Empress Xiao and Xinlian have been waiting stupidly, another hour has passed, and it is about to dawn, the emperor will not be able to thunder every day, if he finds that Yuan Ziyan is gone, he will definitely look for it.

Empress Xiao thought about it, and still ordered someone to bring a basin of ice water, and was about to splash it, but Yuan Ziyan suddenly turned over and smashed her mouth a few times.

"Wake up, wake up!" Empress Xiao hurriedly stopped the people who splashed the water, but Yuan Ziyan just turned over, and there was no movement.

Empress Xiao's face was very ugly, and at this time she finally understood that this Yuan Ziyan was not fascinated, but really asleep!

"Wake her up!" Empress Xiao waved her hand impatiently.

Xinlian hurriedly stepped forward and pushed Yuan Ziyan hard, Yuan Ziyan woke up suddenly, turned over and sat up, but found that she was in the queen's bedroom, as if she understood something, and asked in a deep voice: "Why did you bring me privately again?" ”

Empress Xiao glared at Yuan Ziyan, and did not answer, but asked, "Yuan Ziyan, this palace asks you, what is the purpose of leaving the palace late at night?" ”

"Queen Mother, you haven't been in the palace for a day or two, why don't you even understand the rules?" Yuan Ziyan said unhappily: "It is naturally Your Majesty's will for me to go out of the palace to do business, you don't seem to have the right to interfere, right?" ”

"Hmph, Your Majesty has already rested, you left the palace in the middle of the night, sneaky, there must be a hidden secret in it, don't talk about it soon!"

"Queen Mother, what is Your Majesty doing, how do you know it clearly, it can't be that the eyeliner is all installed to Your Majesty, right?" Yuan Ziyan was not afraid at all, and said coldly: "If Your Majesty knows about Niangniang's move, I am afraid that it will not do you any good!" ”

Empress Xiao's face flushed, she was a little anxious just now, and she almost leaked her mouth, so she hurriedly corrected: "Yuan Ziyan, this palace is just a matter of facts, you don't want to charge this palace with trumped-up charges." As the Taishi Ling, and you serve with the car, this palace is naturally related to the safety of His Majesty, isn't it okay to ask a few more words? Besides, although you are a minister of the former court, you are a daughter after all, and in this back court, the palace still has the right to make necessary inquiries about you. ”

Well, Yuan Ziyan nodded, "What Niangniang said is, since you want to ask so much, just ask." ”

"What's in there?" Empress Xiao raised the medicine gourd in her hand and asked.

"Medicine."

"What medicine?"

"Tonic."

"For whom?"

"Your Majesty."

"What's the use?"

"Get fit."

"There are a lot of imperial doctors in the palace, why did you go out of the palace to procure?"

"You go and ask Your Majesty about this."

……

The two asked and answered, and Queen Xiao's mouth was dry, and she didn't even ask any useful value. At this time, Xinlian walked over with a nervous face and whispered a few words in Queen Xiao's ear. Empress Xiao's face also changed, and she waved her hand to signal everyone to go down, leaving only her and Yuan Ziyan.

"Yuan Ziyan, there is a square veil here in the palace, but yours?" Empress Xiao raised the thing in her hand and asked.

Yuan Ziyan glanced at it, and sighed in his heart, it was the piece that was lost when he was patrolling Yanmen, it turned out that Xu Tingfu stole it, and then handed it over to the queen.

"I have an extra handkerchief, and my name is not embroidered on it, how do I know whose it is?"

"How do you know there's no embroidery on it?" Empress Xiao snorted coldly, Yuan Ziyan couldn't wait to smoke her mouth, she had made such a low-level mistake.

"Queen Mother, even if it's mine, I don't know how long it's been lost, what crime do you want to use it to give me?" Yuan Ziyan raised his head and asked, the light outside the window lit up, and soon it was Yang Guang's early morning time, even if the queen detained him, he would definitely send someone to bring him back.

"Ziyan, you and I are both smart people, let's not hide it."

Unexpectedly, Empress Xiao changed her normal behavior, and actually walked down the steps in person, took Yuan Ziyan's hand and sat down together, the arrogance on her face disappeared, replaced by endless worry: "I have already checked the ingredients on this veil with the imperial doctor, due to the long time, the taste has also become very light, and it took a long time for the imperial doctor to finally settle down, and I just came to report to the palace." ”

"Oh." Yuan Ziyan just responded casually, watched the changes, and saw what Queen Xiao said, what if she was deceiving herself?

"This contains forbidden drugs, and this palace knows that if it weren't for Your Majesty's consent, you wouldn't dare to use it on Your Majesty at will. Ziyan, the husband and wife of this palace and His Majesty for many years, this palace really doesn't understand, what kind of stubborn disease His Majesty has contracted it, can you tell me? ”

I can't help but say that Queen Xiao's attitude is very sincere, and even a little humble, Yuan Ziyan shouldn't hide it from her, but she must be honest, and she swore a heavy oath in front of Yang Guang that she would never say anything about it, so she should keep her promise.

"Queen Mother, I understand your feelings very well. But I advise you that it is better not to pursue it further, the reason why Your Majesty does not tell you is actually to make you feel relieved, and in addition, everyone is making money, in case someone uses this to spread falsehoods, the Great Sui will be shaken. Yuan Ziyan said.

