Chapter 401 Listen to the truth

Hongluan's words made Liu Weixiang realize how stupid his current behavior is, but in order to hide his nervousness, he retorted: "I checked it when I came here, and there is no one watching you nearby."

"The emperor didn't keep Hong Luan, so Hong Luan is no threat to them. Naturally, there is no need to stare at him, but this is only temporary. As long as the emperor comes again, if Lord Shang Shu is still so reckless, No matter how beautiful that Hongluan is, she can't help the lord."

"Girl Hongluan, you'd better be clear about your identity. Don't forget, if I hadn't rescued you from the Neon Courtyard, you would have been crippled by that old man by now. Also, if it wasn't for me If I tell you the characteristics of Concubine Mei, it is impossible for you to be favored by the emperor."

Hongluan frowned immediately after hearing this, and got up from the dressing table to face Liu Weixiang: "My lord, you are wrong about that."

"wrong?"

"Yes, that's wrong." Hongluan smiled lightly: "Even without the guidance of the adults, Hongluan can make the emperor notice me, but it will be a bit troublesome. Since the adults have given Hongluan a shortcut, Hongluan Cherish it, my lord, you keep reminding Hong Luan not to forget, so Hong Luan will also remind you not to forget."

"What do you want to say?"

"At the beginning, I would promise my lord. It was my lord who promised Hongluan that I would not treat Hongluan like a servant, but my lord's attitude now..."

Hongluan didn't continue, but Liu Weixiang already knew what she meant. Although he was dissatisfied, he still had to rely on this woman. What's more, if she really got favored in the future, her status would be different. It's better to be more polite.

Thinking about it carefully, Liu Weixiang changed his face, and said with a smile: "Look at what Miss Hongluan said, this is how I speak, and I am used to it. I will naturally pay more attention to the girl in the future. Today, I am also anxious. It is inevitable to be negligent, so I would like to ask Miss Hongluan not to blame her. Since Miss Hongluan has explained her words clearly, I am at ease. As Miss Hongluan said, it is better for me to go first in troubled times. "

"Walk slowly, don't send!"

Hongluan's tone was not good, but Liu Weixiang was also flexible, and he didn't argue with her, and left after squinting his eyes.

After Liu Weixiang left, Hongluan took a deep breath and sat down on the stool all of a sudden, as if all the strength in her body had been drained.

She gritted her teeth and stretched out her hand. After spreading her palm, she could clearly see a teardrop-sized red mark on her palm, like a birthmark, but in this position, there was a charming visual impact for no reason.

Hong Luan clenched her palms into fists, and two lines of tears rolled down her face. No one knew what was going on in her heart at this moment.

Palace study.

The emperor had no intention of reviewing the memorials sent by the states, so he simply put down the brush in his hand, sighed, and asked, "De'an, tell me, is this a joke from the heavens?"

"The emperor is the sky, so why would he make fun of himself?"

The emperor chuckled twice: "With your mouth, you can only say what I like to hear. Today I don't want to hear these things. You, just tell me the truth, De'an, what do you think of Hongluan?"

De'an lowered his eyebrows and looked pleasing to the eye, and after careful consideration, he said: "If you go back to the emperor, Miss Hongluan has a miserable life experience, she is a pitiful person."

"Well, you are avoiding the important and taking the light. What I want to hear is the truth. You should know what I mean by asking this question."

De'an bowed respectfully, sighed and said: "Your Majesty, please forgive me for what I said bluntly. Although Miss Hongluan came from a poor background and a small family, she is very knowledgeable and reasonable, and she is not surprised by favor or humiliation, but..." Having said that, De'an didn't dare to continue.

The emperor snorted and said, "You mean to say, but she is a brothel girl after all, not worthy of royal status, is it?"

"Your Majesty is wise."

The emperor is naturally aware of this, but for some reason, since Hongluan left, he has been thinking about her all the time, no matter her life experience or her appearance, he always felt that at first he was because she and Meier were very close. It seemed that she was called to meet him, but now it was only because of her.

"De'an, I'm already at this age, tell me, will I still have feelings for women?"

"The old slave dare not answer the emperor's words. Long live the emperor, what is this age?"

The emperor snorted twice: "Long live, it's all nonsense from you people. When a person reaches a certain point, he will go west one day."

Hearing this, De'an immediately knelt down: "Your Majesty, you can't just say such things casually. If the empress hears this, you must ask the old slave about his crimes."

"What did I say, what does it have to do with you? Also, don't bring the topic to the queen. What I'm asking now is Hong Luan."

"Your majesty, Miss Hongluan has already been sent away, so you don't need to think about it anymore. Besides, Miss Hongluan's identity is not something your majesty should think about."

"De'an, it's rare that you dare to say such things in front of me, but you're right, she really shouldn't be the woman I should think about, I'm sitting in the world, and the whole Yanyan is full of beauties, what do I want? I don’t have any women, I shouldn’t be obsessed with a brothel girl, that’s all, I can’t stand it anymore, you mentioned the queen before, and I just remembered that I haven’t visited the queen today, so you can go and see it with me.”

"Old slave obeys the order."

When the emperor passed by, the empress was having a meal. The empress stepped forward to meet him and said with a smile: "The emperor didn't say that he would come to have a meal, so the concubines started eating first."

"It's okay, I'm just a little hungry too, so I'll use some here for you." As he spoke, he took her hand and walked into the inner hall, only to see two sets of bowls and chopsticks on the dining table.

The queen didn't seem to notice this, the two sat down one after another, the queen put a chopsticks dish into the emperor's bowl, the emperor looked at it, but didn't pick up the bowls and chopsticks: "Does the queen know that I'm coming, so Have you prepared two bowls and chopsticks?"

The queen was stunned for a moment, and then realized the reason why the emperor didn't move his chopsticks, but she didn't reply.

Lian Xin stepped forward to bless Fushen, and said: "If you go back to the emperor, whether the emperor is coming or not, the empress will ask the servants to prepare an extra set of bowls and chopsticks. The empress always said that if the emperor is too busy sometimes and forgets to send someone to notify, Don’t just prepare the bowls and chopsticks when you’re here, you’ll save the emperor from starving.”

The emperor had never made a surprise attack like today. Every time he wanted to eat at the empress's place, he would definitely ask De'an to find someone to inform him. It was unexpected that the empress was so careful.

"In this harem, only the empress thinks so much about me." As he spoke, the emperor picked up the chopsticks and took a bite of the dish the empress had picked up earlier.
