Chapter 82 Uncontrollable Rumors
The people in front of him thought the emperor was speaking ironically.
He immediately began to kowtow desperately.
"Your Majesty, I know I was wrong. I really do."
Xiao Zhang: "...What I want is that poisonous thing."
The poisonous things he needed were just poisonous to these people, such as peppers and potatoes.
But no matter which one it is, it is necessary.
The person in front of him began to slow down his kowtowing and his eyes became dazed.
Then he gritted his teeth and looked at Xiao Zhang in front of him.
"Your Majesty, I know my faults are irreparable, but I hope Your Majesty will give me a chance to reform! This time I will definitely be able to bring back what Your Majesty needs."
Xiao Zhang: "Still coming? The treasury is out of money?"
The person in front of me suddenly looked up, looking a little desolate.
"I, a sinner, have committed grave sins myself, but I beg Your Majesty to spare my family for my sincere efforts."
Xiao Zhang: "...Well, you did quite well this time. You don't have to die as an apology, because you're the only one with experience, and you'll be indispensable for the next voyage."
The person in front of him looked at Xiao Zhang with a hint of gratitude in his eyes.
The emperor must have taken him into consideration when he said this, and found a way for him to survive.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace. I will take my leave."
"Leave the poisonous stuff behind."
The person in front of him looked up in shock and looked at Xiao Zhang, as if he was still a little bit unbelievable.
"Your Majesty, this is truly poisonous."
Xiao Zhang nodded, with a hint of coldness in his eyes.
"I know what's going on."
The person in front of him was startled and then looked at Xiao Zhang.
"Your Majesty, because the number is too large, they are still on the ship. Should I bring them here now, or would Your Majesty like to go and see them in person?"
Xiao Zhang thought for a moment and said, "Forget it, I'll go with you."
Gu Gaoming's eyes turned cold. He had originally planned to destroy it before the emperor left, but it seemed that this was not possible.
I hope the emperor can listen to advice and not be so stubborn.
Xiao Zhang and Gu Gaoming were sitting inside the exquisite carriage.
Gu Gaoming has pointed out many times that this is not in line with the rules.
However, Xiao Zhang wanted to hear some interesting stories along the way and forced Gu Gaoming to stay in the carriage.
But, Your Majesty, after you get on the carriage, can you please listen to what I have to say?
He kept lifting the curtain of the carriage and looking outside. What was he doing?
Although Gu Gaoming thought so in his heart, his eyes were still respectful.
"Xiao Shengzi, how long has it been since I left the palace? Why am I unaware of all the rumors circulating outside the palace?"
Eunuch Sheng was sitting outside, stunned. This...
He just thought that Concubine Liang had fallen out of favor.
So the emperor was not told. Now it seems that once the emperor starts working, he will forget about Concubine Liang.
His love for Concubine Liang remains the same as before!
Eunuch Sheng looked at Gu Gaoming beside him, but did not respond.
He looked up and saw Xiao Zhang looking at him.
A little embarrassed.
"Your Majesty, this."
"Who is the demon concubine? And who is this emperor who is bewitched by the demon concubine?"
Eunuch Sheng: "...Uh, this."
Gu Gaoming could even feel fear for Eunuch Sheng.
“Empress Liang, the evil concubine who brought disaster to the country;
The emperor was young and untouched by temptation;
..."
Okay, there is no need for Eunuch Sheng to tell Xiao Zhang.
The singing of the person next to him was enough to tell Xiao Zhang all the information he wanted to know.
There was a smile on Xiao Zhang's face, but no one could fully understand what he was thinking!
Eunuch Sheng silently lowered the curtain in front of him, isolating himself from the emperor.
Gu Gaoming, who was in the carriage, was carefully observing Xiao Zhang's eyes in this suffocating atmosphere.
But when it really met Xiao Zhang's eyes, he retracted it again.
He should have been more resolute just now, and he wouldn't have to suffer here!!
It's only been a year or two, but the emperor is so different from when he first came to the throne.
The emperor who had just become emperor did not have many ambitions.
I just have a playful mind and just want to find a more concise and interesting craft.
That's why the sailing fleet came into being.
But the emperor now seems to have become very different.
It is impossible to guess what is going on in his eyes.
"When did the rumor start?"
After a long time, Xiao Zhang's voice came from the carriage.
"To answer your Majesty, it was probably three days ago."
That was the day Gu Gaoming came back. He was busy registering overseas matters and the money he spent this time, and he neglected Xiao Hanhan.
I haven't seen Xiao Hanhan's diary for a long time.
Xiao Zhang looked at Gu Gaoming standing beside him and said, "My dear, this carriage is really a bit slow. Let's just ride a horse! I wonder how good your riding skills are?"
Gu Gaoming was about to speak.
He is also very good at sailing and steering.
This, I don’t know how to do anything like riding a horse on land!!
But the words were completely blocked.
"Eunuch Sheng, bring some horses over."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Gu Gaoming was not given any chance to refute.
Looking at Gu Gaoming's final hesitation, Xiao Zhang's eyes were indifferent.
"Secret Guard, take Gu Aiqing on a ride for a while. If he's used to it, let him do it himself. If not, just follow behind."
If you go east from Kyoto, it takes about half a day on horseback to reach the port, where the official ships dock.
But if it is a horse-drawn carriage, it will take at least one day and at most three days.
Riding a horse is a relatively fast means of transportation.
"Secret Guard, where are the letters from Fang Hanwu these past two days?"
——Empress Liang said: The storm has finally come, but I didn’t expect this day to come so soon.
——Wen Xia: Your Majesty, there are so many rumors out there, why don’t you care at all?
——Empress Liang: This is the normal course of events. The Emperor is so worried, he must be protecting someone in his heart. His favor at the beginning was not real favor, he just wanted to push that person out to block the knife!
When Xiao Zhang saw this, his heart skipped a beat.
Then he squeezed his fingers tightly, leaving clearly visible fingerprints on the envelope.
I pinched myself with my hands but felt like I had no feeling at all.
There was a hint of smile in Xiao Zhang's eyes, but he also looked extremely sad.
So this is the real world inside the palace?
If you really like someone, you won’t show it easily, right?
No wonder Wen Han was so wary of him at the beginning.
Although I relaxed a bit later, I still felt a little weird.
That wasn't true love; Wen Han was just acting on purpose.
He always claims to be traveling through a book and watching the game from a God's perspective. Is there anyone who wouldn't be moved by him?
But it had always been his fault, being too confident.