"Why did Your Majesty inform you of this? In the past, when I heard Xu Tingfu talk about it, I still didn't believe it, but that day I saw with my own eyes that you handed the handkerchief prepared in advance to Your Majesty, and this palace knew that in this huge palace, the concubines and ministers, even including Your Majesty's wife and children, are not as important as you. Empress Xiao said a little sourly.

"Queen, do you want to know why?" Yuan Ziyan asked.

"Of course."

"Because I did not have any selfish motives in the whole incident, Your Majesty has more than one wife, nor one son, and the ministers are divided into factions, and it is difficult to distinguish between loyalty and treachery. is like Xu Tingfu, who has disappeared, isn't he also secretly telling you behind his back to invite pets? Speaking of this, Yuan Ziyan sighed slightly, "The world is very big, the palace is also very big, everyone regards His Majesty as a high god, the wives ask him to pamper himself a little more, and the sons hope that he will pass on the throne to himself, and the ministers keep figuring out His Majesty's thoughts, and if they are not careful, it will be turmoil in the court." ”

"Ziyan, what exactly do you want to say?"

"The Son of Heaven is lonely." Yuan Ziyan got up as he spoke, took his medicine gourd from the queen's hand, and walked towards the door, "Niangniang, if it's not me, what is the difference between Yuan Ziyan, if you can put down these mustards and be sincere with Your Majesty, he will also be happy to pour out all the pain to you." ”

After speaking, Yuan Ziyan left quickly, leaving only Empress Xiao with a blank face. Yuan Ziyan's words, she seems to understand or not, she herself doesn't want to be a loving couple with the emperor without distractions, but in this back court, the crowd is competing for beauty, which one is not simple when he first comes, the palace rolls around, and everyone becomes cunning and selfish, this is the law that the court will never change, and no one can break it.

"Niangniang, then Yuan Ziyan is gone?" Xinlian rushed over and asked cautiously, "Did she recruit her?" ”

"Xinlian, have the ingredients of the pills in the medicine gourd ever been tested?" Empress Xiao did not answer Xinlian's question.

"The Imperial Doctor has already experienced, and this is the compatibility list." Xinlian said, handing a piece of paper to Empress Xiao. Empress Xiao is well-read, and she knows a little about medicine, and after a general glance, she found that they are all precious medicinal materials, which are rare in the world, and most of them are calming the nerves and calming the qi and reducing inflammation and relieving pain.

"Niangniang, the imperial doctor also said that although these medicines look expensive, they are more effective, and long-term use is only afraid that it will be harmful to the body. Niangniang, maybe that Yuan Ziyan was really a thief who came to murder His Majesty? Xinlian asked worriedly.

Empress Xiao sighed, "No matter how fierce the medicine is, is there still any harm on the handkerchief?" Maybe this is already the best match, presumably from the hands of masters. ”

"Niangniang, listen to what you mean, Yuan Ziyan is loyal to His Majesty?" Xinlian was a little confused.

"I don't know."

Empress Xiao said and rubbed the corners of her sore forehead, and planned to go back to rest for a while. Empress Xiao has never believed in Yuan Ziyan, but she believes in His Majesty's ability, and she will never leave a person who does not know the roots by her side, unless Yuan Ziyan is hidden so deep that even His Majesty does not see it.

After Yuan Ziyan went back, Yang Guang had already finished changing clothes and eating, and was about to go to the morning court, walking all the way.

"Ziyan, why are you in low spirits?" Yang Guang asked.

"I went home last night, and I didn't get enough sleep." Yuan Ziyan said with a smile.

"Oh, what are you going to do when you go home?" Yang Guang asked curiously.

Yuan Ziyan handed the small medicine gourd to Yang Guang and said, "This is what I asked my father to dispense some medicine, which can also play the role of the previous medicine powder, but it will not bring too many side effects to the body." ”

Yang Guang nodded slightly, and said movingly: "It turned out that I was working hard, and no one embarrassed you before and after leaving the palace, right?" ”

"No, it went well."

Yuan Ziyan said lightly, and did not mention Empress Xiao. And Yang Guang knew that there were so many eyeliners in the palace, and he must focus on the people around the emperor, especially those who were favored.

Since Yuan Ziyan didn't say it, Yang Guang didn't ask, today is the last early dynasty before the tour of Jiangdu, of course, you must start and finish well, and you can't be sloppy.

Yuan Ziyan followed Yang Guang's side, and couldn't help but look up at the handsome face sitting in the dragon chariot, resolute and angular, the first rays of the morning sun shone on his face, and his complexion looked as if he was a healthy person.

Suffering from a stubborn disease, but never slacking off, Yang Guang can be said to be a diligent and good emperor, maybe he wants to be a prosperous emperor too much, and the pace is too fast, so that the pace of social development can not keep up with his thinking, which leads to a series of inconsistencies, and finally creates a great regret.

And Yang Guang is also uneasy at this time, the suffering of the emperor is beyond his imagination, if time can be reversed, no, time will not be reversed, only by constantly moving forward can we strive for a little opportunity.

The emperor is also lonely, but looking back at Yuan Ziyan who was hurrying beside him, Yang Guang felt inexplicably relieved in his heart, to have a truly trustworthy person is actually a gift from God.
