Chapter 177: The Emperor's Attitude
What caught Shen Shu's eyes was a man wearing a bright yellow dress, looking mighty, a little similar to King Yi, with slightly white temples, and more than half a hundred years old.
For some reason, Shen Shu saw his face, and the memories that kept churning in his mind seemed to be smoothed by a pair of invisible hands.
She could be sureβ
In his previous life, he must have never seen this emperor.
This also means that since she entered the Tai Chi Hall, the pictures that popped up in her mind had nothing to do with him.
Shen Shu's heart was relieved for no reason.
The ghost sent the gods, obviously it should be a very solemn and tense moment-
Shen Shu curled the corners of her lips and smiled at the emperor in front of her who was looking at her silently.
The smile was pure and unblemished, not flattering, flattering, or timid.
Even...... There are also some of her straightforward and cute.
made the emperor who looked at her look slightly stunned, and even more surprised Zhou Jin, who was standing on the side.
Zhou Jinxi has served the emperor for decades and has seen hundreds of people who have met the saint for the first time.
There are those who tremble and sweat profusely; There are those who cower and can't even speak; There are also those who are quiet and cautious; There are also arrogant and unruly ones; Of course, there is no shortage of flattery, even crying......
Can you be like a little girl...... It's the first time I've seen it.
When the emperor's dragon body was not safe, he dared to smirk at the emperor-
This stable county lord is afraid that he is a lack of heart.
The emperor came back to his senses, a pair of phoenix eyes similar to Chu Yi narrowed slightly, and asked majestically, "Do you know who Bai Xin is?" β
Shen Shu was stunned.
She never expected that when she first met the saint, the emperor would directly mention the name of her maternal ancestor.
Shen Shu held back her smile, her eyes drooped slightly, and she replied thoughtfully: "Back to Your Majesty, on the battlefield of Yunjiang, the woman who was beheaded by His Royal Highness King Yi once lied that the courtiers were her daughters and Bai Xin was her father.
After the courtiers went home, they asked their fathers and mothers, and their fathers said that the courtiers' mothers were indeed called Bai Jin, and she was a female doctor with excellent medical skills...... My father and mother really don't know if it's called Bai Xin, my father and mother don't know, and the courtiers have no way of knowing. β
Shen Shu knew in her heart that it was a crime of bullying the monarch to say that her father and mother were adoptive parents.
However, compared to exposing the bloodlines of A-Niang and the third brother in front of others, as long as she doesn't recognize it and her parents don't recognize it, even if she drops blood and tests her relatives, she may not be able to detect it.
From now on, her parents will not risk her being guilty of bullying and admit that she is her own.
There is no such thing as deception.
The emperor looked at her with a burning gaze.
"I can tell you that you are indeed the only blood and blood left in this world by Bai Xin." He asked again: "If Bai Xin is really as the woman said, he is the savior of the first emperor, but he died at the hands of the first emperor, will you feel resentful?" β
When Shen Shu heard this, her heart sank slightly.
This is not easy to answer, and it is impossible to talk nonsense like Fang Cai with the crime of bullying the king, and it will be seen that he will be killed.
Although she didn't know what the relationship between her grandfather and the first emperor was.
It can be inferred from what A-Niang told her that the relationship between her grandfather and the first emperor was not a bad relationship.
However, the grandfather and the first emperor are the same thing-
The attitude of the emperor in front of him towards his ancestors is another matter.
Shen Shu did not forget that the emperor sent King Yi to Yunjiang in order to collect the hundred poisons of Yunjiang.
And the chess father-in-law of the Yunbian Inn also secretly helped Xiao Yuanliang and Zhao Sima.
Almost without hesitation, Shen Shu replied: "The courtiers are panicked and don't know how to answer Your Majesty's question. The courtiers grew up in the Shen family since they were children, and the Shen and Jiang clansmen all regarded the courtiers as their own.
The courtiers grew up carefree in Yunjiang, and in the eyes of the courtiers, the courtiers were the daughters of the Shen family. His Majesty's White Letter...... The courtiers had never seen him, let alone heard of him, and to the courtiers, Bai Xin was undoubtedly the same as a stranger. Being a stranger...... What did he do, why did he die, it has nothing to do with his courtiers, and how can he say resentment? β
These words made the emperor's face sink.
