The capital looks very calm on the surface.

The streets are still full of traffic, pedestrians are still flowing, the hawkers are still shouting, the girls are still laughing, and the scholars are still high-crowned and drunken singing.

However, only those at the center of power understand that this is only a temporary calm before the storm.

The emperor frequently mobilized his troops, and many soldiers were sporadically sent out of the city to carry out official duties. Many more soldiers were ordered by their superiors to stay in the camp and not even return home.

Zhao Zhen, the commander of the Dragon Praetorian Guard, and Guo Ya and Xiao Qian, the deputy commanders, took turns to guard the inner palace, and they were not allowed to leave without permission.

All gates of the capital have also sent additional manpower to strictly interrogate passing merchants and suspicious pedestrians.

The emperor has been resting in the Qinzheng Palace these days, and without communicating with the queen mother, he issued an order to lift the queen's grounding and let her cooperate with the queen mother to preside over the harbour/palace affairs.

Xiao Guifei was angry and hateful when she heard this.

originally thought that the queen mother banned the queen's feet, and the emperor would let him cooperate with the queen mother to organize this palace banquet. But the emperor pardoned the queen and still handed over the authority of the queen/palace to her.

Xiao Guifei was so angry that she slapped her palm on the table, and the porcelain cups on the table made a ping-pong sound.

The palace maid Fubu stepped forward tremblingly and said, "Niangniang, Xiao Shizi is here." ”

Xiao Guifei was suddenly overjoyed and reprimanded: "Please come in soon!"

Without waiting for Forbe to invite, Xiao Qian, who was covered in armor, floated in, "Sister, what's the matter? ”

The tone is intimate and casual, not at all like the usual fake posture.

At this time, Xiao Guifei also completely suppressed her previous anger, and said with a smile: "Brother hasn't been here for several days!"

Xiao Qian smiled and patted her shoulder, her eyes were full of petting/doting, "Sister has to understand me." Seeing that the emperor's birthday is coming, there are many things to be busy with, and I can't get out of it. I'm finally free today, no, I'm coming to see you!"

"You don't know how hateful the emperor is, he actually lifted the queen's grounding. also asked her to help preside over the palace banquet. Make me rejoice—"

Xiao Qian's face instantly turned gloomy, and the fist in his right hand clenched with a gurgling sound.

Xiao Guifei chattered endlessly to complain to her brother, and at the same time swept her eyes at Fubu next to her.

Forbes beckoned to the ladies standing nearby. All of a sudden, they all withdrew.

When Forbes finally withdrew, he closed the door to the dormitory.

Xiao Shizi is a frequent visitor to the Qiwu Palace, and the brother and sister have a good relationship, and it is common for them to talk together.

The scenery inside is not what Forbes thought.

Or. Forbes subconsciously didn't want to think of his master so badly.

When there was no one else in the dormitory, Xiao Guifei's smile was even more charming. The movements of her hands were also more presumptuous, and I saw her holding her hands on her brother's neck, and the bright red cherry mouth was sent to her brother's mouth.

Xiao Qian took the opportunity to hug his sister's slender waist, and his eyes were already burning with strong desire/hope. Heavy gasps drifted around the hall, "Sister, do you miss me?"

Xiao Guifei exhaled like an orchid. The eyes were as charming as silk, and the slender hands skillfully picked open the placket of the elder brother's clothes. Zhentou fell on Brother A's half-naked chest, "Brother, I miss you, I miss you, I miss you!"

Xiao Qian only felt that his whole body was very hot, and the bottom was even more swollen uncomfortably, and all the male/sex hormones exploded at this moment, and he didn't care about other things, he just wanted to press the woman in front of him under him and ravage him fiercely......

In Ronghua Palace, the Queen Mother was losing her temper, "I took the words of the mourning family as a fart with you." The mourning family doesn't believe it, this huge harp/palace, without her Qin Li, there will be no one to help the mourning family manage this palace banquet. ”

The emperor touched his nose and said seriously: "The queen mother is also the queen mother, when did she become so petty? Besides, her son has always had an old illness, and the queen mother also knows about it, and she can't be blamed for what happened in the imperial study last time." Knowing that the queen mother was angry with her, her son didn't stop her, but after being grounded for so long, the queen mother should also be angry!"

The Queen Mother trembled with anger, and couldn't help but sneer: "Okay, good! It turns out that in your eyes, the mourning family is the kind of ignorant women and children who are cautious." Do you think the mourning queen is for her to fight against the mourning family?"

"Isn't it?" replied the emperor in surprise.

The Queen Mother gave him a blank look, with the expression of a fool, "The fact is that the Qin family has been obedient on the surface over the years, but there is evil intentions inside. The mourning family just wants to use the queen to suppress the Qin family. The emperor has not forgotten how he threatened the emperor when Qin Sheng surrendered?"

The emperor's expression was momentarily unnatural, and he coughed lightly twice before saying: "Queen Mother, what happened back then was forced by the situation, no wonder Qin Guogong." Besides, isn't it your idea to marry the daughter of the Qin family with the Duchess of Qin? Why do you want to destroy her with your own daughter now?"

The Queen Mother sighed, "This time and that time." It's time to turn the other cheek with the Qin family!"

The emperor said, "I don't allow it." ”

The Queen Mother was furious, "Your Majesty, do you want to be disobedient to your family?"

The emperor didn't give an inch, and said coldly: "The queen/palace is not allowed to interfere in politics." Queen Mother, you have overpassed!"

The Queen Mother was so angry that she almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood, glared at her son fiercely and gritted her teeth and said: "Feng Chen, don't forget, this country also has a share of the credit of the mourning family!"

The emperor was also angry, and couldn't help shouting in a deep voice: "Queen Mother, do you want to kill Si Chen?"

The tone of the emperor's words was extremely heavy, and the queen mother was stunned for a moment, and then sat down dejectedly, her face suddenly turned pale, and her whole body exuded an air of defeat, as if she was ten years old in an instant.

Ji Si Chen, the two queen mothers usurped power and arbitrarily ruled the government, fornication/chaos in the palace, and the bloody lessons were in front of her, how could she be such a sinner for the ages?

When the emperor saw the queen mother's expression, he couldn't bear it a little, and hurriedly comforted: "Queen Mother, you have suffered for so many years, it's time to rest." My son also wants to be filial to you, but the affairs of the government and politics are much more complicated than the situation in Jinzhou back then, and you have not been involved in these things for many years, so it is inevitable that you will be unfamiliar. I'll leave it to my son, okay?"

The Queen Mother knew in her heart that this was already her son's biggest concession to herself, and it was difficult to ask for anything more. can pay so much, all I get is the false title of a queen mother, unwilling!

However, no matter how unwilling he is, he has no choice but to obey the emperor's wishes now. Look at it, there will be a time for him to block his heart. The Queen Mother thought hatefully, bit her lower lip fiercely, and said coldly: "The emperor's wings are stiff, and the mourning family can't control it, so you can do whatever you want." The mourning family is tired, the emperor kneels down. ”

"The queen mother rested, and the son retired. The emperor respectfully knelt down and bowed, and then turned around and walked out of the main hall.

As soon as the emperor left, the queen mother dropped a few vases in time to vent her anger.

Ruo'er silently squatted down, picked up the porcelain pieces on the ground one by one, and accidentally made a cut, and the red blood dripped down the slender fingers to the ground, forming bright plum blossoms. (To be continued)
