Chapter 193: Would You Rather? (2-in-1)

When Chen Daolin was still in a daze, the emperor had already slowly walked out of the water, stood on the lawn and glanced back at Chen Daolin, and actually smiled: "Little Darling, have you soaked enough?"

“...... Enough soaking. ”

"If you've soaked enough, come up. The emperor beckoned to him and said with a smile: "Fang Cai's lunch has been disturbed, and after talking for so long, I am suddenly a little hungry again." ”

......

To Chen Daolin's surprise, the emperor's order was still to eat in this garden!!

A short but thrilling assassination had just taken place here, but as soon as the emperor gave the order, a group of servants immediately rushed in, and in a matter of moments, all the ruins and corpses on the ground were cleaned up, and even the blood stains on the grass were washed away!

The tables and chairs were reared up, beautiful pure gold cutlery, crystal clear wine glasses......

Seeing that the servants were busy in an orderly manner, the lunch had already been rearranged in front of them.

The emperor pointed to the table and said with a smile, "Sit down, we can continue the conversation...... I mean, the topic before the assassination. ”

Chen Daolin was a little absent-minded, he sat down blankly, and looked at the emperor sitting opposite him. He looked down at the cutlery in front of him, at the already filled glass......

Then he looked up and looked at the emperor with a strange look.

"What's the matter?" the emperor seemed to be smiling happily, and his tone was full of amusement: "Do you know? It looks a bit like an urgency to urinate. ”

Regarding this joke, Chen Daolin just reluctantly pulled the corners of his mouth.

"Say whatever you want. The emperor actually picked up the cup in front of him, took a shallow sip, and then put down the glass and looked at Chen Daolin's eyes: "You saved my life just now." So you have the privilege of speaking in front of me now, you know? ”

"I ...... I don't understand. Chen Daolin shook his head and looked at the table and tableware in front of him. Fine wine, he looked at this qiē: "I really don't understand, Your Majesty, and you, are still in the mood to dine, well, I mean, here! in this place." ”

"What's wrong here?"

The emperor's eyes flickered, and at this moment, the affinity aura on his body seemed to fade away in an instant. In its place was the majesty of a proud emperor. He didn't stare or get angry. Just glanced over with that majestic gaze.

Then, His Majesty the Emperor smiled lightly.

"This is the Royal Palace. His voice was soft, but there was an unmistakable confidence and majesty in his tone: "Every inch of land here belongs to me...... I. To be precise, the land on which you are standing now. Every inch is mine from here to thousands of miles away! I can have my lunch anywhere in the world or do whatever I want if I want to!

Yes, that's right, there's just an assassination here! The thieves want to take my life, but what's that! Hmph, I'm the Emperor!"

Speaking of this, the Imperial Supreme lowered his chin slightly, looked at Chen Daolin with a kind of overlooking gaze, and said with a meaningful smile: "Little Darling, do you know what the identity of the emperor represents?"

"......" Chen Daolin shook his head.

"It means that I can do whatever I want!"

The emperor said so in this understated tone.

"I can drink on the execution ground if I want! I can even stand in the most sacred church church and enjoy steak if I want! This is a place of assassination, so what? But this is my land! Every inch and every grass belongs to me! If it is mine, why can't I have lunch on my land?

Those guys, those thieves, they want to kill me, they want to make me restless, they want to make me restless, they want to be restless? Joke! I am the emperor, the master of this empire! Why should I disturb my life for a poor ant? I want to eat, I eat! I want to drink, I drink! Even in a place that has just assassinated me...... No, not to mention that there has just been a single Assassin here, even if 10,000 people have just died here, I can even make this place a grand banquet of singing and dancing at the heart of my order!"

The emperor's tone was still so relaxed and plain, but there was a certain magical power contained in it, but Chen Daolin couldn't say a word.

"Emperor......" The emperor looked at Chen Daolin's eyes: "It means that as long as I want it, I can do it!"

Although the emperor did not raise the volume and decibel of his speech from beginning to end, his tone was so unhurried.

But Chen Daolin can swear that he has never heard such a ...... in his life

Such domineering words!

I can do as long as I want!

......

