53 [Fearless and fearless] is just a bunch of short-sighted waste wood, which cannot become the climate. ”

When Debao returned to the palace, it was already dark.

On the way to Demao Hall in a hurry, he met Qin Xiao, the young eunuch of the Shang Sleep Bureau. The two are old acquaintances in King Kang's Mansion, and their relationship is not bad. Both of them are taciturn, but they are also rare like-minded. It's just that Debao waits for Li Rui on weekdays, and there are not many opportunities for the two to meet and talk.

"Father-in-law Debao, where are you going?" Qin Xiao saw him from afar, and a light smile appeared on his unsmiling face, and he really deserved to be the second beautiful man in Queen Liangliang's mind, just smiling like this, as if the sky full of stars had sunk in his eyes.

"Hey, Xiao Qin." Debao beckoned to him, and the two met in the garden, "Isn't this going back to the Demao Hall to reply?" Where are you going? ”

Hearing his question, the corners of Young Eunuch Qin's mouth twitched, and he sighed softly: "I plan to go to Zhaoyang Hall and send a living note to the queen." ”

"This?" Debao looked at the sky and was a little surprised, "Aren't all living notes sent during the day?" And, how are you going to send? What about Du Laomao? ”

Du Laomao in Debao's mouth is the supervisor and eunuch of the Shang Sleep Bureau, the old man in the palace, and he has been serving in the palace since Emperor Wude was there.

"Grandpa Du said that he was guilty of an old cold leg, and he couldn't run, so he entered the palace by himself, and he left this matter to me." Qin Xiao said.

Debao pouted, in the summer, where did the old cold legs come from? It's just that the old guy is lazy and pushes this kind of errand that doesn't get any good from running errands to the newcomer.

After walking for a while, Debao was looking at a small eunuch in the Demao Hall running outside, grabbed him and said, "Is the emperor here?" ”

"Grandpa Bao," the little eunuch was only seven or eight years old, but he was very clever, and he was busy kowtowing to Debao, saying, "The emperor will go to the queen's mother early in the morning, and grandpa, you will go back to the Demao Palace to fight in the air." ”

"Well, we still have to go all the way." Debao laughed, let the little eunuch go, turned around and walked with Young Eunuch Qin again.

"Why, the emperor is still resting with the queen today?" Young Eunuch Qin opened his mouth slightly, and there was a moment of confusion on his face.

"You ask me this?" Debao turned his hand and pointed his finger at the bridge of his nose and smiled, "Where is the emperor resting, do you still know if you are still sleeping?" ”

Talking and laughing, the two arrived at the Zhaoyang Palace.

Debao is Li Rui's close eunuch, and Qin Xiao is an acquaintance who comes to show up every other day. Mulan, the female official in charge of the Zhaoyang Palace, came out to greet her with a smile and took the two of them in.

It's still early, the emperor won't rest so early, Debao took the lead and went inside, and Qin Xiao was a gourd with a closed mouth, bowing his head and frowning, very honest.

Sure enough, the emperor and queen were dressed in regular clothes, and her hair was loosely bunned on the Eight Treasures Immortal Snail Couch.

The candle flame was bright, shining on the faces of the two, gilding their young and handsome with a layer of warm gold.

"No more playing." Li Rui pushed the chessboard, the gloomy look on his face did not disappear, he had already lost three games in a row, and he was no longer interested in fighting with the queen again, of course, if he fought in another way, he was very willing. It's just that the time is unfortunate, the queen's little day has come again, and he can't kill if he wants to.

Zhao Yanrong saw the relaxed look on Debao's face, and knew that he had done his errand, so he couldn't help but smile and let people give them a seat.

"The palace is still here, Young Eunuch Qin, you won't come." Zhao Yanrong wanted to tease Qin Xiao when she saw her back, but today in front of Li Rui, she restrained herself a little and only talked about business.

Qin Xiao was frightened by this queen mother, so she hurriedly got up and said that she didn't dare, and respectfully presented the living registration child, waiting for her to use the seal.

Zhao Yanrong opened the booklet and read it carefully, in the past two months, Li Rui either slept with her in the Zhaoyang Hall or slept with the quilt in the Demao Palace, and the daily records were simply outrageous. Zhao Yanrong "tsk" twice, casually stamped her own private seal, and asked Mulan to transfer the booklet to him.

