After a tragic death and rebirth, the scumbag tore Bai Yueguang apart for me
Chapter 192 Anna's Provocation
The military power was handed over reluctantly.
But I didn't give up.
"Huahua, people in the slums are poor. Since you have handed over the military power, you can donate some money, a house or something. The jewelry on your body is very nice, take it off."
I waved my hand and Huo Huahua brought over a large bucket and casually set up a donation box for people to donate.
The ministers protected their jewels and said to Gu Sinian, "You can't be so pushy. We have handed over our military power, and you still want our money. Isn't this asking for our lives?"
"That's right. If they take away all the money and power, what's the point of keeping our lives?"
Amid their various accusations and doubts, I curled my lips and said, "Then he took my life too."
In an instant, the entire meeting room fell silent.
Duke Yi slowly held onto the back of the chair and tried to slide down along the edge to sit down, but he staggered a few steps and ultimately did not sit down.
The guard behind him helped him and pulled him back to the chair.
Others were too dumb to say a word.
After all, in their opinion, it was Gu Sinian who allowed me to abuse them like this.
"We can hand them all over, but there is one condition, that is, you and Gu Sinian must get married. Otherwise, even if we risk our lives, give up our property, and lose our titles, we will not hesitate."
"We all agree!"
"Defend our Han Kingdom's imperial power from being taken away by outsiders!"
I turned my head to look at Gu Sinian and suddenly asked him, "Do you have any objections?"
He was slightly stunned and looked at me with a frown.
"Do you have any objection to their proposal?" When I asked again, I turned my head back and left him with the back of my head.
"You arrange it." His answer was what I expected.
"Then you pick a date."
I stretched lazily, and my answer shocked everyone even more, because they just wanted to threaten me with this until I was sure that I would not agree.
But they didn’t expect that I would agree directly this time, and they couldn’t think of any words for a moment.
"Huahua, count their property and return it to the national treasury."
Compared to sacrificing my personal marriage, getting their money will enrich the national treasury, and I will have the money to build a few more bridges to boost the economy on both sides of the Huai River.
"Yes, sir!" Huo Huahua answered happily.
When I walked out, Gu Sinian was pulled by the ministers and complained: "Sinian, it's better for you to be the cold emperor."
"Yeah, this is nothing. What can we do with our small family business?"
"I have elderly parents and young children to take care of. How can I live if my property is confiscated?"
I didn't hear how Gu Sinian answered, but the news would soon spread far and wide.
What I didn’t expect was that before the news got out, an uninvited guest was already waiting for me in my side hall.
"Emperor Han, Miss Anna from Continental is waiting for you in the side hall."
Anna is coming at this time?
Could it be that she didn’t find Huo Yan yesterday and came to me now?
But didn’t Huo Yan leave last night?
No, it snowed heavily last night, Huo Yan should not be able to leave, but where did he go? I really don't know.
As soon as I opened the door, I saw Anna, who was wearing a beige dress, like a noble princess, with white gloves on her hands. She slowly picked up a cup of hot tea and took a sip elegantly.
When he saw me come in, he greeted me with a smile.
"It is my honor to meet the Cold Emperor."
Before I could say anything, she came over with her skirt lifted up, lifted my wrist and kissed the back of my hand.
I smiled in return and asked the servant to give her a new cup of milk tea.
"The people in the continental countries like dairy products, so switch to sweet milk tea."
Sometimes I feel that Huo Yan’s exclusive ranch does not exist just because I like it, because people in his country love to drink.
How do I know that? I saw that the pin buttons on Anna's skirt were sweet milk buttons.
I remember that the information Huo Huahua gave me about Anna showed that they both liked to drink sweet milk tea.
"The Cold Emperor really knows our Continental Country. In the past, Cyril even built a ranch specifically for me and made sweet milk tea just for me."
The purpose of her coming here was very clear.
He didn't try to intimidate me, but he was trying to persuade me to tell me that everything Huo Yan did, he also did to her.
"Yeah." I answered softly.
"By the way, I heard that the Cold Emperor is quite familiar with our Xi Ruier. You two came from Shencheng together, right? I stay in the Continental Country all year round and rarely go out. Is Shencheng far away? When Xi Ruier and I separated, he said he would come back soon, but he only came back now. I thought Shencheng was far away, which prevented him from coming back to marry me earlier."
Anna's voice was soft to begin with, and now that she was feeling aggrieved, she raised her hand and took a handkerchief to gently wipe away her tears.
Huo Yan went to Shenzhen when he was a teenager.
So Anna is Huo Yan’s childhood sweetheart and first love?
I don’t know why, even though I knew Anna was coming for me on purpose, I still felt a little sad.
"You can just ask him."
I sat in another chair next to her and took the sweet milk tea that the servant had just brought. It was just the right temperature, so I took a sip.
It's obviously sweet, but it tasted astringent when I drank it so I put it down.
"The taste is still a little off. Cyril always makes it for me personally every time."
I almost choked on the sweet milk tea I was drinking.
"By the way, Cyril said that Gal had brought the strongest troops of the Intercontinental Nation here. Why didn't I see Gal?"
She came here like a superior coming to inspect.
She wanted to tell me that Huo Yan was hers, and that my current safety was only possible with the help of the strongest troops from the Intercontinental Country that Gal brought with him.
"I haven't seen him for several days." I was telling the truth.
These days I thought it was Howard who was handling the war, but now it seems that it is Gal who is handling it. But he doesn’t want to see me these days?
"Then I'll go find Gar. Cyril has been worried about him these days, so he asked me to come and see how he's doing. After all, I'm his sister-in-law. Don't you have a saying in Shencheng that the eldest sister-in-law is like a mother?"
I put down my teacup and hummed.
She got up and wanted to find Gal.
"I'll have someone send you to the front, but your long skirt may not be suitable for the front. Can you change it?"
I tilted my head to show that I didn't care. When I turned around to get a skirt, I also took out the blanket that Huo Yan had covered me with last night.
The blanket he covered me with was his own, with classic Suzhou embroidery HYW on it.
This is also why I told Huo Huahua with certainty that Huo Yan was here last night.
I would recognize his logo even if he turned into ashes.
Anna also saw the blanket in my hand. It was pure white, with only golden embroidery on the edge.
But she still smiled and took the clothes from my hand.
"Take your blanket with you too. It's quite cold in the war zone."
