After the rebirth, the empress took the tragic script of Meiqiang

Chapter 72 Extra - Qin Baozhu 4

During dinner, I kept paying attention to every word and action of the girl who called herself "He Youwei".

I want to know what kind of girl the young master is so attracted to.

I thought I would be disappointed, sad, and jealous.

not at all.

Even I was surprised.

She knows etiquette, behaves appropriately, is smart and prudent, and acts valiantly. More importantly, for some reason, there is a faint trace of her young master in her words and deeds.

I can't help but think of my favorite story when I was a child and listened to books and songs in a brothel.

"Female Champion".

She is like a female champion who stepped out of a storybook, making people hate her.

After "He Youwei" left, I often thought of her.

In the past, I always felt that as long as I could read, read, and soak in the academy, one day I would have the kind of bookishness I like.

But every time I think about her appearance, I always feel that even if I study for ten years, I still can't learn her words and deeds.

I also asked Shaodong's family about her identity, but Shaodong's family didn't tell me.

"Some things are a blessing not to know." After the young master finished speaking, he took a sip of tea.

When he put down the tea cup, a natural but imperceptible smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

I was heartbroken.

Once upon a time, I saw the same smile on another person's face.

Butterfly's man also showed such a smile when he secretly looked at her.

The kind of love that fills my eyes with admiration and joy when I think of her, and I can't even hide the smile on my lips.

It turns out that Shaodong's family also has such a look.

That kind of smile appeared on his always serious face, like a flash in the pan, clear and dazzling, indescribable.

I suddenly understood something.

There is never a cold person in the world. The so-called cold person is just because the other person is not the person in his heart.

My heart felt like being pricked by a very thin needle, and I felt an indescribable pain. I blurted out and asked: "The young master is so special to her, does it mean he likes her?"

The young master took a sip of tea, raised his eyes and looked at me in disbelief, then smiled hastily and said, "How is that possible?"

He avoided my eyes, as if he had thought of something. The smile on his face quickly turned into panic and confusion, like a weak cover.

The panic on the young master’s face made me realize that he probably didn’t know that He Youwei was a girl.

I hesitated and didn't tell him.

Twice after that, I found that Shaodong was always alone in a daze, and my sixth sense told me that he was thinking about He Youwei.

It is really unimaginable that a rigid and polite person like him would feel if he realized that he fell in love with a man.

I once struggled with whether or not to hint to him that He Youwei was actually a woman.

But finally gave up.

That was a matter between the two of them. I didn't know He Youwei's true identity, so it was better not to interrupt hastily. Besides, I had sworn an oath not to reveal He Youwei's identity as a woman.

——

On February 12, the list was released in Spring, and I followed Qin Yang to see the list.

There isn't a name on the list that I'm familiar with.

I looked carefully several times, and there was no Lin Yuxiu, Guan Shengjie, or He Youwei.

"There must be something fishy this spring! If others don't tell you, this Zhuang Xiaojin can't even memorize historical theory. If he really wins the first prize based on his ability, I will take off his boots and grind his ink!"

Such sounds are endless.

For two consecutive days, people came and went in Wenxin Hall, mostly candidates who failed the exam. They gathered together to discuss countermeasures. Some went to the Ministry of Personnel to petition, and some went to Jingzhao Mansion to submit their petitions.

I paid attention to the people passing by, but I didn't notice He Youwei.

I'm a little worried.

She disguised herself as a man to take the exam, presumably because she had her own considerations. Now that she failed, I wonder if she can't think about it anymore.

When I was worried, He Youwei appeared outside the door of Wenxintang.

She looked a little uneasy.

I comforted her a few words and left her to eat, thinking that there were many failed students in Wenxintang, and being with them might help her resolve her depression.

However, I thought wrong.

It wasn't until she placed the bottle of poison and the jade seal of Zhenguo in front of me that I suddenly realized it.

She came today not to express her feelings, she came to see me.

The first thought that came to my mind was that I was going to die.

The emperor is a woman and I found out. Is it possible to survive?

The second thought was that it was a good thing that she didn't tell her young master that she was a girl.

After a second thought, a third thought came to mind. It turned out that the person Shaodong's family liked was the emperor.

I couldn't help but think of how the young master's family always spoke with great enthusiasm when talking about the emperor recently, praising the emperor for his hard work in governance and his decisiveness after taking charge.

In the past, I always felt that it was the relationship between the young master and his family towards the emperor, but now that I think about it more carefully, I feel that everything is different.

The emperor gave me two choices.

In fact, there is only one choice. She wants me to follow her into the palace and abide by my oath.

I looked at the bottle of poison and remembered that the young master once said that the emperor "has always been benevolent."

The young master is right.

The fact that I am still alive is the best proof.

While I was grateful for the emperor's benevolence, I was also a little anxious and worried for her.

No wonder she was ignored by powerful ministers. She looked like a gentle sheep in a world full of wolves. How could she deal with those bad people?

But soon, I realized that I had made a mistake.

When I saw the emperor stabbing himself with a knife to save me, I was so frightened that I even forgot to breathe.

Because she looked really desperate.

Her eyes were full of determination to die.

Under the bright moonlight, I suddenly remembered what the butterfly said to me that I never understood -

"If one day you meet someone who is willing to risk life and death for you, you will understand."

I suddenly understood what the butterfly was feeling when he said this to me.

An impulsive state of mind that wants to be entrusted with life.

I just didn't expect that for the first time in my life, I would meet someone who would fight for me. He was neither my father or mother, nor my brother, nor even my sweetheart, but a woman, a woman who was at the top of the hierarchy.

Obviously, for her, my death is the best choice and absolute safety.

But she chose to risk her life to save me.

The emperor was angry.

This is the first time I've seen her angry.

Only then did I realize how wrong I was.

This is not the look a sheep should have.

She is only sixteen years old, but people always forget that she is only sixteen years old. She is a woman, but people always forget that she is a woman.

The decisive and decisive royal aura in her can only make people realize that she is an emperor.

I suddenly understood why the young master didn't realize she was a woman.

I also understand why the young master likes her.

Because I like her very much too.
