168, imprisoned
traveled day and night all the way, and one day, Xu Xiuyan and Xu Han arrived in the capital.
Today, they still can't make it to the end of the day, so they can only camp in the wilderness.
Xu Han sat on the edge of the fire with his legs bent, even so, the wind in the night could still feel the chill on his body.
She saw that Xu Xiuyan was throwing dead branches into it, and when she went to the border at the beginning of the year, this person followed her silently without saying a word.
As if fate would play a joke, when he returned, it was still this person who accompanied him to eat and sleep together.
Only this time it's been him in the lead.
As if feeling her gaze, Xu Xiuyan looked at her sideways, his eyes full of doubts.
Xu Han's heart was filled with an indescribable taste.
When she left, her father vomited blood, and she realized that her father's health was very bad, and the wind and cold she said before were all lied to her.
She has always had prejudices against him, because he was the one who created her mother's miserable life for most of her life.
Later, she could understand some of his helplessness, but she only understood and did not forgive.
After all, everyone is responsible for their own choices, and the damage he did to his mother is something that cannot be remedied in the second half of his life.
Xu Han looked at the shining starlight in the sky, and he didn't know what happened to his father's body.
and Xiao Wei, when she left that day, the holy decree said to leave immediately, and Xu Xiuyan didn't give her too much time.
She didn't even have time to say a word to Xiao Wei.
Thinking of the only thing he said, the corners of Xu Han's mouth curled.
Winter comes early at the border gates, will the wind be colder than here?
She looked up, and thought again, the crescent moon in the sky of the border city was the same as here.
……
In the border city, Huo Qi looked coldly at the gray-clothed man in front of him.
But the man arched his hand good-naturedly,
"Seventh Master, my master has been waiting for a long time, and I hope you can see him."
Huo Qi looked at the person in front of him, and suddenly smiled slightly, and the scar on his forehead also moved, making this smile look chilling.
"I remember, I said at the beginning, how are you going to come to me, don't bother the people around me."
"Tell me why it's the way it is."
"Also, why are you here?"
The man in black immediately said,
"Seventh Master, don't get me wrong, the reason why the villain is here is because my master has invited him several times before, but he has not been able to invite Seventh Master over.
It is to send a villain to wait for the seventh master, as long as the seventh master has the meaning of seeing, he will appear in front of you. ”
Huo Qi looked at him expressionlessly, his cold gaze seemed to be looking at the person in front of him, and he seemed to be distracted.
"Seventh Master......" The man called carefully.
Huo Qi glanced at him coldly, "Lead the way." ”
The man in black suddenly grinned, made a gesture, and bowed down to make a gesture for Huo Qi.
I saw an inconspicuous Qingweibu car appear on the side of the road, Huo Qi pursed his lips, got into the car, the man in black sat on the wheel, and the original driver disappeared.
The carriage made its way through the streets and alleys, and finally stopped in front of a nondescript house in the east of the city.
"Seventh Master, please get out of the car." The man in black jumped out of the carriage and said respectfully.
After Huo Qi lifted the curtain and got out of the carriage, he just raised his eyelids and glanced at the inconspicuous mansion in front of him, ignored the man in black waiting beside him, and walked straight in.
The house looks inconspicuous from the outside, but the interior is very wide, connecting several surrounding houses.
As soon as Huo Qi entered, he was stopped by two guards who appeared out of nowhere, and after seeing Huo Qi's appearance clearly, he immediately bowed and saluted.
The man in black followed behind and walked inside with Huo Qi.
Huo Qi glanced at the two guards, and said to the man in black in a flat tone,
"Your master knows the truth of the big hidden in the city, but he actually built such a mansion under the nose of the king of Zhenbei. Not afraid of accidents? ”
The man in black knew Huo Qi's temper before, and he couldn't hear what Huo Qi meant, so he just bowed down and said,
"Seventh Master, this place was vacant before, and it was only opened when Seventh Master came here."
When Huo Qi heard this, he smiled coldly.
He followed the man in black and walked all the way to the front hall of the house, saying that it was the front hall, but it looked very much like a study.
The man in black didn't go any further, but stopped at the bottom of the steps, and just made a gesture towards Huo Qi,
"Seventh Master, please."
