After Wearing a Book, I Pampered Five Big Villains

Chapter 499 The so-called truth

Imperial Palace.

A palace official walked into the palace quickly, knelt on his knees and reported: "Your Majesty, the governor of Jingzhao Prefecture has arrested another rumor-monger today. The rumor-monger claims that the third son of the prime minister's residence is actually a woman."

The old emperor originally sat on the dragon chair with his head half supported and closed his eyes to rest his mind. Hearing this, he suddenly opened his eyes, his expression frightened for a moment.

The palace was terrified, feeling a sense of killing intent for no reason, and hurriedly buried its head lower. .

"How did the governor of Jingzhao deal with it?" the old emperor asked.

The palace man lowered his head and said in earnest: "Master Fu Yin reprimanded the rumor-mongers for lying and confusing people's hearts. Commander Sun and Xun Sijie also went to assist in the review, and they all believed that what the rumor-mongers said was not true."

The old emperor snorted coldly, waved his hands and said, "Go down."

"No." The palace man bowed his head and walked out quickly.

The air pressure in the main hall was very low, and everyone dared not make a sound.

The old emperor was silent for a while, then suddenly said: "Go and invite Miss Yan into the palace."

Another compartment.

Yan Luoyu recently lived in the princess' mansion, and he was very irritable.

Although this kind of irritability directly stems from Princess Leping’s cynicism at her every day, it also stems from her idleness.

She is asking for something, and now this kind of leisure life in the princess mansion is not what she wants.

Yan Luoyu became ruthless, secretly thinking that since His Majesty did not deport her back to Jinzhou, why should she stay in the Princess Mansion so obediently? The so-called mountain does not come to me, I come to the mountain. Even if His Majesty didn't call her into the palace, she can take the initiative to ask to enter the palace.

Just when she had this plan, people from the palace came.

"Miss Yan, please enter the palace." The palace man stepped aside respectfully to lead the way.

All of this fell into Yan Luoyu's hands.

She was overjoyed, and even followed the palace guards into the palace.

As soon as he stepped into the hall, Yan Luoyu keenly sensed that something was wrong with the atmosphere.

The maids and eunuchs in the palace were all too quiet and too nervous. They shrunk their shoulders and buried their heads deeply, as if they were extremely afraid of His Majesty today.

Yan Luoyu's heart trembled slightly. Although he had no foresight about what would happen next, he also guessed that it shouldn't be something pleasant.

"Luoyu, you are here." The old emperor's gloomy face suddenly softened after seeing the old man's daughter. It looked like a glacier thawed, which was really amazing.

Yan Luoyu didn't dare to do anything wrong, so he saluted the old emperor very respectfully: "I have seen the emperor's uncle."

"There is no need to be so polite." The old emperor stood up, helped Yan Luoyu up himself, and said very kindly, "You have no father since you were young, and I am your father. When you are in front of me, you follow Just like in front of your own father, don't be restrained."

Such words come from the mouth of an emperor, which will be more or less touching.

What's more, the old emperor speaks the truth now, both in expression and tone are extremely sincere and kind.

Yan Luoyu was really touched a little.

But she still sticks to her duty, she talks about God's grace and generosity, and her actions are still very disciplined—but she is a little more intimate than before.

The old emperor saw Yan Luoyu's appropriate behavior in his eyes, and thought very relieved: She deserves to be a daughter of Taoism, she is smart.

The old emperor sat back on the dragon chair, and then ordered with a sullen face: "Everyone step down."

The maids and eunuchs in the hall responded in unison, and then filed out in a well-trained manner. The whole process was quiet, and there was not even the sound of a little heavy footsteps.

Yan Luoyu thought to himself that the rules in the palace were strict, and at the same time secretly thought that what the old emperor wanted to tell her must be very important, otherwise the group of palace people would not have been sent away.

"Luoyu, come here." The old emperor waved at Yan Luoyu.

At this time, he has returned to his kind appearance, just like an old father facing his daughter, only seeing kindness, but not majesty.

Yan Luoyu lowered his head and walked up to the old emperor without haste.

The old emperor continued: "Luoyu, sit beside me."

Yan Luoyu was very astonished, his expression changed immediately, he lowered his head and dared not respond.

The dragon chair is very wide. Although the old emperor usually sits in the middle, in fact, one chair can almost sit three people at the same time.

But spaciousness does not mean that three people really need to be seated.

There is only one person in the world who can sit on that kind of supreme throne.

Although Yan Luoyu was very interested in the throne, he was not stupid enough to do it on the throne when the Ninth Five Lord was still present.

However, the old emperor didn't seem to shy away from this kind of thing at all, instead he urged again: "Luoyu, sit here."

Repeatedly, Yan Luoyu walked forward hesitantly, but she still didn't dare to sit in front of the dragon chair.

The old emperor saw her indecision, and said with a smile: "I dare not even sit on the dragon chair, let alone own this dragon chair."

These words have profound meaning.

Yan Luoyu suddenly raised his head in shock, his face full of astonishment.

But she immediately realized that her behavior was too aggressive, so she immediately lowered her head again.

But even so, her heart beat fast and her mind was wild.

What does His Majesty mean by those words?

Are you mocking her for not thinking about the throne?

Or are you encouraging her to fight bravely?

But regardless of the result, it shows that His Majesty has seen her ambition.

Moreover, judging from His Majesty's current attitude, His Majesty does not seem to be angry at her ambition.

On the contrary, His Majesty seems to be guiding her all the time—teaching her to read memorials, telling her about the intricate relationship between courtiers in the court, and sorting out the internal situation of the central organization for her.

His Majesty even gave her a special volume to let her understand the internal structure and personnel composition of the three provinces and six departments according to the volume.

All these things all show that His Majesty not only does not reject her ambition, but wants to fulfill her ambition!

Yan Luoyu's heartbeat was so fast that it seemed to jump out of her throat.

For the first time in her life, she felt that the throne was so close to her—a real closeness, without the slightest illusory color in it.

But under such great joy and temptation, Yan Luoyu suddenly came to his senses, his whole body broke out in a cold sweat, and quickly bent his knees and knelt down, shouting tremblingly: "Your Majesty!"

The old emperor frowned slightly, and said distressedly: "Why did you kneel down?"

Yan Luoyu knelt on the ground and refused to get up. With his head bowed deeply, he said sincerely and fearfully: "Luoyu is deeply loved by His Majesty, but he dare not think anything wrong. This world belongs to His Majesty, and Luoyu is just an ordinary member of the Yan family. Girl, I never had any thoughts of transgression."