The afternoon sun was good. Chen Daolin's wet clothes had been changed, he was wearing a soft and dry cotton robe, with green grass under his feet, wine and food on the table, and in front of him sat the most powerful man in the world.

This qiē made Chen Daolin feel unreal. It's as if the previous assassination had never happened.

"Let's move on to you. The emperor picked up the knife, gently cut off a piece of roasted golden melon, and after taking a bite, his tone seemed to be very casual: "You still live in Liszt's house?"

"Yes. Chen Daolin nodded.

"I suppose this must be very uncomfortable, isn't it?" the emperor seemed to find amused: "That old gentleman of the Liszt family is not easy to get along with. ”

Chen Daolin immediately remembered the chance encounter between himself and the patriarch by the lake in the mansion, and then he nodded: "That old gentleman, how to say it, it's a little weird. ”

"I know. The emperor pursed his lips and smiled, wiped the corners of his mouth with a napkin, and said in a low voice: "Tell you a secret." ”

"Huh?" Chen Daolin was stunned.

"I knew that old gentleman when I was ten years old, and I always hated that guy. The emperor spread his hand and pouted, "He doesn't like to talk." Standing in the corner at the banquet, looking at the crowd with his scary eyes, I always felt that he looked like. Hmmm......"

The emperor hesitated for a moment and said with a smile: "It's like in summer, those geckos lying on the wall are motionless. But quietly waiting for the hunt. ”

Chen Daolin smiled bitterly: "It's good that you didn't say that he looked like a poisonous snake hunting for food." ”

"Little Darling. The Emperor shook his head: "Patriarch Liszt is an important figure in the Empire, as the king of a country, how can the patriarch of a family who has made great contributions to the empire be called a poisonous snake? ”

"But that's what you think in your heart. Chen Daolin muttered in a low voice.

But this is just whispering to himself.

The emperor suddenly sighed: "Actually, don't blame this old gentleman too much, I think his current mood must be more depressed than yours." No one thought that Rodelle's chick would suddenly come to such a hand. I think...... The old gentleman must have been annoyed by his daughter. It's a pity, if an opponent in politics or a shopping mall dares to use means against this old gentleman, he will definitely be counterattacked by his thunder. But this method came from his only daughter. This old gentleman. In fact...... It's pathetic, too. ”

Wretched?

I'm even more pitiful, okay!

Chen Daolin secretly cried out. Who am I messing with?!

"Your Majesty ......" Chen Daolin smiled bitterly: "That thing about Luo Daer...... It's really a rumor. I never did anything like that. ”

"I know. The Emperor smiled lightly.

"You...... You know?" Chen Daolin's eyes widened.

The emperor winked at him: "Don't forget, I have ...... Well, what do you mean by that? I have a 'brocade guard'. ”

As he spoke, the emperor seemed to smile very happily: "According to the information I have received. Now that Miss Rodelle is under house arrest on a country farm of the Liszt family, she is not allowed to have contact with the outside world, and she can only vent her anger on horseback every day. She rides a horse every day, jumping around, climbing high and low, where she looks like a pregnant person. ”

Chen Daolin sighed.

"Then what about you, little Darling, what are you going to do?" The emperor put away his smile and looked at Chen Daolin with an interesting look in his eyes: "Are you going to just marry that little girl from Lotelle?" As far as I know, the old gentleman of the Liszt patriarch seems to really have the intention of marrying his daughter to you. ”

"No!" Chen Daolin shook his head resolutely.

"Why not? She's a real lady. With the strong strength and background of the Liszt family, every Qiē of the family will be handed over to her to inherit in the future, if she marries such a woman as his wife......"

"Anyway, no. Chen Daolin shook his head: "I don't like it, so no." ”

The emperor glanced at Chen Daolin, and actually didn't ask any more questions, but suddenly changed the topic: "Okay, do you remember what I said to you before? I'm going to let you do something for me." ”

Chen Daolin immediately remembered, but before the emperor could say it, there was an incident of the waiter blowing himself up and assassinating.

"Originally, I was confident that I would convince you to do this for me. The emperor sighed, but his face was a little embarrassed: "Now...... I'm a little embarrassed. Because you just saved my life, and now I haven't let you work for me, but I already owe you a big favor, and then, if you refuse my request, I'm embarrassed to force you, what can I do? ”

Chen Daolin's heart suddenly became a little nervous.

