Glancing at Chu Ying next to her, Ruji understood what I was thinking and calmly reassured, she is mine and nothing you say will be leaked. " I said respectfully: "Your Majesty, you are really powerful.
You can tell at a glance that I have another purpose."
Ruji smiled and said: "It seems that you don't know my temper.
I like to be direct in everything.
You gave me things in a roundabout way, deliberately trying to please me.
Although I like pearls, I don't like your methods. dislike."
I said calmly: "If I didn't use such a method, how could I have successfully met the empress?
In fact, I am also an extremely frank person.
I was just trying to find a suitable opportunity, so I was not allowed to use such a method."
Ruji said meaningfully: "A person who can use such means is definitely not confessing.
If I am not wrong, you do not want to ask me for anything, but you want to use my mouth to ask His Majesty."
I smiled and said, "I really can't hide anything from you."
Ru Ji smiled calmly and said: "It's a pity that I made an oath when I entered the palace that I would never interfere in any of His Majesty's affairs, so as long as it involves His Majesty's affairs, I will not do it for you."
She turned to Chu Ying Said: "Ying'er, I have accepted this pearl and prepared 30,000 gold to send it to Mr.
Lu."
I was slightly startled, but I didn’t expect Ruji to refuse so simply.
She took my pearls and gave me three times the value of gold, which was equivalent to making a fair deal with me, and I didn’t lose anything at this point.
But the opportunities I worked so hard to create were not in vain.
I said respectfully: "Mother, can you give me a chance to speak?"
"You tell me" "I traveled thousands of miles to come to Luoyi this time because I wanted to meet the emperor and demand justice from him."
Ruji sneered and said: "There are countless people who enter Luoyi every day.
If the emperor wants to meet every one of them, wouldn't it mean that there will never be peace?"
I said calmly: "Although there are many people entering Luoyi, not everyone is named Ji."
Ru Ji was slightly startled, her beautiful eyebrows furrowed slightly and she said, "Your surname is Ji."
I nodded.
Ji’s surname was the same as that of Emperor Zhou, and most of the princes had Ji’s surname.
So after hearing this, Ruji’s expression softened slightly.
She probably thought I was a descendant of some down-and-out king and grandson, and said softly: "The Son of Heaven is benevolent and treats the princes of all countries as brothers and sisters. , I have no doubt about the ability of the princes to manage the fiefdoms.
Even if you have any grievances, you can tell them to the princes of your country.
Why do you need to come all the way to Luoyi?"
She paused and then said: "In fact, many things in the countries.
The emperor doesn’t want to interfere.”
I whispered: "If you don't want to, you still can't."
"Unbridled" Ru Ji's beautiful eyebrows stood up, a pair of phoenix eyes revealed a majestic light, and her pretty face turned red instantly.
In fact, she understood better than anyone else that the current Zhou Emperor Ji Gai is just a symbol of sex, reject me It was probably because of my weakness.
What I said obviously offended her scruples, so she was so excited.
I said respectfully: "Although I am just a common man, I also know that a man should do something and not do something when he is established in the world.
Although I know that some words will offend the queen, I still say it and still do it."
Ruji said coldly: "You might lose your head if you say some words.
I advise you not to take such risks."
I quietly observed Ru Ji's beautiful eyes and found that although her tone was tough, her eyes did not reveal any murderous intent, so I felt relieved.
Ruji quickly calmed down and said softly: "Now I am somewhat interested in your affairs.
Let me tell you what kind of justice you want."
I handed a silk handkerchief to Chu Ying, and Chu Ying handed it to Ruji.
Ruji unfolded the silk handkerchief, and on it was a vermilion mark that I printed with Huo Guoquan's seal.

Ru Ji stared at the silk pa for a long time and said: "If I am not mistaken, this should be the power seal belonging to the Huo King family.
As far as I know, this power seal has been stolen by Ji Mu long ago, how could it fall into your hands?"
"She looked at me again and said, "How old are you?
You can't be Ji Mu."
I smiled and said, "Do you understand the justice I want?"
Ruji folded the square silk handkerchief and put it into her sleeves, and said softly: "I have heard some things about Huo State.
The three countries of Qin, Jin and Yan have recently had special envoys come to Luoyi.
It is said that besides Ji Mu, all the people in Huo State have come to Luoyi.
No one is of royal blood with the surname Ji, and Your Majesty does not want to ask about this matter.
The special envoy of the State of Qin has proposed that the land of the Huo State should be divided equally among the three countries
.
"
I was shocked.
I didn't expect that the reality was worse than I imagined.
Since Ji Mu wanted to get the throne of King Huo, why did he know that the envoys from the Three Kingdoms came to Luoyi to split Huo Kingdom, but he didn't take any action?
