Chapter 723: Questioning

There was a cheerful laugh in front of him, and there was a hint of kindness in his majestic voice: "This boy is sincere!" Che'er, no wonder she saved you in the first place, this is also your blessing! ”

Then there was a voice that He Zao was extremely familiar with, as clear as a spring water: "The second girl of the He family has always kept in mind the life-saving grace of the minister!" She has just entered the palace and does not understand the etiquette in the palace, please don't blame her for her rudeness! ”

Almost as soon as that familiar voice entered his ears, all of He Zao's worries and worries came to naught, and in their place, he was more down-to-earth than he had ever been.

With him there, she felt a lot more relieved, and her head didn't seem to be dizzy.

She didn't dare to look up, but she blinked her eyes and saw a kneeling figure in front of her left.

That figure, dressed in a white uniform, was heroic, the one he had always longed to see.

He Zao suddenly felt that her eyes were sore, and she blinked her eyes and forced the wetness back.

The somewhat old voice in front of him smiled: "You kid, you are also a sincere person, get up quickly!" I'm not a mediocre king, I'm going to punish people for no reason, you two get up! ”

The eunuch who heralded the decree walked up to He Zao and whispered: "Second Miss He, Your Majesty will let you get up!" ”

He hurriedly shouted: "Thank you, Your Majesty Longen!" Then he stood up and stood there with his head down.

I felt a scrutiny coming from above, followed by a very gentle tone: "Raise your head and let me look at you!" ”

He Zao slowly raised his head, his eyes didn't dare to look around, he only stared at the void in front of him, he didn't dare to move, and he looked very restrained.

The emperor seemed a little surprised, and said with a smile: "It looks so small! How big is it? ”

He Zao's small face is pink and tender, and it looks very small. In addition, if you are not tall, it is easy to make people feel that you are not very old.

This time, it was Ah Che who replied: "Back to Your Majesty, you are already fourteen years old this year!" ”

"You know that!" After the emperor said a word, he asked He Zao gently: "I heard that the pine flower egg, the iron stick yam, and the yoga that has been popular in the capital recently were all raised by you?" ”

He Zao hurriedly knelt down and replied, a little sincerely afraid: "Back to Your Majesty, it was the people's daughters who did it for their livelihood, and it was all done by accident!" After a pause, he added: "I heard that Your Majesty likes Heyuan jade eggs, and the folk girls are overjoyed!" ”

"Get up, don't kneel down at every turn!"

He Zao hurriedly stood up again: "Thank you, Your Majesty!" ”

Only then did the emperor smile and say, "Your jade eggs, I really like to eat them!" And that shredded yam, it tastes good, I heard that you taught it all ways? ”

He Zao bowed his head: "Folk girls love to eat, so they like to tinker with food!" ”

It's kind of an indirect admission.

"It's not what I expected!" The emperor looked at He Zao twice, and then asked the question: "I heard that it was you who saved my nephew Che'er, what kind of situation was it at the beginning, tell me about it!" I'm curious! ”

He said in a very casual tone.

However, He Zao absolutely did not dare to deal with the past at will.

She had a feeling that the reason why she was called into the palace with such fanfare was for this reason.

If what she said was the slightest bit inappropriate, then their He family and Ah Che would be wiped out!

Her palms were sweaty, but her voice was quite calm, and she couldn't hear the slightest nervousness: "Back to Your Majesty, in fact, Young Master Gu said that the maiden saved his life, but he exaggerated the facts!" At the beginning, it was a few days of Fu, the folk girl and her brothers and sisters in the family went up the back mountain to pinch the honeysuckle, and happened to meet the young master Gu who fell from the tree because he was wearing animal skins, he had already fainted from heat stroke, and the folk girl got some honeysuckle, boiled the decoction and fed him, and Young Master Gu woke up! At that time, even if there were no people waiting to save him, Young Master Gu would have woken up himself! ”

The point of her words is that this is not a life-saving grace.

Of course, this is modesty.

Heat stroke is not a serious illness, but in the past few days, Ah Che, a noble young master who doesn't know anything, fainted in the mountains, and the danger is still very great, at least even if he wakes up, he doesn't know that honeysuckle can cure heat stroke.

The emperor snorted: "Saving is saving, there is no need to prevaricate!" ”

He Zao lowered his head and didn't dare to say anything more.

The other party seemed to think for a while before continuing to ask: "My nephew, naturally surnamed Zhu, why do you call him Young Master Gu?" ”

He Zao chuckled in her heart, wanting to take a look at Ah Che and see if the other party asked her to tell the truth, but she suddenly changed her mind.

Her natural strong alertness made her decide to lie: "Your Majesty, at the beginning, Young Master Gu only said that his surname was Gu, and he was sent out because he had a stepmother and stepbrother in the family, and he was related to Lord Lizheng in the Minnu Village, so the family sent him to the Minnu Village!" Speaking of this, she paused and explained: "The folk girl also just learned that Young Master Gu is not surnamed Gu, but surnamed Zhu ...... The folk girl is terrified! ”

She knelt down again.

This time, the Ninety-Five Venerable above didn't wake her up.

"You never knew Che'er's identity?" The voice seemed to add a bit of sternness.

He Zao didn't know what the importance of this was, but, listening to the emperor's tone, it seemed that Ah Che also said the same thing to him.

She added a little courage to her heart, and nodded in response: "Yes!" The people's daughter has known the emperor's relatives for so long, she is really flattered! ”

"You're lying!"

It was just three words, but it was like a thunderclap, which suddenly sounded in He Zao's ears.

On the back of He Zao's neck, a cold sweat broke out.

There was a little fright on her face, and her little face was hasty and confused, as if she didn't understand why her statement made this Ninety-Five Venerable so angry.

The emperor, who was still smiling gently, suddenly took a bit of a fierce look: "You have already seen the son of the Han family, and after coming to the capital, you met the prince of the prince's mansion, the three of them are brothers and look similar, how dare you say that you don't know Che'er's true identity!" ”

He Zao's head slammed.

This is the biggest flaw!

Her brain spun rapidly, but her mouth opened before she could come up with a foolproof plan in her mind, and the words were very smooth as if they had been rehearsed countless times in advance, echoing in the empty hall: "The folk girl did meet the Han family Gongzi a few times because of business negotiations, but Han Gongzi belonged to a nobleman, how dare the folk girl look at each other!" Moreover, there is a difference between men and women, the folk girl is a woman, she shows up to do business, just to support her family, but she doesn't dare to ruin her reputation, even if she sees Han Gongzi, she also acts with a power fence, so she is really vague about Han Gongzi's appearance, and she has never seen it really! There is a slight suspicion that Han Gongzi and Young Master Gu look a little similar, and they just think that the children of nobles are like this! Never thought much about it! Later, when she met Zhu Shizi in the capital, as soon as the folk girl saw him at first glance, the other party wanted to take the folk girl as a concubine, and the folk girl panicked, where would she take care of seeing the face of the nobleman, and just wanted to leave the capital quickly! That Zhu Shizi, the folk girl met once, but I really didn't know that it would be similar to Young Master Gu! ”
