Empress: Your Majesty, please respect yourself, I don't want to be promoted

"Huaiyu."

In a daze, the empress quietly walked to Lu Chen's side.

"Are you OK?"

A slightly concerned voice sounded in his ears, and Lu Chen, who was originally loveless in life, suddenly came back to his senses.

He turned his head with a mask of pain on his face, then twitched the corners of his mouth, forcing out a smile that was uglier than crying.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern, I will not die."

fine?

Nima, let you try two consecutive roller coaster-like ups and downs? !

Before, he blatantly stood in line with the Empress, desperately offended the Queen Mother Zhao, suffered a whole body of crimes in the court, and was crushed by Ling Tianfengwei until his whole body seemed to fall apart.

Seeing that he was about to announce that he was dismissed from office and exiled for thousands of miles as the Xuanzhi eunuch, the Holy King of Cangming suddenly descended from the sky. Before he could react, the Queen Mother Zhao fell from power, and the imperial edict of dismissal that he had dreamed of was naturally aborted .

The Xuanzhi eunuch did not wait, but a young Xuanwuwei general who kindly asked him to ask for leave and not go to court came.

The first chance to become a fairy immediately disappeared without any reason, and he was so angry that he lay down for a long time.

Then when the Holy King Cangming showed his ambition to covet the throne, like most people, he really couldn't think of the slightest possibility of the Holy King's failure. There are no weaknesses.

So he stood in line again, determined to support the Empress, with a posture of seeing death as home, in order to offend those in power to death, so that he could be dismissed from office in a logical manner.

In the end... this goddamn holy king is actually a loyal servant of the empress? Is it the biggest reliance for her to regain the supremacy of the kingship?

Gan!

This sudden huge reversal not only caught Li Zheng and the others off guard, but also made Lu Chen feel bewildered.

Then, he quickly realized that the current situation was extremely bad for him.

The empress is no longer that puppet emperor who can be manipulated by others. After overcoming the limit of the power of the Holy King Cangming, she will definitely become the true dragon emperor who controls the world, the supreme being in the world!

And he, whether it was during the period when the Empress Dowager Zhao was in power, or when the Holy King Cangming pretended to be a powerful minister and took power strongly, he stood firmly by the side of the empress who was not favored by anyone.

What is it called?

This is called "exotic goods to live in"!

At a time when everyone despises and ignores the Empress and avoids her, only he is the only one who is loyal to the Empress to the end. He can be called a model of loyal ministers. On the tall empress.

High risk means high reward.

But now, he has bet on all his political investments. If it weren't for the existence of that weird system, he would almost have won.

As long as the empress is a little bit more personal, it is impossible to live up to his love of sacrificing one's life.

Naturally, it is impossible to dismiss his official position casually like the Queen Mother Zhao, but it is very likely that he will be reused, and promotion and fortune are just around the corner.

But there are no ifs in the world.

Getting promoted and making a fortune is nothing like a fart in front of Feisheng Immortal Interface.

And if you want to be promoted, there are only two ways: under the premise of being reasonable, be dismissed from office or die in line of duty.

In other words, the condition of dismissal and resignation, which could have been done casually, became almost exponentially more difficult after he stood on the wrong team twice in a row.

Not to mention being dismissed from office, it is estimated that if you want to keep this official position from the seventh rank, you have to find ways to find a legitimate reason to refuse, otherwise refusing to be promoted without reason will also touch the system restrictions.

If one is not good, it may be promoted by the empress "kindly", and then the system rewards will directly fail, and there will be no guaranteed no-up or down-down rewards.

After figuring out the current situation, Lu Chen wanted to cry but had no tears, and was almost angered by internal injuries.

As for the empress, the culprit who caused all this, and the Holy King Cangming with a smile in his eyes, he is considered to have excellent self-control ability if he can't hold back the scolding, how could he have a good face?

Hearing Lu Chen's obviously emotional words, the Empress froze for a moment.

After reacting, she first thought for a moment, and then she didn't know what to think of, and a flash of understanding quietly flashed in her bright eyes.

"Huaiyu, are you annoyed that I have kept this secret from you so far?"

Hearing this, Lu Chen couldn't help but be moved.

Um? Annoyed?

Angry emperor?

In other words, no matter how magnanimous the superior is, he will gradually lose patience with his subordinates who are favored and proud...

if it is like this……

Thinking of this, Lu Chen's eyes suddenly brightened, and then the Oscar winner was possessed again, and a cold expression gradually appeared on his face.

"I dare not."

Don't dare, doesn't mean you won't.

Jiang Chengwan instantly understood what Lu Chen meant.

"well…"

She sighed helplessly, and then said softly: "I know that Huaiyu is unparalleled in loyalty, and I also know that this action is a bit unkind to Huaiyu, but I have unavoidable difficulties. For the sake of the overall situation, I have to wrong you first. Don't worry." , I will definitely treat you honestly from now on, and will never let down your loyalty..."

As an emperor, he can take the initiative to explain patiently to a courtier, and even have a faint intention to admit his mistakes and restore the relationship, and even make a promise, which is undoubtedly a commendable thing.

However, upon hearing what she said, the corners of Lu Chen's eyes twitched slightly, and his expression was inexplicably unnatural.

God is so loyal!

I beg you, please chop up my so-called loyalty and feed it to the dogs!

Moreover, being honest with each other...in the physical sense, let's forget about the others. I just want to be dismissed from office by you. Is there any use for your so-called sincerity?

Shaking his head, Lu Chen waved his sleeves and turned around in response to the empress's sincere words.

"Your Majesty doesn't need to explain. This humble minister is just an insignificant seventh-rank official, so it's not worthy of His Majesty."

Paused, before the empress could speak, he resisted the pain in his body, stepped forward, staggered towards the direction away from Ziji City, and said without looking back: "Your Majesty and His Royal Highness the Holy King Presumably there are still many follow-up matters to be dealt with, so I will not bother you, and I will leave first."

Hearing this, the empress immediately swallowed back what she wanted to say, and just stood there, watching Lu Chen's wobbly back gradually drifting away under the increasingly intense sunlight.

At this time, Jiang Chengdao suddenly turned his head and winked at the six guards standing beside him.

In just a moment, the six people nodded in tacit understanding, then moved quietly, disappeared in the blink of an eye, turned into a series of black shadows and rushed towards Lu Chen, and finally disappeared around Lu Chen, silently protecting him. This man who is about to become the number one favorite of the dynasty.

After finishing these, Jiang Chengdao walked slowly behind the empress.

"This guy doesn't know how talented he is, but he has a big temper."

The empress didn't speak, and quietly watched Lu Chen leave.

It wasn't until Lu Chen's figure completely disappeared at the corner of the street that she finally looked away.

"That's good, too."

She turned around slowly, took a look at Jiang Chengdao, and then said lightly: "He has a temper, he will be angry for what happened to him, and he will not hide it in front of me, which just shows that he is a person of flesh and blood, not just an existence." The sage and gentleman in the text description."

If Lu Chen was still here, hearing these words, he might die on the spot.

Nima, I dare to lose my temper and play my temper in front of you, the emperor, and you are still not angry?

And feel better this way?

Are you pretending to be shit in your head?

Do you bring your own filter as long as it can catch your eyes, so everything looks good?

Even Jiang Chengdao shrugged subconsciously when he heard the words, noncommittal.
