Chapter 44

The dancer stepped back.

The emperor had no smile at all, and lowered his face slightly: "Xu Jue, you are presumptuous!"

But Xu Jue said: "The emperor said to be presumptuous, so let's be presumptuous, after all, she is the girl I like, so it doesn't matter if you are presumptuous once."

boom!
The emperor slammed the case angrily, and panicked all around.

"You are so brave, dare to contradict me!"

Xu Jue said again: "The emperor is going to give the girl I like to others, so what if I am bolder!"

Blatantly contradict!

The emperor was so angry that his chest felt stuffy like a broken boulder: "You...you..."

Someone said: "Xu Shizi, if you contradict Your Majesty so much, does the Xu family still have the imperial court in their eyes?"

Xu Jue looked away: "I'm talking about marriage, what nonsense are you talking about? What? You want to make use of this to make the emperor remove my military power?"

"You! It's unreasonable!"

"Okay!" Xu Jue got up, glanced past, cupped his hands towards the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, Xu Jue will resign from his post in the Northwest right now, as long as the Emperor grants me a marriage! So what if there is no military power? Xu Jue has long been tired of the Northwest day and night." The military sentry, there are not a hundred but eighty generals who have left me these years, and I will take the girl I like to stay away from the court and live at ease!"

Xu Jue lowered his head: "Xu Jue, please hand over the Northwest Tiger Talisman! I only ask the emperor for a marriage!"

Gu Xiurong was so shocked by his words that he couldn't help scolding: "Ah Jue, what nonsense are you talking about!"

Gu Xiurong was not the only one who was shocked by his words.

The whole court was silent.

Although some people knew that Xu Jue was summoned to Beijing at this time, mostly for the purpose of military power, but this military power was definitely not given up by Xu Jue in this way.

Because the emperor was afraid of the prestige of the Xu family, he took advantage of the marriage of a daughter's family to force Xu Jue to hand over the tiger talisman.

If such rhetoric is spread, the Tian family will become a laughing stock and lose the hearts of the people.

Li Chao's face was sullen, his displeasure was so obvious that the group of people under him did not dare to speak out.

He paced back and forth in the same place, and finally said: "You say you are still playing childish temper at a young age, what do I want the Northwest Tiger Talisman for? Don't mention such things in the future!"

Xu Jue had a half-smile, "Your Majesty, Xu Jue doesn't want a tiger talisman, this tiger talisman..." He looked at the person who just spoke with a hint of meaning: "I think Mr. Liang is very interested, if you give him this tiger talisman. "

Liang Qiu, Minister of the Household Department, froze: "Your Majesty, that's not what I mean..."

"Then what do you mean!" Li Chao said angrily, "I'm too old to be brainless, right? Penalty for half a year!"

Li Chao said again: "Okay, don't mention the tiger talisman again!"

Xu Jue snorted: "Just as the emperor said, don't mention it."

"What did you just say about the jade pendant?"

Xu Jue said: "Your Majesty, it is Qingyu Si Nanpei."

Li Chao nodded clearly, and turned to Gu Mingzhu: "Gu Mingzhu, is there something wrong?"

Gu Mingzhu lowered her head: "Return to the emperor, there is indeed such a thing."

Li Chao asked again: "You also like Xu Jue?"

Gu Mingzhu remained silent.

Xu Jue said: "Your Majesty, a girl has a thin skin. If you ask her in front of so many people, she will have the nerve to answer."

Gu Mingzhu sighed inwardly, and replied seriously: "Back to the emperor, Xu Shizi is like jade on the street, I think all the girls in the Li country who have not left the court should like him."

She kowtowed her head: "Gu Mingzhu, although I don't say that I have deep affection for Xu Shizi, but I still look at it differently. No matter how we two are in the future, that is also a matter of the future, but my little girl is sure that I have no affection for Mr. Yun now. "

"Your Majesty's kindness, my daughter is grateful, but Mr. Yun has already taken a concubine. I, Gu Mingzhu's husband, can only like me in this life, respect me, respect me and love me. If not, I would rather not marry for life."

