Chapter 222: I Don't Want to Be a Slave Again

When Xuanyuan Che spoke, he suddenly found that Zhu Jiu was relieved when he saw him wake up.

The expression was obviously more relieved than just now, could it be that she deliberately said this to wake him up?

Thinking about it, Xuanyuan Che was in a better mood, and his smile fell in Zhu Jiu's eyes, it was purely a smirk for the rest of his life, so he took advantage of the situation to distance himself from him, got up and said, "Since it's okay, just rest well, let Hanmei take care of you for the next few days."

"Hanmei is your personal maid, are you willing to let her come to me?" Xuanyuan Che said, and deliberately mentioned, "Besides, shouldn't she be grounded in the side hall? Without Lone's will, who will let her out?"

Zhu Jiu looked at him with a smile, his hands around his chest, "I released it, what, do you have an opinion?"

"Ahem, what the lady said, I naturally have no opinion."

Xuanyuan Che climbed up the pole, but Zhu Jiu'er, who was called by this lady, was slightly red, fortunately there was no one in this room, otherwise people would see it, but she was afraid that she would cut Xuanyuan Che's heart, so she looked at him coldly: "Nonsense, it looks like I have to increase the amount of medicine for you."

After speaking, he ignored him and went outside to arrange many matters in the palace in the past few days.

Since Rong Ruo was sent to Lingnan by Xuanyuan Che, the cabinet ministers who can now be in charge of the DPRK are Prime Minister Shen Cheng in addition to the three princes headed by Li Chunyue.

The power developed by these two people in the court is complicated, on the one hand, they are directly loyal to His Majesty Xuanyuan Che, and on the other hand, they are used to balance the family.

Li Chunyue took He Hongying to see Xuanyuan Che, and after seeing that Xuanyuan Che was safe and sound, nothing happened, he withdrew from the Ziji Palace, chatted with Zhu Jiu for a few words, and then went to find Prime Minister Shen Cheng, and the two planned to stay in the cabinet within this month.

After all, it takes a month for Xuanyuan Che to recuperate, and the specific situation has to wait for Min Que to develop an antidote to eliminate the side effects on Xuanyuan Che's body.

Fortunately, the side effects of Xuanyuan Che's ecstasy designed and taken by the black-clothed messenger are only temporary hemiplegia, which has nothing to do with epilepsy, and there is no dementia, so it will not affect his handling of government affairs, at least his brain is still good.

When Li Chunyue left, he didn't forget to ask Xuanyuan Che for a holy decree to marry him and He Hongying.

He Hongying was outside the hall, so she naturally heard the words of the two clearly, and it happened that Zhu Jiu also left Hanmei to go back to Changle Palace, so He Hongying stepped into the hall to talk to Xuanyuan Che.

And Xuanyuan Che took the tea poured by Hanmei, and waved her away, "You don't need to serve here for the time being, you go down first, and Lone will call you if you need it." Z.br>

He talked about it, and it didn't seem that he blamed her for the things that Leng Qingxiu did, and suddenly, Han Mei breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly withdrew from the hall, not asking what the two of them were saying inside.

It's just that when she passed by He Hongying, she couldn't help but take a sneak look, and sighed in her heart: I didn't expect that in this world, in addition to her master, there are women who can get so close to Your Majesty, and looking at Your Majesty's attitude towards her, it seems to be quite polite!

And when Hanmei was still thinking about what the two of them would say inside, He Hongying had already knelt down to Xuanyuan Che in the huge hall.

She lowered her eyes, put down the saber at her waist, and said calmly, "Your Majesty is safe and sound, and your subordinates will rest assured."

Xuanyuan Che turned his back to her, not knowing what his expression was, but there was silence around him, and after a long time, he said, "Cousin, I'm afraid I'm going to live an ordinary life in the future, can you get used to it?"

He Hongying was shocked.

She had long known that Xuanyuan Che didn't believe in her and had never really used her, but she didn't expect that now, the black-clothed messenger had been taken down by him sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight, and he was willing to let her go?

He Hongying's hand trembled slightly, held back her reddish eyes, bowed her head and said, "Thank you Your Majesty for your concern, subordinates...... No, I'll get used to it, I'll be an ordinary person, maybe a husband and a child to spend my life happily."

"I can hear that you are quite satisfied with Li Chunyue."

Xuanyuan Che chuckled and raised his hand to her, He Hongying saw this, and then got up from the ground, but still said with a slight hesitation: "It's just Your Majesty, since you have long known that I am not the real He Hongying, and I am also a meticulous work that others put by your side, why can you tolerate me so much."

years?"

Xuanyuan Che looked at her sideways, his ink eyes were slightly raised, and there was obviously no smile in his deep eyes, but his expression was gentler than before.

"Ten years ago, what right did I have to expel you?"

Ten years ago, he was just a remnant of the royal family who had just escaped from killing and conspiracy, and naturally he had to rely on all the forces that could survive to survive, even if the other party just wanted to use him.

He Hongying paused slightly, and then lowered her eyes and said, "But later, you are fully capable of pulling out my chess piece......

"Do you want to hear the truth or lie?"

Xuanyuan Che approached her and looked at this "cousin" condescendingly, a pair of eyes were clear and calm, but they made people feel the hidden edge and sharpness.

He Hongying's heart jumped, and she couldn't help but look up at him and nodded: "I want to hear Your Majesty tell the truth."

Xuanyuan Che smiled, but the smile did not reach the bottom of his eyes, but a deep cold, looked directly at He Hongying and said: "Later, I did have the ability to uproot you, and even seven years ago, I could completely wipe you out, but if I kill you, your master will send another chess piece to keep an eye on me, maybe that person will be like a poisonous snake hidden in the dark, ready to bite me to death at any time, or bite Zhu Jiu who will hinder me."

He Hongying's body stiffened slightly, even though she heard this answer, she still couldn't help but feel chills in her heart.

It turns out that His Majesty sees her like this, and the reason why he doesn't get rid of her is just because the chess pieces on the surface are more reassuring than the eyeliner in the secret.

But she has protected him since she was a child and grew up with him, is this friendship not as important as Zhu Jiulai, who saved his life and protected him from growing up safely in the General's Mansion?

He would rather choose Zhu Jiu than her.

She also thought that the reason why Xuanyuan Che would protect her in the hands of the black-clothed messenger and arrange such a good marriage for her was because he cared for her and really had some true feelings for her......

And Xuanyuan Che doesn't kill her now, it's also because she's useless, and there's no need to let him be on guard, so can he be sent away at will?

He Hongying slowly lowered her eyes, the unwillingness in her eyes became more and more intense, but it was only a flash, she quickly calmed down, and smiled at Xuanyuan Che, as gentle as ever: "Then I will thank Your Majesty for your grace not to kill."

Then he saluted Xuanyuan Che and left.

In the hall, Xuanyuan Che didn't turn his head to look at her from beginning to end, but just lowered his eyes, and the fragments of memories of the past ten years flashed in his mind.

He Hongying had a purpose from the beginning of approaching him, if it weren't for Xuanyuan Che who knew how to curry favor with her and use her at the beginning, he was afraid that he would have been killed by her a long time ago.

Later, she lost her intent to kill him, and she paid a little sincerity, and even disobeyed the orders of the black-clothed messenger, just because she didn't want to be a pawn of the black-clothed messenger, and she didn't want to be an elephant slave anymore.