"There's no need for this palace to look at the booklet sent every other day, just bring it to me once in the next month." Anyway, now Li Rui is rare, she is so rare that she is terrible, and she doesn't feel annoyed when she is tired all day long. Look at this hot energy, I'm afraid it will have to stick for another three or five months before it stops. Being held by a man like this, Zhao Yanrong also felt quite comfortable and happy.

Thinking that his head is gradually getting hotter, this man is quite rare. If he takes advantage of this time to stick to him, he must be even more proud. In the current situation, it is much better to properly express one's desire for exclusivity and be jealous or something, but it is much better than deliberately currying favor and selling well.

It only comes once a month, and this errand can be regarded as easy, but Young Eunuch Qin hesitated, shook his head and said, "Niangniang, I'm afraid this is out of line." The living note is related to the succession of the emperor's heirs, and there can be no negligence and omission, and the first trial on the next day is already light and simple, which ......"

Li Rui tilted his body and said, "You can do what the queen asks you to do." What kind of heir inherited, the queen has not given birth to a son-in-law for me, and I have no time to let others give birth. As he spoke, he specially squinted his eyes and glanced at Zhao Yanrong's stomach.

This is really bold and straightforward.

Zhao Yanrong looked at him with some surprise.

Li Rui means that she doesn't plan to say goodbye to her concubine before she gets pregnant? Let the outside know how much trouble there may be.

However, Li Rui can talk like this in front of Debao and Qin Xiao, Debao is a confidant who grew up with him since he was a child, but this Qin Xiao is just a small young eunuch of the sixth bureau, and he is actually the emperor's henchman, which has to be impressive.

It's just that this henchman doesn't only know to obey Li Rui's words like Debao, and he doesn't seem to be very afraid of Li Rui's appearance, so he boldly refutes it.

"The emperor is the honor of the Ninety-Five, bearing the weight of the world's society, and has the responsibility of extending the dragon vein, the emperor is twenty-three years old this year, but there are only a few princesses under his knees, and there is no prince yet, which will make the world uneasy and the court unstable. The queen is still young, and she will definitely give birth to a prince in the future, even if other mothers have a prince first, it will not affect the status of the mother in the palace, why should you worry? ”

Li Rui straightened up and straightened his face: "Qin Xiao, who do I want to have a son with and still need to be managed by others?" As long as I am a good emperor and manage this world, I will be worthy of my ancestors and subjects. ”

"You only rest in the queen's palace these days, and you don't call concubines to sleep, which will inevitably attract discussion. Even if the emperor is not afraid, aren't you worried that the queen will have a jealous reputation? Seeing that the emperor's face had changed, Qin Xiao still continued to speak without fear of death.

Li Rui's face was gloomy, and his face twitched a few times when he heard his words, Fang gritted his teeth and said, "My family affairs are also the turn of people outside to talk?" ”

Zhao Yanrong didn't know Qin Shaojian's personality, but she always looked at him and knew that he was a very serious person. His words today are also out of loyalty to the emperor, and although Li Rui feels piercing when he hears it, he will not really blame him.

So he interjected with a smile: "If Young Eunuch Qin is not from the palace, he can be placed in the previous dynasty as an imperial historian." ”

Qin Xiao's face darkened slightly, and she silently bowed to the queen.

Li Rui looked at him, sighed in a very low voice and said, "Okay, I know." You'll send it every other day, but don't worry where I'm going to stay. If I can't even sleep as I like, what's the point of being this emperor? ”

Qin Xiao frowned slightly, and shouted rather dissatisfied: "Your Majesty! ”

Zhao Yanrong also frowned and shouted dissatisfiedly: "Your Majesty! However, although his brows were furrowed, the corners of his mouth were raised, and he couldn't tell whether he was angry or happy, and it looked a little weird.

"Okay, okay, I know what you mean, go down." Li Rui waved his hand, and Debao pulled Qin Xiao out.

