"Yes!" The emperor smiled and nodded, looking at Meng Shu who was standing aside: "Miss Meng, there's no need to be polite, just sit down!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Meng Shu thanked her and sat down next to Princess Jiahe.
"Xuan'er is so naughty, I've made you worry about it!" the emperor said with a smile.
Meng Shu didn't expect that the emperor would talk to her, and he was talking about Princess Jiahe. How could she reply?
The princess was not naughty, and she didn't bother much.
Meng Shu stood up and was about to reply when the emperor's voice came to her ears again: "Just sit down. You are Xuan'er's guest. You don't need to be polite in her Yaohua Palace."
Meng Shu was suddenly interrupted by the emperor and forgot what he was about to say.
Princess Jiahe, on the other hand, pouted with an unhappy look on her face: "Brother Emperor, I'm not a child, how could I be so naughty?"
When the emperor heard this, he glanced at Princess Jiahe, his eyes a little subtle.
Princess Jiahe said helplessly: "Okay, okay, you are the emperor. You have the final say. If you are naughty, you can be naughty. Anyway, when I leave the palace next year to get married, it will not be so easy for you to dislike me."
The emperor was amused by her: "I sent someone to bring you a new thing. I put it in the yard outside. Go and have a look!"
After hearing this, Princess Jiahe walked out excitedly. As soon as she reached the bead curtain, she thought of Meng Shu again. She quickly turned around and trotted over and took Meng Shu's hand: "Sister Meng, let's go see it together."
Just as Meng Shu was about to agree, the sound of the emperor coughing suddenly came to his ears.
She and Princess Jiahe subconsciously turned back to look at the emperor.
The emperor wanted to wink at Princess Jiahe and let his sister know her better, so he hurried out. He had something to say to Meng Shu, but Meng Shu also looked at him like this, and it was hard for the emperor to speak.
He is the Supreme Being, and his behavior should be upright and aboveboard.
Just forget about winking or anything like that!
"You go out and see by yourself. I have something to say to Meng Shu." The emperor spoke seriously.
Princess Jiahe was stunned when she heard this, and it took a moment to react.
She just said that although the emperor loved her before, in order not to make the queen mother suspicious, he had always given her some good things in private in the past two years. He had never come to give her new gadgets with such a big fanfare as today.
It turned out that what he was looking for was not her at all, but Meng Shu.
"Okay, sister, please leave!" Princess Jiahe quickly let go of Meng Shu's hand and led the maids out without saying a word.
With the emperor's character, of course he would not act recklessly in front of Meng Shu, not to mention that Meng Shu had saved the emperor's life.
The emperor's brother must have something to talk to Meng Shu about, so she won't be an eyesore here.
If it were King Wei's servant, Princess Jiahe would not be able to go out no matter what, and she would have to stay here even if she did.
After a while, only the emperor and Meng Shu were left in the main hall of the huge Yaohua Palace.
"Don't be formal, sit down. When you detoxified me in the past, you didn't care about these red tapes." The emperor smiled.
At that time, how powerful was Meng Shu in his eyes? Brief introduction...
In short, the girl asked him to take off her shirt and expose her upper body for acupuncture. For two months, he never saw the slightest hint of shyness on Meng Shu's face, as if this was a normal thing.
She is very different from ordinary women.
But he is a doctor, upright and upright, without any distracting thoughts in his heart. If he thinks wrongly and speculates that the girl has other intentions, it is his own fault.
But the emperor had never been with a woman for so long. Even if she was trying to detoxify him, he couldn't help but think too much.
Especially these days.
Even though he and the Queen Mother had a private fight, and the court was not peaceful and troubled, he felt very happy when he thought that Meng Shu lived in Yaohua Palace, right in this palace.
Originally, he shouldn't have come over, let alone met Meng Shu alone to avoid gossip, but his impulse still defeated his reason.
"In the past, when I detoxified the emperor, I only regarded you as Mr. Su, a patient who needed detoxification. Now that you are the emperor, the courtesy cannot be broken." Meng Shu said respectfully.
She did not take her seat, but still stood obediently, fulfilling the duties of a court lady without any overstep.
After the emperor saw it, he suddenly felt uncomfortable.
He knew that Meng Shu would never treat him the same way he treated Mr. Su.
If Meng Shu knew what the emperor was thinking, he would probably defend himself.
When the emperor was Mr. Su, I didn't feel any special towards him.
"Are you used to living in the palace?" the emperor asked after being silent for a while.
"If you return to the emperor, it is your honor to be able to accompany the princess in the palace." Meng Shu replied quickly.
The emperor was slightly startled when he heard this.
yes!
Being able to enter the palace is an honor for most people.
What about Meng Shu?
He also heard the implication of her words.
Meng Shu was not used to living in the palace!
Thinking about it, she wanted to be a female general, so she naturally liked the vast world outside instead of the palace, a prison that trapped people.
People have selfish motives.
Ever since the emperor realized that he was paying great attention to Meng Shu, he thought a lot and naturally had other thoughts.
For example... wait until these things in the palace are settled, wait until he takes control of the power, and let Meng Shu stay with him.
But the reality told him that this was just his wishful thinking.
The girl didn't care about him at all, and she didn't want to stay in the palace.
Even though he already knew the answer, the emperor still asked without giving up: "Do you want to leave the palace?"
"Back to the emperor, before entering the palace, I promised the princess that I would stay with the princess for ten days. Now that seven days have passed, I will be able to leave the palace in three days." Meng Shu replied respectfully.
Of course she wanted to leave the palace.
It's not because Princess Jiahe treats her badly. On the contrary, the princess treats her as a distinguished guest. No one in the Yaohua Palace dares to be disrespectful to her at all. She is at home here.
But this is the palace after all, a place where people are bound by nature.
Meng Shuzhi is not here.
"There are still three days..." The emperor nodded lightly: "Before, I concealed my identity and asked you to help detoxify, but I had no choice but to do so. My good health now is all the result of your master and apprentice. I said that I would I promise you a request, no matter what it is, as long as I can do it, I will do what you want."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Meng Shufu thanked him: "Master must have reported it to the Emperor Ming. When the situation stabilizes, I would like to go to Guiyun City to lead troops to fight. Please allow the Emperor's permission."
"Have you thought clearly? My daughter's family wants to gain a foothold on the battlefield and become a female general admired by the world. Compared with men, it is more difficult. You can make other requests, and I can fulfill them." The emperor looked at Meng Shu with a hint of deep meaning in his dark eyes.
Meng Shu was slightly startled, but still nodded: "I have already thought about it. Thank you, Your Majesty, for your permission."
"Okay!" The emperor nodded. He wanted to say something, but he didn't know where to start.
At this moment, Princess Jiahe's excited shout came from outside: "Sister Meng, come quickly..."
"Your Majesty, I have to leave first!" Meng Shuzheng felt uncomfortable and hurriedly left.
