Chapter 6: The Father and the Son
An hour later, Chief Manager Li, who had sent the prince away, appeared in the imperial study, where the emperor was waiting for his reply.
"What? You said Concubine Yun might have come down from the Upper Realm?" the emperor was taken aback.
The slave was also very surprised when he first heard it, but Concubine Yun's depiction of the place where she used to live was amazing, and it sounded like she had a nose and eyes. Manager Li hesitated for a moment and continued.
"The main thing is that the slave remembers in a trance that when the previous national teacher was in a good mood, he also mentioned some things about the upper realm, which are very similar to what Concubine Yun said, so I can't eat it accurately. Manager Li's face was not good-looking, he really didn't expect that it was just an ordinary woman brought back by the prince from outside the palace, and it was even involved in the upper realm.
"Okay, you've made a big contribution this time, go down and get your reward. After Chief Manager Li repeated what he heard outside the Yun Yi Gate, the emperor spoke.
Manager Li thanked him with a smile, and when he bowed and retreated, he suddenly patted his head: "Look at the brains of the slaves, Your Majesty, in the end, Concubine Yun Niangniang also mentioned one thing." ”
"Oh, what's the matter?" the emperor raised an eyebrow.
Concubine Yun said that she was too bored in the Lanyue Palace, and asked His Royal Highness the Crown Prince if he could mention it to the emperor and let her look around the palace, so that she might be able to think of more things. ”
Mr. Li said to the emperor in a smug manner: "According to the slave, Niangniang is looking for the emperor, the prince is just a messenger, since you know all about this, just go and tell Niangniang in person, Niangniang must be happy to hear this, and save His Royal Highness the Prince." ”
After listening attentively, the emperor laughed and said: "You guy! I have loved to play clever since I was a child, but this time I have to praise you, this little clever has finally been used in the right way." Don't be in a hurry to receive the reward, and tell the people below to go to Concubine Yun with me, and when I come back, I will give you another reward. ”
The prince, who didn't know that this matter had been cut off by his father, was now complacent and ordered his subordinates to prepare gifts, planning to go to Yun Yi tomorrow as soon as he got the good news, so as to get Yun Yi's favor.
The prince imagined that Yun Yi would be full of gratitude and deep affection for him, and shyly and timidly expressed his willingness to have a fish and water fun with him, if only he could give him another child, it would be better, this is a person from the upper realm, how can he not seize the opportunity!
In a sense, the crown prince and the emperor are really worthy of being father and son, and their plans are exactly the same.
Yun Yi was having dinner when he heard the news that the emperor was coming, although he was very worried about him, but this move had to be taken, otherwise he would have to be trapped here.
The emperor lingered for a long time before entering the door, and Yun Yi, who had been in the house for a long time, was impatient, and finally walked in with a sad face.
"Cloud ...... Girl," the emperor didn't even dare to call Concubine Yun, for fear that Yun Yi would be unhappy when he heard it, "I was presumptuous before, and I made an order before I asked Miss Yun what she meant, so it was right for Miss Yun to be angry with me that day." ”
As he spoke, the emperor carefully looked at Yun Yi's face, don't look at him as an emperor, he is very skilled in looking at people's faces, this is also a compulsory course for every emperor of Nanzhao Kingdom, there is a national teacher This mountain is pressed on the top of his head, no matter how cautious he is, it is not too much.
"I blamed me for not saying it clearly before, Miss Yun rest assured, this concubine is mainly to give you an identity, I promise that I will never do anything to make Miss Yun angry in the future. He swore by this, as if he hadn't thought about letting Yun Yi give birth to a child for him.
Yun Yi didn't expect that the emperor of Nanzhao Kingdom would be so able to bend and stretch, and he could give up his subordinates to apologize to himself, and he couldn't help but be surprised.
She knew that after the previous incident, the emperor would never dare to be herself again, but admitting her mistakes so easily was something that the emperor basically couldn't do in her previous history books.
All the words prepared before were blocked by these words from the emperor, and Yun Yi could only nod: "I know that the emperor is worried that I will be bullied when I first come and have no identity, and you are also kind." When she said this, she signaled that the matter was over and that she didn't mind.
This topic ended here, and the emperor immediately asked her with a concerned face: "I heard from the people below that Miss Yun has been staying in the Lanyue Hall since she woke up, and she has not even left the door. This is really unacceptable, according to me, Miss Yun has recovered from a long illness, so it is better to go out more and relax. ”
Yun Yi was almost stunned by his ability to talk nonsense with his eyes open, how could this be that she didn't want to go out, could it be that the guards with knives who stood at the door when she wanted to go out before were fake? Yun Yi didn't believe that they would dare to do this without the emperor's order.
However, he still had to nod and echo the emperor's words: "Yes, after being in the house for so many days, it's time to go out for a walk, and I can't say that I can meet more good sisters in the future!"
"There are still some good places to go in my palace, you must go to see the imperial garden, and the carp pond, lotus pavilion, and Liuyingtai are also places with excellent scenery, yes, it is better to let me take Miss Yun to walk around the palace tomorrow!" The emperor just didn't hear the sarcasm in Yun Yi's words at all, and only cared about enthusiastically introducing the scenery in the palace to Yun Yi.
The so-called stretching out his hand and not hitting the smiling person, Yun Yi had no choice but to hook the corners of his mouth and smile: "This doesn't bother the emperor, Yun Yi is just an idler, how can he compare to your daily management, work all day long, delay your time, Yun Yi is a sinner." ”
The emperor repeatedly invited but was still rejected by Yun Yi, and in the end, he could only regretfully order the palace maids and eunuchs of the Moon Palace to serve Yun Yi, and also called a few guards to accompany Yun Yi when he traveled, saying that he wanted to protect Yun Yi's safety, but he didn't know who was really protecting.
After everything was explained, the emperor asked many questions about Yun Yi's previous life, and it was not until the evening that he finally reluctantly drove back to the palace.
Finally, Yun Yi, who was left alone, hurriedly washed up and lay down on the bed, she was not a good communicator, and today she was able to deal with this father and son who were very good at showmanship, which really made her physically and mentally exhausted.
When she was drowsy, Yun Yi suddenly felt that the mark on her wrist began to heat up, was this about to start transforming her body again? Thinking like this, she had completely fallen asleep.
Time passed slowly, Xu was sure that Yun Yi was really asleep, and a vague figure suddenly appeared in front of her bed, and the figure stretched out a hand to Yun Yi, and it seemed that he was still holding a weapon made of metal, faintly emitting a cold light under the reflection of the moonlight, and was about to pierce Yun Yi's heart.
Seeing that Yun Yi was about to die on the spot, he only heard a muffled snort, and the figure suddenly shrank into a ball, and then disappeared.
Inside the house, Yun Yi, who was lying on the bed, suddenly opened his eyes and looked out of the window, the window was open, and the moonlight was shining gently into the room through the gap.
Reaching out and touching the mark on his wrist that was flashing with red light, Yun Yi smiled silently and closed his eyes again.
