Dreaming back to the Qing Dynasty: Die Luo Chuchen

Chapter 813 The Purpose of the Emperor's Private Visit

The emperor asked this question very strangely, I don't understand why this sentence suddenly popped up?

I frowned slightly, hesitated for a moment, nodded honestly and replied: "I'm afraid."

The emperor's black eyes looked at me for a moment, as if he wanted to read something from my eyes. After watching for a while, he withdrew his eyes and raised his head to look elsewhere, and said in a low voice: "I thought you were not afraid of anything... ..." After talking halfway, he didn't continue, and walked forward.

My heart skipped a beat, what does the emperor mean by this?For some reason, my heart suddenly beat fast, which aggravated my uneasiness.

Ting Lu had already sent people to prepare for the emperor's car. The emperor and I walked into the hall, and found that all the cushions and flower arrangements in the hall had been replaced with new ones, and an incense burner was lit beside it. It was the sandalwood that the emperor liked.

Seeing the emperor coming in, Ting Lu immediately bowed to salute, while a group of retainers knelt down to greet him.

"Let's get down, I'm visiting privately, so there's no need to be grand." The emperor said a few words, walked to the chief seat in front and sat down.Ting Lu said yes, and waved away the frightened servants. I personally made hot tea and brought it over, and put it on the table next to the emperor.

The emperor touched the tea cup but didn't pick it up. He didn't know what he was thinking. After a while, he said: "I heard that the warmed herbal tea tastes good, and I want to try it too." I was startled, and subconsciously looked up. To the emperor, his expression was startled and suspicious.Could it be that the emperor knew about the fourth elder brother's report to the mansion?Or is the fourth elder brother's visit clearly ordered by the emperor?
The emperor looked down at the teacup and was using the tea lid to shake the tea foam on it, but Ting Lu turned her head to look at me, wondering why I reacted so strongly to this sentence.

Before I could think about it, I hurriedly saluted and said that Mulan would be right back, then turned around and left the hall.The emperor's guards were scattered outside the courtyard. I walked through them towards the backyard, thinking wildly as I walked, thinking that the fourth elder brother came for a private visit, but from the emperor's voice, it seemed that I knew it all, maybe The fourth elder brother's visit was arranged intentionally by the emperor?If that's the case, then the emperor must have come this time to ask about the matter of Mobei.

Grabbed tea from the bedroom and hurried back, before entering the door, I heard the voice of the emperor saying: "...Why is that Chen Zeshi eyeing your house and not taking advantage of others?" Probably because he heard my footsteps, the emperor stopped. Stop talking and look at me.Ting Lu lowered her eyelids and did not reply.
