Gong Zhu had already gone out before the queen came in, and after the queen came in, all she saw was the emperor lying on the bed with her eyes closed. The queen approached the bed, stood on the edge of the bed and looked at the emperor, looking at the emperor's old face, looking at the emperor's silver hair, and looking at the emperor's tightly knit brow. The queen slowly raised her hand, she wanted to touch it, to touch it, to see if what she saw was really what she saw. At this time, Gong Zhu happened to come in from the outside, and when he saw that the queen seemed to want to touch the emperor with his hand, he unconsciously stopped him.

"The Queen."

For a moment, the queen's hand stopped there, and she didn't want to go forward or take it back. When the queen looked at Chang Gui, Chang Gui had already bowed his head respectfully. The queen withdrew her hand and walked to the stool on the other side and sat down.

"Father-in-law Chang, come to the front of the palace to speak."

"Yes, sissy."

Chang Gui lowered his head and walked respectfully to the queen.

The queen didn't look at him either, but just looked at the things in the room, back and forth.

"Chang Gui, do you remember how you became this grand duke?"

Chang Gui was shocked, and he didn't understand why the queen suddenly mentioned the events of the year. Although he thought it was strange, he replied quickly.

"Back then, the slave's adoptive father, the former Grand Duke Gong Zhu, disobeyed the order of the queen's mother, privately took in the daughter of the criminal minister and dedicated it to the emperor, and after being recognized by the slave, he told the queen mother overnight. Niangniang killed Gong Zhu with a cane, and promoted the slave to become the grand duke. ”

The queen laughed softly,

"Heh, Chang Gui, your memory is very good."

It's hard to say why the queen is laughing, because the queen is now seriously looking at a book on the table, and is looking at Gong Zhu.

"Niangniang's love for the slave, the slave is unforgettable in this life."

"Then do you remember, when the Japanese palace said, what is the punishment for Miyatake?"

"Yes, beaten to death with a stick."

Suddenly, the queen threw the book in her hand at Chang Gui, hitting Chang Gui in the face, and roared angrily.

"It's a mess to death, then this palace asks you, why is Gong Zhu still alive in the world!"

"Niang Niang is angry, Niang Niang is angry."

The queen threw everything that could be in her hand at Chang Gui like crazy, and Chang Gui didn't dodge, knelt on the ground and couldn't get up, and kept shouting 'Niang Niang spare her life, Niang Niang spare her life'. When I came in regularly, I deliberately went to take the door, but I didn't close the door tightly, and there was a crack, and most of the voices inside the dormitory could be heard outside, the lotus was the closest, and the sound was heard very clearly, I wanted to go in to see, but I felt that it was inappropriate, and there were so many people who couldn't bear to see it behind me, so I calmed down and stood at the door calmly looking at everyone.

Others estimated that Chang Gui's low position also treated the lotus a little differently, although he wanted to go in and have a look at it at this time, but he saw that the lotus was standing outside, but he still listened to the movement inside very carefully, imagining what kind of clothes were in the dormitory.

The queen threw it for a while, feeling tired and panting,

"This palace asks you, is Gong Zhu dead!?"

The queen gasped and asked with all the strength in her body.

Miyatake? Some people outside were surprised to hear this name, but many more people were puzzled that they had not heard of this name.

"Slave, minion. This, Queen Mother. ”

Chang Gui looked up at the queen suddenly with a pretended to be surprised, his eyes were full of fear, and after stammering a few words, he finally slammed his head on the ground and shouted at the queen.

"You tell this palace, say it."

The queen shouted hoarsely, and Chang Gui slowly straightened up, but did not look up at the queen.

"Minions, minions don't know."

"What?"

The queen felt that she had been teased. Why didn't you think of it before? Why did you think of it now? Since Gong Zhu is still alive, how did Gong Zhu survive back then, maybe it has something to do with his godson.

"Mother, minion, I really don't know."

Chang Gui raised his head and looked at the queen with a stern expression, his eyes were sincere.

"Niangniang, you also know that Gong Zhu is the godfather of the slave. It was he who brought the minions into the palace. Although, although the minion didn't have much of a good life with him, he was the minion's godfather after all. Niangniang, you also know that when it comes to the things of the past, it seems to others that it was indeed a slave who betrayed Gong Zhu. Therefore, so when Niangniang ordered to be beaten to death with a stick, the slave did not see it with his own eyes, nor did he conduct an autopsy, but he just felt that it was almost over, so he asked someone to carry him to the mass grave. Therefore, the slave really doesn't know if Gong Zhu is dead. ”

Chang Gui's words were sincere and listenable, so that people couldn't find any flaws. The queen's breathing was a little even, and she calmed down to listen to Chang Gui.

"For so many years, the minion felt that he was dead. To death just now Niangniang asked like this, and the slave felt that the big thing was not good, maybe Gong Zhu was not dead. But Niangniang, Niangniang has to believe that the slaves are sincere to Niangniang. The Queen's Mother. ”

Chang Gui began to cry as he spoke, kowtowing while crying to express his loyalty. The queen didn't speak, just looked at Chang Gui who kept kowtowing, and thought silently.

"Alright, you stop."

Chang Gui wondered if he hadn't heard it, or had been crying.

"Hongu said yes!"

The queen shouted impatiently, and Chang Gui stopped, lowering his head and not looking at the queen.

"Let this be the end of the matter. The most important thing now is that you are right, Miyatake is not dead. Moreover, this palace bamboo also found trouble for the main palace. ”

"What."

Chang Gui raised his head in surprise,

"Gong Zhu really isn't dead?"

"What this palace said can still be false, you can get up first."

The queen glanced at Chang Gui impatiently, and Chang Gui stood up tremblingly.

"Niangniang, I don't know what's going on now, is there any place where the slave can help Niangniang."

"There's nothing you can do to help this palace, and now the whole city is wanted for Gong Zhu. This old immortal thing always makes trouble for Hongu. ”

"Mother, don't hurt yourself."

The queen herself was silent for a while,

"Come on, go back to the palace."

Chang Gui hurriedly helped the queen up, and then walked out of the dormitory through those fragments of rotten paper. There were a lot of people standing in the dormitory, and they all heard the movement inside just now, and they have now determined that Chang Gui's position in the queen's heart is really irreplaceable, and the queen can forgive such a thing, and in this case, the person who is the most competitive with Chang Gui is executed, not the only favor.

"Alright, you stay here and clean up."

The queen let go of Chang Gui's hand and put her hand on the hands of the other eunuchs.

"Congratulations to the Queen."

"Congratulations to the Queen."

Chang Gui led the people of Zhengyang Palace and sent the queen out of the palace.
