Chapter 75: Heartbeat
Xie Yanhe knew in his heart that the question she raised was simply to embarrass Emperor Jianyuan.
How can a high emperor have a love for children in his heart. What's more, Xie Yanhe is very self-aware, even if Emperor Jianyuan likes her again, in public and private, she cannot be more important than the prince of a country.
But what Xie Yanhe didn't expect was that although Emperor Jianyuan showed his deeds in annoyance, and his handsome face was full of gloomy and murderous looks, he still gave her an answer seriously, and put her in a more important position than the prince.
Xie Yanhe's mood was complicated for a while, her eyelashes trembled slightly, her red lips opened, but she didn't know what to say, and couldn't help but be stunned.
Wei Zhao looked at Xie Yan and Jiao Han with a hint of stupidity, and a pair of ink eyes suddenly deepened.
Xie Yanhe's expression was a little unbelievable, a little caught off guard, and a little shallow shyness, his eyes were really like autumn water, and his face was like a peach blossom.
After experiencing the initial embarrassment, Wei Zhao's emotions had calmed down. His thin lips were raised, and a warm smile appeared on his cold face, and a pair of deep black eyes looked at the girl in front of him quietly, and chuckled: "I have already answered your question, for the sake of fairness, should you also answer my question?" ”
"Your Majesty......" Xie Yanhe never thought that she was originally making things difficult for Emperor Jianyuan, but now, the dilemma has become herself.
"How do I know if His Majesty is telling the truth?" Xie Yan and Feather Eyelashes narrowed slightly, and their black glass-like eyes turned slyly.
Wei Zhao's tone was light: "I have a word!" ”
Wei Zhao said these words very slowly, almost word by word, with an unquestionable coldness.
Xie Yanhe heard a hint of tenderness from it.
In the face of such Emperor Jianyuan, Xie Yanhe's hidden careful thoughts disappeared in an instant. She suddenly felt that her lips were dry, and she couldn't help but purse the corners of her lips, and her voice was faint: "Your Majesty, please speak." ”
Wei Zhao's ink eyes revealed a touch of sharpness, his gaze firmly locked on the girl in front of him, and the light in his eyes was like a blade, sharp enough to tear everything apart.
"Mianmian, do you have me in your heart?"
The man's voice was low and magnetic, like a golden stone colliding with each other, and the unique sound hit the eardrums, making Xie Yanhe's face hot for a while.
Xie Yanhe quietly lowered his head, his earlobes as soft and moist as white jade were so red that they could almost drip blood.
"Your Majesty......" Xie Yan and the people hiding under the eyelashes swept over a courtyard, including the Qinglongwei beside Emperor Jianyuan, the half-dead Chen Ze and the subordinates of the Chen Mansion, as well as the guards and maids of the Xie family.
Xie Yanhe's teeth bit her lips hard, just now she was carried away by anger, and she would be in front of everyone, like a little lady who met Bo Xinglang, pestering Emperor Jianyuan for an answer. There is really no reserve of a woman and the posture of a noblewoman.
Now, Xie Yanhe came to his senses completely, and instantly understood why the emperor who was so high up in the sky was so angry and embarrassed.
In addition to remorse, she looked at Emperor Jianyuan expectantly, and a pair of peach blossom eyes seemed to be full of a thousand words.
"Your Majesty, I'm a little tired, can I get into the carriage and talk about it."
Wei Zhao raised his eyebrows, he was still aggressive just now, he didn't look like a little lady who hadn't come out of the cabinet, but now he knew that he was embarrassed? !
He snorted, after all, he was reluctant to embarrass her, pressed his palm on the shoulder of the girl Ruyu, and said lightly: "Follow me to the car." ”
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Xie Yanhe secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately smiled like a bright flower towards Emperor Jianyuan without hesitation.
The flattery on the girl's face was too obvious, and Wei Zhao just wanted to shake his head, this well-behaved little thing!
"Your Majesty, I don't know what Chen will do?"
Seeing that the emperor was about to leave, Kong Siquan hurriedly stepped forward, he bowed to the emperor and asked respectfully.
