love each other

Chapter 286 What is the emperor implying?

"Ridiculous!" The emperor slapped the table and said sharply, "It's just too ridiculous. How could Qingluan be so ridiculous that she had a secret relationship with a guard! No wonder she always pushes back and doesn't want to get married! You go and call her here immediately , I want to ask her personally what's going on!"

The old eunuch immediately cupped his hands and exited the imperial study.

Not long after, Beigong Qingluan came and saluted respectfully, "See Father."

"Luan'er."

"Yes, what is the father looking for with his son!"

"I ask you something!"

Beigong Qingluan was slightly taken aback, and thought to herself, could it be because none of the people who made the order came before, and they wanted to rely on her.

However, although he thought so in his heart, he didn't show it on his face, because the emperor rarely talked to her with that serious expression.

"Yes."

Immediately, in the imperial study room, the palace people retreated and the door was closed.

In an instant, only father and daughter were left in the imperial study room.

"I ask you, why do you never want to get married?"

Beigong Qingluan was slightly startled, and said: "Of course I didn't meet the right person, why did my father ask Qingluan like this?"

The emperor's face turned stinky immediately, and he said, "Don't think I don't know, you should tell it yourself, or I will tell it for you."

"Ah?" What do you mean?

The emperor hated that iron could not be made into steel, and said, "Do you think that with your little tricks, you can fool me?"

Beigong Qingluan was even more puzzled, what did she do to fool the emperor?

"Father, my son doesn't know..."

"You still don't admit it."

Beigong Qingluan said helplessly: "But, I really don't know what I did to make my father unhappy!"

The emperor was so angry that his beard flew up, "Okay, if you don't admit it, I will tell you for you, are you secretly in love with the guards around you!"

puff--

If Beigong Qingluan was drinking tea at this time, he would definitely spit it out in one gulp regardless of royal etiquette.

"That... Father Emperor."

"Don't quibble, I won't listen to your sophistry."

"Hmm...Father is right. But..."

"You still want to quibble."

Beigong Qingluan looked at the emperor helplessly, and said, "Father, can you give this son a chance to speak!"

The emperor snorted coldly and said, "Say!!"

Beigong Qingluan said: "Where did the father hear that the minister and the guard are secretly in love?"

The emperor looked ugly and said, "You don't need to know that!"

Beigong Qingluan said with a cold face: "Father, this Dali Temple trial will not convict people without evidence. If the father doesn't say anything, the minister has no chance to explain?"

The emperor immediately relaxed when he heard the words of explanation, "Someone saw it with their own eyes, you and that guard were talking and laughing in the imperial garden."

"So the father judged that there was a secret affair between the minister and the guard?"

The emperor was startled for a moment, "This..."

Beigong Qingluan continued: "Father, no matter how out of line this son is, he won't do anything that insults the dignity of the royal family!"

The emperor was in trouble for a while, "But, Luan'er... your marriage! If you have someone you like, I..."

"..." Beigong Qingluan suddenly had a bad feeling.

The emperor sighed and said, "Let that guard come to see me."

"why?"

The emperor stared, and said: "What? Do I have to get your consent to call a bodyguard?"

Beigong Qingluan frowned, but what you summoned was my bodyguard.

She always had a bad feeling.

However, Beigong Qingluan had to obey the emperor's order. After a while, a handsome young guard appeared in the imperial study.

"See Your Majesty."

"Raise your head and look at me." The emperor gave an order, and with the oppression of the superior, the whole imperial study room became depressed.

Next, the young guard raised his head slightly, looking at the emperor calmly.

Seeing this, the emperor immediately frowned, thinking to himself, no wonder there are such rumors, this guard is too handsome, indeed worthy enough for his Luan'er, but he is just a guard.

The emperor cast a glance at Beigong Qingluan, who was beside him, and said, "Luan'er, you go down first."

Beigong Qingluan was startled, pointed at herself, then looked at Xiao Qiran who was kneeling.

"Father, are you sure you didn't call the wrong person?"

The emperor immediately pursed his lips and said, "That's right, I just let you go down."

Beigong Qingluan immediately frowned. The ministers of the palace were discussing state affairs. She didn't go down, and the concubines in the harem were here, so she didn't go down either. Only this time, the emperor summoned Xiao Qiran, but asked her to go down...

This is too... unbelievable.

"But, father... I'll stand still! What do you say, I don't want to interrupt. If this guard offends father, I can stop it in time!" Beigong Qingluan said.

Although sometimes she finds Xiao Qiran very annoying, but Xiao Qiran is Xiao Muyue's elder brother, and he has always protected her. If she is not around, and Xiao Qiran does something to offend the emperor... that would be bad.

"What? You didn't listen to what I said?"

Beigong Qingluan: "..."

"OK then!"

Beigong Qingluan looked at Xiao Qiran who was kneeling on the ground, and said lightly: "Hey, let me tell you, be careful what you say, otherwise my father will get angry, and this princess will kill you!"

"The princess is going out."

Beigong Qingluan: "..."

When Beigong Qingluan walked out, there were only two people left in the entire imperial study.

The emperor said lightly, "Are you the guard next to Luan'er?"

"Yes!"

"I heard that Luan'er walked very close to you?" The emperor said this, with a hint of danger in his voice, which made people tense up.

Xiao Qiran replied indifferently: "This subordinate is the princess's personal bodyguard, so it's natural to get close!"

The emperor said: "Do you know that it is because Luan'er is close to you that rumors spread."

Xiao Qiran said: "I don't know."

The emperor said again: "Then I will tell you that because Luan'er has taken you as a personal bodyguard, there are often rumors and gossips in the palace. Can you be convicted?"

Xiao Qiran's heart sank slightly, "Your Majesty, Qi Ran just did what a guard should do, and didn't know what the Emperor said."

The emperor raised his eyebrows slightly, and said: "But now Luan'er's reputation has been ruined because of you... Do you know what the consequences of this matter will be?"

Xiao Qiran: "..."

Why didn't he know that Beigong Qingluan's reputation was ruined because of him!

"Your Majesty, I don't know what the rumors are, which ruined the princess' reputation!"

The emperor said: "Say that Luan'er is secretly in love with you."

"The emperor...the princess and the subordinates are not..."

"But, that's what other people see!"

Suddenly, a dark light flashed across Xiao Qiran's eyes, why did he always feel that the emperor was implying something.

"What does the emperor mean?"

"Are you interested in the princess?"

Xiao Qiran's eyes lit up immediately, he cupped his hands and said, "Yes."
