Zhu Youjian also knew what he wanted to say, and took out a mask: "Of course I can't walk in so arrogantly on the road. I want to speak clearly to you, so I don't wear a mask."
"If you are really sincere, you should explain the matter to us openly and honestly instead of just covering it up here." Yuan Qingfang's cold voice intervened.
Emperor Chongzhen squinted his eyes and looked at her: "Are you Yuan Chonghuan's niece?"
Yuan Qingfang raised her head slightly and looked at him: "So what? My uncle is innocent, and the Yuan family is innocent. You must also know about this, right?"
Emperor Chongzhen sat lazily on a chair, poured himself a cup of cold tea, and took a sip without caring: "Of course I know, you don't have to be so hostile. The one who had to handle this matter in the first place was not
not me."
"But after all, it was you who issued the order and sentenced you." Yuan Qingfang looked at him coldly: "How can you erase the lives of one hundred and thirty people in the Yuan family with just one word?"
Emperor Chongzhen drank another cup of tea: "Oh? What do you want? Clear the name of the Yuan family? He has already done it for me."
Yuan Qingfang snorted coldly: "He didn't do it for you. He gave an explanation to all the loyal soldiers in the world. What he did had nothing to do with you."
Chongzhen nodded: "If you must think so, then so be it. In the past few years, I have traveled to many places and met many people. I have also thought clearly that there were indeed many things I did wrong at the time."
"Let's be honest, who told you we live here, and why do you have to come to him now?" Yuan Qingfang's face was full of doubt.
Lin Chong almost knelt down for her. The person standing in front of them now was the emperor of the dynasty, the emperor who was inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people. Yuan Qingfang actually accused others so unceremoniously and said it so directly.
If they return to Nanjing and the emperor pursues this matter, wouldn't they both be in bad luck? He glanced at Emperor Chongzhen secretly, but fortunately the emperor didn't seem angry because of Yuan Qingfang's words.
"Qingfang doesn't mean anything against you, but we have encountered too many things along the way, and she is a little nervous now." Lin Chong tried to smooth things over.
Emperor Chongzhen waved his hand: "It doesn't matter, you don't need to explain. I will not anger you because of this matter. In the final analysis, this matter is what I owe the Yuan family, and I will try my best to compensate them."
Lin Chong was moved when he heard this. If the emperor meant this, it was obvious that he wanted to resolve the matter peacefully. He didn't really want to be the emperor. Even if he had this idea before, it would be enough after just a few years.
Addicted.
"Then I'll thank you in advance." Lin Chong laughed.
"You deserve this all, there is no need to thank me. As for how I knew you were here? And why I chose to walk with you here, I can't tell you this."
"The boss here is the one who told me your whereabouts. I've been looking for you. Someone told me that's why I came here. I don't necessarily have to find you here." Chongzhen explained in one breath, with a tone of voice from beginning to end.
Nothing changes.
"The boss here? That Miss Liu? Is she...yours?" Lin Chong was surprised.
"Isn't it possible?" Emperor Chongzhen smiled, and the smile on his masked face looked a bit cold.
"Haha, yes, yes, of course..." What kind of divine unfolding is this? Why did Boss Liu have an affair with Emperor Chongzhen again? Could it be that the power behind the Mengyuanju that has remained standing for so many years is actually the imperial court?
Then Miss Liu used the power given by the emperor to turn Mengyuanju into an iron plate, and raised a little lover by the way? Now she wants to avenge her lover by the way?
Did she know the real Emperor Chongzhen, so why did she behave so strangely after seeing herself? Then based on her own reaction, she came to the conclusion that she was not the real emperor? Or was she, like Wang Chengen, aware early on that the emperor had already
Got dropped?
He hesitated for a moment and decided to talk about something that had nothing to do with him: "Since it was Miss Liu who told you that we are here, then you must also know the other people behind her very well?"
"I'm not familiar with them. She is just one of my eyes and ears. As long as they don't do anything wrong, I never interfere in their own affairs." Emperor Chongzhen said calmly.
It seems that the emperor did not know about the matter of seeking revenge, and even if he knew, he would not care.
"Since we all want to get to Nanjing earlier, why don't we leave early tomorrow morning? Do you think it's okay?" Lin Chong suggested.
Emperor Chongzhen thought for a while: "There is no need to be in such a hurry. You can rest here for a day before talking."
After all, the emperor came all the way here, and he must have been very hard on the road. In order to catch him here, he might not have had a good rest for several days and nights. It was a bit cruel for him to ask to leave early tomorrow morning.
"Okay, let's rest here for a day before setting off." Lin Chong agreed.
Yuan Qingfang still looked a little worried, but in front of Emperor Chongzhen, she finally remembered the identity gap between herself and the other party. Even if she had something to say, she didn't say anything directly, but just stared at the emperor with an unkind expression.
In the evening, after Emperor Chongzhen left, Lin Chong was completely sleepy. It was almost dawn, so he simply stopped sleeping and pulled Yuan Qingfang to talk.
"What do you think?" Lin Chong wanted to see what Yuan Qingfang thought. Although she had already said that it was not for the sake of the queen, Lin Chong still wanted to give her a grand wedding. The ceremony for the title of queen was obviously grand enough.
"I don't think this matter will end so easily. Since he already knows that our destination is Nanjing and can wait until we meet in Nanjing, why must he stop us on the road?" Yuan Qingfang still had the word suspicion written all over his face.
"Don't think so much. Since we are all going to Nanjing, just pretend that there is an extra person traveling with us on the way. Let's try our best to be careful and there should be no problem." Lin Chong comforted Yuan Qingfang.
Although Yuan Qingfang couldn't explain her dangerous intuition clearly, she didn't want Lin Chong to worry, so she nodded and said she would be careful.
In fact, Lin Chong was not happy that his wonderful honeymoon was ruined like this. It was originally a date between the two of them and now it must be very inconvenient to have an extra person traveling with them.
However, the identity of this person traveling with him was unusual, and he did not disturb the consciousness of others at all, making it difficult for Lin Chong to directly say any words of rejection.
Now I just hope that everything can be settled quickly after arriving in Nanjing smoothly, so that they can leave these troubled places quickly.
