Zhu Huang was about to speak when he heard this, but after thinking for a while, he said, "Old General, Brother Su, please don't think I'm foul-mouthed. For the past three years, I have been listening to your Majesty being so aggrieved. I actually want to come back, but the late emperor gave me a death order. If your Majesty hadn't taken the initiative to summon me, I would not be able to come back even if I died in Shu."
"But there's not a day that I don't want to come back. Damn Yang Shanchang, what an ungrateful guy. If the late emperor hadn't promoted him, would he have achieved what he has now? And if the late emperor hadn't stopped his son, I would have killed Yang Guofu long ago. How could he just be blinded in one eye? And Yang Shanchang, the late emperor asked him to help His Majesty, but he turned around and started to covet power for me!"
"That's because I'm not in the capital. If I were, even if I was charged with murdering a high-ranking official, I would kill his entire family! At worst, I could go to see the late emperor a few years earlier and kowtow to him hundreds of times to beg for forgiveness."
"I won't say anything about Zong Ze and those people in Longxi. The late emperor issued an order that no matter how chaotic Daxia is, we cannot allow foreign races to invade and disrupt our China! That's why we can't move!"
"But you two are just sitting here doing nothing, right?! You are just watching Yang Shanchang and that crazy woman forcing our emperor step by step, right? Marrying a wife and still being talked about? Damn it! She is the emperor! Just watching like that! I came to Beijing this time, one is to help our emperor kill people, and the other is to scold you two useless things!!"
"Don't tell me that I have my own reasons, that His Majesty doesn't trust me, so I can't do anything, that I can't stop that bastard Yang Shanchang, and that I can only secretly help His Majesty build up power, or some such bullshit!! And don't say anything like the late emperor asked you to watch what His Majesty does!! How can you bear to watch these people bully the girl I have watched grow up!"
"She was just a little girl three years ago!! She was all alone! Thanks to her great strength, she survived. If something really happened, how would you two face the late emperor! How would you face the late empress!!"
At the end, Zhu Huang stopped lying down and stood up, pointing at the two idiots, cursing them more and more dirty, with tears on his face.
"I'm in Shu, looking towards Luo'an every day, begging me to come back. Every ten days or so, I send a letter of greeting, hoping to ask me to come back to Beijing. This time, I got what I wanted. I was so excited that I rode my horse over here. My butt is so rotten! But what are you two doing?!"
"When I was talking to His Majesty yesterday, I felt so heartbroken when I saw her like that!"
Su Wenqing and Meng Qin lowered their heads, neither refutating nor saying anything extra.
There are difficulties.
But it cannot be used as an excuse.
I was so focused on protecting His Majesty's safety that I forgot some things.
Wrong, just wrong!
They have confessed their sins to His Majesty and apologized to him.
Now they are being scolded by Zhu Huang, they deserve it.
Snapped!
Just then.
Yan Yunxiao jumped down from the wall and walked to the table. He picked up the pot of wine and smelled it: "Hmm, it smells good. Give me a pot some other day."
After saying that, he looked at Zhu Huang and said, "The late emperor said that if you bark like a dog and curse people when you return to the capital, let me tell you to be a good person and stop barking like a dog."
Zhu Huang looked at Yan Yunxiao.
Yan Yunxiao continued, "Also let me ask you, is this girl emperor powerful enough? Is she comparable to him back then? Do you accept it?"
After that, Yan Yunxiao took out another wine gourd: "I asked for this for you. The female doctor beside the queen is quite capable. Drinking this wine will make your butt heal faster."
After saying this, Yan Yunxiao found a stool and sat down, crossed his legs, and looked at Zhu Huang: "I was also left behind by the late emperor, so if you want to scold me, scold me too."
Zhu Huang wiped away his tears, looked at Yan Yunxiao and said with a smile: "How dare I scold you."
But he sobbed and looked at Yan Yunxiao and asked carefully: "Did our late emperor really ask me that?"
Yan Yunxiao replied: "Not only did I ask you, but we all asked you that."
Zhu Huang grinned, and without caring whether his butt hurt or not, he knelt down in the direction of the royal ancestral temple in the east, kowtowed three times, and said, "I surrender!"
Yan Yunxiao didn't say anything. He just took a sip of wine and looked at the osmanthus flowers above his head.
When did the late emperor ask me whether I was willing to protect His Majesty?
It was probably time to walk quickly.
Forget it, why think about these things? If something really happens, just take His Majesty and the Queen away.
And if something really happens, we will be the ones to blame.
but
Your Majesty and the Queen went to the Flower Garden, right?
Did you go to the flower museum at the same time that year?
Is the courtesan from back then now the madam of that place?
forget.
but
It seems that the late emperor proposed to the late empress on that day. Hmm. It seemed to be the Mid-Autumn Festival of that year. But he was beaten by the late empress because she was too shy.
Chapter 114 Can I kiss you? The kind of super happy
Xia Zhixu was a member of a group of three.
In addition to Meng Shaoan, Mr. Fang was also there.
However, Xia Zhixu didn't greet anyone, so even though he was sitting in the private room next to Yang Guofu's son Yang Yunzhong, the other party didn't know he was there.
In his own words, why say hello to trash?
Originally, Xia Zhixu was introducing to Meng Shaoan how great the Shihua Pavilion was, and what advantages Liu Baishi had compared to Su Changan.
But after all, compared to Su Changan, it seems that Liu Baishi can only dance, sing and play the piano.
It can't be compared with other places in any way.
However, Xia Zhixu was very confident that he could meet Liu Baishi. The reason was simple: Liu Baishi admired Su Changan, and he had sent people to inquire about the situation. Liu Baishi once wanted to spend three thousand taels to buy Su Changan's calligraphy and painting.
