After hearing the Prime Minister's words, Hua Xuanji lowered her head and fell into deep thought.
Even if it is not out of selfishness, in the eyes of others, Ye Hua must be more suitable for the throne than Bai Yan.
However, there is no airtight wall in this world. Since you can know it, others will probably know one day. In that case, even if Ye Hua takes the throne, there will not be many people who completely surrender.
The huge criticism will be a pressure that he cannot stop.
What should I do?
Hua Xuanji pursed her lips tightly, dragged her chin, and her brows were tightly locked, thinking to set off the Prime Minister's words.
"Xuan Ji, you're back. Think of a solution for your father. Dad has been hiding from illness for more than half a year. The emperor has had some prejudice against your father now. If this continues, it's not a solution. It's better to just put it in the early stages.
This matter has been resolved."
Even if the prime minister is so scheming, he will be more than 60 years old this year. He still struggles with certain things, otherwise he would not have been so comprehensive to Hua Xuanji.
Taking a deep breath, Hua Xuanji seemed to have made great determination to pat the table with her hands, staring straight into the prime minister's eyes for a moment, and said solemnly with an extremely firm look:
"Dad, can we take a gamble?"
"Gambling? Do you know that if you make a mistake in the chess, your dad's head is likely to disappear from your head? Even if your dad is old, you will live a life. What about you? The second aunt and the eldest aunt's life, the whole thing is that
The life of the Prime Minister's Mansion may be because of this step..."
"Dad, my daughter thinks whether this matter will be successful in the end depends on the emperor's intention." Hua Xuanji stood up slowly, clenched one hand into a fist and smashed the palm of the other hand, looking like he was thinking.
"What does the emperor mean?"
"Yes." Hua Xuanji nodded heavily: "If the emperor stands on our side, I think, even if others know that if the emperor is the backstage for us, what are we afraid of?"
"It's still not possible." The prime minister frowned with some hesitation, "What if the emperor doesn't stand on our side?"
"Family scandals should not be made public, let alone the royal scandal. If the emperor knew that we knew that Ye Sheng Yehua was not a royal bloodline but an illegitimate son of the queen and an outsider, what would the emperor react? It must be a good idea to suppress this matter.
ah."
"Xuan Ji," the prime minister called out worriedly and said slowly: "Aren't you afraid that the emperor will kill people to silence him? He is the emperor. Although your father and I are the prime minister, for the emperor, you can just find a reason
Those who are put to death.”
"Absolutely not." Hua Xuanji nodded confidently, turned around and slowly said to the prime minister: "Dad, don't worry, let's eat something first, and then go to the palace to see the emperor."
Looking at Hua Xuanji's extremely firm expression, the prime minister couldn't argue. Since he had told Hua Xuanji all about it, he should believe her.
Despite the little uneasiness in his heart, the prime minister nodded and ordered to prepare the meal. After taking a bite in a hurry, the two embarked on the road to the palace.
When Eunuch Li saw Hua Xuanji, he was shocked first, then reacted and quickly informed the emperor. After obtaining permission, Hua Xuanji and the Prime Minister walked in one after another.
"The emperor is lucky." Hua Xuanji lowered her head and said in a low voice as the prime minister said.
"Get up." The emperor's voice was a little hoarse, with some vicissitudes of time.
Hua Xuanji then slowly stood up and looked at the emperor intentionally or unintentionally with his light.
Sure enough, the emperor was already different from the tough side back then. Even though he covered his hair, it was not difficult to see the silver threads mixed inside. Several wrinkles appeared on his tough face, and his originally smart eyes looked a little confused at this time.
But despite this, the majesty and pressure that belonged to the royal family remained the same as before.
"The Prime Minister has been sick for more than half a year, why did he suddenly come back today?" The emperor couldn't hide his teasing in his tone. He took the tea handed over by the eunuch on the side, lifted the lid, and Gujing Wubo sipped it.
"Return to the emperor." The prime minister took a deep breath, turned around and pointed at Hua Xuanji and said, "In fact, Weichen's health has gradually improved recently. Today, Weichen's little daughter, Hua Xuanji, was accidentally found, so Weichen
He was overjoyed and his body immediately recovered. Just now, Weichen brought his little girl to meet the saint."
The hand holding the teacup trembled slightly, and the emperor frowned incredibly, raised his head suddenly, and forgot the gaze that looked at Hua Xuanji.
When Eunuch Li came to inform him just now, he just said that the prime minister's daughter, and the emperor did not think about Hua Xuanji. Moreover, when Hua Xuanji came in, he kept his head hanging down, and the emperor did not pay attention.
Only then did I realize that I could not hide my surprise in my eyes.
However, after all, he was the emperor above ten thousand people. He returned to normal in a moment. He handed the teacup in his hand to the eunuch who was serving him, and said in a hypocritical confusion: "Hey, isn't this the prime minister's little girl? I remember, she wasn't dead.
