If she married into the palace of Xuanwang in the future, with Meng Yuan's birth, he would inevitably have to deal with members of the royal family.

There were too many royal rules, and the palace was most like to give death sentence or condemnation at any time, so it was better to ask for an exemption order to avoid certain death, and it would be better in the future.

Thinking of this, she walked out of the column in a hurry, knelt down to his Highness and said to Emperor Ming: "This minister's daughter dare not take credit. It was all down to luck in solving this case. In the final ways of the heavens, it is still up to the emperor to see things clearly, and to bring blessings of the sky."

Asking for a reward from the emperor could never be taken for granted. Naturally, it was necessary to pretend to be polite first.

"You can be polite and still talk with your own mouth. Well, don't take me for granted. If you want a reward, say it now." Emperor Ming pretended to scold her, but he smiled. The girl was very wise with her words. No one would refuse to listen to such good words, especially for the king of a dynasty.

It would be hypocritical to refuse any further. Zhao Ling closed her eyes when she saw the king's smile, deliberately pondered for a while, and said, "It's not that your servant girl didn't want to ask for anything. It's just that when she was a child, she heard the tales and sang the songs of those who held the exemption order, the royal golden token to avoid death. So this servant girl dared to think about it. If it's possible, I ask the emperor to give this daughter a royal golden token to spare her from death. This all this servant's wish."

After Zhao Ling's clear and gentle voice fell, the Harmony Hall was silent for a period of time.

After a while, Meng Tianluo's slightly gloomy voice sounded. "Hmph, Miss Zhao really knows how to figure things out, and she actually made a way out for herself so early. But if you want a gold medal to avoid death, is it because you want to do something that can lead to death in the future?"

If it were someone else who heard Meng Tianluo's words, the person would definitely collapse from fright.

However, Zhao Ling was not affected by Meng Tianluo at all, her tone was still gentle, but her words were powerful. "His Royal Highness Luo don't understand. The minister's daughter is asking for the golden token to avoid death simply to satisfy her childhood dreams, and have no intention of causing any future death. I also ask the emperor for a clear lesson."

This Meng Tianluo really couldn't spit out ivory from a dog's mouth, and was against her everywhere. Zhao Ling cursed inwardly. But as long as the old emperor believed in her, Meng Tianluo couldn't do anything about it.

"Ms. Zhao, do you know the preciousness of this dynasty's death-saving gold token?" Meng Tianjue, who Zhao Ling pictured as white jade with suet, asked casually.

Could it be that the death-free gold medal of the Dasheng Dynasty was particularly precious? Zhao Ling really didn't know, so she had to pretend to be humble and replied: "The minister's daughter has little knowledge, so please I ask His Royal Highness to express it."

"Humph." Meng Tianluo snorted coldly again, "Miss Zhao, why do you have to be so pretentious? Do you think that this death-free gold medal is just a casual grab? Do you think your father will give it to you easily? There has always been only one gold medal, and this gold medal will be invalid if you use it once. Do you even know that?"

That being said, it was indeed very valuable. It seemed that he made an unrealistic request. Zhao Ling still knelt on the ground and turned to Emperor Ming to plead guilty. "The minister's daughter is really stupid for not knowing the special feature of the court's golden token, please forgive me."

So, she didn't know if she still wanted to receive the royal golden token just now, so they could all pretend it never happened.

Emperor Ming was silent for a while, as if he had made a big decision, and said to Eunuch Li, who was waiting on the side, "Please give me a golden token."

So, Emperor Ming actually agreed?

Hearing this, everyone present was shocked and looked at Emperor Ming. Meng Tianluo had a look of jealousy and hatred, Meng Tianjue was dark and inexplicable, Meng Tianyan and Lu Ziqing were both surprised. Only Meng Tianlin had an overjoyed smile on his face.

Emperor Ming's move was also beyond Zhao Ling's expectations. Originally, she just hoped that Emperor Ming, for the sake of saving him twice, would not blame her for asking for a golden token. Who would have thought that he would really agree to her request and really reward her with the death-saving golden token.

After a while, Eunuch Li came out with a tray in his hand. On the tray was a white jade box with exquisite workmanship. Inside the box was the unique death-free gold medal of Dasheng Dynasty.

Eunuch Li respectfully presented it to Emperor Ming. The emperor opened the white jade box, and inside it was a golden token. After he glanced at it, he motioned for Eunuch Li to give the gold medal to Zhao Ling.

"Shen family girl, you have been successful in rescuing the palace twice. It is not an exaggeration for me to reward you. Although this death-free gold carving is precious, it is only a dead thing in my place. Since this is the case, I will now reward it to you. I hope you can make good use of it."

Emperor Ming actually agreed!

Holding this heavy gold medallion, Zhao Ling had an unreal feeling. Such a precious thing, Emperor Ming gave it to her so generously. It seemed that this old emperor was quite generous, and she did not waste her life to save him twice, and he was almost killed by Lou Xinyue. 

However, she was indifferent by nature, and was used to being unremarkable in her emotions and anger. She was only excited for a moment, and then she returned to normal. She knelt down calmly, and thanked Emperor Ming neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"The minister's daughter thank the emperor."

Seeing Zhao Ling's calm and indifferent temperament, Emperor Ming somewhat admired it, and his tone was even more gentle. "Now, we're even,  Girl Zhao." 

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Congratulations to Sister Zhao for acquiring the gold medallion! Sister Zhao, can you let Tianlin see what the golden token looks like?" Meng Tianlin came up to Zhao Ling again with a wide-eyed smile, wanting to grab Zhao Ling's hand and take a look at the item that the emperor had been hiding for a long time. The mysterious golden medallion.

The wobbly Zhao Ling quickly steadied herself. She had been kneeling down for a long time, making her legs feel weak. Moreover, Meng Tianlin was born with divine power, his presence was enough to make an average human fall backwards uncontrollably.

Phew! Zhao Ling sighed in her heart. It seemed that this was an embarrassment.. Alas, this Meng Tianlin was a thorn in her flesh.
