People went to the empty hall, and seeing that it was convenient to speak in the Chaoyang Hall at this moment, Zhao Yan's eyes were sharp, and he sternly scolded Zhu Xishi, who was kneeling on the ground.

"The ability is not small, even my queen was moved by you. I thought you were just a weak woman, but I'll see you today, but I really underestimated you. Why, the Rongwang Mansion that dislikes the eighth brother is too small to provide for your big Buddha, so he changed his mind to wander around the palace? Tell me, what is the purpose of your efforts to come to see me?! ”

Half-threatening and half-intimidating, he probed the way forward, but he didn't see any movement on people. When Zhao Yan looked at Zhu Xi who was kneeling on the ground at this time, he wondered in his heart, really wondering what was hidden behind her humility.

Now for Zhao Yan, this Zhu Xi cannot simply be summed up with "curiosity".

The regal is on top, saying that he is not afraid that it is all a liar. Stabilizing his somewhat flustered heart, Zhu Xishi, whose face was close to the marble stone surface, pursed his slightly dry lips and responded in an orderly manner.

"Return to the Emperor. Do you remember what you said to the slave maid that night in King Rong's mansion? This time, the slave maid followed the queen to the Chaoyang Palace, just to fulfill the promise she made to the emperor. ”

It is undeniable that Zhu Xishi's words stirred up thousands of waves in Zhao Yan's heart. That night, she went to King Rong's Mansion to visit Xie Wei, but it was just a test of how sincere she was to solve her worries, and casually proposed that Zhu Xishi marry Dajin.

But when she looked at Zhu Xi who was kneeling in front of her at this time, she seemed to take it seriously.

In all fairness, if others encounter such a disaster, it will be too late to hide, but instead of retreating, she took the initiative to come to the door to fulfill her original promise, which really makes people wonder what she was thinking.

With an open heart or an ice heart, Zhao Yan quietly observed Zhu Xishi for a moment. A solemn reminder to her.

"It's a great deed, but you have to think about it. This is no joke. ”

The slave thought clearly. In order to show her determination, she has implored the queen to accept the slaves and maids into the palace slave registration yesterday. Just wait for the emperor's golden words. ”

"This!!"

finally understood what Zhu Xishi's mouthful of "slaves" meant, giving up his freedom to enter the palace as a slave, with this determination alone, it is absolutely impossible for people to do it. Although Zhao Yan didn't say anything in his mouth, it could be seen from his burning eyes that Zhu Xishi, who stepped forward in front of him, was indeed amazed by him.

Princess Xie Wu went out of the palace to practice, and she was able to harvest Zhu Xishi's sincere heart, I don't know if it was the girl who saw that there were others, or the blessings she had cultivated in several lifetimes were repaid at this time.

Amazement flourishes. Zhu Xi's courage and affection made Zhao Yan really feel the shining point of her personality.

At this time, the queen saw that the atmosphere was good, and she also said something to help.

"Your Majesty, the young girl understands the righteousness so well, it is the blessing of my Great Song Dynasty. It seems that the relief of worries may not have turned around. ”

"Circular?! Queen, what do you mean by that? ”

Suspicious, Zhao Yan felt that the matter in front of him was far from being as simple as what he saw now.

Zhu Xi's entry into the palace as a slave was only a layer on the surface of this matter, and the real purpose of her coming to the Chaoyang Palace with the queen was still holding the pipa and half-covering her face. Secret.

And that, it seems, is the crux of the matter.

"Your Majesty, please listen to the concubines. The young girl's deep understanding of righteousness is far from what the current emperor has heard. She asked her concubine for her life yesterday and was willing to replace Princess Jiewu. As a slave, he went to Dajin to serve the five princes. In this way, the emperor no longer has to worry about relieving his worries because he is young but has to marry away from home, and he always remembers it in his heart; And more importantly, this time and that time. After a long time, maybe these five princes have dispelled the idea of marrying to relieve their worries? The concubine thought about it. I feel that this method is the most suitable way to solve the urgent need at the moment. Of course, the concubine knew that she had wronged the young girl. But I was worried about the things that couldn't solve my worries, and I couldn't weigh them for a while, so I rashly led the young girl to Chaoyang Palace. Everything is still subject to the emperor's holy judgment. ”

and the reason for the confession, finally pushed the shock in his heart to the maximum, and when Zhao Yan looked at Zhu Xi on the ground, he suddenly fell into a speechlessness.

As a slave and maid, she married Dajin far away, and temporarily took the responsibility of being his wife for the young master, and no matter how wronged Zhu Xi was in her identity, the most commendable thing is that she went to gamble on her own life, and it is likely that she will not be able to set foot in the Central Plains in this life, and can only die in a foreign land.

Is it worth it for a woman to gamble the happiness of her life for the peace of someone who has nothing to do with her? Zhu Xishi in front of her, if she said that she was seeking glory, but now Zhu Xi was a slave in the palace and had a lowly status, this covetousness of wealth naturally makes no sense; If she said that she had a request from Zhao Yan, she didn't see Zhu Xishi make the slightest request before and after, and there was no bargaining tone.

This one after another difficult mysteries focused on Zhu Xishi, so that Zhao Yan really couldn't see through the righteous woman in front of him, and couldn't help but want to ask her, what did she want to do if she was wronged like this?

"You really have no regrets?!"

Again, it seems that Zhao Yan has the heart of a villain in his temperament.

"Your Majesty, although the slave and maid are not a husband who stands up to the sky, they also know that they are trustworthy in their words; As soon as the word is spoken, the horse is difficult to chase. If you ask for the emperor's permission and break your word and get fat, it is a crime of deceiving the king, and the slave and maid only have a head on their necks, and they dare not make a mistake in front of the emperor. ”

"What about the eighth brother?! You have made such a decision, does he know? ”

Whether you are affectionate or ruthless, others will naturally see it at a glance. Zhao Yan, who had long seen that the relationship between Zhu Xishi and Zhao Zhenyuan was not shallow, still cautiously asked Zhu Xishi.

"The emperor doesn't have to worry too much, the slave maid has already known about the decision of Prince Rong. Thanks to the wrong love, it didn't make Prince Rong worry about the slaves; But after all, life is one's own, and slaves have the right to choose how their lives should go, and they don't think it has anything to do with Lord Rong. ”

Duplicity, there are many stories about her and Zhao Zhenyuan! But Zhao Yan also understands that rashly revealing the entanglements is just adding to the sadness in the hearts of the parties. As Zhu Xishi said, life is one's own, and the road is also one's own choice, and there is no worry about good or bad with others.

It can only be said that fate has depths and shallows, and the separation and union are all based on the will of God.

This time, Zhao Yan put down the pride and dignity of the emperor, generously stretched out his hand to help Zhu Xishi, who was kneeling on the ground, and asked with pity.

"You once rescued Xiao Yu, and now you are standing up to protect each other and solve your worries, is this the so-called fate of heaven?"

Zhu Xishi's face buried deep in her status, when Zhao Yan put down her self-esteem, she was finally able to see clearly, she was like a plum standing proudly in the cold wind, ice clear and jade, and her weak appearance exuded unyielding strength.

And after understanding Zhao Yan's sigh of pity, Zhu Xishi smiled and replied with relief.

"Well, maybe that's what fate is destined to be." (To be continued......)
