[Emperor Chapter 38] Your Majesty, I love you (End)

Chu Jiao subconsciously wanted to struggle, but the next moment her lips and tongue were occupied by a familiar breath. The impatient kiss, still as eager as when she was a teenager, was very easy to recognize, and it was no one else except her young master.

Chu Jiao was surprised and happy. Shouldn't this man still be at the border? Why did he come back at this time?

The ups and downs of cries for help not far away became the background. The two hid in the water behind the reef, their bodies pressed together, and they kissed each other.

It was not until Chu Jiao couldn't hold it back anymore and gently hammered the young man's chest that the man reluctantly let go of her lips and dived out of the water with her in his arms.

"Miss me?"

The tight force on her waist made Chu Jiao realize that the person in front of her was the "blackened" Jing Chen. She touched his eyes in surprise, which were as usual and not black. "Are all your illnesses healed!?"

The young man snorted, "Sure enough, you are still concerned about "him"!"

"Why are you still angry?" Chu Jiao pulled his ear, "I told you that you two are one, and I like the whole Ah Chen!" Chu Jiao couldn't explain split personality to an ancient person, so she could only try her best to comfort the insecure young man with her own feelings.

"You are used to coaxing me!" The young man's ears turned red, and he bit Chu Jiao several times in anger, and finally he was relieved of his temper that he didn't even know why.

Both of their clothes were soaked through, and this was not a good place to talk.

Jing Chen took off his outer robe, wrapped Chu Jiao tightly, and said to her, "Hold your breath, we'll go another way."

After saying that, he paused again, tapped his lips meaningfully, "If you can't hold it, I'll help you breathe."

Chu Jiao rolled her eyes at Jing Chen. She was fine in the sea for seven days and seven nights, and now she is in a mortal body, it shouldn't be difficult to hold her breath. This guy is really, like a little boy, always looking for opportunities to take advantage of her. Seeing

that the person in his arms looked down on him, the young man gritted his teeth, hugged her waist tightly, and went under the reef. That boy kept warning him in his mind not to bully this woman, saying that he could never bully her, because she always had them all to herself!

When the two returned to Master Jiang's place to wash up, Chu Jiao sat down and listened to Jing Chen's casual account of what happened to him after they separated.

The war had already begun, and Jing Chen was already wary of Marquis Weiyuan. When he sneaked into the enemy's rear to burn food and grass, he heard their plan and learned about Marquis Weiyuan's entire conspiracy.

It turned out that Marquis Weiyuan had long planned to replace the emperor, and this war was the lead. His original plan was to feign defeat, and then let a small group of Nanman elite soldiers enter the capital to help his people assassinate the emperor, and then he would turn defeat into victory and go to the capital to rescue the emperor with great reputation. Of course, the emperor was accidentally stabbed to death during this process, and he, as the pioneer of the rescue, supported his future son-in-law, the sixth prince Jingchen, to become the emperor, and he himself became the regent.

However, what Weiyuan Hou did not expect was that Jingchen was not as rootless and weak as he imagined.

Jingchen did not obey Weiyuan Hou's dispatch at all. When Weiyuan Hou wanted to retreat on the battlefield, he deliberately exposed his identity as a prince. Although they were attacked by the enemy and suffered some injuries, they still successfully repelled the Nanman under the boost of the Daye army's morale, disrupting the plan of Weiyuan Hou.

The Nanman began to cause trouble for Weiyuan Hou, and Jingchen took the opportunity to collect a lot of evidence.

Weiyuan Hou had already decided to kill him, so Jingchen simply gathered his trusted men and returned to Beijing first. They also learned from Weiyuan Hou's secret drawings that there was a secret passage leading directly to the outside of the city in the villa of Weiyuan Hou's mansion. They

groped their way in along the canal outside the city and finally found the artificial lake, and happened to encounter the scene of Chu Jiao falling into the water before.

After listening to Jingchen's story, Chu Jiao became concerned about his injury. "Where are you injured?"

"Is it serious?!"

"Why did you go into the water when you were injured?!"

Chu Jiao's rapid-fire questions made Jing Chen feel a headache. He quickly covered his chest and coughed twice, "Cough, cough, fortunately, nothing serious."

Chu Jiao stopped talking and quickly turned his head to look at Master Jiang who was sitting calmly drinking tea, "Grandpa, please have a look. Is Achen's injury serious? He just soaked in water for a long time!"

