Lin Mengya was a little worried. His Majesty had suddenly changed his routine. For a moment, she was a little confused.
She wanted to comfort him, but she didn't know where to start.
Anyway, she was at a loss. She could only stand there and stare at her toes.
"Come, have a seat."
As if he had vented the dissatisfaction in his heart, the Emperor's attitude was completely different from the one he had a moment ago.
Immediately, a eunuch brought up a small stool. Lin Mengya thanked him and sat down beside him.
However, she still couldn't figure out the emperor's intention from his attitude.
"Do you think I'm being unreasonable?"
She couldn't answer his question.
"Uh … Your Majesty, you have your reasons. As your official, Gong Ya naturally has to follow your orders. "
The atmosphere became more and more strange. Why did she feel that the emperor seemed to be … throwing a tantrum?
"Now that you know you're my subject, did you treat me as your ruler when you were being aggressive just now?"
Lin Mengya was embarrassed.
Originally, the emperor gave her the impression that he was a serious and cold-faced ruler.
Now, who was the person who was so good at acting shamelessly?
"I dare not. I was just anxious. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
At that moment, the emperor's intention to kill her was real.
That was why she had risked her life.
No matter how the emperor reacted, she would never forget what had happened just now.
"I won't kill you for now. But it's not because of your relationship with Xi 'er. It's because you're smart and courageous. I have a use for you. "
His words were so straightforward that they were almost naked.
But inexplicably, it made her feel at ease.
"Your Majesty, I'll do my best to fulfill your orders."
The emperor looked at her, and a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes.
"I hope you can help my nephew to stabilize the state of Wei!"
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"Don't promise me yet. I hope you can promise me one more thing."
A sense of uneasiness welled up in her heart. The Emperor hesitated for a moment before speaking.
"I hope that you can promise me that you will never enter the harem of Wei Country!"
"Thump." Lin Mengya was so shocked that she forgot about the difference between the emperor and the minister. She suddenly raised her head and looked at the emperor.
"Your Majesty, this is —"
This time, the Emperor did not show a cold expression.
There was a hint of helplessness between his eyebrows. Sorrow shrouded his eyes.
"You think my request is very rude, don't you?"
How was that just rude?
Anger surged in her heart. The emperor's meaning was very clear.
It was obvious that he wanted to use her. What was the meaning of this? Shouldn't he give her the position of Empress, and then secretly persuade Long Tianyu to marry her?
Right now, he wasn't even trying to fool her anymore. Did he take her for a fool?
She couldn't understand what was going on.
"I wouldn't dare."
"Gong Ya, I used to be young, and I used to be ambitious, and I used to —"
His eyes suddenly darkened. His deep voice contained a hint of bitterness that she was familiar with.
"I've also had a romantic relationship with a woman. But I'm the emperor, and I'm concerned about the world. I have no choice between betraying her or betraying the world. "
Lin Mengya's good impression of the emperor disappeared in an instant.
A jerk was a jerk. Even if he had to make a choice, shouldn't he choose a plan that would satisfy both sides?
When the country was subjugated, he would say that beauty would harm the country.
But it was men who were obsessed with beauty. What did it have to do with beauty?
It seemed that all men throughout the ages had the same reason.
"Your Majesty, I don't want to marry the Crown Prince. As long as you let me go, I'll leave immediately. "
"Gong Ya, you know that I'm not talking about the Crown Prince!"
There was a hint of impatience in the emperor's tone.
Lin Mengya took a deep breath and raised her head to look at the emperor.
"You called me here to test me. You found that I'm a tough nut to crack, so you want to move me with love. Could it be that you want me to feel that every word of yours is like a gem and feel ashamed of my inferiority, so that I will become the most loyal sword in your hand and help you protect David's empire, right? "
The emperor was not used to being talked to like this by a junior.
But he did not want to fall out with her, so he could only speak patiently.
"I just don't want you to join the imperial harem. You're already the master of the Gong Family and have a high status. If you join the imperial harem, the power of the Gong Family will inevitably be greater. At that time, all your hard work will be in vain. "
Seeing that she did not speak, the emperor began to persuade her patiently.
"Although you're not in the imperial harem, you're still in love with Xi 'er. You just don't have the reputation, but you'll still have a high status if you're by her side. Isn't that enough? "
Lin Mengya sneered in her heart when she saw the emperor's considerate look.
"Then, Your Majesty, can you tell me why your lover left you back then? Just like you said, she's just missing the position of the Empress, that's all. If they were in love, why would they care about the reputation? "
Her words were like a sharp sword, piercing straight into the emperor's heart.
