Palace.

After King Kang left, the queen still sat motionless on the collapse.

As soon as Emperor Shu entered the courtyard, he saw such a queen who had no previous spirit and vitality. No, not only is there no spirit and vitality, but after only half a month, the queen seems to be a few years older, and even her temples are stained with a thin layer of frost.

For a long time, in the heart of Emperor Shu, his stepwife was flamboyant, proud, and exquisite. He still remembered the first time he met the little girl, she was dressed in red, and she was smiling proudly on her horse with a long whip in her hand, and the laughter was so crisp and unfettered that she was as beautiful as the scorching sun. At that moment, Emperor Shu fell in love with her.

Originally, the queen was old, and she didn't know how to restrain herself, and her family also did a lot of stupid things, which made Emperor Shu very dissatisfied. But he didn't expect that when he really saw her become lonely and haggard, he would still have unbearable feelings in his heart.

Of course, the reason why Emperor Shu couldn't bear it was because he knew very clearly that the child kidnapping case actually had nothing to do with the queen and the queen's mother's family. The reason why they have fallen to this inexplicable point is just luck.

What's more, the queen didn't make sacrifices on her side, she even sacrificed her sister who has always loved her and her most powerful henchman.

Thinking that she, the queen of a country, was forced to this point by a fault that did not belong to her, Emperor Shu frowned slightly.

Seeing Emperor Shu come in, the queen stood up in surprise, but as soon as she stood up, she thought of her haggard and old appearance, and hurriedly covered her face with her hands and hid behind the tent in a panic.

Not to mention. As soon as the queen made this move, it was really as if they had returned to their seventeen or eighteen years old, and involuntarily, Emperor Shu said lovingly: "Don't hide, I have already seen it." ”

The tent fluttered, and slowly, the queen, who had her head down and didn't seem to know where to put her hands and feet, walked out.

Seeing this, Emperor Shu sighed lightly again, he stepped forward to hold the queen's hand, and took her to sit down. Emperor Shu said softly: "Look at you." My eyes are swollen like this, haven't I been resting well?"

The queen lowered her head to avoid his gaze, and replied in a low voice, "It's okay, it's okay." ”

Emperor Shu turned his head. He ordered to the palace maids: "Pass the meal." ”

"Yes. ”

Not for a while. The emperor turned to the empress. Wen Sheng said again: "You and I have been married for many years, so you don't have to be so tight. ”

The queen even burst into tears, and she called out with emotion: "Your Majesty." ”

The Emperor answered. Asked casually: "Kang'er came here just now, I heard that he has a bad face, but someone bullied him?"

The queen bowed her head, and she whispered, "Also, it's nothing...... It's just that when Kang'er went to the street yesterday, she met Wang Cheng's son, who was named Wang Hui...... Kang Er listened to a few words that she didn't like, and ran to the concubine to complain. ”

After all, he and the emperor have been husband and wife for many years, and as soon as Emperor Shu came in, the queen noticed his soft-heartedness in an instant. Quickly, the queen decided to seize the opportunity.

But the queen's uncleverness is also manifested here. She finally had a chance, but she didn't want to seek greater benefits for herself and her family, but was blinded by hatred, and only wanted to teach Jiang Mi a lesson.

In the queen's mind, as soon as Cui Zixuan leaves, she will take down Jiang Mi's main supporter, Hubu Shangshu Wangcheng, and at that time, it will be much easier for her to dispose of Jiang Mi......

Emperor Shu was originally dissatisfied with the corpse in the royal city, and when he heard that his son dared to ride on his son's head, he couldn't help but snort coldly.

Hearing the emperor's cold snort, the empress with her head bowed showed a smile, and she thought happily: The matter is done!

But it was said that after the emperor came out of the empress, he went straight to the imperial study.

On the east wall of the imperial study, there was a map of the situation in the world, and the emperor stood in front of the map with his hands behind his back, and after a while, he asked lightly to a eunuch beside him: "Is there a chapter of the city of the king recently?"

