The past was recalled in Xiao Wu's eyes like a drizzle, and in the slowly broken rain, a touch of sadness flashed in the corners of Xiao Wu's eyes, "When I was in the palace, I heard many palace maids whispering, saying that my mother used to be my father's favorite concubine, but later, because I angered Long Yan, just because of a little thing, my father ...... and beheaded my mother......"

"Cut in half?!" He Mai gasped, "How could it be ......?"

There was a thin smile on Xiao Wu's lips, and he said lightly: "Because, the most ruthless, the emperor's heart......"

He Mai was speechless for a while.

Xiao Wu looked at her with a smile, and said soothingly: "Sister Hemai, if you see Brother Yan, tell him what I said." But if you can't see it, you don't have to deliberately force it, this matter has nothing to do with you and Brother Liulang after all. ”

He Mai hurriedly said: "How can it be okay? Xiao Wu, you are my friend, and my senior brother is an existence like my relatives, no matter you, how can I and Liulang be at ease! ”

"But this matter must not affect you and Brother Liulang," Xiao Wu whispered, "No matter what it is, you just have to say that you don't know." ”

Thinking of Yan Cheng's possible actions, Xiao Wu's heart slammed up.

If Yan Cheng really entered the palace, he would take her away...... Regardless of whether she can leave or not, if Yan Cheng is caught, it will inevitably implicate the He Mai and Liulang families who are meeting her.

In any case, He Mai couldn't continue to stay in the palace at this time, at least, he couldn't stay in the Fenghua Palace.

Xiao Wu stood up almost instantly, "Sister Hemai, you can't ......"

"The emperor has arrived!"

Chen Neng's loud voice startled the two women in the room into a cold sweat.

Zhu Jiulong came in with a smile on his face, a smile on his lips, and went straight to Xiao Wu, "Little Wu ......"

Behind him, in addition to Chen Neng, there was also Liulang, who followed in with a somewhat complicated expression.

Seeing this, He Mai's heart sank, and it was estimated that Zhu Jiulong probably persuaded Liulang to let him take over the position of commander of White Night City.

Sure enough, Zhu Jiulong took Xiao Wu's hand and said with a smile: "Xiao Wu, today is really a time of joy!" Chang Aiqing entered the palace with his wife, and promised to help me guard the White Night City, the enemy country in the north knew that it was General Chang An who was in the White Night City, and he would definitely not attack easily, Xiao Wu, the border of our Great Zhou will be peaceful for a long time. ”

Xiao Wu reluctantly smiled and said, "Congratulations, Your Majesty, having General Chang help you sit in White Night City can alleviate many of your worries." ”

"Exactly!" Zhu Jiulong's face was happy, and he instructed backwards, "Chen Neng, set up a banquet in Fenghua Palace, I want to invite Chang Aiqing and Mrs. Chang!" ”

"Yes!"

The emperor invited a courtier alone, and this kind of thing spread out, but it was a big deal.

The faces of Rokuro and Hemai were a little strange, not as if they had been rewarded, but as if they knew that they were going to be trapped on an isolated island.

He Mai was so depressed that he couldn't laugh.

Rokuro squeezed her hand and comforted, "Your Majesty promised me that as long as I find someone who can replace me, he will promise to let me resign and return to my hometown." ...... then"

"You promised happily, but I'm afraid that Your Majesty will never let you go when the time comes," He Mai said quietly, "You don't have to be in a hurry to explain to me, since you have promised, you will agree...... If you think about it carefully, those people in White Night City are also the ones that my father guarded and protected before, and now, you can be regarded as taking over my father's burden......"

Seeing that Hemai was so understanding, Rokuro finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Don't be so unhappy, Your Majesty has also made you a lady," Rokuro said with a smile, "Your Majesty has given us time to go back to the village to visit, let's leave early the next morning, and go back to the village to visit Grandma and Helin first, okay?" ”

"Okay," He Mai nodded, glanced at Zhu Jiulong, who was talking to Xiao Wu, and lowered his head and said in a muffled voice, "Your Majesty's Chrysostom is difficult to chase, but it hurts us." I just hope for ......"

She didn't say the rest of the words, but just looked at Xiao Wu worriedly.

I just hope that Yan Cheng will not do stupid things, and really enter the palace to save Xiao Wu out.

Zhu Jiulong was in a good mood, but he thought that the atmosphere in the Fenghua Hall was not lively enough, it was really deserted, and he told Chen Neng to pass on the song and dance to perform in the hall.

Liulang and his wife were about to retire, and when He Mai was leaving, he gave Xiao Wu a comforting look.

When He Mai and his wife retired, the singing and dancing performances in the Fenghua Hall continued, but the spectators were already a little absent-minded.

Zhu Jiulong had just drunk a few glasses of wine, but the wine had not yet gone down.

Her fair cheeks were stained red, and her lips were dry and hot.

Seeing him like this, Xiao Wu smiled a little vigilantly: "Since Your Majesty is drunk, it is better to go back and rest early......

Zhu Jiulong didn't say much, but waved his hand to the singing and dancing girls in the hall.

Chen Neng understood and withdrew a cadre of singing and dancing girls, and even some of the palace maids who were waiting outside were withdrawn.

Zhu Jiulong was still conscious, and with the support of Chen Neng and Xiao Wu, he slowly stood up.

The palace maid sent the sobering soup, and Xiao Wu took the decanting soup and wanted to feed Zhu Jiulong with his own hands.

The spoon approached Zhu Jiulong's lips, and Xiao Wu shouted softly: "Your Majesty, ......"

Zhu Jiulong's long eyelashes flashed, his dark and deep pupils opened, and he shook his head, "I don't want to drink." ”

"But Your Majesty will be drunk," Xiao Wu whispered, "I will go to the morning court tomorrow morning......"

"Then it's not going to be on." Zhu Jiulong simply smiled neatly.

Xiao Wu said: "Then how can it be done?" An emperor who does not work hard is not a good emperor, I heard Gonggong Chen say, Your Majesty has been rain or shine for several years, how can he suddenly make an exception? Let's have a drink......"

Zhu Jiulong obediently opened his mouth, "You feed, I will drink." ”

Xiao Wuyi fed the decanting soup into Zhu Jiulong's mouth spoonful, and Chen Neng on the side looked straight.

Watching Zhu Jiulong ascend the throne since he was a child, he can be regarded as witnessing Zhu Jiulong from a small emperor who cannot hold authority to a qualified emperor.

Although Zhu Jiulong has an elegant and gentle personality, he has been an old and stable person since he was a child.

If this were not the case, the emperor would not have chosen Zhu Jiulong as the crown prince among the many princes, and asked many ministers to assist him in ascending the throne as the emperor.

Chen Neng has been by Zhu Jiulong's side for more than ten years, but he has never seen Zhu Jiulong show such a childish side. After drinking the sobering soup spoonful, Zhu Jiulong slowly closed his eyes, as if he was asleep.

Xiao Wu was very relieved to see him asleep.

"Gonggong Chen, Your Majesty is afraid that you will not be able to leave tonight, but my Fenghua Hall is really a little simple, and Your Majesty is afraid that I am not used to sleeping......"
