885, Who is threatening
When Eunuch Kang saw Gu Qianxue coming, he glared angrily, "County Qianxue is so honorable that the emperor waited for a whole day."
Eunuch Kang is the head of the palace. Although he is a servant, he is no less busy than the governor. Being able to wait for a day shows the emperor's attitude.
"It's my fault for keeping the Emperor and Father-in-Law waiting so long." As he spoke, he prepared to pay for the money.
He had already touched the bank note, but he froze.
——She is no longer the Gu Qianxue she was back then. She is no longer the Gu Qianxue who was backed by a rich man. A tael of silver would have to be broken into several petals. How could she have spare money to reward her father-in-law? Furthermore, the father-in-law in front of the emperor is not an ordinary father-in-law. Giving one or two hundred is equivalent to enmity, and the starting price is one thousand taels. However, she does not have a few thousand taels in total.
So, how did the hand reach in, and how did it get out in a desperate manner, it was empty.
Mr. Kang was originally on fire, not only because the emperor was taken into captivity, but also not only because he, the powerful executive, had waited for a whole day, and Princess Qianxue couldn't take out the money. What is the meaning
Princess Qianxue is well-known in the circle for being extravagant. Eunuch Kang thought he would take this opportunity to soothe his injured heart, but looking at it like this, he might not be able to get a single coin.
Eunuch Kang glared at Gu Qianxue, and the shy Gu Qianxue could only pretend not to see it.
"Is Eunuch Kang thirsty? Have some tea?" Qian Xue said.
Eunuch Kang snorted angrily, "Forget it, Gu Shangshu's tea is too precious for our family to drink. Since the princess is back, let's enter the palace with our family."
Gu Qianxue said, "Okay, wait a moment, father-in-law." Then, she dragged Chuyan outside the door, and stuffed the last few thousand taels of silver bills in her pocket into her arms, "The rules of the palace, I can only go in by myself , I’m afraid I won’t be able to take you with me. I’ll hand over this bank note to you, and you must keep it carefully. This is our last property!”
She was afraid that if she accidentally entered the palace, if she tipped habitually, it would be over.
"Okay, princess don't worry." Chu Yan said.
After handing over all her possessions to Chuyan, and eliminating the possibility of her ruining the family, Gu Qianxue went back with peace of mind, and said to Mr. Kang, "Eunuch has been waiting for a long time, let's go."
Eunuch Kang was furious, snorted coldly, turned his head and left.
Everyone came to see him off, not to mention Gu Shangshu, even the Zheng family ran out. After all, Eunuch Kang is not an ordinary person. Gu Qianxue glanced at his family with nostalgia, and there was a kind of desolation of "the wind is rustling and the water is cold". Don't be cut off by the emperor directly.
Go to the palace, all the way smoothly.
The imperial study room is still dignified and solemn.
Because the last time she came to the imperial study room, she not only robbed the emperor, but also killed her. Now that she saw so many majestic guards, Gu Qianxue felt so guilty and ashamed that she couldn't raise her head.
Eunuch Kang gave Gu Qianxue a blank look, and then entered the study.
"Report to the emperor, the servant has brought Princess Qianxue here." said respectfully.
In the morning, Eunuch Kang personally went to the Shangshu Mansion to invite someone, but he did not know Gu Qianxue's whereabouts. After returning to the palace, the emperor asked him to wait until Gu Qianxue came back, so the helpless Eunuch Kang turned back to the Shangshu Mansion.
The emperor put down his pen, "Let her in."
"Yes." Mr. Kang was fair and went out to invite people in person.
The shape of the Nanyue Guoyu Study Room is the same as that of the main hall, but the scale is smaller, but it is also a huge space, and there are many maids and guards serving it.
Gu Qianxue entered the room, anxiously greeting the emperor.
The emperor has no expression on his face, unable to peek into his heart. "You all go down." Fair to Mr. Kang.
Eunuch Kang was surprised, because except for special circumstances, he always stayed at the side of the royal study.
But when the emperor gave the order, he could only leave with a group of servants.
Soon, only the emperor and Gu Qianxue were left in the huge imperial study.
Gu Qianxue stood still, with her head slightly lowered, but she heard the emperor's voice from the dragon chair in front of her, the sound was like a bell.
"Gu Qianxue, do you know what crime you committed?"
Qianxue naturally knew, "Hijacking the emperor, not to mention beheading, even ransacking the family and exterminating the nine clans is all right, but Qianxue has no choice but to hijack the emperor!" She raised her head suddenly, her eyes were burning, "The emperor is wise, naturally I also know that Qianxue has always respected the emperor, not to mention the Zhao family, even our Gu family is also loyal to the emperor. In the civil and military affairs of the whole dynasty, there is absolutely no second important minister who is only loyal to the emperor like Gu Shangshu. An official with no selfish desires and a clean sleeve!"
This statement is half true and half false.
Gu Shangshu really has no selfish desires. After he climbed to the position of Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, he kept his own place and never formed cliques. For the suspicious emperor, he was the most worry-free minister among the important officials.
But the reason for this is not because Gu Shangshu is loyal, it is because he has no ambitions, in other words, he is not motivated.
Gu Qianxue knew these words in her heart and let it go, she would never tell the emperor.
The emperor nodded thoughtfully.
Gu Qianxue continued, "At that time, besides asking the emperor to go to Guandong City, is there any other way? Today the emperor can punish the courtiers, not because of my heart, Gu Qianxue, but because of the hearts of millions of loyal ministers and filial daughters. From now on, I am afraid that no one will dare to bet on the kindness and wisdom of the emperor with all sincerity, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to muster up the courage to watch Nanyue's great country suffer damage in the future, after all... life is precious, right?"
The emperor was unhappy, his voice was full of danger, "Are you threatening me?"
Gu Qianxue was still a little scared. It would be fine if the emperor imprisoned her, and then she would find a way to escape. If the emperor directly wiped her off, wouldn't it be a loss
People have to die, or they die well, or they die wrongly, she chooses the former.
It has been three days since she returned to Beijing, since the emperor waited until today to order Eunuch Kang to summon her in person, it means that the emperor did not want to kill her, and choking the emperor at this time is courting death.
Thinking about it, Gu Qianxue softened her voice, her pretty face forcibly squeezed out a flattery, "My daughter is sorry for the emperor, if the emperor kills his daughter, there will be a princess Qianxue who is loyal to the emperor. Yet?"
From beginning to end, they are playing the "loyalty card".
Finally, the emperor's expression softened slightly, "If I really want to kill you, will I wait until today?"
Qian Xue nodded her head, "The emperor is wise." How could there be cynicism
The emperor never thought of taking Gu Qianxue's life at all, and Qianxue's appearance is so pleasing to the eye, just one glance, the emperor's anger was extinguished, "I ask you, are you satisfied with the reward I gave to your grandfather?"
Qianxue was stunned, and the alarm bells rang in her mind, "The emperor's kindness is so great, and the courtiers are so grateful, how can we use the word 'satisfaction' to describe it?"
The emperor slowly stood up from the dragon chair, and walked out, "Gu Qianxue, remember, I can lift you into the clouds, and I can also hit you into the ground."
Gu Qianxue knew that this was the real threat.
The emperor is warning her that if she wants to live, she must be obedient.
Qian Xue's heart was full of disgust and disgust, but she didn't show it, she smiled, "What does the emperor want Qian Xue to do, tell me."