Is it in the war in the Desert Kingdom? How could it be?"
After knowing that she was dead, the emperor breathed a sigh of relief. After all, if she knew about Ye Sheng and Ye Hua and spread it, her face would be very little left.
But unexpectedly, she came back alive.
"Return to the emperor." Hua Xuanji clasped her fists slightly and said respectfully: "The little girl asked the emperor for her blessings. She was very lucky and had a great life. She fell off the cliff but did not die. She was rescued by a doctor living in seclusion in the mountains, but
Because of physical reasons, I came back at this time, which made the emperor's father worry. It was the little girl's fault."
"It's good to come back, there are no so many mistakes." The emperor responded politely and ordered the servant beside him: "Come here, give the prime minister and the second prince a seat in the inner room."
The servant behind him quickly moved two chairs, and after Hua Xuanji and the Prime Minister thanked him, they stepped down.
Although the emperor was faint and approachable smile on his face, his cold eyes snored all his thoughts, which also added a hint of confidence to Hua Xuanji.
Taking a deep breath, the emperor slowly said to Hua Xuanji: "For four years, it has been a pity for you. Before he passed away, the queen mentioned you to me, saying that he had once blamed you for the wrong thing, and said
It was because she was too sensitive at that time. In fact, you didn’t have any hostility to her, so did I. It was really my fault that I just dealt with you without asking the whole story.”
Sure enough, the old fox Anna couldn't help but reveal his tail. Hua Xuanji pressed the little smugness at the corner of her mouth and replied with respect:
"The emperor and the queen don't have to blame themselves. At that time, it was indeed the little girl who didn't explain her purpose clearly. The queen misunderstood it, which was also considered the little girl's fault."
Seeing Hua Xuanji responding to him like this, the emperor felt that the game was delaying, which was too boring, so he said to the prime minister: "Prime Minister Hua has just recovered from a serious illness, and he still comes to see me. I have already received this heart. Today's weather is a bit
It is not normal, the prime minister should go back early to avoid getting cold again. In the court, there are no other prime ministers. I have a few words to talk to the second prince’s daughter, the prime minister’s daughter, but I don’t know the prime minister…”
"This..." The prime minister heard the obvious intention of expelling him in the emperor's words. He looked at Hua Xuanji with some concern, but met her confident eyes, and hugged her fists and exchanged greetings.
Backed down.
At the same time, the emperor waved his hand and drove out the other palace maids and eunuchs. After a while, the only ones in the room were the emperor and Hua Xuanji.
Hua Xuanji pretended to be expressionless and played with the teacup in her hand. After everyone stepped back, she said in confusion: "I don't know, what does the emperor want to talk to her?"
The emperor turned his eyes slightly. In fact, he wanted to make it clear. But if the queen hadn't said anything to Hua Xuanji, she would probably lead to Hua Xuanji's suspicion if she said it bluntly. The emperor pursed his lips and asked slowly for a while.
road:
"I actually want to know what you saw after entering the queen's tent that day?"
Haha, a sentence made Hua Xuanji secretly admire the emperor's far-reaching plan in his heart.
He did not directly ask himself what the queen said to him back then, but instead asked indirectly. It seemed that he was still half-knowing and somewhat guarded against him.
However, Hua Xuanji did not forget what she was doing today. It was really wasteful of time when she was circling with the emperor. Moreover, people like the emperor have always been able to observe their words and expressions. If they say something more, they would let him catch the braid,
Is it equivalent to shooting yourself in the foot? It would be better to solve the problem as soon as possible.
Hua Xuanji is still sure of her martial arts. At least she understands that it should be no problem to deal with an emperor.
So, no longer dodge the bush, but just say it directly:
"Your Majesty, it was not actually the little girl who assassinated the queen back then, but the queen told the little girl a major secret and wanted to eradicate the little girl."
"So..." The emperor couldn't hide his surprise in his tone: "That's right, do you already know?"
"Yes, the little girl already knows that the second prince and the prince are not actually the emperor's biological children, and the little girl is here today for this."
Taking a deep breath, Hua Xuanji immediately said, "The little girl is now a favor, so please help me. Moreover, only the emperor can help me."
"Oh?" The emperor smiled coldly, suddenly felt that Hua Xuanji was a little naive, and instantly returned to his previous coldness. Gu Jing Wubo said: "Are you threatening me?"
"How dare the little girl? In fact, I just want to share my worries for the emperor. Now, your husband, are you hesitating for whom you want to make the crown prince? The little girl is here to make a decision for the emperor."
He swallowed with some hesitation. Hua Xuanji tried his best to hide the uneasiness in his heart and said word by word: "The little girl here begs the emperor to make Yehua the prince!"
