"Then let's go. If you make His Majesty wait in a hurry, it will be the little girl's fault." After finishing speaking, Shangguanhui turned her head, fixed her eyes on Gao Nanny, and confessed, "If the eldest prince comes back and asks about my Where are you going, please tell me the truth, so that the eldest prince will not worry about it."

Nanny Gao watched them leave with deep thought in her eyes.The words of the concubine before she left seemed to contain some hint...

Oh, she got it!The concubine was implying that she would find the eldest prince as soon as possible and tell her about it.Only the eldest prince can solve the current predicament!

Shangguanhui followed the servants all the way into the magnificent palace, but found that the emperor of the Northern Kingdom met her not in the main hall, but in a side hall connected to the main hall.This is mostly the place where he would come to rest for a while when he was tired of dealing with the affairs of state, almost like going to the sleeping hall.

Shangguan Hui sneered in her heart, with a cold gleam in her eyes.It seems that this old man really has a "color heart" for himself!

She clenched a dagger hidden in her sleeve with her left hand. If it was not a last resort, she would never make such a desperate, life-and-death move.What's more, 'assassinating' the emperor is a serious crime, and it is very likely that her family in the Southern Dynasty will be affected.But she also absolutely cannot let this old man tarnish her innocence...

"Shangguanhui sees the emperor!"

He lowered his head and knelt down in front of the middle-aged man in the bright yellow dragon robe.

The emperor of the Northern Kingdom gave him a wink, and the servants immediately led the eunuchs and maids out with understanding.

"Get up quickly!"

The emperor of the Northern Kingdom stepped forward and stretched out his hand to lift her up, but Shangguan Hui cleverly dodged her sideways.

Unexpectedly, the outstretched hand was in vain. Although the prince of the Northern Kingdom was angry, he couldn't get angry, so he had to take his hand back in embarrassment.

"Your name is Shangguan Hui?"

"Return to Your Majesty, that's right!" Shangguan Hui answered respectfully on the surface, but sneered inwardly.I already knew her name, so why bother to ask?

Seeing her bowing her head and lowering her eyebrows, with a serious and respectful look, the Northern Emperor laughed twice, with a mellow voice, but with the majesty of an emperor.

"You don't have to be so formal. I summoned you here just to ask you a few questions."

"Please, Your Majesty!"

Shangguan Hui still bowed her head respectfully.It was polite for the emperor of the Northern Kingdom to call her 'no need to be formal', but if she was really 'informal', it would be an 'offensive to the holy face', which was a disrespectful act.

"how old are you!"

Somewhat surprised the Northern Emperor asked her age as soon as he opened his mouth. After being slightly startled, she replied softly, "My daughter is 16 years old this year."

"16 years old..." the emperor of the Northern Kingdom muttered silently, as if he was calculating something in his heart.After a moment of contemplation, he asked again, "I know your father is the prime minister of the Southern Dynasty, but what about your mother? What's her name?"

Hearing the Northern Emperor's inquiry, Shangguan Hui was dazed for a moment.

Why did the emperor of the Northern Kingdom want to know more deeply about his parents?Could it be that he suspects that the reason why he looks very similar to the woman surnamed Bai in his impression is because she is the 'daughter' of that woman?

This is ridiculous!

Shangguan Hui's eyes flickered slightly. On the one hand, she felt that the 'conjecture' of the Northern Emperor was absurd, but on the other hand, she also doubted her own life experience for no reason.

It is true that she is the daughter of Shangguan Wenyong, the prime minister of the Southern Dynasty, but she knows very little about her mother.He vaguely knew that his mother's name seemed to be 'Gu Wan'er'.But even with the only 'name' she knew, she always held a 'wait and see' attitude.
