Lu Huaijin straightened his expression, raised his eyelids, and looked at Gu Qingyue.

"The emperor wants to ask why he never mentioned it to the emperor since the minister and Zhang Xian have known each other for a long time?"

Gu Qingyue was stunned.

Unexpectedly, his mind had already been seen through by Lu Huaijin.

She licked her pink lips embarrassedly, her eyes dodged, and she lowered her head and only cared about arranging her sleeves, not looking at Lu Huaijin.

The latter was indifferent, and then said: "The emperor has never asked the minister and Zhang Xian if they know each other, and the minister naturally does not have to report to the emperor for everything. ”

"I didn't ask, it's because I didn't know you knew each other. You know that my use of Zhang Xian has attracted a lot of criticism from the DPRK and China, why don't you tell me that you have known each other for a long time? "If the minister tells the emperor that I know Zhang Xian, will there be no more criticism?"

Gu Qingyue half-opened her red lips, blinked her eyes, and quickly thought about Lu Huaijin's question in her mind.

After a while, she lowered her head in a daze.

Even Gu Qingyue herself had to admit it.

If Lu Huaijin had admitted that she had known Zhang Xian, not only would it not be able to solve those criticisms, but it would have made more and more criticisms.

Those courtiers would only think that Gu Qingyue and Lu Huaijin had reached some shady agreement, so they had to use the person recommended by Lu Huaijin.

"When the emperor first used Zhang Xian, he took a fancy to Zhang Xian's extraordinary talent and courage. In this case, whether Zhang Xian and the minister know each other will not affect whether he is enabled by the emperor. Why did the minister have to tell the emperor about the relationship between the minister and Zhang Xian? ”

Gu Qingyue's head was buried even lower.

She pursed her lips slightly, her pink red lips opened and closed, and muttered in a low voice: "I asked you, but now it's you who asks me." ”

Lu Huaijin sneered.

He got up and stepped forward, standing opposite Gu Qingyue across the desk.

"Your Majesty, if you want to ask about the relationship between the minister and Zhang Xian, Zuo just wants to know if there is any shady work between the minister and Zhang Xian, and whether he wants to do anything unfavorable to the court."

Gu Qingyue's throat rolled, she raised her eyes slowly, her eyebrows and eyes flickered, and her pupils instantly became a little more suspicious and uneasy.

She put her hands on her laps, rubbed restlessly up and down, and whispered, "You don't need to say it so obviously. ”

"Since the minister decided to support the emperor to ascend the throne, he has made up his mind that no matter what happens, the minister will continue to support the emperor."

"The minister will not do anything that is sorry for the emperor and the emperor."

"The minister will not allow anyone to want to do such a thing."

Lu Huaijin looked at Gu Qingyue firmly: "I also hope that the emperor will believe in the ministers." ”

Gu Qingyue's eyebrows were tightly locked, and her eyebrows and eyes were furrowed with angular.

She and Lu Huaijin looked at each other for a long time, and finally their bodies softened and let out a long breath.

Gu Qingyue drooped her head, like a child who had done something wrong, and muttered in a low voice: "I'm sorry." ”

Lu Huaijin's eyes paused slightly, as if he didn't believe his ears.

Gu Qingyue lowered her head, not noticing Lu Huaijin's frightened gaze, and continued to take care of herself: "Zhang Xian's acquaintance with me is too coincidental, and I have always had doubts in my heart. I used Zhang Xian, and everyone in the DPRK and China opposed it. ”

"If Zhang Xian himself has a problem, then my step is a big mistake."

"I intend to revive the court, if there is a major mistake in the first step, no one in the court will believe me in the future."

"So ......"

Gu Qingyue raised her head suddenly, and her gaze slammed into Lu Huaijin's gaze.

The two looked at each other.

Gu Qingyue saw her reflection in Lu Huaijin's eyes.

She bit her red lip slightly, her eyes were still a little red, her eyelashes were flashing, and tears were rolling in her eyes.

In an instant, a strange consciousness poured into Gu Qingyue's mind: how could he show his weak side so easily in front of Lu Huaijin?

She's the Empress!

It is the supreme mind of this country.

Why would he show his weakness and concern in front of a courtier?

Gu Qingyue hurriedly shook her head and shook her head again and again, driving those messy thoughts out of her mind.

She quickly turned sideways, avoided Lu Huaijin's gaze, and coughed lightly twice with her fist to her lips.

After waiting for her mood to stabilize a little, Gu Qingyue continued: "Since you have explained the relationship between you and Zhang Xian, I believe that you are." But I still need to think about the matter of Fukang. ”

"The Emperor's ......"

This time, without waiting for Lu Huaijin to finish speaking, Gu Qingyue hurriedly interrupted him: "Okay, if you don't have anything else, go back first." ”

Gu Qingyue said seriously and firmly, but in fact, her heart was beating wildly.

She carefully glanced at Lu Huaijin with her peripheral eyes.

This glance happened to be looking at her with Lu Huaijin's playful gaze.

The two looked at each other.

Gu Qingyue's heart beat faster.

"I said, if you're okay, ...... first"

Before the words fell, he saw Lu Huaijin bypassing the desk and walking straight to Gu Qingyue.

He stood still in front of Gu Qingyue, a lot taller than Gu Qingyue.

Lu Huaijin lowered his head and looked at Gu Qingyue condescendingly.

With broad shoulders and a thin waist, that handsome and handsome face has no flaws.

Even from the perspective of death from the bottom up, Lu Huaijin is still perfect.

Suddenly, Gu Qingyue's heartbeat missed half a beat.

Her red lips opened slightly, her breathing was messy, she didn't move, and she couldn't take her eyes off Lu Huaijin.

A gentle breeze floated by, and the air was filled with familiar smells.

The tip of Gu Qingyue's nose involuntarily moved twice, and her eyebrows tightened slightly.

Why is this smell so familiar?

Where does she seem to have smelled it?

And it's just smelled today!

Gu Qingyue couldn't help but move forward a few more times, wanting to smell more clearly.

I didn't want to be careless, and I ran directly into Lu Huaijin's arms.

The broad chest is exceptionally strong, and the bulging muscles have a sense of déjà vu.

I hate myself because I can't remember when I touched such a strong pectoral muscle.

Gu Qingyue tentatively raised her hand, and the root of her palm fell on Lu Huaijin's chest muscles through the robe.

Feel the more you feel, and you can remember a little!

When Gu Qingyue was still at a loss, Lu Huaijin's indifferent voice came from above her head: "Has the emperor touched enough?" ”

Hearing the sound, Gu Qingyue was like a little beast with its tail stepped on, and suddenly straightened up.

She raised her head, glanced at Lu Huaijin, hurriedly stood up and staggered back a few steps: "Touch what?" What to touch? What did I touch? ”

As Gu Qingyue spoke, she turned her head away in a panic and pretended to arrange her broken hair.

Her heart was beating so fast that it seemed like it was about to pop out of her throat.

After a while, I heard Lu Huaijin smile playfully, and said softly: "What is the emperor panicking about?" Chan just wants to give this to you. ”

Lu Huaijin took out a very delicate white jade bottle from his sleeve and handed it to Gu Qingyue.

"What is this?"

"The emperor has been managing every day lately, and I'm afraid he won't be able to sleep well at night. This stuff helps with a good night's sleep. ”
