Chapter 34: The Dark Tide is Surging
The sky is getting dark, and the sun is gradually disappearing, leaving only the fiery red afterglow on the horizon, layer by layer, like the sea of heaven, which is thrilling to look at.
No one at the banquet dared to speak out, and everyone sitting in their seats was silent.
The emperor pale his face, his dark eyes became deeper and deeper, and he sat on it without anger and looked down at Fu Qiong.
The queen beside her also frowned slightly when she heard this, but she didn't see her say anything, and she wanted to know that the emperor was unhappy now, and she didn't want to touch the scales, so she sat there with a slightly pale face.
There has never been such silence in the garden, and it is even a little terrifying, and the occasional birdsong can startle everyone's hearts.
Such an atmosphere and the emperor's attitude made Fu Qiong also feel a chill in his heart, and even felt that it was really unwise for him to say it so abruptly.
I have long heard that the emperor's love for the crown prince and the princess is not comparable to others, and this son wants to say in front of the public that the princess and the chief eunuch have a private friendship, is it a loss of face for the emperor?
Besides, not to mention whether he will realize the other ideas he has about Princess Yan in his heart, I am afraid that it is a question of whether he has the life to return to the ghost Tibetan clan.
"I'm asking you, why don't you answer?"
The emperor's voice was cold until a few points, without any emotion, and Fu Qiong's face turned pale, and the invisible sense of oppression almost drowned him, he finally understood that some people were really born to be kings.
His knees weakened, and he fell to his knees with a thud: "Weichen ......"
This is not only Fu Qiong nervous, but Nuan Jin, who is sitting diagonally opposite, is also like an ant on a hot pot, she naturally understands who Fu Qiong is talking about, and there was no private meeting originally, but she met Fu Qiong when she was drunk that night, and accidentally slipped under her feet and almost fell, Fu Qiong kindly stepped forward to help her, but Cen Run, who happened to come over, misunderstood that Fu Qiong was going to mistreat herself and beat up.
Originally, it was nothing to say, it was reasonable, and the chief manager could be regarded as a meritorious service, but later that day when she and Cen Run explained the dream in the garden, they said too intimate words, and she didn't know how much they were heard by Fu Qiong and Xuan Yue who were passing by.
Now that Fu Qiong has arranged it like this, he decided that it was impossible for him to reason with him, so that she could eat coptis here dumbly.
It can be said that she still has a personal relationship with the chief manager in her heart, she is not afraid that the emperor will punish herself, she is a princess, as long as she does not betray the country, no matter how angry the emperor is, she will not be able to scold her head, the big deal is to ask her to think about it for a few months, she eats and drinks well in her palace to recuperate, and she is still a good man after coming out.
Besides, it's really not good, she still has the queen and the prince interceding for herself, and there is nothing big going on left and right, what she is afraid of is ......
A heart hung in the air, and the more Nuan Jin wanted to control his eyes, the more disobedient he looked at Cen Run.
He stood beside the emperor, and looked the same as usual, no different, and there was not even a trace of crack in his expression that had not changed for thousands of years. He just stood quietly like that, his eyebrows were picturesque, and the smile on the corner of his lips was like a spring breeze, which could instantly warm his limbs.
Nuan Jin felt a little aggrieved, at this time she was not thinking about herself at all, but afraid that the emperor would condemn him, and when the time came, it would be against the palace rules to treat him a princess in private, even if the head could be kept, it would inevitably be subject to dozens of boards.
Don't he know who Fu Qiong is talking about? Nuan Jin was shocked, if this is the case, it will be even worse, let him be prepared first.
The more she thought about it, the more frightened she became, the more anxious she became, and she kept glancing at Cen Run, completely forgetting that with Cen Run's ingenuity, how could she not understand Fu Qiong's malice?
"What are you doing here?" Lou Xuanning had already seen Nuan Jin's abnormality, and moved his mouth and shook his head at her in the air.
He was also anxious, Nuan Jin was still young and careless, and the masters and slaves present all lowered their heads and didn't dare to make a sound, but she was there squeezing her eyebrows, for fear that others would not see her abnormality?
And it is also facing Cen Run, who is beside the emperor, his sister is beautiful, and his brain is really not bright enough.
"What's going on with her and Cen Run?" Lou Xuanning was so anxious that he couldn't do anything, so he turned around and asked Yan Hehuan in a voice that could only be heard by the two of them.
The latter was shocked, the situation in front of her was simply unclear, if she continued to help Nuan Jin hide from Xuan Ning, would it make her more dangerous, at least she should let the prince know that if something happened, she could help Nuan Jin to deal with it, but in this case, would the prince get into trouble?
Yan Hehuan's expression changed instantly, almost making Lou Xuanning understand at once, a little incredulous and a little annoyed: "You know all about it?" But you hide it from me? ”
"Slave ......"
"Smack!" A crisp sound shattered everyone's nerves to the extreme, and the emperor put the wine glass in his hand on the case, and his voice was full of anger: "I ask, are you deaf?" Or dumb? ”
Everyone was shocked, and they all fell to their knees, shouting "The emperor is angry".
"Wechen ......"
"Father!" Nuan Jin jumped up in a hurry, ran to the middle of the cut in a few steps and fell to the ground with a thud.
The emperor's expression was not surprised, but there was a kind of helplessness that hated iron and could not be made of steel, he leaned back and looked at Nuan Jin with low eyebrows.
"Nuan Jin, what are you doing here?" The queen's face was not good, and at this time, no matter how stupid people were, they understood what was going on, but they didn't know who the hero in the excerpt was.
But the queen is different from those palace concubines, it is her child who kneels at the bottom, and she is anxious to protect her son.
"Don't speak, the queen, I want to see, what does the princess want to say?" The emperor's face was gloomy, and there was a danger that the mountain rain was coming, and he didn't even care about the empress's face, indicating that he was angry at the moment.
"Warm brocade...... Nuan Jin ...... "Nuan Jin was also panicked, almost subconsciously ran out just now, but knelt here, but didn't know what to say." She still wants to see Cen Run, but now it has become a habit, and she always wants to rely on him when something happens.
But although her brain is confused, she understands that as long as she goes to see Cen Run this time, even if she doesn't confess herself, the matter of the two of them is to tell the world, what consequences can be imagined, the most infuriating thing is that between them, at most, it can only be regarded as her own unrequited love, and the general manager of the family has never given her any response from beginning to end, in other words, is this considered to have wronged him, and let him eat pot with him?
"Father, you know Nuan Jin's temperament, she has not been serious since she was a child, and she doesn't know what kind of moth she has come up with, it must be for which palace maid and eunuch to intercede, she is too righteous and wants to stand out for others." The prince hurriedly got up and knelt down, his sister really never made people worry, he was really out of trouble talking nonsense, no matter what happened between her and Cen Run, as long as it was announced to the public, it would be a catastrophe.
"Huh." The emperor smiled lightly, but there was not even half a minute of warmth in his eyes, "This is interesting, the person I asked did not answer, but the irrelevant person was in a hurry to defend." ”
The emperor casually glanced at Cen Run beside him: "Chief Administrator, tell me, what crime have they committed?" ”
Nuan Jin's face turned pale, knowing that the emperor was really angry, he couldn't care much more, and hurriedly shouted before Cen Run could speak: "It's me!" ”
"The good princess of the minister, you can protect the minister like this, it is really touching that the minister is so moved!"
