Wu Jie's body trembled slightly. What she had been fearing since entering the palace unexpectedly became a reality at this time.

If it is really investigated, Dongyue's move can be regarded as a crime of deceiving the emperor.

Seeing the fear on her face, Yuan Jing immediately comforted her: "Don't worry, I won't bring up this matter again in the future. Whether it's an anti-justice woman or a pro-daughter, it doesn't make any difference. You are you, unique."

He didn't want to mention this matter at first, but Wu Jie insisted on making a fuss, so he had no choice but to use this trump card. As long as you don't mention anything about returning to Dongyue, this matter will naturally be written off.

Wu Jie watched helplessly as he continued to speak with a smile.

"I know you miss your family, and I'm going to issue an order to send envoys to East Vietnam and invite Prince De to give lectures."

Wu Jie opened her eyes wide, "What?"

"I heard that Prince De is very knowledgeable in the "Book of Changes". Next year, I plan to recruit talents in the Taixue and invite famous teachers. Talented people from all over the world can come here as much as possible, and they can also bring their family members with them."

"Your Majesty, don't make any claims." Wu Jie glared at him angrily.

"Okay, please or not, it's up to you when the time comes." Yuan Jing comforted me gently, just like soothing a cat in the palm of her hand.

Wu Jie was full of aggrieved, unwilling... In the end, she could only lower her head: "The emperor said that he would not force me."

"Of course I won't force you." Yuan Jing solemnly promised.

"I just hope that you don't leave in such a hurry. You can give me a chance, for a while." His eyes are full of tenderness, which makes people intoxicated.

"I think I look pretty good, and my martial arts are not bad. Maybe not worse than the person you miss."

"If you walk too fast, you may miss the better flowers around you."

The people he sent to Dongyue not only verified Wu Jie's real identity, but also investigated her interpersonal relationships over the past ten years. It was found that among the daily contacts, except for the prince's cousin, there were very few men, and the famous sons of Dongyue, the young generals, or the guards around them had not had too close contact. Then the so-called lovers may just be the budding girlish feelings, which will not develop into such deep feelings in the future.

An ignorant first love, such a relationship is beautiful, but Yuan Jing is confident that it can replace it.

"If in the future, you still feel bored in this palace, I don't want to restrict you for the rest of your life." Yuan Jing whispered.

This is his sincere promise. He doesn't want to create another tragedy for his biological mother in Changqiu Pavilion.

"Let's take three years as the time limit."

Without Wu Jie asking, Yuan Jing gave her an answer that made her feel at ease.

"If after three years, you still want to leave, I can let you go back."

Wu Jie looked up at him, but Yuan Jing was indifferent.

After feeding the cat leisurely, and kneading it for a while, said goodbye and left.

Wu Jie stood under the corridor, all kinds of feelings came to her heart for a while, and she didn't know how to describe it.

She could only tug on Little White Claw's cat ears angrily.

"You traitors, obviously I have been feeding you for a longer time."

"One or two are traitors."

The next day, Wu Jie received an unexpected order.

Looking at Wan Chongji who came to proclaim the decree, Wu Jie was in a daze, as if she couldn't accept this result.

"Imperial concubine, please accept the order." Wan Chongji reminded cautiously.

It was only then that Wu Jie came to her senses, and this heavy decree came out of his hand.

That was the will to enshrine her as a noble concubine.

In her previous life, she was a noble concubine when she entered the palace, and later died as a noble concubine. In this life, she was a noble concubine when she first entered the palace, but after going around, she became a noble concubine. Ha ha……

There was no joy in Wu Jie's heart, only full of sarcasm.

She knew that it was impossible for Yuan Jing to let herself go back in a short time.

Last night Wu Jie looked back and thought about it, and realized that Yuan Jing already knew her true identity before traveling with her during the Ching Ming Festival, so she deliberately said the word princess. This discovery made her sleepless all night.

Sly guy, really want to nail him!

Maybe it was her resentment that touched Wan Chongji, he did not leave immediately, but followed her instead.

Wu Jie was surprised that Wan Chongji had never been a troublesome person.

Thinking of the care she received in her previous life when she lived in seclusion in the deep palace, she stopped amicably.

"Is there anything else to do, Mr. Wan?"

"My slave has the guts to ask, is your mother missing her homeland?" Wan Chongji asked with a bow.

Wu Jie's face darkened, Yuan Jing wouldn't even tell these things to the cronies who served her personally, would she?

Maybe the fear in Wu Jie's eyes was too obvious, Wan Chongji smiled wryly: "Your Majesty, don't get me wrong, the Emperor had drawn up a decree before, and wanted to invite people from your mother's family to come over, but then he gave up. So this slave boldly speculates that Your Majesty misses her family. .”

"Boss Wan is really considerate." Wu Jie was noncommittal.

"Don't dare to be praised by the empress." Wan Chongji cupped his hands and sighed, "Speaking of which, when I first entered the palace, I served in Changqiu Pavilion."

Wu Jie raised her eyes slightly, was he the one who served Concubine Jing before?

"When the emperor was young, he actually liked to stand in this garden, especially under the big willow tree by the small river in the backyard." Wan Chongji paused, then smiled, "Your Majesty should already know that the emperor is in the Changqiu Pavilion." Born from within."

This is the posture of making a long speech! Who wants to hear your stories about the past. Wu Jie looked disgusted.

However, Wan Chongji had this ability, turned a blind eye to the impatience on Wu Jie's face, and just continued talking on his own.