Master Jiang stroked his beard and waved his hand cheerfully, "I checked on this kid when he came back. He's fine. He's almost healed. It won't affect him, it won't affect him."

So Jing Chen had come back earlier? Chu Jiao was angry, "Your grandfather and grandson teamed up to hide it from me, right!"

"You happened to go to the banquet when I came back," Jing Chen looked very honest at this moment, and explained seriously, "Besides, I just want to deal with their family as soon as possible and marry you as soon as possible!"

"Oh, if you didn't mention it, I forgot that the Sixth Prince has a fiancée and is about to get married." Chu Jiao deliberately made things difficult.

Jing Chen hurriedly held Chu Jiao's hand, "Little Dumpling, don't you know my heart? I only like you!"

Jing Chen pointed at Master Jiang again, "Grandpa is my witness, and heaven and earth can see it!"

Master Jiang nodded happily, indicating that what his grandson said was true.

Chu Jiao stared at Jing Chen for a few times, making Jing Chen feel uncomfortable, "What, what's wrong, Jiao?"

"Great," Chu Jiao put her hands on her hips, "it turns out that you have been able to control yourself a long time ago, right?"

She felt something was wrong just now, it turned out that the 'blackened' Jing Chen had hidden himself, and the one who came out this time was the honest young boy Jing Chen!

"It's all... it's all because of the last battle... I felt like I was dying, and then he woke me up... Then, then we can coexist in this body together..."

Jing Chen looked at her pitifully, "Ah Jiao, I've become so strange... Will you still love me?"

His dark and bright eyes seemed to have returned to the scene when Chu Jiao first saw him, and Chu Jiao's heart softened. She held his hand and promised, "Of course!"

Jing Chen happily hugged Chu Jiao, and Chu Jiao screamed in shock.

When Chu Jiao couldn't see, Jing Chen and Master Jiang looked at each other, and cunning flashed in the eyes of the old and the young.

Yun Wan smiled and sent the guests attending the banquet to the carriage one by one, and turned around and threw things all over the room in anger.

Such a good banquet was ruined by Chu Jiao! Her reputation, which she had built up for many years, was almost destroyed by this incident!

Yun Wan had never been treated like this before!

Yun Wan thought that Chu Jiao had shaken off her hands and ran away first. She was furious and determined to teach this woman a lesson. However, before she could implement her next plan, Yun Wan found that she couldn't even leave the mansion.

The entire Weiyuan Marquis's mansion was surrounded by soldiers from the Five Cities Military Department. The family members in the mansion were confused and terrified.

"What's going on? My father is the victorious general and marquis of Weiyuan, who was personally appointed by the emperor! My aunt is the dignified Concubine Hui! What are you doing to surround the marquis's mansion?!" Yun Wanbi had seen many big scenes in the palace, so she was not as confused as the women in the back house. Instead, she shouted at the tightly closed door, "Call your leader! I want to go to the palace to see the emperor!"

After a long while, the door finally opened with a creaking sound. A handsome man with a jade-like face and wearing a brocade robe walked in, followed by two eunuchs, one holding a wooden plate and the other holding a whisk, with an arrogant look on his face.

"Sixth Prince!?" Yun Wan was a little surprised that her fiancé, who was supposed to be at the border, showed up here, but she was even happier in her heart, thinking that he was here to save her. She quickly ran up to him, grabbed his sleeve and said, "Sixth Prince, take me to see the emperor. My father is still fighting bloody battles at the border. What basis do these people have to surround my mansion?!" "

Fighting bloody battles?" Jing Chen shook off the hands that were trying to cling to him, glanced to the side guiltily, and then continued, "Your father intended to collaborate with the enemy and sell out the country. The evidence is conclusive. He is now on the way back to Beijing. If you have any grievances, wait until he is brought back and you can sue in prison!"

"No, impossible!" Yun Wan shook her head, "You are lying!"

Yun Wan didn't want to believe it, and didn't want to believe it. She looked up at Jingchen, "Sixth Prince, please save my father, he won't do such a thing! He is your future father-in-law! Please save him, Awan will serve you well in the future!"

Jingchen looked down at her, as if he was looking at an extremely disgusting insect.

"Father-in-law? Oh, you want to be my wife?"