Huo Qi pushed open the door and walked in, this study was very elegantly furnished, and as soon as he entered the door, Huo Qi had a sense of familiarity.
The bookshelves placed inside, as well as the paintings on the walls, were all familiar to Huo Qi.
The fragrance of ink in the study and the quiet fragrance of tea all made Huo Qi familiar.
This ink was used by him in the past, and this tea was often drunk in the Huo family in the past.
There is also the placement of the bookshelf and the paintings on the wall, all of which copy the appearance of when he was in Huo's house.
He clenched his fists and walked inside.
A voice came from behind the screen,
"It's really hard to see the Seventh Master."
With the voice, a figure turned from behind the screen, saw Huo Qi, bent down and saluted, and then said with a smile,
"Seventh Master, please take a seat." After speaking, he took Xu Xiuyan to the back of the screen.
The man who greeted Huo Qi was about fifty years old, looked sven, and was wearing a gray robe, looking breezy and leisurely.
After Huo Qi sat down, he said coldly,
"Old Xu Ge is really leisurely, he has traveled thousands of miles from the capital to this city."
When Xu Ge heard this, he laughed, and raised his hand to help Huo Qi pour a cup of tea.
"Seventh Master, come and taste this tea!" Xu Ge, who was supposed to retire in the capital, greeted Huo Qi with a smile.
Huo Qi glanced at the tea set in front of him and didn't move, just lifted the corners of his lips,
"Tea is good tea, water is good water, but unfortunately, the tea set is wrong."
He looked at Xu Ge Lao mockingly,
"Why, didn't Xu Ge inquire clearly? Once upon a time, the tea set on my desk was a treasure, and I had never used it to make tea. ”
Xu Ge Lao didn't show embarrassment when he heard this, he just smiled, looked at the tea set on the table, and slowly swept the tea set to a small bucket on the side, making a 'bang' cracking sound.
In this regard, Huo Qi didn't even raise his eyelids.
I only heard that after Xu Ge Lao finished disposing of the tea set, he said with a smile,
"Seventh Master, forgive me, it's our negligence."
"I don't even know the true preferences of the seventh master, ...... someone is coming."
The man in black pushed the door in and asked through the screen,
"Elder Ge, what do you command?"
Elder Xu Ge commanded lightly,
"Who reported the news at the beginning, and if I deal with it, I can't do a little thing."
Huo Qi just glanced at Xu Ge Lao indifferently, and then turned his gaze away.
"Seventh Master, is it wrong to come to me in such a hurry?" Elder Xu Ge seemed to be a little surprised that he took the initiative to come to him.
In the past, he could not invite this person to meet him by any means, but now he took the initiative to come.
"I don't care what you're here for, but I want you to save someone."
Huo Qi looked at Xu Ge and said.
Xu Ge thought about it, shook his head and sighed,
"The Seventh Master really values love and righteousness, such a big temptation can't leave you, I didn't expect to come to me for a person today."
He sighed again and shook his head,
"This, I can't answer you for the time being."
"Isn't there room for negotiation?"
Elder Xu Ge shook his head again, "I'm sorry." ”
Huo Qi's face turned cold, this was different from the elegant man in front of Xu Han, with a smile on his face and a warm atmosphere.
He was as cold as a sculpture at the moment, and after a while, he asked coldly,
"What you want to do, I can cooperate with you."
Xu Ge Lao had a smile on his face, and clapped his hands high-five,
"It's been a long time since Xu waited for the Seventh Master."
"Back then, you rescued me from the hands of the Northern Barbarian Army, locked me in the house, and told me what happened to the Huo family day after day, isn't it just for today?"
"Even when you approached the eldest brother and called him a brother, wasn't it for today?"
"Xu Qichang, I said not to touch the people around me, not only did you cause Mi'er to lose her legs, you ......"
When Xu Ge heard this, he laughed.
He stood up and waved his wide sleeves, with a bit of dusty taste, but his voice was flat and undulating, if Xu Han was here, he would feel that he and Xu Xiuyan were worthy of being father and son, and they were almost the same.
"Huo Zheng's death has nothing to do with me, didn't you find out too? It was the three princes who failed to win over him, but instead killed him. ”
"What's more, I also asked someone to send the news to Ma Jishan, just to think that Ma Jishan could give the news to your eldest brother."
