Fengming Tianxia's Concubine Empress

Chapter 79 You Saved Me Twice
"Thank you." The silver-masked man looked at the embarrassment flashing in her eyes, raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and said calmly.

"You're welcome, you saved me twice, and today I have a chance to repay you." Shangguan Wanchun said, holding up the blood basin, and walked out the door.She couldn't let Yan Cui see the blood in the basin, otherwise she would be frightened, and would chatter non-stop in her ears.

Speaking of Yan Cui, she just remembered why the girl didn't wake up after such a big commotion tonight?She stopped suddenly and subconsciously looked towards the outer room.

The silver-masked man seemed to see through what she was thinking, and said in his flat voice: "When I came in just now, your servant girl found out. I was worried that she would attract the guards by shouting, so I touched her sleeping hole."

"Oh." Shangguan Wanchun nodded, then walked out the door.When I wondered why I saw him, he jumped in through the window between the inner and outer rooms.

It's just that when she returned to the room, she couldn't see the shadow of the silver-masked man. He took advantage of Shangguan Wanchun to go out, and left through the window again.

She put down the water basin and came to the outer room, looking at Yan Cui lying on the ground with her sleeping hole, she felt a little funny in her heart, after all, he is a cold, silver-faced man, how could he be sympathetic to a little girl?She shook her head secretly, then lightly touched Yan Cui's body, and she saw Yan Cui wake up leisurely.

Before she raised her head, she shouted into the inner room: "Ah! Miss, run, there are assassins!"

Shangguan Wanchun's heart warmed, and she patted Yan Cui's shoulder lightly, but before she could speak, Yan Cui shivered in fear.

"Don't be afraid, it's me." Shangguan Wanchun said softly.

Yan Cui raised her head, saw that it was Shangguan Wanchun, and said with a choked voice: "Miss, do you think I will never see you again?"

"It's okay, it's over." Shangguan Wanchun said, holding Yan Cui in her arms, comforting her softly.

"En." Yan Cui sobbed and nodded, and then asked: "Miss, are you okay? I saw a black figure rushing in, and before I could speak, that person took a piece of money and threw it in the on me, and then I lost consciousness."

Perhaps it was because there was no light and the light was rather dark, so Yan Cui could not see the appearance of the man in black clearly. If she saw that it was a silver-masked man, she would not be so afraid.Since Yan Cui doesn't know anything, it might as well treat it as a dream. Thinking of this, Shangguan Wanchun helped her up with a smile, and said: "Yan Cui, maybe you are having a nightmare, there is nothing you want to say here. the dark shadows!"

What Shangguan Wanchun said made Yan Cui even more confused. She didn't know what was going on, so she couldn't help muttering in a low voice: "But I clearly saw a dark shadow."

Shangguan Wanchun smiled slightly, helped Yan Cui up and said: "Come on, get up quickly, the ground is cold, don't catch a cold."

"Oh." Yan Cuimu nodded, and she didn't realize until she stood up, and hurriedly asked: "Miss, why are you here?"

"I heard voices coming from the outer room just now, so I came over to have a look, and I saw you lying on the ground." Shangguan Wanchun said after thinking for a while.

"Oh, hehe." Yan Cui scratched her head embarrassingly.

"Okay, it's getting late, go to bed quickly." Shangguan Wanchun said with a smile.

"Well, Miss, go and rest quickly." Yan Cui said with a red face.

Shangguan Wanchun returned to the room, lay on the bed, tossed and turned but couldn't fall asleep, the breath left by the silver-masked man just now remained on the bedding, she couldn't figure out why he would break into the palace late at night.

Medical Harmony Hall.

The silver-masked man returned to the room, and before he had time to change his clothes, a figure suddenly appeared in the room.

The man knelt down and said respectfully, "My lord."

"En." The silver-masked man turned around and responded lightly.

The man stood up and saw the wound on his shoulder when he looked up, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, and asked with concern: "Master, are you injured?"

"Is there any news from the border?" The silver-masked man asked coldly.

"Returning to the Lord, everything is normal at the border. It is Shanghuang Kingdom. The subordinates just got the news that Sima Shan, the daughter of General Sima, is rushing here."

The silver-masked man frowned, and said calmly: "Well, I see, is there any other news?"

"Return to the Lord, not yet."

"Yeah." He waved his hand as he spoke, signaling him to back down.

Not long ago, when the Prime Minister's wife was ill, he received news of the mutiny from the border, and left Longyu Kingdom quickly.

He looked at the cloth strip Shangguan Wanchun had wrapped for him on his shoulder, and couldn't help showing a faint smile on his face.

Another three days passed, and the entire palace was full of festive celebrations, without the sad atmosphere before.For this reason, everyone had a relaxed smile on their faces.

That day, the emperor suddenly summoned her to the Palace of Harmony, and when she was passing by the imperial garden, she suddenly heard the court lady squatting in the yard clearing the weeds, talking in a low voice about some banquet and something about the prince of Shanghuang Kingdom.She had some doubts in her heart, she had to know that the reason why she was conferred the title of princess was to marry Shanghuang Kingdom, so she couldn't help but stop.

Perhaps sensing the shadow above their heads, the two maids raised their heads suspiciously. After seeing Shangguan Wanchun, they hurriedly stood up and saluted respectfully, "Princess Zhaohua!"

"Well, get up." Shangguan Wanchun said indifferently, and then asked: "I heard you talking about a banquet just now, I don't know what you are talking about?"

