Chapter 38: Negotiating with the Emperor
He has always done things safely and has never gone wrong, and of course Nangong Jinrun believes in him.
But it is also true that the imperial concubine's temperament suddenly changed drastically.
"No matter what, this matter must be re-investigated, if the hand imperial concubine is as weak as rumored, she should suffer a dumb loss in this matter, and suddenly become so spicy, I have seen such a fierce woman for the first time, I have a headache, it is really a headache."
He didn't even think about how to deal with that woman next, when he heard the guards outside report: "Your Majesty, the imperial concubine is here." ”
Nangong Jinrun: ......
"Just say I'm busy, don't see!"
"Yes!!"
"Wait, let her in." Nangong Jinrun rubbed his eyebrows helplessly, the things in the court had exhausted him physically and mentally, and now he was deeply involved in the disputes of the harem women, and he really felt exhausted.
Jing Chuchu walked in aggressively, and his face was no longer obedient.
"Bai Ji, forget your worries, Luzhu, you all go down, the palace and the emperor haven't seen each other for a few days, and I have something to say." She just came to get rid of the people.
Bai Yong stood still and didn't move, just looking at the emperor.
Nangong Jinrun nodded, and then he walked out with all the people in the Heart Cultivation Palace, closing the door and not daring to go too far outside.
"Your Majesty, the concubines have carried a lot of black cauldrons for you, such and such favors, you really love the concubines! Knowing that the women of the harem are eyeing you, but you pushed me out as a shield, even if you helped others to bully the concubines, wouldn't the emperor give an explanation? ”
Jing Chuchu gritted her teeth and had a direct showdown, anyway, she and the emperor were just using each other, since this was the case, then why not let yourself choose a more advantageous one?
"What do you want to say, Imperial Concubine? Do you know what you just said, if it gets out, how much criticism it will cause? ”
Nangong Jinrun suddenly sat up straight, and this woman actually told him about bargaining chips.
"Your Majesty, if the concubine makes her virgin body public, the cold poison of the emperor's body is cured, how will you check the spread of the emperor's affairs outside?"
Isn't it just a man? She still didn't believe it, and she couldn't cure him.
"What exactly do you want to do? I warn you that the glory and wealth of your Jing family can be fully held in your hands. ”
Jing Chuchu found a place to sit down and played with the armor on his fingers.
"If the emperor doesn't raise it, if this matter gets out, I don't know, how will the queen mother worry? The emperor is a filial son, so he shouldn't want the queen mother to be sad and tired, right? Jing Chuchu smiled lightly, shining brightly.
Nangong Jinrun could only stare dryly, unable to say anything, he never expected the imperial concubine to be so sharp-toothed.
Jing Chuchu stood up, slowly paced to the emperor, and looked at him before he slowly spoke: "The Jing family is full of glory, which one is not obtained by relying on its own strength?" Could it be that like Prime Minister Qin, because of his identity as the queen mother, he has been in the ascendant all the way, until he is now in a high position, does he really have the ability to have the world in mind? What did he do for the people and the country? Or did he lead his troops to repel the enemy at the border pass and establish great achievements? ”
Maybe she can't scold people now, but she her off and says anything.
Nangong Jinrun's face suddenly became gloomy: "Imperial Concubine, do you know who you are talking to now?" Speak to me like this, and are you not afraid to punish your sins? ”
"Hmph~Zhi! The emperor punishes the crime casually, anyway, the concubines are here, the emperor is afraid of the Jing family's high achievements, but he has to rely on them to contain the ministers of the court, as long as the emperor thinks that the Jing family is still useful, what will the emperor do with the concubines? ”
Jing Chuchu no longer wants to be a snake with the emperor, and it is not easy to sleep on the floor every day, so how can he earn a stable and prosperous life for himself.
"Imperial Concubine, this is the real you, right? The previous ones were all pretended, right? Nangong Jinrun really looked at the woman in front of him.
Jing Chuchu seems to be more bright and moving now than when I first saw it before.
"Why did you stand as the Assassin's sword for me in the first place?" He asked suddenly.
Jing Chuchu didn't react for a while, and his head was full of question marks: "What does the emperor mean?" Could it be that the concubine directed and acted by herself? ”
"Why such a coincidence?"
Jing Chuchu shrugged: "At that time, the emperor treated his concubines very well, if you had three long and two short, wouldn't the concubines have to be widowed, obviously I am just Fang Hua, so I am lonely in the palace until I am old, it is really unbearable, and I can only block the sword with my body in a hurry." ”
She wouldn't be stupid enough to say that she stepped on the watermelon skin, and if she happened to tell the truth, she would really tear her face with the emperor.
"I didn't expect you to be a little sincere to me." Nangong Jinrun looked at her for a long time and didn't speak.
Jing Chuchu looked at him openly, anyway, he didn't feel guilty about this man, did he do anything to be sorry for him.
"So what is the purpose of the imperial concubine's coming today?" Nangong Jinrun didn't want to play Tai Chi like her anymore.
"Huh...... The emperor was really happy, and the concubine said directly, the emperor once told the concubine not to think about the queen's position, coincidentally, the concubine didn't want to sit in that position, just wanted to find a peaceful place in the harem, and live my own small life in peace, even if it was to stay in the cold palace, anyway, things like Concubine Shu, I don't want it to happen again. ”
Since the emperor himself has put it forward, she is not afraid to put forward her own conditions.
"Imperial Concubine, if you negotiate terms with me like this, aren't you afraid that I will get angry and kill you?" Nangong Jinrun clenched his hands into fists and looked at him with murderous aura in his eyes.
Jing Chuchu knew that she was pulling out the tiger's whiskers now, and she had already finished what she had to say anyway.
"Your Majesty, don't you think that a person like a concubine in the palace will make you feel at ease? When the woman you like comes back, the concubine is not in the way, if you have a favorite woman who can't catch up, the concubine can also help with advice, a good concubine like me, where do you find it? ”
She praised her wit, the emperor belongs to everyone, she is not rare.
"You!! cough cough ...... "Nangong Jinrun was really angry with this woman."
"Jing Chuchu, don't you have any feelings for me?"
She shook her head without hesitation and happily: "The emperor's favor every day, the concubines will indeed hurt all over their bodies, and it is not a matter of laying on the floor every day!" Besides, don't you know, since you are in good health, the eyes of many concubines in this harem are staring at you, and the concubines know that they are incompetent, so they can't compete with those many concubines, so it's not good to just seek a stable life for themselves? ”
She has a brother who hurts, and her father loves her, why can't she think of liking a man who won't like her for no reason? Isn't that looking for abuse?
"Okay, since the imperial concubine said so, then I will allow you, and the matter of the concubine will be over, and I will not trouble you again in the future."
