Qiwen knew very well in her heart that she couldn't expect him to trust her 100%, and she didn't reserve the slightest bit of caution. People's hearts are separated from their stomachs, and he has no system, why should he trust her 100%? Even if it is 100% at present, it may not be anytime and anywhere in the future.

There is no real mustard between two people in the world, and it is too naïve to really believe that you can exchange the trust of the other party by digging out your heart and lungs. All she could do was fight for it.

This time she reported to the emperor, Qiwen didn't relay it so word-for-word, especially deliberately avoiding King Tan's words to tease her. This was not a deliberate attempt to hide anything, just because she could imagine that the emperor would be even more reluctant to let her negotiate with the king of Tan after hearing those words, and at the moment, it was obviously in her better interest to continue. She didn't want the emperor's feelings to interfere with the favorable progress of the situation.

Even so, I saw that the emperor's face was getting more and more gloomy.

"You're not happy?" After speaking, Qiwen asked.

"Should I be happy?" The Emperor smiled sarcastically.

Qiwen explained a little crampedly: "I'm sorry, I know you don't want me to be false and wronged with him, but when things happened suddenly, I made my own decisions and perfunctory him." I thought you might be able to use ...... too."

"I don't mind that." The Emperor sighed softly. When he went to Ciqing Palace, Empress Taishang only told him that she had called Qiwen over in the afternoon, and did not mention the family law for Qiwen at all, as well as the details related to Yuan Ying.

He picked up the jujube red silk thread on the edge of Qiwen's skirt and fiddled with it between his fingers, "It stands to reason that even if you become the queen, if the queen mother has the heart to beat, she can put on the style of her mother-in-law, and she doesn't even find a valid reason." But when this matter is mixed with a source, it will completely change its taste. You don't know, if you choose Yuan Ying, and then the queen mother knows that I also have something to think about you, the queen mother will at most comfort me a few words, and she will never punish you. ”

It turned out that this was the one who made him angry. Qiwen laughed and said: "Do you think that Queen Taishang's move is to blame me for not taking a fancy to the three princes, and punishing me is to hold grievances for the three princes?" ”

The sneer on the corner of the emperor's lips almost had a terrifying meaning: "She really didn't mean this, or rather, she thought she didn't mean that, but what she did clearly meant that." ”

Empress Taishang didn't know that King Tan's real intention of talking to Qiwen was to win her over, and she must not have imagined that Qiwen would guess that her punishment was the mystery of Yuan Ying's contribution behind her back, and she would never have imagined that Qiwen would clearly convey this meaning to the emperor.

In short, Empress Taishang felt that if she disciplined Qiwen behind his back, he would still be confused.

This made him even more unhappy - oh, I don't know why, you can just find an excuse to beat me? Why haven't you ever disciplined Yuan Ying's wife and concubine? Is that different from your daughter-in-law?

He felt fresh, could it be that Qiwen loved me but didn't love Yuan Ying, and it became a big crime for her?

Qiwen was full of uneasiness, and tugged at his sleeve to persuade: "Don't be like this, the reason why Empress Taishang wants to punish me is just that I think I have confused her two sons and am a scourge." If you hate her for holding grievances against me, won't I really become a scourge? In the final analysis, it was just instigated by the third prince, and Queen Taishang was also his way. ”

At this moment, we can only try to lead the contradiction between mother and son to the contradiction between brothers, anyway, the contradiction between brothers is already very deep. She doesn't want to expand the gap between mother and son because of herself, both public and private, that is all unfavorable factors, and if she wants to deal with King Tan in the future, the strength that the Emperor and his wife can contribute is likely to be decisive.

"Do you know where she's done the most?" The emperor sneered, "Do you think that Yuan Ying came to talk to you later, didn't she give her permission?" That's right, she is not only holding grievances for Yuan Ying, but also creating opportunities to help Yuan Ying seduce you! ”

Qiwen really didn't think about this, and when she heard him say this, she was speechless.

Knowing that Qiwen is his person, he also allowed King Tan to talk to her alone, what should he think of this? Don't say that because Qiwen was not canonized, she would be as naïve as Concubine Ning as a queen of the princess, thinking that she could treat Qiwen as a simple maid.

