Chapter 67: What a Strange Woman
"Today's thing! No one is allowed to show off, if it insults the royal dignity, don't blame me for being ruthless! ”
Wei Zhaohua knelt on the ground and followed everyone to answer, "Yes." ”
Just when Wei Zhaohua thought that this matter was over, the old emperor suddenly walked up to Wei Zhaohua and helped Wei Zhaohua with his own hands. "I still have something to ask you, so come with me!"
Wei Zhaohua bowed in a proper manner, "Yes." ”
Cheng An helped the old emperor to walk to the front, Wei Zhaohua followed behind, and Shen Cuobai, who was left, dealt with the things behind. Wei Zhaohua bowed to Youyou and Anyang before leaving, and the two of them nodded knowingly.
When she followed the old emperor to the palace, Wei Zhaohua really didn't expect that the old emperor would actually receive her in the Taiji Palace.
"Courtier Wei Zhaohua see the emperor, long live my emperor, long live long live!" Wei Zhaohua knelt on the ground and saluted the old emperor.
The old emperor walked up the high steps and sat on the dragon chair above with Cheng An's support, looking at Wei Zhaohua who was kneeling, making it difficult to see the expression on his face. "Do you know what this place is?"
"Tai Chi Temple." Wei Zhaohua replied quietly.
"Yes, this is the place where I meet the civil and military officials every morning, and there are usually no women here, and none of the young ladies of the family like you are qualified to kneel here." The old emperor narrowed his eyes, wanting to see Wei Zhaohua's expression clearly, but he moved his eyes to the side in disappointment, because Wei Zhaohua still didn't change his face after hearing the old emperor's words.
"Courtiers, thank you for the emperor's favor!" Wei Zhaohua said nonchalantly, when she was called the Demon Queen in the previous life, it was the most common thing to go in and out here.
"This is not a grace, I just think that only here can be worthy of you, after all, there are only a handful of women who can trespass into the autumn hunting grounds. Your mother counts as one, you count as one! "The old emperor's words make people can't hear the emotion, if others say it, it must be a sarcastic thing, but the old emperor doesn't feel that way when he says it.
Wei Zhaohua had long guessed that it would not be good for the old emperor to call him over, and he had revealed the ugliness of the royal family, how could the old emperor treat himself well? "The courtiers are guilty, there is the will of His Royal Highness the Prince in the autumn hunting ground, and the courtiers dare not disobey."
Wei Zhaohua knew in his heart that if he didn't bring out the reason that Shen Cuobai thought of at this time, then when he questioned Shen Cuobai like this in the old emperor, everything would only be more difficult to explain, as long as the two of them bit this reason, things have passed for so long, what can the old emperor change?
Wei Zhaohua didn't notice that the old emperor on the dragon chair smiled faintly after hearing Wei Zhaohua's words. "You're different from ordinary young ladies of the family, but it's really an eye-opener for me! But the women in the world, the pursuit is just a wishful husband, Rao is a person like your mother, and in the end she still chooses your father and returns to the dust. What about you? What kind of Langjun do you want? ”
"A woman wants a wishful husband, but she just wants to be able to spend her life in peace and tranquility, but if she goes astray, wouldn't it be a waste of this life. In Zhaohua's heart, instead of pinning hopes on others, it is better to be a good woman, and at the right time, God will naturally not treat me badly. ”
Wei Zhaohua replied softly, this is exactly what she thinks in her heart. There are so many things now, where is there time to fall in love, even if it is Shen Cuobai, he is already thinking about his affairs after revenge.
Regarding Wei Zhaohua's reaction, the old emperor was particularly interested, "If you don't pursue it, how can you get the right person?" Some people like supreme honor and dignity like a queen. Some people like to be unbridled and happy. If a woman like Miss Wei can enter the harem or the East Palace, she will definitely be rich and glorious in the future, and she will enjoy endless benefits. ”
Wei Zhaohua kowtowed to the old emperor and didn't get up, "The emperor forgives the sin!" The courtiers are not so ambitious, but wish that they will be safe and free from external things! ”
The old emperor was surprised for a moment, and then laughed, "I'm just joking!" Today, you helped Commander Jiang and Master Su, and naturally you also helped me, so whatever reward you want, just say it! ”
Wei Zhaohua saw that the old emperor was no longer entangled in lifelong affairs, got up from the ground, and looked at the old emperor seriously, "Is the emperor's words serious?" ”
"Naturally, it's true, what the emperor said, will he still deceive the eldest lady?" Cheng An couldn't help but laugh on the side, in this world, there are still people who question what the emperor said?
"What the emperor said may not be true, just like today's events, if there is no emperor's instructions, I am afraid that the courtiers will not be in such a big limelight!"
