Madam, please listen to my explanation.

Chapter 53 Kneel down
Zhao Ruoxi's face was as gloomy as water.

What is Cangjian Villa?
What is Master Wu?

Why did she feel that Dengtu Zi's target from the very beginning was this brothel girl named Yun Ci?

"Master Xu, I'm sorry I can't obey your command."

Yun Ci's tone was calm, but his attitude was firm.

She calmly straightened the teacup in front of her and said calmly:

"Ever since the day I entered Yuanhua Tower, I have already put matters of life and death aside.

Even if my identity is revealed by the young master, the worst that can happen is that I die.

I absolutely cannot betray my adoptive father."

Xu Jinhuan shook his head:
"When did I ever tell you to betray Wu Jiuchi?"

Facing Yun Ci's puzzled gaze, he continued:

"As I said just now, Zhao Jingqian's intention to take over Cangjian Villa is not groundless.

You are willing to meet with Minister Chang Wei tonight, isn't it precisely to inquire about this matter?"

Yun Ci pretended to be calm on the surface, but his heart was already churning again.

It is true that I was ordered to settle in Kyoto and collect information.

But there have been recent rumors about Cangjian Villa and the purpose of meeting with the Minister of War.
It was clearly something I had only thought about in my mind and never told anyone else.

How did this man know?

The key point is, as the person that the emperor has been looking for so hard, why would he call him by his name directly, which is so disrespectful?
"Don't be too clever, Miss Yunci."

Xu Jinhuan took another sip of tea. "If I were the same kind as that sickly fellow, I would have been waiting by his side from the very beginning, doing my utmost to help him. Why would I have let him search so hard for nothing?"

Sick. Sickly person?!

This is a word that everyone in the world knows, but no one dares to speak out loud.
He actually said it out loud!
Yun Ci opened his mouth wide, not knowing how to respond.

Xu Jinhuan solemnly placed the teacup back in its place and leaned forward slightly. "Quite the opposite."

"According to that rumor, the prince left behind by the late Emperor Zhao Wuji is the one I pledge allegiance to."

Yun Ci's back was soaked with cold sweat.

Although I have been hiding in a brothel for many years, when have I ever heard such incredible news?
Is this something you can hear?
I understand it correctly.
this man
He wants to.
"Yes, that's right, we want to rebel."

Yun Ci: “???”

Xu Jinhuan: "To be honest, the reason I came to you was not on a whim or out of kindness.

It's for money and weapons."

"The same result will come to fruition. It all depends on whether Master Wu is willing to be suppressed by the current ruler and forced to surrender.

Or cooperate with me and provide timely assistance.

This is a serious matter and I am afraid you cannot make the decision.

Otherwise, tell your adoptive father everything you have seen and heard today.

Or, right now, go out into the streets and report me.

The choice is entirely up to the girl."

Yun Ci tried hard to digest the information in the other party's words.

This man is so honest!

Just go out on the streets and report it?

I'm just not afraid of death, not that I think my life is too long!
I must tell my godfather about this!

No matter the cost!

Just as I was thinking about it, I saw the man opposite me raised his eyebrows.

Soon, almost everyone felt something unusual outside the building.

Xu Jinhuan had never thought that His Majesty would be so anxious?
Turning to look at Zhao Ruoxi.

The princess looked fiercely at the only entrance to the courtyard.

The murderous intent on his body was so strong that it seemed to be tangible.

He grasped the hand that was trembling with excitement in his palm.

Xu Jinhuan comforted softly:

"Don't worry."

"The fun has just begun."

"Um"

Zhao Ruoxi responded, and her hands stopped shaking.

Since I set out on the journey, I have already done enough disguise, so I am not afraid of being recognized by the other party.

The thought of meeting that beast who had murdered her father and brother made her unable to control herself.
"Your Majesty has arrived——"

Cao Gao's sharp voice echoed throughout the courtyard. The two eunuchs accompanying him pushed the door open.

Zhao Jingqian, wearing a crown and a dragon robe, entered first.

This was the first time Xu Jinhuan met the other person.

His steps were unsteady, and his wide sleeves seemed to be weighing down his frail shoulders.

Even though he was wearing the most status-revealing clothes on earth, it was still difficult to hide his face as pale as paper.

Just as Yun Ci was about to kneel down, his body was grabbed by a strong arm.

Her heart was beating like a drum.

Without time to think, he quickly followed the two people beside him and bowed slightly to the man:

"See Your Majesty."

Zhao Jingqian was slightly stunned, but he smiled as if in the spring breeze.

He quickly stepped forward, grabbed the hand of the man in the middle, and said sincerely:

"Sir, you are so polite!"

"I hope I am not disturbing you, sir, by visiting you so late at night."

Zhao Ruoxi: "Excuse me."

"???"

The smile on Zhao Jingqian's face froze.

He never thought that before Xu Jinhuan even opened his mouth, the pretty boy next to him dared to speak so arrogantly?

"Shen Xi, don't be rude."

Xu Jinhuan blamed him.

Zhao Jingqian: "It's okay, it's okay"

“But it did disturb me.

What can I do for you, Your Majesty?"

Zhao Jingqian suppressed his anger.

It has been a long time since I ascended the throne, and no one dared to speak to me like this.
However, whether it was for the elixir or the imperial edict from the national master.

At this moment, he decided to endure it.

Stay calm. Stay calm!

"I'm so sorry to disturb you, sir!

Please, sir, allow me to express my apologies!"

"Here comes someone!"

After clapping their hands, a group of servants filed in from outside the courtyard.

They carried two wooden boxes and placed them gently in front of the people.

From the noise the wooden box made when it fell to the ground, you could tell it was quite heavy.

Zhao Jingqian coughed lightly twice and said, "Mr. Xu has come all the way to Yanjing. It must be very tiring!

I have selected a mansion in the inner city and gifted it to you, sir.

I hope you can stay a little longer, sir!
"Here's some silver, sir, take it and buy some belongings. Please don't refuse!"

There is no reason not to accept the benefits that come to your door.
Xu Jinhuan nodded without hesitation:

“Your Majesty is thoughtful.

The money can be accepted, but the house is not necessary.

I have decided to stay in this floating cloud cottage for the time being."

After Zhao Jingqian finished speaking, Shen Xi looked at him with murderous intent.
Zhao Jingqian remained calm and waved his hand:
"The title deed to the house is in the wooden box. It's up to you, sir, to decide where you want to live!"

This kid is quite smart!
Xu Jinhuan has received professional training and doesn't laugh easily.

Then, he heard the other party continue:

"Just now it was just a greeting gift, and next is an apology!
I heard someone offended you, sir, so I brought some people here overnight to apologize!"

"Where is Deputy Zhuang, the cameraman?"

In the back, Zhuang Jinyu, who had been hiding in the corner for fear of being noticed by the other party, was stunned.

Your Majesty is calling me?
On the way, His Majesty and I talked and laughed.
It must not be what you think!

She repeatedly persuaded herself in her heart and walked out of the crowd silently.

He didn't notice that his legs had begun to tremble.

"The subordinate is here!"

"Your Majesty!"
