"If he can sincerely convince Shao Country to become a vassal state of Mu Country, I can spare him." The Emperor agreed to Ling Xiao without even hesitating.
Ling Xiao was taken aback for a moment, and looked at the emperor in astonishment.
But the emperor got up already, as if he didn't want to discuss this matter any more, he went to the desk to write, and approved the official documents, leaving Ling Xiao at the dining table.
Ling Xiao knew what the emperor meant, so he didn't dare to speak again, he just ate a few mouthfuls of food without taste, then asked someone to remove the food, and walked to the emperor's side by himself.
The emperor ignored him and focused on the official documents on the table.
Ling Xiao felt a little uneasy, although the emperor didn't show any obvious displeasure, but he didn't want to talk about this matter with him, which was already a sign of the emperor's displeasure.
Ling Xiao didn't dare to force it, he seemed to be flattering, he walked lightly to the emperor's back, stretched out his hand and lightly pressed the emperor's shoulder.
The emperor paused for a moment, then acquiesced to Ling Xiao's movements, put down the pen, and leaned comfortably on the back of the chair to facilitate Ling Xiao's movements.
Ling Xiao waited on him carefully, his subordinates used the emperor's favorite massage techniques and strength, the emperor breathed a sigh of relief, and slowly closed his eyes.
"After you leave, no one in the palace will serve me comfortably." The emperor said with a sigh.
Hearing this, Ling Xiao was inexplicably happy, he calmed down, and said softly: "It's as long as the emperor likes it."
"I like it, I like it very much." The emperor said, stretched out his hand to pull Ling Xiao into his arms, let Ling Xiao sit on his lap, stared at Ling Xiao softly and said: "I like your ups and downs, Only one point."
The emperor's tone suddenly became harsh, he stretched out his hand and squeezed Ling Xiao's chin, so forcefully that he controlled Ling Xiao to approach him and said, "You need to know who is your man, understand?"
The emperor stared at Ling Xiao with squinted eyes, his eyes exuded a frightening majesty, Ling Xiao was almost out of breath, and Ling Xiao hurriedly nodded in a panic.
Seeing this, the emperor restrained his momentum slightly, and let Ling Xiao go.
Ling Xiao quickly got up from the emperor's arms, and knelt down in front of the emperor.
The emperor got up and said: "Get up, I don't like you always kneeling, from now on, you don't have to be like this in front of me."
As he said that, the emperor passed Ling Xiao and walked out, and when he reached the door, he seemed to have thought of something, he stopped, turned his back to Ling Xiao and said, "Ling Xiao, you are a smart person, don't try to touch me again. bottom line."
As if afraid that these words would pose too much threat to Ling Xiao, the emperor paused, and said again: "As long as you are obedient, I will make you the happiest person in this world."
After speaking, he left without looking back.
Ling Xiao heaved a sigh of relief, covered his pounding heart, got up from the ground, looked at the back of the emperor leaving, and lowered his head in deep thought.
The emperor's last words are probably the bottom line for himself now.
It really is much lower, Ling Xiao sighed.
"My lord." A voice called out from the door.
Ling Xiao raised his head and found that he was pretending to be a maid guarding the door, Ling Xiao raised his eyebrows.
The maid came in, bowed in front of Ling Xiao and said, "My lord, the emperor wants me to take you to the prison to visit the second prince of Shao, will you go?"
Ling Xiao was surprised, the emperor allowed him to visit Fu Yujun? And let the maid take him there
Ling Xiao looked at the maid suspiciously, and asked in disbelief: "The emperor told you to take me to see Fu Yujun?"
The maid smiled and nodded, seeing that Ling Xiao still had an expression of disbelief, the maid narrowed her eyes and said, "Isn't this exactly what you want, my lord?"
Ling Xiao remained silent, he didn't really hope to visit Fu Yujun, he just hoped that Fu Yujun could live, after all Fu Yujun had some friendship with him, and that person was talented, it would be a pity to die.
Now that the emperor has agreed to visit Fu Yujun himself, it is better for him to have a word with Fu Yujun.
Thinking of this, Ling Xiao pursed his lips, waved his hand and said, "Lead the way ahead."
"yes."
The maid saluted, turned and walked in front of Ling Xiao, Ling Xiao followed closely behind.
Fu Yujun was imprisoned in the dungeon of Shao country, while Ling Xiao was in the Wangchun Tower in the capital of Shao country. To get to the dungeon, he had to take a carriage.
And the maid had already prepared the carriage at the door, just waiting for Ling Xiao to go out.
When Ling Xiao went out, what he noticed at first glance was not the gorgeous carriage prepared for him by the maid, but the gorgeous carriage that the emperor used to ride in, but a person kneeling at the door of Wangchun Tower, a person who was so familiar—Hongye.
Hongye knelt alone in front of the Wangchun Tower, without a trace of blood on her face, her expression was full of despair and confusion, her body was crumbling, obviously exhausted.
Ling Xiao frowned, with doubts on his face, he was finally captured by Hongye and brought back to the emperor's side, and she was supposed to be a hero, but at this moment, she knelt on the ground as if she had made a mistake.
This really puzzled Ling Xiao.
Ling Xiao wanted to step forward to inquire, but the maid at the side suddenly stepped in front of Ling Xiao when she saw this, and respectfully saluted him: "My lord, if you don't go to the dungeon, it will be dark, please get in the carriage .”
