Chapter 168 He likes her
Outside the palace, Wen Xiangzhu stood quietly waiting.
Finally, news came from within the palace walls that Qi Binwei had successfully ascended to the throne and became the new monarch of the Yunli Kingdom.
They won.
Wen Xiangzhu looked at the majestic imperial palace and smiled from the bottom of his heart.
From then on, no one would stop him from doing what he wanted to do after returning to Linyue City.
The palace gate was suddenly opened, the heavy wooden door made a teeth-grinding creaking sound, and a eunuch walked out.
Seeing that only Wen Xiangzhu was standing outside, he walked forward with a smile on his face, bowed his head, and said respectfully: "Is this Wen Xiangzhu, Lord Wen?"
Wen nodded to Zhu.
This was an agreement between him and Qi Binwei. After the matter was accomplished, Qi Binwei would summon him to the palace, give him an official position, and help him clear his name.
If the visitor still called him by his former name, he would not be Qi Binwei's man, but this eunuch did call him Lord Wen, which was correct.
Now, it's time for him to fulfill his promise.
"Lord Wen, please follow me. His Majesty wants to see you now." The eunuch respectfully invited Wen Xiangzhu to enter the palace.
Wen Xiangzhu: "Thank you."
Then he followed the eunuch into the palace.
After Qi Binwei became the new emperor, he still had a lot of things to do, but he could not forget what he had promised to Wen Xiangzhu, and he had to respond as soon as possible. After all, Wen Xiangzhu had helped him a lot.
There is only a relationship of interest between them, which is much easier to deal with than some things.
The first thing Wen Xiangzhu saw after entering the palace was Qi Binwei who was busy in the imperial study. His desk was full of memorials. After Emperor Jing'an became seriously ill, he only read some memorials about urgent matters and did not read any memorials that were not considered major matters.
Now they are all piled together and left for Qi Binwei, the new emperor, to see.
Qi Binwei flipped through the books one by one and quickly came up with a solution. He wrote something on the memorial, put one book away, and then moved on to the next one.
Noticing someone coming in, Qi Binwei didn't even raise his head and asked, "Wen Xiangzhu is here, please sit down."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Soon someone brought a chair over and placed it next to Wen Xiangzhu's legs. Wen Xiangzhu sat down and waited for Qi Binwei to finish his work and speak.
"All of you go away." Qi Binwei said coldly, and drove away all the people who were waiting to serve him in the imperial study.
There were only two of them left in the huge imperial study. Qi Binwei did not stop what he was doing and said slowly, "I will be very busy recently, but don't worry, I will do what I promised you. Since you have helped me, I can make a promise to you now. Tell me, what do you want?"
Wen Xiangzhu remained calm and had no reaction to the gift and promise from the new emperor. What he wanted to do most had already been accomplished.
He must avenge himself, and if you think about it carefully, there is indeed such a person.
Wen Xiangzhu: "Your Majesty, I want a gold medal of immunity from death, which belongs exclusively to my wife Shen Jiayu. Only she can use this gold medal of immunity from death, and it can only be used on herself."
This statement obviously caught Qi Binwei by surprise. He had thought about all kinds of things that Wen Xiangzhu would ask for, but he had not expected that it was for Shen Jiayu, and such a tricky request at that.
The surprise in Qi Binwei's eyes only flashed by, and he agreed immediately, "I will write an imperial edict tomorrow and send it to your courtyard. However, your courtyard is too small, so I will grant you another mansion."
Wen Xiangzhu had no other requests. Since Qi Binwei was willing to give him another mansion, he naturally would not refuse, and he could not refuse.
"I thank your majesty." Wen Xiangzhu stood up and knelt on the ground to thank him, then said, "I have something to say. When my wife is well, I will go to Linyue City. I hope your majesty will let me go back then."
Qi Binwei, who had been busy for most of the day, felt his wrists a little sore. Talking to Wen Xiangzhu and reading the memorials at the same time were too exhausting for him to do two things at once. He stopped what he was doing, looked at Wen Xiangzhu who was kneeling on the ground, and chuckled.
"Get up and talk. You told me about this earlier, and I haven't forgotten it. I won't go back on my promise. I guess your wife can't get out of bed yet."
Wen Xiangzhu's expression changed, and he slowly stood up, but kept his head down, not understanding why Qi Binwei suddenly mentioned Shen Jiayu.
"Yes, I estimate it will take another three to five days before I can get out of bed."
Qi Binwei squinted at him and said, "When your wife is feeling better, let her come into the palace and talk to the queen."
His Chao Yan doesn't know the situation in the palace yet, and now the news is kept from her. If she knew, she would definitely be unhappy.
She is good friends with Shen Jiayu, so she will probably be happier with Shen Jiayu's presence.
"I know."
"Well, there's nothing else. You go down first. I still have a lot of things to do." Qi Binwei glanced at Wen Xiangzhu.
After he became the new emperor, his temperament was completely different from before. He was no longer as timid and cowardly as before. His eyes became sharper and he even had some arrogance of a superior.
Wen Xiangzhu lowered his head and was about to step out of the door when Qi Binwei called him back.
"Sir Wen, I want to ask you a question. Shen Jiayu used to be your subordinate, and you two got married in order to complete your plan smoothly. But now you seem to be interested in her?"
When Qi Binwei asked the last question, his tone rose at the end, out of sheer curiosity.
If it were in the past, Wen Xiangzhu wouldn’t know how to answer.
But now he knew his own feelings, and this was the joy that the traveling doctor had spoken of.
It's just that he was trapped in the book before, unable to break free, unable to see his own heart clearly. He didn't know when he fell in love with Shen Jiayu, maybe it was when she showed a look of compassion for the first time.
Or maybe it was because he thought she was a member of the Kongsang tribe and placed all his hopes on her.
There are so many intersections that I don’t know where to start.
He has more than one woman like this under his command, but she is a special existence. He admits that he often thinks of Shen Jiayu. She is like a mystery. He can't dispel the last layer of fog on her and can't find the real her.
Maybe, it will be the day when great revenge is taken.
He knew everything. Looking at Shen Jiayu falling on him, he thought of what happened back then. He could no longer suppress the emotions in his heart. He didn't want Shen Jiayu to leave him like his family did back then.
Before Qi Binwei asked, he was still a little afraid to admit the feelings in his heart, but when he thought about it carefully, it seemed that this was love.
He finally realized that he had Shen Jiayu in his heart.
He likes her.
"Your Majesty has a keen eye. I really like Shen Jiayu, just like Your Majesty likes the Queen."
Wen Xiangzhu turned around to confirm his answer, and when he met Qi Binwei's eyes, his eyes were full of determination.
Qi Binwei's lips curled slightly, he said nothing, but was thinking in his heart.
That's good. With concern comes weakness...