The emperor's expression changed and his eyes turned cold.
"Gong Ya! Do you know what you're talking about? "
"Your Majesty, of course I know! You think it's noble and rare for you to sacrifice your beloved for the country and the world. Unfortunately, all the women in the world don't know how to appreciate your kindness! "
His Majesty's face turned ugly.
He slammed the desk heavily. In an instant, more than ten imperial guards rushed into the room.
"Aren't you afraid that I'll kill you for contradicting me?"
Lin Mengya curled up her lips and smiled casually.
They had a tacit understanding before. That woman from the Gong Family was really decisive when she left the emperor.
"Your Majesty, if you want to kill me, just do it. But it doesn't matter if you kill Gong Ya. If I die, your position and the country will be buried with me! "
She stood proudly and no longer restrained herself. She was like a peerless sword, shining with dazzling light.
The emperor's face turned pale. He did not expect that all the women from the Gong Family were like this.
Why was she so stubborn? She would rather die in glory than live in dishonor, always forcing him to kill her!
"I'm going to ask you one last time. Do you agree or not?"
She smiled and slowly walked to the side of His Majesty the King.
"Your Majesty, your idea is not bad. But I have something to remind you."
"Speak."
The Emperor's gaze was fixed on her.
Lin Mengya lowered her voice so that only the two of them could hear her.
"Your Majesty, do you really think that you can deceive everyone by deceiving them? You know, I am a pawn in the game of chess. Therefore, even if you have to threaten and entice me, you still want to hold me tightly in your hands. But do you think that I dared to come here alone without any deployment? "
The emperor looked at her. She was smiling sweetly, but there was no fear in her eyes.
He could not help but feel a chill in his heart.
It was because the Empress had suddenly brought her to the palace that he took advantage of the situation.
"Do you think I'm afraid of your threat?"
"Of course not, Your Majesty. But if you kill me, the royal family of Wei State will be buried with me."
The emperor did not quite understand what she meant. At this moment, the eunuch outside the door suddenly rushed in.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager has an urgent matter and wants to see you!"
"What is she doing here?"
Unexpectedly, the Empress Dowager had barged in with her men before the emperor could give the order.
However, after seeing that she was safe and sound, the frown on the Empress Dowager's face eased a little.
Then, she turned to her husband.
"Your Majesty, no matter what Gong Ya has done wrong, please forgive her on account of the fact that she saved you in the past."
The Empress Dowager's voice was not soft. She seemed to be afraid that the emperor would not agree, so she deliberately told everyone that Gong Ya had saved them in the past.
The emperor's expression became more and more unpleasant.
But now, he really could not do anything to her.
"Did the Empress Dowager come here just to plead for mercy for Gong Ya? She disobeyed me, so why can't I punish her? "
It was obvious that the Emperor was determined to kill her.
She understood this point.
As a chess piece, it was normal for her to be killed if she was not sensible.
Unfortunately, she was a chess piece, and it was not that easy to manipulate her.
"She can be punished, Your Majesty. But Your Majesty, please calm down and let me punish her. She's a young lady, and I'm afraid she can't bear the punishment. "
The emperor frowned. He did not understand why the Empress Dowager was so protective of Gong Ya.
"What if I have to kill her?"
The Empress Dowager looked at the emperor. After a moment of hesitation, she gritted her teeth and knelt in front of him.
"Your Majesty, please put the country first. Gong Ya can't be killed! "
She stood there and watched the confrontation between the husband and wife. She felt that it was extremely ridiculous.
They were the closest husband and wife. She had seen how the Empress Dowager treated the emperor.
She had secretly envied them for supporting each other and going through thick and thin together.
But now, it seemed that nothing was more important than profit.
She got up and walked out of the door without hesitation.
"Gong Ya, where are you going?"
The emperor's angry question came from behind her.
Lin Mengya turned around and glanced at the Emperor, then at the Empress.
"Your Majesty, Her Highness, I don't have the patience to put on a show with you again and again."
The emperor and the Empress looked uncertain. They did not expect her to take such an attitude.
"You all want to get your hands on the country and become the most powerful people. Gong Ya will just say it."
"If you want this position, exchange it with Murong Xi. This country is my betrothal gift to you. "
Her tone was relaxed and her lips curled into a smile.
"Gong Ya, what makes you think that you can influence the country?"
The emperor had calmed down.
Gong Ya's behavior made him reconsider this matter.
