Chapter 21 Cold Terrace and Cold Steps

"Auntie!" Feng Luoli ran to Zuo Zhaoyi's front and knelt down, that day my aunt tried to protect herself and Tuoba Jun out of the palace, and later the rebel thief Zong Ai controlled the government, and it must have been expected to retaliate against my aunt, no matter what, I didn't expect my aunt to be persecuted so far.

"Li'er!" Zuo Zhaoyi hugged Feng Luoli tightly and tears rained down,

For a while, the aunt and nephew hugged each other and cried, and Qiu'er and Zhang You, who were present, were all moved. Qiu'er, the palace maid standing on the side, couldn't cry when she thought of the grievances her mother had suffered in the past few days.

Zhang You secretly wiped the corners of his slightly wet eyes, looked at the aunt and nephew who saw each other and couldn't bear to disturb, quietly retreated with small steps, and when he got out of the palace, he ordered the eunuchs and palace maids at the gate of the palace to serve him, and trotted to the Tian'an Palace.

In the Tian'an Palace, after the kings of Longxi Tu retreated, Tuoba Junwu sat on the low couch and thought about the countermeasures to deal with the requirements made by the kings of Longxi Tu. Originally, Emperor Taiwu fought in the south and the north, and the treasury was already overwhelmed, coupled with the rebellion of Zongai and King Nan'an, the treasury was extremely empty, and various expenditures had reached the point of being overwhelmed.

Now that he has ascended to the throne for the first time, he can't help but be unanimous in the hearts of the people in the world, and the people in the world are not at peace, and the area around Yingzhou has suffered a locust plague, and the crops are almost not harvested. And now the kings of Longxi Tu are supporting their own troops and demanding that the supply of military salaries, grain and grass be doubled, which is undoubtedly a demonstration to themselves, the new king

"Zhang You!" Tuoba Jun, who looked pensive, suddenly exclaimed,

Coming out of the Shiqian Palace, he stood beside Tuoba Jun early in the morning, and saw Tuoba Jun holding his head with one hand and looking at Zhang You, who was frowning and thinking deeply and did not dare to disturb, immediately responded softly: "The slave is here!" ”

Hearing this, Tuoba Jun raised his head slightly, saw Zhang You, and thought that Feng Luoli had entered the palace today, and he had sent Zhang You to serve beside him, so he asked, "How is Li'er there?" Can the eldest princess arrange for her to stay? ”

Zhang You buried his head in the report, "Your Majesty, the princess and Miss Feng entered the palace early in the morning, and the Queen Mother summoned the eldest princess to have something to do, and explained that the slave was good to accompany Miss Feng." Miss Feng went to the Shiqian Palace to visit Taizhaoyi Niangniang, and the slave didn't dare to disturb, so she rushed to talk to the emperor. ”

"The queen mother, she's okay!" Thinking of the queen mother who had been sick in bed for a long time, Tuoba Jun greeted him,

"The servant went to Fengqi Palace to inquire, and the Queen Mother has been in good spirits these days. It's much more refreshing than before. ”

Tuoba Jun nodded slightly, "You are going to accompany Li'er to the Shiqian Hall today, how is Taizhaoyi?" ”

Zuo Zhaoyi is still very grateful for Tuoba Jun's rescue, but he is busy dealing with state affairs these days, and the affairs of the harem have not yet been taken into account. Thinking about it, I haven't seen Zuo Zhaoyi for many days.

Zhang You raised his eyes slightly, carefully observing Tuoba Jun's expression, hesitating to know whether to tell Tuoba Jun what he knew, this is a big deal to lose his head.

"Your Majesty! Tai Zhaoyi her"

"What's wrong with her? Say it! Tuoba Jun's eyes tightened, and he ordered in a cold voice.

When Zhang You heard this, he knelt down with a plop, "Your Majesty!" After the emperor left the palace, Zong Ai's rebel thief forced Tai Zhaoyi to tell the emperor's whereabouts many times, but Tai Zhaoyi refused, so Zong Ai's rebel thief let Tai Zhaoyi's legs be broken, and let the palace maid humiliate her every day. Today, when the slave and Miss Feng went to visit the Shiqian Palace, they also saw a palace maid humiliating Tai Zhaoyi."