"On the contrary, Ma Jishan also has selfish intentions."
"In this way, it can only be your eldest brother's fate, and the Huo family is destined to not be your helper."
"It's just a pity that the 100,000 Huo family army."
He paused, then continued,
"Huo Zheng is also a character, he has been swordsmanlike all his life, resourceful, and bravely led the three armies to win victories in the Northern Barbarian Campaign."
"But these things for him have also become his fatal point."
"Even if the third prince doesn't do it, do you think that after a few years, the emperor will not attack him?"
"The merit is high, how can others be allowed to snore on the side of the couch, and the emperor can eat steadily? Sleep soundly? ”
Huo Qi's eyes narrowed slightly, and when Xu Ge saw this, he smiled and waved his hand,
"Seventh Master, don't be angry, the person you want me to protect is Xu Han, right?"
Seeing that Huo Qi's eyebrows moved, his voice was gentle with a bit of news, but the words he said were with a bit of indifference and murderous intent that was not disguised,
"To be honest, I didn't plan to let her live this little prince Xu."
"After all, her current prestige has overshadowed Xu Jun, and the Xu family will be even more terrifying than the Huo family back then under her leadership."
"Bisheng, this person also has a holiday with our family."
"At the same time, it is also connected to the Xu Wangfu in Shudi, and if you can't win it over, it can only be destroyed."
He saw that Huo Qi's face was tense, with a smile, and his words changed,
"But later, knowing that she had such a good relationship with the Seventh Master, and she was reluctant to make the Seventh Master sad, she wanted to let her go."
"Who knew that God opened her eyes, she turned out to be such an identity, and someone sent a pillow when she was really sleepy."
He turned to look at Huo Qi, "Don't be angry, Seventh Master, I won't kill her now, but I will make her identity public." ”
"Her life and death are in the hands of the people on the dragon chair."
"I'm thinking about the Seventh Master like this, and the Seventh Master must thank me."
Huo Qi clenched his fists, hating to knock Xu Ge Lao to the ground.
"Seventh Master, you're helpless, aren't you? Would you love to hit me, wouldn't you? I can't help it, you have been refusing to return, and you would rather go to Qin Lou than return to our team.
That's all I have to do with the next volume. ”
Huo Qi sneered, and suddenly smiled playfully,
"You said that I should return to your team, you seem to be the main one, but you have cooperated with the emperor from the beginning, so, what kind of great cause have you raised, how can you be worthy of the ancestors and ancestors of the Zhou clan in the previous dynasty?"
Xu Ge snorted coldly, "Extraordinary times do extraordinary things, otherwise I wouldn't be able to sit so firmly in the position of the first assistant." ”
"Moreover, haven't the ancestors of the Zhou clan been burned down by you and Xu Xiuyan?"
"What's more, have you worshiped the ancestors of the Zhou family? Aren't you all proud of the Huo family every day you live? ”
Huo Qi's body stiffened.
At the beginning, he was locked up in a small courtyard by Xu Gelao, but later, it was Xu Xiuyan who set fire to the courtyard and brought him out.
"Moreover, there is one more thing you are mistaken, we did not cooperate with the emperor, but the emperor arrested our people, used means to know some things, and in turn used us to eradicate dissidents."
"Otherwise, why did you think he was just a young son back then? Even more disgusting things. ”
"Don't think that he is a good emperor for the Huo family, let alone that he just secretly called Xu Han into the capital to protect her."
"As I said, I will let you see the true face of the emperor clearly, a person, only if he has the power in his own hands and stands at the highest peak, can he do whatever he wants."
"For example, what was the first thing he did when he ascended the throne? put the eldest sister-in-law in the harem, and a pet is so many years. ”
"If he doesn't have the right, how dare he do that?"
"History has always been the words of victorious men."
Huo Qi listened and was silent for a long time,
"What's the difference between you and the emperor back then?"
"The previous dynasty has been destroyed for hundreds of years, you haven't done anything big for hundreds of years, you want to take revenge on the current royal family, but in the end, it is the 100,000 Huo family army that suffers, and the border people suffer, what is even more ironic is that your majesty can still benefit from this matter."
"Who are you taking revenge on?"
