Chapter 41 What is the intention? Dragon's reverse scale [You look up and see a woman standing out among the beautiful women.] [Someone tried to pull her gently, but she pushed him away firmly.] [She walked slowly and finally stood behind the Princess of Han.] 【You can now see this woman clearly.】 [Her figure is light and graceful, like a cloud emerging from a mountain. Her eyes and eyebrows reveal the gentleness and tenderness of a Jiangnan woman, as well as the aura of a beautiful and graceful woman.] 【Just standing there, you win. 】 [It makes all the beauties in the palace pale in comparison. ] [There was also a flash of surprise in your eyes. ] [She repeated it again, word for word.] [The sound is not loud, but it can be heard. ]

[“Daqing should not negotiate peace. Shao Bao should attack Huanglongfu directly.”] [Zhou Jinyu's eyes fell on your face, especially catching the surprise in your eyes.] [She turned back to look at the woman, her expression darkening even more.] [The Queen also looked unhappy.] [Behind the brocade curtain, among the noble sons, royal relatives, and the women. ] [Su Yue's face is full of worry!] [My cousin actually had a conflict with the Princess of Han in such a solemn occasion, which undoubtedly offended the noble Queen.] [Although my uncle is in a high position and has great power, I am afraid that my cousin will not be able to escape punishment. ] [My cousin has always been well-educated, gentle, and calm. Her actions today are really puzzling.] 【Su Yue was confused and didn't know why.】 [Is it worth it for the current land sinking? 】 [Zhou Jinyu looked down at the woman with a sharp gaze and said indifferently: "Who are you? How dare you discuss state affairs here?"] [The woman heard this and bowed respectfully, her voice as clear as an oriole’s chirping: “Your humble servant Xie Lingxuan greets the Grand Protector, the Princess.”] [You come back to your senses and say: "The title of Shao Bao has long become a thing of the past. There is no need to mention it again."] 【Miss Xie, Xie Lingxuan.】 [You remember that the Miss Xie mentioned in your mother's letter also has this name and was engaged to you.] [Sure enough, he is very handsome and has a good appearance. ] 【As soon as Xie Lingxuan's name came out. 】 [A flash of realization flashed across Zhou Jinyu's eyes. She was well versed in the families of the powerful in the capital, so she naturally knew Xie Lingxuan's background.]

[Her father is a very powerful person. He has been favored by the emperor in recent years. Even the second prince treats him with courtesy.] 【And Xie Lingxuan herself is a woman of great reputation in Kyoto, with outstanding talent and unparalleled beauty.】 [He lives a secluded life and rarely goes out. This is the first time she has seen him. It is indeed true. 】 [As Xie Lingxuan's name echoed in everyone's ears, even the Empress who had been sitting at the head of the table could not help but look at her with a little more scrutiny.] [If Zhou Jinyu encountered this kind of thing on weekdays, she would let it go for the sake of her father.] 【But today!】 [She saw the look of amazement on Lu Chen's face at Xie Lingxuan's beauty.] This is unprecedented. [Even when facing her, Lu Chen had never shown such an expression. ] [A fire started rising in her heart.] [Under everyone's attention, Zhou Jinyu's eyes were fixed on Xie Lingxuan. ] [Someone behind the scenes has already smoothed things over for the woman.] [The son of the prime minister stood up, bowed slightly, and said sincerely: "Princess, please forgive me. Lingxuan has been at home for a long time and has not been to the court. I spoke in vain."] [“Yes, Princess, Lingxuan is outspoken.”] Even the emperor's uncle, who was on good terms with the Xie family, spoke softly at this moment: "Lingxuan, why don't you quickly apologize to the princess?" [Although there is some blame in the words, it is more of tolerance and care for Xie Lingxuan. ] [“The princess is very generous and will not blame you.”] [This is just a temporary opinion, and many people are making excuses for her.] [Zhou Jinyu, the Princess of Beifeng, never looked away, quietly waiting for Xie Lingxuan's response.] [However, to everyone's surprise, Xie Lingxuan did not bow her head to apologize. ] [As she listened to more and more words, her eyes passed over the crowd and finally fell on you, containing complex emotions that were difficult to describe.] [When you gaze into her eyes, you wonder whether there is injustice and indignation in them.] 【Xie Lingxuan sighed slightly and thought to herself.】 [You have fought on the battlefield for ten years, recovered lost territory, but finally chose to retire to the mountains. Now you are being mocked. No one stands by you. Most people just watch and add insult to injury.] [And she, a woman, won the support of many people and defended her. ] [This sharp contrast made Xie Lingxuan feel uncomfortable.] 【You finally saw her eyes clearly. 】 [Her eyes showed sadness for you and injustice for you.] 【Xie Lingxuan stood there, her eyes firm: "Back then, Shao Bao reached Huanglongfu, and was only one step away from crushing Beifeng. Our country should not have negotiated for peace!"】

【When these words were spoken, the whole room was in uproar. 】 [Someone behind him couldn't help but scold: "Lingxuan, how can you talk nonsense like that!"] [“This is a matter of national importance. How can a woman make comments casually?”] [“Come back soon!”] [The Queen also stood up and looked at Xie Lingxuan.] [Su Yue's face was already pale. If she let her cousin continue talking, the consequences would be disastrous.] 【Zhou Jinyu chuckled: "Could it be that Miss Xie has doubts about your Majesty's decision in the past, or thinks that your Majesty is not wise enough?" [The words are light, but they are as sharp as a sword!] [The son of the prime minister hurriedly said: "Princess, please spare Lingxuan."] 【"princess,……"】 [The voice of pleading for mercy rises again. ] 【Xie Lingxuan said with some sorrow: "The country was lost, the emperor was hunted, how many people died in the north, how many people died in the chaos in Guanzhong that year, how many people were killed, how many people were displaced, how many families were broken up, how can twenty-six years of humiliation be resolved by a peace negotiation?"】 [“How many of the 100,000 Lu family soldiers died? Whose sons and husbands were they?”] [“The people are suffering, the officials are resentful, when will this be stopped?”] [“Isn’t it enough that the young guard retired back then?”] 【Xie Lingxuan, the gentle woman, bit her lip and said:】 [“Now, you still want to force him!”] [As soon as these words were spoken, the place fell into dead silence.] [The queen's phoenix eyes have opened, with a fierce light flashing in her pupils, and her face is terrifyingly gloomy.] [These words undoubtedly openly questioned your majesty's decision and were an accusation against many ministers in the court.] [No one dared to speak up for him anymore.] [Su Yue was terrified when she heard this. She had already covered her mouth. She was so nervous that she almost fainted. She kept repeating to herself, "What should I do now? What should I do..."] 【However, in this depressing atmosphere. 】 【Zhou Jinyu, the Han princess, clapped her hands and said with a smile: "Good, good, good."】 【"What a Miss Xie,"】 [“So you have such a brilliant opinion. Then I would like to ask you again, what is your real intention in saying that?”] [Her tone gradually became serious: "You keep talking about Shao Bao. Do you want Shao Bao to disobey your orders?"] [As soon as these words were spoken, some people in the field clenched their hands and looked grim.]

[These words are the reverse scale of the current emperor, no one can touch them. ] [A dragon's reverse scale, touching it means death. ] (End of this chapter)
