What happened before and after, as expected, she had guessed before that it must be because of this reason that the emperor was particularly angry, and it was true.

In the emperor's opinion, she was ignoring the royal face at that time, but in fact, the things that the two of them were thinking about at that time were fundamentally different.

Therefore, when he heard Hua Qingyan open his mouth to defend himself, the emperor also had a slightly incredible look on his face.

"Oh? I don't understand what you mean by saying this now? Are you trying to tell me that you didn't think you would be disgraced by doing so? ”

"It can be said that this is the case, and it can also be said that I already feel regret after I finished speaking, but I can swear to the emperor that I have never had any thoughts of insulting the royal family from beginning to end, after all, the queen has the grace of knowing me."

"And when dealing with the plague, the Nine Emperor Princes and the Five Princes have been helping me, they are all people close to me, how could I want to hurt them?"

After hearing Hua Qingyan say such words to himself, the emperor had a slightly puzzled look on his face, but in the end he still laughed, and he couldn't stop shaking his head while laughing.

"I won't listen to your nonsense here, if you really want to tell me, then it's even more so."

"I know that in the emperor's opinion, I have broken the hearts of the two of them, but can I ask the emperor to think about it from my point of view, after all, I am a girl who has not left the cabinet, and it is also an extremely heavy matter for me to be confessed by two people at the same time at a banquet."

"After all, I've never experienced it before, didn't the emperor hear it at that time? Everyone is ridiculing me and questioning me, they may not believe that a little Hua Qingyan has such ability to make the two princes like her, and everyone looks down on me. ”

Hua Qingyan shook her head helplessly as she spoke, and after the emperor heard her defense, he was somehow attracted by her words, at least Hua Qingyan said it well.

At that time, the emperor really didn't think about this aspect, but now that I think about it carefully, all the discussions among the ministers at that time were about Hua Qingyan, and they seemed to be talking about her.

"Actually, I don't hide it from the emperor, in fact, I have always had a good impression of one of the two princes. But in that case, if I rashly say what I want, I will definitely offend the other one extraordinarily, and I will definitely make the other one a laughing stock in the capital from now on. ”

"One of them is someone I like, and the other is my friend, I really can't bear to hurt them, but also for the sake of my own face, I have no choice but to choose not to, in fact, I don't want to hurt the royal family at all."

Hua Qingyan said everything she had in mind with great patience and sincerity, and now all the words she said were out of a sense of sincerity.

Although the queen told her that she only needed to apologize to the emperor and admit her mistakes, Hua Qingyan felt that if the conditions permitted, she could of course tell all the causes and consequences of this whole thing.

In this way, so that the emperor can understand her, her apology can be real and useful, and there will be no unnecessary gap between her and the emperor in the future.

After saying such words to the emperor sincerely and seriously, seeing that he was staring at him at this time, his brows were furrowed tightly, Hua Qingyan knew that he was listening attentively, so he immediately added.

"But if you do something wrong, you do something wrong, there is really no room for quibbling, I am here today just to explain to the emperor. However, if I had to accept any punishment, I would gladly accept it, and I deserved it. ”

"I only hope that the emperor will stop complaining about me because of this matter, Qingyan really knows that he is wrong, and this will never happen in the future, and Qingyan will never do this again, I beg the emperor to forgive me."

After finishing speaking, Hua Qingyan stood up from the chair, knowing that at this time her leg sensation had not fully recovered, but even so, she still forced herself to kneel down and bowed respectfully to the emperor to show her respect for him.

It wasn't until he saw this scene that the emperor seemed to finally come back to his senses, he took a deep breath, and hurriedly waved his hand at Hua Qingyan who was kneeling on the ground.

"Stand up, you don't have to stay on your knees to talk to me, just sit there. Don't worry, so many days have passed since this incident, and even if I have a grudge against you, it has already dissipated a lot, and now there is only a star and a half left. ”

The emperor opened his mouth lightly, when he heard him say this to himself, Hua Qingyan didn't mention how happy he was in his heart, wouldn't this mean that the emperor agreed with his words?

"Speaking of which, isn't your emperor angry with me anymore? But I haven't been punished yet! ”

But even so, Hua Qingyan, who should be modest, must continue to be modest, she knows what this group of people really wants and needs.

If she really wanted to be forgiven, she could only pretend that she didn't know anything, and after hearing Hua Qingyan say this, the emperor couldn't help laughing. At the same time, he looked at her with meaningful eyes.

"I didn't expect that there would really be people who would do everything they could to get punished, and it seems that I can't give you this punishment. But before that, I thought carefully about what you said, and it seems that this is indeed the case. ”

"You're right, but if you choose any of them, the other will be disgruntled, and the others will be ridiculed. In fact, I have always known that the Nine Emperors and the Five Princes are extremely incompatible, and it is not easy for the two of them to be able to work together because of this incident, and I don't want them to continue to give up their brotherhood. ”

When she heard the emperor say this to herself, Hua Qingyan was still a little incredible, and looked at the emperor with eyes full of curiosity, and only after a while did she open her mouth tremblingly.

"Ah, so the emperor actually knew all along, right?"

"Yes, I've always known about it."

"At that time, I was indeed too angry, and it seems that in the past two days, there are not many ministers who have been discussing this matter, even if they talk about it, it is all about Hua Qingyan, you are not bad, so you can rest assured."

Listening to the emperor and himself say such a straightforward thing, Hua Qingyan didn't know what to do for a while, and there was an extremely embarrassed smile on her face.

"Really......"

Since he understood that the emperor finally understood himself and would no longer have too many opinions about himself because of this matter, Hua Qingyan's whole person was much more relaxed.

So she felt that the atmosphere in the entire imperial study room had finally eased a little, but she didn't expect the emperor's inquiry to follow.

"By the way, I don't want to pursue you at this time, but I want to know, the Fifth Prince and the Nine Emperors, I don't know which one you like?"

When she heard the emperor ask about this topic to herself, Hua Qingyan was slightly stunned for a moment, and even wanted to wail.

God, it's really the king of a country, as an emperor, how can he have such gossip when he wants to tell him?
