"Then Mr. Wan doesn't know which room is the princess's bedroom?" Li Hao asked seemingly casually.

"This is the princess's bedroom." Wan Quan pointed to the most gorgeous bedroom and said.Li Hao hurriedly released his soul power, and soon found a girl in the room meditating.

"Yu'er, it won't take long for me to take you back." Li Hao thought to himself.

"Your Majesty, Young Master Li Hao, is waiting for you in the study." Wan Quan continued.

"Your Majesty, Young Master Li Hao is here." Wan Quan called softly, fearing that he would disturb His Majesty Youlan.

"Come in!" A weak voice came out of the study, and you could hear from the voice how sad His Majesty Youlan was now.

"Yes!" Wan Quan responded softly, then turned to Li Hao and said, "Young Master Li Hao, please come!"

"Squeak." They were gently pushed away by Wan Quan.Li Hao followed Wan Quan and walked in gently.

After walking in, Li Hao was still a little nervous or excited. Last time, he only saw the outline of His Majesty Youlan from a distance in the air and didn't see his appearance clearly at all. Now that he is in such close contact, Li Hao is really looking forward to seeing him. Look at His Majesty the Orchid Empire and Jiang Tingting’s father.

"Your Majesty." Wan Quan called softly.After getting closer, Li Hao could clearly see His Majesty Youlan's appearance. Only then did Li Hao realize that His Majesty the Youlan Empire was so kind and kind. Of course, he also exuded a sense of domineering power, but that domineering power was not as strong as the current one. The environment is somewhat faded.

Now His Majesty Youlan's face is full of sorrow and vicissitudes of life. Sometimes what makes people grow old is not necessarily age but may be experience, and often experience changes people even more.

"Your Majesty." Li Hao also called out. Li Hao's expression was very serious. I have to say that Li Hao admired His Majesty Youlan very much.

"Are you Li Hao?" Her Majesty Youlan turned her head and looked at Li Hao and asked. Her Majesty Youlan looked at Li Hao with a kind expression.It really reminds me of the expression of a father looking at his children.

Feeling His Majesty Youlan's kind eyes, Li Hao felt a deep feeling of happiness. He thought of his father, who had been away from home for another two years.After all, Li Hao has only gone back once in the past four years.Now Li Hao misses his family, especially his father.

"It's this junior." Li Hao said respectfully.This kind of respect is actually not only awe but also respect.

"Yes, that's right. He is indeed a talented person." Your Majesty Youlan nodded with satisfaction. "I wonder who your father is?" Your Majesty Youlan also started asking from here.

"Your Majesty, Li Hao is the queen of the Li family, Li Tian." Wan Quan answered first.

"Li family? I really didn't expect it. They are descendants of Li Tian, ​​the founding hero of the country." Her Majesty Youlan continued, "But the Li family was suppressed by other families from the imperial capital after Li Tian, ​​and then I haven't heard much about it." Your Majesty Youlan also felt a little regretful at this point, "But now that we have an outstanding descendant like you, we can revitalize the family just around the corner."

"Your Majesty, you praise me." Li Hao said modestly. It is of course the greatest honor to receive such praise from His Majesty, but he must not be proud of it.

"I wonder how the Li family's situation is now?" Your Majesty Youlan continued to ask.

"Your Majesty, my father is the current patriarch and is leading his family to live in a small town." Li Hao answered truthfully.

"I'm really wronging you. If it's convenient, let the Li family move to the imperial capital." His Majesty Youlan said lightly. Although His Majesty Youlan said it more casually, it changed the fate of a family. It is obvious that His Majesty Youlan did this. It was a small thing, but it made Li Hao remember him as a favor. Li Hao was not a fool. Of course he knew that this relationship was not good, but for the sake of the family, Li Hao could only do his best.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Li Hao thanked him quickly.

"In that case, I'll leave this matter to you, Wanquan." Your Majesty Youlan continued, "Li Hao, I wonder what your plans are in the future?" Your Majesty Youlan finally changed the topic and seemed to be getting down to business. .

"Li Hao is just a commoner who has this strength thanks to the teachings of his family teacher. His family teacher has always taught Li Hao that a good man must protect his family and the country, so now that he sees rebels rising everywhere, Li Hao naturally wants to stop them. Although Li Hao knows his My power is insignificant, but I still want to do my best." Li Hao said modestly. Li Hao only briefly mentioned Piao Yun's matter but did not want to expose Piao Yun's identity because he knew that his sect was very secretive. .

"What about after the war?" Your Majesty Youlan continued to ask.