Listen to the meaning of the emperor's words...... It seems that what he is going to do for himself should be very difficult?

"I don't know what is there about Your Majesty that needs my service?" Chen Daolin looked at the emperor cautiously, and made up his mind in his heart, if the matter is really difficult to do, he must refuse! Anyway, he just saved the emperor's life, and because of the situation, he was embarrassed to use the power of the emperor to oppress himself.

The emperor did not immediately answer Chen Daolin's question, but seemed to say something irrelevant:

"Little Darling, do you know how I first knew you were such a person?"

“...... Is it because your 'Jinyiwei' reported that a boy of unknown origin had abducted Miss Lodell from the Liszt family?" asked Chen Daolin.

"Nope. The Emperor shook his head: "I admit that I received a report on that matter. This is not surprising that the Liszt family is such a wealthy family. Family marriages are likely to determine the future distribution of power and the balance of power. I'll certainly be concerned about these things. But in fact, I had heard of your name long before I got this report. ”

After a pause, the Emperor slowed down: "The first person to mention you in front of me." It's my little aunt. ”

Du Weiwei ...... Well, Lord Messiah?"

Listening to Chen Daolin's words, the emperor suddenly burst out laughing, and he looked at Chen Daolin: "Du Weiwei? It seems that she really admires you and doesn't treat you as an outsider. You must know that the name Du Weiwei is the family name that only the closest people in the tulip family know and use, and she will actually let you call her that. ”

Speaking of this, the emperor put away his smile and nodded solemnly: "Yes, the first person to mention your name to me was her!"

Chen Daolin was speechless.

"This little aunt of mine is out on a long journey. After returning to the imperial capital from the north. Had dinner with me. She told me about that long trip. And then naturally you are mentioned. She just said at the time that this time she went out and met a very interesting one. And the one who amazed her. You have to understand that such an evaluation. From her mouth, it is already an extremely rare compliment!

Our duchess, who has always been above the top, has never taken anyone seriously. For example, the goth you know, in her opinion, is a cold wood with a bit of talent in martial arts. And Panin, in her evaluation, is a self-righteous guy. Of course, she is the Duke of Tulip, a descendant of the great His Highness Du Wei, and the leader of the strongest and most talented young generation in the Empire, and even I don't know what level of strength she has reached now, so she has the right to be proud.

I've known her for so many years, and I've never seen her have such admiration for anyone, and she talks about the days with you, about the countless times you've talked, and every time you surprise her. She even told me that compared with you, those famous scholars in the imperial capital are simply old-fashioned and decadent old scholars. She also told me that your erudition made even the duchess, who had a family history, sigh at it. ”

Speaking of this, the emperor smiled and looked at Chen Daolin: "You see, even our duchess has commented on you like this, so, naturally, I have a great interest in you." And this interest, after these things happened to the Liszt family, became more and more intense. ”

Chen Daolin was silent.

But there was a strong uneasiness in his heart!

I was actually so respected by Du Weiwei's woman...... But this kind of admiration let the emperor in front of him know.

I don't know what's going on, but he seems to have a feeling of "being targeted" in his heart!

"I have never seen this little aunt of mine have such admiration for anyone, such undisguised admiration. You know, when I had dinner with her, she mentioned your name at least twenty times! Usually, even when we mentioned the Empire's only Saint-Rank powerhouse, the Great Sword Master, Kao, she didn't even bother to say it a second time. I've known her for so many years and never seen her ......"

Chen Daolin's heart suddenly began to beat faster! His uneasy premonition became stronger and stronger!

Then he heard the Emperor continue.

“...... I've never seen her eyes shine like that when she mentions a man. ”

(This, this is the ...... That doesn't sound good!)

Chen Daolin's heart trembled fiercely!

"All along, there has been a big problem that has plagued me, and this problem has also made the entire imperial capital pay attention. The emperor spread out his hand and said leisurely: "You should know that according to the tradition of the Roland people, especially the nobles, they all attach great importance to the coming-of-age ceremony! Every nobleman will complete the most important stage of his life at the coming-of-age ceremony, in addition to officially announcing adulthood, that is...... The more important the status of the aristocratic and wealthy families, the more so. Because for every wealthy family, marriage is no longer just a matter of personal love, but a matter of the interests of the entire family.

