Concubine Agent: My lord, stop pretending

Chapter 421 Promise, acting as an agent of the government

Ye Jing's gaze followed her, but she didn't dare to look directly into her eyes, always slightly staggering away from her.Her thoughts are more forward than his, and she yearns for freedom more.This place in the imperial palace is a prison, nothing but luxury.

She only wanted to live her own life after the dust settled, but now Yu Tian, ​​how could he accompany her far away?
"Being an empress is every woman's wish, not mine." Su Yan raised his head and looked straight at Ye Jing, "Ye Jing, do you want to be emperor? I want to be honest."

Ye Jing froze suddenly, as if she didn't expect her to ask this question.Does he want to?He didn't want to, since he came to this world, he never wanted to be an emperor, otherwise he wouldn't have pretended to be stupid for so many years.But recently, he has become more and more confused. He feels that his strength is too weak, and he can't even protect her well.

Especially after listening to Shi Bufan's words today, he became a bit more thoughtful.In the future, Yu Zilan will be the emperor of Dust Kingdom, and he will only be a prince. Then what will he have to contend with Yu Zilan?
In this world, imperial power is supreme, without exception.

"Since Yan'er asked, I will tell the truth." Ye Jing calmed down and raised his head to meet Su Yan's gaze, "I never thought about it before, but now, I feel that being an emperor is more tiring and involuntary. Nothing wrong."

"So?" Su Yan's eyes were slightly cold, and there was a smile on his lips.

Ye Jing stood up, walked in front of her, and stared into her eyes more closely: "Yu'er, there is no equality in this world. If you want to live your own life, you must have the capital to decide everything, and imperial power is everything." !"

"Have you agreed to the emperor?" Su Yan's expression was flat, his eyes were like water, and the waves were shining.

"I haven't." Ye Jing shook her head, "Unless you agree, I won't agree to him."

"But you accepted the jade seal."

Ye Jing explained: "I just want him to feel at ease."

Su Yan smiled, looked down at the radiant jade seal, and said softly, "Then agree."

"What did you say?" Ye Jing asked blankly, as if he didn't hear her clearly.

Su Yan picked up the jade seal, looked at the words at the bottom, and said slowly: "Since you are the best candidate, why didn't you agree? You must be worried that I will leave you, don't worry, I will not leave."

"Really?" For some reason, Ye Jing didn't believe her words.He grabbed her shoulder and said, "Look into my eyes and say it again."

Su Yan raised his head, met Shang Yejing's unbelievable star eyes, and smiled slightly: "I'm serious, I won't leave you, no matter if you are an emperor or a beggar, but I have one condition, if you agree, I will Words count.”

"Okay, no matter what your conditions are, no matter how many conditions you have, I will agree!" Ye Jing felt the sincerity in her eyes, and couldn't help being a little excited.

Su Yan suddenly laughed: "My condition is very simple, that is, I must be the only one in your heart and around you, do you understand?"

"Of course I understand!" Ye Jing happily agreed, even if she didn't say anything, he still thought so.Before meeting her, he only wanted to be alone until he grew old, but now, he didn't need it anymore...

Early the next morning, the news that Ye Hao had privately dispatched troops to attack Shenyue spread in the court, and at the same time there was news that Emperor Hui was bedridden.

In the court hall, the courtiers had already discussed these two matters and whispered to each other.

Ye Huan's expression was calm, and he stood with Chu Qingzhou, and the two of them said a sentence from time to time, and the content was also inseparable from these two things.

Shen Lanfeng's solemn face and his repulsive look made those who wanted to come forward to inquire about the news discouraged, and even distanced themselves from him involuntarily.

Ye Hao is the candidate for the heir apparent that Shen Lanfeng fully supports, and now he has secretly dispatched troops and angered the emperor. Who would dare to get close to their Shen family?
But it can't be too obvious, if the emperor has something good or bad, the prince will go one step further, and when the time comes to settle accounts after the autumn, who can bear it?
Several ministers who had no idea came to King Ding's side and asked the emperor's uncle for the latest situation of the emperor.

When King Ding heard the words, he shook his head slightly: "This king only got the news this morning, and entered the palace as soon as he got the news. The emperor has never seen me."

"What should I do? I don't know what happened to His Majesty's dragon body!"

General Xu suddenly answered, "If Your Majesty is sick, I'm afraid I'll have to find someone to supervise the government."

When Ye Huan heard this, his eyes fixed on General Xu.

General Xu glanced at Ye Huan lightly, and then said casually: "I heard that Prince Jing was summoned into the inner palace by the emperor early in the morning, and he must be entrusted with a heavy responsibility."

King Ding said coldly: "General Xu's remarks can be regarded as presumptuously trying to figure out the holy will?"

General Xu was taken aback, and immediately said: "Prince Ding, don't label me at random, the general didn't mean that."

King Ding glanced at him lightly, snorted coldly, looked away, and looked at Ye Huan opposite.The emperor's brother was seriously ill, and his younger brother not only couldn't get the inside information, but even the most basic visit was not allowed.

He wholeheartedly supported Ye Huan, so the emperor's brother gradually alienated him. This time he fell ill, it seemed that Yu Tian was really about to change.

There was a lot of discussion in the court hall, and with the sound of "King Jing has arrived", they stopped talking, moved a few steps away, stood sideways, and greeted Ye Jing.

Ye Jing was dressed in imperial uniform, walking like a dragon and walking like a tiger, her cold gaze swept over everyone, her majestic aura was breathtaking, making people bow their heads involuntarily.

Holding a platter in his hand, Yuan Meng followed Ye Jing up the jade steps steadily.On the holding plate was a brocade box and a scroll of bright yellow imperial edicts.

People with discerning eyes looked at the two people in front of one another, as if they understood something, they looked at each other, each of them had strange thoughts, and they all guessed the content of the imperial decree.

King Ding stepped forward, looked at Yuan Meng, and asked, "Grandpa Yuan, how is your majesty doing?"

Yuan Meng bowed his head to King Ding and said, "Go back to Prince Ding, the imperial doctor has already diagnosed him, and His Majesty is furious. Fortunately, he was treated in time, and now he needs to rest."

The ministers couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they heard this.

King Ding said again: "Duke Yuan, there is no one in the court now, has Your Majesty revealed the person to supervise the country?"

Yuan Meng nodded, looked at Ye Jing with a solemn expression, opened the imperial decree, and read out the content: "Dear dear friends, I have a sudden old illness, I am not in good health, and I am unable to manage politics for the time being. All political affairs are handled by Fifth Prince Ye Huan, with the assistance of various ministers!"

When this statement fell to the ground, the court was in an uproar.Everyone knew that the emperor didn't like the fifth prince, but he just entrusted him with a heavy responsibility at this time. The direction of the wind changed too fast, right?
I thought that Yuan Meng and Ye Jing would appear together, making King Jing act as an agent of the government, but unexpectedly, it turned out to be Ye Huan.
