The next day, Cui Chengxiu's resignation and illness were forwarded to the Emperor of the Apocalypse by the cabinet. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

In Cining Palace, Emperor Tianqi was lying on the sickbed, squinting weakly to recuperate, and Empress Zhang was sitting on a stool on one side to serve Emperor Tianqi.

Emperor Apocalypse read Cui Chengxiu's resignation, nodded with satisfaction, and said: "It seems that Wang Zhizheng cooperated very well, which not only allowed Cui Ningxiu to subdue the law, but also forced Cui Chengxiu to submit his resignation. ”

Empress Zhang had no intention of interfering with political affairs, just because the incident involved her sweetheart Wang Zhizheng, and secondly, the health of the Emperor of the Apocalypse was deteriorating, and it was time for her, the queen, to come to the forefront.

Empress Zhang asked tentatively: "Your Majesty, does Cui Chengxiu have no bad deeds, why don't you investigate and deal with them together?"

Emperor Tianqi smiled slightly: "You, what is it a woman, now Emperor Tianqi and Wei Zhongxian are like two tigers, I finally let them fight against each other, Wei Zhongxian's henchmen were pulled out, if Cui Chengxiu is disposed of at this time, wouldn't it give Wei Zhongxian a chance to sit big again, as long as Cui Chengxiu is kept, it is also a threat to Wei Zhongxian invisibly, preventing him from sitting big again." Wang Zhizheng understands my intentions very well!"

Empress Zhang nodded, smiled slightly and said, "Now that Cui Chengxiu has been quickly suppressed by you, what next?"

Emperor Apocalypse let out a weak sigh: "The next thing is to be handed over to Wang Zhizheng." ”

After that, he looked up at the eunuch Zhou Shun'er who was standing on the side: "Zhou Shun'er, go and pass the decree and announce that Wang Zhizheng is entering the palace." ”

Zhou Shun'er nodded: "Yes, Your Majesty, may I ask if you are summoned in the Qianqing Palace, or in the Imperial Palace?"

Emperor Tianqi closed his eyes and thought again and again: "Let him come to Cining Palace!"

Zhou Shun'er hesitated: "But the emperor, Cining Palace is the queen's bedroom, and it doesn't fit in with the ceremony!"

The Emperor of the Apocalypse waved his hand impatiently: "Do you dare to question my words?"

Zhou Shun'er hurriedly smiled: "The slave doesn't dare, the slave doesn't dare, how can the slave have such courage!"

Zhou Shun'er is a eunuch who came out of Wang Tiqian's ceremonial supervisor, and has already been incorporated by Wang Zhizheng, and after listening to the emperor's call Wang Zhizheng, he can't help but ask more questions for his master.

As soon as Empress Zhang next to her heard that Emperor Tianqi was going to summon Wang Zhizheng in Cining Palace, she hurriedly stood up and said, "Then the concubine will avoid it first." ”

Emperor Tianqi grabbed Empress Zhang's hand: "Don't go, summon Wang Zhizheng with me later, there are some things you should also listen to." ”

Empress Zhang has been said by the Emperor of the Apocalypse in person, Wang Zhizheng admires her, of course he wants to avoid suspicion, but he didn't expect the Emperor of the Apocalypse to let her meet Wang Zhizheng with him, and he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, and a little blushing and heartbeat.

She asked with some hesitation: "Your Majesty, you are talking about political affairs, and it is not appropriate for the harem to ask, so I should step down." ”

Emperor Apocalypse couldn't help but be a little unhappy when he saw that the queen was about to retreat again and again: "Why, at this juncture, my health is not good, and you don't listen to my arrangement?"

Emperor Apocalypse is not in good health, he can't help but be in a dull mood all the time, and some depression caused by serious illness, what he said can't help but be heavier, and the queen hurriedly bowed her head and said, "The concubine doesn't dare." ”

Then she sat beside the Emperor of the Apocalypse.

Emperor Tianqi stared at Empress Zhang, only to feel that the twenty-two-year-old peerless beauty was becoming more and more beautiful and moving, whether it was a smile or a frowning face, she was so beautiful, he couldn't help but sigh: "For so many years, I haven't looked at you well, and now I find that you are so beautiful, I really don't know how to cherish you!"