This rule, even the royal family can not be an exception, even if you are the emperor, when I was still the crown prince, I decided to get married early.

However, the only one of the nobles in the country who can stand above this rule is the Tulip Family.

The Tulip family has risen above the Empire. Their families no longer need to rely on marriage to strengthen their families. It can even be said that all the families are looking at them with their eyes, hoping that their family can marry the daughter of the tulip family, or marry their own daughter into the tulip family.

But. As far as the Tulip family itself is concerned, they have never followed the 'marriage' thing! From the first Tulip Duke, His Royal Highness Du Wei, to Du Weiwei's father, the previous Tulip Duke. People from the Tulip family. They have always been in charge of themselves, and others can't help them at all.

This little aunt of mine has long since passed the age of fifteen, and the coming-of-age ceremony has long passed. However, her marriage has not been finalized for a long time.

You, me, everyone, know that as the Duke of the Tulip Family, she will always get married in the future. I always have to find a man to marry. It is necessary to give birth to blood. In order to inherit the glorious family of the Tulip Family and continue this great inheritance.

However, there is one thing. Let the people who know the inside story, especially me. There are also several bigwigs in the empire, who have trouble sleeping and worrying.

Little Darling, do you know what I'm worried about?"

Chen Daolin's face was so ugly and ugly, his face was a little pale, and his voice was astringent: "Her marriage?"

"Her orientation, to be exact. The emperor actually said it bluntly and bluntly, which surprised Chen Daolin!

"This little aunt of mine, from her girlhood, has evidence of ...... She seems to like women. ”

Chen Daolin's heart sank!

The emperor even said this kind of thing to himself...... That's not a good sign!

He actually told himself about this kind of secret thing...... That means he's set on himself!!

If you know someone else's secret, you have to be responsible!!

"This is something that worries me a lot, and a lot of people are worried. The emperor said slowly: "I think, even idiots know that a woman and a woman alone will never be able to have children! But the tulip is a great family that must not be cut off! Whether it is for the family itself, or for the entire empire, the glorious and great title of tulip must never be severed! It must continue to be preserved, and it must always be preserved!"

In fact, over the years, I have been thinking of various solutions to this matter. I tried to shove all the young talents of the empire in front of this little aunt of mine. The last person I had a crush on was Panin. However, it is a pity that my little aunt did not give a damn at all, did not even bother to say anything about refusal, and completely ignored the matter.

Even if I were the Emperor, I could command any noble family to obey me, but the Tulip family was excepted! I could not force this little aunt of mine to marry anyone.

I am concerned that she is getting older day by day, but she has never shown any interest in any man......"

Finally speaking of this, the emperor stopped his words and looked at Chen Daolin meaningfully - this look made Chen Daolin's heart furious!

“...... Until, she met you!" The Emperor said slowly, "I can hear her admiration and appreciation for you, as well as her curiosity. ”

Chen Daolin cried and stammered, "Your Majesty...... Well, Duke Tulip, she admires me and is curious about me, and she can't just say that she likes me and loves me? ”

"You don't understand. The emperor smiled: "When a woman has a love of admiration or adoration for a man, and has a strong curiosity about him, this emotion is only a thin line away from falling in love with someone." ”

"............" Chen Daolin's hand began to tremble, he grabbed the wine glass in front of him hard, tilted his neck, poured it down, coughed twice, and his face became more and more ugly: "Your Majesty...... You, you won't be ...... It's not going to make me ......."

"Your Excellency Darling, Chen!" the emperor's tone suddenly became extremely stern, he slowly stood up, stared at Chen Daolin's eyes condescendingly, he exuded the majesty of an emperor all over him, word by word, and shouted in a deep voice:

"For the sake of this country, for the hope of this empire, for the ardent expectation of millions of people, and for the sake of the glorious and great name to continue to accompany the imperial legacy...... For all of this noble goal!You, Your Excellency Darling Chan...... Are you willing to go after Duke Tulip?"