Huo Qi raised his eyes to look at Elder Xu Ge and said softly,
"Although I have the blood of the previous dynasty, my surname is Huo, and, with all due respect, there are descendants of courtiers like you in the previous dynasty, and you deserve to die in the country."
"The people of the Zhou Dynasty are a bunch of useless wretched."
Although Huo Qi's voice was not high, it was loud, and Xu Ge Lao's originally leisurely body instantly stiffened.
Huo Qi didn't care if his words would make Xu Ge Lao angry, he picked up the tea cup on the side and played around a few times.
Xu Ge Lao laughed and asked lightly,
"No matter what, Xu Han's ending is not in our hands, if you want her to live, you can only pray to God."
"I know that if you can set up such a game, you will definitely have a backhand, and since I promised you to cooperate with you, it will be as you wish."
"If you don't save her, then you can wait to collect the body."
"After all, the bloodline of the Zhou clan in the previous dynasty is only me."
"And I, with poison in my blood, it is impossible to have any more children, otherwise during the time I was locked up by you, I would not lie in bed every day waiting for a different woman."
"I'm not my father, if you push me, it's just a big deal."
When Xu Ge Lao heard this, his expression suddenly became a little complicated, he looked at Huo Qi a few times, and asked,
"Seventh Master, that's just a woman, don't you bet on a bright future, is it worth it?"
"What's more, you have come so far for her, does she know? Appreciate it? She doesn't know anything, but you want to lose what you might get. ”
"Your country is not worth much, her life is worth more than the country, right?"
"It's my business whether it's worth it or not." Huo Qi interrupted him.
"My life was obtained by accident, without the Huo family, how could I be where I am today?"
"The Xu family is just the second in the Huo family, I won't let her become the second victim, there is already an eleven mother who died in your poison.
Let me tell you, even if human life is not divided into three, six, nine, etc., but people's hearts are also divided. ”
"I really didn't expect that the seventh master turned out to be an infatuated person. is really the first person in the Zhou family. ”
Elder Xu Ge smiled and looked at Huo Qi and smiled thoughtfully,
"Speaking of which, Xu really thinks it's strange, the seventh master's preferences are really a little special."
"At the beginning, Huo Shiniang was also a dancer with knives and guns, although she could also use red needlework, but she was also favored by Huo Zheng for her lawlessness."
"How did I get to Xu Xiaowangye, the seventh master fell into it again, strange, strange, really strange."
"What does Xu Ge Lao mean by this." Huo Qi asked coldly.
Xu Ge Lao looked at Huo Qi and smiled faintly,
"The Seventh Master was also a famous Confucian general of the Huo family in the past, and he was regarded as an immortal-like figure by the women of Beijing."
"Presumably I am familiar with poetry and classics, don't you know how many originally high-spirited heroes have been destroyed by women since ancient times."
Huo Qi looked at Xu Ge Lao quietly, and suddenly lifted his lips and smiled slightly,
"Ge Lao is really joking, Eleven Niang is my niece, and Xu Xiaowang is a young friend who charges into battle with me."
"Ge Lao's mind is dirty, and what he sees is naturally dirty."
The sharpness in Xu Ge Lao's eyes flashed so fast that people couldn't catch the traces, and he was still smiling when he looked at Huo Qi.
Huo Qi has never been an easy person to deal with, otherwise, how could Xu Xiuyan have watched the Huo family fall with cold eyes, and he didn't make a move, but he would have set fire to the courtyard and rescued him.
"The elder said that he said that he wanted to restore the Zhou clan of the previous dynasty, after so many years, what achievements have you made?"
"The people who are stable in the Eastern Yuan Dynasty have just experienced another big war, and the people's hearts are even more stable, but they have a good life, do they want to live a life of displacement?"
"Ge Lao, I advise you, so you can do it yourself."
"I'll say it again, no matter what method you use, keep Xu Han."
After saying this, he got up and left without looking back.
Xu Ge Lao looked at Huo Qi's back, he knew that Huo Qi was not a person who would resign himself to fate, he couldn't just watch Xu Han die, so he would definitely take action.
His face was a little cold, and he was half loud, but he still called someone in and gave a few orders.
No matter what means Huo Qi used, he would definitely interrupt their plan when the time came.
So, he's better block the road first.
He rubbed his temples, and luckily, he would be able to free himself from this damn shackle in his lifetime.
