"Boss!" Zhang Xiaotian kowtowed three times. "I know this request is too much, but only you can help me. Please help me!"
Seeing that he was about to break his head and wanted to kowtow again, Huarong hurriedly signaled Shuxiu to help him up. "It's just a corpse. Can't the emperor even collect a corpse?"
"Boss …" Zhang Xiaotian began to speak again but stopped.
"Say it all at once!" Huarong frowned. This Zhang Xiaotian, he didn't realize he was so indecisive before.
"Yes." He swallowed his saliva and reorganized his words. "The Dong Clan's crime involved the late Empress Dowager, the emperor's biological mother. I don't know the details, but the emperor couldn't tolerate it and insisted on killing the entire Yue Clan and Dong Clan."
"That's not right. My seventh sister-in-law is still alive." Huarong didn't want his seventh sister-in-law to die. He was just curious. The emperor didn't even let Dong San off. There was no reason for the emperor to let go of Yue Hanqing, who was virtuous, intelligent, beautiful, and hardworking.
Was it because he broke off with the Yue Clan?
Zhang Xiaotian and Lin Heqing shook their heads. "Boss …"
"Okay, you guys follow me and help me with my problems. I won't stand by and do nothing when you guys are in trouble. I, Gu Huarong, am not someone who doesn't care about his brothers. Don't worry, I'll find a chance to go to the palace and ask the emperor."
"Thank you, boss." Zhang Xiaotian wanted to kowtow again, but Huarong impatiently avoided him.
After they finished talking about Zhang Xiaotian, Lin Heqing finally found a chance to ask Huarong about his well-being. "Boss, next time you go to a banquet, let me know in advance. I'll ask my sister to protect you and see who dares to bully you. My sister alone isn't enough, I'll ask my cousins and aunts to protect you."
"Forget it. What if your sister, cousin, and aunts don't like me? You think I've led you astray? Wouldn't I be worse off? "Huarong rolled his eyes at him." Get out of here. You're disturbing my sleep. "
"Boss, I'm telling the truth. Please think about it." Lin Heqing, who had been mercilessly chased away by Shuxiu, refused to give up.
Huarong said lazily, "I know. I won't let you off if you keep howling."
After sending off the two people, Huarong did not return to Xiangtan Courtyard. Instead, she took a shortcut to her own Lan Yue Ge. Inside the room, the silver charcoal was burning brightly. She lamented that 'the wine and meat in the vermillion door stinks, while the frozen bones on the road' while enjoying her decadent life.
"What about my invincible generals?" Huarong asked Shuxiu.
"Brother Qing is keeping an eye on him personally, so he can't be mistreated. Didn't Miss not go to see him for a long time? Why do you suddenly ask? "Shuxiu was especially curious recently.
Huarong smiled mysteriously. "Send a message. Tell him that I want to see the emperor."
The emperor was not someone that could be met as and when one wanted to see him, there was a way.
The next morning, after the old emperor left court, a eunuch came to ask, "Emperor, Concubine Xian requests an audience."
The old emperor counted in his mind. It seemed that he had not seen his favorite concubine for a long time, so he said, "Summon her."
Concubine Xian was over forty years old, but she did not look old. Because she took good care of herself, she looked like she was in her early thirties. Her beautiful and soul-stirring face was aggressive and aggressive. However, she chose to wear very plain clothes, which added a sense of peace to her appearance.
"This concubine greets the emperor." Her actions and expression were very proper, giving people a feeling that she was not supposed to be like this.
The old emperor looked at her, his face and eyes full of smiles. He reached out to pull her. "I haven't seen you for a few days. You seem to have lost some weight. Did the servants not serve you well?"
"Your Majesty has been reviewing memorials for days. This concubine is worried about Your Majesty every day. It's inevitable that I can't eat. If Your Majesty wants this concubine to be better, then don't work so hard." Concubine Xian did not dare to let the emperor pull her. She only held the emperor's hand and stood up. The smile on her face was quiet and gentle.
Perhaps because he had seen it many times, he felt that it was normal. If Huarong was here, he would be able to tell at a glance that she had practiced this smile countless times. She had an aggressive and aggressive aura. Such a quiet and gentle smile should not have appeared on her face.
She should be charming and seductive.
Or maybe it was because he was old and his cultivation was different.
"How could I not want to worry less? But how could it be so simple?" The old emperor took Concubine Xian's hand and held it tightly, patting it heavily.
Concubine Xian smiled. "Your Majesty, that child, Wuyi, returned from his travels yesterday. As soon as he entered the palace, he said that he was unfilial. He said that he was not able to share his father's worries at his age and that he was not as useful as the sons of this official's family. It's that ordinary family, the Gu family. Your Majesty knows that the sixth son of the Gu family is about the same age as our Wuyi. He went out to sea to do business."
The old emperor's expression slowly turned cold. He let go of Concubine Xian's hand. "You mean to say that you want me to make my ninth son the Crown Prince?"
"Your Majesty, that child, Wuyi, has a wild personality. How could he be the Crown Prince? He just wants to share your worries. Which son in the world doesn't want to share his father's worries? "Concubine Xian said humbly.
The old emperor sat down and looked at Concubine Xian. His gaze was distant, as if he was looking at another person through her. However, there were only three people in the hall: him, Concubine Xian, and Wu Chenglu.
After a long time, he said, "Forget it. You can go back."
"Your Majesty …" Concubine Xian wanted to say something, but she saw Wu Chenglu shaking his head. She did not give up and turned to leave.
After Concubine Xian left, the old emperor smiled coldly. "Now that the Crown Prince is dead, everyone is eyeing the position of Crown Prince. Do you think I am a fool? How many people in the imperial court and the harem want to scheme against me and my throne?"
He angrily swept the tea set on the tea table to the ground. "They still remember that I am the Emperor!"
"Your Majesty, please calm down, calm down." Wu Chenglu did not dare to call anyone in. After he helped the old emperor calm down, he carefully went to pick up the broken porcelain pieces on the ground.
After the old emperor's anger subsided, he sat in his chair in a daze. Wu Chenglu thought for a long time and said carefully, "Your Majesty, I heard that the county princess of Minhui is going to rot from being locked up in your residence. Why don't you show mercy and let her out to get some fresh air?"
"I like to chat with this little girl. She understands me." The old emperor said, "Summon her to the palace."
Wu Chenglu did not dare to say anything, but in his heart, he thought, 'She has the potential to be a treacherous official! Fortunately, she is a woman. '
Huarong, who the old emperor regarded as a good friend, entered the palace two hours later. From afar, she ran to the emperor with an exquisite box. "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, this subject's daughter has brought you this subject's favorite General Wang!"
The old emperor looked at her. "General Wang is in a box?"
"Your Majesty, this is not an ordinary box. Look, this is sandalwood. The onyx inlaid on top is very expensive. The carving was done by the best craftsman. Just the box alone is worth a few hundred taels."
The old emperor's gloomy mood was slightly relieved by these simple words. He said angrily, "Is that what I meant?"
"Ah? Then what does Your Majesty mean? "Hua Rong's eyes were filled with confusion, and his childish face was filled with confusion." Then what do you mean? "
