"Your Majesty, why did you come to this place?" Her voice was trembling.
Ji Yannuo glanced at her and asked, "Do you know why there are always so many things going on in the palace?"
"I don't know, but it's worrying. I sent a letter home a few days ago, hoping that my father would send someone to protect me, but he never replied." She told the truth.
Ji Yannuo saw that she was clutching the corner of his clothes tightly from the beginning, and it seemed that she was indeed very scared, but even so, it could not reassure him.
He thought that everything was under his control, even Ye Fuxun, he treated it with caution, but unexpectedly, it still contributed to today's situation.
But it seemed that there was no need to be too impatient at the moment, so he calmed down and asked softly: "Are you scared?"
Gao Ningyue was already excited enough to meet two people who had never met each other before. Now that they were spoken of with such concern, she became even more excited, "Your Majesty, I'm really scared."
She cried and hid in his arms, but Ji Yannuo did not push her away. Sometimes, maybe feelings are like a sharp sword.
But he didn't expect that here, Ye Fuxun had already made preparations and had spies in place, so she was fully aware of everything that happened.
Facing this news, Ye Fuxun was really dumbfounded. He was still recovering from his injuries, immersed in the scene of Ji Yannuo saving him one second, and the next second, reality slapped him in the face.
She murmured: "After all, I still want too much, how can my efforts be rewarded?"
Her eyes gradually became cold, as if she had seen this kind of love thing clearly enough.
Nianyun and Xiluo also heard some things, and came to the front room to report to her, "Empress, I heard that the emperor gave Gao Niangniang a new yard, Gao Niangniang is very happy."
"I understand." Ye Fuxun replied softly.
The room immediately fell into silence, and the silent silence seemed to make the atmosphere heavier.
What broke the silence was Zeng Yan's eager footsteps. As soon as he came in, he searched for Ye Fuxun and asked: "Empress, are you okay? It's all my fault. I should have stayed in the palace."
"There's no need to make such a fuss. It's just a minor injury. It's just the person behind it who needs you to check." Ye Fuxun's expression gradually became serious.
There are never coincidences in what happens in the palace, so the final result is someone else's deliberate design, but this person must have hidden it very deeply, and even appeared next to her.
Thinking of this, Ye Fuxun picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea. She looked at Zeng Yan and continued to ask: "You should have this ability, right?"
Zeng Yan was stunned for a moment, feeling at a loss for a moment.
She had a clear view of these subtle movements. Ye Fuxun noticed Zeng Yan's fists that had been clenched together from the beginning. She withdrew her gaze and advised: "Don't worry too much."
Zeng Yan looked at her silently, as if he didn't know what to say.
Ye Fuxun had actually felt it for a long time. Zeng Yan didn't have ordinary feelings for him, he just stayed by his side for the reason of repaying his kindness.
It just so happened that she lacked such a person, and he happened to be here too. They both knew it, but they continued to cooperate as master and servant.
But now, Ye Fuxun felt that she was wrong. Maybe she shouldn't be like this. Zeng Yan's goal was too big and she couldn't do anything about it. It might be better to part ways, which might be the best way out.
Thinking of this, she said bluntly: "If you can handle this matter well, you won't have to come here anymore. You will have to repay all my kindness."
Zeng Yan opened his mouth, not knowing what to say. Ever since he came in, he seemed to have been passive, listening to everything Ye Fuxun arranged for him.
Seeing that he was still thinking about something, Ye Fuxun stopped talking and started to chase people away, "It's time for you to go."
"Take care, Queen." Zeng Yan had no intention of staying any longer, so he immediately left with fists in his hands.
As soon as he left, Nianyun looked at Ye Fuluxun and asked: "Empress, why don't you let General Zeng stay to protect you? There are so many dangers in the palace, and accidents will always happen..."
"Okay, no need to say more, you won't understand. Sometimes it's better to rely on others than to rely on yourself. What's more, I have medical skills at my side, and others can't do any harm." Ye Fuxun's lips curled up, as if in his heart
Got an idea.
After the emperor was injured, he did not go to court for several days. There were a lot of things in the previous court, and no one dared to rush them. After all, this time he encountered an assassin in danger.
However, this matter seems to be a good thing for Prime Minister Gao. He takes the opportunity to have more contact with the affairs of the DPRK, and he will not care so much for the time being.
Later, his daughter wrote back saying that everything was going well in the palace and that he seemed to have begun to see his bright future.
"Prime Minister, I heard that the emperor is planning to return to the court in a few days." The spy came to report.
Prime Minister Gao was in joy one second, but now his face turned dark. His goal was about to be achieved. Ji Yannuo's return at this time would make people feel dissatisfied.
He thought about it, thinking about whether to attack Ji Yannuo, but he suppressed this idea whenever it appeared. He murmured to himself: "The time is not yet mature."
Even though everything was going smoothly now, it was a little too smooth. He had never thought about this, but every time he held the memorial in his hand, he couldn't control himself.
Thinking of this, he opened his mouth and whispered: "Go and find out about those people and see what they think?"
After hearing what he said, the subordinate left in a hurry.
Prime Minister Gao had no intention of paying attention to anything else now. He was pacing in front of the hall, seemingly still struggling.
At this time, a voice came from outside, "Prime Minister Gao, is there anything bothering you?"
Prime Minister Gao never thought that someone would suddenly appear in front of him like this. After all, there were many guards in the courtyard. It seemed that this person was indeed very capable.
"I wonder why General Zeng came here this time?" He had somewhat calmed down.
Zeng Yan sat directly opposite him, without explaining his purpose, he just picked up the teapot and poured water little by little.
Prime Minister Gao looked at him for a while, then laughed out loud and said: "I didn't expect that the general who is running around is also cautious, but I have underestimated you."
Hearing this, Zeng Yan raised his eyes and said, "Prime Minister Gao, you are here well. I saved your life back then, and now it's time to repay your kindness."
"When I saw you that day, I was very surprised. I didn't expect that the young man who once saved me is now a second-rank general in the palace. Things are unpredictable." Prime Minister Gao said with emotion.
