Chapter 2 The road is narrow
"Whew~"
Out of the hall, Liu Xie secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, I had the courage to speak out on a temporary basis, otherwise I don't know how many twists and turns there will be in the future.
At the same time, I was secretly glad.
The reason why Liu Xie dared to say such things was nothing more than relying on Liu Hong's terminally ill illness, and he was sure that Liu Hong owed his mother and son in his heart, and Liu Hong had to make compromises in order not to let the imperial power fall.
Otherwise, if it was in Liu Hong's prime, Liu Xie would probably be more than lucky, after all, for the emperor, there is no more son, not more and less.
Imperial heart, undersea needle!
Especially when it comes to his own forbidden body, imperial power, no matter how mediocre the emperor is, he will never allow others to touch it.
There are many bloody examples throughout the ages, there are not a few people who kill brothers and sisters for power, kill fathers and sons, and human nature has long been completely distorted and alienated in the face of power.
While thinking about it, the phoenix luan in front of him surged.
When he came closer, he found that above Luan, a woman with a thousand postures appeared in Liu Xie's eyes.
Although Liu Xie has never met him in this life, with the memory in the depths of this body's mind, there is no doubt that this woman is Queen He.
I saw that his heavy makeup was glamorous, and from the jewels all over his body, he could still see a little bit of his posture.
Even a reincarnated person like Liu Xie lost his mind for a moment when he saw Queen He for the first time.
If Queen He is placed in the next generation, she will be a royal sister, and she is also charming, nothing more than a woman from a butcher's family who can be a mother in the world.
However, the ruthlessness faintly revealed by Queen He's body made Liu Xie secretly say that it was a pity for this originally good-looking skin.
Coupled with Queen He's full of jewels, Liu Xie seems a little vulgar.
Liu Xie secretly speculated to himself, maybe this is how Queen He, who loves money, will be loved by Liu Hong, who also regards money as her life.
"The son visits the queen mother." When Empress He approached, Liu Xie hurriedly stepped forward to bow.
"Huh? Oh...... It's Xie'er, you've grown so big, Bengong almost didn't recognize you. Empress He said in surprise.
It seems that he has never seen Liu Xie.
"Xie'er stays in the Yongle Palace all the year round, and there are few people who go to the mother's harem to see her, and she asks the queen mother to forgive her sins." Liu Xie said with a look of shame.
"It's okay, it's okay, this palace is in charge of this harem, I'm afraid you won't necessarily have time when you go to this palace." After listening to what Liu Xie said, Queen He was arrogant.
"By the way, why did Your Majesty suddenly remember to summon you into the palace today?" Empress He asked as if inadvertently.
"I'm afraid the queen mother has misunderstood, today it was not my father who summoned my son into the palace, but my son suddenly heard that my father was slightly infected with a slight illness in Yongle Palace, so he came to visit." Hearing Empress He's inquiry, Liu Xie hurriedly said.
"Oh? Are you sure? ”
Empress He's tone suddenly became a little cold, staring at Liu Xie's eyes, as if she wanted to penetrate into her heart from Liu Xie's eyes.
And Liu Xie calmly looked at Queen He, with a posture that was not afraid of shadows.
The atmosphere gradually solidifies......
"Ahaha, Xie'er really has a heart, okay, it's not too early, let's go back to Yongle Palace quickly." Obviously, Empress He couldn't see anything in the eyes of Liu Xie, so she had to give up and leave under a pretense.
It wasn't until Empress He disappeared from his sight that Liu Xiefang breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, it is a soul from the afterlife, if it is really a ten-year-old boy like Liu Xie, I am afraid that few can escape the scrutiny of Queen He just now.
Around the corner.
Empress He looked at Liu Xie's distant back with some doubts, and muttered to herself, with Liu Xie's Taoism, she should not be able to escape the scrutiny she had just seen.
But I don't know why, Queen He's intuition from a woman told her that Liu Xie didn't seem to be as innocent as he seemed.
After thinking about it, I thought of the purpose of being here today, so I had to give up for the time being.