But others can’t buy it.
But Xia Zhixu had plenty of them, and he spent several thousand taels to buy so many of them, which made many people laugh at him.
What's the result now?
From the previous events to the end of the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet, Su Changan, the future empress, is now known as the "fallen immortal" in literary works. There are people in the market who are willing to spend 10,000 taels to buy the complete poems.
What a concept!
He, Xia Zhixu, has become rich!
Those who once laughed at him have now become the laughing stock themselves.
So Xia Zhixu has been in a good mood since this morning.
But now
I can't laugh anymore.
Looking at Yan Ruyu walking in front, Xia Zhixu asked tentatively: "Commander Yan, what does my sister want to see me for? And why is she here? This is not a place for someone of her status to come."
Commander Yan turned around and looked at Xia Zhixu with a cold expression: "Your Highness, are you going to intervene in the affairs of His Majesty?"
Hearing this, Xia Zhixu immediately shook his head: "No, no, this is really scary. After all, I'm eating, drinking, and chatting, and suddenly they call me over. It's really scary."
In fact, to tell the truth, Xia Zhixu didn't dare to see his cousin. He had been bullied since he was a child. When he grew up and became the empress, he was even more afraid to see her.
Especially because of his father who was so anxious for no reason and was always trying to make trouble, he was even more afraid to see Xia Fengxiang.
Yan Ruyu turned around and stopped looking at Xia Zhixu, but still said, "Just call His Highness the Crown Prince and follow him. Why are you asking so many questions?"
Xia Zhixu curled his lips, but his eyes accidentally saw a brothel girl downstairs with her hands on her hips, her bellyband on the upper body about to fall off, her plump figure was about to show, and he couldn't take his eyes away.
It seemed as if he had forgotten that he was going to meet the empress.
And behind him.
Meng Shaoan was nervous and a little confused. Although it was not the first time he saw His Majesty, he was far away last night, but today he was going to meet him face to face.
Mr. Fang was calm and composed. He glanced at Xia Zhixu's expression at the moment, smiled slightly, and was looking forward to meeting the empress.
Yan Ruyu glanced at the scene the prince was watching downstairs, and a look of disgust flashed across her face.
Yan Ruyu disliked this prince very much. Although this prince had never publicly expressed hostility towards His Majesty like the Eighth Prince,
If she had to say who she hated more between the Eighth Prince and the Crown Prince, Yan Ruyu would choose the Crown Prince.
Su Changan and Xia Fengxiang had been waiting for a long time, and they knew that Meng Shaoan and Mr. Fang were also there, so when Yan Ruyu brought people over, they didn't think anything of it.
After entering the room, I naturally closed the door.
Xia Zhixu was a little surprised that Su Changan was there too. He wondered why this young couple came to the brothel, but he didn't think too much about it. After all, there were so many strange things, especially more this year, so he immediately saluted with a playful smile: "Xia Zhixu, meet your majesty. Meet Miss Changan."
Behind him, Meng Shaoan swallowed his saliva, bowed, and said in a trembling voice: "Student Meng Shaoan greets His Majesty. Greetings to Miss Chang'an."
Mr. Fang was calm and composed, and bowed and saluted: "I am Fang Wenhe, the humble servant, paying my respects to Your Majesty and Miss Chang'an."
It was fine for the other two, but after Mr. Fang introduced himself at the end, Su Changan noticed that Yan Ruyu's expression changed.
Is there any background?
Su Changan looked at Mr. Fang curiously.
Xia Fengxiang waved his hand, signaling the three to stand up. However, looking at the smiling Xia Zhixu, he asked with a smile, "Your Highness is quite rich."
Xia Zhixu was stunned for a moment, then she said with a sad face: "Sister, we have to have real evidence when we talk. I am the only one who has money? I am so poor that I have to rely on selling things at home to make a living every day."
Xia Fengxiang smiled and said, "When I bought your sister-in-law's writing instruments, I spent a total of more than 5,400 taels. Now any one of them is worth more than 1,000 taels, not to mention the others. It's at least 20,000 or 30,000 taels, right? Don't you have money?"
Xia Zhixu pursed her lips, and seeing her cousin looking at her with amusement, her heart skipped a beat, and she immediately said, "I bought it, too, Your Majesty, you won't take it away, will you?"
At this point, Xia Zhixu looked at Su Changan: "And I... um~~ it's right to call you sister-in-law."
Seeing that Xia Fengxiang and Su Changan didn't say anything, Xia Zhixu immediately said, "Really? My sister-in-law didn't say anything, you can't do something that would bring down your status."
Su Changan looked at the behavior of this Crown Prince and thought that there was a big gap between him and the Eighth Prince. He wondered if they were his biological sons.
But even though he thought so, he still agreed with Xia Fengxiang and said, "Those things were sold by my brother without my permission, so strictly speaking, they still belong to me."
Xia Zhixu was stunned, and then immediately said: "I bought it with real money. You were there when the transaction was taking place."
Su Changan shook his head: "Although I was at the scene, I didn't know that the things being sold were mine."
Xia Zhixu became anxious and almost blurted out, "You are lying with open eyes."
But after thinking about it, he decided not to tell it because Su Changan's status was quite high. If he told it, he might get beaten. He believed that Xia Fengxiang could do it.
Xia Fengxiang said, "I won't steal it from you. You bought it for 5,400 taels, so I'll buy it back at the original price."
Without waiting for Xia Zhixu to speak, Xia Fengxiang looked at Yan Ruyu and said, "Tomorrow, Ruyu, you go there."
Yan Ruyu clasped her fists.
