It wasn't until she went to the emperor's place that she found that the emperor had sent the only remaining ice cubes to her, and the answer in her heart became clearer and clearer.

It is impossible for the emperor to deliberately block the sword with her, so the only possibility is-

"The emperor gave the slave and maid a meritorious name, and the slave and maid should be grateful to Dai De. It's just that the slave maid has a question in her heart, the emperor will not arrange this assassination just to give the slave maid this virtuous name, right? ”

The emperor's gaze instantly sharpened, staring at Su Youyi for a long time, and then smiled slowly.

He knew that with Su Youyi's intelligence, he would definitely be able to react, and he didn't really want to use her to block the sword, but he didn't expect Su Youyi to think of this.

How did she know that the Assassins had arranged it herself?

Su Youyi was furious with laughter from him, and said in her heart that she had said too much, should the emperor kill her in anger for a while?

Only then did the emperor speak, "If you know my secret, then I can only—"

Su Youyi's knees weakened and she almost knelt down.

"Let you be my man."

It's so dangerous, she thinks the emperor really wants to kill her.

Su Youyi wiped her forehead, only then did she find that she was covered with sweat, and the emperor waited for her answer, thinking that Su Youyi would refuse this time.

Su Youyi said, "Your Majesty, what are you going to seal me?" Won't you say yes? ”

That's what it means to agree.

The emperor suddenly forgot the pain of the wound, and asked with great interest, "Then what do you want me to seal you?" ”

Su Youyi bargained, "Anyway, I have a meritorious role in saving the driver, at least I can be a nobleman, right?" ”

She thought in her heart that the conditions would be higher, even if the emperor couldn't make her a nobleman, at least she could compromise and seal her always, and it was too low to promise this position, but she was afraid that she would be humiliated as soon as she entered the harem.

She didn't want to be a slave beside the eldest prince, she had to look at the eyes of Concubine Xian and others everywhere, and when she became a concubine in the harem, she had to look at the eyes of others everywhere.

Su Youyi quietly raised her eyes to look at the emperor, and when he rejected his conditions, she threw out the lower Chang Zai.

Unexpectedly-

"Okay, I will be named a nobleman, and I will draw up another title after I return to the palace."

Su Youyi couldn't hide her surprise anymore, and raised her head to look at the emperor in a daze.

He not only promised to be a nobleman, but also gave her a title, which is equivalent to adding half a level to the ordinary nobleman's position.

Looking at the harem concubines today, except for the virtuous concubine, who was born with an extraordinary background and was named a nobleman as soon as she entered the palace, the other show girls all started from agreeing and always doing.

The love came too suddenly, and Su Youyi tried to smell the smell of conspiracy in it, which would make her feel a little more normal.

However, she only smelled the scent of peach blossoms, which was slightly sweet.

The emperor's usual frost-shrouded aura was like a peach blossom, and his eyes were full of pink sweetness, which made Su Youyi surprised and had an indescribable joy.

The emperor chuckled, "What? Scared stupid, even forgot about Shane? ”

Su Youyi was reminded by him and was about to thank him, but the emperor suddenly said: "That's it, you should wait until you return to the palace to officially canonize and thank you." I'm curious, how do you know that the Assassins were arranged by me? ”

"The son of a daughter can't sit down, has the emperor heard this sentence?"

The emperor bowed his head, "So you thought of this because I was sitting with my back to the cliff?" ”

Su Youyi shook her head, "The slave maid originally thought that the emperor was sitting there because he felt hot when he walked on the mountain road, and that position was just right. But there are too many coincidences, and the slave and maid have to be suspicious. ”

The corners of the emperor's mouth turned up slightly, "For example?" ”

For example, the eldest prince pulled the slave and maid to sit down, and the emperor gave the slave and maid a tacit look, and the position where the slave and maid sat later happened to become a dead end with no way out. Moreover, the assassin dared to assassinate the emperor alone, he hid right behind the emperor, and the guards happened to go bear hunting, there were too many coincidences. ”

Su Youyi thought for a while, "There is the last and most critical reason. ”

The emperor heard her say so many reasons, and he couldn't help but be curious about this most critical reason, "Let's talk about it." ”

Su Youyi was a little hesitant, not knowing whether to say it or not.

What if the emperor is annoyed?

After hesitating for a long time, she said slowly: "The slave maid thinks that if it was a real assassin, the emperor would not put himself in such a dangerous situation. Whether you use a slave or a maid to block the sword, you will not reach over and block the sword for the slave or maid. ”

The emperor raised his eyebrows, "You said that I am very cold-blooded and ruthless. ”

"No, no, no, it's not cold-blooded."

Su Youyi shook her head and said sincerely: "The emperor is the Son of Heaven, and he is related to all the people, so he should naturally take care of his life, this is not cold-blooded and ruthless." Only by not allowing yourself to be injured can you fight for the greatest chance to save your life, and to save your life is to protect the emperor's thousands of people. Take 10,000 steps back and say that even if the assassin wanted to kill the slave at that time, the slave and the maid would do their best to survive. ”

"Staying alive is more important than anything else."

This sentence was told to herself over and over again after her father's death, when she almost couldn't survive after a long journey from Lingnan to Lingnan, and after the negative man abandoned her and married another.

She did it, and she not only lived, but lived as a human being.

"Staying alive is more important than anything else."

The emperor repeated her words, I don't know what she experienced at a young age to have such a feeling.

But he was sure that from the first time he saw Su Youyi, he saw the story in her eyes, and saw forbearance and tenacity.

That kind of gaze attracted him more than the beauty that appeared on the surface.

The emperor suddenly said: "Since survival is more important than anything else, why did you throw the eldest prince out of the pavilion at that time, instead of using him as a shield?" ”

Su Youyi was stunned for a moment, and almost blurted out, "The eldest prince is still so young, I can't use him even if I want to live, not to mention that he treats me so well." ”

What she said was that the eldest prince was young, and she was talking about the eldest prince's treatment of her well, not about the noble status of the eldest prince.

The emperor said: "I just love to hear you tell the truth, you must not change your temperament in the future, and you will talk about merit and virtue like those people." ”

Su Youyi also said: "It's not difficult. It's just that the emperor must not change his temperament, and like others, he loves to listen to sycophants who praise merit and virtue, and forgets what he said today. ”

The emperor's face sank, "What a big boldness." ”

In the past, Su Youyi felt scared when she saw the emperor's face, but for some reason, she didn't feel scared after this incident.

She knew that the emperor was not really angry, but deliberately scared her.

Sometimes the emperor didn't make an ugly face, or even smiled, but there was a chill in his eyes, such as when he spoke to Yan Zuotu when he went up the mountain today.

Su Youyi smiled: "Doesn't the emperor just like me to be so bold?" ”

Emperor: "......"