"It's not uncommon for her to be biased, but this time it's too obvious. If I'm a little weaker, she might have to give you a direct order and give you to Yuan Yingde! The more the emperor spoke, the more indignant he became, and he got up and took a few steps to the side with his arms folded.

Qiwen followed and persuaded: "It's not like, in fact, I can see that Queen Taishang is still really concerned about you." She didn't ask me casually, but genuinely concerned about your daily life. If it weren't for the fact that I answered so smoothly and showed that I was dedicated to you, she wouldn't have spared my punishment so lightly. ”

"That's what you think?" The emperor snorted, "Then you might as well imagine, if one day I see me and Yuan Ying tearing their faces and facing each other, they are on the same footing, and even have to fight for life and death, will she stand by my side?" ”

Qiwen was stunned on the spot and couldn't answer. Empress Taishang is his biological mother, but at the moment, this question is really difficult to conclude. Judging from the shape on the surface, no matter how you look at it, I feel that Queen Taishang is afraid that she is more inclined to King Tan.

It's really unbelievable, no matter how confused the Empress Taishang is, can she never think that her two sons will fight one day? When the day really comes to force her to stand in line, will she really stand on the side of her adopted son, be hostile to her own son, and even watch her own son die at the hands of her adopted son?

The emperor was silent for a moment and said, "She owes me something, and I really don't dare to say how much other concern she can have." If I wait until the day when I break my face with Yuan Ying, I can be sure that my father will at least try to dissuade Yuan Ying, and the queen mother will ...... I am afraid that there is very little hope that it will be on my side. ”

Seeing Qiwen's worried face, he eased his tone and said with relief: "Don't worry, I'm not a person who doesn't understand human feelings at all, and before things come to that point, there won't be any reckless actions." But there is one room for everything, I respect her, and she should also take care of my identity and respect me appropriately. I should let outsiders know that you are the 'person on the tip of my heart', as long as I sit on this throne for a day, no one will want to touch you!

"Don't listen to anyone's edict in the future, whether it's the emperor, the queen, the queen, or any concubine or concubine, whoever claims to have something to tell you to go, you don't want to go. The excuse is that I explicitly ordered you to be on standby at Longxi Pavilion at any time, and you must not leave your post without permission. I want to see who has the audacity to openly oppose me! ”

Qiwen was stunned: "But in this way, isn't it equivalent to showing the third prince that I have relayed all today's words to you?" Today's perfunctory paving is very good, she is still waiting to see what King Tan will use to show her muscles, it is a pity to give up halfway.

"No, you almost got beaten, you should always tell me about this, he will think that I am protecting you as the queen mother, not him." The emperor also showed a sneer, "Besides, even if I am afraid to go out through the wind, can I let it go?" What if there is a moth on the other day? If I can't even protect you with this little thing, I'll live in vain. ”

Even if he didn't come to be the emperor, he was just an unfavored prince, and he would not be reduced to the point where his women would be beaten when others said they would be beaten, and they would be molested when they were said. He's really angry today.

"Besides," he turned back to Qiwen, "and now you still want to spy on Yuan Ying for me?" ”

"Of course, seeing him deceived by us, you don't know how happy I am." Qiwen finished smiling, but her smile quickly stiffened in the face of his direct gaze. Today's fatigue and annoyance are probably no longer hidden in his eyes.

"Even if you don't go into details, can't I imagine what kind of virtue he will be when he talks to you?" The Emperor's face turned indifferent, and he raised his hand to gently caress her chin.

Now with his cherishing of Qiwen, Yuan Ying doesn't want to touch her, just a little disrespect between words...... No, don't say it's disrespectful words, just by looking at her, not even saying that you see her, just by seeing that Yuan Ying has a little concern for her in his heart, he will be full of heart.

It seems that the resentment accumulated over the years against Yuan Ying has been concentrated on her alone, Yuan Ying is the person he most taboos, she is the person he cherishes the most, and it is a great torture for him to learn that the two of them have a little bit to do with each other.

