C354 A blood feud is never to be forgotten

Huangfu Zhuer occasionally peeked her head out of the window, and upon seeing Morong Gan's figure, she anxiously went forward to greet him. She was about to report Lv He's situation, but upon seeing his serious expression, he swallowed his words: "Third Brother, the Emperor has called for you, is there anything wrong?"

Morong Gan calmed his expression, and replied casually: "Nothing, Royal Brother is telling me to go drink."

Huangfu Zhuer understood him, and the more she pretended to be relaxed, the more important the situation would become. She followed him into the house and said, "Third Brother, quickly tell me, what has happened?"

Qi Hong brought water in, twisted the hot handkerchief and wiped Morong Gan's face and hands.

Lv He followed from behind, holding the hot tea in her hands, she glanced at Huangfu Zhuer with the corner of her eyes, feeling a little unsure in her heart, did she complain to the Duke?

In front of the two servant girls, Huangfu Zhuer could not really ask. After Morong Gan wiped his face and sat down, she waved her hand and said to Qi Hong: "Go out, there's no need for you two here."

Lv He was initially a little flustered in her heart, but after hearing her tone, she calmed down and said with a smile, "The servants are out, whoever comes to serve me, has already been instructed by the princess when she left that the servants must serve me well. When she returns, if she finds out that I have lost a single strand of hair, she will definitely cause trouble for the servants."

Huangfu Zhuer s face alternated between red and white. She purposely said "Royal Consort" to slap her face, ridiculing her for being absent, so she wanted to be the one to take the throne.

When Morong Gan heard this, he actually did not get angry, he only gave Lv He a strange look. He clearly knew that these words did not come from Bai Qianfan's mouth, but he understood Lv He's intentions.

Qi Hong was afraid that Lv He would say something shocking and quickly drag her away.

Once they left, Huangfu Zhuer curled her lips: "The lady beside Third Brother is really amazing, he only knows about the maidservants, those who don't would think it's half a master."

There was no need to explain too much in front of him. Just a slight nod would suffice, as Morong Gan was a strict man, he would definitely not allow his servants to be so presumptuous in front of him.

In the end, contrary to her expectations, Morong Gan only smiled faintly. "The two of them have always been on good terms with Princess Hua-Yang. It makes me unhappy to see you stay and see his leave. These words were purposefully said for me to hear, so why do you have to take it so seriously? "

She was a smart person and knew that it would not be beneficial for her to continue pestering this matter. After all, Bai Qianfan had already been sent out, wasn't it?

She was worried about something else, as Morong Gan's expression was just too ugly when he returned. She was sure that the Emperor had not sent for him to drink. She had not dealt much with the Emperor before, but someone knew him well. The Emperor was a conceited, self-abased man, amiable on the surface, and no one knew what he really thought.

She then changed the topic, "Third Brother, don't lie to me. The Emperor has summoned you, so there must be something else.

At this point, Morong Gan could no longer hide it from her. He took a sip of tea and said, "Royal Brother knows that you've returned, and wants me to hand you over."

Huangfu Zhuer exclaimed, her expression suddenly changed: "Then what did Third Brother say?"

"I didn't agree."

"The Emperor will not let this go easily."

"With you by my side, and me controlling the military power of the East Yue, it is only natural for Royal Brother to be afraid. As a Sovereign King, he would naturally think of a little more, so …"

Huangfu Zhuer sat up straight, "So what?"

"That's why I returned the Tiger Tally to him."

"What!" Huangfu Zhuer shouted and suddenly stood up, her face was as white as a piece of paper, "Third Brother gave the Tiger Tally back to the Emperor?"

"Use the Tiger Tally in exchange for your life. Royal Brother has promised me that you can stay here peacefully."

Huangfu Zhuer looked at him in a daze, and only after a long while did she sit down, and muttered: "Third Brother, how could you do this. If I knew beforehand, I definitely wouldn't have let you do this."

Morong Gan comforted her, "Using a military power to exchange for a peaceful life, why not?

"But has Third Brother ever thought about it?" After a short period of absent-mindedness, Huangfu Zhuer became excited, and her bloodied face slowly flushed red. All these years, the Emperor has always feared you, but because of the military power in your hands, he never dared to touch you. Now that the Third Brother has been handed over the military power, the Emperor must no longer be afraid.

"All these years, I've fought for the Royal Brother, pacifying the four seas and making meritorious service for the people. He knows very well that he won't do that."

"The Third Brother thought too simply. The Emperor was born suspicious and cunning. Back then …"

"Enough," Morong Gan's face darkened slightly, "I know you hate him, but how can your Imperial Might be desecrated? Just pretend that I didn't hear what you said earlier, and don't speak of it again in the future."

"Third Brother!" Huangfu Zhuer's eyes were filled with tears, "The matters that happened that year, you didn't doubt it at all?"

"Everything is already in the past, everything is already set in stone. Nothing can change it, there's no need to bring it up again."

"You don't want to talk about it, but I can't do it," Tears finally rolled down Huangfu Zhuer's face, "My entire family consisting of more than three hundred people were killed, do you know what kind of scene that was? Real corpses were everywhere, and blood was flowing like a river … Third Brother, those are Pearl's dearest family, how can I not mention about them? After so many years, there's no reason why I shouldn't kill that dog-emperor. He's too vicious, really too ruthless … " Towards the end, Huangfu Zhuer sobbed silently.

Morong Gan sat without moving, and after a long while, he sighed lightly and walked over to place his arm around her shoulders: "Don't cry, I've said it before, you'll be very safe by my side, you don't have to worry about the matters of Court, every Monarch needs to step over countless corpses to be able to ascend to the throne of the throne in the throne room, through the generations, these kinds of things happen too many to win, Zhu'er, stop thinking about those, and live a peaceful life."

Huangfu Zhuer hugged his waist, buried his head in his chest and cried for a while, then suddenly raised his head, "Third Brother, you love me the most right?"

"Mm, whatever you want, I'll give it to you."

"Help me kill the Emperor! Take revenge for my Huangfu clan!"

Morong Gan pulled away from her hand, took a step back and said in a low voice, "Zhu'er, do you know what you're saying? Just pretend I didn't hear it and don't bring it up again. Otherwise, even I will not be able to protect you. "

Huangfu Zhuer slowly stood up, and with tears in her eyes, she spoke word by word, but her gaze was cold and murderous, "The blood ocean is a deep hatred, Zhu'er will never dare to forget it, even if Third Brother doesn't help me, I can't force her, I will just pretend that Zhu'er never appeared, and bid her farewell!"

As she spoke, she staggered out, but was held back by Morong Gan, "If you leave my place, you will only die."

"Zhu Er is not afraid of death, I'm afraid that she cannot avenge her family." She struggled to leave.

"Pearl, even if I wanted to help you, without military authority, how could I contend against the Emperor?"

Huangfu Zhuer was startled, and immediately calmed down. That's right, without the military power, how could they contend against the Emperor? Fortunately, Morong Gan's tone had relaxed a little. He was only testing him this time, and it was not easy to push him too far. Just in the future, there would be that day.
