Chapter 440: Prime Minister Tiansheng
In this case, Zhuang Mingyue not only did not show any impatience or ecstasy, but still maintained an extremely indifferent appearance like an unrelated person.
The man who had finished talking about what he had come to ask for this time, seeing that he had already told the matter but had not received any response for a long time, could not help but ask again.
"Princess Yuan, Your Majesty entrusts this matter to his subordinates, hoping that Princess Yuan can return to the court. I think it is also His Majesty's trust in the girl, so I hope the girl can think twice. ”
Regarding the words suddenly spoken by the strange man in front of her, Zhuang Mingyue didn't know how to reply for a while.
As for whether Emperor Tiansheng still trusted her, she had already known in her heart a long time ago. So now, when Zhuang Mingyue heard this man say the word trust, there was actually a hint of ridicule in his heart.
But in the face of this person sent by Emperor Tiansheng, he couldn't show this mockery on his face, and Zhuang Mingyue, who knew this in his heart, still restrained his expression.
After a while, she returned to the strange man, but she did not directly respond to whether she was willing to return to the court, or refused the request.
Instead, he shifted the topic to this strange man, "Now that I'm not a princess, you don't have to call me that anymore." Speaking of which, I wonder what the identity of this adult is? I also know some people above the court. It's just this...... It seems that I have never met before, and I look a little scared? ”
Although Zhuang Mingyue knew that the person in front of him was sent by Emperor Tiansheng, after all, in the end, the person standing in front of him might not really be Emperor Tiansheng's person.
Out of the vigilance in her heart, Zhuang Mingyue still planned to find out the identity and details of the other party first.
The strange man who was questioned was stunned for a moment.
But it was only for a moment, and then the strange man reacted, acquiescing that Zhuang Mingyue did not answer, but shifted the topic to him.
"It's a passover." The strange man who said this bent slightly at Zhuang Mingyue, and then spoke again: "Your Majesty has to be secretly guarded, when Princess Yuan traveled before, His Majesty once sent to protect the princess in secret. ”
"You once received orders from His Majesty and secretly protected me?" Although Zhuang Mingyue knew about the secret guards sent by Emperor Tiansheng to protect her and use it for her.
But the strange man in front of her who didn't hide her face, she really never remembered whether she was really secretly protected by him.
Seeing that Zhuang Mingyue's eyes were obviously a little scrupulous, the dark guard also understood that in the past, when he traveled as a secret guard, he had to cover up his identity and appearance, so as not to be discovered by others.
Now Zhuang Mingyue can't recognize him for a while, which is not a strange thing.
And during the time when he and other secret guards protected Zhuang Mingyue behind her, he also learned more or less about Zhuang Mingyue's character in the world, so now when he hears these words and is suspected of identity, he really doesn't feel that there is anything wrong.
On the contrary, he kept his face neither humble nor arrogant, and continued to answer with a light expression on his face: "This is indeed the case, just because he is a secret guard, he naturally protects the princess secretly, and he can't show his face." ”
Hearing this, Zhuang Mingyue pondered for a moment, "But when you traveled to deal with the Holy Fire Sect some time ago?" ”
"It's not the time to deal with the Holy Fire Sect, I think it should be that His Majesty sent other secret guards to help." The secret guard shook his head lightly, "It was a month ago when the princess went south, and His Majesty knew that you were for the affairs of the palace, so he sent another secret guard to follow the two of us. ”
"Oh, that's it, then I still have an impression." Zhuang Mingyue, who said this, couldn't help but smile a little after confirming some things.
In fact, there was no such thing as the one she led to destroy the Holy Fire Cult's headquarters, and besides that, she didn't even personally participate in the Holy Fire Cult's affairs.
She deliberately made this incident just to confuse the public.
If the man in front of him was not really the person sent by Emperor Tiansheng, then he would definitely not know if Emperor Tiansheng really sent her to destroy the Holy Fire Sect.
After all, during that time, she could be said to have received the favor of Emperor Tiansheng, not only was she a celebrity around Emperor Tiansheng, but she was also jealous because of the trust that others could not get far away.
Therefore, regarding the Holy Fire Cult, she did participate, but she did not participate in the destruction of this operation.
And now after saying these tentative words, seeing that the dark guard not only did not take advantage of the situation to directly respond to this operation, but also said about another operation.
