Chapter 32 The Empress begs Ye Qing for forgiveness, Qin Ru deserves death! Although this roar did not have the arrogance of a powerful being in the Ascended Realm, it was full of the majesty of a king. Everyone looked at him at the same time and couldn't help but gasp. A mysterious bird in the state of transformation, flapping its colorful wings, flew over from afar. The one standing on the back of the black bird was none other than the Empress of Great Qi, Qu Qingyan! "Her Majesty, who never leaves the palace easily, is actually here in person?" "It's fun, it's fun!" "The commotion is getting louder and louder, even Her Majesty the Empress has come out in person!" Under the shocked gazes of the crowd, Qu Qingyan came to the center of the crowd, jumped from behind the black bird, and landed steadily. Looking at Yaoyue in front of him, he said calmly, "Elder Yaoyue, I am deeply moved that you, the people from Yaochi Holy Land, are here to help us mediate family affairs in Daqi." "But today's farce should end here."
Yaoyue did not respond, but looked at Ye Qing with a meaningful look. After all, she came here today and offered the transparent mirror to repay her predecessors. As for the Queen of Great Qi, they, the Holy Land of Yao Chi, are not afraid of her at all. "Your Majesty, I didn't expect that such a small incident involving my daughter would alarm you enough to come to the scene in person." Ye Qing smiled faintly and said, "But, Your Majesty, I have a question for you to answer." "Why did Your Majesty show up at this moment to stop us, instead of showing up earlier or later?" The crowd watching suddenly understood. Yup! If you didn't want outsiders to interfere in the affairs of the Great Qi, why didn't you show up just now? As soon as your image appeared on the video, you immediately came out to stop it. Doesn't this further prove that there is something fishy going on? Qu Qingyan's expression changed slightly, and she said coldly, "Ye Qing, I admit that I misjudged your strength before, which led to this unpleasant incident today." "If you are willing to stop here, I can pretend that everything that happened before never happened." "Oh?" Ye Qing showed interest, "What did Her Majesty mean by before?" Qu Qingyan had already thought it through, and said decisively: "I will immediately order the Ministry of Internal Affairs to pay out the salary and cultivation resources that have been withheld from your Ye family over the years." "And from now on, the monthly resources will be doubled compared to before, and we guarantee that not a single cent will be lost." "In addition, your daughter Ye Ling'er will be the chief disciple of the White Deer Academy in the future and will receive the best training and educational resources." "And you, from now on, will be the Grand Marshal of the Great Qi Dynasty, your status is higher than that of the three ancestors, and all the soldiers and monks of the Great Qi Dynasty will obey your orders." "With your strength, and with the help of the royal family, you will be able to restore the glory of the Ye family."
As she spoke, Qu Qingyan extended her hand to Ye Qing and gave a kind smile. "King Xiaoyao, please stop. Let's pretend nothing happened and start over again, you and I, master and subject. How about that?" The conditions proposed by Qu Qingyan are definitely full of sincerity. Except for the fact that the population is still small, the Ye family has almost been promoted back to its peak status. Everyone thought that Ye Qing would definitely agree to this kind of reconciliation which had only benefits and no harm. However, Ye Qing simply ignored the hand that Qu Qingyan extended to him and said indifferently, "Not very good." Qu Qingyan's smile froze, "What did you say?" "King Xiaoyao, your Ye family is full of loyal and brave people, and they are heroes and meritorious service to the Great Qi. You must not be confused." "Your Majesty, forgive me for being blunt, but the treatment you mentioned should have belonged to my Ye family." Ye Qing stood with his arms folded, and said calmly, "But today, you took out these things that were taken away from our Ye family, intending to reconcile with me." "May I ask, when my daughter was framed, why didn't you consider the loyalty of the Ye family and stand up for justice for my daughter?" "If I hadn't demonstrated my strength in the Ascension Realm today, would Her Majesty the Empress come down from her high and mighty throne and speak to me in such an equal manner?" Ye Qing's words left Qu Qingyan speechless, with a strong rage revealed in her beautiful eyes. "So, King Xiaoyao is not going to accept my reconciliation?" "Yes." Ye Qing smiled faintly and nodded: "The royal family of Daqi is not worthy of the service of my Ye family." Seeing that Ye Qing refused to give in and was confronting Qu Qingyan, everyone couldn't help but start talking. "Well, why do I feel that King Xiaoyao is going a bit too far?" "Today's incident is all the fault of that old villain Qin Ru, and has nothing to do with Her Majesty the Empress." "Her Majesty has already humbled herself so much, why is he still not giving in?" Seeing Ye Qing's attitude towards Qu Qingyan, Yaoyue instantly understood what to do. Without hesitation, she poured her spiritual power into the transparent mirror again. The scene that was just paused on the light screen continued to play. Everyone stopped talking and sighing instantly, closed their mouths, held their breath, and listened to the conversation between Qu Qingyan and Qin Ru. At first, the two of them only talked about some very ordinary state affairs. Suddenly, everyone clearly saw Qin Ru winking at Qu Qingyan. Qu Qingyan understood immediately and ordered the waitress Liu Zhu and other maids to leave. When they were the only two left, Qin Ru spoke up, "Your Majesty, the southwest of Da Qi has recently suffered a natural disaster. There has been a severe drought for three years and no harvest." "Local officials were no longer able to support themselves and wrote to the court four times to request relief grain."
"I, an old minister, really cannot suppress this matter, so I come to ask for your Majesty's opinion." Qu Qingyan asked calmly, "What do you think?" "The demon tribe has been invading frequently recently. The imperial court's food and gold should be used to recruit brave soldiers and train strong young men." Qin Ru said cryptically, "As for the refugees in the southwest, hundreds of thousands have died." "Even if another million or so people died, there wouldn't be any trouble." Qu Qingyan thought for a moment and nodded slightly. "Okay, let's do as you say." …… Qu Qingyan's nod instantly caused the whole audience to go wild. "The disaster in the southwest is so severe that refugees have fled to the Imperial City." "They are using such high-sounding excuses to hold back people's disaster relief grain." "Tell me, was the money used to recruit soldiers or did it go into the private pocket of Prime Minister Qin?!" "Even if another million or so people died, there wouldn't be any trouble... Is this even human language?" "You are a man who reads books of sages, yet you treat human life as worthless." "Qin Ru, you deserve to die!" Qin Ru collapsed to the ground with a thud, almost drowned by the crowd's saliva. But this time, he was not the only one being criticized. "Hey, everyone, don't just curse Prime Minister Qin." "If His Majesty hadn't given the nod, how could he have the guts to covet even the disaster relief grain?" "It is our Majesty who treats the lives of our people as worthless!" (End of this chapter)
