Chapter 36: Seeking Rewards

The pothos was frightened, and when she turned around, she saw that the noble man in a brocade robe had come behind them.

She knelt down with a "plop" and asked for peace in awe: "Long live the emperor, long live, long live, long live......"

Ah Jiu couldn't help but sigh, the servile instinct reacted really quickly.

Seeing that she was still standing upright, Luluo couldn't help but secretly pull the corner of her skirt.

A hint of reluctance flashed on Ah Jiu's face, this man who had ordered to cut off her head, let her kneel, she felt aggrieved. But the current situation can't help her willfulness.

However, just as she was about to kneel down and salute, his clear voice sounded faintly: "You are injured, you don't need to be polite." ”

Ah Jiu glanced up at him. This was exactly what she wanted, so she didn't insist and straightened up.

Shangguan Junye waved his hand and motioned for them to step back.

Pothos glanced at her a little worriedly. Ah Jiu smiled with her reassuring smile and said, "You go and make a pot of tea for the emperor." After thinking about it, she stopped the pothos who turned around and was about to leave, and said, "I want to drink lily honey juice, as well as fried sugar cake and almond crisp." ”

"Uh...... "Are you still in the mood to eat at this time?" This lady is really a foodie!

"I'm a little hungry, I don't think the emperor will leave so soon, right?" Ah Jiu looked at him with a smile.

The green pothos face was a little pale, obviously frightened by the casual tone in which she spoke to the emperor. Shangguan Junye looked at her deeply and didn't speak.

If you don't speak, you should acquiesce. Ah Jiu waved his hand and said, "Go ahead." ”

The atmosphere is a little weird. The reactions of the two were not normal, this lady saw that the emperor was too calm, and the emperor did not have the posture of asking for guilt. It's so harmonious, but it's unsettling! Surely this is the calm before the storm?

Everyone agrees. The housekeeper bowed down and hurried to see when the prince would come back, in case of a sudden change, they were subordinates, they couldn't collide with the emperor, and they couldn't bear the blame of the prince. The pothos didn't dare to stay longer, so she hurried down to prepare things.

After the idlers retreated, only the two of them looked at each other without a word.

Ah Jiu was pondering what to say about the opening remarks, while Shangguan Junye stared at her with strange and confused eyes.

Ah Jiu was a little uncomfortable stared at by him, coughed lightly, and asked, "Your Majesty, do you want to sit in the house, or is it in the pavilion outside?" ”

Shangguan Junye's lips moved, but she said to herself: "I think it's outside, it's too stuffy in the room." ”

Shangguan Junye: "......"

Without waiting for him to nod her head in agreement, she made her way to the gazebo.

She actually walked ahead of him. Shangguan Junye frowned slightly, looked at her back, looked thoughtful, and then followed.

The octagonal pavilion was built in the middle of the lake. Green shadow, green wave, colorful brocade lithium, all in sight.

The breeze blew in, sending a faint fragrance of lotus flowers, and also blowing a pool of lake water, causing ripples.

Ah Jiu looked sideways at the scenery on the lake, and only after he sat down opposite did he turn his face to look at him.

There was another moment of silence, and this time Shangguan Junye was the first to speak: "How is the injury?" ”

"Emperor Lao is worried, it's just a small injury, and he can't die, but he can't move this arm for the time being."

He looked at her thoughtfully, silent for a long time.

"What is the emperor looking at? Something is wrong with me? ”

"You don't seem to be the same as you used to be."

Ah Jiu chuckled in his heart. No, could he see something? Shangguan peerless, such a shrewd person, has been bluffed. However, after all, they are husband and wife, and Shangguan Junye should be familiar with her.

She calmly pretended to be stupid and asked, "What's the difference?" ”

Shangguan Junye thought for a while and said, "In the past, you would faint when you saw blood. ”

The corners of Ah Jiu's mouth twitched, the former master was so useless? She said calmly: "People have experienced life and death, and there will always be some changes. ”

Shangguan Junye was silent. He thought about how Qingge would react when he saw him, whether he was resentful or hateful, hateful or scolded, or aggrieved and accused...... Instead of being like now, looking at it as if nothing had happened.

"I didn't expect you to block that knife for me." She was always such a weak woman in his eyes, and she was experiencing this huge disaster, she must have hated him to death in her heart, how could she have such courage to block the knife for him.

Ah Jiu subconsciously wanted to explain, lest he be sentimental. But after thinking about it, she still had to ask the emperor for favors, so she simply pushed the boat down the river and covered her eyes, her face showed three points of unwillingness and seven points of helplessness, "I don't know why I did this, probably out of a ...... Instinctively. She deliberately misled him to give him the impression that she had no feelings for him.

You are ruthless to me, but I am righteous to you! You can do it yourself!

"Instinct?" Shangguan Junye muttered and pondered these two words, feeling a kind of confusion in his heart, and a trace of shock. She said it was instinctive...... What kind of affection did she have for him, and this instinct to sacrifice for him?

Ah Jiu saw his stunned expression, the corners of his mouth quietly hooked, and soon gathered again. She didn't say much, and left it up to him to understand the meaning of these two words.

After a while, the pothos sent tea and snacks, and when she saw the atmosphere of their peaceful coexistence, she let go of the uneasiness in her heart, glanced at her mother, and retreated silently.