The young man slowly bent down, with resentment and annoyance in his eyes that he was too lazy to hide, "If it weren't for you, how could I be separated from my beloved for so long?" "

I will only have one wife..." He stood up, looked behind him with a soft look, and then said coldly to Yun Wan, "And that can't be you."

Yun Wan turned her eyes to the direction where Jingchen was looking, and that was the little eunuch who had been holding a tray with his head lowered.

Suddenly, the eunuch raised his head slightly and smiled at her.

It was clearly the eunuch who followed the Sixth Prince in the past, Xiao Dumpling!

"No, impossible! You, you are dead!" Yun Wan stepped back as if she had seen a ghost, shaking her head in disbelief.

"Alright, this woman has gone crazy, suppress her."

Jing Chen waved his hand to block Yun Wan's sight, "Eunuch Zhang, please announce the decree."

The round-faced middle-aged eunuch standing behind him smiled and opened the bright yellow imperial edict on the tray. He looked around with satisfaction at the people in Weiyuan Marquis' Mansion who were now like bereaved parents, especially Yun Cong, the trembling prince of Weiyuan Marquis' Mansion who was standing behind Yun Wan and didn't dare to say a word. He stared at him for a long time before slowly speaking.

"The Emperor, in compliance with the Will of Heaven, proclaims that the victorious general Yun Fei of Marquis Weiyuan has colluded with foreign invaders and committed treason for glory. This has now been proven, and I am deeply saddened and furious..."

Because the evidence provided by Jingchen was solid, and there was also a letter of treason provided by Chu Jiao as evidence, the Emperor was furious and directly issued an imperial decree to imprison all the men in the Marquis Weiyuan Mansion, and to make the women serve as official prostitutes. Of course, the marriage between Jingchen and Yun Wan was also annulled.

The little eunuch who followed Jingchen to announce the decree was of course Chu Jiao. She had dressed up as a eunuch again in order to meet her godfather Zhang Shun, which actually scared Yun Wan.

Zhang Shun has now become the chief steward of the imperial court, and is very favored by the emperor. He has already cleaned up the mess left by Chu Jiao in the palace. This time, he specifically took over the job of announcing the imperial edict, which can be regarded as revenge for Chu Jiao's parents.

Jing Chen, who has restored his appearance and has military merits, has become a prince who is highly regarded by the court. His abilities are gradually recognized by court officials and the people. He soon surpassed the third and fourth princes, and gradually affected the aging emperor.

But since ancient times, emperors have been suspicious. Although the old emperor favored Jing Chen, he did not make him the crown prince. Instead, he dragged his feet and deliberately promoted the third and fourth princes to oppose Jing Chen from time to time.

Jing Chen was not in a hurry at all. Now that he had found Chu Jiao, he didn't care much about the others. The only thing he asked of the emperor was to ask for a marriage between him and Chu Jiao.

Chu Jiao was a princess and the granddaughter of Master Jiang, but she had no one in her family and could not give Jing Chen any political help. Everyone thought that Jing Chen was stimulated by the incident in Weiyuan Marquis' Mansion and wanted to prove his innocence to the emperor, so he chose such a woman with no family background.

But only Jing Chen himself knew that this was the person he had been dreaming of.

The old emperor was happy to see this and readily agreed. Chu Jiao married the popular Sixth Prince in Beijing with the title of princess. Countless ladies crushed their handkerchiefs and lamented her good fortune, but no one thought that when everyone hated the Sixth Prince, she was the only one who stood by him.

After the Sixth Prince ascended the throne, he rejected all objections and abolished the harem.

Throughout his life, he only held hands with Empress Chu Jiao, and there were no other concubines around him.

When the two stood hand in hand in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, holding the world in his arms, Emperor Jing, who was later praised as "Jingye Mingjun", turned his head and asked the woman standing shoulder to shoulder with him.

"A Jiao, do you love me?"

The Empress, wearing a phoenix robe, shook his hand back, her eyes full of tenderness and love.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I love you."

Later, according to historical records, the Emperor and Empress had a deep affection for each other throughout their lives.

The Empress was coquettish, and the Emperor doted on her very much. The Empress liked to dress up as a eunuch, accompanying Emperor Jing, and even in the court, and no one could recognize her. The emperor often inquired about his thoughts and observed his words, until something happened and he stopped after being repeatedly admonished by the censors.
