Chapter 443 A sincere smile
However, Chen Wanming obviously did not buy into what Chen Wanruo said.
"Others may not know, but how could I not know? Isn't it because my elder sister is sitting here that she also has something to say to Master Liu?"
"Hey, kid, you have learned to observe my mind?" Chen Wanruo said with a smile.
This smile is a sincere smile.
For a moment, Chen Wanming was stunned.
"Sister, I haven't seen you smile for a long time." Chen Wanming suddenly said.
As soon as these words were spoken, the Imperial Garden suddenly became quiet.
Even Xiaochun, who was standing next to her, didn't say a word.
"Is it really so obvious, big sister?" Chen Wanruo suddenly asked.
She thought she kept her emotions hidden.
But I never thought that even my younger brother had already noticed it.
"Big sister, didn't you say that if you are unhappy, then you should speak out. Once you speak out, you will feel happy in your heart. So can you tell me now?"
"I know you're not feeling well, and you haven't had a good time recently, but I want to tell you, even if you have nothing left, you still have me, your brother, and I will protect you my whole life."
When saying this, Chen Wanming's eyes were extremely serious.
He actually wanted to say these words to his elder sister a long time ago.
I just never found the opportunity.
It was not until that day when he opened the brocade box and saw the military token inside that he realized how much he owed his elder sister.
It was also at that moment that he realized that even until the moment of her death, his elder sister was still thinking of him.
What about me? What can I do for her?
For a moment, he really couldn't think of anything.
But just now, he seemed to suddenly understand.
It turned out that the eldest sister seemed very strong on the surface, but ever since the prince got into trouble, all her strength collapsed.
She became lonely and more taciturn.
He didn't want his elder sister to become like this. He wanted his elder sister to be like she was on the frontier, being able to be herself.
At this time, Chen Wanruo was stunned. She didn't expect that Chen Wanming would suddenly say such words to her.
After realizing what was happening, Chen Wanruo couldn't hold back any longer and hugged him into her arms.
"It turns out that my Wanming has really grown up and is now able to share her worries."
"Sister, I have grown up a long time ago, but you have always treated Wanming as a child." Chen Wanming said proudly.
While saying this, Chen Wanming raised his right hand and gently patted her back.
"Big sister, if you are tired, just rest on my shoulder for a while. If you want to cry, you can also cry on my shoulder. Just remember that you still have me as your brother."
"Please wait a little longer. When I grow up a little, I can be your strong backer. Then I can protect you, my big sister."
"Okay, okay, big sister is waiting for you to protect me!" Chen Wanruo said softly.
No one knew that, in fact, for a moment just now, her nose felt sore.
She almost cried, but she held it back.
When Liu Shiquan came in, he saw the two siblings hugging each other.
For a moment, he really didn't know whether he should go in or not.
After letting go of Chen Wanming in her arms, Chen Wanruo looked at Liu Shiquan indifferently.
In fact, Chen Wanruo already knew about it when Liu Shiquan first arrived at the Imperial Garden.
"I have seen..."
"No need to be polite. There is no outsider here. Please sit down!" Chen Wanruo said calmly.
Her tone sounded very friendly, but for some reason, there was always a strong aura about her.
This is something that the previous Chen Wanruo did not have.
"Brother Liu, how come you came so quickly?"
Chen Wanming seemed to see Liu Shiquan's embarrassment, so she said with a smile.
"I...I don't want to keep the emperor waiting for a long time, do I?"
"Brother Liu, you misunderstood. In fact, it wasn't my elder sister who was looking for you. It was actually me who was looking for you!"
"Yes, I know. I knew it when I came into the Imperial Garden just now."
Having said that, Liu Shiquan turned his attention to Chen Wanming again and asked:
"What do you want from me?"
"No, I just want to ask Brother Liu, what do you think about the raid on the Shangshu Mansion?"
"Me? My opinion?" After saying this, Liu Shiquan dared to look up at Chen Wanruo beside him.
"Yes, that's right. That's what you think?" Chen Wanming said with a smile.
"Tell me what you think. I also want to hear your opinion!" Chen Wanruo said calmly.
"Then I'll tell you, if there's anything wrong, the Emperor... the Emperor, please don't blame me!"
In fact, even now, he is still not used to calling Chen Wanruo the emperor.
"How could I not know that I am so unreasonable in your eyes? Would you blame you for such a small thing?" Chen Wanruo asked Liu Shiquan with a raised eyebrow.
At this moment, the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, her eyebrows were curved, and her fair skin...
For a moment, Liu Shiquan was really stunned.
He always knew that Chen Wanruo was very beautiful.
I just don't know when it started, but she seemed to be getting further and further away from me.
"Lord Liu?" Chen Wanming on the side shouted again.
This shout finally woke Liu Shiquan up.
Liu Shiquan came back to his senses and shook his head gently before speaking:
"Your Majesty raided the Shangshu Mansion today. In my opinion, there is no problem with this, but I am worried that those who have close contacts with the Shangshu Mansion may have ulterior motives."
"Oh? Then according to Master Liu's opinion..."
"Your Majesty should strike while the iron is hot and confiscate two more houses to serve as a warning to others."
"Oh? Then Lord Liu, whose house do you think I should rob next?"
"Zhang Jianding!" Liu Shiquan said without thinking.
Hearing this, Chen Wanruo immediately raised her eyebrows, obviously looking extremely satisfied.
"Brother Liu, I didn't expect that you and my elder sister have the same idea. My elder sister said the same thing just now."
"Huh? Then..."
"What you mean is, since I already have this idea, why should I ask you?" Chen Wanruo asked Liu Shiquan.
However, Liu Shiquan shook his head and said, "In fact, even if the emperor doesn't tell me, I know the answer."
"Well, you are smart enough to know that my real purpose today is not to drink. I am sitting here waiting for you today just to tell you that I hope you will not forget the oath you made when you took the imperial examination."