"Your Majesty, please use tea." The doctor said that her right shoulder should be less moved, and although she could use her left hand to serve tea, she just didn't bother to serve him.

Shangguan Junye didn't mind, he picked up the teacup with a calm expression, took a sip and put it down. He is used to drinking Longjing before the rain, and Qingge also knows his taste, and every time before making tea, he will carefully advise. Can ...... now

He watched as she ate her own snacks, staring at her thoughtfully, with a deep expression on her face, not knowing what she was thinking.

Sensing his gaze, Ah Jiu bit off the last bite of the snack in his hand and said, "The emperor always seems to be staring at me in a daze. ”

When she spoke to him, she also directly referred to herself as "I". Shangguan Junye said quietly: "You didn't like to eat sweets before. ”

Ah Jiu smiled and said, "The emperor also said that it was before. People's hearts change, let alone others. Don't be too hard-hearted, try more to know which one you really like. ”

He heard her dazzle, but he didn't pick it out.

"That's right." Shangguan Junye picked up the cup again. Her expression was still indifferent, but her mind was confused by her abnormal words and deeds. In the past, she always talked quietly and cautiously with him, how could she say such a thing. Every time I look at him, my eyes are shy and coquettish.

At this moment, the faces of the people are still the same, but their expressions are completely different. Between her eyebrows and eyes, there is a bit of free and resolute, and her words and deeds are always so careless, bringing him a completely different side. Shangguan Junye felt like he had reacquainted with her.

"The emperor is here today, he won't just care about my injury, right?" Ah Jiu interrupted his musings with a sudden voice.

He was stunned and looked at her, but he didn't expect her to take the initiative to ask.

Shangguan Junye raised his eyebrows, "Why does Concubine Ai think I came?" ”

Ah Jiu glanced at her and corrected him in a low voice: "Your Majesty, we are no longer husband and wife." ”

Shangguan Junye was stunned and frowned slightly, feeling a little unhappy because of her eagerness to clear up the relationship.

However, when such a thing happens, it is normal for her to be resistant. Thinking of this, he lowered his face and said, "I just came to see you and care about your injuries......

Ah Jiu felt a little embarrassed when he heard this. Did he care when she was tortured in prison? Did he have a moment of soft-heartedness when she went to the guillotine? If it weren't for the Ninth Prince, she would have moved her head by now.

She thought he wanted her to die. How could this be because of this little injury and go out of the palace to visit in person? This makes it difficult not to suspect that he has other intentions!

Ah Jiu lowered his eyes and said faintly: "I thought the emperor was here to condemn the crime......"

Her seemingly calm expression implied a faint grievance and resignation, which made Shangguan Junye Mo Ming feel a little sorry.

"Although I am angry at the Nine Emperor Brothers' actions, ......" he paused, turned his face away, looked at the blue water lotus, and said softly, "At the same time, I am glad that he did. ”

Ah Jiu looked at him with some surprise, with doubts in his eyes.

"Prime Minister Feng Cheng is an old minister of the Three Dynasties, there is no merit and hard work, I don't want to kill the Feng family."

Ah Jiu wants to complain, can you be a little more hinder? The Feng family, the fish that slipped through the net, survived because of her hard life, but it was not because of your soft-heartedness. If she really wants to be grateful, she would rather go and thank the Ninth Prince. Even though he had a bad stomach, he pulled her back from the ghost gate several times.

"Your Majesty, do you believe in Feng ...... Did my dad really collaborate with the enemy and commit treason? ”

Shangguan Junye looked at her and was silent for a long time before he said, "The evidence is ironclad. I am also helpless. ”

"You are the emperor who controls the power of life and death, whether you live or die is just a thought of you." I have said it myself, the elders of the three dynasties, loyal and good for generations, have no merit and hard work, can't they open up the net?

Shangguan Junye shook his head and sighed helplessly: "Although I am the Son of Heaven, I have too many bodies that I can't help myself. "Especially when he has just ascended the throne, he is fledgling, and there are too many people with honey-bellied swords and wolf ambitions around him, he can't trust anyone, but he still has to reuse them.

Although Ah Jiu can't understand his involuntary body, he has also watched historical films, various palace fighting dramas, and knows the sinister complexity of the court, the relationship between concubines and concubines, monarchs and ministers, and conspiracy and calculations are everywhere.

She was not interested in exploring, and instead asked, "Your Majesty, are you really here to give me the death penalty?" ”

Shangguan Junye nodded firmly.

Ah Jiu's face was overjoyed, and he said, "It's not a punishment, it's a reward?" ”

Shangguan Junye was stunned for a moment, and couldn't react to her jumping emotions.

"Isn't the emperor rewarded and punished clearly? I can't suffer this injury in vain. ”

Shangguan Junye looked at her fixedly, and didn't know how to evaluate her straightforward request. Who asks for a reward?

"In the past, every time I gave you something, you always pushed it back."

Ah Jiu explained without changing his face: "Your Majesty, this time is different from the past. I used to be in the palace, and I didn't have to worry about food and clothing. But now that I'm sending people to the fence, I have to plan for myself. ”

Shangguan Junye's eyebrows were slightly dark, and he asked in a deep voice, "Has the Nine Emperor Brothers treated you badly?" ”
