Qin Baozhu looked at Ye Qianhuai, even his gaze seemed to freeze, and the air seemed to stop flowing.

Then, she looked away, barely squeezed out a smile, and said, "Why did your parents give you such a name, the emperor's name should be avoided." ”

Ye Tianhuai knew that she was looking for her to go under the stairs and let her take back the words in front of her.

But she didn't think about turning back.

Ye Tianhuai took out a palm-sized seal from his arms, and a radiant glass dragon was carved on the crystal white marble, which was quite powerful in Kyushu. There are several horizontal and vertical grooves on the side of the seal, and there are a few pieces of Dan mud used for stamping in the groove, which are bright and bloody.

It is the jade seal of the great view.

Ye Tianhuai solemnly placed the jade seal gently on the edge of the stove, then looked at Qin Baozhu who was full of shock, and said, "Miss Qin, I will say it again, I am the seventh emperor of Dajing, Ye Tianhuai." ”

Qin Baozhu looked at her, and then at the jade seal, the expression on her face changed from shock to fear, and then to worry, she looked back at Ye Qianhuai, and shook her head slightly in disbelief.

"I'll give you two choices now." Ye Tianhuai stared at her with a cold expression, and said, "First, follow me into the palace, be my personal palace maid, keep the oath you once made in front of me, and keep my identity tight-lipped." ”

After saying that, she took out the vial containing the poison from her cuff and placed it next to the jade seal.

"Second, drink this." She glanced up at Qin Baozhu, as if she couldn't bear to look at her big smart eyes, and then opened her eyes and said, "I promise, you won't have any pain." ”

Qin Baozhu looked at the jade seals and poisons placed side by side by the stove, and suddenly smiled: "It seems that there is no choice." ”

She smiled at Ye Qian and said, "Can the folk girl ask Your Majesty a question?" ”

"You say."

"Why didn't Your Majesty just kill the people's daughter?"

Ye Tianhuai was stunned for a moment, she had thought of many questions. Maybe Qin Baozhu will ask her why she came to Wenxintang, why she pretends to be a candidate who went to Beijing to take the exam, and even why she is a woman.

But he didn't expect Qin Baozhu to ask such a question so calmly.

So she asked rhetorically, "Then why does Miss Qin believe in the emperor so much?" ”

"Because I can't help it." Qin Baozhu blurted out that after learning that Ye Tianhuai was the emperor, she did not show the awe and timidity of ordinary people, nor did she even bow down, and even spoke bluntly.

"Your Majesty doesn't know that it is not easy for a small people like us to make ends meet. If the land is occupied, you can only endure it, and if you have grievances, you have nowhere to appeal, and you can only rely on your life to stand up when you encounter a famine. The official doesn't make decisions for us, and God doesn't care if we live or die. We can only trust Your Majesty and that Your Majesty will have mercy on his people. Otherwise, it would be too desperate to live. If Your Majesty can't believe it, who else can we believe? After speaking, she looked at Ye Tianhuai and smiled, and said, "The people's daughter did not believe in Your Majesty. Isn't it? ”

I see. Ye said in his heart. What Qin Baozhu said is probably what all the students think. When dark clouds obscure the sun, people prefer to believe that the sun is blocked behind stratus clouds.

Ye Tianhuai said to Qin Baozhu: "I don't want to kill you because I don't want to live up to your trust in me. So I'm willing to gamble, and bet that you won't live up to my trust. ”

Qin Baozhu restrained the smile on his face, knelt on the ground, made a not-so-standard kneeling salute, bowed his head to the ground, and said, "The people's daughter will definitely live up to Your Majesty's trust." ”

Ye Tianhuai half-squatted down, holding her arm and letting her raise her head to look at her.

"Orb, the secret you hold in your hand is enough to destroy not only me, but the entire landscape. I have put my life and all the inheritance left by my ancestors into your hands. Do you understand? Ye Tianhuai said in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty......" Qin Baozhu's expression moved.

"Alright, get up. Leave a message and let Qin Yang not worry about you. Come with me. ”

---

Spring is cold, especially at night.

Li Baoquan stood under the archway of Xiuzheng Fang for half an hour, and did not wait for Ye Tianhuai. Seeing that it was getting late, he couldn't help but become anxious and paced back and forth under the archway.

There was no one in Xiuzheng Fang today, he looked at the passers-by one by one, and wondered in his heart, could it be that he missed the emperor?

It wasn't until it was dark that some shopkeepers began to put up lanterns on the side of the road, and Li Baoquan saw two figures walking towards him from a distance.

The head was tall and thin, and his aura was extraordinary, and Li Baoquan could see at a glance that he was his master.

But how could the emperor follow a woman?

Li Baoquan greeted him in confusion, saluted Ye Tianhuai, and said, "Master." ”

Ye Tianhuai nodded, and introduced Qin Baozhu to him: "This is Miss Chen Lan, I look at it well, take it back to the palace to be a personal palace maid for me." ”

Chen Lan is a pseudonym that Ye Tianhuai temporarily gave to Qin Baozhu.

Li Baoquan was obviously quite surprised, he glanced at Qin Baozhu, and didn't know what to say for a while.

"Chen Lan has seen Manager Li." Qin Baozhu had heard Ye Tianhuai mention Li Baoquan on the way, and saluted him.

Li Baoquan also came back to his senses and said, "The girl is polite." The old slave is just a minion, just call me Gonggong Li in the palace. ”

"Yes. Chen Lan remembered. ”

Li Baoquan smiled kindly at her, and said in his heart, she looked like a sensible girl.

It's just that since Ye Tianhuai ascended the throne, Li Baoquan has been waiting by his side, and this is the first time Li Baoquan has seen a woman other than Aunt Fanghua by Ye Tianhuai's side.

couldn't help but make him curious.

Many people inside and outside the palace have asked him what kind of woman the new emperor likes. He smiled and didn't answer.

Because he doesn't know either.

Sometimes he is also curious about what kind of woman the little emperor likes. Even, when there was a lot of rumor in the palace, he thought that the little emperor might really like an older woman like Aunt Fanghua.

But now looking at this Chen Lan girl, Li Baoquan can't see how she is similar to Aunt Fanghua.

Aunt Fanghua is docile and respectful, does not speak much in front of people, and is loyal to her master, and does not allow others to say that she is not. In the past, when Empress Dowager Jingmin was still Concubine He Shu, Aunt Fanghua was a well-known loyal servant in the harem. Later, the Empress Dowager Jingmin returned to heaven, and she followed Ye Tianhuai. I heard that once when Ye Tianhuai was in class in the Wenxuan Palace, Aunt Fanghua was on the side, and she met the emperor Lu Yanchen to teach Ye Tianhuai a stern lesson, Aunt Fanghua ignored her identity and Lu Yanchen's theory, although she was to protect her master, but she contradicted the emperor who was in the third duke, and was punished to kneel all night afterwards, and was ordered by Ye Tianhuai not to serve in the classroom in the future.

But the girl in front of me doesn't know whether she is loyal or not, but looking at her appearance, she is not docile and doesn't like words.

Li Baoquan couldn't help but be a little puzzled.