"Returning to the princess, the slaves are talking about the state banquet in three days' time. That day is the emperor's birthday, and all countries will send envoys to celebrate." One of the maids said nonchalantly.

state banquet?Shangguan Wanchun asked repeatedly in her heart, since she entered the palace, she has stayed in her small courtyard and never came out, if she hadn't been summoned by the emperor today, she would not have gone out.

"En." Shangguan Wanchun nodded lightly, then walked forward.

"Congratulations to Princess Zhaohua." The two maids said respectfully to Shangguan Wanchun's back.

Qianhe Hall.

Emperor Yu Mingqi stared at the portrait on the table with an admiring expression, unable to recover for a long time.I saw the woman in the portrait, her eyes were like autumn water, her smile was like a flower, and her gestures and feet were full of elegance. Such a woman should only exist in the sky and not eat flowers in the world.

"Your Majesty, Princess Zhaohua is here, and she is waiting outside the hall." Director Li came over and whispered.

Yu Mingqi didn't think about it, and before he had time to put away the deep feeling in his eyes, he said in a slightly hoarse voice: "Pass." Then he saw him put away the scroll and put it in a drawer.

"Yes." Director Li replied respectfully, then straightened his waist, and shouted loudly to the outside of the hall: "Let Princess Chaohua enter the hall!"

I saw Shangguan Wanchun dressed in plain white clothes, without any makeup on her face, and with a very simple headgear, walking slowly into the hall.

In a daze, he seemed to see that gentle, pure and innocent woman back then. He remembered that when he saw her for the first time, she was also dressed in white, sitting in the gazebo and playing the piano gently.

"Zhaohua pays respects to my father, and my father is blessed!" Shangguan Wanchun saluted lightly.

The emperor Yu Mingqi was immersed in his own thoughts, and he didn't hear what Shangguan Wanchun said at all. Thanks to the reminder from the eunuch Li, the eunuch beside him, he came back to his senses, and said in a somewhat excited tone: "Pingshen. "

"Thank you, father!" Shangguan Wanchun stood up and looked up at the emperor, but unexpectedly Yu Mingqi was also looking at her affectionately. She was slightly startled, but found that he was not looking at herself, but It was through himself that he remembered the person he loved in his heart, that is, her mother Tang Lanhui.

She sighed in her heart, and then said: "Father, I don't know why Father came here today instead of Chaohua?"

Her tone was still flat.

And he, for some reason, was very restless.

"Xiaoya, come here, come to my side." Yu Mingqi waved to her and said.

"Yes, father." Shangguan Wanchun said and walked forward. Although she was a little puzzled, there was no wave on her face.

She stood beside the emperor, and then heard the emperor say: "Three days later, it will be my 50th birthday, and it will also be the day when envoys from various countries come to my Longyu country every year. Then I will hold a state banquet." The emperor Yu Mingqi paused After a while, he continued: "I will also announce your real identity to the public, so that you can be the princess of Dragon Feather Kingdom!"

Looking at the shining light in his eyes, Shangguan Wanchun was a little shocked, she kept asking herself: Is he so sure that she is her biological daughter?But if she was really not Shangguanhe's daughter, why didn't her mother tell her?What is the unknown secret in this?

Yu Mingqi didn't see any joyful expression on her face, but a dignified one, he couldn't help waking her up when she was distracted: "Xiaoya?"

"Father, Zhaohua is already a princess. Zhaohua thinks that there is no need for Father to do that, and Zhaohua thinks that outsiders may not know how many children Father has. Besides, Father If the emperor does that, it will only make Shanghuang Kingdom feel that our Longyu Kingdom has no sincerity, and even find a leftover folk woman to marry, and more importantly, they will definitely doubt Zhaohua's true identity!"

Shangguan Wanchun's words are precious, and she never thought about the consequences of what she said, whether it would anger the emperor who has supreme power.

Sure enough, Yu Mingqi's expectant cheeks turned livid in an instant, he slammed the table down, stood up and said sharply, "When will it be my daughter's turn for outsiders to comment on the truth?"

Companion is like a tiger, as expected, Shangguan Wanchun hurriedly knelt down and said: "Chaohua has lost his voice, please punish me!" Although she was pleading guilty, she couldn't hear any sense that she felt wrong.

Yu Mingqi sat back on the dragon chair, and after a long while, he slowly said, "Forget it, what you said is not unreasonable, it's because I didn't think carefully, get up." He could hear the exhaustion in Yu Mingqi's tone.

"Yes, Zhao Hua thank you, Father."

"However, you must attend the state banquet. It is not just a banquet, but I will also announce two happy events at the banquet, that is, your marriage to Xi'er, and you will also see it at the banquet. Your future husband-in-law, believe me, he is a good man!"

"Yes." Shangguan Wanchun nodded helplessly.

"You go back first, I still have some memorials that I haven't finished approving." Yu Mingqi waved his hands wearily, took a memorial and read it.

Shangguan Wanchun saw that he didn't want to say anything more, so she saluted and said: "Yes, father, please pay more attention to rest, Zhaohua will leave first."

Hui'er, her temperament really follows you, but I don't know if this is good or bad for her. You know, her future husband is not an ordinary person, he is a dragon among men!After Shangguan Wanchun went out, Yu Mingqi opened the drawer again, took out the portrait, and said to the woman in the portrait in his heart.

Shangguan Wanchun chewed over and over what Yu Mingqi said just now, feeling a little uneasy in his heart.Although she learned about the banquet from the mouth of the court lady, but when she said it from the emperor's mouth, it seemed that the taste changed again, and it seemed like a blind date between men and women.

Shangguan Wanchun shook her head and walked back quickly.