……
In the capital, Xu Han finally arrived in the capital after days of traveling.
Xu Xiuyan's men stepped forward first and handed over the sign, and the soldiers defending the city let them go.
When they saw Xu Han, several soldiers guarding the city stood straight one after another, with awe in their eyes.
Xu Han led the horse and passed in front of those soldiers inexplicably, and when she walked a little farther, she heard the voices of the soldiers behind her.
"It's really worth it to be able to see the little marshal with your own eyes."
"I was shocked when I saw her just now, I really didn't expect that such a bloody person turned out to be a woman......"
"What's wrong with the woman...... Those men aren't as good as her. ”
Xu Han glanced back at the soldiers a few more times, as if feeling her gaze, and the soldiers defending the city suddenly stopped and stood there straight.
Xu Han was shocked, it was clear that her return to Beijing was a secret, why now it seems that everyone in the capital knows about it.
Thinking about it like this, she immediately noticed that the people on the side looked at her a little differently.
Originally, there weren't too many people who went into the city like her, so how did the things guarding the city recognize her? And these people.
If it is possible that the soldiers defending the city saw her in front of Jin Wuwei or the palace, they recognized her.
So, what about these people?
Not every citizen has seen her, so they must recognize her.
She looked down at the clothes on her body, very ordinary clothes......
Everywhere she went, everyone watched her whisper, admiration, contempt, sympathy, and all kinds of eyes intertwined.
Her identity was not only known by the people in Beijing, but even the time when she returned to the city was calculated.
To say that there is no push behind this scene, she doesn't believe it.
When passing by the teahouse, under the canopy facing the street, someone was talking, looking at the foot-walking merchant dressed as walking everywhere, only to hear him say proudly to some people around him,
"I just came back from the border pass, speaking of the Northern Xinjiang Army, then I must talk about the little prince of Zhenbei, now the barbarians in the north, when they hear the name of the little prince, they are frightened, and they turn around and run."
"The people in the border cities were originally forced to leave their homes, and some people's homes were occupied by the barbarians.
"Also, the people in the frontier are also very powerful, they not only returned to their hometowns and rebuilt their homes, but also trained every male to be fierce under the leadership of the little prince."
"As long as the barbarians dare to come again, those men can drop their heads, take machetes, and kill the barbarians......"
"The prestige of the little prince in the frontier can make the barbarians fearful."
The people next to him listened with relish, and the person who didn't have long eyes whispered,
"Didn't you say that the little prince was originally a daughter? How can this female doll enter the barracks? How to get on the horse and fight, this is obviously a bully. ”
"Isn't this treating us people for fools?"
When some people heard this, they also nodded, "The female doll should teach her husband and children at home and take care of family affairs, this little prince not only concealed his identity, but also became a prince." ”
"I don't know what the emperor will do with her."
Some people doubted, opposed, and some said disdainfully,
"What's wrong with the female doll? A female doll is not a human being. ”
"In the border city, women can kill the enemy just as well, as long as they can drive the northern barbarians away, no matter what kind of man or woman they are, those who can kill the enemy are good people."
The people begged the foot-walking merchant to continue to talk about Xu Han.
The merchant knew a lot, so he let Xiao Er's serve another pot of tea, and continued to spit and talk about what he had seen and heard in the frontier.
attracted more and more people to stop and listen, and even the bloody young man waved his fist and shouted that he wanted to join the Xu family's army.
Xu Han didn't dare to continue listening, but lowered his head and asked Xu Xiuyan in a low voice,
"Lord Xu, is this what you said about the news not being revealed? Is there anyone in this capital who doesn't know my identity? ”
Xu Xiuyan also frowned, he didn't know how to answer Xu Han.
Then, as if thinking of something, his body stiffened.
No wonder, the last time I stayed at the post station with Xu Xiuyan, the post Cheng's eyes were very strange, and he always looked at her and stopped.
I think he was also very curious about her identity.
That post station is hundreds of miles away from the capital, has the news spread so far?
Also, what is this trader talking about? Where did she have that prestige in the border city?
It's true that the people are rebuilding their homes, and she does have the men trained.
But it was not as powerful as the foot-walking merchant said, and there was no bloody aura that the soldiers guarding the city gate said.
