Since the emperor knows it, Wanning can't say it anymore, not to mention that the emperor just said "no need to say it". Wan Ning didn't want to do anything like stabbing her in the back, but this time it involved her life, and she was really resentful in her heart.

Xiao Jieyu colluded with Zuo Linghong, and the emperor couldn't hold back the responsibility of Lord Zuo before the emperor could hold it accountable.

Wan Ning turned over and lay on her side outward, with one arm on her pillow, and the other hand pulled the quilt up, and the whole person was wrapped in it safely. The emperor found her very cute, and it was quite likable to show such a homely appearance in front of the saint.

"Your Majesty, you are not angry because of Xiao Jieyu, do you already know that she colluded with some officials in the court, Lord Zuo already knows the purpose of my entry into the palace, and he uses Xiao Jieyu to kill people and kill people."

"You girl doesn't know that her own brother is an official in the court? I'm going to give her some thin noodles anyway. Don't you know that too? She's just being taken advantage of. ”

Wan Ning understood that even if Xiao Jieyu made a mistake, the emperor would only hold Zuo Linghong accountable, and indulge Xiao Jieyu.

"Your Majesty, this palace is really not a place for people, please don't include slaves and maids in the harem. Within a few days of the slave maid coming to the harem, she almost lost her life. The slave's father is already like this, and I believe that my father doesn't want the slave to be in the palace again. Before his father died, he told him not to enter the palace, but the slaves and maids did not listen to him. Moreover, for slaves, freedom is the most important thing. ”

Wan Ning took her father out, hoping that the emperor would let him go because of a little guilt for him. She struggled to get up, wanted to get out of bed, knelt down and begged the emperor.

The emperor stopped: "You fall asleep, no need to say. Just promise you, I won't force you anymore, but with my charm, I don't believe that there are still women in this world who don't fall for you. ”

"Your Majesty, when is it, are you still in the mood to joke with the slave maid."

"In the future, you can stay in peace, and I promise to leave you a small life. I have checked the family tree, and your Li family is a side branch of the Li clan. Since such a big thing happened to the Li family, the royal family should take care of you. And how can it kill you? ”

"Really? The Li family actually had something to do with the royal family, and the slave maid instantly felt that her status had been raised a lot. ”

"No wonder you don't know, with your father's character, since he doesn't want you to enter the palace, he probably won't tell you this. If you hadn't traveled all the way, you wouldn't have wondered why your father was in a high position at such a young age. ”

"But the slave maid hasn't heard that the ancestors enshrined in our Li family ancestral hall have members of the royal family!" As soon as she finished speaking, Wan Ning felt that her words were inappropriate.

"Just you, a playful girl since childhood, are still ancestors! What do you know? ”

Yes, the emperor in front of me is the second emperor, turning up, there are more brothers and sisters, I really dare not say that it doesn't matter.

If it doesn't matter at all, how could a father adopt Prince Yin's child? Judging from his name alone, he is really the same generation as the princess and the county lord.

Even if it has a relationship, it still can't stop the side eyes of the harem. Which of these concubines doesn't have a head and a face? Either that, or it's intertwined. I can't afford to provoke any of them.

"Your Majesty, don't you think my identity is embarrassing? The slave just wants to be a little palace maid, but she gets your reward. As long as you treat the slave and maid well, the news will spread, making the harem look sideways, and it is inevitable to endure hardship. ”

The emperor glared at her and asked, "Don't worry, no one will dare to touch you in the future." How? Li Wanning, you don't believe me? ”

"Slaves don't dare."

"When you talked about freedom, I want to know, what do you think freedom is? Why are you not free when you come to the palace? It's not like I'm not going to let you out of the palace. ”

"Your Majesty, freedom is not only physical, but most importantly spiritual. You say, why do people live? ”

"I really didn't see that you were not very old, pondering these advanced questions. Then you say, why do people live? ”

Wan Ning lay on her back, her eyes full of infinite yearning: "People live for freedom." The picture is the liberation of the soul, the liberation of the spirit. Not imprisoned by anything, good is good, good is good. Entering the palace and living like Xiao Jieyu, I think it's too pitiful. Of course, it is also a great blessing to be favored by you. It's just that this blessing, the slave and maid are afraid that they can't bear it. Since the decline of the Li family, the slave and maid have nothing to ask for. ”

After listening to Wanning's words, the emperor didn't say a word.

After a while, Wan Ning pulled her thoughts back from the distant sky, turned her head and asked, "Your Majesty, can you go back to the Li Mansion for a few days when the slave and maid are well?" Although my father and mother are gone, I still have memories. ”

The emperor stared at her for a long time before he said slowly, "I promise you." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty. You are truly a wise emperor. ”

"Okay, it's obviously not sycophant. So what are you doing wronged? ”

Wan Ning turned her body again and looked outside: "The slave maid heard that the ministers of the court and the central government have told you the truth, and you never punish crimes." Of course, this is wise, and this is not sycophancy. ”

"I heard, who did you listen to? How does the harem know about the previous dynasty? ”

"It's all spreading, not to mention the harem, even the people of Chang'an City are spreading it. You forgot, you allowed the slave maid to go back to the Li Mansion before, and every time you go back to the mansion, you will hear someone praise the emperor. ”

"A few days after entering the palace, your little mouth has become quite sweet, and I don't know who to learn from."

Wanning's face flushed, and she buried herself in the pillow in shame.

The emperor looked out the window, presumably looking at the height of the rising sun. He turned around and said, "I'm busy, you can recuperate." ”

"Congratulations to the emperor."

Originally, Wanning wanted to listen to Yan'er's words and go back to the house tomorrow, but she really couldn't bear that time. The palace is a place she wants to stay away from, how much she wants to go back to the Li Mansion, and how much she wants to see Brother Ziang.

Taking advantage of the fact that the sun had not yet set, she stubbornly took Yan'er and ran back to Li's mansion.

After notifying Gao Fu, Wan Ning personally ran to the door to greet her brother Ziang.

As soon as Gao Ziang and Yi'er appeared, she rushed over from a distance, regardless of the presence of her subordinates, and threw herself into Gao Ziang's arms.

"Wanning, what's wrong with you? I haven't seen you for a few days, and you miss me like that? ”

Wan Ning burst into tears: "I really want to go back to you." It's really not a place for people to stay in that palace, and I almost won't see you. ”

Hearing this, Gao Ziang restrained her smile, Wanning would not talk nonsense, after saying these words, her body was trembling. He knew it wasn't that simple.

He asked tentatively, "What happened?" ”

But Wan Ning didn't answer him.

He didn't ask any further, if it was really a bad thing, wouldn't it be for her to relive it again?

Until late at night, before returning to Gaofu, while Wanning was asleep, he called Yan'er to the next room and asked everything clearly.
