Chapter 1288 Apology
But she also understood that this method was thought up by Murong Li, because her son wanted to protect her mother and was unwilling to hand her mother over to Da Zhou, so he could only come up with such a method to protect her. Yan Guo, protect her.
But neither her elder brother nor Xiao Rongyan agreed to this method, which made Empress Dowager Yan's doubts about Xiao Rongyan a lot less.
She understood... After Bai Qingyan gave birth prematurely, regardless of her own body and two children, she insisted on going to Xiliang, and she went to the border of Yan Kingdom, and asked the personal eunuch by her side to question Xiao Rongyan... The combination of several things made it difficult for her. Ayan was disappointed with Bai Qingyan.
She also finally believed that even if A Yan married Bai Qingyan and became a husband and wife, Dayan would still be put first in his heart, otherwise A Yan should immediately agree to the method of merging the two countries proposed by Xiao Rongyan just now, and then If he secretly helps Bai Qingyan win against Yan, then the whole world... can fall into the hands of his children.
The Empress Dowager Yan had tears in her eyes, she was moved by Murong Li's willingness to gamble a country in order to protect her, and also felt guilty for Xiao Rongyan, with mixed feelings in her heart.
She stepped into the hall with the empress dowager's majesty, and every word was resounding: "The matter of betraying Da Zhou was done by the Ai family! If he Da Zhou insists on our country of Yan to give an explanation, then the Yan family of Ai family will be punished." Hand over the Empress Dowager! Even if the Ai family is dead...you must not just watch Your Majesty and gamble with the future of the country!"
Seeing the Empress Dowager entering, the courtiers of Yan Kingdom saluted the Empress Dowager one after another.
Even Xiao Rongyan stood up from his chair and bowed to Queen Mother Yan.
Murong Li saw his mother stepping into the palace gate, and saw all the courtiers including Uncle Jiu salute to his mother, so he lowered his eyes, cupped his fists and bowed his hands, and pressed his thin lips tightly.
Empress Dowager Yan looked at Murong Li and Xiao Rongyan who were above the high ranks, took a deep breath, and said, "Please wait outside the hall first, the Ai family will persuade the emperor!"
As soon as the queen mother said this, the courtiers got up and left the hall one after another.
Just when Zhong Xingxiao was about to withdraw, the Empress Dowager Yan said: "You stay..."
"Yes!" Zhong Xingxiao hurriedly responded with a bow.
After a while, only Xiao Rongyan, Murong Li, Queen Mother Yan, Murong Ping and Zhong Xingxiao were left in the hall.
The courtiers of the Yan court standing on the square outside the main hall were discussing a lot. The queen mother actually colluded with Xiliang and betrayed Da Zhou. Since Da Zhou made an alliance with the Yan country, it can be said that he has taken good care of the Yan country. ... Isn't the Yan Kingdom going to get a reputation for being unkind and unrighteous?
In the main hall, as soon as the courtiers left, the Empress Dowager couldn't help but burst into tears.
"A Li, you are crazy, you can think of such a way!" The Empress Dowager Yan said as she walked up the high steps, holding the hem of her clothes, "You dare to refute even your ninth uncle and your uncle, A Li ...you really have stiff wings!"
"The Queen Mother should persuade Your Majesty!" Xiao Rongyan said unhurriedly, "My country of Yan has come to this point, and others don't know that the Queen Mother knows about it. For this country... what my brother has done, this king pays... "
Xiao Rongyan paused abruptly before continuing: "What the people of our country of Yan have paid for, the Empress Dowager should know better than Your Majesty!"
How can the Empress Dowager Yan not understand what her husband has done for this country, and Xiao Rongyan has paid more for the country of Yan... almost every day he is carrying his head up to do things for the country of Yan, and the people of the country of Yan...
The Empress Dowager Yan looked at Xiao Rongyan, and nodded to Xiao Rongyan with tears in her eyes: "Ayan, you have been wronged, my sister-in-law knows that you have worked hard for this country! Ah Li's words hurt your heart! My sister-in-law will reprimand him Yes! Ah Yan, don't take it to heart!"
"Uncle Jiu doesn't agree with my method, so what's the opinion of Uncle Jiu?" Murong Li turned his head boldly, and shouted with a look of anger, "If Uncle Jiu can use this method to compare with Ali, the country of Yan, The emperor has a better way to solve the current predicament of the Yan Kingdom, and Ah Li... is willing to give way to Uncle Jiu and never be the emperor!"
"A Li!" The Empress Dowager Yan raised her hand high and looked at Murong Li with wide eyes, but she didn't slap her for a long time.
She remembered that day when she was arguing with Ah Li, she lost her mind and slapped Ah Li in the face. She regretted it until now, she could only tightly clenched her fists with her raised hands, turned around without daring to look at Murong Li, and said sternly: " I'll make amends to your Uncle Nine! Great Zhou Chen Bing on the border of Yan Kingdom... If you want to explain the matter to our Yan Kingdom, the queen mother will go to Great Zhou to plead guilty to the Emperor of Great Zhou in person!"
Hearing this, Zhong Xingxiao's heart skipped a beat.
"Mother's queen..." Murong called Empress Dowager Yan anxiously.
"The disaster was caused by me, so I will bear it alone. The honor and disgrace of my life and death alone are nothing compared to our country of Yan!" The Queen Mother Yan said this, and she was already prepared to die in Da Zhou, but no matter what No matter what, she couldn't let Ah Li use that method to fight for Yan Guo's survival.
If in the future she loses the country of Yan because of this bet, what face will she have to meet her dead husband!
After all... the reason is because of her, and Ah Li's method is to protect her mother!
"That's true, everyone who has embarrassed our country of Yan knows it! Let everyone in the world know... our country of Yan is a shameless villain who rewards virtue with hatred!" Murong Li used sharp words.
"Queen!" Zhong Xingxiao hurriedly stepped forward to kowtow before the queen got angry, "Sending the queen to Da Zhou to plead guilty is more shameful than losing the country! This is tantamount to admitting to the world that you, the queen Zhou Mengguo stabbed a knife in the back, and made people in the world feel that His Majesty is not filial. He even pushed his mother out to appease Da Zhou's anger. How will this make people in the world think about our royal family of Yan Kingdom? The royal family of Yan Kingdom is about to lose its prestige in the hearts of the people !"
"Then what better way do you have?!" Empress Dowager Yan cried hysterically, "What better way! It doesn't matter if I die, I can't lose the country of Yan!"
More importantly, Empress Dowager Yan did not believe that Bai Qingyan really dared to kill her!
"Uncle Guo is right..." Xiao Rongyan said slowly, rarely agreeing with Zhong Xingxiao, "If the queen mother is pushed out, then people in the world will not only say that our country of Yan is ungrateful, but also speculate on your majesty and the royal family. , it will be even more detrimental to Yan State!"
"If the Ai family really comes to Dazhou, it will become a hot potato in Bai Qingyan's hands!" The Empress Dowager Yan's chest heaved violently, and she had already started to think in her heart, and said whatever came to her mind, "If she kills the Ai family, it will definitely stir up trouble." The anger of the whole country of Yan, when Bai Qing said that he wants to fight Dayan again, the people of Yan country will rise up and resist!"
