The eldest princess is obsessed with rebellion, but there are six male protagonists
Chapter 186 Face to Face
If it was a task assigned by the eldest princess a year ago, Wutong would not ask any questions and would agree on the spot and do it on the same day.
But Wutong is no longer the Wutong of a year ago. She has killed bandits from the northern barbarians, saved the emperor, gone to the south of the Yangtze River, and crossed the Miao border.
And now, she is preparing for the imperial examination, ready to enter the officialdom, a place of power, in an upright manner and with the approval of the civil service group.
She is no longer the little maid in the back house who only knows about love and romance, but Lord Lu who has seen the vastness of the world and the dangers of the world.
Wutong discovered something wrong. There was nothing wrong with going to the country of Wusi to develop a secret line, but the timing of going to Wusi was very wrong.
The county examination will be held at the beginning of next month, and there are only a dozen days left. In the morning, before the eldest princess went out, she came to see them studying, and instructed Shuangye to prepare things for the county examination for them. But when she came back from the palace, she let her go to the country of Wusi.
Going to Wusi is an important but not urgent matter, while developing secret lines is a task that will take several years or even decades. The eldest princess's move is more like getting herself out of the way.
Based on Wutong's understanding of the princess, unless someone was going to die, she would not send him away to do such a thing just before the county examination.
Wutong spoke:
"Your Highness, what happened in the palace? Is it related to me?"
Since Wutong had seen it herself and asked, Su Fengyi decided to tell her, so that she would not be ignorant and make wrong judgments when encountering things.
Su Fengyi replied:
"The emperor wants you to enter the palace. You should go to Wusi country first and hide for a while. When the emperor is no longer interested, come back."
Last year, Su Fengyi also said that the emperor wanted her to enter the palace. At that time, Wutong just thought that His Highness was joking. Later, she never saw the emperor again. But now that the eldest princess brought up the old matter again, Wutong was shocked to realize that this matter was actually true.
Wutong found it unbelievable:
"Why is the emperor like this? There are many beauties in the palace, and it's not necessary for me to be the only one. Why is it so?"
Su Fengyi sighed:
"Maybe it's because you saved him."
Wutong couldn't understand it any more:
"I saved the emperor, but the emperor didn't reward me, and instead forced me to enter the palace?"
Su Fengyi was unable to answer Wutong's question, because this was the fact. The emperor was the kind of person who only cared about his own happiness and did not care whether others were willing or not, or whether others lived or died.
Su Fengyi comforted her:
"Go ahead, get ready, and leave immediately. As for the emperor, I will find a way to delay him for a few days. When you leave, he won't be able to help you even if he wants to. The emperor values his life, and he won't chase you to the country of Wusi without caring about his own safety."
Su Fengyi asked Wutong to escape, but Wutong didn't want to escape. If she escaped, wouldn't she be leaving this mess to His Highness?
The wrath of the emperor, with millions of corpses and blood flowing for thousands of miles, is something she cannot bear. But can His Highness bear it? Should he bear it?
Since the incident was caused by her, she should solve it, and she should bear the consequences whether it is good or bad.
Wutong knelt down and bowed deeply to Su Fengyi, then raised his head, looked directly into Su Fengyi's eyes and said:
"Your Highness, you once taught me that I should not avoid things but face them head-on. Avoiding will only make things worse. I don't want to escape. I want to see the Emperor."
Su Fengyi looked at her for a long time without saying anything. Wutong Ren straightened his back and let the princess look at him.
After a long while, Su Fengyi said carefully:
“Wutong, you may not know the emperor that well. If you go to see him, something might happen that you don’t want.
In the palace, I am not strong enough. There are some things that you cannot stop even if you don't want to, and I cannot stop them either. Do you understand?"
In such a serious occasion, Wutong actually smiled:
"It's just a skin. If he wants it, just give it to him. Besides, he looks so much like Your Highness. If I treat him as Your Highness, he might be willing to do it. I won't suffer any loss."
At this time, she could actually laugh. Su Fengyi was really pissed off by Wutong:
"I'm talking to you about serious matters, what nonsense are you talking about!"
Wutong took a few steps on his knees, knelt down at Su Fengyi's feet, hugged her skirt, and smiled coquettishly:
"Don't be angry, Your Highness. I just told you a joke. Your Highness, I don't want to leave you, nor do I want to go to the Kingdom of Wusi. I want to stay by your side and work for you.
Let me go see the emperor and put an end to this matter. Otherwise, if he continues like this for the rest of his life, I will have to hide for the rest of my life, unable to do anything serious, and wasting my youth in vain. I will really be unwilling to accept that.”
Wutong has a strong personality and never acts like a spoiled brat. But when she suddenly acts like a spoiled brat, Su Fengyi is at a loss as to what to do with her.
The paulownia is a big tree, not a delicate flower. Delicate flowers need care, but big trees always face wind and rain.
Now that she has made up her mind, it is up to her to decide what path to take in the future.
Finally, Su Fengyi said:
"Okay, then tomorrow, you will follow me into the palace to meet the Emperor."
……
As the chief historian of the Princess's Mansion and a fifth-rank official of the imperial court, Wutong also has her own official uniform, which was made for her by the embroiderers in the mansion at Su Fengyi's request according to the requirements of the imperial court.
But Wutong rarely wore it unless there was a formal occasion.
But today, as he was going to the palace to meet the emperor, Wutong put on a full set of official uniform. The uniform was tailor-made for Wutong by the embroiderer, and it fit him perfectly and was very appropriate.
When Su Fengyi saw it, her eyes lit up and she smiled:
"This dress suits you very well, and it has the bearing of a long historian."
Wutong also laughed and said:
"I think so too. All I want in my life is to be able to wear clothes like this forever. I will be satisfied."
Su Fengyi straightened her collar and said with a smile:
"Are you satisfied with a white pheasant? You need a crane. Come on, follow me to meet the emperor."
The two men rode on horseback towards the palace.
The emperor is moody and unpredictable. No one knows what he will do when he meets Wutong today.
But now that things have come to this and the decision has been made, the better to do it sooner rather than later. The two of them did not delay and arrived at the palace early in the morning, so early that the emperor had not even gotten up yet.
Xue Yu was startled when he saw Wutong, but he did not ask any more questions. He said to Su Fengyi:
"Your Highness, Lord Lu, please wait outside the study. I will go and tell the Emperor."
The study in the Qianqing Palace was where the emperor met with external officials. Since Wutong was wearing official uniform, Xue Yu had an idea and deliberately led her to the study instead of the bedroom.
Su Fengyi and Wutong stood outside the study and waited for a while. The emperor came in hurriedly. Perhaps he got up too hastily, his hair was not tied up, his clothes were messy, and there were traces of crimson lipstick on his lips, left by some unknown beauty.
When the emperor saw the real Wutong, he suddenly stopped and stared at her blankly.
He hadn't seen her for a long time, so long that she had become a blurry shadow, but as soon as he saw her, the shadow came alive and became the real her before his eyes.
Even though he was the emperor, he could not get her.
Wutong knelt down and kowtowed, performing the most standard etiquette between monarch and subject to the emperor, and said in the most formal and respectful tone:
"Long live the emperor. I, Lu Qingtong, have been summoned to meet your majesty."