"Ahem...... Cough...... Cough...... You heartless thing. β
He reprimanded in a deep voice: "Have you ever thought that if you are really Bai Xin's blood, why don't you and your mother be blessed by Bai Xin to survive?" If it weren't for him, your mother would have been rebellious and guilty of the same crime as the Medicine King Valley, how could she live to adulthood, and still have medical skills, give birth to you, entrust you to the Shen family, and let you grow up carefree? Now, you actually recognize Bai Xin as a stranger, not only is he heartless, but he is simply a wolf's heart and a dog's lungs! β
In the end, he was unapologetic, and he was clearly angry.
Zhou Jinxi next to him looked at Shen Shu sympathetically.
The emperor attaches the most importance to benevolence, filial piety, courtesy, righteousness, and bloodline inheritance.
Not to mention that Bai Xin Yu had the grace to save his life, but to say that this girl knew that she was Bai Xin's blood and blood, and as soon as she heard that Bai Xin died at the hands of the first emperor, she hurriedly cleared up the relationship. This kind of style of seeing the wind and making the rudder has always been the emperor's least disliked.
Now, I'm afraid that the county lord that this girl has won so hard will have a good future.
When Shen Shu heard the emperor's reproach, instead of panicking, she was relieved.
Her words are not only a wise self-preservation, but also a temptation.
If the emperor approves of her distancing the relationship, it means that he is not the same as the previous emperor.
And now, he stands on the position of Bai Xin, and rebukes without pretense, but to a certain extent, it proves that he may not be ill-intentioned.
Thinking of this, Shen Shu hurriedly knelt down and bowed:
Before the courtier's mother died, she asked her father and mother to tell her that her grandfather had nothing else to ask for, but only wanted her and her descendants to live incognito, like ordinary people, carefree. Although the mother died because of the birth of a courtier, but the life of peace and joy, never resentment, the courtiers are loved by the Shen and Jiang families, and they are also the same as their mothers, grateful and happy.
The whole world is the king's land, and the courtiers and their daughters can have such a life, in addition to the blessing of their ancestors, they must also be grateful for the gifts of the emperor and His Majesty. If it weren't for the pity of the first emperor and His Majesty, who left the blood of our ancestors, our mother and daughter would never have been able to grow up safely on the land of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Therefore, the courtiers regarded their ancestors as 'strangers', not only to respect the ancestors' wishes, but also to express their gratitude and loyalty to the Great Zhou, the first emperor and His Majesty. β
Since the first emperor destroyed the Valley of the Medicine King, he had the intention of destroying the "white" surname of DJI.
From the fact that there is almost no one surnamed Bai in Yunjiang now, it can be seen.
Shen Shu's words, although they were like compliments, were very sincere.
Because she is young, she speaks so eloquently, which sounds like a young man's sincerity.
Even Zhou Jinxi was a little impressed by her.
"Ahem...... Cough...... Ahem......"
The Emperor looked at her in silence for a long time, and his face finally softened slightly.
His eyes fell on the jade pendant on Shen Shu's waist, which was laid out on the ground because of kneeling, and his eyes flashed.
"This dragon and phoenix jade belongs to Shiro?" The Emperor asked suddenly.
Shen Shu was slightly stunned.
Then she remembered that before King Yi was crowned king, he was the fourth prince.
"Exactly." She hurriedly replied: "Your Royal Highness is kind-hearted, sympathetic to the courtiers out of the land, do not understand the etiquette of the capital, afraid that the courtiers will enter the palace to thank the nobles, this jade pendant is given by His Majesty, Hongfu Qitian, yes, His Royal Highness lent the courtiers to block, prevent disasters." β
She didn't dare to say the "life-saving benefactor" and the like in front of the emperor.
"Disaster prevention?"
The Emperor was stunned, amused by her words.
"This dragon and phoenix jade was given to him by me to pass on to his children and grandchildren in the future. Do you know what he gave it to you for? β
