Chapter 143 Will it be poisonous?
I smiled at him and said, "Okay, I'll go with you."
Yun Hance took my hand and walked to the outside of Chaoyang Palace. The chief eunuch beside the emperor was guarding outside the door. When he saw Yun Hance, he immediately saluted Yun Hance with a smile on his face: "Your Majesty, the emperor is waiting for you."
Yun Hance nodded and thanked him.
He held my hand tightly and refused to let go. The eunuch stared at our hands blankly and stopped us at the door of the palace: "Your Highness, this... The Emperor only wants to see you. This girl will wait in the side hall. I will serve her tea and take good care of her."
The eunuch looked at Yun Hance in embarrassment. He knew that Yun Hance was someone he could not afford to offend, even though he was someone close to the emperor.
"If the emperor doesn't see you, I will have no choice but to go back."
Yun Hance didn't hesitate at all.
"My Lord, please don't embarrass me."
Yun Hance had a smile on his face, but there was no smile in his eyes: "I hate to make things difficult for others the most." He said he wanted him to take me away.
"Your Highness, Your Highness, please wait a moment. I will have someone go in to report."
Yun Hance stopped at this time. He and I stood under the corridor. The sunlight slowly shone in. The branches in front of the courtyard sprouted new buds, and a few magpies chirped on the branches.
Spring is here.
I held Yun Hance's hand tightly. Although I was still a little afraid of the emperor's anger in the hall, but standing next to Yun Hance, I seemed to have nothing to be afraid of.
"I have asked someone to buy wedding supplies. Let's get married as soon as possible. Yuanyuan."
I didn't seem to have any special feeling, as if in my heart, I had already been his wife.
"it is good."
Yun Hance continued, "Tomorrow I will send someone to pick up my parents, my eldest uncle, and my uncle."
I didn't expect that I would have to go pick up my parents and brother right now. It's fine for my parents to come live in the capital, but my brother has military duties after all, so he can't just leave. "My brother is guarding the border, can he come back whenever he wants?"
Yun Hance looked at me proudly: "If I want him to come back, he can come back." He asked him to get closer to me, and his hot breath sprayed on my ears: "Your husband has already gained power in the court. I have the final say in court affairs."
I looked at him, his high-spirited appearance, and my heart was warm: "Okay, my husband is the best."
Yun Hance couldn't help but kiss me on the face. Before I could even feel shy, I heard someone say, "Your Majesty, the Emperor wants you to come in."
Yun Hance took my hand and walked inside.
In the bright hall, there was a bitter smell of medicine. A middle-aged man with white hair on his temples was lying on the bed. He was Chu Fengque's biological father and the man the eldest princess liked. He looked much younger than the eldest princess. The eldest princess was well-maintained and looked only in her early 30s even though she was almost 40. The man in front of her should be a few years younger than the eldest princess, but he looked like he was in his 50s.
His hair and beard were covered with frost, and the intimidation in his eyes made my heart tremble. Yun Hance knelt down and saluted: "Your Highness, I am Yun Hance. I pay my respects to the Emperor."
I knelt down as well: "Your servant Su Ran pays respect to His Majesty."
I didn't hear any sound for a long time, so I looked up quietly. The person lying on the bed was staring at me with burning eyes. He didn't look like a patient, but more like a lion about to eat its prey.
I lowered my head again in an instant. Is this what Yun Hance meant by "serving the king is like serving a tiger"?
"Get up."
That voice was old and contained suppressed anger.
Yun Hance pulled me up and asked, "How is the emperor's body?"
The emperor patted the bed and said, "Ace, come here."
Yun Hance took my hand and walked up to me. The hatred in the emperor's eyes became more and more obvious: "Ace, do you think I won't do anything to her?"
Yun Hance sat down on the bed, and he pulled me to stand beside him: "Ace asks the emperor to grant me marriage, and give Su An's legitimate daughter Su Ran to me as my wife."
"My Junhua..." The emperor couldn't help but coughing again, and it took a long time for him to stop coughing: "Junhua died because of her. I will not, will not agree to you marrying her."
Yun Hance sighed and knelt down again. I knelt down with him: "Please grant me your blessing, Your Majesty."
I was kneeling on the ground and couldn't see the emperor's expression, but I thought he must be very angry.
After a few muffled coughs, Yun Hance knelt there firmly.
"What if I don't agree?"
There was a sense of arrogance in his tone, and he was indeed a superior who looked down on the world.
"The emperor doesn't agree. Ah Ce can only take Yuan Yuan away from the capital and live in Kunlun Mountain forever. He will never return to the capital."
"My...Jun Hua was killed by you personally. Her death was horrible. How could you bear to bring her to see me? And how could you bear to make such a request..."
The emperor's voice was rarely sad, and rarely had some strength in it.
"Your Majesty spoiled Junhua and allowed her to force me to marry her, which also hurt Yuanyuan. I feel extremely distressed and blame myself when I think about it now, so I came to ask for the imperial decree to grant her marriage because I don't want her to be hurt again."
The Emperor's glare shot towards me immediately. Yun Hance continued, "If the Emperor wants to hate, then hate me. Yuanyuan did nothing and has no ability to resist. All she can do is commit suicide in front of me in the torture chamber to protect my safety."
The emperor seemed stunned by this sentence. He knew about this matter, but the Su family was of low status and had no connections in the capital, so they were hurt.
But Yun Hance's words at this moment reminded him of how his sister, the eldest princess, protected him.
When he looked at me, there was a hint of nostalgia in his eyes: "I don't agree. You don't plan to be the regent? You don't plan to assist my Yongle?"
Yun Hance knew that the emperor had basically compromised at this moment, so he immediately said, "All I want in my life is to be happy. If the emperor can agree, I am willing to assist Yongle with all my heart and strength. When he can firmly sit on the throne, I will immediately resign and return to Kunlun Mountain and never return to Beijing."
How many people in this world are not tempted by power? The emperor naturally understood, and his eyes were full of doubts when he looked at Yun Hance.
"Of course I trust you. As long as you are willing to sincerely assist Yongle, I am willing to grant you marriage."
Seeing that the matter had been accomplished, Yun Hance immediately revealed a relaxed smile: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Get up."
This time, the emperor was not very angry.
It is true that the king's mind is hard to predict. He was so angry just now, but now he is smiling a little when looking at Yun Hance.
"Someone, bring some refreshments to Miss Su."
I was stunned. He wanted to kill me just now, but now, not only did he not hate me anymore, but he even asked someone to serve me tea?
It was just a normal sound, but the eunuch outside the door actually heard it.
The tea and snacks arrived soon. I glanced at Yun Hance and saw the emperor looking at me.
Yun Hance smiled at me, took a bite of the cake and said, "Eat it. You must be hungry now."
The emperor looked at me, and I could only secretly hold his hand and whisper, "Don't eat it, will it be poisonous?"
After all, he just wanted me to die.