"When Concubine Jing was here, she treated the emperor very badly. Since he was still in his infancy, she has wanted to attack him several times..." Wan Chongji also seemed to feel that it was inappropriate to say it, "The late emperor had no choice but to order The palace people around you will take care of you."

Wu Jie's mind moved slightly. She had guessed from Yuan Jing's few words before that Da Zhou's family was not kind to him, but what Wan Chongji meant...was that Da Zhou's once wanted to kill him ?

Even if it is his own flesh and blood, after all, it is a child born by force.

Wan Chongji said in a low voice: "When the emperor was two years old, concubine Jing threw the emperor into the well in the backyard by taking advantage of the negligence of the nanny and the palace servants. Fortunately, the heavens blessed me. At that time, the servant was just a backyard sweeper." You little eunuch, jump down and fish the emperor up."

Wan Chongji's tone was bitter. He was twelve or thirteen years old at the time, and happened to be assigned to Changqiu Pavilion as a sweeper.

Hearing a short cry of a child, he rushed over curiously, only to see a slim figure disappearing at the end of the corridor. Surprised, he went to the well, and saw the young child struggling to the point of death inside.

He jumped down in a hurry and clung to the well wall. It was late autumn. He was afraid that the child would catch cold, so he wrapped the child in a dry coat and lifted him up. Most of his body was soaked in the well water, and he was freezing. trembling.

After holding it for more than two hours, finally the palace servants who searched for the prince came here and rescued him.

"After this incident, the late emperor was furious, and shot those palace servants who were not doing their best, and then made up his mind to take the emperor away and send him to another empress to take care of him."

"But as soon as the child was carried away, Concubine Jing seemed to collapse and cried bitterly."

"The late emperor was afraid that she would lose his temper, so he had no choice but to hug the emperor back. In desperation, he could only order the palace servants to watch her more closely."

"Under such intense stalking, Concubine Jing has no chance to attack. She becomes more and more irritable, and often beats and scolds the emperor to vent her anger."

"The empress was in a bad mood and poor health in the last few years, and the palace servants became more cautious. She was tired of the emperor, and no one would dare to stop her from ordinary beatings and scolding, as long as her life was not endangered."

"Maybe it's because he has been beaten and scolded for too long. When the emperor was young, he didn't have the innocence and happiness of ordinary children. He was quiet all day long, didn't like to talk to others, and didn't like to have fun. He just stayed quietly all day long." on."

"Since the incident with the water well, the servant has been dispatched to serve the emperor. I have seen him become more and more silent, and sometimes he doesn't say a word for a whole day. I only give a few simple instructions to the servant occasionally."

Wan Chongji's eyes were pained, and he still has lingering fears when he thinks about those days more than ten years ago.

"Later, when the emperor turned five years old, he entered the school according to the usual practice. After going to school for a month, the late emperor wanted to ask the emperor about his homework on a whim, and finally found out that there was something wrong with the emperor. He reacted slowly, even with others. There is a serious lack of communication.”

"The first emperor was shocked and heartbroken. This time, no matter what troubles Concubine Jing made, she insisted on taking the emperor away."

"As a result, within a month after the emperor left, Concubine Jing fell into the pool and died of a sudden illness."

"The first emperor was already ill, but he became even more ill after hearing the news."

"Later, the emperor was sent to Concubine Hong's palace by the first emperor, and he still didn't communicate with others. The first emperor also chose several sharp-spoken and cheerful companions for him to read, but he still couldn't let him go."

"The first emperor was very worried at that time. Concubine Hong Guifei was weak and sick, and she had a spoiled personality. She didn't like to take care of children, and the other princes of the first emperor were too old to play with the emperor."

"The first emperor thought about it, and finally decided to send the emperor to the Hong family."

"The young masters there are all about the same age as the emperor, I just hope he can have more contact with children of the same age,"

"When I arrived at Hong's house, the servants also served by my side at that time. I watched the emperor slowly improve. Later, I often went out of the house and made some friends outside. Gradually, I started to like communicating with people."

Wu Jie listened silently, from impatience at the beginning to turmoil in her heart later.

No wonder Yuan Jing said that he never thought of avenging his biological mother. This sentence sounds a bit rebellious, but the kindness of the Hong family to him may indeed be higher than that of the Zhou family. Even the revenge of killing his mother can't offset this gratitude.

That's why Yuan Jing was able to tolerate Hong's arbitrary power and Hong Chongyue's evil deeds. Even when he tried to kill the king and rebel, he didn't kill them all.

"The emperor has been on the throne for several years, and there are very few people or things that can interest him. Since he ascended the throne, he has only been busy with state affairs. After the empress entered the palace, she talked with the emperor several times, which made the emperor happy. Only the servants can see that the emperor values ​​you, the empress, not to mention now... the emperor cares about the empress in every possible way in his heart."

After finishing speaking, Wan Chongji bowed and saluted.

"To say these things today is an arrogance of a slave. Please forgive me. I just ask your mother to take care of her. It's not easy for the emperor since he was a child."

Wan Chongji retreated respectfully and left quickly.

Wu Jie remained silent, she knew that Yuan Jing loved her, probably in her previous life too.

Otherwise, after mistakenly thinking that she ordered Zifen to assassinate him, he still refused to kill him and let her live in Changqiu Pavilion.

Is it just that she likes Yuan Jing?

I was tempted in my previous life. But after experiencing such a cruel reality, this relationship has long since been smoothed out, even if he lives a new life. She is determined to give up hatred and give up a lot of tangled things.

But it doesn't mean that the feelings that once sprouted can come back again. There are already too many things that cannot be let go between this relationship.
