Chapter 399 The Rumors Are All False
Yuan Bao was very nervous all the way, and finally he breathed a sigh of relief after returning to the palace.
In the past, people always said that serving the emperor is like serving a tiger, and his words were not taken seriously, but he never really understood the meaning of this sentence.
However, when good luck suddenly fell on his head, he was trembling with fear, fearing that Her Majesty would suddenly get angry one day and twist his head off with a whip.
Later, through getting along with each other, he found that Her Majesty was not as difficult to serve as rumored, and she would not lose her temper, let alone beat or kill people.
Yuan Bao felt that he was lucky, and gradually he felt at ease.
However, tonight he realized that the phrase "serving the emperor is like serving a tiger" does not mean that His Majesty is a tiger, but that as a person who serves His Majesty closely, he may face emergencies at any time and anywhere. If His Majesty wants to do something on a whim, the people around him have to be nervous and dare not say much.
It's too frustrating.
Chu Qinghuang walked into the imperial study and found that Wen Zhan and Yun Heng had already started working behind the desk. Seeing His Majesty coming, they stood up and saluted.
"You two should sort out the things on hand and go back to rest first." Chu Qinghuang said lightly, "Tonight's business is over."
Wen Zhan was stunned, then bowed: "Yes, I will take my leave."
The selected memorials on the desk were stacked in three rows, with the more urgent ones that needed to be approved immediately put together, and the important but not particularly urgent ones put aside. There were also some memorials for greetings, memorials for impeaching officials, and memorials for His Majesty to select the best candidates, which were placed aside separately, waiting for His Majesty to take time to read them slowly.
After sorting them out and putting them on the imperial desk, Wen Zhan and Yun Heng bowed and took their leave.
When he walked out of the imperial study, Wen Zhan looked up and saw Fu Cang walking quickly.
Fu Cang also saw Wen Zhan.
The air was slightly quiet, and then Fu Cang walked towards the imperial study without saying a word. Wen Zhan turned his head and looked at him, and suddenly understood why His Majesty asked them to go back so early.
But when did Fu Cang come back?
"Master Wen, who is this?" Yun Heng had never seen Fu Cang, so he naturally didn't know him. But when he saw that he didn't even report and stepped directly into the imperial study, he couldn't help but be surprised, "Someone around His Majesty?"
"The one His Majesty loves." Wen Zhan said with a faint smile, "He is very skilled in martial arts, you can't afford to offend him."
Yun Heng was silent. The one Her Majesty loves?
So His Majesty already has a lover?
He nodded slowly, and when they were far away, he said, "Young Master Wen was also a member of His Majesty's palace before."
Wen Zhan's expression was calm: "Yes."
"According to the rules, Young Master Wen and the other four should all have official positions." Yun Heng said, bowing slightly, "I don't mean anything else, I just don't understand. If I'm offended, please forgive me, Young Master Wen."
"It's okay." Wen Zhan waved his hand, not minding at all, "The past things can't be explained in a few words, but there is one thing I can tell you, there is no love between us and His Majesty, His Majesty has never treated us as servants, and has never done anything that exceeds the difference between men and women, so you don't have to think too much about it."
After a pause, he said: "No matter what the rumors outside are, you don't have to pay attention to them. When working with His Majesty, you only need to know what your responsibilities are, watch more, listen more, talk less, do your own job well, and don't get involved in other things."
Yun Heng hummed, and he already knew in his heart that the rumors about the queen before were all false.
It has been almost a year since His Majesty ascended the throne, and it seems that she has not had any intimate behavior with any man... Well, he is not very clear about the previous things, but His Majesty has no one in the harem, and she is devoted to government affairs. The whole court is quite afraid of Her Majesty.
And Her Majesty is very wise, decisive and courageous.
Yun Heng thought of his article and His Majesty's decision to send people to investigate the case, and his heart was slightly relieved. He might be lucky. Although Her Majesty is a woman, she has a broad mind, extraordinary courage, and a kind heart to do things for the people of the world, which makes people admire.
Rumors are indeed not to be believed.
Fu Cang closed the door and saw Yuanbao standing next to Chu Qinghuang. He paused slightly and then saluted respectfully: "See Your Majesty."
Yuanbao raised his eyes slightly, and doubts appeared in his eyes. Who is this person?
He looks pretty good.
"Yuanbao." Chu Qinghuang said, "You go out first."
Yuanbao was silent, and let him go out again?
"Yes."
As he bowed and left, Yuan Bao couldn't help wondering, why is His Majesty so mysterious tonight?
First he was alone with the courtesan of Lanyue Pavilion, and now he is alone with this handsome man, which makes him almost unable to understand His Majesty's thoughts.
Does His Majesty like men or women?
