Chapter 383: Ancient Dimension, Cannon Fodder Jin 11, Whose Marriage Was Snatched Away by His Cousin
But she could only bet that His Majesty was not a foolish person. She originally wanted to take the opportunity to ask for the title of "Benevolent Merchant". If her reputation became greater, she would be able to protect herself a little.
But now, the words were in her mouth, but she didn't say them.
On the contrary, Guo Zhen looked up in surprise. This time, His Majesty didn't need to send a note.
At this time, the family was extremely famous in the entire Kyoto. They were rich enough to rival a country, and were also among the top few among the imperial merchants.
Although merchants hold a low status, their wealth is still attractive, and such a large sum of money...
It was not until a small note was thrown into his hand that Guo Zhen came back to his senses.
"In that case, I will help you this time. You can go back now. Tomorrow morning, a palace servant will take you to the palace to see the emperor."
Xiao Jingyuan never showed up from beginning to end. He just hid quietly in the next room, watching everything silently.
Only after Miaomiao left did he slowly push open the door and walk in with steady steps.
The aftereffects of love at first sight were still there, but after a lifetime of experience in keeping a low profile, he could no longer see the trace of his previous gaffe.
When he saw Xiao Jingyuan come in, Guo Zhen immediately saluted and waited for His Majesty's further arrangements.
Xiao Jingyuan first looked at Guo Zhen with a serious expression. He remembered that he already had a fiancée, and the couple later had a deep love for each other.
Moreover, in his previous life, Guo Zhen had always been loyal to him.
Although he knew that he should not doubt him or be jealous, and that everything was done according to his orders, Xiao Jingyuan still subconsciously observed Guo Zhen's posture.
Nothing unusual, very good.
After Guo Zhen bowed respectfully, although he lowered his head, his heart was full of doubts.
I really can't understand what happened to His Majesty. He seems to have changed a little since he woke up from his coma.
She was just observing him silently, even looking at him with a critical look, which made Guo Zhen secretly groan. The pressure was too great and he could hardly bear it.
If Guo Jian knew at this moment why the emperor, whom he respected so much, was looking at him, he would definitely cry out in injustice.
The screen was large and solid, not only was it airtight, but from where he stood, he couldn't even see what was happening on the other side because of the lighting.
And the other person may only be able to see your figure through the color of your clothes.
All he knew was that the head of the family was a woman. Apart from that, he had no idea about her weight, age, or appearance...
After carefully examining Guo Zhen with his sharp eyes, Xiao Jingyuan spoke calmly, asking Guo Zhen not to reveal a single word about what happened today in the near future.
Afterwards, he ordered him to immediately arrange personnel to secretly protect the Shi family.
After Guo Zhen respectfully left and the sound of footsteps disappeared, Xiao Jingyuan raised his hand slightly and snapped his fingers.
In an instant, a black shadow flashed like a ghost, and in the blink of an eye, a man in black knelt on the ground silently.
This man in black was carefully trained by emperors of all dynasties to be a secret guard specifically for protecting the emperor. He only obeyed the emperor's orders and carried out various crucial or extremely secret tasks.
Xiao Jingyuan glanced at the secret guard kneeling on the ground with a serious tone.
"Go and prepare a group of female guards. Make sure they do everything they can to secretly protect the head of the Shi family. Don't be negligent.
And no matter how big or small the matter is, it must be reported daily."
After hearing this, the man in black said "yes" in a low voice without any hesitation, and then disappeared from the spot in an instant just like when he came.
At this moment, the private room was silent and only Xiao Jingyuan was left alone.
He slowly stood up, walked to the place where the little girl had just stood, and stood there quietly.
There seemed to be a faint sweet fragrance lingering in the air. The fragrance was lingering around his nose. A light sniff was like a trace of sweetness seeping into his heart, making him involuntarily indulge in it, as if he was intoxicated and unable to extricate himself.
Xiao Jingyuan knew very well that the girl was already engaged. Although he was deeply in love with her, he could never do anything that was against etiquette.
After all, we still have to find a proper way to cancel this engagement.
Before the engagement is cancelled, all I can do is try my best to control the surging emotions in my heart, follow the norms of etiquette, and strictly control my words and actions.
You must not act on impulse and do things that you shouldn't do, lest gossip ruin her reputation and your image in her heart.
Xiao Jingyuan closed his eyes slightly, took a deep breath, and tried to calm his mind, allowing the greed that was about to burst the dam to return to the cage of reason.
No wonder he never met anyone he liked in his life, and he'd always kept his distance from women. Who would have thought that after his rebirth, he'd fall in love with a girl at first sight? Not to mention, that feeling was like an old house on fire, unstoppable...
Miaomiao had no idea that just by going to the Imperial Household Department she had attracted a hungry wolf.
On the way back, Miaomiao was quite happy and wanted to talk to Baobao, but all she heard was the cold response "in a meeting".
But it doesn’t matter, these cold words do not affect Miaomiao’s happy mood.
It was not until the carriage arrived at Shi's house and she got off the carriage that Miaomiao slapped her forehead as if she was suddenly hit by something.
No wonder she felt something was wrong just now. She was so busy dealing with the problem of her fiancé who sold her butt that she forgot to ask the adult's name.
But then Miaomiao thought, after all, if the other party helped her, it would offend Prince Zhao's Mansion, so it could only be done in secret.
It is natural to be as low-key as possible, so it is understandable that the name was not asked.
Miaomiao secretly told herself that since she had missed the opportunity to ask, she would find a suitable opportunity to thank the other person later.
After all, they are all in the Imperial Household Department and can't run away.
As Miaomiao thought about this, she felt more and more that she was extremely lucky.
But she knew that she had to be cautious about entering the palace and not reveal a single word to anyone.
After all, she was an orphan and was in mourning, so she didn't need to dress up much before meeting the emperor. She just kept it simple.
Because of the hope of entering the palace, Miaomiao's good mood lasted until the evening.
It was not until Miaomiao had finished dinner and Cuihuan came to report that her cousin had returned that Miaomiao's good mood eased a little.
After all, after Cuihuan finished speaking, her ungrateful cousin walked in with a handkerchief in her hand. What difference did it make whether she informed him or not?
"Cousin, you're finally back. Are you okay?"
This look really looks like a weasel paying New Year's greetings to a chicken, with no good intentions...
