The emperor was silent, looking at her with deep eyes.
Hua Chun was a little anxious, and said sincerely: "The life of the guardian is beneficial to the emperor, and the minister will not betray the emperor!"
What did he do to give her the illusion that he would not protect her? Yu Wenjie was very surprised, obviously he felt that he had taken good care of this person, but in the end he didn't even reach a consensus that he would save her life
Slightly raising his eyebrows, he folded his arms and said, "How do I know that you will never betray? People are fickle."
Hua Chun paused, and asked tentatively: "Do you want me to swear a poisonous oath?"
"I don't believe this."
What a coincidence, she didn't believe it either.
With his shoulders slumped, Hua Chun looked at him pitifully and said, "Then what does the emperor want me to do?"
"Show me with practical actions." The emperor said indifferently: "Be there when you are called, concentrate on doing things for me, and don't collude with others. In front of me, let go of all your guard."
Why? On call this she has been doing very well, what does it mean not to collude with other people? She never colluded with anyone! As for being wary...
After all the words have been spread out, why is she still guarding against the emperor? The most important thing now is to unite with the emperor to obtain the greatest protection!
"Your majesty will agree to everything." Hua Chun nodded seriously.
The emperor's expression softened, but he still looked very stern. He stretched out his hand and ticked her: "Come here."
Hua Chun stood up and leaned over cautiously.
"I'm very curious, how did you, a mere woman, spend so many years in the imperial court?"
She is also very curious about this question! But she is not Hua Jinghua, how do you know!
However, referring to his own experience in the modern workplace, Hua Chun said: "With real talents and practical learning, you can go anywhere steadily. As long as no one finds out the identity of the minister, no one will dare to underestimate the minister."
"You are a woman, get along with me alone, don't call yourself a minister." Yu Wenjie said impatiently: "It sounds really awkward."
This person's patriarchal thinking is also a bit serious, Hua Chun curled his lips in displeasure, but he changed his words honestly: "Then use the common name 'I', the emperor doesn't mind?"
The emperor nodded: "Go on."
"That's good." Hua Chun said: "The reason why I didn't choose to resign after I found out that I was a daughter was because I wanted to prove to the world that a daughter's family can also assist the emperor and do great things, no more than a man. Keep your head down."
This is her nonsense, because there is no way to know what Hua Jinghua is thinking, so she can only make up by herself.
The emperor gave her a disgusted look: "So what if you prove it? What you can do doesn't mean other women can do it."
"Then at least I can sit on an equal footing with men. If I can still marry in the future, I won't have to be restrained and bullied by my husband, and I will have an equal status." Hua Chun curled her lips: "It's unreasonable for you to stay here, and you can only marry your husband." A wife cannot divorce her husband."
What are you thinking about? The emperor's face darkened: "With your status, do you still want to marry in the future?"
"People always have dreams, maybe one day I will have a chance to get back on track?" Hua Chun said, "At that time, I must make up for her...to make up for my own regret of not being a woman for so many years."
Slightly narrowing his eyes, the emperor asked: "Leaving aside the crime of deceiving the emperor, how many men dare to marry you with your temperament?"
"Your Majesty, don't underestimate people!" Hua Chun said: "Second brother said that if I were a woman, I would definitely marry and go home."
His eyes darkened, and Yu Wenjie looked at her with a terrifying expression: "Don't think about harming Chang'an!"
"Just say it casually, the emperor doesn't need to take it seriously." Hua Chun hurriedly raised his hands in a bow.
Casually? Obviously he has a good impression of Chang'an, right? They are always sticking together, and the way they look at him is different, full of warm light.
I've never seen her look at others with that look!
The mood suddenly changed, and the emperor said in a deep voice: "As long as you are loyal to me and do what you promised me, I will protect you safe and sound. You are fine now, go out of the palace."
"Yes." Heaved a sigh of relief, Hua Chun turned around and ran away.
As a result, as soon as he left the gate of Zichen Palace, Eunuch Qin said: "Prime Minister, the palace gate has been locked, do you want to rest in the side hall?"
Hua Chun: "..." Looking up at the dark sky, it was really late.
Scratching her head, she said: "Then trouble your father-in-law to tell the emperor that I will sleep in the side hall."
"Yes." Eunuch Qin agreed.
Everything in the side hall is there, except that she has slept in this bed, only He Changan has slept in it.
Sighing, she buried herself in the quilt, and couldn't help but think, since she and the emperor have already been frank, when will she tell He Changan the truth
He really regards himself as his younger brother, and has always taken good care of him. It doesn't seem very good to hide it from him and wait for him to find out. However, if you go to tell him, what should you say so as not to frighten him
Moreover, the fewer people who know about this matter, the better. Is it really necessary for her to let He Changan know about it
After struggling for a long time, there were bursts of thunder outside. It sounded like it was going to rain, and there were also strange sounds on the roof. Hua Chun didn't care much, turned over and fell asleep obediently.
