Chapter 71: Willing to Stay by Her Side

The candles in the house flickered, and everyone understood His Majesty's determination and no longer hid their feelings. They spoke boldly.

Ming He said in a sullen tone: "If you want to seize power quickly, you can only force the Empress Dowager to rebel first."

Yan Yu looked up at Jun Lin and said bluntly: "Your Majesty, you can create loopholes, such as pretending to leave the palace to let the other party down, and the other party will definitely speed up their actions while you are away."

Manchuan stroked Hu Xian's beard and suggested: "You can pretend to be a person of wealth and splendor, and act majestic on the outside, but act like a timid person with no opinion in front of the Empress Dowager, and follow her wishes and pretend to let her do whatever she wants, so as to win her trust..."

Jun Lin stroked his chin and sighed: "I'm not very good at installing the nest bag. I need to practice."

After all, Emperor Jing is so domineering, cool and awesome, and he is used to being so arrogant. It is a test of her acting skills when he suddenly pretends to be scared.

Everyone was amused by her words and couldn't help laughing.

Manhuang whispered: "Master, just calm down for a moment."

Although Emperor Jingdi usually looks gentle, he is actually quite deceptive. His thin and frail appearance always gives people the impression that he is easy to bully.

She wondered, "Really? Then I'll try my best."

Later she realized that one point was due to her acting skills, and nine points were due to her uncle's cover-up. She was not born to be a coward.

Ming He looked at her depressed expression and tried to suppress his smile. His clear eyes were soft and beautiful. "Some forces in the hands of the Empress Dowager are not completely loyal to her, and there are some neutral factions that are wavering. I think I can go and persuade them."

Jun Lin looked at her left prime minister with an expectant look, and was very excited: "Oh? How sure is Minghe?"

The man smiled: "Ninety percent."

Moreover, if you look at me like this, how can I not succeed?

She laughed heartily, raised her glass and drank it all, her eyebrows curved: "Minghe, I'm lucky to have it."

Minghe raised the cup, covered his lips with his sleeve and drank it down in one gulp.

But the sake seemed to make his body even hotter as it went into his stomach. Fortunately, the tips of his ears, which were covered with a thin layer of red, could not be seen clearly under the flickering candlelight in the night.

Manchuan was delighted: "I can take him down too!"

Jun Lin boasted: "That's right, I have learned a lot from the Confucianism's three-inch intellect since I was a child, and I will definitely be able to win it!"

Manchuan: “…”

My face suddenly darkened. I just nagged you a few times in class when you were a kid. How could you really hold a grudge against me until now?

"Oh, I really respect you, teacher, please don't be angry."

"snort!"

He turned his head away and ignored her, but everyone in the room was laughing.

Emperor Jing, the left prime minister, the right prime minister, this group of enemies is really worthy of their reputation.

Jun Lin turned his gaze to Yan Yu. The young man was still feeling uncomfortable, as if he was a little unfamiliar with being dragged into this small circle by Emperor Jing. He did not dare to answer directly, and was always smiling shyly, almost becoming a foil. She raised her eyebrows: "Yan Yu, do you know why I asked you to come for such an important matter?"

The young man paused, then bowed with both hands and said respectfully, "I understand. Your Majesty is expressing your trust in me."

She smiled, "You are quite smart. Why don't you give us some advice? Everyone is waiting for you to speak!"

Yanyu looked around blankly, and everyone was looking at him with a smile.

It seemed to be saying: If you don't speak up, His Majesty will blame us for ignoring you.

The teasing look made him stunned for a moment and then he smiled implicitly.

He whispered, "Your Majesty is so faithful to me, what if I betray you?"

Jun Lin crossed his arms and raised his lips to ask, "Can you?"

Without waiting for his answer, she sighed and said, "I don't want to kill talented people. You also know that you can't beat me, so if you betray me——"

"Yunyu, no matter what method you use, I will kill you with my own hands."

She was smiling when she said this. Jun Lin didn't bother to hide anything because she had chosen to be honest with him. She didn't lie to him in any way.

Although the words were unpleasant to hear and tinged with tension, they made Yanyu feel the joy of being trusted.

The emperor didn't mind his commoner origin or the fact that he was from southern Xinjiang, and he even personally taught him how to break through his sword bottleneck. But now he was afraid that he might be left out, so he took the initiative to talk to him.

She was the first to show her sincerity, and now that things have come to this, how could Yanyu dare not accept the other party's affection?

The young man stood up, and the beautiful flowers, orchids, jade trees, and the gentle breeze and bright moon seemed to embrace him.

He bowed solemnly and reverently, his wide sleeves swaying slightly, his black hair hanging down, his clear and elegant eyebrows and eyes were calm: "My world is not so entangled with interests. I only know that those who treat me well in this world are good."

"Your Majesty has already gone this far, so I would be disrespectful."

Jun Lin was smiling and in a very good mood. He said to Ming He, "Although Yan Yu is a military commander, his character is somewhat similar to yours. He speaks a lot of literary words."

Ming He, who looked a little dazed, suddenly came back to his senses, and his elongated ending tone was filled with helplessness and tolerance: "Master, you always make fun of me."

She said confidently: "This is because of our good relationship. I won't open it even if others want me to."

Good relationship.

The man's hand holding the wine glass paused imperceptibly, then he took a sip and looked at her with his long eyelashes raised, his eyes filled with loneliness and determination.

yes.

How can the relationship be bad?

He wants to follow her for the rest of his life.

She was the queen and he was the minister. He assisted her and stayed by her side all his life.

That's enough.

That's enough.

Greed should not be allowed to grow.

Do not allow it to grow.

Manhuang was not good at speaking and seldom spoke on his own initiative. At this moment, his pair of dark eyes moved around at everyone. He looked at Yanyu, then at Minghe, and finally set his gaze on Junlin. His sharp eyes softened.

Whatever.

Anyway, he is the Lord's evil dog.

Even if the Lord loosened the rope, he would run back to her again and again.

A dog cannot live without his owner.

Him too.

Manhuang's mind is always so simple that he can't even have any greedy thoughts.

Just stay like this, always by her side and do her bidding. It's like he was born to protect her.

Savage has only one wish, to make his Lord happy and dazzling forever.

Live freely forever.
