Chapter 41 Entering the Palace
Qin Baozhu looked at Ye Qinghuai, even his eyes seemed to freeze, and the air seemed to stop flowing.

Then, she looked away, forced a smile, and said, "Why did your parents give you such a name? The name of the emperor should be taboo."

Ye Qinghuai knew that she was looking for a step down for her, and asked her to take back what she said earlier.

But she didn't think about turning back.

Ye Qinghuai took out a palm-sized seal from her bosom, and on the crystal clear white marble was engraved a glass dragon with a flying spirit, which looked down on Kyushu.There are several horizontal and vertical grooves on the side of the seal, and the red mud used for stamping remains in the grooves, which is as bright as blood.

It is the jade seal of Dajing.

Ye Qinghuai solemnly placed the jade seal on the side of the stove, then looked at the shocked Qin Baozhu, and said, "Miss Qin, let me repeat that I am the seventh emperor of Dajing, Ye Qinghuai."

Qin Baozhu looked at her, and then at the jade seal. The expression on her face changed from shock to fear, and then to worry. She looked back at Ye Qinghuai, and shook her head slightly in disbelief.

"I will give you two choices now." Ye Qinghuai stared at her sternly, and said, "One, enter the palace with me, be my personal maid, and keep the oath you once made in front of me. My identity is kept secret."

After finishing speaking, she took out the vial containing the poison from her cuff and placed it next to Yuxi.

"Secondly, drink this." She raised her head and glanced at Qin Baozhu, as if she couldn't bear to look at her big bright eyes, then turned her eyes away and said, "I promise, you won't have any pain."

Qin Baozhu looked at the jade seal and poison placed side by side by the stove, and suddenly smiled and said, "It seems that there is no choice."

She smiled at Ye Qinghuai and said, "Can a girl ask His Majesty a question?"

"You said."

"Why didn't Your Majesty just kill the Minnv?"

Ye Qinghuai was taken aback for a moment, she had thought of many questions.Perhaps Qin Baozhu would ask her why she came to Wenxintang in a humble service, why she pretended to be a candidate for the exam in Beijing, and she would even ask her why she was a woman.

But he didn't expect Qin Baozhu to ask such a question so calmly.

So she asked back: "Then why does Miss Qin trust the emperor so much?"

"Because there is no other way." Qin Baozhu blurted out, after learning that Ye Qinghuai was the emperor, she did not show the awe and timidity of ordinary people, she did not even kneel down, and even spoke bluntly.

"Your Majesty doesn't know that it's not easy for ordinary people like us to make ends meet. We can only suffer if our property is invaded, we have nowhere to appeal if we have grievances, and we can only rely on our lives to persevere when we encounter a famine. The official If we don’t make decisions for us, God doesn’t care about our life or death. We can only trust His Majesty, and believe that His Majesty will take pity on our people. Otherwise, life is too hopeless. If His Majesty can’t believe it, who else can we trust?” Said After that, she looked at Ye Qinghuai and smiled, and said, "The daughter of the people did not believe His Majesty wrongly. Didn't she?"

I see.Ye Qing said heartily.What Qin Baozhu said was probably what all the students were thinking.When dark clouds cover the sun, people prefer to believe that the sun is only blocked by stratus clouds, and one day it will poke its head out from behind the thick dark clouds.

Ye Qinghuai said to Qin Baozhu: "I don't kill you because I don't want to disappoint your trust in me. So I am willing to bet that you will not disappoint my trust."

Qin Baozhu restrained the smile on his face, knelt down on the ground, performed a not-so-standard kneeling salute, bowed his head on the ground, and said: "The women of the people will definitely live up to Your Majesty's trust."

Ye Qinghuai squatted down, supported her arm and made her look up at her.

"Bao Zhu, the secret you hold in your hands is not only capable of destroying me, but also enough to destroy the entire scene. I have handed over my family, life and all the inheritance left by my ancestors to you. Do you understand?" Ye Qinghuai said in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty..." Qin Baozhu's expression moved.

"Okay, get up. Leave a letter to tell Qin Yang not to worry about you. Come with me."

Spring is cold, especially at night.

Li Baoquan stood under the archway of Xiuzhengfang for half an hour, but he still didn't wait for Ye Qinghuai.Seeing that it was getting late, he couldn't help becoming anxious, and paced back and forth under the archway.

There was no one in Xiuzheng Fang today, he looked at the passers-by one by one, thinking in his heart, could it be that he missed it with the emperor?

It wasn't until it was half dark that shopkeepers began to put up lanterns on the side of the road that Li Baoquan saw two figures walking towards him from a distance.

The one in charge was tall, thin, and imposing, and Li Baoquan could tell at a glance that he was his master.

But why is there a woman behind the emperor?
Li Baoquan greeted Ye Qinghuai in a daze, saluted Ye Qinghuai, and said, "Master."

Ye Qinghuai nodded, and introduced Qin Baozhu to him: "This is Miss Chen Lan. I like it very much. Take it back to the palace to be my personal maid."

Chen Lan was a pseudonym Qin Baozhu temporarily gave himself.

Li Baoquan was obviously quite surprised. He sized Qin Baozhu up and didn't know what to say for a while.

"Chen Lan has met Director Li." Qin Baozhu had heard Ye Qinghuai mention Li Baoquan on the way, and saluted him.

Li Baoquan also came back to his senses, and said: "Miss, you are polite. This old slave is just a slave, you can just call me Eunuch Li in the palace."

"Yes. Chen Lan remembers."

Li Baoquan smiled kindly at her and thought, she seems to be a sensible girl.

It's just that since Ye Qinghuai ascended the throne, Li Baoquan has been by his side to serve him. This is the first time Li Baoquan has seen a woman other than Aunt Fanghua by Ye Qinghuai's side.

Can't help but make him curious.

Many people inside and outside the palace have asked him what kind of woman the new emperor likes.He smiled and didn't answer.

Because he doesn't know either.

Sometimes he is also curious about what kind of woman the little emperor likes.Even when rumors were raging in the palace, he also thought that the little emperor might really like older women like Aunt Fanghua.

But looking at this girl Chen Lan now, Li Baoquan couldn't see any similarities between her and Aunt Fanghua.

Aunt Fanghua is gentle and respectful, she doesn't talk much in front of others, she is loyal to her master from the bottom of her heart, and she doesn't allow others to say anything wrong.When Empress Dowager Jingmin was still Concubine He Shu, Aunt Fanghua was a well-known loyal servant in the harem.Later, Empress Dowager Jingmin passed away, and she followed Ye Qinghuai.It is said that once when Ye Qinghuai was in class in Wenxuan Hall, Aunt Fanghua was accompanying her, and met the emperor Lu Yanchen sternly lectured Ye Qinghuai, Aunt Fanghua argued with Lu Yanchen regardless of her status, He protected his master, but contradicted the emperor's teacher who was in the third place. Afterwards, he was fined to kneel all night, and was ordered by Ye Qinghuai not to accompany him during lectures.

But the girl in front of her is not known if she is loyal or not, but it looks like she is not gentle and unspoken.

Li Baoquan couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.
