Suppressing his nervousness and slight helplessness, he slowly said:
"I will give Your Highness an explanation for what happened today. I beg Your Highness to be merciful and spare the people of Qi."
Li Chengqian lifted the carriage curtain.
Sean had already quickly arranged the car seats like a lackey.
Although Sean knew he had latched onto a powerful patron on the day of Kuhe's defeat,
But today's scene made him truly realize just how thick that leg really was.
At that moment, he recalled the words Chen Pingping had said when he left the Supervisory Commission.
The times have changed.
Today, watching the Northern Qi emperor approach so respectfully,
He then came to understand the deeper meaning of those words.
Wolf Peach, who was following beside the carriage, twitched at the corner of her eye when she saw this scene.
It seems that ever since Sean's escape and subsequent capture by Li Chengqian,
His attitude underwent a complete change.
At this moment, Lang Tao had no idea that Sean had already sided with Li Chengqian.
After all, Sean had been captured for over a decade without surrendering.
Although many people in Northern Qi wanted to kill him, no one thought that Xiao En would actually defect to Southern Qing.
Li Chengqian glanced at Sean indifferently, said nothing, and got off the carriage.
He sized up the young emperor of Northern Qi.
His gaze lightly swept over her throat and some sensitive areas.
On the surface, the man possesses all the characteristics one would expect.
This method of disguise is quite remarkable.
However, with his keen eyesight, he could naturally tell that...
To be able to fake it to this extent, Zhan Doudou must have suffered quite a bit.
Zhan Doudou became increasingly nervous at this moment.
In her eyes, Li Chengqian's gaze was as sharp as a knife.
At this moment, although she was in the capital and possessed the extremely noble status of an emperor,
But it's more like a lamb to the slaughter, with absolutely no sense of security.
She swallowed hard and said, "If Your Highness has any further requests, please feel free to make them. I will do my best to fulfill them."
Li Chengqian slowly walked up to Zhan Doudou.
He looked down at her with a slightly condescending air.
Zhan Doudou immediately felt an indescribable and terrifying aura, which made her gasp for breath.
Li Chengqian asked with a half-smile, "Any request is acceptable?"
Zhan Doudou forced a smile and said, "Within the capital, I still have some influence."
Li Chengqian stared at her intently for a few seconds, causing Zhan Doudou to break out in a cold sweat.
She always felt that under that gaze,
All her secrets seemed to have been laid bare, completely exposed.
After a moment, Li Chengqian smiled slightly and said, "I wonder if I would have the honor of having Your Majesty drive the carriage?"
Upon hearing this, Sean, who was not far away, was slightly taken aback.
Is he about to lose his job as a groom?
Zhan Doudou was also taken aback. Was she going to make me her groom?
As the emperor of Northern Qi
Although she wasn't exactly the absolute ruler, she was certainly pampered and grew up being flattered by countless people.
Where have you ever done such a lowly job?
She instinctively felt some resistance.
However, in just a moment, she realized a reality.
Although she was the emperor of Northern Qi, she had no power to refuse this simple request.
A fleeting look of sadness crossed her clear eyes.
The emperor of Northern Qi drove the chariot for the crown prince of an enemy state.
This is probably the first time ever.
I have set a precedent.
She smiled bitterly to herself, but her face remained remarkably calm.
Over the years, she has sat high in the golden palace, and putting aside everything else, her ability to remain calm even when Mount Tai collapses before her is truly masterful.
At this moment, maintaining sufficient calm may be her last act of defiance as the Empress of Northern Qi.
Under Li Chengqian's piercing gaze, her slightly pale lips moved slightly.
"it is good."
Li Chengqian's expression remained calm. "Your Majesty seems somewhat unwilling?"
Zhan Doudou raised the corners of her mouth, revealing a relatively gentle smile, "How could that be? It is my honor to drive for a Grandmaster."
Given her status as a Grandmaster, it would be perfectly reasonable for Ku He to drive the car herself, even if she were the one in charge.
At least that's how it is.
It was not the King of Qi driving the chariot for the Crown Prince of Qing, but rather the King of Qi driving the chariot for the Grand Master.
Anything sounds better.
Li Chengqian did not expose Zhan Doudou's little scheme.
Ultimately, Zhan Doudou, the emperor of Northern Qi, was just a young girl, not even twenty years old, in version 1.0.
What if we go too far in bullying them?
It would be difficult to handle the situation if the emperor were to cry in the street.
He turned and went back to the carriage.
Then, the giant sword that had been hanging in the sky transformed back into countless scattered weapons.
It poured down as if a torrential rain had fallen.
Along the entire street, countless civilians found their weapons lying beside them.
With a whoosh, it disappeared into the ground.
That chilling and terrifying sword intent has vanished.
However, not a single person on the entire street got up.
The weapons around him seemed like a blatant warning and threat.
Fear and terror gripped their minds, leaving them weak all over; some even lost control of their bladders in fear.
When Zhan Doudou saw the giant sword dissipate, she breathed a sigh of relief.
Now that things have come to this, she has no other choice.
They had no choice but to get into the carriage.
Chapter 116 Zhan Doudou panicked: Si Lili is poisoned? Your Highness, please let me explain!
Zhan Doudou got into the carriage and sat outside the carriage.
He picked up the reins and whip, just like the palace grooms.
However, for a moment, I didn't know how to start.
see,
Sean thoughtfully gave a few simple instructions.
Although he had lost his job as a groom, he was in a mood of unprecedented joy.
Seeing the Northern Qi emperor working as a groom, he could already foresee his future glory in Northern Qi.
Zhan Doudou glanced at the former commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard.
Suddenly, something occurred to me: Where is Shen Zhong?
Logically speaking, Shen Zhong should have accompanied the Qing Kingdom delegation all the way here.
But at this moment, she couldn't find Shen Zhong's figure at all.
However, she didn't think much of it at the moment.
Holding the riding crop in her hand, she lashed it sharply, just as Sean had instructed.
The carriage started moving instantly.
And it wasn't until quite some time after the carriage had left that...
Only then did the people of Qi on this street get up one by one.
Suddenly, a voice rang out from among them.
"This Crown Prince of Qing has made our Emperor a groom! This is an utter disgrace! We must take revenge and pay for this debt in blood!"
However, apart from a handful of people, he received no response.
It was the rather indifferent gaze of the common people and officials of Northern Qi.
Even a fool should learn his lesson after being slapped twice.
Besides, they're not really fools.
