Chapter 70 Emperor Wen eavesdropped! Escaped again?
He Zhaojun simply shook her head calmly: "The emperor guards the country's gates, and the king dies for the country.[34] The He family is loyal to the emperor and serves him faithfully. Let alone today when you ordered my two brothers to go to war, even if you asked everyone in the He family to go into battle right now, I, He Zhaojun, would definitely be the first to lead the charge."
"I am so conscious, willing to sacrifice my life for the people I leave behind, let alone my father and brothers. They have already written letters breaking off the engagement. If one day they die on the battlefield, they will ask me to find a good man for my sister-in-law to remarry."
He Zhaojun also stepped forward and whispered to Wen Ziduan, "Your Highness, Third Prince, were you scared just now? Afraid that I would blame you? Or afraid that I wouldn't blame you?"
Wen Ziduan was dumbfounded. Before he could figure out how to answer He Zhaojun's question, he caught sight of Cao Changshi's hat not far away. He was startled. Was his father nearby?
"What a good emperor guarding the national border! The king dies for the country! The He family really gave birth to a good daughter!" Emperor Wen came out from behind the corner tree, looking at He Zhaojun and Wen Ziduan with a smile.
Concubine Yue was helpless: "Your Majesty, please don't scare Zhaojun. Eavesdropping on the conversation of the younger generation is not an upright act."
"How can I scare her? Haven't you heard that General He is going to go into battle and take the lead?!" Emperor Wen and Concubine Yue continued to quarrel, completely ignoring the fact that He Zhaojun was still kneeling on the ground.
He Zhaojun seemed calm, but she was actually terrified. Fortunately, she did not let her guard down and told others things that had not happened as recklessly as usual. Otherwise, she would have been caught as a monster.
He Zhaojun bowed her head and said, "I am terrified."
Emperor Wen sighed, asked He Zhaojun to stand up, took Concubine Yue's hand, and strolled towards Yongle Palace.
"A little girl from the He family knows that serving the country is the duty of an official. Some generals are idle and just do nothing, spending their days having fun. And the prince actually protects them!"
As he spoke, Emperor Wen sighed deeply, clearly angry. "A few days ago, I issued an edict reprimanding Wang Yan and ordering her and her father, Wang Chun, to reflect on their actions at home. Guess what happened?"
"Today, the daughter of the old Gan'an King brought Wang Yan to Changqiu Palace and nearly injured Shen'an."
"She actually threatened the Queen and demanded the right to mint coins for the young Prince Gan'an. This is truly unreasonable! Her son, Wang Long, is no good either. Yet, the Crown Prince entrusted him with such an important task. He doesn't even consider the moral character of this family!"
Concubine Yue listened silently to Emperor Wen's complaints. Since this matter involved the Xuan family, no matter how angry Emperor Wen was, she would not say a word. And she knew exactly who the Emperor was trying to impress with this look of anger at her lack of resistance.
Wen Ziduan and He Zhaojun followed behind the two men, also lowered their heads and pretended to be dumb, allowing Emperor Wen to nag.
Finally, Concubine Yue saw the gate of Yongle Palace from afar. She turned around, took He Zhaojun in one hand and Wen Ziduan in the other, and walked inside, leaving Emperor Wen far behind.
"close the door!"
Before Emperor Wen could finish his rambling, he was locked outside by Concubine Yue again. He Zhaojun watched from afar as Emperor Wen continued to talk to the Yongle Palace door as if nothing had happened, and then left with a calm expression. She found it quite miraculous.
Concubine Yue sat down and nodded at the two of them: "Please sit down, you must have had a hard journey. You are all smart and good children. Fortunately, Sanniang entered the palace late today, otherwise there might be some trouble."
He Zhaojun suddenly remembered that if the third princess met Shao Shang who was alone today, she would probably bully him by taking advantage of her power.
