Chapter 66: "Wrong Love"
*
Although Zuo Ying didn't say anything when she heard Scarlet Feather's words, the surprise in her heart was second only to the moment she found out that he was a man - there are really many wonders in the world, who would have thought that there was really such a race in the world that could determine their gender according to their own will? Before Scarlet Feather uttered this mythical statement in unquestionable earnest words, Zuo Ying had always thought that only anglerfish could do this kind of thing in the animal kingdom.
Scarlet Feather's statement continued, "Until that day, the queen led people to break into Yongning Palace, and Scarlet Feather not only couldn't protect His Majesty from danger with his own strength, but also almost was killed by someone, even His Majesty, Scarlet Feather knew that staying by His Majesty's side could not just praise His Majesty; Scarlet Feather wishes to become a man so that she can protect His Majesty with a more powerful body and fists and feet. ”
"When Scarlet Feather was young, she only heard that our people's bodies could determine the gender of their own will, but they didn't know how the change would happen. In the serious illness half a month ago, Scarlet Feather felt that her muscles and bones were changing every day in the torment of being extremely sore...... Become...... It's become completely different from a woman......" Scarlet Feather lowered her head in embarrassment at the mention of her body, and her cheeks flushed, "Scarlet Feather knew that the moment had come. After getting up from the illness, Scarlet Feather heard that His Majesty was worshipping the sky in the mound, although he could return to the palace in one day, but Scarlet Feather only felt that he had not been by His Majesty's side for many days, and had been derelict in his duties for too long, so he only wanted to go to serve His Majesty, but he did not expect to encounter a chaotic party. Scarlet Feather thought that he could use this body to protect His Majesty's safety, even if it was only once, he was already satisfied, even if he wanted Scarlet Feather's body to be different, Scarlet Feather did not have the slightest regret. ”
Although Scarlet Feather's voice is no longer the original mellow and sweet, but has become a man's thick voice, his tone is still gentle as water, and his voice is moving and tactful, no matter what he says, it is like a lover's whisper in his ear.
If it weren't for Zuo Ying herself, she would not have believed in this almost fantastical myth if she hadn't watched a gentle and weak woman who had been by her side for many years change her body, voice and temperament after a serious illness, and finally become a beautiful man. And only in this way can we explain why a "man" can "lurk for many years" as a palace maid without being discovered.
At this time, the surprise in Zuo Ying's heart had calmed down. She pondered that this child seemed to have "secretly promised" to He Lanying a long time ago, so even though she was beaten and scolded, she was also loyal and had no second thoughts, and she sacrificed her life to save her more than once, and even made such a major lifelong decision in order to better protect her. And now because she occupies Helan Ying's body, she has taken advantage of it for nothing, although it is not something she can dominate, but after all, she always feels a little indebted to this child, maybe she should treat him better in the future to make up for this "wrong love"?
After saying these many words, Scarlet Feather breathed a sigh of relief silently, as if a burden had been lifted from her shoulders.
"You've been reborn, and you want to retire after protecting me once?" Zuo Ying raised her eyebrows, "Scarlet Feather listens to the seal." ”
The unprepared Scarlet Feather raised her head in astonishment, bowed down to the ground and said, "The minister is here." ”
"I will appoint you as a guard from the Fourth Rank Imperial Court right now to protect my safety." Zuo Ying said loudly.
Although Zuo Ying has not yet been in charge of the government during the "Watching Politics", she still has a little power to appoint and dismiss personnel, especially the positions in the palace, which do not have to go through Helan Chu.
Scarlet Feather was so surprised that she forgot about Shane and straightened up, looking at Zuo Ying in disbelief, "Scarlet Feather can still stay with Your Majesty as before?" ”
Zuo Ying smiled slightly, "Don't leave an inch." Except, of course – except, when showering and changing. ”
As soon as these words came out, Scarlet Feather's face turned slightly red again, and he hurriedly bowed down and kowtowed to thank him: "Scarlet Feather thanks Your Majesty Longen." ”
At this time, Zuo Ying's heart was full of emotions that could not be laughed or cryed - Scarlet Feather has served as the princess's personal palace maid for many years, and where else has Scarlet Feather never seen in her current body? This can make him blush, this child's face is estimated to have not fully grown after the gender is determined, it is really thin and cute.
At this moment, a palace maid came from behind the screen separating the bedroom from the inner hall, and carefully buckled the screen a few times.
Scarlet Feather immediately got up and walked over to the screen, going around the screen and asking what was going on.
When he returned to Zuo Ying, the words brought by Scarlet Feather were: "The Taishi is asking to see him outside the hall." ”
"Biography." Zuo Ying smiled lightly, this guy has finally learned some rules, not in the forbidden palace.
A moment later, Scarlet Feather helped Zuo Ying out of the inner hall, and Helan Chu was already standing there majestically.
When he saw Zuo Ying, he took a sip and knelt forward in a lunge and said, "Minister Helan Chu knocks to see Your Majesty, may Your Majesty be blessed and safe." ”
Zuo Ying said in her stomach, "Everything is thanks to you", and sat down on the chief Shi Shiran and said: "Flat, give a seat." ”
After Helan Chu got up and sat aside, Zuo Ying deliberately asked, "Aiqing is in a hurry to see me, is there a result of a thorough investigation of the Yuanqiu Rebellion Party?" ”
"Back to Your Majesty," Helan Chu said calmly: "The thorough investigation of the chaos of the party is not the work of a few days, the minister is working day and night, and there will be results within a month." Although he knew that His Majesty had not recovered from his serious illness this time, he dared to rashly ask to see him, because there was another urgent matter that His Majesty needed to decide. ”
Zuo Yingxin said: It will take a month to investigate the chaotic party? Give you a minute and you'll be able to tell the name of the person responsible. However, it will take a little time to discuss internally who should be sacrificed this time to take responsibility, and who will be preserved as tomorrow's reserves.
"What's the matter with Aiqing?" Zuo Ying asked.
Helan Chu's eyes were cold and bright, and he was the only one in the world who dared to look directly at the emperor all the time and speak, "The envoys of the Turkic Ashina Department have been staying in the capital since the emperor's funeral, just to ask His Majesty to meet in person. Because of the fact that His Majesty was tired of enthronement and worshipping the heavens, the minister had not allowed it to be passed on, and it was already half a month after a delay. Now it is really inappropriate to delay this matter any longer, so the minister will take advantage of His Majesty's health to report the matter. ”
Zuo Ying really wanted to ask weakly, is there anything that you Helan Chu can't decide, and you want to ask me Zuo Ying? I'm afraid that at that time, Helan Chu replied weakly, and he would know when he saw the Turkic envoy.
The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth. Zuo Ying asked, "Where is the Turkic envoy now?" ”
"The minister has asked the Turkic envoy to wait outside the imperial study." Helan Chu's tone was still devoid of any emotion, but that nice and magnetic voice seemed to be enough to cover up any traps seamlessly.
Is everything arranged because of time? Zuo Ying smiled wryly, "Start the study." ”
