Wan Ning made a pot of tea, which was the green tea that the emperor wanted to drink, and the faint fragrance of tea could be smelled from a distance. She filled the Emperor's teacup and brought it to him. He took a few sips, half a cup of tea, and then he didn't drink any more, except for the teacups to sit quietly on the empty round table. The Emperor fell silent again, his eyes looking out the window from time to time.
Wan Ning sat opposite him, and she felt that the emperor's mood was a little heavy at this time, and she deliberately behaved actively. Sit flat with your legs stretched out, your feet restlessly bouncing up and down. If the emperor pulls back his thoughts from afar and puts a little focus on her, he must wonder what kind of lady this is!
"Your Majesty, a few days ago in the palace of the concubine, thank you for relieving the slave maid, otherwise, the slave and maid really don't know how to end it."
The Emperor didn't speak, because he knew Wan Ning, and if she really appreciated this little favor this time, she would say it as soon as they met. Now that he said it, it showed that she was no longer taking it seriously in her subconscious, and he was satisfied with Wanning's gradual dependence on him. And he knew that this little girl must have more important things to say at the moment.
Sure enough, Wan Ning continued: "This is not the first time that this kind of difficult situation has occurred, and she even occasionally struggles on the edge of life and death. You must also be able to see that the slave maid is really incompatible with this palace. So, please allow the slave and maid to leave as soon as possibleβ"
Before Wanning finished speaking, she was interrupted by the emperor: "Don't say it, I won't agree." He withdrew his eyes from the window, turned his face and said, "Some of the dilemmas you have to face, what are you afraid of?" Besides, you can come to the palace if you want, and you can leave when you want, where are you here? I have allowed you to return to the Li Mansion at any time, and I have been very tolerant of you. β
Wan Ning suddenly felt that what the emperor said was also reasonable. The imperial power is supreme, and the palace is really not a place where you can come and go freely. At the beginning, for the sake of his father and for the Li family to get close to the emperor, now that the goal has been achieved, he slapped his ass and left. No wonder the emperor would refuse. However, her current identity is still a palace maid, and if she doesn't leave the palace, how can she marry Brother Ziang?
The emperor's categorical attitude made Wanning feel that it was impossible to leave the palace at this time. Her fingers curled at the corners of her clothes, and she said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, don't you want to trouble you?" It makes slaves and maids like a source of trouble. The slave didn't want to, she just wanted to leave the environment she wasn't used to and avoid adding unnecessary troubles. β
The emperor did not respond to her, and fell silent again.
"Your Majesty, do you often feel lonely? In order to get imperial power, you put aside family affection and almost everything. But then again, if you want to rule the world and sit on the throne, you naturally have to pay some. β
Wan Ning's few words without a beginning or end made the emperor pull her to his side again.
He took Wanning's hand and asked, "Wanning, what about you?" Did you pay? β
Wan Ning found that the emperor at this time was probably out of his mind under the influence of alcohol. "Your Majesty, you're drunk."
The emperor looked at her and said firmly, "I am not drunk. Then he turned his face and bowed his head slightly, "It's not that mean, is it?" β
"Your Majesty, the slave didn't say that you were despicable, you said it yourself. You have always been a true gentleman in the heart of the slave. "Actually, Wanning doesn't know what the emperor is talking about, one moment he says he wants to pay, and the other time he says that he is not despicable, isn't it a contradiction?
I saw him propping up his head with his arms again, his brows furrowed, and he looked in pain. Wan Ning reached out to take his teacup and said, "Your Majesty, will the slave make you another cup of tea?" β
Before she could reach the teacup, the emperor grabbed her warm arm and pulled it into his arms. He then turned around and pressed Wan Ning under him. This move scared Wan Ning half to death, and she forced herself to stay calm, intending to wait for an opportunity to escape.
The emperor didn't immediately act rude, but just stared at her flower-like face: "Fang just asked to leave the palace, are you going to marry him?" What is it about me that I am inferior to him? β
"Your Majesty, how is that possible? His father is still in prison because of the Li family. How can the Gao family accept me? β
"Do I care about that? What I care about is that your heart can't tolerate me. The whole world is my territory, and you don't even have a place of my size in your heart. β
"Since the slave maid entered the palace, after only seeing you a few times, she has been impressed by your wisdom and martial arts. When I saw you for the first time, I deeply felt your majesty and innate nobility, not angry and self-imposing, and the whole person emitted a kind of king air that shocked the world. β
The emperor relaxed slightly: "What do you mean?" β
"Slaves adore you. But the emperor, this is not the love of men and women. If there is no slave maid before the birth of the finger for marriage, and later meet the emperor, the slave must be as you think, loyal. But at the moment, this assumption is obviously not true, once a person is moved by the truth, he should start from the beginning. β
Wan Ning suddenly felt that she was stupid and reasoned with a drunken person.
The corners of the emperor's mouth turned up slightly, and he said a little proudly: "Maybe after tonight, you will have my territory in your heart." β
"Then the emperor, what you will see in a moment will be a corpse." Wan Ning raised a dagger that glowed white and struck at her neck. The emperor reacted quickly and immediately came to grab the dagger, but the stubborn Wan Ning still did not let go of herself.
The dagger in his hand was snatched again, and he was too restless to hurt himself. The tip of the knife slashed mercilessly through her arm, and blood flowed instantly. Wan Ning shrank to the wall, hugged her arms, and the pain made her cry flow.
The emperor cheered up, found a medicine box, and bandaged her with his own hands, without alarming anyone. It is a capital crime to present a sharp weapon in front of the king! He was also there to protect Wan Ning.
After the bandage, the emperor sat beside her, looked at her intently, and sighed deeply. A series of shocks, followed by sharp pain, tormented Wan Ning, she glanced at the emperor, reached out and wiped the tears on her face a few times, and maybe sweat.
"Why is it beneficial? Are you trying to kill me? The Emperor asked.
Wan Ning was still in tears, sniffed, and replied in a low voice: "The slave doesn't dare, she just wants to end herself up at some critical moment." β
"You're really not afraid of death. If the news of tonight's events gets out, you will also be guilty of a capital offense. β
"Who can not fear death? But your majesty, you will make the life of the slave worse than death! β
The emperor was angry: "You have some relationship with the Gao family, right?" If you dare to threaten me with death again, I will definitely bring the entire Gao family to your funeral! As soon as the words fell, he walked over to the couch and rushed out the door.
