Chapter 251 The Emperor has passed away!
"Report! Your Majesty, Miss Ruan Qingqing wants to see you!"
Murong Jinyang was stunned for a moment, then he was overjoyed. "Speak of the devil!"
"Please come in!" Murong Jinyang quickly sat up straight and said seriously.
At the same time, he also said to Eunuch Li: "The little girl is just ignorant. She even wanted to assassinate me before. Don't you think I'm so easy to assassinate? I just forgave them and didn't respond. Look, isn't she anxious? She hurriedly ran over from Mo Liang to beg me."
Eunuch Li quickly raised his smiling face, "That's right! What kind of person is our emperor?"
Just as they were chatting and laughing, Ruan Qingqing and others walked in together.
After the greeting, Murong Jinyang asked Ruan Qingqing why she came.
"I've sent high-yield seeds to His Majesty, hoping that he will give my family a chance to survive." Ruan Qingqing said as she asked Wushang to take off the cloth bag on his back, open it, and take it out to show the emperor.
"Is it a hybrid seed?" Murong Jinyang asked, suppressing his inner excitement.
"Your Majesty may as well check it out yourself!" Ruan Qingqing took out a handful herself and moved closer to show it to the emperor.
"How dare you! Who allowed you to get so close to the emperor?" Eunuch Li shouted hurriedly when he saw it.
"It doesn't matter!" Murong Jinyang waved his hand, "What's the difference between hybrid seeds and ordinary seeds?"
"Basically there is no difference. The only difference is that the hybrid seeds are fuller and more uniform in size." Seeing this, Ruan Qingqing had to go back to her original position.
"Would the Emperor like to review it personally?" she asked.
Murong Jinyang's eyes darkened, and he suddenly curled his lips and smiled, "Don't I still trust you, Ruan Qingqing? Eunuch Li, please accept it!"
Ruan Qingqing shrugged indifferently and handed the cloth bag of seeds to Eunuch Li. "Eunuch Li, won't you check it on behalf of the emperor?"
Eunuch Li turned around and glanced at the emperor. "Okay! Let's help the emperor take a look."
Seeing him pretending to look through the book with his hands, Ruan Qingqing couldn't help but smile meaningfully.
"Ruan Qingqing, you want to exchange a bag of hybrid seeds for the safety of your family. Are you still unwilling to come back? Will you continue to make wedding dresses for others?" Murong Jinyang asked with a frown.
"Your Majesty, I am used to freedom. Although I am very busy every day in Bale City, I feel very comfortable watching everyone gradually build from nothing to something, and from something to something better."
Murong Jinyang's heart skipped a beat. "Can't it be realized in Yunqing? Why do you have to leave your hometown and go to such a far place?"
Ruan Qingqing curled her lips slightly, revealing a cold smile that did not reach her eyes.
"In Bale, I have the final say in everything. I don't have to worry about being imprisoned in a city, nor do I have to worry about no one caring when something happens to my relatives."
"Isn't that for your own good? At that time, all the countries were eyeing Qingshui County, especially you. In order to protect you, did I send all my secret guards over there?"
"Since it's for me, then why didn't the emperor send people to rescue my father when he was captured in Jiangxia? You even ordered no one to rescue him. What's the logic behind this?" Ruan Qingqing asked.
"My father traveled back and forth between Lulin, Jianghuai, and Jiangxia, guiding the common people in sowing and management. Even if he had no merit, he had worked hard. As the emperor, what kind of mentality do you have to remain indifferent when your ministers were abducted by other countries?"
"How dare you! How dare you speak to the emperor like that?" Eunuch Li scolded from the side.
"Excuse me, Eunuch Li, how should I respond? The emperor is so unkind and yet he expects his subordinates to be loyal to him. How can this be justified?" Ruan Qingqing asked sharply.
"What kind of truth? Of course it's the truth of our ancestors!" Eunuch Li said righteously.
Ruan Qingqing looked at him for a while and then smiled.
"Did the ancestors teach the emperor not to care for his own ministers? Did the ancestors teach the emperor to swallow his anger and keep silent in the face of provocations from foreigners? Did the ancestors teach the emperor..."
"Enough!" the emperor suddenly shouted.
He stood up, put his hands behind his back and slowly walked towards Ruan Qingqing. "You are a girl, and you are teaching me how to do things? Hmm? How about you sit on the dragon throne up there?"
Ruan Qingqing raised her chin slightly and shook her finger at the emperor.
"I'm not interested in the throne! But can't you point out the inappropriate behavior of the emperor?"
"The censors will make corrections. It is not your turn as a girl to make comments!" Eunuch Li said confidently.
"But the victim is my father!" Ruan Qingqing's eyes gradually turned red. She curled her lips, "That's right, my father may be an insignificant tool to you, but to me he is a relative I cannot lose!"
"Also, what was the final result of the message we desperately sent out at Xiliang Pass? Soldiers from my own country wanted to kill someone with a borrowed knife, and they succeeded, and then they wanted to kill me. Now that you need me, you want me to come back and serve you. How can such a good thing happen?"
Ruan Qingqing said sarcastically.
"You're dreaming of redeeming your family with just such a small amount of seeds!" Murong Jinyang flicked his sleeves, put his hands behind his back, and strode towards the desk.
"Well, I'm sorry, the person sitting on the dragon throne should be changed!" Ruan Qingqing said coldly.
Murong Jinyang turned his head abruptly upon hearing this, "You haven't given up the idea of killing me yet!"
"An unkind king will bring disaster to the people! Compared with the death of countless people, your death is naturally much more cost-effective." Ruan Qingqing said seriously.
"You!" Murong Jinyang took a deep breath, then opened his eyes and sneered, "I want to see how you assassinate and escape from the palace?"
He sat down on the chair behind the imperial desk, a cruel smile on his face. "Someone come!"
As soon as the door of the imperial study opened, Ruan Qingqing and a few others rushed out at lightning speed, and disappeared from everyone's sight in just a few seconds.
"Catch them for me!" Murong Jinyang ordered with a ferocious look.
"Yes!" The imperial guards waiting outside the door rushed out to stop them, but they missed the opportunity. There was no trace of Ruan Qingqing and the others.
"Search, we must bring them back even if we have to dig deep into the ground!"
Murong Jinyang, who knew the situation, was so angry that his voice broke.
"puff!"
After Murong Jinyang suddenly spat out a large mouthful of blood, he began to stagger.
When Eunuch Li saw him spit out a large mouthful of blood, he was frightened and hurried forward to support him.
"Your Majesty, what on earth is wrong with you? Why are you vomiting blood?"
"I..." Murong Jinyang covered his chest with one hand and pointed outside with the other.
At this moment, the door of the imperial study was kicked open.
"How dare you, Eunuch Li, to murder the Emperor!"
Zhou Zheng and others stood at the door, staring at Eunuch Li with eager eyes.
Eunuch Li looked anxiously at the door and then at the emperor who was slumped in the chair, then he knelt on the ground, shaking like a sieve. "Your Majesty, please spare me! Your Majesty, please spare me! The emperor was fine just now, how could he, how could he..."
Zhou Zheng strode into the imperial study, came to the desk, took a look at the emperor's complexion, and then asked someone to find the imperial physician.
"The Emperor has passed away!"
