Yinqiao sighed, raised her voice, and said, "We didn't say we wouldn't let you in." ”

Forsythia spread his hands and smiled bitterly, "Huh, when did we say there was a ban here?"

The drunk Zhao Ji was a little difficult to deal with such a scene, but Tong Guan understood that Yinqiao was just embarrassing himself, so he walked up and said: "I understand, His Royal Highness King Duan, the Queen Mother has already known that you have arrived, just go in, if you are bombarded out, it will be mine, don't be afraid." ”

"Ah, really?" Zhao Ji blushed and said, "Thank you, Lord Tong!"

"Don't thank me. Tong Guan sneered and said slowly, "It's just that if the Queen Mother waits for a long time, seeing that you don't dare to go in, she will think it's my fault, after all, Yinqiao didn't say that she wouldn't let people in, right? It's just a pity, now I can also freely enter and exit the Queen Mother's Longyou Palace, only the slaves will stay outside to watch the door." ”

Then Tong Guan turned around and said, "Guard Su, you just wait outside, in case something happens, you can let me know in advance." ”

Su Can slowly raised his head and looked at Tong Guan's smiling eyes.

"Okay. Of course. This is my duty, the same as my father-in-law. Father-in-law Tong has been standing here for a long time before this, and his back hurts, right?" he smiled, gritted his teeth, and said, "Father-in-law Tong, remember to come back and stand guard for me later." ”

Tong Guan saw that he didn't take any advantage, and he didn't answer, and walked past Yinqiao and Forsythia with a sneer. Yinqiao bowed her head and said nothing, and Forsythia glared angrily. It wasn't until they went in that Yinqiao looked up, his face expressionless, but tears rolled in his eyes. Forsythia patted her shoulder, whispered to comfort her in her ear, pointed in the direction of Tong Guan and scolded a few more words, quietly spit a few mouthfuls on the ground, frowned and rolled her eyes.

This gorgeous and huge Longyou Palace is not a place they can touch after all, everyone is called around, and whoever gains power is the master.

At this time, a handkerchief was handed to Yinqiao: "Wipe your tears, it's not good for girls to cry." I just saw a handkerchief drop on the ground on the way here, and the ground there has just been swept and is clean, and it should be ready to be used, if you don't dislike it."

Yinqiao looked up and saw Su Can's face, which was thrillingly handsome. She blushed, took the handkerchief and said, "Thank you." ”

Forsythia said, "Yinqiao, why are you red?"

"I didn't...... I didn't ......," Yin Qiao muttered, hiding her face with a handkerchief, and blushing to the base of her ears at the thought of the origin of the handkerchief. It's completely unstoppable now.

"I see!" Forsythia chuckled, "You like him!"

"Don't talk nonsense!" Yinqiao slapped her and said, "You are ......"

Su Can smiled and said, "My name is Su Can, and I am the royal instrument in the palace." Hello to the first meeting. ”

Forsythia patted Yinqiao's shoulder and said, "She's Yinqiao, the best-looking girl we have here." As for me, it's her twin sister Forsythia, so I'm the second best-looking girl. ”

Su Can smiled and listened to their self-introductions, and said, "Yinqiao, forsythia." I remembered. Why did you quarrel with Father-in-law Tong? Father-in-law Tong doesn't hurt people, and he's very easy to talk. You treat Father-in-law Tong like this, no wonder he will talk about you, isn't this asking for hardship?"

Su Can has a gentle attitude towards girls, but he speaks as mercilessly as ever. When Yinqiao heard this, she felt aggrieved again, and suddenly she cried again, Forsythia hurriedly rubbed her face comfortingly, and then said to Su Can: "We have no choice, it was Sister Snow Silkworm who asked us not to let Tong's father-in-law pass easily." What does the grievance of the people above have to do with these minions below us? It's just a microphone. ”

"Okay, I understand. Su Can said, looking up at the snowflakes falling from the sky, and said, "If you have to cry like this, won't I wash my face with tears every day? ”

"How can you be considered a slave......," Yin Qiao said in a low voice, "With imperial equipment, how powerful, you can almost be called the emperor's cronies." ”

Su Can looked at him and said with a smile: "That 'cronie' will use people as stand-ins, is it? However, compared to me, impermanence is really a life for a life...... If the master treats you well and does not harm you, then it is enough. There is no need to contact the truth every time, it is better not to know many things, and the less you know, the more happiness you have. ”

Yinqiao nodded, closed his eyes, and covered his face with a handkerchief for a while, and then said, "Okay." ”

Forsythia said, "Are you going to stay here forever?"