.........
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty....... The concubine is late, Your Majesty ......."
Jian Shuo, who had just sent Liu Xie away, had just returned to the main hall when he heard Queen He's sharp voice sound.
Liu Hong, who was lying on the dragon couch, couldn't help frowning at this time, and asked Jian Shuo, who had just entered the main hall, "Why is this woman here?" ”
"The slave doesn't know, it's not ......" Jian Shuo seemed to think of something.
"Hmph, I must have heard the news of Xie'er's coming. The things in this palace really can't escape her ears, hum! A trace of anger flashed on Liu Hong's sickly face.
"Your Majesty, the concubine has seen Your Majesty." As she spoke, Empress He had already entered the main hall, and it was obvious that the eunuch at the door failed to stop Empress He from letting her in.
Jian Shuo glanced at the two eunuchs who had not stopped Queen He with a reproachful face, and reprimanded: "What are you waiting for?" Get out of here! ”
Hearing what Jian Shuo said, the two eunuchs' faces suddenly changed and they hurriedly ran out.
"Your Majesty......"
Empress He spoke at this time, but was immediately interrupted by Liu Hong: "I'm not dead yet, what kind of system are you shouting and screaming along the way?!" Ahem......"
"Please atone for your sins, the concubines are also worried about Your Majesty......"
"Worried? Hmph, if you're worried, why do you come here at this time? You're well-informed, don't think I don't know what you're thinking! Hearing Queen He's quibble, Liu Hong directly exposed it.
"The concubine doesn't dare, it's not what His Majesty imagined." Empress He kowtowed.
"Isn't that what I thought?" Hearing what Empress He said, Liu Hong stared at Empress He with a little disdain.
Empress He felt as if she was being targeted by a goshawk at this time, like falling into an ice cave.
Thinking of the purpose of coming, Queen He gritted her teeth and beat her spirits, looked at Jian Shuo on the side and seemed to have any scruples, and stopped talking.
Seeing Queen He's appearance, Liu Hong couldn't help but snort coldly and glanced at Jian Shuo.
Seeing Liu Hong's eyes, Jian Shuo didn't know what it meant, but he was still a little hesitant.
Jian Shuo's hesitant appearance was already seen by Liu Hong, and he gave Jian Shuo a reassuring look, Jian Shuo immediately understood, and hurriedly walked out of the hall.
.........
Yongle Palace.
"Knock knock~"
There was a knock on the door, only to hear an "um" from inside the house, and then a man in a black robe flashed into the house.
"What's going on in the palace?"
"Report to the master, after the master left the palace, Empress He stayed in His Majesty's palace for an hour." The black-robed man reported that although the voice he spoke in was a male voice, it had a little more of a sharp feeling.
It turned out that the person in the house was none other than Liu Xie, who had returned to Changle Palace from the palace.
Hearing the black-robed man's answer, Liu Xie then asked, "Did our people find out what they said between them?" ”
"Back to the master, since most of Your Majesty's surroundings are sturdy people, our people have heard only a few words outside the main hall.
However, Empress He seemed to have had an argument with His Majesty in the main hall, and after Empress He left, the imperial physician was called in again. The black-robed man replied.
"yes, I see." Hearing the black-robed man's answer, Liu Xie thought for a moment and spoke.
"Master, what do you need the slave to do next?" Liu Xie's ambiguous attitude confused the black-robed man.
"Then you only need to do one more thing, and the rest is just to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight. And come with your ears. Saying that, Liu Xie whispered a few words in the ear of the black-robed man.
"Master, this ......" Hearing Liu Xie's instructions, the black-robed man was obviously a little surprised by Liu Xie's words.
"I have my own plans, and I just do it."
"Yes."
Liu Xie, who is familiar with the historical context, naturally knows the next direction, and will not say the reason for his decision, but even if he says it, I am afraid that few people will believe it.
With the departure of the black-robed man, the room was quiet again, Liu Xie rubbed his temples, stared at the candlelight on the table, slightly lost his mind, and was silent for a long time......
