Starting from the Western Han Dynasty

Chapter 191 Gillian's Secret

"I had just arrived, but Princess Linqiong kept talking in front of you, so it was not good for me to come in at that time."

Under the black cloak, a beautiful face is covered. The flickering candlelight adds to the hazy beauty of the visitor. No wonder the ancients often said that looking at a beauty under the lamp, the more you look at it, the more enchanted you become.

"Forget it, this little girl has never seen anything big in the world, so I can't blame her. What do you think about what I told you earlier?"

Gillian snorted lightly, not sure whether it was dissatisfaction with Linqiong, or dissatisfaction with the person in front of her who came too late, and suspected that he seemed to be very careless about something they agreed on.

"No matter how high a woman is, she can only sit on the position of a queen. There is only one Empress Lu in this world. Since I don't dare to hope for this, why should I entrust all my life's happiness to her?" A false promise to go up?”

The cloak was gently taken off and put aside casually. The person underneath turned out to be Liu Ling!

Liu Ling picked up the flower tea on one side and took a sip slowly. His movements were graceful and his posture was indescribably elegant.

Gillian snorted softly: "You just need to know it in your mind. After spring, he will leave for Huainan Kingdom. What should he do? You don't need me to remind you anymore, right?"

"That's..." Liu Ling stretched lazily, Gillian frowned slightly: "Don't be arrogant in front of me, go be arrogant in front of him."

"Giggle..."

"Are you a hen that lays eggs?" Gillian's mouth seemed to have turned into a poisonous tongue.

Liu Ling also snorted with dissatisfaction: "I know very well what I promised you, but are you sure you promise what I promise? Also, he will definitely listen to you?"

Gillian stretched her arms and looked at Liu Ling with a smile: "I am a big man who governs the country with filial piety. Do you think my son will do things against his mother's wishes?"

A flash of disappointment flashed in Liu Ling's eyes. Gillian saw it and said slowly: "In my opinion, there are two types of filial piety."

"One kind is foolish filial piety, that is, as a son of man, he does not distinguish what is right and what is wrong, so he carries it out unconditionally; the other kind is virtuous filial piety, which means he can distinguish clearly what is right. What is wrong? In this world, people are not saints, who can have no faults? Therefore, what you are doing now is not unfilial, but to save your father and prevent him from falling into the endless abyss of eternal destruction."

Liu Ling was silent for a moment, shook his head and said, "Perhaps everyone has to find a reasonable reason to appease their own heart, but in fact, my father has never treated me as a normal daughter. In his hands, it is more like a tool that can speak and should not have its own feelings."

"There is nothing wrong with people living for themselves. Didn't I also listen to your suggestion and let people secretly declare to the emperor and appoint the queen of the East and West palaces?" Gillian felt that at this time, it would be more effective if she said she was more selfish. Win Liu Ling's favor.

Liu Ling's face really showed a comfortable expression: "You are right, you can't live for other people's dreams all your life. Okay, I have to leave the city overnight..."

"Don't you want a glass of wedding wine?" Gillian called Liu Ling: "Everything you see with your eyes today, I will also prepare for you in the future."

Liu Ling hesitated for a moment and looked out the window: "That's all, it's the same sooner or later. I also wish you can return to the throne of the queen as soon as possible!"

Watching Liu Ling leave, Gillian's face showed a smile of success.

"How did I look just now, can Liu Ling win his trust?" Gillian's voice fell, and a person suddenly walked out from behind the silent screen - the Han Emperor Liu Che!
Who can imagine when Liu Che appeared behind this screen?
No one knew when Liu Che came from Dachangqiu. After seeing Liu Che, a flash of astonishment flashed in his eyes, and then he hurriedly knelt down.

Liu Che waved his hand: "Get up and put on some hot tea."

"According to the order!" Dachangqiu looked calm on the face, but in fact his heart was beating like a drum. Not to mention the matter of the Queen of the East and West Palaces, the people closest to him, Gillian, didn't know about it. It turned out that Gillian herself had someone do it herself, even the emperor...

At this moment, Da Changqiu suddenly understood that this was not done by Gillian herself. This was clearly His Majesty the Emperor...

The idea is in the heart, no one will know it, it is also the most secretive and safest, but Da Changqiu just thought of this, and he was so scared that he cut off his own thoughts!
"Is Liu Ling so easy to deceive?" Liu Che took a sip of scented tea and frowned.

"Why lie? What I told her is true."

Liu Che looked at Gillian with disgust: "The queen's position was yours before, and now you want to get it back, but it's not that simple."

"I'm talking about letting Huan'er marry her!" A-Jiao looked at Liu Che angrily, "I don't have the mind to be a queen and pretend every day."

"Even if you beg me now, I will do it without hesitation. Why do you always treat me like this?"

Liu Che was very unhappy, but thinking that A-Jiao now had her own flesh and blood, it was not easy to get angry with her. He wanted to reach out to pull A-Jiao, but A-Jiao opened her hand.

"You really want me to beg you? When the palace incident happened and I was about to be executed, do you think I begged you at that time?"

Liu Che was really angry when he saw Gillian... Women are really strange animals, unreasonable creatures...

Liu Che scolded in his heart, but a smile appeared on his face: "When did I say that you beg me...it's not right, I was just joking, Gillian, don't you understand my feelings for you!"

"I only know that a pig that deceives people can deceive girls when it is still very young!" A Jiao really let out a sigh of relief, but Liu Che felt that he was suffocating in his heart.

"Then you just think I'm that deceitful pig demon..." Liu Che suddenly thought of something: "Your Dahan Daily published a story about a man who took a monkey and a pig to the so-called Western Heaven to learn scriptures. Could it be that Are you the one who deliberately asked your fellow novelist to make up such a story to frame me?"

"Yes! Hurry up and ask your court captain Zhang Tang to hang me, a witch!"

"A witch and a pig demon are the perfect match in the world. I can't spare you tonight!"

The two were playful for a while, but very measured. All the unhappiness and annoyance in their hearts dissipated in the playful laughter.

After a while, Liu Che leaned in Gillian's arms and spoke softly. The moonlight was just right...

The breeze at night carried the scent of Gillian that fascinated Liu Che when he was a boy in his dreams.
