"But Yue'er wants to ask the emperor for something?"

"Why something?"

“…… Snow Lotus ......"

The emperor didn't speak for a long time, and his eyes revealed three points of coldness when he looked at me, "This is the treasure of my country, how can you want it?" His eyes narrowed, "Again...... Someone instructed you to do this? ”

I immediately shook my head, I didn't expect it to be a treasure of the town, no wonder the Queen Mother wanted it, but what did the Queen Mother want it to do?

"And why do you want it? Unless you have a reason for me not to give it to you, ...... Even if you are favored by the Queen Mother, I can't agree. He said coldly.

Reason? Why? Kill my mother? Finagle? Or are you waiting for an opportunity to persecute the Su family?

"Why is Yue'er looking at me with such hatred?" The person in front of him suddenly said, and then sighed again, "This thing is extremely important to the Western Empire, and it must not be given away at will." ”

"If you exchange the Eastern Wu Dynasty, is the emperor willing?" I stared straight into those stunned eyes and said firmly.

Suddenly, there was a burst of "haha" laughter, and when he finished laughing, he said: "Don't you think that your little plan will definitely defeat the Eastern Wu Dynasty, then don't you underestimate them too much." ”

"Of course not." Still unhurried, I said, "I'm talking about...... The treasure that the emperor has been looking for. "Suddenly pinched by someone, I looked at the murderous emperor in pain.

"How do you know this?" He asked in a deep voice.

"I ...... You don't care how I know, just ...... As long as you tell me............ You just want it or not. "You won't be killed if you talk to the emperor like this, but at this moment, it seems that you are about to die, the hand on your neck is tightening tighter and tighter, and your eyes are becoming more and more blurred. Suddenly he let go of his hand, and I fell to the ground, gasping for air.

"Anyway, I'll spare your life." He blew on the hand he had just pinched me, his eyes expressionless. Now it's okay, he finally doesn't pretend to be a good "brother".

"When the emperor gives me snow lotus, I ...... Naturally, it will be said. After I was relieved, I continued to say without fear of death.

"Did you know that I could kill you at any moment?"

I sneered, I naturally know this, but if his ambition is big enough, he will not deal with a person whose fate is like an ant, "Then it depends on which one the emperor wants?" This last piece of treasure talisman, only I know. Does the emperor want my little life, which is not a pity to die, or the life of the entire Eastern Wu Dynasty? ”

He narrowed his eyes and looked at me motionlessly, "I knew you were so smart, I shouldn't have chosen you to be a princess in the first place." ”

"Thank you for your praise." Now that both of them had pierced the window paper, there was no need for me to kneel down again. When I stood up, I almost didn't stand firm, but I was caught by a person.

A pair of extremely black eyes flashed with an unfamiliar light, to be honest, these eyes are a bit like Hu Jingfeng, but they can be seen at a glance, these eyes are impenetrable, like a black hole. "Now that you already know, why don't you be my queen, I haven't had a queen yet." He said suddenly sadly.

I resisted the urge to push him away, and when I stood firm, I gently pushed him away and knelt down, "Please give the emperor a slave and maid Snow Lotus, and the slave and maid congratulate the emperor on unifying the world." ”

There was no sound above my head for a long time, and I began to panic a little in my heart, what if the emperor did not lack that little gold and silver treasure, what if the emperor would rather want my life?

"Okay, I promise you, but this is also the last chance I give you, next time, for whatever reason, if you anger me, I will kill you."

"Thank you for the emperor's grace not to kill, the emperor is wise."

On the way back, it was already dark, and the wind blew, and my back was cold. I know, it was a cold sweat just now.

When I passed by the Imperial Garden, I accidentally glanced over there, but I saw that familiar figure...... Why is he still here?

Rushing over, he said angrily, "It's dark, why are you still here?" ”

"I'm waiting for you." He said, his eyes shining like a black moon.

"That's stupid...... What are I waiting for? "I don't turn my face, the waves between me and the emperor just now almost turned into tears at this moment, but fortunately, I held it back.

He turned me around and took my hand, "I'm afraid you're not coming back...... I'm even more afraid that I won't be able to see you, and I'm afraid that if the emperor wants to kill you, how can I save you? ”

My hands were really cold compared to his hands, because I felt his hands were warm. I shook his hand, "Hu Jingfeng, when I get the snow lotus, let's leave here, okay?" ”

He didn't ask anything, just said one word, "Okay......" I looked at him gratefully, and finally the tears did not hold back anymore, hoping that I had made the right choice this time.

The next day, the emperor's decree arrived.