"You!" Debao looked at Qin Xiao, this person is not good at this, he always doesn't know how to look at his face and speak, if he doesn't know that he is thinking about the emperor, he is such a character, he doesn't know how many times he has died if he changes his master, "That's the queen, and it's not the emperor's favor What concubine makes the harem uneasy, what do you care?" ”

"The emperor respects the queen, which is naturally the blessing of the harem, but for the queen to no longer recruit other concubines, it is easy to cause chaos." Young Eunuch Qin looked worried, "I'm afraid that if the emperor does this, he will cause trouble for the queen." ”

"Who has the idea of daring to hit the queen so boldly?" Debao said disapprerovitically, "She didn't dare to swallow the bear's heart and leopard gall." Didn't you see our queen, who has powerful means? ”

As long as she doesn't bother to rectify people, it's really not easy for others to harm her.

"I hope so." Qin Xiao shook his head and sighed twice, then turned around and went back.

Debao re-entered the house and explained everything he had done to Zhao's mansion.

Zhao Yanrong smiled and said, "Don't worry, your majesty, my father will honestly write the guilty plea." With that, my mother will never have to worry about the Zhao family coming to her door in the future. ”

Li Rui nodded and said, "As long as he is willing to withdraw, I will reward him for leaving with dignity." Zhao Fengchun does have some talent, it's a pity not to use it. And no matter what he says, he is also your biological father, if he really cures the sin, your face is not good-looking, and you will be caught. He paused and said, "I'm naturally not afraid, but the one in Changle Palace won't let go of such a good opportunity." ”

Zhao Yanrong understood that he was talking about Empress Dowager Zhang. Empress Dowager Zhang didn't see her unhappy for a day or two, and she didn't get a good place to go several times, and finally seized such an opportunity, and she would definitely have enough strength to drag her off the horse.

"The concubine is protected by the emperor, what is there to be afraid of?" She sat on Li Rui with a smile, hooked his neck with both hands and said, "What's more, even if there is no matter for my father, she can let me go?" She's counting on me to die soon, I know that. ”

Li Rui looked at her, pointed his fingertips at her nose and said, "What do you understand?" Speak and listen. ”

"I'm tired of winning." Zhao Yanrong said nonchalantly, "If she didn't kill me at that time, she must be angry in her heart." ”

Li Rui's eyes were cold: "Tired of winning? ”

"You're trying to hide it from me?" Zhao Yanrong squinted at him, "Concubine Rou has been on the sickbed for so long, where did she have the ability to buy so many people in the palace to work hard for her?" Is she richer than me or more powerful than me? If there is no one behind her to support her, I really don't have the ability to use boredom to win. ”

"At that time, I was really stupid, I was actually bluffed by you and my uncle. Later, the more I thought about it, the more wrong it became, and then I came back to it. Zhao Yanrong was angry when she thought about it. Li Rui even if he didn't want her to know that Empress Dowager Zhang could understand this, but why did her uncle lie to her, she was still not her niece?

Li Rui put her beside him, looked at her with a smile and said, "Then tell me, why did she do this?" ”

"Because you want me to die." Zhao Yanrong fell back indifferently, leaned against the couch and said, "The palace people of Zhaoyang Hall were bribed to bury the puppets in the bamboo forest, and the eunuchs around you, the emperor, were also bribed, and the puppets were raised, and then they were killed by another person. The puppet is sewn by Concubine Rou, and it contains the eight characters of the concubine's birthday. How many people in this palace know the queen's eight characters? Even if it is news obtained from outside the palace, it must have the ability to buy, transmit, and then send it to the palace. Concubine Rou's family is not in Beijing, can she have this ability? Zhao Yanrong shook her head and said, "No matter what others do, I don't believe it anyway." ”

"If I die, who in this palace will benefit?" Zhao Yanrong counted faintly, "Others will think that it is those concubines." But if I die, they can be queens? Zhuang Guifei's parents died, and without the support of her mother's family, even if she can ascend to the throne, she will be rootless and will not be able to last long. She was a smart person, and she knew that it was safest and most suitable for her to be in the position of concubine. The following is Concubine Duan. Concubine Duan is the niece of the Empress Dowager Zhang, her mother's family is powerful, and she is early with you, if there is no me, her chance of ascending to the throne is the biggest in the palace. The Queen Mother has also been persuading you to make her the queen. ”

Li Rui smiled and nodded.