She blinked her eyes and asked Xu Xiuyan,
"Lord Xu, am I majestic?"
When things came to this point, Xu Han's originally apprehensive heart suddenly settled down, and he was even in the mood to joke with Xu Xiuyan.
Xu Xiuyan glanced at her, but instantly looked away, and her earlobes seemed to be faintly red.
He said indifferently,
"Not majestic."
Instead of looking down the street, they turned a corner and headed towards the palace.
At the gate of the palace, the two got off the horse, and Xu Han was about to enter the imperial city when she heard someone calling her from behind.
When she turned around, it turned out to be Xu Danxiu standing on the side of the carriage, about to run over with her skirt.
Xu Han hurriedly glanced at Xu Xiuyan and said,
"Please be accommodating, and I will have a few words with my mother."
Xu Xiuyan nodded, moved his steps, and stood aside.
"Mother, I entered Beijing quietly, how do you know that I am back?" She looked at Xu Danxiu with a puzzled face.
"As soon as you entered the city, someone came to the house to deliver a letter, saying that they saw you." Xu Danxiu saw that Xu Han was a little out of shape, so she grabbed Xu Han and looked her up and down.
She looked at Xu Han nicely, the corners of her eyes were red, and crystal tears flashed.
"It's dark, it's thin......"
She wiped away her tears with a handkerchief.
"Hanhan, the emperor is waiting to see you, I will only say a few words to you......"
Xu Danxiu glanced at Xu Xiuyan and said in a low voice,
"Don't be afraid, just go in boldly, the emperor shouldn't have the heart to deal with you, he originally wanted to secretly let you enter Beijing and ask clearly."
"I don't know which one killed a thousand knives, and after getting the news of your true identity, the walk is all over the capital."
"If Your Majesty wants to press down, you can't."
"However, my mother has sent someone to wash away the rumors in the capital, and I hope things will develop in a good place."
Listening to Xu Danxiu's words, Xu Han suddenly realized that what the businessman said just now should have been sent out by her.
Entering the palace in a hurry, even if you have thousands of questions in your heart, it is not a good time to ask.
However, with Xu Danxiu's words, she is more confident.
After saying a few words, she let Xu Danxiu's house go, turned around and entered the palace gate with Xu Xiuyan.
……
Imperial Palace, Qianqing Palace, Xu Xiuyan and Xu Han were led in by Cui Hai, and after Xu Xiuyan and the emperor returned to their lives, they were driven to rest by the emperor.
After Xu Xiuyan went out, two palace people led Xu Han to the apse.
She actually saw Concubine Yu in palace clothes in the apse.
Xu Han immediately knelt down and saluted, "Knock on the concubine." ”
"No courtesy." Concubine Yu raised her hand with a smile, turned her head and instructed the palace people,
"Bring a stool for the little prince."
The palace man answered, and put a brocade stool behind her.
Concubine Yu was not satisfied, "Move closer, just put it here." ”
The place she pointed to was the couch where she was sitting.
The palace man hesitated for a moment, "Niangniang......"
Concubine Yu waved her hand and motioned for the palace people to move the stool.
Xu Han knew that Concubine Yu also knew her identity, otherwise, according to the past, it would be a sin for her to be a 'foreign man' to see her alone, let alone get close to her.
"Sit down." Concubine Yu pointed to the stool and spoke softly.
Xu Han sat down as he said.
"You're quite bold, and Zheng'er often talks about you."
Concubine Yu said with a smile.
Xu Han pondered for a moment and replied,
"It's Xiao Shizi who is so good that he is willing to play with me. The prince often mentions you. ”
"Oh?" Concubine Yu was very surprised, her body leaned back,
"Really? Are you wondering why Hongu wants to see you? ”
Xu Han didn't know what to do, but just smiled at her.
Concubine Yu looked at her and said,
"You are a little girl, compared to all the men in the world, I like you very much, and I envy you."
In the second half of the sentence, she was a little stunned.
She was silent for a while, then glanced at the palace people, who quietly retreated.
"Your Majesty asked me to see you, you should know why."
After speaking, she took Xu Han's hand and stood up and went to unbutton her clothes.
She explained and whispered again,
"The levy is six hundred miles urgent, and his letter will arrive in my hands one day earlier than you."