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor edict said: Because Princess Oude is quick-witted, gentle and virtuous, and takes the country as the overall situation. This time, I went to the Eastern Wu Dynasty to make peace, hoping to keep in mind the safety of the country and make the two countries live in harmony, so I gave half a snow lotus this time to express my gratitude. Chin this. ”

"Thank you for the emperor's reward." I raised my hand, took the decree, and stood up.

A eunuch in front of him immediately smiled and said: "Congratulations to Princess Oude, this snow lotus is a priceless treasure, I hope the princess will keep it more in the future." ”

I also thanked him, stuffed him with some silver taels, and then took out a sachet from his body and handed it to him, "This is something that the emperor wants, please help me transfer it to the emperor." ”

He quietly put away the silver, opened his eyebrows and smiled: "The slave will definitely be handed over to the emperor." Then he departed.

When everyone went down, I carefully observed the half of the broken flower in the golden box, how could such a person want this dead flower? The queen mother wanted to prolong her life, and she did not hesitate to exchange the treasure talisman for it. Although the emperor only gave half of it, it was better than not giving it, and if I also gave him half, I am afraid he would be annoyed and angry. Although I didn't give him half of it, I deducted the text on one of the routes, and I had to pay more attention to the emperor who was very deep in the city.

That's right, the piece on my body was given to me by the Queen Mother, and asked me to use it to make a deal with the emperor and get the snow lotus for her. asked her why she didn't exchange it with the emperor herself, she said that she had lived in the palace since she was born, and she didn't usually interact with people, if she let the emperor know that she had a treasure talisman, I am afraid that the emperor would find out if he dug three feet into the ground. But I'm different, I often can't find me, so the emperor naturally can't guess where I will put the treasure talisman. At the same time, this is also a condition for being willing to help me save Hu Jingfeng.

A very beautiful man riding a donkey appeared in his mind, and a bearded man with a full beard, Jin Quan, who had been waiting for this snow lotus...... I watched it fascinated and pondered, knowing that my gaze drifted to a scattered lotus flower in the corner of the screen. This should have been accidentally spilled by the palace maid during the bath a few days ago, and a bold idea came to mind.

After I put the golden box on the lid and put it away, "Ah Huan, help me get a few basins of hot water to come in, my father-in-law will mainly bathe." ”

Ah Huan, who appeared in a hurry, said, "Okay princess." Then he hurried away.

After they had poured all the hot water into it and gone down again, I stripped in, holding the snow lotus scattered on the ground in my hand. Sure enough, after the hot water, the color of the flowers became dull, and after pretending to wash it for a long time, I came out naked. If the emperor wants to send someone to spy on me, I will definitely not find out, but who will he send, then there will be only no jade, but no jade...... He probably wouldn't look at a woman naked.

I hid the flower in the clothes I had just taken off, and wrapped them around my body before I had someone come in and clean them up. It should be best to bake it with a candle flame, and after roasting, the lotus flower will become wrinkled, and there will be a feeling similar to withering yellow. However, nowadays, under the eyes and ears of many people, I don't dare to take risks, so I can only ......

"I'm going out in the sun for a while, and no one is allowed to wake me up."

"Yes......"

The sun in the courtyard was not very poisonous, but after a long time, I couldn't hold it anymore, covered my face with a handkerchief, and planned to squint for a while, so that I wouldn't feel sunburned when I fell asleep, and I wanted to insist.

I moved my chest with my hand, but fortunately I didn't put the flowers in my underwear, but fortunately there was a layer between them and my skin, otherwise my sweat would have soaked it again, and it would have been counterproductive.

I don't know how long it was, and I don't know if I really fell asleep. When I woke up, I lifted the handkerchief on my face and found that it was sunset. I subconsciously touched my chest, and it was okay...... It's still there.

"Princess, are you finally awake?" Ah Huan's surprised and regretful voice.

"What's wrong?" I wondered.

"In the afternoon, General Hu came—"

I hurriedly stood up, and before she could finish my sentence, I asked, "Has he been here?" ”

"Yes, but didn't you say that you might wake you up, and General Hu also said that he wouldn't let us call you, and then he watched you for a while and left." Ah Huan said and sighed.

I don't know what's the matter with me? But since you didn't wake me up, it shouldn't be a big deal. That's fine, I'll go to him when I've got everything in order, and I'll tell him in detail when the time comes, and now my intuition tells me that I'm being stared at by a lot of eyes now, though I don't know where those eyes are. said not necessarily, Ah Huan next to him is one.

I glanced at Ah Huan and said weakly: "It's okay Ah Huan, help me go back to the palace, I was a little tired today, and I accidentally fell asleep." ”

"It's the princess." Ah Huan immediately reached out and helped me to walk back.

On the way, I thought to myself: In order not to make the emperor suspicious, I have to wait a few days before sending the snow lotus to her, just right, and give me time.

After thinking about it, I feel much more at ease, and my steps are much lighter.
