However, Minister Zuo Da, shook his head, still feeling puzzled.
“Although this Great Qi’s Princess Yaoguang is indeed Gu Yihan’s only daughter, thus naturally pampered and showered in praises as she grows up…
“But the commoners have never lived with the princess before. Even if they want to praise her, there won’t be so many people who say the same thing. They all say that she was sent by gods.
“I believe that this Princess Yaoguang must have extraordinary abilities. Otherwise, how could she make everyone in the Great Qi, from the emperor to the commoners, say the same?”
Ling Tianyin’s eyes darkened.
Zuo Da continued, “This subject has also heard that Princess Yaoguang was a daughter that the Great Qi’s ruler, Gu Yihan, who prayed to the heavens and made an exchange to get.
“The promise he made was that he would never kill the innocent again. His Majesty, why don’t you think about it? In recent years, isn’t it the case that no one has been calling Gu Yihan a tyrant anymore?”
Ling Tianyin narrowed his eyes.
That really seemed to be the case.
As Zuo Da spoke, he analyzed the situation in his mind.
“Since ancient times, it’s been difficult for everyone to shut up. If no one says anything, it might not be because they’re afraid of Gu Yihan. In the past, when he was ruthless, there were many people who were unafraid of death and criticized him.
“However, in recent years, not only have we not heard anyone scolding the emperor for being cruel and heartless, but our spies have even reported that a large number of scholars in the streets are praising Gu Yihan for being a wise ruler.
“They even opened a large canal that ran through the country and brought about even greater prosperity for the people. Your Majesty, Gu Yihan can’t be underestimated. His daughter is even more worthy of being taken seriously!”
Most of Ling Tianyin’s anger disappeared. He turned around and picked up the tea on the table to moisten his throat.
His cold eyes were filled with deep thought.
Of course Gu Yihan was his lifelong rival.
When Ling Tianyin and he were both princes, the two of them had actually fought before.
Between the Xili and Great Qi, there was a small country: Nanchao.
Back then, Gu Yihan personally led the troops and fought his way through Nanchao
Not only did the army approach the city, but the thousands of soldiers and horses also frightened the generals at the borders of the Xili Empire so much that they didn’t dare to fight.
Back then, Ling Tianyin was still a prince. He was ordered by his father to lead troops to support the borders with the intention of repelling Gu Yihan.
Unexpectedly, the two princes were evenly matched and could be said to be in a fierce battle.
The great battle lasted for nearly a year.
It was until Ling Tianyin was struck by a hidden arrow and had no choice but to retreat.
Gu Yihan had also run out of rations and could only return to his country.
After that, Xili and Great Qi also stopped fighting for a long time.
However, Ling Tianyin had always treated Gu Yihan as his only rival.
Ling Tianyin pondered for a moment and said slowly, “If I capture his precious daughter, Gu Yihan will definitely go crazy. Don’t you think so?”
Zuo Da cupped his hands. “Your Majesty is wise.”
Ling Tianyin sneered. “Send someone to kidnap Princess Yaoguang. I’m also very curious.
“What kind of lucky star is she to be unable to be killed by poison? Capture her and bring her to Xili at all costs!”
Zuo Da bowed and received the order. “Yes! This subject will make the arrangements now.”
Princess Yaoguang was still young now, so it was an easy time to catch her!
Not long after Zuo Da left, a eunuch outside preached, “Consort Lu is requesting for an audience.”
Ling Tianyin quickly put down his brush and quickly walked out.
A beautiful woman in peacock blue clothes and wearing a thin veil over her shoulders walked in leisurely.
Her black hair was as black as clouds and she had two unique jade hairpins.
Ling Tianyin had always doted on her. Even though there were the Empress and many consorts in the harem, he only doted on Consort Lu.
“It’s getting late. Why aren’t you sleeping?”
Consort Lu smiled. “Your Majesty has been busy with government affairs for a few days and hasn’t had a good rest for a long time. Your consort is worried about your health.
“Please put down the memorials tonight. Your consort will give you a massage to relieve your fatigue. How about that?”