"I don't know that those nonsense is simply polluting your ears." The Emperor said earnestly, "Therefore, if you have the slightest reluctance, say it." ”

This is really a bit difficult to answer, if she is very willing, it seems that she likes to contact with the king of Tan, but she really shows reluctance, is she going to let go of such a great opportunity?

Qiwen knows very well that he can talk about this, which is enough to show that he intellectually agrees that it is very helpful for her to spy on King Tan.

When the emperor saw her hesitation, he resolutely said, "It's better to ......."

"No, no," Qiwen raised her hand to cover his mouth, "Let me go, it's not a matter of much grievance, isn't it good to fight for a day of peace of mind?" This time, I have made it clear with a cold face that I don't want to listen to his nonsense, and he will probably not come to me to talk nonsense again, and he will only talk to me about things in the future, and I will also talk to him about things, and it has come to this point, so I should see what tricks he wants to use to show me his ability. ”

The emperor still wrinkled his brows and shook his head irritably: "What's the matter?" Think about it, if you really turn against him, doesn't it mean that you will have to commit to him sooner or later? Do you still want him to do business with you in a proper manner? ”

Qiwen also shook her head: "No, at least he is also such an arrogant person, seeing that I speak coldly to him, can he still lower his body and be bored?" What he wants is the information I can spy on, and it's not me, he can easily get any woman he wants, are you really the sweetheart in his eyes? ”

The emperor was silent for a while, but he was also a little moved by her. It is said that Yuan Ying has read countless women, if you see that she is not pretending, there is really no reason to take the initiative to tease her and be bored with herself. It's just that just thinking of her going to meet and talk to Yuan Ying makes him feel uneasy, and there is no need to implement any hidden dangers at all.

Qiwen bent her eyes again and pulled his sleeve coquettishly: "If you stop it again, I can only suspect that you are afraid that my mind will not be strong." Are you really afraid that I will think about him? ”

The emperor couldn't help laughing, but quickly regained his solemnity, and pointed his finger at the tip of her nose and solemnly confessed: "You must remember that he is not a simple person, and you must not underestimate him. If you are in danger, it is better to give up completely than to take risks. ”

Qiwen nodded, but she didn't take it very seriously in her heart, how could she say that she was also in the palace, no matter how terrible King Tan was, what could she do to her in the harem?

The emperor's face was solemn, and he took her hand and shook it: "I ...... when I think that I have been reduced to the point of letting you do such a thing."

"I know, I know." Qiwen intercepted his words, he would suffer a heavy frustration for this, and he would feel that he was useless, she understood it.

She in turn held his hand with both hands: "I have accepted your affection, I should do my part for you, besides, people say that husband and wife are one......" She paused and smiled, "The slave is speechless, the queen is your wife, I just want to be a confidante." ”

"Really?" The emperor smiled wryly, "In my heart, it's the opposite, she is a confidante, and you are my wife." ”

He said it so naturally and casually, without hesitation, without pretentiousness, and when he said it from a person like him who would not be flattering at all, it was even more obvious that this was not a love word, but a voice from the heart, and it was the truest truth.

Qiwen's nose instantly turned sour when she heard it, her eyes were moist, and she really didn't complain because of what he said. A moment ago, he was worried about being suspicious of him, so it can be seen that he is stupid. She forced a smile and said, "So, for your sake, I should do my part." ”

The emperor didn't see this sentence as a confession, and when he saw that she was almost moved, he felt a little funny, and at the same time, he was also stunned, the title of this concubine was no way to give her after all. He can't depose the queen in order to be worthy of her, or hope for the queen's early death.

Qiwen turned to clean up the tea cup on the small table, and said with a casual smile: "You too, you have arranged for me to help Dongchang, if you change the hexagram temporarily, don't you let people see jokes?" ”

The emperor leaned over to the side of the dragon book case and looked at a note, and smiled absentmindedly: "Are you talking about the master of ceremonies as Dongchang?" I know that you are thinking about the East Factory, and the affairs of the celebrant are boring, and they are not as interesting as the errands of the East Factory. But how could I send you to be Fang Kui's subordinate? He can't say a few words a day, and he doesn't suffocate you to death? ”

With a "bang", the teacup that Qiwen was about to put into the tray overturned on the table.
