The queen mother knew that she was an elder brother, and Prime Minister Liu Cheng was accompanied to Yongshou Palace by the emperor's personal father-in-law, and it was a little strange in her heart, since this brother had recovered, why didn't he pass a word into the palace first, what was the situation at this time, thinking about the eunuch's voice at the door: "Queen Niang, Liu Ba and Liu Cheng ask to see!" ”

The queen glanced at Mama Qi beside her and said, "Go and pass on my brother to come in!" ”

Mama Qi went out to welcome Liu Ba into the door, and after Liu Ba entered the door, she said to the cabinet: "The old minister Liu Ba participates in the queen's mother." ”

The queen was still in the cabinet and said calmly: "You don't have to be polite when Lord Liu's body has just recovered, Mama helped Prime Minister Liu to come in." ”

After getting the queen's orders, Mama Qi took Prime Minister Liu Cheng into the cabinet, and Liu Ba didn't pretend to enter the cabinet, so he just found a place to sit down.

Because there are still palace maids in the cabinet, the queen is very uncomfortable looking at her eldest brother, although she is a brother and sister, she still needs to pay attention to this face, not to mention that she hasn't figured out the lessons of this illness for half a year, so the queen smiled slightly: "Prime Minister Liu, your rules are really good." ”

Liu Ba was stunned for a moment and looked at the queen, thinking that his sister was joking, who knew that the queen was looking at him with a smile but not a smile, and he felt uncomfortable, but he had no choice but to get up again and say to the queen: "The old minister has seen the queen's mother, Chitose Chitose Chitose." ”

The queen squinted her eyes and looked at the arched eldest brother, and couldn't help but think: Big brother, maybe you shouldn't be good. The queen didn't shout for a long time, and Mama Qi on the side reminded: "Master, Prime Minister Liu Cheng is still ...

The queen smiled and said: "Prime Minister Liu Cheng is polite, get up, Mama will give me a seat." ”

Liu Ba was a little confused by the queen for such a moment, what is going on with this queen, Liu Ba can only sit down first.

After Liu Ba sat down again, Queen Liu said to Mama Qi: "Mama, take someone down, this palace wants to talk to my brother about family life." ”

Mama Qi naturally understood that there was no news for more than half a year, and the queen naturally wanted to have a good talk with Prime Minister Liu Cheng, so she respectfully took the palace people down, and sent the palace people far away to guard the door alone.

Liu Ba put on a comfortable posture when he saw that everyone had gone down and said, "Sister, what's wrong with you, brother, I've been sick for so long, why are you still so sad?" ”

Empress Liu glanced at Liu Ba and said, "Big brother, I haven't seen any changes in you after being sick for half a year." ”

Liu Ba said: "Why not, my sister didn't see that I had lost a lot of weight?" ”

The queen put down the tea in her hand and said seriously: "Big brother, I'm not in the mood to joke with you!" ”

Liu Ba smiled and said, "I'm not joking with the queen either." ”

The queen said: "Big brother, you... Hey, you know that the emperor has become more and more jealous of our Liu family in recent years, how dare you be so public?" ”

Liu Ba smiled: "What should I do, the ministers who held great power in the past dynasties have always been the object of jealousy of the emperor, even if they are low-key, they can't escape, not to mention the crime that they want to add!" ”

The queen saw that the eldest brother couldn't hear it at all, so she said sharply: "Big brother, wake up, are you still the same person you were twenty years ago when you became the emperor?" ”

Liu Ba said: "What are you worried about, the emperor is not young, and I am afraid that this body is not very good." ”

The queen was a little frightened and said, "What are you going to do?" ”

Liu Ba still said with a calm look: "It's nothing, it's just that the old minister is sick and knows the importance of health, and the emperor probably understands it." ”

Empress Liu really didn't want to think about it, so she reminded sharply: "Big brother, even if you don't think about it for me, for a big family like the Liu family, do you want the entire Liu family to be infamous as a traitor?" ”

Prime Minister Liu said: "How could it be, I endured the humiliation so much for the sake of our entire Liu family, especially for you and that wronged child." ”

Empress Liu said: "Big brother, didn't we say yes back then, as long as that child is rich and safe for the rest of his life, I don't want him to experience the sinister and lonely of this deep palace again." ”

Liu Ba said: "The more you become a queen, the more you are a wretch!" Even if it's not for yourself, think about the child, how do you know that what you want is what the child wants, why don't you ask him. ”

When it came to the man, the queen not only reddened her eyes and said: "It was our fault back then that hurt him, I don't want to and can't have the face to ask anymore, as long as the child is safe, I can live like this for the rest of my life." ”

Liu Ba didn't want the queen to feel at ease, so he continued to remind: "Okay, even if that kid doesn't toss, can you be your queen with peace of mind?" Don't forget that you still have a wolf that doesn't know when it will bite you in turn, if he knows about it, you can still sit here so peacefully, you think you can continue your glory and wealth, dream of it. ”

Empress Liu was a little reluctant to accept it: "No, that kid is not that kind of person, as long as the eldest brother doesn't toss, this kind of thing won't happen, eldest brother, you better stop it, it's still too late." ”

Liu Ba sneered: "I haven't done anything, so what can I say, the queen mother, you think too much, how can this alternation of imperial power be controlled by my peers without authorization." ”

The queen looked at Liu Ba in disbelief, shook her head and said in disappointment: "Big brother, the Liu family has enough power now, and I am destined to be alone with the emperor in this palace for the rest of my life, but I don't want that child to be unhappy, if the eldest brother insists on this, this palace can only say this." ”

Liu Ba sneered: "Queen Mother, the old minister didn't expect that the queen's favor in the past few decades has made you like this, the old minister is really sad, since the queen mother has said so, the old minister is helpless, the time is not early, and the old minister will leave first." After that, Liu Ba didn't even look at the queen and left.

