It is extremely rude for a waiter to speak to the Queen Mother like this.

Empress Dowager Liu was not angry, but smiled kindly: "You asked me to retire from the palace, just to ask such a sentence? Yes, over the years, you have advanced and retreated with my mother and son, and your feelings are different from others, since you asked, I will make it clear, what I want to do, just as you think. ”

Li Quan's face turned pale, and he knelt down and said: "Queen Mother, you have already worked hard and become the supreme in the world, and you will ...... in the future And so it will be. Why do you do this? Where do you put the emperor in this way?"

Empress Dowager Liu sneered: "The supreme in the world? That's because my son is the emperor, and once the emperor goes in the future, who will pay attention to the old woman of the mourning family." At that time, I didn't know who the mourning family would fall into to beg for the scraps. I've had enough of the days I'm going to count on others. You know better than anyone how I got here. Father and husband, all of them are reliable, and now my son can't be relied on, I have no choice, I can only rely on myself from now on. ”

Li Quan sighed. He is also a confidant of the Queen Mother, and he also understands what the Queen Mother is thinking and worrying.

The first emperor really worked hard for the An dynasty, and the queen mother was also capable, and she controlled the government and the opposition for many years, but she still couldn't get out of the bureau laid by the first emperor.

Before Empress Dowager Liu finished speaking, her eyes were moist, she wiped her eye sockets lightly, and sighed for a long time: "I have made up my mind, you don't have to say more." On the emperor's side, you put more effort into making him happy. ”

Li Quan still didn't give up, and persuaded: "The paper can't contain the fire, since the mother is worried about the emperor, it's not too late to stop now." It's still the old saying, no matter who becomes the emperor, he doesn't dare to disrespect you. Otherwise, once you fail, you will be a sinner from the An Dynasty. Mother, it's still too late to rein in the precipice. ”

Empress Dowager Liu sneered: "What are you, you are also worthy of persuading me." If it weren't for the situation that day, with what you know, I would have killed you. ”

However, in the end, the two of them lived and died together, and in some matters, he also needed to help, and the Queen Mother softened her voice and said: "I understand the success and defeat of the king." You just have to rest assured, the mourning family has gone through so much, where do you dare to count on others to help me wholeheartedly, the matter is done, my son also has a successor, the thing is not successful, I also have a future, at least my life is worry-free. ”

Li Quanzhi knew that things could not be changed, and sighed half-loudly: "The Queen Mother takes care, I hope that the Niangniang's wish will come true." On the emperor's side, I will help you hide it, that is, when the emperor goes in the future, I will also follow to serve the emperor. ”

After saying that, the Empress Dowager Liu was stunned for a while, raised her eyes upward, turned around a few times, and finally forced her eyes back, and sighed in her heart: Have you finally become a loner.

Besides, Li Quan came to the emperor's bedroom, groomed himself a little, tried to grin, walked into the house and said with a smile: "The emperor had a good night's sleep yesterday, and the old slave just asked the imperial doctor, saying that if this continues, the dragon body will be healthy and safe just around the corner." ”

The little emperor An Shikun smiled: "Borrow your auspicious words." Listening to the crickets at night, it was like going back to when I was a child, and my heart was extremely calm, but I had a good night's sleep. But you listened with me, I'm afraid I'm sleepy, listen to Xiao Shunzi, you haven't slept all night, go and rest, you don't have to accompany me. ”

Li Quan smiled when he heard this: "It's also Ling'er's girl who has a heart." The day before yesterday, the old slave inadvertently mentioned that the emperor was not in good health and could not go out, so the old slave caught a few crickets and put them in a cage to relieve the emperor's boredom. She remembered that she had caught a few of them, and she was no younger than an old man like me. Originally, the old slave wanted to catch a few more in the past few days to please the emperor, but he couldn't find them in the palace. She deserves this reward. ”

When An Shikun heard this, he said lightly: "It is the duty of a slave to honor his master, and there is nothing to be rewarded. ”

Because Li Quan's death defense was strictly guarded, the palace people who waited close were all cautious, so there was no such inappropriate thing.

But although he didn't know anything about men and women, in order to survive when he was a child, he still practiced the ability to observe words and colors, and at a glance, he could see the calculation in the eyes of that Ling'er.

It's just that he thinks that someone will help him discipline this restless little palace person, and he doesn't bother to bother, and he really doesn't care about those few little insects, so he pretends not to accept it, and it is extra rewarding.

It's just that Liu Chan's temperament is very violent, although Xiaogong's heart is not pure, but it is not guilty to death, An Shikun thought of this, so he smiled and said: "You don't have to let Liu Jieyu know about this, that is a person who can't tolerate sand in his eyes." Although this palace maid is a scheming and motivated person, it is not a capital crime, although she is a slave of the Liu family, in the end, she is in the palace, and it is not good if she really dies. Just don't let her come to me. ”

Li Quan hurriedly agreed, seeing that the emperor had nothing else to say, and knew that the emperor should not have heard anything about the outside world, so he let go of his heart, and used the excuse of going out to watch people decoct the medicine in person, but in fact, he secretly deployed and did not let the foreign words in.

An Shikun closed his eyes and thought to himself.

He didn't believe Li Quan's words.

With Liu Chan's personality, the people around her ate the bear's heart and leopard's guts, and they didn't dare to hide it from her, so they ran to please her.

Besides, it was brought into the palace by Liu Chan, it must be of great use, how could he rush to compete for favor as soon as he entered the palace?

An Shikun couldn't figure it out for a while, but now seeing that Li Quan is still helping her lie, I'm afraid that her mother or granduncle has some plans.

What are you planning for?

An Shikun suddenly felt an itchy throat, and hurriedly covered his mouth with a handkerchief and coughed a few times.

Li Quan heard that he was busy running in, and regardless of the smell of medicine on his body, he stepped forward to give An Shikun a busy job on his back and chest.

An Shikun coughed up a sweat, it was easy to stop, glanced at the handkerchief, a few points of scarlet dyed on the snow-white scarf, sighed, I am like this, what do you care, let them go.

An Shikun casually put the handkerchief aside, Li Quan hurriedly picked it up, handed it to the little chamberlain, and said with a smile: "It looks much better than a few days ago, what does the emperor think?"

An Shikun watched the little waiter go out, and also smiled: "I also feel lighter." In a few days, I will personally go to the Imperial Garden to catch crickets. Speaking of which, that year I also said that when I was developed, I would personally catch a jar of crickets and reward them to you. Now that my body is not well, I remembered it again, thinking that God punished me for not counting my words, which made me sick again. ”

Li Quan hurriedly said: "Ouch, the old slave is just a slave, it is the duty of the old slave to wait for the queen mother and the emperor. ”

An Shikun is also a young man, teasing Li Quanlai, and said with a smile: "I have a golden mouth, what I have said, I naturally have to fulfill it." Don't worry, when I get better, I will personally catch a jar of crickets and send them to you. Alas, I'm afraid that at that time, you will be impeached, saying that you are a traitor, luring my plaything to lose your mind, and then there will be a Qing monarch, it will be even more terrifying. ”

Li Quan smiled: "The old slave is not afraid. What kind of person is the old slave, the emperor is clear, traitorous and loyal, what the people of the world say doesn't matter, it depends on the emperor. ”

"What if I say you're not a loyal servant?"

Li Quan was amazed, and An Shikun said with a straight face: "Helping outsiders deceive me, can you be regarded as a loyal minister?"
