Even if the emperor will just travel from the palace to Xiao Wangfu, he can't be willful. Whenever he goes out, he must be escorted by the imperial army to be make sure his safety.
The imperial army must clear the way ahead of time. However, no matter how efficient they work, they still took half an hour before everything became ready.
"Your majesty, everything is prepared. You can leave." The new commander of the Imperial Army stepped forward trembling legs.
He was not afraid of the emperor, he was afraid of going to the Xiao Palace. News secretly spread in the imperial army. The two previous commanders of the Imperial Army were banned due to Xiao Wangfu.
Now, for the imperial army, going to the Xiao Palace was equivalent to being take off from the official position.
The pressure on the new imperial army commander was great.
*Cough, cough* The emperor coughed, his pale face was flushing abnormally. However, no one dared to look at the emperor's face. And even if they saw how ugly his face was, no dared to speak about it.
To get to the Xiao Wangfu as soon as possible, the emperor kept everything simple. After taking the Imperial Army with him, they traveled directly to Xiao Wangfu.
When the emperor was going to his courtier's mansion, he would send someone in advance to inform the people. Lin Chujiu laughed when she learned that the emperor was coming to Xiao Wangfu.
Although the palace people didn't say anything about it clearly, Lin Chujiu knew very well that the emperor must have come for Hua Jinrong, but… …
Hua Jinrong has already left, the emperor was late.
"Is his majesty coming for Hua Gongzi?" Lin Chujiu asked. The eunuch, who came was still thinking about how he will ask about Hua Jirong. So after hearing Lin Chujiu's question, he quickly nodded his head: "Yes, his majesty heard that Hua Gongzi was in Xiao Wangfu, so he came to see him in person. I wonder if Hua Gongzi had free time this hour?"
"I'm sorry to disappoint his majesty, but Hua Gongzi is gone." Lin Chujiu had no intention to entertain the emperor. Otherwise, she could pretend that she doesn't know anything until the emperor arrived, and let him leave in disappointment…
"What?" The eunuch suddenly raised his voice. His voice was so sharp as if he wanted to pierce people's eardrums. Lin Chujiu hurriedly covered her ears and said: "Gonggong, you don't need to shout. I am not deaf."
However, the eunuch had no time to care about Lin Chujiu, he eagerly asked: "Xiao Wangfei, what do you mean about Hua Gongzi is gone? Did he leave the Xiao Wangfu or the capital?"
The emperor was already on the road. What is the difference between letting the emperor know that he ran out in vain and slapping him on the face?
"Hua Gongzi left Xiao Wangfu half an hour ago. As for whether he left the capital, I don't know." Seeing Hua Jinrong coming and going in a hurry, Lin Chujiu guessed that he must have left the capital by this time. She just doesn't want to publicize it.
"You, why did you let Hua Gongzi go? Don't you know how to ask people to stay?" The eunuch pointed his finger at Lin Chujiu angrily. His finger was trembling, showing how angry he was.
* Pa-* Lin Chujiu grabbed the teacup on the table and smashed it at the eunuch: "The next time you point your finger at me, I will chop off your hand." When the emperor pointed his finger at her, she couldn't say anything. But when a dog does it, how could she just let it go?
"You, you, you…" The eunuch was startled. His face flushed, but he didn't dare to point at Lin Chujiu again.
"What am I? You still don't want to go and report it to the emperor? Do you want the emperor to run in vain and let your head fly off your neck?" Lin Chujiu complained made the eunuch angry, but he didn't dare to stay any longer. He ran out in a hurry.
He can imagine how angry the emperor would be when he heard this news!
The emperor thought he would take a step forward up in the sky but who would expect that he would step to an empty space!
No need to mention about the sense of loss, but now where will the emperor put his face?
The emperor went out of the palace in person, but he didn't see the person. He really lost his face to Xiao Wangfu this time!
Without question, the emperor was so furious that he almost killed people when he heard the news. But what could he do now the people left?
When the Imperial Army asked Lin Chujiu, Lin Chujiu simply replied: "Hua Gongzi wants tp leave, can I stop him?"
Right, it was not something that Lin Chujiu can decide if the eldest young master of the Hua should stay or not.
The emperor was angry inside his heart, but he couldn't do anything about it. He could only turn back halfway but fell ill as soon as he arrived in the palace.
The emperor's illness was good news for Lin Chujiu. Because the emperor fell ill, he has no time to trouble her!
Although Hua Jinrong promised to save Xiao Tianyao's life at a critical moment, Lin Chujiu didn't place all her hopes on him.
Although she was not a businessman, she also knows how dangerous it is to put all the eggs in one basket. Especially if the basket was being carried by others, if he was bumped by others, she can't do anything about it.
Before Su Cha came, Lin Chujiu wrote a letter to Xiao Tianyao. In the letter, Lin Chujiu wrote all the ways she could think of.
After the letter was written, Lin Chujiu carefully closed the envelope and stamped her seal.
Lin Chujiu wrote a confidential letter, so she was thinking about whether to use the box with a "password" that Xiao Tianyao sent last time. But then, she saw Su Cha rushing in like a gust of wind: "Wangfei, is the Hua Family coming here?"
This poor child didn't know that the Hua family had already left.
"Yes, they took the little young master of the Hua family." Lin Chujiu dispelled the idea of looking for boxes.
Although the wooden box was exquisite, it was useless if cut by a knife. The box can only protect itself to ordinary people, but not the people who know martial arts.
"Took? Hua Gongzi also left?" Su Cha put his hand on the desk, leaned forward, and stared at Lin Chujiu with wide eyes.
"Mmm." Lin Chujiu nodded calmly. Su Cha asked nervously: "Wangfei, did you mention the condition we discuss in advance? Did the Hua family agree?"
"No, my condition for the Hua family is to let him save wangye's life at a critical moment." Regarding the conditions for the Hua family, Su Cha and Xiao Tianyao had discussed it before and told Lin Chujiu.
Their condition was that the Hua family will allow Xiao Wangfu's people to come and go freely between the Central Empire and the eastern country.
For the citizen of the eastern country, this was very impossible, but for the Hua family, it is just a matter of opening their mouth.
"AHH…" Hearing this condition, Su Cha didn't know whether he should be disappointed or happy. But now this condition was raised, the Hua Family will not like it if they change it. Su Cha sat down, pondered for a while, and said: "This condition is also quite good. The life of the wangye is more important than anything else."
As for the freedom to come and go, they can think of a solution later.
"I also think that there is nothing more important than the life of wangye. There is no hurry to go to the central empire. As long as wangye live, what else can't he do?" Lin Chujiu didn't mention to Su Cha that her condition was due to her selfishness. Yes, although she never thought of pleasing or climbing the Hua family, she hopes to make a good impression in the Hua family. Even if she can't become friends with them in the Central Empire in the future, they wouldn't find her annoying, right?
Proposing the condition of saving Xiao Tianyao will undoubtedly leave a good impression of affection and justice in Hua Jinrong's heart!