The queen almost restrained her anger and wanted to go up and slap her brother hard, and stared at Liu Ba's departure.

As soon as Mama Qi, who was guarding outside, saw Prime Minister Liu leaving, she hurriedly quietly entered the hall and said to the cabinet: "Queen Mother, are you okay?" Looking at Liu Cheng, who was leaving angrily, Mama Qi knew in her heart that this conversation would be unpleasant.

Empress Liu took a deep breath and said, "Mama Qi, the palace is fine, it's just that you are tired and want to take a rest, you don't have to come in to serve, just stay outside." ”

Mama Qi knew that her master was afraid that she would not be happy, and she didn't dare to go in rashly to disturb her, so she had to listen to the queen's order and stay in the hall.

The queen in the cabinet was lying on her side in a chaise longue, her brows were crunched, her eyes were closed, as if she was in the midst of an extremely painful memory・・・・・・

It didn't take long for Prime Minister Liu Cheng to leave the news from the queen angrily and returned to the emperor, Xue Gonggong was also stunned for a while after hearing the words of the spies below, what is going on, it stands to reason that today Liu Cheng Xiang recovered and entered the palace to visit the queen mother, it stands to reason that it should be a brother and sister affection, even if it is not so, it should be harmonious, this is good that this Liu Cheng Minister left angrily in less than half an hour, these two are really strange.

After hearing the reply, Emperor Qi Wen smiled and said: "It seems that the queen is not stupid, she knows that his eldest brother is excessive, but this Prime Minister Liu still can't understand my good intentions." ”

Xue Gonggong looked at Emperor Qi Wen with a puzzled face, as if asking why, but Emperor Qi Wen smiled and continued to give instructions, and Xue Gonggong had no choice but to swallow his doubts back into his stomach and carefully continue to wait...

This Liu Ba entering the palace is a big deal, this half a year sick Prime Minister Liu Cheng has just recovered but has attracted a lot of attention, this morning only came back from the palace, in the afternoon there are many ministers of his faction to visit Daohe, because the illness has been closed, but many officials of his faction have a feeling of being leaderless, this is since the recovery is naturally to hurry to explore the wind.

In the afternoon, Qi You returned home from the yamen, and also learned the news that Liu Ba had an unpleasant quarrel with the queen, he was a little surprised, the queen and Liu Ba have always been people on the same front, what is it to make such a fuss today, and the little guy who inquired about the news also said: "Lord, many ministers have gone to Prime Minister Liu Cheng's mansion to meet today, you see that Prime Minister Liu Cheng has recovered, do you want to go to condolence in person." ”

Qi You smiled and said: "You know how to be polite, you don't need this king to go to this matter personally, you go to the account room to get some gifts and bring this king's password to Prime Minister Liu Cheng's mansion." ”

The little guy nodded and said, "Yes, the slave will go." ”

Qi You was a little hesitant to deal with this matter, whether to go to the Wuyu Courtyard to see the princess who had been grounded for more than a month, thinking that her father's recovery was also a good thing, and she should be informed, but he didn't want to see her hypocritical expression, so after thinking about it, Qi You had to go back to the study first.

I don't know if I have a hunch, this has not read a few pages of the book in the study Qi You, then received a letter from the silver snake who had rushed to Jiangsu and Zhejiang to review the murder case, opened the letter Qi You read it carefully, I don't know what was written on this letter Qi You has been frowning, after reading it, he was thoughtfully stunned at the letter for a while, then folded the letter and put it in the secret compartment of the desk, and then took out the pen and paper and began to reply, this letter is extremely simple just four words: "Evidence security!" Then he gave the letter to the man who was waiting outside, and told him to encrypt it for express delivery.

After that, Qi You sorted out his mood again or went to the Wuyu Courtyard, the Wuyu Courtyard was more strict and quiet because of the previous things, and the minions were all doing their own thing, and no one dared to talk to anyone, everyone knew that during this time, the prince snubbed the princess and the princess also snubbed them, so everyone was still relatively peaceful.

As soon as Qi You stepped into the first door of the Wuyu Courtyard, the sharp-eyed minions hurriedly and quietly ran to inform Mama Liu in the inner courtyard, so when Qi You arrived at the main room of the inner courtyard, the minions were already waiting in rows, and Mama Liu took a group of minions to ask for peace: "The slaves ask for peace for the prince, the prince is a thousand years old." ”

Qi You looked at such a big battle and said helplessly: "Well, get up, Mama Liu, where is your master?" ”

Mama Liu said: "Back to the prince's words, the master has just chanted in the small Buddha hall, this should be about to come out, the prince will go to the inner room first." As she spoke, Mama Liu led Qi You into the house.

Qi You entered the house only to find that he had not been here for more than a month, and the princess's house had changed a lot, and the incense had been replaced with sandalwood with a faint osmanthus smell, which made people feel a little more comfortable, and when he was about to ask, he heard the voice of the maid at the door: "Greetings to the mother, the prince is already waiting in the inner room." ”

Then I heard a familiar but gentle voice say, "I know, you all go, it's good to have this palace here." ”

Qi You instinctively looked up at the door, and saw that the princess came in without powder, and when she came in, she asked Qi You to say goodbye: "The concubine asked the prince to say goodbye, so that the prince waited for a long time." ”

Looking at the princess Qi You, who was dressed up like this, she was a little satisfied and said, "Princess, get up, why are you still chanting just now?" ”

Princess Liu smiled indifferently and said: "Yes, the concubine just finished chanting when she heard the servants say that the prince was coming, so she didn't have time to change out of this plain clothes, and asked the prince not to be surprised." ”
