Transmigrated into a goddess from another world, and criticized the King of Yan for loving her like

They could think of peace talks, but they couldn't think of what conditions to offer Yan Xuanye.

Left Prime Minister Lu He: "Your Majesty, this matter still needs to be considered in the long run. The Yan bandits have just captured Qingzhou, and they have traveled a long way, and they must need some time to reorganize."

"I think that should be enough time."

The emperor frowned and thought for a moment, then finally said, "Well, let's adjourn the court."

"General Lu Huan, please come to the back hall after the court is dismissed. I have something to ask you."

Lu Huan: "I obey your command."

The court officials also bowed down and knelt at the emperor's feet, "I will take my leave."

Lu Huan walked against the crowd towards the emperor's back hall, but there was a person who followed him like a ghost.

Lu Huan turned back impatiently, "Master Pei!"

"Are you okay?"

Pei Ji smiled gently and said to him, "General Lu, since you left the Hanlin Academy, we haven't had a good chat for a long time. I think..."

Lu Huan interrupted his greeting: "Master Pei, His Majesty is still waiting for me."

Pei Ji: "I mean, after Lord Lu finishes his discussion, why don't we go to Taifeng Tower and have a drink together?"

Lu Huan looked at him expressionlessly, "My father passed away not long ago, and I am still in mourning, so it is inconvenient for me to go to the restaurant to have fun. Lord Pei's hospitality is not something I should refuse, but... it is really inconvenient, please forgive me, Lord."

Pei Ji: "Well, I won't force you, Lord Lu."

Lu Huan nodded and followed the eunuch beside him towards the back hall.

Little did he know that after he left, Pei Ji's gaze still followed him for a long time.

……

When Lu Huan arrived at the back hall, the emperor had already changed into his regular clothes. He glanced at Lu Huan calmly and said, "Ziyi, you're here."

"Princess Nanchang is your stepmother. What do you think of her stealing the Tiger Treasure?"

Lu Huan knew that the emperor would definitely ask this question. He looked calm and said naturally, "I have also heard about this matter, but I don't know why Princess Nanchang stole the tiger talisman."

The emperor was a little unconvinced. He looked up at her unkindly, "Oh~ You really don't know?"

"Your Majesty is joking. How could I know?"

"But Jiarong said that it was you who ordered it."

Lu Huan knew that the emperor was testing him on purpose. "I don't know why the princess said that, but please understand, Your Majesty, I did not instigate this."

"I'm sorry to say that. The princess has always been arrogant. Only my dead father is worthy of her attention. Otherwise, how could the princess obey my orders?"

The emperor thought for a moment and did not refute his words.

After a while, he asked again: "In your opinion, why did Jiarong do this?"

Lu Huan continued, "Your Majesty, in my humble opinion, the princess wanted to steal the tiger talisman because she was still brooding over her father's death and wanted to mobilize troops to avenge her father.

It is because of my incompetence that I failed to defend Zhiyi City, and I also implicated my father and caused the princess such harm. I am really ashamed of my father, the princess and the Nanchang Kingdom. "

The emperor saw that he could not get anything out of him, so he decided to end the topic. "Forget it, it's not easy for you either. Please leave first. I will go see Jiarong."

Lu Huan: "I obey your order."

……

In Zhiyang Palace, Gao Jiarong knelt for another whole night. In the early morning, he felt really unwell, so he was helped by his maid to lie down and rest.

For her, being grounded and not allowed to go out were not what she cared about most. What she cared about most was that she could not get Lu Guang's body back.

If she could not fulfill the agreement with Lu Huan, then Lu Huan would definitely not return Lu Guang's body to her. She was anxious, but there was nothing she could do.

Although she had some experience in picking locks, she was now under the emperor's nose and was being watched by someone special, so Gao Jiarong did not dare to be too presumptuous.

He had already offended the emperor by stealing the tiger talisman. If he tried to pick the lock during the house arrest, it would undoubtedly add fuel to the fire and offend the emperor again.

She had no choice but to settle down temporarily, hoping that Lu Huan would give her some more time.

Gao Jiarong was imprisoned for five days, and it was not until the fifth day that the emperor set foot in her Zhiyang Palace.

When Gao Jiarong saw him coming, he struggled to get up and kneeled on the ground, bowing to him, "Royal brother."

The emperor asked the maids to go out and stand guard outside the palace, then he found a chair and sat up, facing her. "I asked the maids to leave, just to save your face."

"Tell me, why did you steal the tiger talisman?"

"Brother, please understand. I took the tiger talisman only for A Guang."

The emperor looked down at her trembling figure, "Really?"

"Then tell me why you do this."

Gao Jiarong tried his best to endure it, but tears fell silently.

She lowered her head, not wanting to be seen by the emperor.

"I hate the people of Fengyuan for killing A Guang, and I want to avenge him, but I also know that this matter is serious, and my brother will definitely not agree with me doing this. I have no choice but to resort to this desperate measure."

She knelt on the ground in embarrassment, not daring to look up at the emperor.

The emperor today is no longer the mediocre brother of the past. He is scheming and calculating, extremely dark, and has the domineering demeanor of the supreme ruler.

At the same time, she felt extremely resentful towards Lu Huan.

If he loved his father and had buried Lu Guang earlier, she would not have taken such a radical approach and tried to steal the tiger talisman.

The emperor didn't say anything. He was thinking about the truthfulness of her words. Gao Jiarong looked up at him with tears in her eyes and discovered that the emperor's expression was frightening.

At this moment Gao Jiarong realized that the dignity and face of a princess were all empty words and she didn't want them anymore.

Gao Jiarong crawled towards the emperor on her knees. When she reached the emperor, she grabbed his gorgeous boots and said, "Brother, please believe me. What I said is true. I just want to avenge A Guang."

"It's not that I'm not loyal to you, nor do I want to covet your throne and kingdom! I just can't bear to see Guang go away like this without knowing the reason."

For the sake of Lu Guang's body, Gao Jiarong did not dare to involve Lu Huan. After all, Lu Huan had a hold on her weak spot.

The emperor sighed, but his voice was very cold, "I know you are infatuated, but you are really stupid!"

"Even if you stole the tiger talisman, so what? Without my edict, you can't use it even if you got it!"

Gao Jiarong was stunned where he stood. "W-what?"
