Seeing that everyone had left, Emperor Dayu spoke again.

"Hey, Jiang Li, I admit that everything you said is correct. So, now you can also openly tell me the purpose of your coming here."

Jiang Li replied calmly: "The purpose of my coming here is very simple, to rescue Mu Jianning and the others, of course, including Xiao Shiqi."

"Is this true?"

Emperor Dayu immediately looked at Jiang Li excitedly, his eyes couldn't hide the surprise.

Jiang Li pouted, and responded: "Don't be so excited, I went to save Xiao Shiqi because I was friends with her anyway, and it has nothing to do with you."

Of course, Emperor Dayu knew this well. He knew that since the moment he chose to give up Jiang Li, the relationship between him and Jiang Li had no chance to ease.

However, for him, as long as he can save Xiao Shiqi.

"It doesn't matter, as long as I can save Xiao Shiqi, I will be satisfied. Jiang Li, when will you leave, and if there is anything you need, I will definitely prepare it for you."

Jiang Li shook his head, he didn't want to owe Emperor Dayu any favors now.

"No need, I will leave as soon as possible. However, there is one thing I want to ask before that. What is Xiao Shiqi's true identity, and why did the Yaozu people arrest her?"

Jiang Li would not believe that the ancient monster clan in the mountains and seas tried their best to capture Xiao Shiqi, just for revenge on Emperor Dayu.

You know, if they want revenge, they will have more and better choices instead of this kind of thankless behavior.

When Emperor Dayu saw that he couldn't hide it anymore, he had no choice but to tell the truth.

"Jiang Li, do you know why Xiao Shiqi's mother disappeared?"

Jiang Li was taken aback for a moment, but he shook his head, expressing that he didn't know.

Emperor Dayu's memory suddenly returned to that summer. At that time, he had just inherited the throne not long ago, and the whole court still had some doubts about his authority.

In order to be able to deter the officials, Emperor Dayu also chose to go to the imperial conquest to take back the territory that was robbed by the monster clan.

At that time, Emperor Dayu was really young and promising, coupled with his hard work, he quickly won the support of his officials.

But at this time, Emperor Dayu fell in love with a woman who should not be in love with at all.

At first, the woman did not reveal her identity to Emperor Dayu.

When she met Emperor Yu, it was the time when Emperor Yu led his own conquest.

When Emperor Dayu saw her lying alone in a pool of blood and was seriously injured, he rescued her.

Later, Emperor Dayu also fell in love with her for a long time, and even had a skin-to-skin relationship.

It was also from that day that Emperor Dayu knew her true identity.

The saint of the ancient demon clan!
Upon hearing the news, Emperor Dayu felt that his life was about to collapse.

To be honest, he has married many women in his life.

However, most of those women chose marriages because of political connections.

Only Xiao Shiqi's mother was the woman he really fell in love with.

But the identity of Xiao Shiqi's mother meant that the two of them could not be together for a long time.

Moreover, if outsiders know the identity of Xiao Shiqi's mother, Xiao Shiqi will also be discriminated against, and even forced to death.

In desperation, in order to protect their mother and daughter, Emperor Dayu had to declare that Xiao Shiqi's mother died of dystocia.

In fact, he hid Xiao Shiqi's mother.

But Xiao Shiqi's mother thought that Emperor Yu didn't love her anymore, so she chose to commit suicide amidst disappointment and despair.

After this incident happened, Emperor Dayu also regretted it very much.

If he knew that things would happen to this point, he would rather give up the throne than let something happen to her.

It's a pity that there is no medicine for regret in this world.

From then on, Emperor Dayu took care of Xiao Shiqi even more, and gave Xiao Shiqi all the love he gave to her mother.

At the same time, Emperor Dayu also knew that Xiao Shiqi had the blood of the ancient demon saint.

In order to protect Xiao Shiqi from being harmed by the ancient monster clan, Emperor Dayu also tried his best to prevent the contact between the people in the country and the monster clan.

After saying all this, Emperor Dayu seemed to have aged a lot in an instant.

"It seems that the purpose of the ancient demon clan to capture Xiao Shiqi is for the saint's blood in her body."

Emperor Dayu nodded and replied: "I think so too. I just don't know why they want the blood of the saint.

Jiang Li, you have also seen the current situation. In the entire court, no one is willing to save Xiao Shiqi.Now, I can only rely on you. "

Jiang Li replied: "Don't worry, I will definitely do my best."

"Thank you, and I'm sorry."

Jiang Li was slightly taken aback. To be honest, he never thought that Emperor Dayu would actually say sorry to him.

You know, Emperor Dayu is the king of a country no matter what.

When have you ever seen a king of a country say sorry to a grassroots?

"You're welcome, as I said, I did this only for Xiao Shiqi."

"Anyway, I still want to thank you."

Emperor Dayu looked into the distance, and said slowly: "These things have been hidden in my heart for too long, and I have long wanted to express them quickly. It's a pity, but there is no chance. And your appearance, It just happened to give me such a chance."

Jiang Li didn't know what to say for a while, so he took the opportunity to change the subject, and then left the Golden Palace.

"Your Majesty, it's not too late. I have to hurry to the mountains and seas. The longer I delay now, the more dangerous Xiao Shiqi and the others will be."

When Emperor Dayu saw this, he didn't say anything more.

"Okay, then you can go. Don't worry, I will issue an edict immediately to cancel the arrest warrant for you and restore all your previous titles. The token of the former emperor in your hand can still exercise his due power !"

Although Jiang Li doesn't care about these things, with this status, it is indeed much more convenient for Jiang Li to act.

After all, there are still many Dayu troops in the mountains and seas.

Jiang Li needs the cooperation of these people if he wants to successfully rescue Xiao Shiqi and the others.

If he still appears as a wanted criminal, there is no guarantee that he will not conflict with these people.

After Jiang Li left the Golden Palace, all the ministers rushed in.

Seeing Emperor Dayu's distraught look, they unconsciously guessed in their hearts.

What did Jiang Li do just now? Why does His Majesty look so unhappy?
"Your Majesty, this Jiang Li is really too much. Now that he hasn't gone far, it's better to let the subordinates go down and arrest him."