The heavy rain began to fall, and it was thundering, and when she was about to fall asleep, suddenly a stream of cold water leaked from the bed curtain and splashed on her face.
"Wow!" Hua Chun exclaimed, and looked up, the side hall of Zichen Hall, which is majestic, has a leak from the roof!
There was ticking in many places in the house, and the carpet was wet. This is autumn, the rain is still very cold, not to mention the middle of the night.
Shivering, Hua Chun put on his clothes and stood at the door, rubbing his eyes and calling, "Is anyone there?"
It was pitch black in Zichen Hall, and the palace guards outside didn't know where they went, and no one came after calling for a long time.
This is almost flooding Jinshan, and it is absolutely impossible to sleep. Hua Chun hesitated for a moment, but still braved the rain and rushed to the apse.
"Eunuch Qin?"
Normally, there would be eunuchs on duty outside the emperor's bedroom, but I don't know if it was due to the heavy rain, but they all disappeared. He didn't even see Eunuch Qin's figure.
She directly pushed open the palace door, shook the rain all over her body, and sneezed.
"Your Majesty? I'm here to sleep on the soft couch." While walking on tiptoe, Hua Chun whispered, "The side hall is leaking, please forgive my offense."
There was no response in the inner hall, probably falling asleep.
Taking off his wet robe, Huachun lay down on the soft couch, but there was no quilt on the soft couch, and the wind blowing in through the window was also cold.
Between being cold to death and being glared at by the emperor, she hesitated for a long time, but she chose the latter, tiptoed into the inner hall, looked at the sleeping person on the dragon bed, and shook her hand desperately: "Your Majesty !"
Yu Wenjie opened his eyes, his eyes were full of hostility, and still hazy from sleep.
Hua Chun immediately withdrew his hand and said: "The side hall is leaking, the minister has no place to sleep, and there is no quilt on the soft couch. Where did Eunuch Qin go?"
"I don't know." With a thick nasal voice, carrying the displeasure of being awakened from a dream, the emperor stretched out his hand and pulled this person onto the dragon bed, pressing her body with his hands, and pressing her legs with his legs, and said in a muffled voice : "If you make a little more noise, I will push you out and chop you up."
"..." Hua Chun was dumbfounded, the cold pajamas were warmed up by the warm bed and the people next to her, goose bumps appeared on her body, and then she gradually felt at ease.
It seemed that no one had slept with her in his arms for a long time, but this feeling made her feel very familiar again.
It stands to reason that she is outrageous, and even more suspected of bewitching the Holy Majesty. But there was lightning and thunder outside, and there was no one there. This bed was like an isolated island on a stormy sea, and she didn't really want to leave.
Anyway, the emperor doesn't do anything, just get up early and leave tomorrow, right? Hua Chun comforted herself shamelessly, and then fell asleep comfortably with the warmth of others.
…
"Didn't you say that no matter what happens, you will not betray me?"
In the haze, someone shouted hoarsely: "What is it now?"
"Who betrayed whom first?" The woman's voice was clear and tenacious: "I can only thank the emperor for his kindness, and I have no regrets!"
Blood splattered everywhere, and a woman's heart-piercing cry sounded, which made people feel pain in their hearts.
This scene was so strange and familiar, Hua Chun struggled for a while, not knowing who was holding her, even if she tried to go up to see clearly.
The dream was full of fog, and when I woke up, my eyes were full of confusion.
It's not yet dawn outside, but it seems that the time is coming soon. Hua Chun patted his face, carefully pulled out of the emperor's grip, retreated to the soft couch outside and continued to sleep.
After not sleeping for a while, Eunuch Qin came in, took the quilt for her, and said full of doubts: "Prime Minister? The slave was seriously ill last night and couldn't be on duty. Why did you sleep here?"
Hua Chun said with sleepy eyes, "It's raining in the side hall."
Eunuch Qin looked stunned: "Oh yes, there is a leak in the side hall, so I sent someone to repair it right away."
"En." Hua Chun agreed, wrapped in a quilt and continued to sleep.
Yu Wenjie on the dragon bed opened his eyes, looked blankly at the top of the bed for a while, got up and stared blankly for a while, walked to the side of the soft couch and looked at Hua Jinghua's sleeping face.
Why did he dream of her again? It was still a strange dream.
Stretching out his hand, he poked her pouting mouth, accidentally getting some saliva, the emperor wiped it on her quilt in disgust, and then smiled.
At dawn, this smile is very beautiful, with a bit of cunning and calculation, but also a bit of gentleness.
It's a pity that Huachun is invisible.
In the early morning, Hua Chun finished packing and followed the emperor to the Xuanzheng Hall.
"Did you sleep well last night?" the emperor asked lightly.
With a slight flush on his face, Hua Chun coughed dryly twice: "It's pretty good."
"Then behave well today. After the court, I will receive the Xixia envoys."
"I understand."
If you want people to stand by you, the most important thing is to have your own skills. Hua Chun secretly made up her mind, since the emperor wants the gold mine this time, she must find a way to get it!