"Concubine Rong wants to be the queen, but she has no foundation in the palace, she is motivated and incapable, and she is too simple and direct, frivolous and arrogant. Otherwise, the emperor, you wouldn't spoil her for so long. Saying that, Zhao Yanrong laughed, "There are only a few heads of garlic in the palace, if you can't pull out the bad one, the concubine will have no face to be the queen." ”

Li Rui hugged her, buried his nose in her neck socket, took a deep breath, and sighed: "Sometimes, I really don't want you to be so smart. ”

"Yes, so that when the emperor wants to make it bad, he is not afraid of being caught by the concubine." Zhao Yanrong nodded solemnly.

"I'm sorry," the emperor suddenly apologized, which startled the queen, "I can't touch her, I can't do it yet." ”

"The concubine knows." Zhao Yanrong snuggled in his arms and said, "You want to keep her to contain the old man, and she wants to keep you to maintain the dignity of the queen mother." Otherwise, there wouldn't have been your fake birthday sewn on that puppet...... It's just that the concubine has never figured it out, since only Concubine Wei and my uncle know about your true birthday, how did she know? Could it be that the concubine told her? ”

"Of course not." The emperor laughed, "That birthday was passive, and the time was embroidered into the time of the war." The difference between one side and the other is not noticeable if you are not careful. ”

Zhao Yanrong was stunned for a long time before she scolded hatefully: "This old fox! ”

The next day, Zhao Fengchun's handwritten confession was indeed delivered to Li Rui's hands. Along with the submission, there is also a list of Pei's dowry. It's just that there are a lot of missing things, and Zhao Fengchun has discounted his savings and family property for many years, and he can't make up for it, but this can be regarded as making him bankrupt.

Zhao Yanrong took a closer look and felt quite satisfied.

"Leave a little for him, there are sick people and children at home, and you must always save some money to buy medicine and eat." Zhao Yanrong accepted the guilty plea and returned the dowry list to Li Rui, "Send someone to send it to my uncle, he should be satisfied." ”

"That's it?" Li Rui shook the piece of paper in his hand.

Zhao Yanrong smiled and said to him: "A smart person like my uncle naturally knows that he can't do everything, and he must always leave a life for people and a way to live." Otherwise, the dog will jump off the wall when it is in a hurry, and the rabbit will bite when it is in a hurry. ”

Li Rui laughed, this was the first time he had heard someone compare his father to a dog and a rabbit.

"In this case, it is too embarrassing to judge righteousness, it is better to allow them to reconcile, do you think?"

Zhao Yanrong thought for a while and said: "To tell the truth, my uncle wants to be righteous, he hates the Zhao family to the bone marrow, my maternal grandmother died early, and his relatives only have two sisters, but they are all destroyed in the hands of the Zhao family." If possible, I'm afraid that he wants to peel Zhao Fengchun and cramp. But this is not possible. Even if I am not the queen, my uncle can kill him, otherwise let Wanrong let me, how will I face my mother in the future? The Zhao family is hateful, but it is only a small evil, if they were vicious enough and killed their mother earlier, they would not have ended up in today's field. Now my grandmother is paralyzed in bed, like a cripple, my father's future is also afraid of being lost, and my sister has lived a very hard life in the palace, and has suffered a lot of crimes. Just let them go. ”

Pei Yi hated Zhao Fengchun because he hurt his loved ones.

As for Zhao Yanrong, Zhao Fengchun has neither kindness nor grudge against her, but she just wants to stuff Zhao Qingrong in to make her disgusting, but it can't get to the point of asking for his life.

Not to mention that she also has to think about the future.

is like Li Rui and Empress Dowager Zhang, who obviously hate each other, but they can't let each other die because of political needs.

She is the same, she doesn't like Zhao Fengchun or the Zhao family, but if the Zhao family really falls and is ruined, it will also have an impact on her future.

The best thing is to drive Zhao Fengchun's family away from afar, so that he can live the rest of his life comfortably somewhere, and he will not come to trouble her, and he will not come to disturb her and Pei's life.

Pei Yi may not understand her thoughts, but Li Rui empathizes.

And he is Zhao Fengchun Zhao Yanrong's biological father, which is more special than the situation he faced. No matter how ruthless a woman is, she can't see her biological father being driven to a dead end in front of her eyes.

