36. Wipe your face

As expected, by the time the man looked closely, the sixteen-year-old girl was already sobbing with tears.

How can these tears come and come?

Li Wuji's body stiffened, and he heard Xiao Hanyu choke up: "I knew that the emperor looked down on me, and he refused to send me even a guard......

"I didn't ......"

"It's not to blame the emperor, who made me from a bad background, in the eyes of others, not a decent princess?" Without waiting for Li Wujian to deny it, Xiao Hanyu, who was in tears, cut off his words by himself, "Your Majesty, what you said is right, people like me, staying in the palace, who will be bored and bad for me?" Even if I really die one day, my father will not shed a single tear for me. She said with a sad expression, and slowly stopped her tears, "When that time comes, the emperor will be like last time,

The more she spoke, the more it looked like the same thing, and the warm liquid burst out of her eyes cold. Seeing the woman hiding her face and crying, Jin Doudou seemed to be able to flow out of her fingers, and Li Wuzhi was almost at a loss.

In the past few months of acquaintance, she has hardly taken the initiative to talk about her past, and he never imagined that such a bright girl would hide such a deep sorrow in her heart.

Perhaps, for her, she will never know her own life experience, but she can live more freely and faster. Because, once her true identity is revealed, she will have to be taken back to the iron wall, subjected to the cold eyes of a group of concubines, and taste the heat and coldness of this world, and in the end, she will be treated as a chicken rib and sent to other countries to make peace.

How pitiful and helpless a victim of politics is, he has never experienced it himself, but he has finally seen it with his own eyes.

The pity in his heart spread, and the young emperor unconsciously twisted his eyebrows, and said a little uncomfortably: "I said, I don't look down on you at all. How many times do you have to say it before you can believe it? ā€

When the words fell, Xiao Hanyu hesitated and withdrew his hands that were covering his face, and looked at him with teary eyes, seeing that the man's heart softened.

"Okay, if you want Han Jue to be your guard, then let him be your guard."

Seeing that the other party was surprised, he opened his mouth again and added: "However, there must be a three-month inspection period, and if he is not qualified, I will have to be replaced." ā€

Substitution?

Xiao Hanyu didn't expect him to say this-originally, she was just sympathizing with him.

The girl was slightly stunned, but quickly covered the different colors under her eyes, lowered her eyes and "cried with joy": "Concubine on behalf of Brother Han, thank you to the emperor!" ā€

Oh, at this time, you know that you want to call yourself a "concubine"?

Looking at the tear-stained woman who raised her hand to wipe her moist cheeks, she pressed down the dispensable belly slander without a blade, and got up and walked in front of her. Soon, Xiao Hanyu unexpectedly saw a bright yellow handkerchief.

"Wipe your face."

When she raised her eyes, she saw Li Wujian standing in front of her with a handkerchief, Xiao Hanyu was involuntarily stunned, and then bowed her head to accept his kindness.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Hmm, so he's pretty good...... So...... She just pretended to deceive him for mercy, isn't it not very authentic?

wiped away his tears with the handkerchief handed by the king of a country, Xiao Hanyu was about to return it, but the stretched out soft wattle shrank back coldly.

Li Wujian raised his eyes to look at her, and asked what he meant with his eyes.

"I ...... I washed it for the emperor and returned it to the emperor. ā€

It was rare to hear her whisper in anticipation, as if she was still a little embarrassed, and hooked the corners of her lips without a trace, and acquiesced.

It's just that he didn't expect that the handkerchief, which should have been returned the next day, had not returned to his hands for a long time, so that he almost forgot about it, and only then did he see the handkerchief delivered by the woman in person and a brand-new sachet at the same time.

Li Wujian was a little stunned.

"It's ...... Thank you to the emperor...... "Xiao Hanyu saw that he was stupid and didn't move, and his originally frank demeanor couldn't help but be mixed with a little twist.

"Oh...... Concubine Yu has a heart. Fortunately, the man quickly came to his senses and accepted the object she handed him as usual.

In the past, when he was still the crown prince, it was not that there were no girls from the royal family who gave him these gadgets, but unfortunately, they were either forgotten by him in the corner of the horn, or he refused in person.

However, since she sent it, he should keep it.

Thinking about it like this, Li Wujian fanned his nose slightly.

"What kind of incense is this?" It smells pretty pleasant.

"It's elm latent incense, I heard that it has the effect of calming the nerves and helping you sleep."

Li Wudi's eyes flickered, and he met the eyes of the woman in front of him.

These days, he really can't sleep well, and when he is in the imperial study during the day, he wants to yawn at every turn, but she shouldn't know about these things.

I guess I just went the usual way.

Thinking like this, Li Wujian happily accepted the woman's thank you gift. Xiao Hanyu looked at him with no displeasure, and he didn't have the slightest intention of throwing away the sachet casually, so he couldn't help but show a bright smile in front of him.

You know, for this sachet, she went to the hospital, asked about his physical condition, asked which medicines and which incense were suitable for him, and went back to carefully consult Scarlet Xue on issues such as cloth color and spice ratio, and then tinkered with the candle flame all night!

