Since the end of the Providence Empire, the world is divided into three parts, and the Dongling Kingdom has become independent again, almost all the emperors of the past dynasties have been conscientious, hardworking, and advocating thrift in life, and never willing to spend extravagantly.

Therefore, although it is the emperor's bedroom, most of the furnishings inside are old, and some of them can even see traces of repair, which are even older and more ancient than Xuanyuan's Yunbo Palace.

Because the emperor had to be given a needle, the candles inside were bright and placed in different directions, making people's shadows much lighter.

Xue'er was about to remove the silver needle from her head, but was stopped by the emperor raising his hand.

"Shen Yixue." The emperor did it there, although it was not condescending, but it had a compelling momentum. He squinted his eyes, so that people couldn't see what was going on at the moment, just looked at Cher fixedly.

Xue'er paused for a moment, but then calmed down, and bowed slightly: "The folk girl is here." ”

Since being rescued by the emperor's big ship at sea, although Xue'er has always been applying needles to relieve the emperor's headache and cure his head disease, most of the time the emperor is silent, closing his eyes and not saying a word, rarely speaking, even if he does, he will not call Xue'er's full name, this is the first time at this moment.

The emperor's voice raised a degree: "Do you still know that you are just a 'people's girl'?" Why is there no attitude that a folk girl should have? ”

Is this to make a fuss at yourself?

Xue'er hung her head, and countless thoughts turned in her heart in an instant, although she knew that Xuanyuan Yu was outside. However, at this moment, she was nominally giving the emperor an injection, and the emperor didn't really want to see Xuanyuan, not to mention that she didn't want to rely on him for everything, or to implicate him.

"Back to the emperor, if the people's daughter kneels, it will be nothing more than an injection for the emperor!"

The emperor was stunned, his face instantly became cloudy, and his gaze at Xue'er narrowed again, as if he wanted to see the woman in front of him clearly from the inside out.

The eldest princess had been sitting silently beside her, and suddenly said at this moment: "Brother Huang, Miss Shen is still the righteous daughter of Marble Shaoqing Jiu Zilin. ”

"Righteous daughter?" The emperor's mind seemed to shift from Xue'er's body to Jiu Zilin's body at once, and he sneered, "Doesn't he have a daughter himself?" ”

"Yes, I'm eight years old." The eldest princess replied respectfully again. "At the same time, there is also a distant niece named Jiuhua Ying, who is the same age as Miss Shen."

The emperor was silent, and he didn't know what he was thinking, but he didn't mean to let Xue'er administer the needle to him.

Xue'er stood there, without a trace of fear in her heart for these two men and women who held the power of life and death. She didn't know where this fearlessness came from, after all, she was just an orphan girl who didn't even know where her parents were, and she didn't have any power and strength, but had a poisoned body.

However, in her subconscious, everyone in front of her is like an ant-like existence, not to mention that she is afraid and timid, that is, she looks at each other equally, and she is already very kind to each other.

The reason behind Xue'er's attitude at the moment is also what happened in the small courtyard of Shan Tianying under house arrest.

For Lingxin, Xuanyuan Yu and himself appeared there, the emperor was not surprised, he didn't even ask, and made a decision directly. Regarding the archers that appeared around the small courtyard, the arrows all over the ground, and the matter of Xuanyuan Yu attacking Yang Jin with arrows, the emperor didn't even ask a word. He didn't even have a trace of anger at Shan Tianying's escape, and he didn't hold anyone responsible, but in the end he found an excuse to bring himself here and wanted to attack him but didn't completely attack it.

This had to make Xue'er feel strange, but she couldn't guess the reason for a while, let alone imagined that in the end, things turned to her identity.

"You've been in the palace for about ten days, haven't you?" The emperor didn't speak, but the eldest princess spoke, "I guess I should have understood a lot." Without any identity, the name is not right. I'm afraid it's not good in the long run. ”

"You and Lingxin can be said to be sisters in distress, and the technique of silver needles is even more superb, and the healing of the emperor's head disease is even more indispensable." Xue'er listened quietly, and the eldest princess was quite satisfied with the attitude of the girl in front of her at this moment, so she bowed her head slightly and continued: "I discussed with the imperial brother, why don't I or the imperial brother come forward and accept you as a righteous daughter." As for where Jiuzilin ......?"

Jiu Zilin naturally wanted to be more interesting, and automatically dissolved the relationship between his father-in-law and daughter.

However, the eldest princess did not wait for her imaginary gratitude to Dade, and the woman standing in front of them still stood there, as if she was in deep thought, as if she was weighing which person's righteous daughter would be more cost-effective.

"I disagree!"

No one thought that Xuanyuan Yu, who had been waiting outside the hall, would suddenly break in, let alone that Xuanyuan Yu would just hear the words of the eldest princess, and he didn't expect Xuanyuan Yu to dare to speak out against it directly.

Xue'er was stunned for a moment, and finally came back to her senses from her thoughts, and turned to look at the man who hurriedly broke in and stood beside her.

The black robe on his body seemed to still carry the coldness and depth of the night, and there was a mysterious and distant aura on his face, but he couldn't hide the faint anger that was wrapped in it.