There was a strange voice with a little hoarse and gloomy in his ears. Xie Yanhe's gaze followed, and only then did he realize that there was an unfamiliar face beside Emperor Jianyuan.
This person is of medium stature, wearing the uniform of a palace attendant, judging from the color and embroidery on the clothes, the grade should not be low.
But unlike Feng Hui and Feng Ying, the handsome and elegant father and son, this person has a gloomy face and a sense of unsightliness.
"Your Majesty, who is this?" In front of Emperor Jianyuan, Xie Yanhe interjected directly.
Wei Zhao not only did not have half a look of displeasure, but said softly: "This is the palace supervisor Kong Siquan, he has a private house in Wutong Alley, if you encounter something difficult in the future, you can send someone to find him." ”
Although Kong Siquan has a gloomy personality, his appearance is not pleasant. But he is very good at observing words and feelings, and he can understand the meaning better than Feng Ying, and when he heard the words, he immediately bowed to Xie Yanhe, and said very respectfully: "Slave Kong Siquan, I have seen the county lord of Yonghe. In the future, the county lord has orders, and the slave will never give up. ”
"Hole surveillance." Xie Yanhe nodded very reservedly, and looked at the mandarin duck on the side.
The mandarin duck heard the song and knew the elegance, and immediately took out a large handful of thin gold leaves from his sleeve.
Seeing this, Kong Siquan was very frightened, and hurriedly excused himself: "The slave doesn't dare!" ”
"Since it was given to you by the county lord of Yonghe, take it." Wei Zhao carelessly stroked the sleeves of Xuanxi's clothes, and didn't even distinguish a look: "Throw Chen Ze to Dali Temple, and let it be tried again." ”
Kong Siquan's expression froze, and he hurriedly responded: "Yes, Your Majesty!" ”
Kong Siquan made a gesture, and immediately two guards dragged Chen Ze, who was already seriously injured and unconscious, into an inconspicuous carriage.
Wei Zhao led Xie Yanhe to the front of the palace car, and without waiting for the eunuch to bring the footstool, Wei Zhao lifted his robe, took a step, and jumped directly into the carriage. The whole action is smooth and very pleasing to the eye.
"Sleepy, come up." Wei Zhao stretched out his arm towards Xie Yanhe.
Xie Yan and her long, curly eyelashes trembled, a tangled color flashed in her peach blossom eyes, she bit her lips lightly, and hesitantly handed over a pair of soft wattles......
The boneless hands were instantly wrapped in a pair of warm palms, Xie Yan and her fingertips trembled, as if she was burned by the temperature on Emperor Jianyuan's hands, and she subconsciously retracted her fingers.
Wei Zhao grabbed her hand, and his arm was ......
A small exclamation escaped from Xie Yanhe's lips, and in the midst of a whirlwind, the person had already arrived in the carriage.
The inside of the carriage was covered with a thick blanket of fox felt, and a corner of the carriage was lit with fragrant, elegant sandalwood. Upholstery, couches, low tables, tea sets, food boxes, all available. The interior of the carriage is spacious enough to accommodate four or five people at the same time, and the roof and walls are made of brass, engraved with auspicious dragon ruyi, bat holding longevity patterns, and decorated with ivory, tortoiseshell, turquoise, agate, lapis lazuli and other things, which can be seen to be rich and luxurious.
"Your Majesty is enjoying it like this in private?"
Xie Yanhe's gaze withdrew from the various colored gems inlaid on the inner wall of the carriage, and she suddenly felt that the tall image of Emperor Jianyuan in her heart was a little disillusioned.
A carriage randomly pulled out of the palace is so luxurious, and the people of the world still think that the Son of Heaven has a simple style and does not like extravagance. It turned out to be just rumors.
Wei Zhao was stunned by what Xie Yanhe said, and then, he said with a playful face: "I haven't said you yet!" If you dare to bribe the minions around me in front of me, you will 'sue the wicked first'. ”
"Isn't this the custom in the palace? Your Majesty, don't you usually open one eye and close one eye? How did you come to me and become a sin? Xie Yanhe pursed his lips unhappily and asked confidently.
