Chapter Thirty-Seven: Behind Every Taboo Is a Conspiracy
When Ah Jiu heard this, he laughed. "Is the emperor concerned about me?"
Shangguan Junye frowned and pursed her lips, because she had a faint mocking smile.
"No matter where you are, it's better than prison." Ah Jiu took a sip of honey juice, moistened his throat, and continued: "The people in the prince's mansion treated me like a guest, and I was not mocked, insulted, and abused. It's just that...... I owe the Ninth Lord a large sum of money. I already owe the prince a favor, and I don't want to owe him any more. β
Shangguan Junye groaned, didn't say anything more, and asked, "How much do you want?" β
"Ten thousand taels."
Shangguan Junye's expression was slightly stunned, and then he asked, "Ten thousand taels, not a small amount." Why do you owe so much? β
Ah Jiu added: "It's 10,000 taels - gold." β
Shangguan Junye: "......"
Ah Jiu explained lightly: "I killed the beloved pet of the Nine Princes, and I couldn't pay for it, so I signed a deed of sale." β
Shangguan Junye was speechless, what pet is worth the sky-high price, and the divine beast is not successful? After a while, he slowly spoke: "You have been pitted by the Nine Emperor Brothers." β
Ah Jiu pursed his lips and said, "I know, but what can be done?" The disaster has already broken through, the turtle is also dead, the mouth grows on him, and he owes such a big favor, he said that I can only admit it when he breaks the sky. She sighed helplessly, picked up the second piece of sugar cake and handed it to him, "This tastes so good, do you want to eat it?" β
Shangguan Junye shook his head. He doesn't like sweets either, and she's not unaware. She had forgotten all his habits, and she must have hated him in her heart. He picked up the tea and drank it with a deep thought.
She didn't insist, she took a bite of herself, and continued: "I heard that the little turtle was given to him by his mother. β
Shangguan Junye paused, looking a little surprised. He glanced at her faintly, put down the cup, and said, "It was given to him by his mother before she died." β
Ah Jiu asked a little curiously, "Why did you send such an ordinary little turtle?" "The royal family has mountains of gold and silver, rare treasures, and besides, looking at Shangguan's peerless appearance, he doesn't look like a person who likes pets.
"Turtles live a long life." Shangguan Junye said lightly.
Ah Jiu pondered for a while, and then said, "Are you afraid that you will be too lonely in this world after you die?" I wanted to keep something to accompany him instead of myself, but the lives of other pets were too fragile, and if I didn't pay attention to it, I would whine, so I chose a turtle that was good to keep alive. β
Shangguan Junye looked at her in surprise. Why could she easily guess the intention of the concubine?
Ah Jiu didn't notice Shangguan Junye's expression, and he had a sugar cake in his mouth, thinking to himself. If that's the case, then he really should punish her. After all, the relics left by relatives are very precious. Especially a lonely person like Shangguan......
Wait, wait-
Lonely?
Why did she think that? How could the noble Nine Princes, who are high up, feared by everyone, and have power leaning towards the government and the opposition, be lonely?
Ah Jiu shook his head amusedly, he must have had a stuck brain just now.
Shangguan Junye stared at her for a while, frowning, shaking his head, raising his lips and laughing at himself, his eyes full of doubt.
"What's wrong?"
Ah Jiu came back to his senses, raised his eyes to look at him, shook his head, and said, "It's nothing, it's just that I must have been very sad when I thought of the Nine Princes at that time." β
Hearing that she thought that the Ninth Prince had come to his senses, Shangguan Junye subconsciously frowned, and then said as if he was a little sad: "He has a good relationship with the Tai Guifei, but the Tai Guifei died too ......" He seemed to realize something, and suddenly stopped.
But Ah Jiu's curiosity was aroused. "How did the concubine die?"
Shangguan Junye's expression was slightly abrupt, and his tone was a little stern to remind her: "It's best not to ask too much about things that you shouldn't know, especially in front of the Nine Emperor Brothers, don't mention the Taigui Concubine." β
Seeing his serious face, Ah Jiu became more and more curious. Why can't you mention the princess? Could it be that this is a taboo?
This is generally taboo, and there must be an ulterior conspiracy behind it.
However, it was obviously none of her business, and she didn't want to be out of curiosity. It's a bunch of troubles on its own. So, she nodded obediently: "I remember." β
Shangguan Junye stretched his brows at this time. But thinking of the importance that the Nine Emperor Brothers attached to Concubine Tai Gui and his tyrannical nature, after killing what Concubine Tai left behind, he didn't make her miserable, but only asked her to compensate...... This was really puzzling to him.
Could it be thatβ
Regarding her immorality, it is rumored that she has an ambiguous relationship with the Nine Emperor Brothers...... Is it really happening?
Ah Jiuduan stared at his expression and called softly: "Your Majesty." β
Shangguan Jun got up suddenly, his face was not very good-looking, and he said with a cold tone: "I still have something to do, and I have returned to the palace." β
Ah Jiu's eyes widened. Ah, hey, this is leaving? The reward has not yet been discussed. If you have to leave with money, is it okay for an emperor to pick the door like this?
Ah Jiu got up and said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, didn't you promise to reward ......"
