Chapter 286 A crying scene
The crying scene was almost over, Jiang Zuiyao stood up and knelt down in front of the emperor, saying: "Your Majesty, I have something to ask for, and I hope your Majesty will grant it."
This sudden kneeling overwhelmed the emperor and he quickly asked: "Mu'er, what are you doing? Get up quickly."
Jiang Zuiyao shook her head in disapproval and said, "If Your Majesty doesn't promise me, I really don't know what to do."
The emperor said anxiously: "What you want, I will naturally grant you."
"I want to beg Your Majesty to allow my brother to stay with me in the palace for a while." Jiang Zuiyao's request made the emperor hesitate a little. He originally promised to grant it, but now hesitantly said: "This..."
Jiang Zuiyao immediately became even more sad and said: "Your Majesty just said that everything I want will be granted to me. Now I just ask my brother to accompany me. Your Majesty is not willing to do this small thing?"
The emperor, who was already frowning, frowned even deeper now and sighed dullly.
Jiang Zuiyao pretended to be embarrassed and bit her lip, and said: "Since Your Majesty refuses, I don't dare to ask for it. Your Majesty, please allow me to leave the palace."
When he heard the word "go out of the palace", the emperor was stunned: "You want to leave me?"
In grief, Jiang Zuiyao raised her hand to wipe the tears on her face, and whispered: "I can't leave my lonely brother alone. He is worried about my only sister, who chased me thousands of miles away, and now returns it to Prince Gong.
If he just looks at me and leaves, I'll really feel uneasy."
The emperor did not rush to reply, but looked up at Shao Ziqing. Years of experience in reading people told him that this so-called brother of Jiang Zuiyao did not seem like a country man.
Seeing that the emperor did not agree, Jiang Zuiyao stood up and tied up her loose hair. However, the gauze on her head delayed her hair arrangement, so she took off the gauze without hesitation.
The emperor stood up eagerly and walked over, asking, "Mu'er, what are you doing?"
While combing her hair, Jiang Zuiyao said, "If Mu'er doesn't cause trouble to Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please let me and my brother leave the palace and go back."
The emperor hurriedly asked: "What about me?"
Jiang Zuiyao replied with sadness in her eyes: "Your Majesty, just pretend that you have never seen me."
"Mu'er! How can you say such words casually?" The emperor was a little anxious, but Jiang Zuiyao turned around and said while combing her hair: "A woman as insignificant as me is not worthy of serving your majesty."
After finishing her words, Jiang Zuiyao bit her lip sadly. The look of her deeply in love but giving up due to helplessness would make anyone look at her with pity.
The emperor sighed dullly, pulled Jiang Zuiyao into his arms, who had her back turned to him, and said lovingly: "Okay, don't be sad, I didn't say I wouldn't promise you, I finally found a person who is the same as Mu'er
How can you let go of a similar woman so easily?"
Jiang Zuiyao immediately said with surprise in her eyes: "So, Your Majesty has promised me?"
The emperor nodded: "Yes, but your brother can't stay for a long time, otherwise he will make people gossip."
Jiang Zuiyao nodded happily and said, "Thank you for your support, Your Majesty. Don't worry, I only need my brother to stay here for two or three months."
Afterwards, Jiang Zuiyao turned to Shao Ziqing and said, "Brother, why don't you thank the emperor for your kindness?"
Shao Ziqing stood aside and looked at his woman. She was so angry after being hugged and hugged by another man for so long. She even asked him to kneel down to thank her. He was unwilling to do so and secretly tensed up.
Gritting his teeth, he knelt down and thanked you, saying, "I thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace."
The emperor nodded lightly: "Since he is Mu'er's brother, there is no need to be polite, just be normal."
Shao Ziqing stood up, and the emperor said again: "Now that Mu'er is injured, and she was wronged yesterday, she can feel more at ease with you here."
"Thank you, Your Majesty. My sister is so lucky to be cared for by Your Majesty." Although these words sounded nice, there was inevitably some indifference in Shao Ziqing's voice.
Afterwards, the emperor ignored Shao Ziqing, looked at the wound on Jiang Zuiyao's forehead, and said with a burst of heartache under the red blood: "You girl, you are also stubborn when you are angry. I just bandaged it this morning, so I took it off right away."
Immediately, the emperor ordered: "Come here, send the imperial doctor to bandage Mu Bin's wound."
The eunuch responded and went out.
After the eunuch had bandaged Jiang Zuiyao, she continued to rest on the bed. Shao Ziqing was taken away by the eunuch, who said they were going to arrange a place to live.
Then Jiang Zuiyao heard that the emperor wanted to approve the memorial. She thought that she could send this difficult man away, but she still pretended to be reluctant and said: "Is your Majesty planning to leave?"
The emperor smiled warmly and said, "I have to deal with state affairs. I will come to accompany you after you have dinner, okay?"
Jiang Zuiyao thought to herself that it would be best if you never come, but she smiled and said, "Okay, then I will wait for His Majesty to come back."
The emperor gently stroked Jiang Zuiyao's forehead, and when he turned to leave, the smile on Jiang Zuiyao's face instantly disappeared, adding a look of disgust.
After the emperor left, Jiang Zuiyao was free. Her forehead still hurt a little. She was lying on the bed to rest. Susu came in with hot tea and said: "Girl, the palace servants have cooked ginseng tea. Do you want to drink some?"
?”
Jiang Zuiyao shook her head uninterested and said, "Put it on the table, I don't want to drink it."
Su Su looked at the palace attendants outside the door, walked to the couch and whispered: "His Royal Highness Prince Gong said that your Majesty will not allow him to visit you again."
Jiang Zuiyao couldn't help but frowned: "Your Majesty is still worried about Prince Gong."
Su Su nodded, and Jiang Zuiyao thought for a while and said, "It's okay if you don't see her. If you see her too much, it will arouse suspicion. Now I feel that what I did yesterday was a bit too much."
Su Su asked in confusion: "What does the girl mean by this?"
Jiang Zuiyao said: "I can't let His Majesty think I'm too shrewd, otherwise His Majesty will inevitably become suspicious over time. It's best to be someone who is stupid and stupid, so as to dispel His Majesty's concerns."
"But I see that Your Majesty is not suspicious of you now?"
"That's the emperor. Can you read his mind?"
Su Su shook her head, and Jiang Zuiyao couldn't help but sneer: "Your Majesty treats me well now, but he is just immersed in the enthusiasm of missing Mu'er. When the enthusiasm fades, it will be hard to say."
Su Su thought about it carefully and nodded in agreement: "What the girl said is not unreasonable. There is still a long time before the Longevity Festival. It is always better to prepare for a rainy day. However, I don't think there is anything wrong with what the girl did yesterday.
.”
Jiang Zuiyao asked: "What do you think?"
Su Su replied: "Yesterday, the girl held the imperial concubine hostage, which only proves that the girl is a brave person. If you dare to do such a thing, others will not think that you are shrewd."
