Empress Fenghua

Chapter 51
Hua Zhong followed Eunuch Du leisurely, and Hua Chong's feet hurt from the stones of various shapes on the corridor.Chuhua behind him held an umbrella for himself, and the light rain poured down.

Eunuch Du looked back at Hua Zhong's feet, hesitation flashed in his eyes, and he smiled, "Don't blame Gaoyi County Lord! It's raining today and the road is slippery. I'm afraid that the County Lord will fall, so I have to take this road, which is close and fast!"

Hua Zhong smiled slightly, politely, "Thank you, Eunuch Du, for your consideration, the county lord should hurry up!" Eunuch Du was obviously anxious to take him to face the saint, but he couldn't explain it clearly, why Hua Zhong didn't know what to do.

Early this morning, for unknown reasons, Eunuch Du issued an order to summon Hua to re-enter the palace for an audience.Hua Zhong thought about it all the way, but he couldn't come to a result after all.Hua Chong was dressed in azure palace attire, the style was complicated but extremely elegant, her head of black hair was draped behind her head, strings of small and round pearls dangled back and forth.Like a woman walking out of a painting in the south of the Yangtze River, with a touch of mistyness.

Eunuch Du couldn't help admiring, "Master Gaoyi really has a special demeanor! This old slave has been in the palace for decades, and he finds beautiful women whenever he sees her, but only the Lord Gaoyi makes people's eyes shine."

"Grandpa is absurd! Gao Yi's posture of Puliu, even the eldest sister is famous for being a beauty." Hua Chong laughed, "Gao Yi is ashamed of Du Gonggong's praise!"

Eunuch Du shook his head with a smile, "The most indispensable thing in the palace is beautiful women, but there are very few people with such an unforgettable character as the county master! If the county master believes in the old slave, don't mention it when you see the emperor. Miss."

Hua Zhong looked as usual, "Can Eunuch Du make it clear? Why did the emperor summon me for no reason?"

Eunuch Du stopped, and in front of him was a domineering palace.Hua Zhong is no stranger to this place. In his previous life, Ye Yongjia only allowed himself to enter and exit his Qinzheng Hall at will.

Eunuch Du turned around and looked at Hua Zhong, with a secretive look in his eyes, "Since Lord Gaoyi can reach this position, he must not be an ordinary person. I believe he can understand what this old servant means!"

Hua Zhong smiled and nodded, "Thank you, Eunuch Du, for your guidance!"

"Master, please wait here for a moment!" Eunuch Du bowed and stepped back.

Hua Zhong looked at the dark sky in the distance, and felt depressed. There are probably not a few people in the inner palace who are so meticulous.How can there be so little talk about bloody storms and rising clouds?
Standing under the eaves of the corridor, Chu Hua put away her umbrella and stood obediently aside.

Hua Zhong pretended to go to the eaves, reached out to catch the falling raindrops, and said in a low voice, "Did you tell Xue Wuhen about my entry into the palace?"

"Miss, don't worry! The slave has already spread the news." Chu Hua was very calm, slightly tilted his head to look at Du Gonggong and other people not far away, all bowed their heads in silence.

Suddenly, there was a sound of scolding in the hall, the door of the hall opened, and it was Concubine Meng and His Highness Ye Xinjia who came out.Ye Xinjia's face was ashen and indignant, and Concubine Meng's expression was also very bad.Seeing this scene, Hua Zhong couldn't help but smiled, and didn't say much, but Ye Xinjia saw Hua Zhong standing aside and stopped in his tracks.

"What? If you are the county head, you don't know the rules? You don't even salute when you see His Highness?" Ye Xinjia's cold tone was full of provocation.

Hua Zhong raised his eyes and saw that Ye Xinjia had lost a lot of weight recently, and looked a little haggard.Hua Zhong laughed and said, "The Sixth Highness has such a great fragrance!" The fragrance was a little distant and erratic, which made people's hearts flutter, and it was particularly dignified in the damp and cold air.

Ye Xinjia snorted coldly, "You, a little county magistrate, should take care of His Highness's affairs?"

Concubine Meng's eyes turned cold, she turned her head and scolded Ye Xinjia in a low voice, "Don't you think you lost enough people? Why don't you go back to me quickly!" After saying that, she nodded slightly to Huazhong and smiled reluctantly, "Yes. The county lord can't live!"

Hua Chong squatted down slightly to salute, "Concubine Meng, you are welcome! Gao Yi will visit Xinning Palace again some other day."

Eunuch Du walked into Huazhong and said with a smile, "Excuse me, Your Majesty, Sixth Highness! The emperor summoned County Lord Gaoyi, and invited County Lord Gaoyi to enter the palace."

Hua Zhong smiled slightly and followed Eunuch Du into the hall.Chu Hua stood outside the door with slightly worried eyes.As soon as Hua Zhong came in, the door of the main hall was closed, blocking the only light.

Sitting behind the table in the center of the hall, Emperor Cheng felt a little helpless, "You are here!" In one sentence, Hua Zhong couldn't hear whether it was a question or a statement.

Hua Zhong bowed deeply and saluted, "Gao Yi has met the emperor! May the emperor be happy and blessed forever!"

