Chapter 44: Inexplicable Identity
Until the end of the banquet, Zhao Yu did not make it clear whether Xiao Jingzhi could marry Zhou Jinhuan.
This night, Zhou Jinhuan did not go to the Egret Pavilion again, but followed Zhou Caiwei to Changdeok Palace.
Repatriated the handmaidens around, Zhou Caiwei's expression was still a little panicked, and she made sure that the door was closed tightly before she spoke: "Sister, didn't you run away, how could you be on that occasion?"
"Wei'er, Sister A's heart is very confused, don't ask again, okay?" What do you want her to say, do you want her to say that she escaped twice and was caught and then imprisoned in the Egret Pavilion?
Even if Zhou Caiwei doesn't have any bad intentions towards her, "Sister", if she heard that she was imprisoned by Zhao Yu and knew about the existence of Bailu Pavilion, she must be wary of her.
"Well, okay, sister, Wei'er doesn't know what you've been through, but from now on, you will live in Changdeokgung Palace, and no one will dare to embarrass you. Zhou Caiwei's words did not make Zhou Jinhuan's anxious heart better, she was actually a little worried about Ah Cheng, although the child was cold, but she did regard her as a relative.
There was no warning of her reunion with Zhou Caiwei, she didn't even mention to Ah Cheng about going to the banquet in advance, and she didn't know how long she was going to stay in Changdeok Palace, so what would happen to Ah Cheng, would she be worried?
"Your Majesty......" I don't know if she was thinking too much, and it wasn't until Zhou Caiwei saluted that she realized that Zhao Yu had come to her.
"Wei'er, you go out first, I have something to say to her. ”
"Your Majesty, Sister She ......"
"Don't let me say it a second time. ”
Zhou Caiwei went out very obediently, and glanced at Zhou Jinhuan with a little worry before leaving, Zhou Jinhuan nodded slightly, signaling to reassure her.
"'I promise you to like me, I promise you a lifetime', Zhou Jinhuan, are you too deep in the play?" had long thought that he would be sarcastic, so she was not surprised when he said this.
To be honest, if it weren't for herself who said those meaty words at the banquet, she would have laughed at those words for being too sour and sour.
"Zhao Yu, what are you going to do, is it interesting to humiliate me so much in public?" Thinking that she was standing there like a fool at the beginning, because she was ashamed and worried, she didn't dare to look at Xiao Jingzhi's eyes, and now she felt unbearable.
"You don't have to be impatient to go with him, why are you afraid of what I say?"
Zhao Yu forced Zhou Jinhuan to the corner of the table, his face was very ugly.
The so-called good women don't fight with men, and when she noticed Zhao Yu's unhappy mood, Zhou Jinhuan softened, sat on the chair, and muttered: "What should be said, what shouldn't be said, didn't the emperor say it all?"
When the two of them talked alone, she rarely called him "Emperor", and now this is nothing more than giving him face.
Zhao Yu must not have thought that she would admit it so quickly and please herself, but she didn't know how to react for a while.
Zhou Jinhuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief: Damn, it's good to say something soft, otherwise maybe I will be pinched again at this time, and listen to him say those words that make people incomprehensible.
"I can allow you and Xiao Jingzhi to do things, but it's just ......" As long as Zhao Yu says the turning word, there must be no good thing, Zhou Jinhuan didn't react, just waited for him to continue, he looked at her very leisurely appearance, and asked rhetorically: "You don't seem to care at all, could it be that you don't want to be with Xiao Jingzhi?"
"What did the emperor and Jing Zhi say?" she diverted the topic, knowing that she was more curious about what the two of them talked about after the banquet.
"Zhou Jinhuan, can you guarantee your loyalty to me?" After a while, Zhao Yu said a joke, Zhou Jinhuan almost broke the work, and said: "You know, Da Wei was destroyed by my own hands." ”
She only said half a sentence, and the second half was: What else can you expect me to be loyal to?
But Zhao Yu was obviously wrong, his expression was unbelievably soft, and he said something that made people completely confused: "Jin Huan, what I promised you before will definitely be fulfilled to you." ”
Zhou Jinhuan had a bunch of black question marks here, racking his brains to carefully recall the plot in the novel, as if there was nothing else except that he had promised to marry her.
He, isn't he telling the truth, it's rare that he didn't use the self-righteous "I" instead of "I", this is ready to play the emotional card?
There are not many descriptions in the novel about Zhou Jinhuan's killing of the former Wei Emperor, but it must be similar to what Zhao Yu said to himself, thinking of this, Zhou Jinhuan's heart was even colder, and he was not in a hurry to explain his true thoughts, he just wanted to know what he wanted to say next, so that he made such a long foreshadowing.
"You are the princess of the previous dynasty, and few people in the palace know about those people in the court, so I have prepared another identity for you, the adopted daughter of Si Nongqing Zhou Ming. ”
Si Nongqing is in charge of persuading agriculture and mulberry, water conservancy, famine relief and other things, in ancient times, agriculture was the first of all industries, and it was naturally extremely important, Zhao Yu put her next to Zhou Ming can be said to kill two birds with one stone.
However, on the other hand, isn't he afraid that she will pull the strings out of her and let Zhou Ming and Xiao Jingzhi get closer and closer, which will be detrimental to him?