Zhuang Mingyue faced the true identity of this secret guard in her heart, and she trusted it again.
After saying these words, the vigilance in Zhuang Mingyue's eyes also faded, "It seems that I guessed wrong, but speaking of which, I should really thank you two for your secret protection in that action." ”
As secret guards, as long as Emperor Tiansheng gives an order, no matter what it is, they must carry it out.
So for so long, if you don't want to hear a heartfelt thank you, it's good to be able to not be looked down upon by others.
The dark guard, who was slightly stunned for a moment, nodded lightly, "The princess doesn't have to thank you with you, this is what should be done in the next place." ”
Seeing the appearance of the dark guard, Zhuang Mingyue didn't say anything more, just nodded lightly.
The dark guard also understood that the words just now might be Zhuang Mingyue's temptation. After responding, I thought that Zhuang Mingyue would ask a few more questions out of safety considerations, so she didn't take the initiative to mention the matter of returning to the dynasty as an official, but just remained silent.
And after Zhuang Mingyue confirmed this matter again, she knew in her heart that this person was indeed sent by Emperor Tiansheng to spread the word, so she didn't plan to test anything more.
But he really didn't intend to accept the matter of returning to the dynasty as an official, let alone take the initiative to mention it, so he didn't continue to speak out for a while.
The two of them had a tacit understanding and chose to remain silent at the same time
, which made the atmosphere that was still a little tense, suddenly become extremely quiet.
In this quiet atmosphere, the general secret guard, who seemed to have never noticed it, raised his eyes and looked at Zhuang Mingyue in front of him, and then said again: "Princess, my subordinates came today to convey His Majesty's holy will to you, and Your Majesty hopes that you can return to the court, Princess, and become a courtier of Tiansheng again." ”
Zhuang Mingyue, who had already refused once in front of Emperor Tiansheng, really didn't plan to return to the court and experience those unpleasant things that made her unhappy.
"I already know about this matter, I think you should know that since you are Your Majesty's personal guard, Your Majesty has already mentioned this matter to me, and I have already chosen to refuse at that time."
When he said this, it was already an extremely obvious refusal.
But the secret guard who heard this did not respond directly to Zhuang Mingyue, but continued to tell the words of Emperor Tiansheng, "Your Majesty wants to invite the princess to return to the dynasty and serve as the prime minister of Tiansheng." ”
"I've already said something very ......" Zhuang Mingyue, who had just spoken out loud, had not finished saying this before she could finish her words, and suddenly heard these words, and suddenly looked stunned, "Prime Minister Tiansheng? ”
"Yes, Your Majesty wants the princess to take the position of prime minister." The nodding guard repeated his response.
When Zhuang Mingyue was still a celebrity next to Emperor Tiansheng, the official position on his body was already something that many people couldn't forget, and he was jealous of many people.
But now, under such circumstances, she never thought that Emperor Tiansheng actually planned to make her the prime minister of Tiansheng.
Even the situation of the Sheng Dynasty today is not very ideal. But when a woman like her as a civilian was allowed to sit in the position of a high-ranking official, she had already suffered all the gossip.
Especially at the beginning, there will be people who come to her trouble from time to time.
It's just that she was helpless at that time, so she could only go back to the past directly, and even sometimes because of the other party's excessive words and deeds, she could not directly reply so that the other party could not have any momentum to parry.
It was in this situation that Emperor Tiansheng was indeed given a beating by many people because of her breaking the rules five or three times, and it really upset him for a long time during that time.
But what he really didn't expect was that in the end, Zhuang Mingyue actually planned to let her sit in the position of Tiansheng Prime Minister from the Tiansheng Emperor who no longer trusted her.
You must know that the position of prime minister can really be said to be a position above 10,000 people under one person.
The person who sits in this position, not to mention how big the ability should be, is the person who can make Emperor Tiansheng plan like this, is already different.
It's just that Zhuang Mingyue, who no longer plans to re-enter the court as an official, was indeed very surprised after hearing that she wanted to make her the prime minister.
But after reacting later, Zhuang Mingyue didn't show too much expression. It's just that he still maintains that shallow smile, "This time I really thank Your Majesty for your favor to Mingyue, but now my mind is really no longer above this, and I really don't want to bear those gossips from the outside world in the future." ”
