After the rebirth, the empress took the tragic script of Meiqiang

Chapter 41 Entering the Palace

Qin Baozhu looked at Ye Qinghuai, her eyes seemed to be frozen, and the air seemed to have stopped flowing.

Then, she looked away, forced a smile, and said, "Why did your parents give you such a name? The emperor's name is taboo."

Ye Qinghuai knew that she was looking for a step for her to take back her previous words.

But she never thought about looking back.

Ye Qinghuai took out a palm-sized seal from his arms. It was made of crystal white marble and carved with a spirited glass dragon, which looked down on Kyushu. There were several horizontal and vertical grooves on the side of the seal.

There are bits and pieces of red clay used for sealing remaining in the groove, as bright as blood.

It is the jade seal of Da Jing.

Ye Qinghuai solemnly placed the jade seal gently on the edge of the stove, then looked at Qin Baozhu, who was full of shock, and said: "Miss Qin, let me say it again, I am the seventh emperor of Dajing, Ye Qinghuai."

Qin Baozhu looked at her and then at the jade seal. The expression on her face changed from fright to fear, and then to worry. She looked back at Ye Qinghuai and shook her head slightly in disbelief.

"I give you two choices now." Ye Qinghuai stared at her sternly and said, "One, come into the palace with me, be my personal maid, abide by the oath you once made in front of me, and be loyal to me.

My identity is kept secret."

After saying that, she took out the vial containing poison from her cuff and placed it next to the jade seal.

"Second, drink this." She raised her head and glanced at Qin Baozhu, as if she couldn't bear to look into her big, smart eyes, and turned away, "I promise, you won't suffer any pain."

Qin Baozhu looked at the jade seals and poisons placed side by side on the stove, and suddenly laughed: "It seems that I have no choice."

She smiled at Ye Qinghuai and said, "Can a civilian girl ask your Majesty a question?"

"you say."

"Why didn't Your Majesty just kill the civilian girl?"

Ye Qinghuai was stunned for a moment. She had thought of many questions. Maybe Qin Baozhu would ask her why she came to Wenxin Hall incognito, why she pretended to be a candidate who went to Beijing to take the exam, or even why she was a woman.

But he didn't expect Qin Baozhu to ask such a question so calmly.

So she asked: "Then why does Miss Qin trust the emperor so much?"

"Because there is nothing we can do." Qin Baozhu blurted out. After learning that Ye Qinghuai was the emperor, she did not show the awe and timidity of ordinary people. She did not even kneel down and even spoke frankly.

"Your Majesty doesn't know that it's not easy for ordinary people like us to make a living. We can only suffer when our land is occupied, we have no place to complain when we have grievances, and we can only rely on our lives to survive when there is a disaster. Mr. Guan

If God doesn't make the decision for us, God doesn't care whether we live or die. We can only believe in His Majesty and believe that Your Majesty will take pity on his people. Otherwise, life will be too hopeless. If you can't trust Your Majesty, who can we trust?" said

After she finished, she looked at Ye Qinghuai, smiled, and said, "The daughter of the people did not mistrust Your Majesty, right?"

That's it. Ye Qinghuai said in his heart. What Qin Baozhu said is probably what all the students are thinking. When dark clouds cover the sun, people would rather believe that the sun is just blocked behind the clouds, and one day it will be thicker.

The head peeked out from behind thick dark clouds.

Ye Qinghuai said to Qin Baozhu: "I won't kill you because I don't want to betray your trust in me. So I am willing to make a bet that you will not betray my trust."

Qin Baozhu suppressed the smile on her face, knelt on the ground, performed a not-so-standard kneeling salute, bowed her head on the ground, and said: "The daughter of the people will definitely live up to your majesty's trust."

Ye Qinghuai squatted down and held her arms to raise her head to look at her.

"Baozhu, the secret you hold in your hand can not only destroy me, but also the entire world. I have handed over my life, my life, and all the inheritance left by my ancestors into your hands. Do you understand?"

Ye Qinghuai said in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty..." Qin Baozhu looked moved.

"Okay, get up. Leave a message asking Qin Yang not to worry about you. Come with me."

——

It's cold in spring, especially at night.

Li Baoquan stood under the archway of Xiuzhengfang for half an hour without waiting for Ye Qinghuai. Seeing that it was getting late, he couldn't help but become anxious and paced back and forth under the archway.

There was no one in Xiuzhengfang today. He looked at the passers-by one by one, wondering if he had missed the emperor, right?

It wasn't until it got dark and shops began to set up lanterns on the roadside that Li Baoquan saw two figures walking towards him from a distance.

The man in charge was tall, thin, and imposing. Li Baoquan could tell at a glance that he was his master.

But why is there a woman following the emperor?

Li Baoquan went up to Ye Qinghuai in confusion, saluted Ye Qinghuai, and said: "Master."

Ye Qinghuai nodded and introduced Qin Baozhu to him: "This is Miss Chen Lan. I like her, so take her back to the palace and be a personal palace maid for me."

Chen Lan is a temporary pseudonym Qin Baozhu gave herself.

Li Baoquan was obviously quite surprised. He looked at Qin Baozhu and didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Chen Lan has met Manager Li." Qin Baozhu heard Ye Qinghuai mention Li Baoquan on the way and saluted him.

Li Baoquan also came to his senses and said: "Young lady, you're welcome. I'm just a slave. You can just call me Eunuch Li in the palace."

"Yes. Chen Lan will keep it in mind."

Li Baoquan smiled kindly at her and thought, she seems to be a sensible girl.

However, since Ye Qinghuai ascended the throne, Li Baoquan has been waiting by his side. This is the first time that Li Baoquan has seen a woman other than Aunt Fanghua beside Ye Qinghuai.

It made him curious.

Many people inside and outside the palace asked him what kind of woman the new emperor liked. He smiled and did not answer.

Because he doesn't know either.

Sometimes he was also curious about what kind of woman the little emperor liked. Even when the news spread in the palace, he also thought that the little emperor might really like an older woman like Aunt Fanghua.

But now looking at this girl Chen Lan, Li Baoquan couldn't see any similarity between her and Aunt Fanghua.

Aunt Fanghua has a gentle temperament and is respectful. She doesn't speak much in front of others. She is loyal to her master from the bottom of her heart and does not allow others to say anything wrong. In the past, when Empress Dowager Jingmin was still Concubine He Shu, Aunt Fanghua was a well-known loyal servant in the harem.

. Later Empress Dowager Jingmin passed away, and she followed Ye Qinghuai. I heard that one time when Ye Qinghuai was attending class in Wenxuan Hall, Aunt Fanghua was accompanying her, and she met the imperial master Lu Yanchen giving Ye Qinghuai a stern lecture.

Regardless of her status, Aunt Hua argued with Lu Yanchen. Although she defended her master, she contradicted the imperial master who was the third prince. Afterwards, she was punished by kneeling all night and was ordered by Ye Qinghuai not to attend classes in the future.

.

But it is not known whether the girl in front of her is loyal or not, but judging from her appearance, she is not a docile and silent person.

Li Baoquan couldn't help but wonder.