The old emperor's eyes widened, looked at Wei Zhaohua on the ground, and said with some puzzlement. "How do you know?"
"How could someone like my uncle be willing to live in a prison cell unless someone instructed him to do so. And there is only one person in the world who can make my uncle do things! Besides, what they said is not right at all, and it is obvious that some testimonies have been carried out in a hurry without even thinking of you, and only you know the things in this matter, right? ”
The old emperor laughed, "I didn't expect that you, a little woman, would be able to see it!" Wei Qingshan has been too comfortable all these years, and since Su Chengtuo is back, he is naturally more useful than him, so I don't want to keep him, so I will let Su Chengtuo and Jiang Heng act in such a play. ”
"But there is still something unknown about the courtier." Wei Zhaohua opened her mouth, she had already got the answers she wanted today, and there was only this one. "Why did the emperor want to throw this question on me?"
"Because His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has feelings for you, he is the crown prince, and I can't help but guard against anyone around him!" The old emperor said sharply, "If he doesn't have power in his hands, how can he make the civil and military officials submit!" Wei Qingshan is doing nothing with military power, it is better to give it to the prince, it is also a bargaining chip! ”
The old emperor got up from his seat and walked down slowly, this time the surprising Cheng An wanted to help the old emperor but was rejected by the old emperor, Cheng An could only follow the old emperor cautiously, for fear that the old emperor would accidentally bump into him.
"What about you? Tell me how you know this is my game! The old emperor said with some curiosity, he has been in a high position for many years, and these tricks are easy for him, but being able to make people not notice is the successful trick of tricks.
"When I went to visit my uncle in the prison, my uncle said that his talisman was different from others, only Jiang Heng and Wei Qingshan's talisman were the same, so there was a matter of me stealing Wei Qingshan's talisman, which was also their guidance. But I have a bigger discovery, that is, all the talismans are actually the same, so what is my uncle doing this for? ”
Wei Zhaohua continued, "How could a cautious person like Jiang Heng lose the talisman? Besides, I don't think that the token of my mother's Yipin Lady can have so much power to pass through the prison and break into Dali Temple safely? Unless someone has already done their job, they are already waiting for me. ”
"And then?" The old emperor asked with a smile, looking at Wei Zhaohua's eyes, a little more probing. There are too many surprises or frightens brought by this woman, I wonder what else will be?
"Or maybe I asked Cheng'an's father-in-law, after the trial of Dali Temple, what did the emperor say in your ear, so that you, who were already preparing to go out, retreated after seeing me, isn't it the emperor asking you to look for me?"
Cheng An was a little stunned when asked, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.
"What a strange woman with a sharp mind! Let you say exactly what you say. The talisman handed over by the guards was Jiang Heng's, and the letter was also written by Jiang Heng himself, I just want to see what you can do! ”
Wei Zhaohua smiled softly, "No! That squire is your man, isn't he? Dali Temple can cooperate with me like that, and you also have your instructions! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is still indifferent to the framing of his former subordinates, and he must have guessed the emperor's intentions. Jiang Heng is young and vigorous, his uncle is in a high position, the two of them don't care about this matter, and they must mention it, so they know that no matter what the result is, you will definitely keep them! ”
The old emperor listened to Wei Zhaohua's words with great interest, but he was shocked in his heart, and he didn't expect that everything he did would be guessed by Wei Zhaohua. This Wei Zhaohua, what else has not been revealed?
"I appreciate your cleverness, but it's not necessarily a good thing for a woman to be too smart."
"What the emperor has done, there must be a reason for you, and being able to be chosen by the emperor is also a blessing for the courtiers. The courtiers won't talk about it, but you must also be the talker! Wei Zhaohua said without fear.
The old emperor looked at Wei Zhaohua's eyes, and after thinking for a long time, he realized that Wei Zhaohua was talking about rewards. The old emperor had a smile on his face, but Wei Zhaohua saw that the smile did not reach the bottom of his eyes. "That's nature, what reward do you want?"
Wei Zhaohua saluted the old emperor again, "The courtiers want a name, a name that can protect the courtiers!" Although I helped Master Su and Commander Jiang in today's matter, I also offended my biological father and the four princes, if they have any dissatisfaction, they will naturally blame someone who has nothing with me! ”
The old emperor thought for a moment and nodded, "I know." I'll give you a reasonable answer if I think about it, so go back first. ”
Wei Zhaohua couldn't guess the old emperor's thoughts, so he could only quietly retreat. The inside of the Taiji Hall was too dim, and Wei Zhaohua, who had left the Taiji Hall, was still a little relieved, and the sunlight outside was shining on him. Before she could stretch out her hand to block the sun, she saw that someone had already blocked it for her.
