Chapter 153: Identity
Before Gu Nian could respond, Chu Yanran continued, "I'm here at this time, presumably the princess also knows what I mean. I am willing to testify with the princess, go to His Majesty to reveal my identity, and rescue His Royal Highness. ”
"How do you know about me..."Gu Nian's words froze in his mouth.
Chu Yanran is so smart, the saintess of Shangyuan, she has also been mixed in the troubled dynasty of Shangyuan.
"Zhou Zhao doesn't know your true identity?" Gu Nian asked again.
Chu Yanran nodded and smiled proudly, "I don't know, he has only seen my junior brother, but he has never seen me." ”
For some reason, when Chu Yanran talked about her little brother, there was always a faint smile on her face.
"You are the Shangyuan Holy Maiden, how could Zhou Zhao not secretly investigate your details?" Gu Nian knew it in his heart, but he was still a little uneasy.
"Don't worry, he definitely doesn't know my true identity, and I can't tell you more." Chu Yanran was a little taboo and shallow and deep.
In the afternoon, Gu Nian handed a letter of worship to the palace.
It stands to reason that the saint is still angry now, and he rejected her post three times in a row.
It wasn't until the fourth time, under Yu Jingyan's persuasion, that His Majesty allowed her to enter the palace to face the saint.
Gu Nian found that every time he entered the palace, it was not because of any good thing.
The first time, when I first came to this world, I learned that I was going to be the little wife of the old emperor, the second time, because I was going to marry Yu Zeyan, and the third time, I entered the palace and was targeted by Zhou Zhao...
She was a little nervous in her heart, but she still had to bite the bullet.
The hall was extremely silent, only Zhou Zhao was playing chess with the emperor.
This is a rare sight of the prime minister of a vassal state playing chess with the emperor of the Celestial Empire.
The two of them played chess very interestingly, the air pressure in the hall was low, and every move was a deliberate decision made after careful consideration.
Just when the battle was stalemate for a long time, Gu Nian's arrival was not a good excuse to interrupt the chess game.
"Your Majesty, the princess of Changning is here." Gonggong Zhu came back and forth with small steps.
"Announce it." The emperor frowned, and instantly put aside the chess pieces in his hand.
Zhou Zhao's face didn't change, he didn't think that he would win this chess game at all.
After such a stalemate for a long time, there is face, and it doesn't matter if you can't get down.
"It seems that Your Majesty has a guest, so the minister will retire first." Zhou Zhao slowly got up, bowed slightly, and prepared to retire.
Before he could take two steps, he met Chu Yanran, who was bumping into him.
He was stunned, what are the people from Shangyuan Che doing here?
"It just so happens that Lord Zhou is also here, why don't you come and listen to it together?"
Seeing Zhou Zhao, who was stunned, Gu Nian stopped directly. This was the first time Gu Nian had faced Zhou Zhao since that night, and her eyes were full of anger when she looked at Zhou Zhao.
Her hands gripped the hem of her skirt so hard that the corners of her dress were out of shape. If she hadn't come today to save Yu Zeyan, she might have wanted to kill Zhou Zhao on the spot.
As if knowing what Gu Nian was thinking, Zhou Zhao didn't speak, but just raised the corner of his mouth and smiled slightly.
"The princess?" Zhu Gonggong reminded.
Gu Nian came back to his senses at this time.
"The courtiers take care of your majesty." Gu Nian and Chu Yanran stepped forward and made a big salute respectfully.
"Why are you here?" The Emperor looked at her with interest, his fingers tapping on the table, as if he was thinking about something.
Before Gu Nian could speak, he first bowed down again.
"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Prince has been wronged!" Gu Nian straightened up, the expression on her face was very grim, she looked firmly at the Emperor of Heaven who was not far above in front of her, and she had never lost anyone.
"You say he was wronged, he was wronged?" The Emperor sighed and asked rhetorically.
"What His Royal Highness said about the relationship is too close, and it doesn't exist at all. The first girl is a famous doctor in Shangyuan, and the courtier's daughter has been unwell recently, and the national players in the hospital have not seen it, so the prince panicked and begged the first girl of Shangyuan. Gu Nian replied in a serious way.
The emperor snorted and did not speak, and he could not conclude anything based on his own words alone.
Zhou Zhao, who was watching the play silently, slowly opened his mouth: "As far as I know, you are a person from Shang Yuanche, and you are not a medical woman in the mission, do you know what the crime of deceiving Your Majesty is?" ”
His voice was cold, with a little ruthlessness in his casualness, if it was an ordinary woman, she would definitely be frightened by his expression.
But Chu Yanran is not an ordinary woman after all, she is not nervous, and she can even look at Zhou Zhao without being humble or arrogant.
Zhou Zhao turned around and took two steps to the front of the hall, and arched his hand at the emperor and said: "Your Majesty, the foreign minister is the chief envoy of the mission, and the ministers in the entire mission have three points. The woman standing in front of you now, surnamed Chu Mingyuan, is the maid beside the prince of Shangyuan, how can she say that she is a doctor? ”
"Your Majesty, the courtier's daughter is not a junior daughter, but the courtier's daughter is indeed a medical girl, and her surname is Chu, and her name is Yanran." Chu Yanran was blessed.
Chu Yanran?
Zhou Zhao's heart was stunned, how did he hear this good student familiar.
He thought about it, and it was clear where he had heard it.
The emperor, who was not far away, frowned slightly, he stroked the beard under his chin, and asked tentatively, "Do you know Anjia?" ”
Chu Yanran nodded, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, "The person Your Majesty said is the master of the courtier." ”
Anja? Anja is her master? Zhou Zhao was completely stunned this time. Could it be that the woman in front of her is the Shangyuan saintess who rarely appears?
The Holy Maiden of Shangyuan is the glory of the canonization of King Shangyuan himself, but for some reason, few people have seen her true face, let alone know who her surname is.
I only know that she is a little apprentice under the medical saint Anjia.
Zhou Zhao tried to win over the medical saint to his door several times, but the old thing didn't enter firewood, rice, oil and salt at all, and the coercion and temptation all failed.
"Your master, how are you doing lately?" Somehow, the emperor's expression suddenly softened a little. But those present did not see a change in his mood.
Also, not everyone has the courage to stare at the face of the Son of Heaven and observe it carefully.
"Back to Your Majesty, everything is fine Master." Chu Yanran's answer was concise and to the point.
"The last time I saw her, it was a few years ago, and I don't know how she and Zheng Jin's old puppet are doing."
Why did His Majesty start cursing while talking?
Wait a minute... If Zheng Jin is an old horseman, then An Jia is a woman?
The medical saint turned out to be a woman?! It looks like Her Majesty is quite familiar with her...
Gu Nian was a little stunned, she felt that this scene had completely changed its taste, not like rescuing Yu Zeyan, but like a confession meeting.
"Your Majesty, I came here under a pseudonym this time, and it is also Master's entrustment, I want to return something to Your Majesty for Master." Chu Yanran said softly.
"Oh? What is it? The emperor seemed to be looking forward to it, and he couldn't wait to get off the couch and personally helped Chu Yanran up.
"What's that?" His eyes were shining, and if it weren't for Gu Nian quietly observing from the side, he wouldn't have dared to believe his eyes.
