"I'm sending you. Emperor Xinwu turned out the dragon book case and stretched out his hand with a smile to ask.

Ye Shenming didn't say any more superfluous words, bowed down and raised his hand in salute.

Out of the Assorted Palace, the eunuch Gong E, who was waiting on the left and right, carried lanterns and followed the left and right.

Emperor Xinwu walked in front, Ye Shenming was one step behind, and Zhang Bao was on the side.

After being silent for a long time, when approaching Jinqiao, Emperor Xinwu's originally calm face suddenly appeared with such a complication, and said: "Ye Qing, yesterday the imperial doctor has already diagnosed that Concubine Shu is pregnant with a dragon seed. ”

This sentence stunned Ye Shenming for a while, his mind was ever-changing, and after a while, he said, "Minister, it's rude." ”

Emperor Xinwu said: "Zhi'an doesn't know about this yet, but he will know in two days." There are many clues to the matter of Chayinmen, but Chen Shufei is here, I don't plan to investigate. If only I knew who she was, Zhi'an would definitely understand. But Mo Zuodu's side will definitely not give up and continue to investigate. Out of selfishness, I don't want him to check. As a father, I don't want my children to be without a mother. ”

Ye Shenming was silent for a moment, thinking of his wife's bulging belly, and said in a deep voice: "Minister...... Understood. But the minister is a righteous sword, and the Supreme should not talk to the minister about these things. ”

Emperor Xinwu shook his head and said, "Ye Qing, whether it is for private or official matters, there is an opportunity, you understand. ”

Ye Shenming was stunned, and then said: "The minister understands, the Zuo Governor can indeed start, and if the Zuo Governor is separated, there will be no problem for the concubine to produce the eldest prince." But on the side of the Grand Governor, presumably the Supreme knows that it is impossible for him to let the Governor of Zuo leave, and besides, the minister is the chief official who clearly decides, and when the court is in court, the minister will also make a clear decision. ”

"I know. Emperor Xinwu nodded and said, "It is precisely because you are the Sword of Righteousness that I will say these words to you." Since I asked Zhi'an to set up the Son of Heaven's army, then I must act according to the rules. The left governor did not leave, and the concubine was uneasy. The left governor left, but the governor obstructed. ”

"About Mo Zuodu, all I know so far is a small table, Mr. Xiangru, you, Zhi'an, I, and Liu Cunxiao, the spiny snake, are still in a state of secrecy for the other commanders. However, whether it is out of public intention or selfishness, Zuo Du must go, and that is also his will. But in order to cooperate with him perfectly in the future, it is also my selfishness, Zuo Du will summon Xuanyi's first 'Great Council', you will supervise and command Xuanyi, and the 'Great Council' will definitely be presided over by you, and I hope you can weigh the pros and cons. ”

Ye Shenming was silent for a moment and said, "The minister understands. ”

Emperor Xinwu nodded slightly, and after sending him across the golden bridge, he turned and left.

Ye Shenming walked out of the palace gate, looked at the vast night, and after a long time, he sighed long: "Righteousness, fairness, and ...... judgment"

He shook his head, feeling very lonely, very complicated, and too tired. Then I thought of the home I hadn't been back to for a long time, and I hadn't seen the wife of the 'Hedong Lion' who was pregnant with a child for a long time, smiled, got on the horse, and went straight to the small home.

……

In the palace, Emperor Xinwu, who turned back, slowly walked towards the Jiaofang Hall where the queen lived, and Zhang Bao and a group of palace people followed him closely.

Just when he arrived in the harem, a palace maid suddenly appeared, bowed slightly to Emperor Xinwu, and said, "Supreme Wan'an."

Xinwu's brows couldn't help frowning, he naturally recognized this palace maid, the female official beside Concubine Shu. I also guessed the purpose of this female official waiting here, her expression was quite displeased, and she said in an indifferent tone: "Concubine Shu has been a little arrogant recently, thinking that she is pregnant, I don't care." ”

After saying this, Emperor Xinwu ignored the female official and walked straight forward.

The female official hurriedly said: "Supreme Master, Niangniang just misses you a little......"

Emperor Xinwu's footsteps stopped slightly, and the female official couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief when she saw the emperor stop, and said that Niangniang was really still so favored. However, the next moment, Emperor Xinwu's words scared her soul.

"Companion, cane. ”

Like a breeze, words without any emotion came out of Emperor Xinwu's mouth, which seemed to be a matter of course.

"No. ”

Zhang Bao responded, then glanced at the two little eunuchs who were accompanying him, then ignored it and followed Emperor Xinwu who continued to move forward.

After the female officer reacted, she quickly knelt on the ground and begged bitterly: "The Supreme forgives your life, the Supreme forgives ......."

Xu is voice was a little loud, and one of the little eunuchs was worried about disturbing the other nobles in the palace, or afraid that the Supreme would be bored, so with a slap of the fierce wind, he threw it on the female official's mouth fiercely, and directly hit her words back.

The beautiful female officer's mouth was covered with blood, her teeth were shattered by the cruel slap, and she was held down by two eunuchs in the miserable choking sound of whining.