"He told me to take care of you."
Xu Han was just about to turn his head to look at her, but she held him down.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty didn't dispose of your heart before, but now, there are many voices of opposition in the court."
"Bitterness, you must have to eat some. I will intercede for you before Your Majesty. ”
"It's just how it ends. I don't know. ”
"I'll do my best, though."
After she untied Xu Han's clothes, she saw the strip of cloth on her chest, so she covered Xu Han's placket, and then clapped her hands, and the palace mermaid entered.
"Alright, you go to see Your Majesty."
Over there, Cui Hai had already cleared out all the palace maids in the main hall, including himself.
The vermilion gate was closed, and only the two monarchs and ministers were left in the splendid hall.
Xu Han knelt underneath, hanging his head, silent.
She has already been guilty of pleasing, and now she has nothing to defend, and there is nothing to say about her justification, after all, she is indeed a bully.
The emperor is the emperor in the end, before he saw Xu Han, no matter how uncertain he was, this would still be the same as Mount Tai collapsed in front of him.
He sat behind the imperial case, looking down at Xu Han kneeling below with complicated eyes.
Thinking of when she said that she would marry the princess to her, her answer, what a heavenly eunuch, it was really difficult for her to say it embarrassed.
and Xiao Wei, who also helped to hide it together at that time, one by one, did he treat him as a fool?
He was a dignified emperor, and this Manchu Dynasty civil and military, was actually played with by a woman in applause.
The hundreds of thousands of soldiers on the dignified frontier still have to rely on a woman to turn the tide.
The thought of this made the emperor's heart churn with anger.
In the end, he is Mingjun, he can endure Huo Qi to overturn the case for the Huo family, and he can endure being teased by the Xu family.
His face, in the matter of the Huo family, has already been beaten once, but it is just another beating.
He is Mingjun. He endured.
"Xu Han, do you know that this is a matter of the Zhu clan, and you dare to make waves in the court."
The emperor's eyebrows and eyes were cold, and his voice was as cold as ice.
Xu Han hung his head and said respectfully, "The sinners are guilty, and the sinners are for the hearts of the people, and they have never made waves. ”
The emperor was unmoved, sneered, as if he knew Xu Han for the first time, and his scrutinizing gaze swept over Xu Han inch by inch,
"You are really good, not only you, but your Xu family, so playing with the court and me in applause, do you really think that if you have some credit, you can do whatever you want?"
"Say, 'Who did this, your father?' Or your mother? ”
Xu Han lowered his eyes and shook his head,
"Whoever it is, in short, it's my fault, if I hadn't been born, this wouldn't have happened."
"The guilty bear all the blame."
The emperor sneered, furious, and raised his hand to smash down a paperweight on the side.
Xu Han didn't dodge, the paperweight smashed on her forehead, and immediately fell on the tile, making a crisp sound of 'pop', and it broke into two.
On Xu Han's face, blood flowed down her forehead like a line.
She didn't dare to wipe it with her hands, but just lowered her head and kowtowed, "The sinner knows his mistake." ”
"Sinner...... On what basis are you a vassal? The Emperor said coldly.
Xu Han raised his head, blood flowed down, and said slowly,
"The criminal minister still holds the title of marshal of the Northern Expeditionary Army, and he has not even taken away the position of deputy commander of Jin Wuwei."
"Your Majesty has never made it clear to the world and condemned the crime of the guilty minister, why can't the criminal minister be called a minister."
"What's more, Your Majesty, may I ask the Eastern Yuan Dynasty, which law says that women are not allowed to be officials? Women can't go to war, women can't be kings? ”
"Of course, the criminal does have the crime of concealment, but in the name of making waves, the criminal does not dare to bear it!"
The emperor's smash made Xu Han's whole head dizzy, but after this dizziness, the pain made him more sober.
The emperor's words were not her identity as a woman, but her concealment, and even, the concealment of the Xu family.
The emperor was trembling by Xu Han's words, and wanted to hit her with something again, but looking at her clear eyes and the red blood, his hand shook, and he couldn't find anything.
He only has the jade seal in his hand, so he can't throw the jade seal out.
He could only slap the case hard,
"Come on, throw the little prince of Zhenbei into the prison of Dali Temple, without my will, no one is allowed to visit!"