When Empress Zhang heard this, she was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "How could the emperor say such a thing." ”

The more Emperor Tianqi looked at Empress Zhang's beauty, the more he felt that he couldn't leave the "scourge" of Wang Zhizheng, and he brought up the matter again: "I haven't been a good husband in my life, and I know that I am ashamed of you. ”

Empress Zhang Bingxue is smart, of course she knows what the emperor said, but she made up her mind, as long as she can hide her affection for Wang Zhizheng in front of the emperor, the emperor can rest assured of her, and the more the emperor is at ease with her, the more Wang Zhizheng's safety will be for me.

Empress Zhang nodded resolutely and said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, the concubine is the mother of the Ming Empire and the daughter-in-law of the Zhu family, of course she knows what to do, so you don't have to worry." ”

Emperor Apocalypse saw that the queen's voice was firm, I was no longer worried, but felt a burst of relief, he squinted his eyes and closed his eyes to recuperate, Empress Zhang took the fan from the hand of the palace maid, and gently shook it to give Emperor Apocalypse a cool feeling.

It was the beginning of May, and the weather was getting hotter, and although the Emperor of the Apocalypse had been ill for a long time, he couldn't hurt the heat.

Emperor Apocalypse squinted and enjoyed Empress Zhang's personal fanning, feeling a long-lost tranquility and comfort in his heart.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse actually fell asleep.

At this time, Wang Zhizheng had already walked into Cining Palace, he was wearing a neat official uniform, standing at the gate of Cining Palace, and the eunuch Zhou Shun'er bowed down and said: "The general will wait a while, the emperor seems to be asleep." ”

Wang Zhizheng nodded at him.

Zhou Shun'er walked in lightly, bowed to Empress Zhang and whispered, "Niangniang, is the emperor asleep?" The general is here, do you want him to wait for a while. ”

The queen smiled slightly: "Well, you let him wait for a while, the emperor finally fell asleep, don't wake him up." ”

Zhou Shun'er turned around to leave, but Empress Zhang suddenly grabbed him: "Wait." Well, let's go and have a look. ”

Zhou Shun'er nodded, and walked behind Empress Zhang towards the gate of Cining Palace.

Wang Zhi was standing in the sun at the gate of Cining Palace, only feeling that the heat was unbearable, and the hot sweat was rolling down his forehead, but he didn't dare to find a shade to enjoy the shade, so he could only stand and wait.

Suddenly saw Empress Zhang wearing beautiful palace clothes curling Tingting, I couldn't help but feel cordial in my heart, but I didn't dare to look directly, so I bowed down and stood up, and as soon as the queen came over, he bowed to the ground: "Weichen Wang Zhizheng sees the queen's mother, Niangniang Chitose Chitose Chitose Chitose." ”

Empress Zhang said gently: "Lord Wang, let's be even." ”

Wang Zhizheng stood up, still not daring to look at Empress Zhang, and could only look down at Empress Zhang's feet.

Empress Zhang looked up at the sun and said kindly: "It's so hot, don't bask in the sun here, come in quickly." ”

Wang Zhizheng hurriedly said: "No, no, no, Niangniang, go back to the palace, I will stand under the shade of this tree for a while and get out of the way." ”

Empress Zhang smiled: "It's okay, you can wait outside, there's no need to stand here." ”

Wang Zhizheng was moved in his heart, so he followed Queen Zhang into the palace.

When he arrived outside, Wang Zhizheng only felt that there was a fragrance coming to his nose, and he only felt a tingle in his heart.

Empress Zhang said to Zhou Shun'er: "You are waiting here, make a cup of Huoxiang tea for Lord Wang, and relieve the heat for Lord Wang." ”

Then he turned around and went into the inner room.

Wang Zhizheng waved his hand: "Father-in-law Zhou, don't be busy, I'm not hot, it's much refreshing here." ”

Zhou Shun'er said with a smile: "The Huo Xiang Relief Tea in the palace is prepared by Imperial Doctor Hu of Tai Hospital, and the effect is very good, you can try it." ”

Wang Zhizheng took the tea and took a sip, only to feel that it was suddenly refreshing, refreshing and peaceful, so he praised in a low voice: "Sure enough, it is cool and relieves the heat, hehehe, the recipe of this tea, can Gonggong Zhou ask Imperial Doctor Hu to send me a copy?"

Zhou Shun'er said with a smile: "Where is this, of course there is no problem, it is wrapped in our family." ”