"I really can't talk about you."
When the water is clear, there are no fish, and when people are observed, there are no fugitives. As long as he can do his errands well and don't make any big mistakes, Wei Zhao is not a very strict person.
Therefore, for the 'convention' mentioned in Xie Yanhe's words, Wei Zhao only laughed it off.
"This carriage is what I am going to give you." Wei Zhao said leisurely.
"Now, do you still say that I am extravagant?" Wei Zhao had a smile on his face.
"Your Majesty!" Xie Yan and Sakura's lips opened slightly, and her surprised voice trembled a little, "But this, the carving on this ......" is carved with a dragon pattern.
In the whole world, in addition to the emperor, he is the lord of the middle palace, and if there is a dragon pattern on the daily utensils, it is a violation.
"I ordered the generals to be the prisoners and let them make a safe, strong, and assassination-proof carriage, but I didn't expect these people to be clever enough to carve dragon patterns on the carriage, and it was too late to restructure it."
When Wei Zhao said this, his sword eyebrows raised slightly, and his low, magnetic voice was majestic and domineering: "You can rest assured that it is what I gave you, who dares to put a beak!" ”
Xie Yanhe was silent, with an expression that didn't know what to say. Seeing that Emperor Jianyuan had made up her mind, she could only reluctantly accept it: "Thank you, Your Majesty." It's just that the soft tone clearly reveals a hint of reluctance.
The girl's slightly bulging little face looks like a bulging pufferfish. It's cute and delicate, and the heart of the person who sees it is about to melt.
Wei Zhao laughed in his heart, he coughed pretending to be serious, and said in a deep voice: "Mianmian, you haven't answered my question yet. ”
Xie Yanhe instantly seemed to be choked by the throat, her red lips opened, and a pair of peach blossom eyes flashed with anticipation, and after a while, she muttered: "Your Majesty, I ...... I ......" She couldn't say a word for a long time.
Wei Zhao was extremely patient, his eagle-like sharp gaze firmly grasped the girl in front of him, and a huge whirlpool seemed to surge in the depths of his ink eyes, which could suck people's souls in.
Xie Yanhe's eyes as clear as water trembled. She didn't want to deceive Emperor Jianyuan, let alone deceive herself.
When Emperor Jianyuan said the words "she is more important" to her, a strange wave suddenly appeared in her heart, like a spark of fire, which was originally so small that it was almost negligible, but under Emperor Jianyuan's scorching gaze, it suddenly became a prairie fire......
Xie Yanhe's heart was pounding, and the disordered rhythm seemed to rush out of his chest. She said with difficulty: "Your Majesty, I ...... I do not know. ”
Wei Zhao had already guessed that the little girl would shrink into the shell that made her feel safe. But through those talking eyes, he had already guessed the answer.
Mianmian is not completely disgusted with herself, or even ...... Wei Zhao could not see such emotions in her eyes now. Instead, there was a thick confusion and a hint of heartbeat in her eyes.
The identity between herself and her was a huge barrier for her, making her nervous, and she was afraid that she would abandon her at any time.
Wei Zhao felt a strong sense of distress in his heart.
Although Mianmian is the proud daughter of the sky, her father died early, and her biological mother followed her father; The elder brother is in the northwest, and her grandmother is amiable and doting on her on the surface, but behind the scenes, she is full of calculation and malice. No wonder she was so insecure.
"Mianmian, I won't force you."
A long sigh escaped from Wei Zhao's throat, and he took the struggling little girl into his embrace, and tenderly and pitifully dropped a kiss on her smooth forehead.
"I said that from now on, I will be your dependence. I'll never let go of your hand! ”
Xie Yanhe's delicate body trembled slightly, and thick tears welled up in her peach blossom eyes. Crystal tears rolled down from the tear-stained cheeks, and the hot temperature seemed to fall on Wei Zhao's heart.
"Your Majesty, I ......"
"Shhh......hhh ”
Xie Yanhe couldn't help but hold Emperor Jianyuan's arm, she endured the embarrassment, quietly nestled in the man's arms, and her once anxious heart was a rare peace.