Gu Xiurong lowered his hands and said: "Your Majesty, although the Gu family and the Yun family are not said to be in the same situation, it is impossible for them to get married. What did Lord Yun do, do I need to say more? The Gu family is not as famous as the Yun family, but it is also If you are not a person who climbs the dragon and attaches the phoenix, it is absolutely impossible for you to wrong my sister, Master Yun wants to be blessed with others, and wants to go to another house!"

Yun Zhao's back was tense, but he couldn't say a word.

Li Chao waved his hand and said, "That's all, let's let this matter go, I'm so noisy."

When he got up, Ning Yuyan immediately went to help him and the empress.

"I'm tired, go back to the palace, Xiu Rong, send me off."

Gu Xiurong stood up: "Yes."

Gu Xiurong was called away by the emperor.

Gu Mingzhu stood up slowly, knelt for too long, her body swayed a little, Yun Zhao reached out to help, but she waved her hand to stop her.

She was so disgusted that she didn't even want to look at him.

A hand was stretched out beside her, and Xu Jue supported her, standing between the two of them, and said, "Are you okay?"

Gu Mingzhu shook her head: "It's nothing."

"Send you back."

Gu Mingzhu got into Xu Jue's carriage, and Jiuyue drove the carriage, knowingly did not speak.

In the silence, Gu Mingzhu said, "Thank you for your rescue today."

She took out the box and handed it over: "I can't accept this jade pendant."

Xu Jue didn't answer. In the dark, his eyes met hers: "Didn't you say that you look at me differently? Don't worry, we will have a bright future."

This man is so hot it's overwhelming!

Gu Mingzhu's ears felt hot, and her complexion looked natural: "We..."

"Forget it, you better stop talking." Xu Jue sighed, "Tell me about Yun Zhao."

Yun Zhao?

Gu Mingzhu wondered, "What happened to Yun Zhao?"

"I have found some things. Yun Zhao should be the son of the emperor, and his mother is the concubine Yun who was dying in the cold palace. The emperor should have become suspicious."

Gu Mingzhu was surprised, but not because of the news: "How did you think of investigating these things?"

Xu Jue said: "Do you still remember what happened in the Lotus Tower a while ago? The person behind the scenes provoked the two kings to fight, which made me suspicious. After investigating, I found something strange. Now it seems that the person behind the scene also knows Yun Could it be that Zhao's identity was handwritten by the Yun family?"

Xu Jue moved too fast!

Gu Mingzhu was secretly startled, if so, what would he do next?Will it disrupt her plans?
"Then what are you going to do?"

Xu Jue pondered for a while, and said: "I'll tell you the truth, Yun Zhao is indeed a good person. He has literary talents, understands strategies, and can be courted. On the other hand, Li Sui has no brains, and Li Xu is too thoughtful. If it is Yun Sitting on the throne..."

"You want Yun Zhao to sit on the throne?"

Xu Jue keenly noticed that Gu Mingzhu's tone was a bit cold, with a smile on his face, he moved closer and said, "Unhappy?"

Gu Mingzhu didn't speak.

"Yun Zhao is very obsessed with you. If you really let him become emperor, I'm afraid something will happen." Xu Jue pondered slightly, and said, "It's just that the emperor wants to give you a marriage now, so it's not easy to get through."

Gu Mingzhu leaned back, remained silent for a moment, and said: "One word from the emperor, it is impossible to take it back. I just realized today that the second and third ranks are nothing more than ants in his eyes, and I can't even be my own master."

Why can't she be her own master?

Just because of the surname Li in this world?He will dictate the fate of others at will?
Xu Jue was silent.

Gu Mingzhu's eyes flickered, she raised her eyebrows, and said, "One step is one step."
