"I…"
Just as Ye Qing subconsciously stood up and was about to cup his hands in thanks, he was shocked again.
She saw that the edge of the narrow bed she was lying on was a embossed of a long dragon.
Clang!
A dull thud was heard.
The empress, who had been standing straight and looking out the window with her hands behind her back, was shocked.
When she turned around, her eyes widened.
Because in her eyes, she saw an old general curled up on the ground with one hand on his lower back and a painful expression on his face.
She immediately ran over and subconsciously wanted to help Ye Qing up.
"My dear minister, what are you doing?”
Wu Zetian's eyes were filled with tears as he said with a tone of heartache and slight blame.
Ha!
In the next moment, Wu Zetian shouted and fell to the ground.
This old bastard
She was so shocked that her eyes widened and her mouth opened wide. At the same time, she was cursing in her heart.
Just a moment ago, when she was about to help Ye Qing up, Ye Qing somehow found the strength to swing his shoulder.
The powerless empress was lying on the ground.
Ye Qing fell to the ground powerlessly.
At this moment, his brows were tightly furrowed. His arms were trembling as he tried his best to get up.
Wu Zetian wanted to help him again, but her hand froze when it was about to touch Ye Qing.
Because he saw the old general's extremely serious gaze.
"Don't touch me, I can get up by myself!”
Ahhh!
Ye Qing stood up with his right hand covering his lower back.
He limped to the chair beside him.
Wu Zetian looked at him lying on the chair with one hand and hammering her old waist with the other. Her heart ached and she wanted to laugh.
"Old thing, you pay more attention to the difference between men and women than Zhen.”
"It's as if I want to take advantage of him.”
Wu Zetian bit her lip and looked at Ye Qing, feeling displeased.
Finally, Ye Qing sat down.
Ye Qing paid great attention to etiquette and appearance.
He slowly tidied his clothes and even wiped his hair back with both hands to keep it in a neat bun.
A moment later, Ye Qing felt that his stamina had recovered quite a bit.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me for my recklessness!”
"I didn't do it on purpose. It was a subconscious resistance.”
"You…"
Wu Zetian, who was dressed in pink, placed one hand on her waist and pointed at Ye Qing with the other. She was so angry that her entire body was trembling.
Whoosh!
After taking a deep breath, Wu Zetian regained her calm.
She snorted coldly and said," My dear minister, you don't have to be so concerned. Other than the difference in status between a monarch and his subjects, there is also the friendship between monarch and his subjects!”
"Old beloved minister, you serve the country and the people. Now that you are sick, it is only right for me to help you.”
Ye Qing shook his head and said seriously,""Your Majesty, please forgive me for not agreeing!"
"If it was Emperor Taizong or Emperor Taizu, this subject would feel that it was very normal. Between monarch and subject, apart from the difference in status, there is also the friendship of friends!”
"Back then, Emperor Taizong personally led his troops on an expedition, and this subject even blocked a blade for him, so he carried this subject on his back for ten li.”
"But you're different!"
"Between you and me, there is only the distinction of monarch and subject. There is no friendship to speak of.”
Wu Zetian blinked her eyes and was so angry that her face kept fluctuating.
"Old Dong!"
He almost said the word 'West'.
"We've known each other for thirteen years. You even saved me back then. How can there be no friendship?" Wu Zetian frowned.”
"We've known each other for thirteen years. Including today, we've met eighteen times in total.”
"Including this time, His Majesty has received him five times in formal attire.”
"There are still thirteen sides, and ten of them are for me to attend the court to discuss politics.”
"The other three meetings were to save His Majesty, to enthrone His Majesty, and to set a ten-year pact the day after his enthronement.”
"I saved you because I felt sorry for you.”
Wu Zetian's eyebrows twisted when she heard this.
Was he old?
Remembering so clearly, old my ass!
Wu Zetian nodded her head fiercely, but she didn't say anything.
Humph!
She raised her proud head and said,"Alright, it's my fault."”
"Then you have contributed to the country. Why can't I help you?”
Wu Zetian was about to go crazy. She didn't care if he was terminally ill or not.
He had to apologize today!
"No!" Ye Qing continued sternly.”
"Other than being an emperor, you are also a woman.”
"I remember that I said at that time that a woman claiming to be an emperor was like going against the heavens.”
Wu Zetian turned around and gritted her teeth,"Zhen did it, Zhen didn't go back on his words, Zhen's achievements have already surpassed Taizong's!”
Ye Qing's lips curled up slightly." Alright, then I'll tell Your Majesty one more thing."”
"When a woman becomes an emperor, whether it is the imperial clan of the previous dynasty or the civil and military officials, they will all watch your words and actions.”
"The difference between men and women is especially important.”
"If you're not careful, others will make a big fuss and go down in history.”
"Your Majesty allowed me to sleep on the dragon couch to rest. I thank you!”
"However, this is not only ruining Your Majesty's reputation, but also ruining my reputation!”
"In the future, please think twice before doing anything, Your Majesty!”
Wu Zetian clutched her chest and took a few deep breaths.
She felt really wronged.
What kind of gift was this? Only he had such a gift.
She was actually scolded by him.
Wu Zetian couldn't help but suspect, was this a general?
This was simply Wei Zheng's brilliant disciple!
Wu Zetian clenched her fists and bit her red lips."It's just lunch break. I'm wearing thick clothes!”
"No, not even indirectly!”
"You…"
Without waiting for Wu Zetian to refute, Ye Qing continued,""Ordinary people can do it, but the empress who is at the center of the storm can't!”
"This subject is doing this for Your Majesty's own good."
"This subject is not saying this because of personal friendship, but for the good of the Great Tang's Emperor and the country.”
A moment later, the furious empress's blood circulation returned to normal.
She didn't want to see Ye Qing anymore. She just wanted him to get lost!
At the thought of this, the empress's furrowed brows relaxed.
The words 'get lost' in his heart had turned into 'go back and rest.'
She sat on the dragon throne for a while, took a memorial, and pretended to read it.
At the same time, she said coldly,""Alright, I appreciate that you have come to pay your respects to me for the sake of the ten-year agreement.”
"Zhen remembers your merits and grants you special permission to never worship Zhen.”
Then, she looked at Ye Qing and said seriously,""I accept the decree from the First Rank Flying Cavalry General, Duke of Guarding Country Ye Qing!”
Ye Qing leaned on the armrest of the chair and was about to get up.
Seeing this scene, Wu Zetian's eyes welled up with tears again.
"Beloved minister, you don't have to bow.”
Ye Qing also smiled in relief. He sat down and cupped his hands."Your subject has received the decree."
" My dear minister, you have made countless meritorious deeds in your life. I will grant you the title of King in the name of Chang 'an City. You will be granted the title of King of Chang' an, with 1,800 fiefdoms."
At this moment, Ye Qing frowned.
Was he going to retire?
At this moment, Ye Qing remembered his business.
If he wanted him to retire, why did he have to do that?
This was not to retire him, but to prevent him from eating the Recover Pill, to prevent him from concentrating on drawing for a long time, and to prevent him from completing his military designs!
"Your Majesty wants me to go home and wait for death, right?”
Ye Qing put down his hand, looked at the empress, and said coldly.
(Please support me, thank you)