Fortunately, her thoughts were not in vain, otherwise, she would never have made sachets for men in the future.

The idea of not being in the village and not being in the store came to his head, Xiao Hanyu stared at Li Wudao's eyes with a smile for a while, said "Then I'm leaving", and changed it to "The concubine has retired", and then ran away happily with the hem of her skirt.

Li Wujian took the handkerchief and sachet, looked at her happy back, and shook his head with a smile.

Within two days, there was a new face in the Jade Flute Palace. Han Jue changed into the outfit of a palace guard and appeared in front of Xiao Hanyu in high spirits. The woman teased him, saying that the ancients did not deceive me, if it is really a person who relies on clothes and horses and saddles, Brother Han's dress, the whole person is different.

"What's different?" Probably because his temperament is not humble or arrogant, funny and humorous, and he is willing to get acquainted with him as an equal, Han Jue always has a little less respect in his attitude when facing his new master, and the two of them talk more like ordinary friends, peaceful and casual.

Fortunately, Xiao Hanyu didn't mind this, so she replied with a smile: "Become handsome and chic, like a nobleman." ā€

Han Jue also smiled: "What does Niangniang mean that his subordinates were not handsome and chic before?" ā€

"You know I'm talking about 'more handsome, more chic.'"

A man and a woman both understood the teasing in each other's words, and then looked at each other and smiled. Lan Mozhi on the side stood without saying a word, with no joy or anger on his face.

However, because of his introverted temperament and the relationship between Granny Hu, he doesn't have a slight opinion about Han Jue, and others who don't know the inside story may not be able to do it. Although Xiao Hanyu treats most of the people below him as approachable, seeing that the young concubine is followed by two dignified young men all day long, and they talk and laugh with them from time to time, how can the palace people not discuss it in private?

In less than half a month, some rumors spread in the palace.

Eat a trench, grow a wisdom. This time, Li Wujian was not as negligent as last time, and the key point was that he couldn't realize it as hindsight as last time.

These palace maids and eunuchs are really getting bolder and bolder, could it be that the last time it was rumored that when the Jade Concubine killed the first emperor, he killed chickens and monkeys, but he didn't deter them?

Li Wujian was in a rather bad mood - it seemed that he was too kind to those people.

The king of a country is in a bad mood, and Zhao Youde, who has served him for many years, sees it in his eyes. He opened his mouth several times, and several times he wanted to say something to his master, but the words came to his mouth and swallowed back.

After all, as a minion, it is extremely inappropriate to talk about the affairs of the masters. But......

"If you have anything to say, mother-in-law, mother-in-law, what to do?" It wasn't until the overly obvious hesitation finally provoked Li Wuji's unhappiness that he was too busy to come back to his senses and kneel.

"Minions, minions are daring! Emperor...... Then, don't you care about the rumors about the Jade Concubine? The eunuch, who was also in his early twenties, stumbled, looking up at his master cautiously.

He found that the man's face was not very good-looking.

Unexpectedly, a moment later, he received such a reply: "I believe in the Jade Concubine." ā€

When Zhao Youde heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned on the spot, but after thinking about it, too, regardless of the fact that his master has never wronged people indiscriminately, just look at the way he gets along with the Jade Concubine Niangniang over the past few days......

He recalled the ten years before the girl entered the palace, and his master did not like the girl, but the only time he devoted himself to it, in exchange for a sad love.

Since then, the master has never approached any girl, and has only devoted himself to government affairs, assisting the first emperor and governing Shu in an orderly manner. For this reason, he didn't know how many times he persuaded his master openly and secretly, and the master was about to turn his face with him, so he didn't dare to bring up the old matter again.

A few years have passed, and Concubine Yu suddenly appeared, and things unexpectedly took a turn for the better. The master never took the initiative to accompany a woman to eat before, let alone take a walk with her, although there is still the little county lord of Xiangming in the middle...... But no matter what, the master finally has his own concubine and the desire to be close to women, how can he, a slave who has served the master for many years, not be happy for the master?

Therefore, there were such rumors, on the one hand, he couldn't help but complain about the big personality of the Jade Concubine, but on the other hand, he was also pleased with the master's trust in the Jade Concubine.

It's just that it's not good to hang like this.

"Then the emperor, are you going to see the Jade Concubine Niangniang and mention something?" Thinking of this, Zhao Youde had the courage to mention yƬ again.

Li Wujian glanced at him, and he immediately broke out in a cold sweat.

What's going on? Your Majesty, you should give me a letter......

"I sent someone to inquire about that Lan Mozhi, and I also heard Concubine Yu talk about her friendship with Han Jue. To her, the two of them were like brothers and friends, not what they thought. ā€

When Zhao Youde heard the news, he nodded thoughtfully.

Slowly, though, something seems to be wrong.

The young eunuch suddenly came back to his senses, raised his eyes to look at his master, and asked puzzledly: "Your Majesty, when did you ask people to check?" How did the minions not know? ā€

Li Wujian glanced at him calmly: "Why do I have to tell you for everything?" ā€

Suddenly felt an arrow in the chest, Zhao Youde hung his head and retreated to the side, gloomy and sad.
