Chapter 172: words of the emperor
Chapter 172 The Emperor's Words
Ruan Youqing, who had already made up his mind to bring Yu Xie into the palace, found Yu Xie and explained the situation to him, but he actually... refused!
When Ruan Youqing heard Yu Xie said that he wanted to stay in the Ruan Mansion, he finally couldn't help but said in surprise:
"You...Are you sure you don't want to enter the palace? The emperor has always valued talents. You must know that according to your ability, entering the palace this time may reward you heavily. Hospital."
Yu Xie waved his hands freely, and said calmly, "Thank you, Miss Ruan, for your kindness, but Yu really doesn't like being with you like a tiger. Now that Yu has found Ziya, I just want to... I can live a stable life with her in the future. Yu believes that Miss Ruan will not treat Yu badly, but... Yu does not believe in the royal family."
Ruan Youqing frowned with a complicated expression: "But don't you worry, following me...will you bury your talent?"
"Miss Ruan, to tell you the truth, if it wasn't for you, I would never have thought of leaving Wuyun in my life. Moreover, Yu said something conceitedly, with my ability, no matter where I go, there will be Yu I don’t even say modestly, as long as I think about it, rights and wealth are within my grasp. However, I prefer a life of ease, and the vortex of power is not a good place for Yu. It doesn’t matter if I am alone. Jie Aogu lives and dies. But now that I have concerns, I don’t want Ziya to be in crisis with me.”
Seeing Yu Xie's expression becoming more serious, Ruan Youqing felt a little uncomfortable.
It turns out that what Yu Xie wants is not endless rights. It's a leisurely day where the two of them work together and tomorrow's world ends.
But she... was the one who turned Yu Xie into Li Yi. Following Li Yi's pursuit of power, she fell into endless darkness.
"Okay, since you don't want to, then don't go." Ruan Youqing held back her guilt, and promised him solemnly.
Yu Xie didn't know what she was thinking in her heart. Seeing that Miss Ruan really respected him, her affection for her also deepened.
Early in the morning of the second day, Ruan Youqing entered the palace.
Fortunately, I met Xiao Deyin at the gate of the palace, and the two of them were together, and they didn't feel so much uncomfortable.
After all, every time Ruan Youqing entered the palace, she had mixed feelings in her heart. Especially when no one is talking to her, she always feels as if she is still in her previous life.
Every time she entered the palace, she would report to Li Yi what she had done.
This feeling is both ironic and sad.
This time they entered the palace and they were directly led to the imperial study room. After the **** reported and got permission, the two walked in together.
At this time, the emperor is not the only one in the imperial study. Gu Changan, Li Yi and Li Qian were also among them.
After Ruan Youqing and Xiao Deyin walked in, everyone heard the sound and looked over.
After the two saluted, the emperor greeted the two with a smile: "Come, come, you two girls, get closer to me."
After Ruan Youqing and Xiao Deyin approached, the emperor continued to speak: "I thought, going to Chengming Hall is too restrictive, and there are no outsiders today, so I simply summon you in the study to save you from feeling uncomfortable. Juniors together, we can chat about other things.”
Ruan Youqing listened, smiled softly and said: "The emperor is kind, it is our blessing that Ningguo has a wise king like you, and it is even more admirable for us juniors to have a considerate and generous elder like you."
"The emperor is so considerate of those of us who are juniors, we are really flattered." Xiao Deyin had a closer relationship with the emperor because he followed his grandfather into the palace since he was a child, so his reply seemed a little more intimate.
After chatting with her a few more times, the emperor turned his head to Ruan Youqing with a smile and said, "By the way, Youqing, you have made a great contribution this time."
Ruan Youqing's heart sank, and he had roughly guessed what the emperor was going to say.
Sure enough, after she said a few words and didn't dare to take credit, the emperor squinted his eyes and looked at Ruan Youqing: "Youqing, you don't have to be humble in front of me. If it wasn't for the person you brought, how could the people of Jingbian Get rid of the disaster brought by the plague so quickly. Eh? By the way, why didn’t you bring them here?”
Ruan Youqing lowered her eyes and said: "The one who rescued the people from the fire and water...is a distant cousin of Youqing's family. He learned medical skills from others since he was a child. He has some skills in practicing medicine. However, he was born in the countryside and dare not face the emperor. Therefore, before Youqing came, he specially asked Youqing to plead guilty to the emperor on his behalf. Please don’t blame him for not being ignorant of etiquette.”
The words have been said, if the emperor still insists on seeing him, it will seem a little unreasonable. So after Ruan Youqing finished speaking, the emperor just frowned slightly and then stretched out to continue talking with them about other things.
Seeing what happened to Yu Xie was briefly mentioned, Ruan Youqing secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
She was afraid that the emperor would take a fancy to Yu Xie's medical skills and wanted to keep him in the palace.
Fortunately, the emperor was not so overbearing.
A group of people briefly told the emperor about the situation in Jingbian, but neither Ruan Youqing nor Li Yi mentioned the matter of the place where King Nanjing died.
Because Li Yi didn't mention it, it was inconvenient for them to take the initiative to mention it.
And whether the emperor can find out by himself is his business.
But now it seems that the emperor didn't take the initiative to ask, it should be... I really don't know.
After asking Gu Changan some questions, the emperor suddenly said to Ruan Youqing again: "By the way, Youqing, I also heard... how many days did you guard the Cangmang River for your brother?"
Ruan Youqing couldn't help but want to rub the center of her brows. The emperor would throw her a question later, so she didn't dare to be sloppy at all.
"That time, it was Youqing who put all his eggs in one basket... At that time, Youqing didn't think much about it. My brother fell into their conspiracy that day, and Cangmang Jiang had to have a backbone. So...so Youqing pretended to be there in a flash of brain...Youqing is like this Reckless, please punish the emperor."
At this time, Ruan Youqing's voice was so soft and soft that people couldn't help feeling sorry for her.
The emperor didn't intend to punish Ruan Youqing at all. When he saw Ruan Youqing like this, he immediately replied, "Don't be afraid, little girl, I don't blame you. Although you stayed there without orders, in the end it was for us The people of Ningguo. It's just that... I have wronged you..."
Gu Changan had already walked to Ruan Youqing's side at this time, and stretched out his arms to embrace her, as if he was afraid that she would faint from anxiety.
Seeing Gu Changan's actions, the emperor couldn't help curling his lips: "Furthermore, if I punish you, why don't my chief assistant give me a kick?"
"I dare not." Gu Changan replied unhurriedly, but there was no trace of panic in his tone.
"Okay, okay, I don't want to joke with you, it's getting late, I still have business to do today, so I won't let you have dinner in the palace." The emperor sat back on the chair, his eyebrows intertwined Seems to be tired.
When Ruan Youqing and the others saw this, they naturally bowed down and left immediately.
However, when Gu Changan was about to leave with him, the emperor opened his mouth to keep him.
Ruan Youqing looked back at him before continuing to walk out.
The moment she turned around, she saw the haze in Li Yi's eyes.
Heh...He is becoming more and more impatient...
After drooping his eyes to suppress the coldness, Ruan Youqing left with Xiao Deyin.
The emperor, who had closed his eyes and gently kneaded the center of his brows, slowly lowered his hands and opened his eyes after hearing that the imperial study room had quieted down.
It's just that the moment he looked up, he didn't have the burnout just now.
A pair of hooked eyes are full of sharpness.
"Does the emperor have anything to say to this humble minister?"
"That little girl from the Ruan family knows kung fu?"