"Pei Hou is there, I will go and talk to him personally." Li Rui stretched out his hand and picked up the black and white pieces on the chessboard one by one into the box, "Hanzhong is far away from the capital, and the people are simple and simple, and they can be regarded as wealthy. There are three mountains and one river, but it is a good place to recuperate. When your father recovers from his injury, I will give him an errand and let him go to Hanzhong to retire. ”

Zhao Fengchun, who was only thirty-seven years old and had a good career, was transferred to Hanzhong Mansion after sending the documents to the Champion Hou Mansion to release his wife.

The family wealth was all returned to the Pei family, Zhao Fengchun took his paralyzed mother, the delicate Aunt Duan and two and a half sons, leaving only two maids and two mothers-in-law by his side, and two green silk oil roof carriages were all the belongings. The family cried and cried out of the capital.

At the ten-mile long pavilion, there were palace attendants guarding the roadside, handing Zhao Fengchun two hundred taels of silver and a box of clothes, saying that it was given by the queen's mother, and asked him to keep the expenses and settle the expenses on the road. Another emperor sent a team of ten officers and soldiers to escort them along the way to ensure safety.

Zhao Fengchun knelt down and kowtowed three times in the direction of the imperial city, cried a lot, and finally left with his family.

As soon as Zhao Fengchun left on his front foot, the excerpt of the impeachment of the queen in the court flew like snowflakes.

It is said that Zhao Fengchun has a bad character, and his daughter is not allowed to be the queen. It is said that Zhao Yanrong is jealous and tyrannical, and controls the harem and oppresses the palace concubines. There are also those who say that her father died after leaving her mother, and her identity is unknown, and it is not suitable for her mother to set an example for women in the world.

According to Zhao Yanrong's words, it is an all-round 360-degree attack without dead ends.

In those two days, Li Rui's face was comparable to the bottom of the pot, and the bottom of the pot was three points whiter than him.

Zhao Yanrong is still so leisurely and happy every day, and from time to time she asks the palace concubine to come over to chat.

There is no mahjong to play here, the idle and bored queen drew her own picture, found a set of mahjong tiles with the Han jade stone of the pavement, and found three or five palace concubines who were close to her every day, and passed on this hand of mahjong skills to them, and played happily every day.

Sometimes Li Rui came over, she was busy playing cards and didn't have time to take care of her.

The emperor, who was annoyed by the previous dynasty and ignored by the rear, held back an evil fire and had nowhere to go, the queen's small days had not passed, and he didn't seem to have "sex" to other women, so he could only throw the folds of the pile of retributions in her face.

Zhao Yanrong laughed when she read a few books, and she couldn't straighten her waist when she laughed.

"You heartless and heartless, you can still laugh so happily watching this." The emperor caught the person, rubbed it in his arms, and gnawed on his face and mouth for a long time before he let go.

"What's there to worry about? This little trick is not enough to show people. ”

The queen smiled, took a piece of paper, and first classified her own charges into a few items, and then copied the names on the fold according to the guilt in the book.

"The soldiers are coming, the water is flooding, and if you want to pull the queen off the horse, you have to see if you have any dirt on your body." With a stroke of her pen, the queen folded the roster and waited for the autumn queen to settle the score.

"I'll leave this matter to my uncle......" The queen tilted her head and thought about it, and suddenly laughed, "No, leave it to Uncle Wang." He has been fooling around outside for many years, has a wide range of contacts, and has many roads, so he will definitely be able to inquire about gossip that we can't think of. ”

"Uncle Wang?" Li Rui was stunned, "What does this have to do with Uncle Wang?" ”

"It's a big deal!" The queen squinted her eyes and smiled evilly, "Don't worry, he will definitely do this job well." What a performance opportunity, he can't ask for it! ”

Zhao Yanrong sealed the note, handed it to Debao and said: "Send this letter to King Rong's mansion, be sure to hand it over to King Rong with your own hands, and say that this is what the palace asked him to do." ”

Debao looked at the emperor and saw that the emperor nodded, so he accepted the letter, bowed back, and went to do it himself.

Zhao Yanrong was triumphant, pointed to the messy folds and said, "Look, now, which people in the court are from the Queen Mother's party, it's all here." ”

Li Rui sneered and said: "It's just a bunch of short-sighted waste materials, and it can't become a climate." ”
