Chapter 385 (2/2)

”I can't bear to see you wrapped up in a suit,” said Chu Zongge. ”In this way, I really can't be regarded as a Mingjun. Mingjun should take good care of his people, or let his people be wronged.”

General Shen's eyes darkened. ”The emperor really doesn't have to be embarrassed in this matter. The grievances of the people in the Qin Dynasty are not put forward by Xirong, but the iron hooves in Xirong have crushed the rivers and mountains of the state of Qin.”

Chu Zongge narrowed his eyes slightly, and a faint smile appeared on his lips, ”what I want is your words. With a good general like you, what would I be afraid of Xirong? Even if Princess Gu of Xirong came, I can cope with it.”

General Shen was stunned and asked with some hesitation: ”emperor Xirong seems to want Princess Gu to marry the emperor and also want Princess Gu to become the queen. Did the emperor think of any good way?”

Chu Zongge rubbed his eyebrows distractedly, ”I didn't think of anything, but they can only dream. The queen is my only wife in this life, let alone another queen. Even the lady of the imperial concubine can't do it. She can only be regarded as visiting the state of Qin. I will never betray the queen.”

General Shen pursed his lips. ”Did the emperor ever think that there might be only one condition for emperor Xirong, that is to marry Princess Gu and let her become the queen of the state of Qin?”

Chu Zongge smiled coldly, ”even if it's only this condition, I don't comply with it. Why can't I sweep the world without sweeping a house? I can't even guard my wife, let alone the whole state of Qin.”

General Shen was silent for a long time and had to say, ”I would like to follow the emperor's instructions.”

Chu Zongge continued to write unfinished words. A little eunuch came and asked, ”emperor, there is a doctor outside who wants to talk to the emperor about the Queen's condition.”

General Shen said with a smile, ”it must be the resident Liu Yuan. The minister will not disturb the emperor and leave first.”

After Chu Zongge waited for him to leave, he frowned and asked, ”you know the resident Liu Yuan. Why don't you say it's the resident, but the doctor?”

The little eunuch smiled and said, ”the slave knows the resident, but the doctor doesn't know much. He said he is the helper of the resident. The slave doesn't know whether the emperor will let him in?”

”Helper? Did the monk have a helper, or did she pick it up in the street,” Chu Zongge nodded after thinking for a while. ”Let him in. The monk may be unable to come today, so please ask her helper to come.”

After the door opened, a handsome young master in white appeared. Chu Zongge was attracted by his shining clothes under the candlelight. When he turned to his smiling eyes, he had a bad hunch that a man picked up from the street would not have such eyebrows and temperament. This was definitely not casually found by the lay.

Xu Hanfei smiled, gave him a standard salute and said, ”slave Xu Hanfei, knock on the emperor.”

Chu Zongge half narrowed his eyes and looked at him. ”I've never seen you before. Today is the first time to see you. Are you the helper found by the monk? What's the matter with the monk? How did you come here?”

”The monk is not feeling well today. He thought he had eaten something bad, so he let me come over,” Xu Hanfei said with a smile. ”The emperor won't mind if a new servant comes to talk to the emperor?”

Chu Zongge's eyes became deeper and deeper. After staring at him silently for a long time, he made a vague voice in his throat, ”You shouldn't have told me about the Queen's condition. The resident is very cautious in eating and won't eat anything wrong. What's your origin? You live like a childe. The resident is a hermit. You may never have seen it. Most of your experience is not deceived by you, but my eyes can see your origin at once.”

Xu Hanfei's eyes flashed a trace of surprise and soon calmed down. ”The emperor is worthy of being the one who can defeat the king of Jin and the prince, so that the former Emperor has no choice but to let you inherit the throne. The queen and the lay didn't see it. You can understand it at a glance.”

Chu Zongge put his hand behind his back and was ready to take action at any time. ”Who are you? How dare you sneak into the palace in the name of seeing a doctor for the queen? Do you know that any charge can directly kill you.”

Xu Hanfei's eyes were not afraid, but smiled very magnanimously. ”The slave understands the emperor's meaning. This life is in the emperor's hands. The slave has no way out. Does the emperor want to know what the slave came from?”

”You're from Xirong,” Chu Zongge's eyes felt him inside and outside like a pair of invisible hands. ”But it's also a face of people in the state of Qin. If you tell me what trouble you have with Xirong, you don't even need to go to the scaffold. You can plant it in my hands directly.”