"That's right. Su Can said, "What, do you want to play guessing boxing? Otherwise, I'll get you drunk, you don't want to be like Duanwang, right?"

The cold wind blew bitterly, rolling up the snow on the ground, and it was innocent.

A big reason why Zhao Ji is loved by the Queen Mother is a childlike stubborn and naïve.

In the eyes of the Queen Mother, he is a very cute, very clever and very simple child - when several other princes and even the emperor are regarded by her as an imaginary enemy who may rebel at any time, Zhao Ji is still the most obedient prince she loves very much, and the most important factor is that Zhao Ji will come to her to greet her for several years, rain or shine, and bring some small gifts by the way. The Mid-Autumn Festival is moon cakes, the Dragon Boat Festival is zongzi, and the Tanabata Festival is a large bouquet of delicate flowers, which were transported from the Queen Mother's hometown a few days ago, and were refrigerated and preserved with ice cubes. After the queen mother received the bouquet, she inserted it in the best bottle, placed it in the most conspicuous position, and kept it for more than half a month, so that Tong Guan opened and closed his eyes every day with the fragrance of flowers, and the impression was very profound.

Tong Guan thought to himself, this simple Duan Wang, if he really has such a character, if anyone wants to harm him, it is very easy, as long as he treats him well, he may be good to that person with all his heart, without a little scheming at all. His life is good because he is in the middle of the generation, and he has no idea of fighting, so he can live a good life in a safe area for the rest of his life. At this point, does it mean that his good days are over?

After all, the emperor still doesn't even have an heir, if something happens to the emperor, this scene of open and secret struggle will one day fall on the head of King Duan, which is really a very bad thing.

Or, King Duan was not as innocent as he thought, he thought so, but there was no evidence, at least everything he showed did not match his intuition. What is the truth?

Thinking like this, Tong Guan had already taken Zhao Ji with him

"The mourning family's maid is here, the mourning family's widow is safe and sound, that's great......" The queen mother greeted her happily, the palace maid beside her supported her, her steps were very big and hurried, and Zhao Ji, who she had been worried about for a long time, appeared at the door and said in a trembling voice: "The imperial grandmother ......"

The moment he saw the Queen Mother, Zhao Ji's tears poured down, he ran over crying, stumbled over, ran into the Queen Mother's arms and whimpered: "Imperial grandmother, imperial grandmother, Ji'er misses you so much." ”

"The Imperial Grandmother misses you too. The Queen Mother sighed and stroked the back of Zhao Ji's head, his hair was black and soft as his gentle and humble temperament, "You have suffered, Ji'er, alas, the poor grandson of the mourning family!"

The strong smell of alcohol on Zhao Ji's body filled the whole room, the snow silkworm had a keen sense of smell, and was surprised by his abnormality, and when he looked down, his face was full of drunkenness, and the whole person was crazy and not normal. She subconsciously felt that it was dangerous to get drunk, and whispered: "Queen Mother, King Duan is ...... now"

However, she shook her head and saw Tong Guan's bright eyes facing her, she was so frightened that she took a step back to the side, lowered her head and stopped talking, but stopped talking.

Zhao Ji hugged the Queen Mother and cried for a long time, the experience of this day and night was too frequent and too terrifying, it had been imprinted in his mind and lingered, he didn't want to forget, he just wanted to borrow a warm embrace to give him a hotbed of release. He didn't have a long time to vent, the wine numbed his spirit, and he only cried for a while, and then he went from crying to sobbing, and from sobbing back to silence.

When he was silent, the Queen Mother spoke: "Ji'er, I hope you can understand the imperial grandmother. I put you in prison that day, I had to do it as a last resort, you know that the imperial grandmother loves you the most, how could she do such a thing. ”

"I know, Grandmother, I know. Zhao Ji raised his head, tears stayed on his face, his eyes were sparkling lake water, like a frightened and injured beast, "I know...... It was specially prepared by the imperial grandmother for Ji'er. ”

The Queen Mother's fingers around the back of Zhao Ji's head tightened slightly, and her beautiful long nails pierced Zhao Ji's hair, Zhao Ji felt a little tingling, and then heard the Queen Mother ask him: "How do you know?"

