"No."

Luo Xueqing didn't expect Di Jingyan's answer to be so decisive.

She put down the spoon unhappily and pointed the back of her head at him.

【Dog man!!!】

Di Jingyan looked at her angry back and couldn't help but curl up the corners of his lips.

The next second, he suddenly reached out and picked her up by the waist!

Luo Xueqing screamed and subconsciously kicked back.

Her ankle was held in Di Jingyan's hand and she couldn't move.

"Luo Jieyu, you want to murder your husband?"

"How dare I?"

Luo Xueqing smiled, and taking advantage of his unpreparedness, she raised her arm and grabbed Di Jingyan's collar.

The distance between two people is just right.

Luo Xueqing tilted her head and pressed her nose against his tall nose, with a meaningful smile on her face.

"Your Majesty, even if you don't say it, I can guess your decision."

"Really?" Di Jingyan raised one eyebrow nonchalantly, "Luo Jieyu, why don't you speak freely? Hmm?"

"Du Tengzhi's crimes are too numerous to list. Your Majesty, as a wise king, will certainly not turn a deaf ear and ignore them." Luo Xueqing suddenly leaned close to his ear, her breath as sweet as orchid, "Therefore, in my humble opinion, you will still punish Du Tengzhi, this criminal!"

"After all, killing a chicken to scare the monkeys is the only way to deter people!"

Luo Xueqing turned around neatly and sat directly in his arms, her left little finger casually drawing circles on his chest, "Your Majesty, I am willing to be a chess piece in your hand and help you so much. It is reasonable for you to reward me?"

Di Jingyan raised his eyebrows and looked at her, a hint of surprise flashing across his eyes.

"When did you find out?"

"Without your majesty's permission, how could what happened in the previous dynasty be spread to the harem?"

"Your Majesty deliberately let someone leak the news to me, isn't it just to make me the chess piece to break the deadlock?" Luo Xueqing smiled slightly, her tone so calm that no emotion could be heard.

"As you wish, I am here."

Luo Xueqing hooked her arms around his neck, her watery almond-shaped eyes met his, with a smile on her face.

[The dog emperor had already planned everything. ]

[Du Tengzhi is angry that I revealed his secret in public, and he will definitely target me in the court.]

[Di Jingyan, who had calculated this, would have tried every possible means to lead me to the Qianqing Palace.]

[As long as there is a fight between Du Tengzhi and me, the chess game in his hand will change.]

[He is the one who controls the overall situation, and Du Tengzhi and I are just pawns in the hands of the dog emperor.]

[No matter who wins or loses, the Dog Emperor will be the final winner. ]

[If I win, Du Tengzhi will be the 'chicken' that intimidates the other courtiers! If I lose, it won't be a big loss for him.]

[He is betting on how valuable I am and that I will not lose.]

Apparently, he won the bet.

[As expected of an emperor who plays political games~]

At this moment, Luo Xueqing was filled with emotion.

Di Jingyan didn't expect that she was so smart.

He never noticed the gradual change in the look in his eyes when he looked at Luo Xueqing.

From the initial suspicion and curiosity, it turned into amazement and admiration.

"Has Concubine Luo ever heard a sentence?"

"What does Your Majesty want to say?"

"Sometimes, people can't be too smart." Di Jingyan looked at her deeply and said in a light tone, "The Records of the Grand Historian says: Wisdom is enough to reject advice, and words are enough to cover up mistakes."

"Your Majesty, have you forgotten that I am a dying person?" Luo Xueqing shrugged nonchalantly, "A dying person has nothing to fear."

Di Jingyan frowned, and a feeling of irritation suddenly rose in his heart.

Luo Xueqing, will you really not live past your prime?

"Your Majesty," Luo Xueqing pointed at his arm and said sincerely, "For the sake of your injury, I will say one more word!"

"Although I don't understand government affairs, I know one thing very well: if you want to tame an unruly horse, just feeding it straw will only nourish the horse's ambition!"

Meeting her eyes, Di Jingyan fell into deep thought.

Luo Jieyu——

Very wise and almost demonic.

[The dog emperor is a smart man~]

[If we keep a court parasite like Du Tengzhi, it will do more harm than good to the country.]

"Your Majesty, I know your concerns. How about I make a deal with you?"

After thinking for a moment, Luo Xueqing looked up at him and smiled, "I know something about the Left Prime Minister Pei Xuanming, maybe I can help Your Majesty..."

……

A moment of Xu.

Di Jingyan returned to the main hall of the Qianqing Palace.

A group of court officials, led by Prime Minister Pei, were still stubborn and wanted to exonerate Du Tengzhi!

"I have already seen the evidence presented by Concubine Luo." Di Jingyan stroked his ring calmly and winked at General Manager Xia, "Prime Minister Pei, please take a look too!"

Prime Minister Pei, who had an arrogant expression, changed his face instantly after reading the evidence handed over by General Manager Xia!

The whole person shook uncontrollably twice and almost collapsed to the ground!

"The Minister of War Du Tengzhi broke the law knowingly, and his crimes are too numerous to list! Pass on my order to take him to the prison of the Ministry of Justice and execute him in the autumn!" Emperor Jingyan half-squinted his eyes, his tone as cold as a cicada, "Does Pei Xiang have any objection to my decision?"

Pei Xuanming clenched the tablet in his hand, knelt down and kowtowed, "Your Majesty is wise, and this old minister... has no objection!"

The court officials who followed Pei Xuanming were all stunned.

What does Prime Minister Pei mean?

"Your Majesty, Concubine Luo is disrespectful to the court..." Minister of War Xie Chuanxiong spoke unwillingly.

"The harem is not allowed to interfere in government affairs. I will punish Concubine Luo by confining her to the palace for a month. No one is allowed to visit her without my order." Di Jingyan said expressionlessly, "Thank you, my dear minister, for any objections?"

"Old minister..."

Xie Chuanxiong, who was about to speak, stopped talking immediately after receiving Pei Zuoxiang's eye warning.

"Since you have no other objections, let's adjourn the court!"

Di Jingyan said this indifferently, then stood up and left the Qianqing Palace first.

The court officials gathered around Pei Xuanming in groups of three or four.

"Master Xiang?"

"Why didn't the Prime Minister let me..."

"Shut up!"

Pei Xuanming rebuked coldly, "Your Majesty has already made concessions, Lord Xie should not push his luck further!"

Xie Chuanxiong, who was scolded for no reason, felt completely confused.

……

Chengqian Palace.

After listening to Luo Xueqing's explanation, Chuntao was dumbfounded.

"My Lady, do you mean that His Majesty has confined you to your room on the surface, but in fact he has allowed you to leave the palace for a month?"

"That's right~" Luo Xueqing, who was in a good mood, couldn't help but pinch Chuntao's little face, "Chuntao, go prepare some casual clothes and bring more banknotes. We will leave the palace early tomorrow morning~"

"No, my lady, where are we going after leaving the palace?"

"Go see grandfather." Luo Xueqing said with her eyes lowered.