Killing a female official with a cane is a very small matter for the Supreme of the World, who is not in a good mood at this time. He doesn't care if a female officer whose name is good or bad, vicious or kind. He was just very dissatisfied with Chen Shufei's behavior, and he only used the death of the female official to tell Chen Shufei his dissatisfaction, which was enough.

The place where the queen of the main palace lives was originally called Kunning Palace. But because of Emperor Xinwu's strong hatred for the concubine surnamed Dong, it was inevitable that he felt extremely disgusted for the place where Concubine Dong once lived. On the first day of his ascension to the throne, he ordered the Kunning Palace to be completely demolished. Then a new palace was built on the original of Kunning Palace, imitating the Han system, and named Jiaofang Palace.

At this time, the palace people in the Jiaofang Hall had already received the news that the Supreme was coming, and they were busy up and down. Because the news came so suddenly, and because the Supreme had not been here for a long time, their preparations seemed a little hasty and chaotic.

The queen's surname is Zhao, named Zhao Ming, the daughter of Huaihou Zhao Dezheng, virtuous, dignified, and virtuous, with the appearance of a mother's grace in the world. When Xinwu was an adult, Emperor Jinghe personally chose the crown princess for him.

Because this woman is too dignified, she looks a little boring and wooden in her elegance, so that Emperor Xinwu, who was originally very out of character, although he can't say that he doesn't like her, he is inevitably a little alienated. In the past few years of marriage, there has been little contact, so that the main palace has not appeared for many years.

Now hearing the news that the Supreme is coming, the dignified and elegant face of Empress Zhao is full of tension and ripples. Although she was very calm, she was obviously a little at a loss, she was supposed to be quietly waiting for Xinwu to arrive, but at this time, she began to point fingers at the busy palace people, in order to hide the throbbing in her heart.

After a while, listening to the arrival of the Supreme Lady by the female official, the Empress Zhao of the Zhao family, who commanded the palace people, trembled violently, and then quickly calmed down, and turned around to go out to greet her.

As soon as Empress Zhao came out, she saw Emperor Xinwu standing outside the hall with his hands behind his back and looking up at the bright moon in the sky. Empress Zhao took a deep breath, stepped forward, and bowed: "Supreme Wan'an." ”

Emperor Xinwu turned around, looked at her, smiled, and said with a gentle face: "Zitong." ”

As he spoke, he walked over and helped her up, took her hand, and said, "Let's go with me." ”

Empress Zhao got up, frowned slightly, was a little puzzled and worried, and said, "The night is deep, the Supreme Dragon Body is important, it should be rested." ”

Emperor Xinwu shook his head, didn't say anything, took her hand, and walked under the faint palace corridor in the moonlight. waved his hand, telling the palace people not to follow.

The bright moon is gradually falling in the west, and the night breeze is as cool as water. The emperor and the dignified and beautiful queen who gradually became stable were silent, walking under the corridor of the Jiaofang Palace, silent, but very natural.

After a long time, Emperor Xinwu sighed slightly: "It's the Mid-Autumn Festival." ”

The young emperor's sigh was full of vicissitudes and helplessness that were completely incompatible with his age.

"Yes, it's Mid-Autumn Festival. Queen Zhao Ming also sighed, and then smiled: "On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the Supreme can come tonight, and the concubine is very grateful." ”

is grateful, naturally because the emperor, who has always been estranged from her, now treats her as a real wife and family. Gratitude is very sincere, and there is no resentment.

Emperor Xinwu smiled and held her hand tighter.

"Actually, the Supreme Master should go to Concubine Shu's sister's side, after all, Concubine Shu is pregnant with a dragon son, and she needs the Supreme even more. Zhao Ming said: "On the concubine's side, it's good for the Supreme to come and take a look, and the concubine knows that the Supreme has a concubine in her heart, so she is content." ”

Emperor Xinwu shook his head and didn't answer her words, but said: "I am young and ignorant, I have snubbed Zitong over the years, and I hope Zitong will not be surprised." ”

Hearing such words, Zhao Ming suddenly felt that her nose was very sore, but she couldn't hold back her tears, just shook her head and didn't speak.

"I'm young, not sensible, and I can't hold back my temperament, so I've inevitably been a little frivolous over the years. Emperor Xinwu's voice was a little cold in the night wind: "I like those women with lively hearts, so Zitong, you are a little unpleasant." My father chose you as my main palace, and I originally complained a lot, but now it seems that I have to admire my father's vision, you should have been born to be the master of my harem. ”

"First Emperor......" Hearing Xinwu talk about Jinghe, the queen's eyes looked a little dim, that His Majesty Renzong was really excellent, amiable, and a benevolent elder. That year, he was sick and bedridden, and often beckoned himself to come over to speak, always saying, the prince is young, his heart is uncertain, you are a sensible child, follow him, he will always grow up.

Such words are really like the words of an ordinary father-in-law to his daughter-in-law, without any coldness of the emperor's family, but it makes people's hearts warm.

"Father, he's gone. Emperor Xinwu sighed, this night, he sighed too many times, and every sigh was full of powerlessness.

He was probably a little tired, stopped, took Empress Zhao's hand, and sat on the railing of the palace corridor together: "Zitong, the chair on the Jinluan Hall is really heavy and heavy. I sat on it, but he overwhelmed me, but it was my responsibility, and I had no right to throw it aside. ”