Emperor Cheng sneered, "Fortune is endless? How dare I expect blessings now? Look at each of my sons and daughters, will my country of Cheng continue to last?"

Hua Zhong lowered his head, showing a faint smile, "The emperor summoned Gao Yi, probably not to discuss the country with Gao Yi!"

Emperor Cheng stared at Huazhong in the center of the hall, and his slender figure seemed even more frail in the empty hall.

After a long while, Emperor Cheng smiled, "Sure enough, she is the daughter of the county lord of Hengyang. She has a bit of courage. There are not many people who dare to talk to me like this! Your mother is one of them."

Hua Zhong raised his head and looked at Emperor Cheng without any cover, and said indifferently, "I am the daughter of the Lord of Hengyang County, Ning Huazhong, and the honorable Lord Gaoyi of Chengguo! Gao Yi is no longer willing to hear the words 'Hengyang County' Daughter of the Lord' that's it! I am what I am, nothing else!"

"It's nothing else?" Emperor Cheng snorted coldly, "Do you know how many of my sons and daughters are under your control now? Your thoughts are more vicious than Hengyang! If Hengyang had half your courage and determination to kill, I'm afraid it wouldn't You're going to be immortal at such a young age!"

"The emperor seems to be very interested in Gao Yi's mother, but it's a pity that she didn't choose you in the end." Hua Zhong boldly looked at the angry Emperor Cheng, and said with a smile, "Your highnesses are all thoughtful people. How could Gao Yi play with him and applaud him? The emperor is too flattering of Gao Yi!"

Emperor Cheng sneered, "Praise? I'm afraid I've underestimated you! You actually made King Changji bow his head under Jiuer's command. Shouldn't I see you?"

Hua Zhong's face froze, and there was a slight doubt in his eyes, "King Changji? Is the emperor talking about King Changji who just returned to Beijing? Gao Yi had a relationship with the prince in the Swallow Tower. At that time, His Royal Highness Seventh Prince and His Royal Highness Ninth Prince... He was also there, and Gao Yi has not seen King Changji since then."

A complex look flashed in Emperor Cheng's eyes, "Is Lao Qi here?"

"Yes! Not only that, His Royal Highness also robbed Liu Se, the famous actress that King Changji liked. King Changji seems to be very angry!" Hua Zhong's attitude is true, which makes people have to believe it.

"Lao Qi is too bold! He even dared to snatch King Changji's woman." Emperor Cheng suddenly complained, "Why are all my sons so obsessed with women? How incompetent! Incompetent!"

After a while, Emperor Cheng sighed, "Only my Jiu'er is good! Jiu'er is always so gentle..."

Hua Zhong bowed his head and said nothing, but sneered in his heart. Emperor Cheng has always been meticulous, how could he easily let himself see what his heart wants?

"Gao Yi, which one of my sons do you think can entrust the important task?" Emperor Cheng's tone was very indifferent, so indifferent that Hua Zhong couldn't guess his emotions.

Beads of sweat could not help but ooze from Huazhong's forehead.If I say a wrong sentence today, I'm afraid I won't be able to leave the Hall of Qinzheng!
Hua Zhong hurriedly knelt on the ground, "Gao Yi dare not influence the holy will!"

Emperor Cheng smiled slightly, and his vicissitudes of eyes were full of light, "You just say it's okay, you are a child of Hengyang, and I didn't treat you as someone else! Otherwise, I wouldn't make you the head of Gaoyi County. This kind of honor is even a princess. No."

Hua Zhong raised his head slightly to look at Emperor Cheng, with gratitude in his eyes, "Your Majesty, my daughter grew up under the bullying of Feng's mother and daughter. Fortunately, my qualifications were mediocre and did not attract the attention of others, so I was able to save my life. My daughter is well aware of weakness. Only those who are as meticulous as Feng's mother and daughter are able to get everything they want. As the emperor said, if the mother is half ruthless, relying on her surprise Absolutely gorgeous ingenuity, I must be at ease now!"

There was a touch of sadness and choking in Hua Zhong's tone, which made Emperor Cheng feel pity in his heart.

Emperor Cheng was silent for a while, and said softly, "I understand what you mean!"

Hua Zhong hurriedly looked at Emperor Cheng in panic, "Gao Yi doesn't mean anything, please forgive me, Your Majesty!"

Emperor Cheng smiled faintly, "You know how to protect yourself wisely, so I won't embarrass you! You step back!"

Hua Zhong let out a long breath in his heart, and immediately relaxed a little, presumably Chengdi's temptation has succeeded, and he hoped that he did not show his feet!

Eunuch Du walked into the Hall of Qinzheng in a hurry, looked at Hua Zhong, hesitant to speak, "Your Majesty..."

Emperor Cheng looked awe-inspiring, "Why are you panicking?"

"Your Majesty, the young lady of Zhen Guogong's family has been poisoned!" Eunuch Du's voice trembled.

Cheng Di raised his eyebrows and stood up, shouting, "What? Poisoning? The wedding day is approaching, how can the good-looking princess be poisoned?"

When Hua Zhong heard it, his whole body stiffened, and he felt an ominous premonition...