The eldest princess was also stunned, and her voice unconsciously raised: "Ah Yu! ”

The emperor couldn't help frowning, opened his mouth, and was about to speak, but was interrupted by a cold look from Xuanyuan: "Didn't my father have a head attack and need Xue'er to administer an injection?" If it is already okay, the son will take Xue'er away, and he will not disturb his father's recuperation. ”

"You-"

The emperor was so angry that his face changed, and what was originally just a slight headache turned into a real severe pain this time, rumbling like a galloping horse, pointing at Xuanyuan Yu speechless.

Xue'er didn't expect Xuanyuan Yu to come in suddenly, let alone that as soon as the other party came in, he would argue with the emperor like a needle.

"Xuanyuan ......" She gently tugged at Xuanyuan's sleeve and whispered, with a hint of pleading in her eyes.

No matter what the emperor is, Xuanyuan Yu turned against the emperor's father and son for her but it was not what she wanted to see, she affected the other party too much!

Xuanyuan Yu couldn't stand the woman's soft words after all, his face eased slightly, but his tone was still indescribably awkward, he looked at the emperor, then at the eldest princess, and said, "Xue'er's identity will be in the future." But the righteous daughter, the father and the emperor's aunt have no shortage of daughters, so forget it. ”

After he said this, he pulled the snow and walked out: "It's dark at night, it's time to go back." ”

The emperor's face became more and more ugly after saying a word, and at this moment he finally couldn't help but speak: "Wait a minute!" ”

Xuanyuan Yu's footsteps paused, and he didn't even look back and said: "It's late, my father's head disease has just eased, so it's better to rest early." ”

The emperor sighed, and seemed to have aged a lot in an instant: "Shen Yixue's identity, I'll mention it later, now, I have other things to tell you." ”

Xuanyuan hesitated for a moment, but at this time, Xue'er also pulled his sleeve, so he softened his complexion, turned his head, and bowed to the emperor again: "Father, please speak." ”

The emperor looked at Xue'er beside Xuanyuan Yu, and said, "Are you sure you want her to know?" ”

This sentence turned retreat into advance, but it made Xuanyuan Yu hesitate, looked at Xue'er, and then looked at the emperor: "What do you want to say?" ”

His hesitant expression completely fell on Xue'er's eyes, and Xue'er smiled lightly: "Xuanyuan, I'll go out and wait for you." ”

"Cher's ......"

Although the expression of the woman next to her was as usual, her indifferent tone made Xuanyuan Yu's heart panic for no reason, although she said that she was going out to wait for him, but he always had a feeling that she wanted to stay away from him. It's as if this is gone, and she won't look back.

Does her reluctance to listen to the dialogue between him and the emperor and to know about the affairs of the imperial family mean that she is unwilling to participate in his future life?

Xuanyuan only felt that his heart sank suddenly, and almost subconsciously grabbed the woman next to him, and his stubborn temper came up again: "No, don't go!" ”

He took Xue'er's soft and slightly cool little hand with one hand, and turned his head to look at the emperor: "What do you want to say, say it!" ”

There was a strange color in the emperor's eyes, and he glanced at Xue'er deeply, until Xue'er couldn't help but hang her head: she was not afraid of the other party's momentum, because she always felt that she seemed to be more imposing than the other party, but the wisdom of perceiving people's hearts and being able to see through the world made her feel that there was nothing to hide.

As if sensing the uneasiness of the owner of the small palm hand, Xuanyuan Yu held the hand hard, looked up at the emperor, and looked at the emperor with a firm gaze: "I won't hide everything from her, what do you want to say, say it!" ”

The eldest princess frowned, and finally raised her head, and also fell on Xue'er's body, with a hint of scrutiny.

The emperor was silent for a long time, and just when Xuanyuan Yu was about to lose patience, he slowly spoke: "What did Yingli say to you?" ”

Xuanyuan Yu's gaze suddenly tightened, although the emperor looked old, but he was not old and dizzy, and his heart was even more mirrored, even this could be expected!

Even the hand that grabbed Xue'er couldn't help but loosen up, and Xuanyuan lowered his eyelids: "What should be said, everything has been said." Not a word that shouldn't have been said, not a word said! ”

The emperor asked, "What should be said and what should not be said?" ”

Xuanyuan Yu's smile was slightly cold: "The person who is loyal to Yingli is you, so you naturally know what to say and what not to say." ”

This conversation, as if she had said everything, and as if she hadn't said anything, Xue'er heard it in a fog, even the eldest princess was confused, I am afraid that only the emperor and Xuanyuan Yu, a pair of parties, understood the true meaning.

"In that case," the emperor's face suddenly became solemn, "I guess you also know what you should and shouldn't do, what is the top priority, right?" ”

"What if you know?" Xuanyuan raised his eyebrows, turned his head to look at Xue'er's gaze with a hint of gentle doting, "I'm here for her, so I naturally know what is the most important thing!" ”

The emperor's brows furrowed again, and he directly wrung out the word "Chuan", but in the end, he endured it and did not have a seizure, and said an irrelevant word: "Since your body has recovered, shouldn't you visit the imperial brother who is still bedridden?" ”

This sentence made Xuanyuan Yu's face darken even more suddenly, and he was about to open his mouth to refuse, but he heard the emperor say again: "The day after tomorrow is the day when the emperor of the Western Desert and the prince of Nanping are officially entertained." ”