"Because...... Except for the imperial grandmother, no one will worry about the safety of Ji'er. Zhao Ji raised his face and said sincerely, "Who will specially prepare the best cell, there is good food and drink in it, and there is a bouquet of flowers to fresh the air, and no one will come to disturb it, where is this a prison cell, but a refuge." This kind of thing can only be done by the imperial grandmother who treats me well, in fact, as long as Ji'er is allowed to live, Ji'er is already grateful. ”

He visibly felt the tingling in the back of his head subside. The Queen Mother seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and said, "That's good, that's good, the mourning family really doesn't want my little grandson to suffer too much." The mourning family has always only hoped that Ji'er can live happily and be better by the mourning family's side. Ji'er has always asked for nothing, obedient, and well-behaved, which is the favorite of the mourning family. But Ji'er, the mourning family originally arranged for someone to wait until the turmoil passed, and then they would take you out, how could you ...... this time?"

Zhao Ji raised his head and looked at the Queen Mother with empty eyes.

"Why did you come out early, Ji'er?"

- How much does the Queen Mother know about this matter?

Zhao Ji's face was impassive, and in his heart he kept weighing the pros and cons: should he tell the Queen Mother what happened? What kind of person is the Queen Mother? What kind of child is he in the Queen Mother's mind? He must take the next step quickly, otherwise, he will ...... Otherwise, the strength of the wine will come up.

Zhao Ji suddenly struggled. When the Queen Mother contacted him, this action was unprecedented, incredible, her gentle and lovely Ji'er never resisted, and never hid anything from her, it was simply abnormal, abnormal to the end!

Zhao Ji sat on the ground and began to cry. His cry was so loud, as loud as a reckless, three- or four-year-old child. His cry passed through the eardrums of the snow silkworm and Tong Guan, from Longyou Palace to the outside, and reached the ears of Su Can, who was guessing with Yinqiao and Forsythia, his hands trembled, and he was distracted at the moment of punching, so that he didn't see the action of the two of them preparing to punch clearly, so he could only draw a "cloth" at random by feeling, and he was greeted by two "scissors".

Forsythia jumped up and applauded for joy: "You've lost! You've lost! We've finally beaten you!"

"Ahh Congratulations, that's amazing. Su Can smiled hard, but as if absent-mindedly, he turned his head to look at the Longyou Palace.

Yinqiao sensed that something was wrong with him and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Forsythia crossed his waist with some dissatisfaction and said, "What, you can't afford to lose? We finally won once, and you are not happy? What a stingy!"

Su Can turned his head and smiled: "I didn't get angry because of the game, it's just a game, what's there to worry about? Don't get me wrong, I'm because I'm serious and have to cheer up." If it's really because of this incident that makes you feel bad, I'll go back and compensate you. ”

"How can you compensate for it, haven't you been able to see people all day......" Forsythia muttered in a low voice, Yinqiao pushed her, and said seriously: "Su Guards have something, don't make trouble." ”

Forsythia was very dissatisfied with Yinqiao's push, but Yinqiao was a little older than her after all, so she whispered angrily: "Could it be that in the Empress Dowager's Longyou Palace, there will be any danger?"

"It's hard to say. I mean, Duanwang might be in some danger of his own. Su Can took her mouth, frightened and jumped for a while, Su Can turned his head to look at her, smiled, smiled brightly, and changed color, "Just as you said so quietly, I can hear it, I can also hear the sound in the Longyou Palace, even if the sound insulation there is very good, it can't escape my ears." I heard King Duan inside, crying. ”

Yinqiao was stunned and said, "Crying?"

"Yes, cry. Su Can grabbed his wrist and felt the meridians beating suddenly, "You should have smelled the smell of wine coming from his whole body just now......

"Ah, yes," Forsythia said, "a very heavy smell of wine." I've never seen King Duan come to greet the Queen Mother like this, he always comes over refreshing and clean, how can it be ...... this time"

Yinqiao said with a solemn expression: "It should be said that no one has ever come to the Queen Mother drunk to find the Queen Mother, and it is better not to come when drunk - this is what the Queen Mother said herself." ”

"That's it...... Su Can sighed, "He's probably under too much pressure, he's drunk too much, and he's sober for a while and drunk for a while, I'm afraid that he won't be able to control himself and do something bad." I originally wanted to accompany him in, and I would convey the words for him, and I could speak more clearly, but since Gonggong Tong did not allow me to go in now, King Duan could only ask for more blessings for himself. ”

"You're really heartbroken, aren't you serving the emperor?" said Forsythia.