"After the war, Li Hao will naturally remain Li Hao." Li Hao replied calmly. Li Hao's meaning was already obvious. He didn't want to play the game of being crowned and promoted. In addition to his sincere desire to drive away the rebels, the most important thing about defending the empire was to protect the empire. It was because this was a task given to him by Piao Yun, so he wanted to continue to practice with Piao Yun after completing the task. He did not want the secular world to affect his practice.

"Haven't you ever thought about being crowned?" Your Majesty Youlan said straight to the point this time.

"Li Hao has never thought about this. Li Hao just wants to follow his master to practice after the war. This is Li Hao's expectation." Li Hao answered truthfully.

"Then are you confident in defeating the rebellion?" Your Majesty Youlan seemed really anxious that she would ask Li Hao directly.

"Li Hao is not sure. He can only say that he is trying his best." Li Hao's answer was quite honest. After all, no one can guarantee this kind of thing.

"Hey. It is indeed the case." His Majesty Youlan shook his head helplessly and said, "It would be great if the Imperial Preceptor Piaoyun was here. With the powerful strength of the Imperial Preceptor, it is not impossible to defeat the enemy with just one person, but the Imperial Preceptor still has There are other things to do. Before leaving, the Imperial Master said that his disciples could help me, but I don’t know when he will show up."

"National Preceptor? Piaoyun?" Li Hao's first question was, "It turns out that the teacher is the Imperial Preceptor of the Empire. The teacher is really the Imperial Preceptor and is not here at this time. However, looking at His Majesty's appearance, he didn't know that I was the teacher." Li Hao secretly thought, "Since Your Majesty doesn't know, I don't need to tell you and wait until I have a chance to tell you." Li Hao secretly decided not to tell His Majesty Youlan about his identity.

"Your Majesty, please rest assured that as long as Li Hao is here, the rebels will not let the rebels enter the imperial capital." Li Hao said seriously, "Don't you remember that a good man protects his family and his country?"

"A good man protects his family and his country!" His Majesty Youlan suddenly said, "What a good man, he protects his family and his country. It turns out that the person who was on the city that day was you. Why didn't I think of that at the time."

"Li Haozhen likes you very much, why don't you become my adopted son." His Majesty Youlan suddenly said it. In other words, this is the real purpose of His Majesty Youlan. As long as Li Hao can be his adopted son, he can do whatever he wants. Do your best to protect the empire for him

, of course this is a good thing for Li Hao.Let’s not talk about the position of this prince, let’s just say that Your Majesty Youlan does not have a prince. After His Majesty Youlan abdicates, Li Haoke will be the legitimate heir.

If it were anyone else, they would definitely agree directly, but Li Hao was different.His ambition was not here in the first place. Being or not being His Majesty Youlan has no influence on him. It can even be said that becoming Your Majesty Youlan will affect Li Hao's cultivation even more.On the contrary, Li Hao did not want to be His Majesty Youlan.

Of course that's not all.Your Majesty Youlan is not that easy to be. Just imagine that if an outsider wants to be Your Majesty Youlan, it is not that simple. Others will definitely object.In this case, Li Hao would fall into a power struggle. Li Hao was not that kind of person. How could Li Hao defeat those wily ministers.

The most important point is not these. The most important thing is that if Li Hao becomes His Majesty's prince, he will become Jiang Tingting's brother. In that case, the relationship with Jiang Tingting must not be that kind of relationship.

"Your Majesty, Li Hao, doesn't have that kind of ambition, so please forgive me!" Li Hao said with a smile. Li Hao's smile was not simple. This smile was completely taken as His Majesty Youlan was joking, so this is not considered a joke. It goes against His Majesty's will.

"In this case, I won't embarrass you. Tell me what requests you have, as long as they are not too excessive, I will satisfy you." His Majesty Youlan continued, it can be said that Jun Wu was joking, as long as His Majesty Youlan said so, he would definitely do it. Try to be content doing yours.

This time Li Hao was in trouble.Although Li Hao doesn't want to be crowned, he definitely has a request. I don't know whether I should say this request. If I don't say it, I will definitely regret missing this opportunity. But if I say it and offend His Majesty, Li Hao can He couldn't afford it, so Li Hao was in trouble.

"What's wrong? Is there anything you dare not say?" Her Majesty Youlan asked curiously, looking at Li Hao's expression.

"I want to marry the princess!" Li Hao finally summoned the courage to say.

"Pfft." Your Majesty Youlan almost spat out. He never thought that Li Hao would make such a request. This was too daring. His Majesty asked him to make a request and he really dared to ask.If it had been anyone else, His Majesty would have been furious.