Shangguan Junye frowned at her, his eyes seemed to be a little disgusted, and he said coldly: "In the past two years, the state treasury has been used to prepare for the army, and it is necessary to appease the innocent people affected by the war, as well as floods and droughts in various places......"
Ah Jiu understood it, this was a euphemistic refusal. She interrupted him angrily: "Just say no, what are you doing in that big circle." β
"Presumptuous, what kind of attitude do you have!" Shangguan Junye looked displeased, she actually dared to talk to him in such a tone!
Ah Jiu was not frightened by his majesty, looked at him calmly and fearlessly, and said, "Forgive the people for being rude, but they just like to tell the truth." The emperor doesn't care, the folk girl just talked casually, and she didn't expect any reward at all. If you don't ask about the crime, you are very kind to me, and the people's daughter should be grateful to Dade and thank the emperor for not killing. β
If he does not receive a reward, he will be deducted from a high hat. The emperor now said that he would not kill her, but he did not promise to remove her charges, so now she is still guilty, and once her identity is revealed, she will be grabbed by someone with a heart to get rid of her.
Fang Cai also called himself "I", which will be changed to a folk girl, invisibly widening the distance between him and her.
Shangguan Junye didn't want to explain, but he didn't want to be misunderstood by her, so he said: "This ten thousand taels is not a small amount, and it is also gold. Even if there were, I definitely couldn't let you give it to the Nine Emperor Brothers. Now the treasury is tight, and there are many places that need to be spent. As far as I know, the Nine Emperor Brothers have made friends with rich people from all over the world, and the ministers of the court are in awe of him, and they give gifts to each other during the New Year's holidays. He said with a mocking tone.
Ah Jiu's mind is like a mirror, and he can understand it at one point. The emperor is hinting that the Nine Princes accepted bribes!
She didn't say much, and said with a slightly drooping face: "The folk girl knows, please forgive the folk girl for her ignorance and ignorance." The people send off the emperor! "If you can't get any benefits, you naturally don't bother to talk to him and waste time.
Although he was leaving, seeing that she had no intention of retaining, he was unhappy again. In the end, it was the woman who once loved him deeply, who would treat him so indifferently, and his high self-esteem could not accept it.
"I will definitely give you a reward."
Ah Jiu shrugged indifferently, "Since the country is so short of money, the emperor should keep it for the people in need." As you said, the Nine Princes are not short of that money. β
"Then you ......"
"I had to continue to be a slave and a servant for the Nine Princes. Anyway, I'm lonely now, and it's good to have a place to live. She looked optimistic.
"You don't joke."
I really can't fathom the thoughts of these noble people. I can't afford to give you the reward I want, and you feel shameless and indomitable if I don't want it. It's too lazy!
Ah Jiu said perfunctorily: "If the emperor really wants to reward, find me a Taoist priest." β
Shangguan Junye was stunned and looked at her puzzled.
"I've been riddled with bad luck lately, and I need a profound Taoist priest to do it for me and get rid of bad luck."
Shangguan Junye groaned and said, "Situ Yan is proficient in hexagram numerology. β
"Situ Yan?"
"I told you about it, why, you forgot?" Shangguan Junye looked at her with sharp eyes.
Ah Jiu has no memory of the former master, of course, it is impossible to remember any bullshit national teacher. However, after facing Shangguan's peerless questioning many times, Ah Jiu had already practiced the perfunctory ability of opening his eyes and telling nonsense.
"After experiencing the changes in the court, I really don't want to think about many things." She pretended to be sad.
Shangguan Junye seemed to understand her thoughts, and he was not suspicious. "Situ Yan can observe celestial phenomena, measure geography, divinate gossip, and push numerology, and the technique of disambiguation is also quite good."
Ah Jiu's eyes lit up, "Is there really what the emperor said so powerful?" β
"Although you have never been impressed, and outsiders have always questioned him, I trust him very much." Shangguan Junye said.
"It's no wonder. After all, there are more gods now, and really talented people will also be implicated and smeared by those liars. Ah Jiu paused and continued: "But I believe that the emperor has a discerning eye and will not be deceived by the divine stick." β
Shangguan Junye looked at her with a smile and said, "You persuaded me before, but now you are talking for him." "She's not really getting a little bit.
Ah Jiu smiled: "I didn't believe it before, but now I think there are no wonders in this world, and those strange people don't don't exist. β
It's like the fact that she crosses through is enough to be fantasy and absurd. And she can always see on TV, whether in ancient or modern times, there will always be capable people who can see through the heavens and predict the past and future. If someone with this skill really exists, why don't she try her luck and maybe find a way back.
She doesn't like to stay in this ancient world, and she hasn't had a good life in the past. Although she has revenge, she can travel back, she takes it as a nightmare and laughs at her revenge.
"Your Majesty, can I meet that Situ Yan?"
Shangguan Junye was a little surprised.
"I'm feeling very lost about the days ahead and I really don't know what to do. I want him to help me guide me through the maze and enlighten me in this lost and helpless life. This little bit of care, the emperor should be able to help me accomplish it, right? β
Shangguan Junye thought for a while and said, "You can't go back to the palace for the time being, I have to make some arrangements." β
Ah Jiu nodded happily in his heart, "Okay, okay, everything is arranged by the emperor." β