Su Can smiled and said, "It's everyone below the emperor, I have to serve, I am the biggest slave in this imperial city." ”

"Grandmother, I'm sorry...... Ji'er didn't dare to say it...... Ji'er, Ji'er......" Zhao Ji sobbed and cried, crying out of strength and crying, "Ji'er is very good, there is no need for the imperial grandmother to worry." ”

He couldn't get up when he sat on the ground, just like he sat on the ground when he was drunk, even Su Can couldn't do anything about him. Tong Guan was dumbfounded.

The Queen Mother frowned. She was a little angry that Zhao Ji didn't match the way he spoke, but he was obviously drunk, so he was anxious and intimidated, and he couldn't solve any problems at all, so she said gently: "What's the matter, Ji'er, when did you tell the imperial grandmother that there is something that can't even be solved by the mourning family?"

Zhao Ji cried and raised his head, his whole expression was terrified, his words were broken, as if he had broken his guts, and said intermittently, "Ji'er is very good, and Master Zhang treats Ji'er very well, he asked people to take Ji'er to other places." ”

The Queen Mother's eyes narrowed, and she said, "Lord Zhang?"

"Master Zhang, too...... It is also a warm hospitality, and it does not hurt her in the slightest. Ji'er is also very grateful to him......"

He was shaking violently. He cried, coughed, and suddenly retched. The snow silkworm was worried that he would really throw up, so she hurriedly asked someone to pull him away.

"Wait. The Queen Mother said slowly, "Ji'er hasn't finished speaking, the mourning family still has to listen, don't let the idle people wait to come in at this time." ”

The snow silkworm hurriedly bowed her head and said, "Yes." ”

The Queen Mother walked towards Zhao Ji and squatted down. Tong Guan hurriedly went over to help her.

Zhao Ji curled up, his face was pale, tears continued to flow on his face, like a beautiful doll that had lost her soul, and muttered in his mouth: "Lord Zhang, why is Lord Zhang like this...... Ji'er is afraid, Ji'er is afraid of death...... Ji'er didn't know where she provoked Master Zhang and asked him to ...... me like this."

The Queen Mother glanced at Tong Guan, Tong Guan understood, took the lead to retreat to the side, and said a few words to the leading guard, the guard immediately went out to find someone, he walked in front of Su Can, Su Can just finished explaining to Yinqiao and Forsythia, and watched him go, and couldn't help but have a lot of thoughts in his heart.

The Queen Mother touched Zhao Ji's smooth and thin face, and said with a slight smile: "Don't be afraid, Ji'er." It's good to say something to the imperial grandmother. The emperor has not fallen, so what reason do you have to fall? Now, the mourning family wants you to say it one by one...... What did you and the emperor have in common before this, and what did you say?"

"Ah, the emperor ......" Zhao Ji raised his head, looking at the queen mother's deep and unpredictable eyes, he thought about it quite seriously, and searched for the scene of the last time he got along with the emperor from his mind, ah, it was really, a long time ago, far away.

Ah, no. Just last night, at the dinner party, the young emperor, who was high in the sky, finally stepped down from his high position and walked towards him.

"Here, cheers. Zhao Xu smiled and raised his glass, "To my loveliest brother." Recently, I heard that you were going out again? Have you had fun? I envy you. ”

Zhao Ji raised his glass and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, you have to govern the country well!

"Don't put pressure on me," Zhao Xu's smile revealed a hint of bitterness, and Zhao Ji saw the fine eye lines on the edges of his young face, "I'm not the emperor tonight, I just want to have a drink." Do you still have a toast order among the people? Tell me a few words. ”

"Since the emperor said so, then I might as well obey my fate with respect. Zhao Ji stood up, raised the wine to his eyebrows, and said with a smile, "Wuling is young and young in the east of Jinshi, and the silver saddle and white horse spend the spring breeze." Where do you go to the fallen flowers? Laugh into the orchid restaurant. ”

With a "bang", the elixir and jade liquid splashed outward, and the water that was spilled out could not be recovered.

"Okay. Zhao Xu nodded, looking back at the golden curtains and lintels, everything here was golden orange, bright and warm, and there was no resemblance to the bleak cold of the outside world, but this was what was really happening, something he would never see again.

Zhao Xu laughed dismally, and said with a long sigh, "What a big Song Jiangshan." ”