"You go down first." Your Majesty Youlan said angrily, "You can follow me to Qiankun Palace tomorrow morning." After saying that, Your Majesty Youlan turned around and ignored Li Hao.

Li Hao also knew that his request was too much and he could see that Her Majesty Youlan was angry, but he really didn't want to miss this opportunity. If he missed it this time, he wouldn't know if he would have another chance in the future.

"Young Master Li Hao, let's go." Wan Quan quickly reminded Li Hao to leave.He didn't want to see Li Hao make any more excessive demands.

Li Hao naturally knew Wanquan's intention and did not continue. This time, he just wanted to give His Majesty a warning to let him know about this.

"Yu'er, don't worry, I will definitely do it." Li Hao thought to himself.Even if Li Hao fails this time, he will never give up. After the rebellion is put down, he will snatch Jiang Tingting away even if he wants to snatch her away from Li Hao.

"Civil and military officials enter the palace." A voice came from the hall.The person who made this voice was none other than Mr. Wan Quanwan. Mr. Wan is both a minister and a close minister of His Majesty. However, the Youlan Empire is not like some dynasties in history that have more eunuchs. The ministers of the Youlan Empire are all former ministers. The general who followed His Majesty on the battlefield, Mr. Wan, although he is older than me, is still estimated to have the strength of a war king.

The officials who had been waiting outside, including Li Hao, heard the sound and walked into the Qiankun Hall one after another. "Your Majesty has arrived." Wan Quan said in a long tone, which was inconsistent with the traditional sense of going to court.

In Wanquan's voice, a majestic old man slowly walked out. Although Li Hao looked at Your Majesty Youlan quite kindly yesterday, in front of all the civil and military officials, His Majesty Youlan revealed a completely domineering and majestic look. , this is the innate momentum of the emperor.

"Hail, Your Majesty!" All the civil and military officials said in unison, which was different from Long Live Your Majesty.They don't have much etiquette.Just a blessing.

"Since we are all here, I won't say any more nonsense. Do you know why I called you all back today?" His Majesty Youlan asked lightly.Although they will go to court these days, there are definitely not so many people. This time, almost all the important ministers were called back.Including Xiang Yingtian, who was resisting Zhuo Ding, called back.

"I don't know." The important ministers replied in unison. In their opinion, the most important thing now is to put down the rebellion. It is definitely not appropriate to call them all back now. If the enemy attacks, there is really nothing they can do.

"Do you think asking you to come back will affect the situation of the war?" Who is His Majesty Youlan? Of course he knows what the ministers think, so he said angrily, "Are you sure you can defeat the enemy even if you are not called back?"

"This..." The important ministers lowered their heads after hearing His Majesty Youlan's words. They all knew their own situation, and it was considered good to be able to block the enemy for a period of time.

"I asked you to come back today because Zhuo Ding and his four scholars have come to the imperial capital. They want to negotiate peace with me. They are threatening me." Your Majesty Youlan said angrily.

"Then what kind of request did they make?" A minister asked with courage.Listening to His Majesty's words, you can tell that their requirements must be very harsh.

"Hmph! They actually want to marry my princess. Do they really think that I am so easy to bully?" Her Majesty Youlan became angrier as she spoke. They not only wanted to marry the princess, but also threatened it. If they challenged the imperial power again, Your Majesty agreed and they defeated Your Majesty. More importantly, as long as they married the princess, they could legitimately become Emperor Youlan without spending a single soldier.

But if Your Majesty Youlan doesn't agree, they will use their iron cavalry to level the entire imperial capital, and then all living beings will be burned.

"Marry my Yu'er?" Li Hao thought angrily, "They are really crazy. No wonder His Majesty didn't mention this matter to me yesterday. It turns out there is a reason."

"What do you think we should do?" Your Majesty Youlan was also very hesitant. If he had made the decision long ago, he would not ask them to come back. Furthermore, His Majesty Youlan understands these people and some ministers would not agree if he himself disagreed. There will be objections. In their opinion, as long as war can be avoided, even sacrificing a princess is nothing.

"Of course not. Let the ministers go back and mobilize their troops to kill the rebels without leaving a trace." Xiang Yingtian was the first to say. He was the main combatant. He wanted to use his own power to drive away the rebels. Because this is also in his interest, as long as he defeats the rebels, he will be rewarded and enfeoffed.

But this is not in everyone's interest. "Your Majesty's ministers think that this is not possible. It is better to promise them to solve the immediate crisis first and then slowly weaken their strength later." A white-bearded civil servant said.This person is Lord Wencheng, the prime minister of the empire. (To be continued)
