(Original chapter 89, 90 only shows the first half o(╥﹏╥)o, so let’s put 89, we are working hard to catch up)
Emperor Xuande's words, which were neither serious nor serious, made Mrs. Wu's expression change rapidly in the blink of an eye.
Mrs. Wu, who felt unwilling to do so, wanted to drink tea to calm herself down and calm down for a while.
But when he raised his hand, it was empty.
Yes, where is she treating guests normally now?
Not to mention tea and other things, she didn't even have a confidant around her at this time! Thinking of the reason why he didn't call his confidant before - he was in a hurry to hide Du Shi's abnormal behavior.
And how he was found by Emperor Xuande's people and "caught" just after he accomplished something.
Mrs. Wu suddenly felt that she had been hit hard again, and her eyes became blurry. I had to close my eyes and take a deep breath before I could speak normally:
"What did your Majesty say? Although I am a housewife, I am not an unreasonable country woman who does not know etiquette."
The words that were meant to ease the atmosphere ended up being aggressive.
But in fact, under such unfavorable circumstances, how could Mrs. Wu have the courage and mood to continue fighting against Emperor Xuande?
It's just that I still can't get through it in terms of face.
Such thoughts naturally did not escape Emperor Xuande's keen eyes.
Therefore, not only did he not feel dissatisfied with this, he even responded with a kind smile:
"Old Fengjun is joking."
However, understanding that the other party has no intention of fighting and is desperate to save face does not mean that he is so lenient that he would give up halfway even if he started.
"However, there is also an old saying that "the reason is unclear". Since the old lady doesn't even know what is happening outside, she needs to listen to my words even more."
Emperor Xuande recounted the assassination of the prime minister outside the princess's house in one or two sentences, and then returned to the topic.
"The old lady must also know that Qinghe is frail and prone to overthinking. Now that such a tragedy happens outside the house, she will definitely be worried for a while."
"That's why, as Qinghe's brother, I just returned from a visit to the princess's mansion. I also heard about the arrangements made by the old lady to care for her."
The moment she heard this, cold sweat broke out on Mrs. Wu's back and forehead.
Emperor Xuande, what does this mean?
Could it be that the eldest princess Qinghe just sued this old woman for being cunning with the emperor who doted on their mother and daughter? So, Emperor Xuande came to support them uninvited? !
Mrs. Wu tried her best to keep her face from turning pale, and swallowed secretly to soothe her suddenly dry and sore throat. Then he coughed lightly and answered:
"I don't dare to take the word "sympathy" in His Majesty's words. However, Qinghe is the one who married into the Duke's Mansion. Although he lives in the Princess Mansion all year round, my son is stationed at the border. The two of them are guarding a huge mansion without a man... It’s worrying no matter what.”
Mrs. Wu's statement and explanation again were not so much a reaffirmation that she wanted Qinghe to change his residence in the Duke's Mansion. Rather, it was to clarify to Emperor Xuande that he had no bad intentions, or that he had bullied Qinghe as his goal.
Seeing Emperor Xuande's two words, Danyang forced Mrs. Wu to soften her attitude again and again, and couldn't help but laugh and sigh in her heart.
Sure enough, one force can defeat ten.
Not to mention, her uncle, the emperor, has absolute power.
And from her point of view, although Mrs. Wu thought she was retreating again and again, she delayed it tactfully and tried to pursue the idea of "moving" their mother and daughter, but she still didn't waver at all. This alone was enough to anger Emperor Xuande.
Sure enough, after Mrs. Wu seemed to soften and give in again, Emperor Xuande was not satisfied.
As soon as the words were spoken, Emperor Xuande suppressed his smile and said:
"Of course. One family doesn't speak the same language as the other. So, old Fengjun, don't blame me for being abrupt."
After not getting the commitment or even the attitude he expected, he decided not to waste any more effort.
"I have already told Qinghe not to disturb the Duke's mansion too much, and just stay at home to recuperate and recuperate. By then, I will send people to properly protect the safety of their mother and daughter. No need to worry."
His attitude was very affable from beginning to end. But anyone can hear the will that cannot be disobeyed in his words.
Mrs. Wu opened her mouth several times, but in the end she didn't dare to speak again.
In the end, when Emperor Xuande stood up, she reluctantly stood up, saluted, and responded:
"I will obey His Majesty's will."
Danyang Jin also stood up at the same time. When he heard this while moving, he couldn't help but smile secretly.
Oh, even if she was insinuating that her uncle used power to suppress others, did she want to use wisdom and worldly justice to restrain Emperor Xuande?
It has to be said that in front of an arbitrary emperor, especially when the other party has made up his mind to do something, do you want to shake the other party's decision with this kind of consciousness?
This idea is so innocent and cute.
Emperor Xuande, who was walking in front, just listened as if he didn't hear anything and didn't pay any attention to it at all.
Anyway, on weekdays, no matter who is doing errands according to his instructions, the same thing is said.
Right now, he really couldn't afford to continue to struggle here.
Danyang seemed to be taking his original seat and walking behind the two of them according to the rules, that is, right behind Mrs. Wu, one step away.
But after walking only a few steps, Mrs. Wu was still unwilling to do so and left it alone. She inevitably lost her mind and her pace was naturally more than a little slower than that of Emperor Xuande at the beginning.
At this time, Danyang saw the opportunity and quickly stepped forward, walking side by side with Mrs. Wu, while whispering:
"I advise the old lady not to think too much about other things. Although my uncle seems to be generous, after making some decisions, he hates it when people point fingers because of their own selfish desires."
Mrs. Wu hated Danyang and didn't even look at her.
But as soon as the words came out, he was immediately stared at by the other party, or a glare would be more appropriate.
"You! Don't be too crazy, girl, this matter hasn't been decided yet..."
Danyang smiled, and then Mrs. Wu's low warning and venting words continued:
"Of course we haven't decided yet. So, has Madam thought about the options I've proposed to you?"
Seeing Mrs. Wu's expression getting gloomier after being stunned for a moment, she lightly shrugged.
"Time is running out now. If you are unable or unwilling to make a choice, then let me choose an option."
After finishing speaking, the petite figure beside Mrs. Wu immediately rushed forward and caught up with Emperor Xuande who was leading the way.
"Uncle, please wait for me! There is something important in Danyang. I need to tell you first!"
Although Emperor Xuande had long been accustomed to Danyang's turbulent style.
But he heard that when she was in the Duke's mansion, this girl was much better behaved than elsewhere.
And because Danyang had been taught rituals and asked to become a monk to deal with her, she suffered a big loss in front of the old prince of the Duke's mansion.
It was hard for Emperor Xuande to imagine how a girl who had always been so smart could act stupid now.
Just because, before he came, he saw that Mrs. Wu was using Danyang as a raft to force Qinghe to agree to move into the Duke's Mansion for "temporary refuge" for a period of time.
And just because of his strength and sudden appearance, he completely forgot to point the artillery fire at Danyang. He was afraid that he would do something again because of Danyang's arrogant behavior.
In contrast, why did the little girl who was so well-behaved and sensible before suddenly call him?