The old eunuch was agitated, and in a blink of an eye, he replied without moving: "Yes." ”

"Show it to me. ”

"Yes!"

The eunuch answered, turned and walked out.

At this moment, a shrill eunuch's voice came from outside, "Your Majesty, the head of the household department is still in the royal city, and the Ministry of Industry is in the book Li Jian, asking to see you!"

"Hubu Shangshu Wangcheng?" the emperor paused when he heard the name, and after a while, he said lightly: "Let them in." ”

"Yes!"

......

The old eunuch had just walked to the door of the imperial study with a few copies of the Imperial Palace, when he heard the emperor's voice full of surprise from the study, "What did you say?"

In the study, the voice belonging to Wang Cheng was excited and clear, "Your Majesty, the minister and Li Jian have finally gotten the military defense map of Chengzhou after several twists and turns...... The minister thinks that the civil strife in Chengzhou has been born, and the soldiers have no intention of fighting, and it is the time for our Shu Kingdom to include it in the territory!"

On one side, the voice of the old minister Li Jian was also excited and loud, "The old minister respectfully asks Your Majesty to expand the land and open up the land and lay an immortal foundation for my Shu Kingdom!"

The old eunuch stopped all of a sudden.

In the study, Emperor Shu burst out laughing in a blink of an eye after his initial surprise. Emperor Shu's laughter was so loud and so full of energy, smiling and laughing, Emperor Shu shouted happily: "Good! good!" After saying the word "good" in a row, Emperor Shu was extremely satisfied with the loud voice, "It is rare that the two Aiqing are worried about national affairs, and they have quietly brought this Chengzhou military defense map for me." Good!good!good!"

At this time, the Emperor of Shu was indeed inexplicably surprised, he strode forward to help Wang Cheng and Li Jian, and thought with great emotion: If I hadn't always taken my Shu Kingdom and my country to heart, how could these two Aiqing think of going with me? How could they have even gotten the Chengzhou military defense map that I couldn't get? What is loyalty? This is loyalty!

Because he was too moved, Emperor Shu suddenly felt sorry for the queen who instigated him to kill the royal city, and he frowned and secretly thought: The Wu family is too narrow-minded, and he actually concealed some loyal ministers who mistook me!

......

Cui Zixuan and Jiang Mi were still talking without saying a word, and there was a sound of footsteps at the stairs. In the blink of an eye, a young guard strode over, and after he came to Cui Zixuan, he bowed his head and saluted, and said: "Son, just now Emperor Shu issued two decrees, rewarding Wangcheng of the Ministry of Household and Li Jian, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and Emperor Shu repeatedly praised the two of them for their loyalty in the holy decree. After a slight pause, the young guard said: "It is said that Wang Cheng and Li Jian presented a note to Emperor Shu about Chengzhou. Childe, according to Emperor Shu's reaction, I am afraid that Shu will soon send troops to attack Chengzhou!"

In this period of war and chaos, what these families who are running outside is most concerned about this kind of war, so this is also the reason why this young guard came to report it for the first time.

Hearing his report, the sons of the Taiyuan Wang clan and the sons of the Fan Yang Lu clan all discussed in a low voice. Only Cui Zixuan, after listening to the report of the young guard, asked with interest: "Didn't you say that this Hubu Shangshu is a man who can't do things, and Emperor Shu is very dissatisfied?

The young guard shook his head and replied, "We can't find out what happened. ”

On one side, the son of the Taiyuan Wang clan walked over, and he smiled casually: "What's so much to figure out about this? Since that old Shangshu was originally a person who couldn't do things, but he suddenly became smart this time, there was only one reason: it must be that the old Shangshu found a very talented staff member somewhere, and listened to his opinion and touched the mind of Emperor Shu." Speaking of this, after glancing at Jiang Mi, the prince turned to Cui Zixuan and reminded: "Zixuan, don't just care about the little beauty. In this world, only talent is the most important, and you should send someone to check this staff carefully. ”
