After I got into the drama, I led the plot astray

Chapter 44 Etiquette cannot be abolished

Zheng Xian saw that my face was getting uglier and uglier, so he couldn't help but ask, "Ah Man, are you worried about something?"

I felt so upset that I stood up suddenly, but I stood up so quickly that I almost knocked over the table.

I calmed down, but still couldn't suppress my anger. I shouted, "You risked dozens of lives just to test me. As a king, you should love your people instead of hurting them at will. Even if God doesn't punish you for doing this, I can't stand it."

Upon hearing this, Zheng Xian's eyes turned red and his face became extremely ferocious, completely different from the gentle and modest gentleman just now.

I saw him move his body and put his hands on my neck!

Zheng Xian looked at me fiercely and said, "I have been tormented day and night for this empire, and my hair has turned gray with worry. Who has ever pitied me and shared my worries? Now you accuse me of doing something wrong. What have I done wrong?"

My face turned red from being pinched and I was about to die.

I looked at Zheng Xian with bloodshot eyes and tears suddenly flowed down my face. I was so scared.

Suffocation, pain, despair and fear filled my whole body, and the feeling of being on the verge of death came back again.

My clenched teeth made a clicking sound. Am I going to die again? If I die, can I go home?

A glimmer of hope ignited in my despair, and I felt less miserable.

Zheng Xian suddenly softened his heart when he saw me crying.

His hand loosened and he slapped the table. The teacup and teapot made a loud bang and shattered!

My legs were so weak that I couldn't stand, so I sat down on the stool, holding my neck and gasping for breath.

Zheng Xian still felt unsatisfied, so he kicked the stool away. With a "bang", the stool hit the wall and actually knocked a big hole through it!

I looked at Zheng Xian in surprise, and then I realized that he was just trying to scare me. Otherwise, with his strength, it would be easier for him to crush me to death than to crush a chicken.

My throat was so painful from being pinched that I coughed violently a few times and swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva desperately before my throat felt a little better.

I looked at the furious Zheng Xian and suddenly realized how stupid I had just done.

No matter how gentle and harmless Zheng Xian behaves in front of me, he is still a high and mighty king, a king whom no one in the world dares to disobey!

I took a breath and said, "You just asked me what kind of country I live in. I can tell you now. I live in a society ruled by law where everyone is equal, fair, and just. There is no king, only a great leader. The country's affairs are not decided by him, but by the law. From your point of view, I really shouldn't blame you, and I can't blame you, but from my point of view, I think even if you are a king, you can't kill people at will."

I said all this with great righteousness, not to say that I was not afraid of Zheng Xian, on the contrary, I was extremely afraid.

Just now when I felt that I was about to die, I suddenly realized one thing: death is not the most terrible thing. The most terrible thing is being tortured to death slowly.

So I wanted to deliberately provoke Zheng Xian and let him kill me quickly, so that I wouldn’t have to worry about when my head would be chopped off every moment.

"A fair and just society ruled by law?" Zheng Xian murmured, then looked at me and suddenly smiled.

I was frightened by Zheng Xian's mood swings. I looked at him in horror and said, "What do you want to do?"

Zheng Xian looked at the big hole in the wall that he had smashed with the stool and said, "Pass on my order."

As soon as he finished speaking, a secret guard appeared from nowhere, landed gently in front of Zheng Xian, knelt down and waited for his orders.

Zheng Xian then said: "Tell Li Jin to come to see me immediately."

The secret guard responded: "Yes!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the figure disappeared.

Zheng Xian looked at me and said, "Aren't you afraid of death? Why do you look so panicked?"

I puffed out my chest and said in a very powerful manner: "Of course I'm not afraid of death. I'm just afraid that you won't kill me."

Zheng Xian looked at me like I was crazy and said, "I won't kill you. Before I'm sure you're the one who's destined for me, wouldn't killing you be the same as killing me?"

Oh yeah, I almost forgot about this.

I was about to speak when Zheng Xian said slowly, "Don't think that I won't kill you so you can do whatever you want."

My open mouth slowly closed. You know what I am thinking, so what else can I say?

At this time, Li Jin staggered over and trotted.

He was about to kneel down to Zheng Xian, but he found that I was sitting there calmly, while his king was standing!

And at some point, a big hole appeared in the wall, and under the hole there was a stool that was still intact.

He seemed to understand something. He moved to the side, making sure he was away from me, then knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me for being late."

Zheng Xian didn't even glance at him, just kept looking up at the sky and said, "Who am I in your hearts?"

Li Jin didn't expect Zheng Xian to ask him this. Sweat oozed from his forehead, but he still said calmly: "Your Majesty is a good emperor who loves the people like his own children, sympathizes with the people, and understands the righteousness of the country!"

Zheng Xian suddenly lowered his head and asked, "Am I cruel?"

Li Jin shuddered, and said faster than his brain could react: "Your Majesty, who spread this rumor? I will punish him severely!"

Zheng Xian's mouth twitched slightly, and then asked: "Am I a tyrant?"

Li Jin quickly said, "Your Majesty, is it that I have done something wrong that has displeased Your Majesty? Your Majesty, please punish me."

After Li Jin finished speaking, he started to kowtow his head desperately, making a "bang bang bang" sound. It hurt just watching me.

"Okay, get up." Zheng Xian waved his sleeves.

Li Jin stood up tremblingly. He was sweating profusely and could not help but lift up his sleeves to wipe the sweat.

Zheng Xian looked at me and said, "Did you see it?"

What did I see?

Did you see a drama between the emperor and his ministers?

Zheng Xian's thoughts were really hard to figure out, and I didn't want to beat around the bush with him, so I said directly: "In our place, you don't have to kneel when you meet a leader, just shake hands."

Zheng Xian and Li Jin looked at me.

Seeing their puzzled looks, I quickly stood up, grabbed Li Jin's hand, and shook it while saying, "Hello, hello."

Zheng Xian and Li Jin looked at me in surprise, as if they had seen an alien.

Zheng Xian touched his chin and said, "I have never seen such etiquette before."

I let go of Li Jin's hand and said, "Look, how simple and convenient it is."

Seeing Zheng Xian lost in thought and seemed to be wavering, Li Jin shouted anxiously, "Your Majesty, the relationship between the monarch and his subjects is not a joke. Don't listen to her nonsense. It will disrupt the relationship between the monarch and his subjects!"

Zheng Xian waved his sleeves and said, "Enough of that. Shouting and yelling is not decent!"

Li Jin pursed his lips in grievance and dared not say anything else.