Ruji said: "The emperor believes that the affairs of the princes belong to the family.
It's nothing more than a rationale.
If the Huo Kingdom no longer has any descendants with the surname Ji, it wouldn't be a bad idea if the three families of Qin, Jin and Yan could manage them separately. " I said calmly: "Huo Guo still has descendants named Ji."
Ru Ji stared at me with her beautiful eyes and said, "Ji Mu, even if the subjects of the Huo Kingdom support him as the king, your Majesty will not agree."
She then blinked her eyes and said, "Is the seal of the Huo Kingdom in your hand?"
" I smiled calmly: "If the power seal is in my hand, will the emperor reconsider Huo Guo's affairs?"
"Who can guess the emperor's thoughts?"
Ru Ji sighed quietly, she stood up and said: "Since I accepted your gift, I will help you inform your majesty about this matter.
As for whether he is willing to see you, I can’t guarantee that either.”
"Thank you, ma'am" "You don't have to thank me.
I always help people based on my preference.
Although you have a little more tricks, you are not annoying yet."
After Ru Ji said that, she took Chu Ying and left through the back door.
Looking at her graceful back, I couldn't help but feel confused.
I originally thought Ru Ji was a snobbish woman who was greedy for enjoyment and simple-minded, but I didn't expect that she was actually clear-minded and very independent.
If Emperor Zhou had a clear mind like her, , I'm afraid Huo Guo's matter will not be easy to handle, and he may not be able to win his trust just by relying on the power seal and the identity certificate.
Although Duanmuni knew that I must have said something extremely important to Ruji, he did not show any curiosity.
After sending Ruji away, he enthusiastically persuaded me to stay in his house for a drink.
I couldn't refuse his warm hospitality, so I had to have lunch with him.
Duanmu Ni was a warm-hearted person with a sharp mind, and his knowledge was not inferior to that of his brother Duanmu Ci.
We got along quite well, and chatted until the afternoon before we left.
Before leaving, I told him my temporary residence so that I could receive news from Ruji through him in time.
To my surprise, as soon as I returned to Leyi Inn, Duanmu Ni chased me and handed me a bronze carved token.
But it was Ru Ji who asked me to go to the palace that night.
Summon me.
I didn't expect her to be so efficient in doing things.
Wu and Duanmuni drank a lot of wine together, and their minds are still a little groggy.
It is too hasty to meet Emperor Zhou in this state.
Duanmu Ni saw my concerns and smiled: "Actually, the emperor is very easy-going.
He likes to travel incognito in Luoyi on weekdays, and he doesn't have any airs about his ministers."

Having said that, I still hurriedly bathed in fragrance and put on a new set of clothes before leaving with Duanmuni.
Boss Lu of Leyi Inn saw that Duanmuni and I had a close friendship, and looked at me with an even more serious look.
Respectfully.
After boarding Duanmuni's carriage, Duanmuni handed me a brocade box in his hand.
I was surprised and said: "What?"
Duanmu Ni smiled and said: "A pair of jade is as expected.
Brother Lu can't go to see the emperor with empty hands."
I hurriedly declined: "How could I want such an expensive gift from Brother Duanmu?"
Duanmu said: "Although I don't know what Brother Lu has to do with the Emperor, I do know the Emperor's temperament."
He whispered: "Although the Emperor has a respected status, he is extremely greedy for money.
If Brother Lu goes empty-handed, no matter what There is a high chance that things will not work out.”
When the words came to such an extent, I had no choice but to accept them and reflect in my heart.
Fortunately, Duanmuzhi was thoughtful and I was in a hurry, so I ignored such an important matter.
Duanmuni sent me to the gate of the palace and whispered: "I am not among those invited.
The palace cannot be entered.
I can only wait here for Brother Lu."
"I appreciate Brother Duanmu's deep affection.
The night is cold and the wind is cold.
You'd better go back early.
I'll find the carriage and horse back later."
Duanmuni smiled and said, "If Brother Lu doesn't let me wait, he will definitely blame me for my lack of etiquette in the future."
I had no choice but to nod my head and walk towards the palace gate alone.
In the dark, I couldn't see the specific scene around me.
I just felt that the palace walls were extremely tall and there were black shadows of buildings everywhere.
Judging from the general outline of the building, This should not be the main entrance of the palace.
Then I thought about it.
With my status, I was lucky enough to be summoned by Emperor Zhou.
How could I be qualified to enter from the main entrance?
After walking across the arch bridge in front, I saw four warriors standing at the head of the bridge.
They said loudly: "Is this Mr.
Ji?
" I responded, took out the bronze token and handed it to them.
After checking it, the leading warrior nodded and said, "Come in with us."
A warrior next to him came over and carefully checked my body, making sure that I didn't carry any weapons, and they just took me into the palace gate