"How can this be true? Darn! Tuoba Jun was furious, and slammed a tea cup on the bookcase, the court situation was initially decided, the world was in a hurry, and when he was busy with state affairs, he couldn't imagine that there were such wicked people in the harem that he ignored. It seems that it is time to take care of the harem as well

Tuoba Jun's eyes were dark, he clenched his fists, lowered his head and picked up the fragment of the tea cup that was broken by himself, and asked in a calm tone: "What about the palace maid?" ”

Zhang You knelt on the ground tremblingly, hung his head deeply, and replied respectfully: "The slave has been locked up."

"Beat to death with sticks!" Tuoba Jun threw the fragment of the tea cup in his hand to the ground in front of Zhang You, and the entire hall was dyed with a cold and shivering breath because of Tuoba Jun's words.

"Slaves obey!" Zhang You hurriedly kowtowed and received his orders,

Tuoba Jun didn't look at Zhang You again, and walked out of the Tian'an Palace

In the Shiqian Palace, after the aunt and nephew hugged each other and cried for a while, Feng Luoli helped Zuo Zhaoyi up. When his eyes touched Zuo Zhaoyi's legs, which were no longer able to stand, his heart ached like a pinprick.

"Auntie, what's going on?"

"It's all the thief who loves to rebel! He had Niangniang's leg broken, and he also sent someone to humiliate Niangniang every day. Niangniang is so miserable, but it is all for the current emperor, and now that the emperor has ascended the throne, Niangniang is still like this" Qiu'er, who has been serving in front of Zuo Zhaoyi, couldn't help crying,

"Qiu'er! No nonsense! Zuo Zhaoyi hurriedly stopped Qiu'er from talking further, the relationship between Tuoba Jun and Feng Luoli, Zuo Zhaoyi knows best, Tuoba Jun will not leave himself and let others bully, if it is decided today, he must be entangled in state affairs, and he has no time to take care of the trivial matters in this palace.

"Li'er, I'm fine! You should take care of the emperor. "Zuo Zhaoyi, who has lived in the harem for many years, knows the way of survival in the deep palace, and it is not enough to rely on the feelings of sharing hardships with the emperor, and the heart of the emperor often needs more surrender and respect than ordinary people.

Feng Luoli smiled, "Auntie, don't worry! Li'er will! Saying that, he Qiu'er helped Zuo Zhaoyi to the bed,

The aunt and nephew talked for a while, and Feng Luoli was urged to leave by Zuo Zhaoyi. Feng Luoli knows her aunt's good intentions, and since she has chosen to enter the palace, taking care of Tuoba and her aunt is all that is going on in this life.

In the future, the days in the palace will be long, if there is no mercy from the emperor, then it will be difficult to move forward in this deep palace. Feng Luoli did not insist on staying to take care of Zuo Zhaoyi, and when she left, she specially asked Qiu'er to take good care of Zuo Zhaoyi and go to her if she needed anything.

The night of the Pingcheng Imperial Palace is as cool as water, especially in the late autumn night, it is frosty and dewy, bleak and lonely. Feng Luoli walked extremely slowly, walking on the flat bluestone slabs,

thought of Emperor Taiwu who had commanded the expansion of the territory here, the crown prince who died young, the second prince who was innocently killed, the king of Nan'an who had only been the emperor for more than 200 days, and the Zongai who tried to rule the world in vain;

They have also been in this palace or as kings or ministers, what kind of magic does this emptiness and loneliness have that can make them fight to the death for this?

Just because you live here, you can control the power of life and death of everyone in the world, and you can control the world in the palm of your hand?

If this is the case, even if it is just for the only remaining relatives and aunts in this world, or just for himself not to live the kind of despicable life of being exiled and bullied by others, or to better accompany the person who is now sitting on the throne, he must also gain a firm foothold in this palace