"No rush." Ling Xiao looked at the sky, shook his head and finished speaking, then wanted to pass the maid and walk towards Hongye.
Seeing this, the maid took a step away, stood in front of Ling Xiao again, and saluted: "My lord, please get in the carriage."
The maid's voice was a bit tough, Ling Xiao was stunned for a moment, and looked at the maid, only to find that the woman's face was full of heroism, and her brows and eyes were full of undeniable coldness.
Ling Xiao raised his eyebrows, he knew it in his heart, he knew that it was the emperor's order not to allow him to get close to Hongye, and he also understood that it would be useless to continue the stalemate, so he turned around and got on the carriage obediently.
The maid was slightly taken aback, let out a sigh of relief, looked back at the pale red leaf, shook her head, turned around and followed Ling Xiao into the carriage.
This action of the maid didn't escape Ling Xiao's eyes, Ling Xiao looked at it, guessed that this maid and Hongye were familiar people, and had an idea in his heart.
After the maid got into the carriage, he leaned close to her and said, "Look at your attire, don't you look like an ordinary maid?"
The maid paused slightly, then bowed her head and replied, "My lord, this subordinate is the master's secret guard."
"Dark guards?" Ling Xiao was surprised, the emperor had never heard of any dark guards in his previous life.
He seemed to be staring at the maid as if he was staring at something strange. The maid felt uncomfortable being stared at by him, so she couldn't help but move slightly and said, "Master, why do you look at this subordinate like that?"
"No, it's just that I never thought about it, the hidden guards also have women." Ling Xiao made up an excuse.
When the maid heard this, she seemed a little unhappy and replied: "The master once said that women are no different from men, and what men can do, so can women."
Ling Xiao was dumbfounded, this maid misunderstood that he looked down on women, he hurriedly explained: "That's not what I meant, what I meant..."
"Okay, son, you don't need to explain to your subordinates. You are the master's person, so you are also the subordinate's master. If you have any questions, just ask."
"..."
As expected of an emperor, his insight is sharp enough, and his personality is straightforward enough.
Ling Xiao secretly agreed in his heart, and he stopped playing around, and asked straightforwardly: "Is Hongye also a secret guard?"
"Hongye?" The maid paused slightly, and replied: "She...is a secret guard, but she is different from her subordinates."
Ling Xiao was surprised, and then asked: "How is it different?"
Hearing this, the maid said with some embarrassment, "My lord, why don't you ask the master about this?"
"..." Ling Xiao was even more surprised, staring at the maid and asking: "You can't say?"
The maid slightly bowed her head towards Ling Xiao and said, "I hope you will forgive me."
Hearing this, Ling Xiao pursed his lips in dissatisfaction, and probed from another angle: "Then what is your relationship with Hongye? Are you familiar with it?"
The maid shook her head: "It's just a few missions together."
"The subordinates are in charge of affairs in the dark. Hongye is stationed in Shao Country by the master to inquire about the news. I am not very familiar with her."
"That's it." Ling Xiao raised his eyebrows, then why did this maid just stare at Hongye with regret
Thinking about this, Ling Xiao asked again: "Then why is Hongye kneeling on the ground this time?"
The maid was taken aback for a moment, and asked in surprise, "Sir, don't you know?"
"..." Ling Xiao was silent, should he know
The maid laughed slightly, and then realized that she was losing her composure. She glanced to the side and replied, "Hongye disobeyed the master's order."
"Defy?" Ling Xiao was puzzled.
The maid explained: "The master gave Hongye an order to bring the young master back before the battle begins."
As if she was afraid that Ling Xiao might misunderstand, the maid hurriedly said: "This is also to protect the young master, so as not to hurt the young master after the battle begins. This is also the purpose of the master to bring Hongye back to you, but..."
The maid paused, and said slightly seriously: "Hongye didn't obey the master's order, but let the young master let him go, which put him in crisis several times... But she probably didn't guess that the young master had such a talent, and let him go, not only You didn't let the young master hurt yourself, but let the young master successfully... save... save the prince of Shao Guo, so that the master's first plan failed."
"Wait..." Ling Xiao frowned: "You say let it go?"
The maid replied: "... Hongye's acupoints have already been untied, and the rope can't threaten her. If she wants, she can bring you back to the young master."
When the maid said this, Ling Xiao's eyes widened in astonishment.
"That is to say, she deliberately let me get involved in the army? Just to get me injured or even...dead?" Ling Xiao said belatedly.
The maid was silent, and half-responsively said: "Young master, stay away from Hongye, she has ulterior motives for you, if you are not so intelligent, you are probably one of the many corpses now."
Ling Xiao shuddered fiercely.
I don't believe it in my heart, when I was with Fu Yujun, this red leaf was pretty good to me.
Many times, she was genuine about her concerns.
Why did she let herself die? He has no grievances with her
Ling Xiao was about to ask some more questions, when the carriage stopped suddenly, and the maid seemed to know what Ling Xiao was thinking, she jumped out of the carriage as if fleeing, and saluted Ling Xiao: "My lord, the dungeon is here."
Ling Xiao had no choice but to get out of the car.
Waiting under the car was not only the maid, but also a vigorous young man in blue casual clothes—Lan Wei.
