"Now that I have temporarily taken over the post of secretary of the Ministry of Industry, King Xi has to trouble me." King Chen and Lu Yi walked side by side and said.

Lu Yi nodded, "The emperor must have heard some rumors when he handed over the assassin matter to King Xi, so as to warn King Xi that he will not make any movement in a short period of time." ”

Lu Yi looked at the marble square under his feet and sighed, "Your Highness, now that we have no way back, we can only have a glimmer of life if we move forward, and I hope Your Highness will not be presumptuous." ”

King Chen used to be a free and easy person who indulged in landscapes, and this temperament was not suitable for sitting in a high position, Lu Yi was really worried.

But after the incident of Concubine Jiagui, King Chen was much more thoughtful and smooth than before, which made Lu Yi breathe a sigh of relief.

"I know, only by sitting in that seat can I avenge my mother, I will not retreat, and I will not regret it." King Chen raised his head and looked at the bright sun in the sky, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a thin smile.

He used to naively think that his father loved each of them, and his mother was so favored, and every day at that time was very hopeful, not like now, even if he was bathed in the scorching sun, he always felt cold.

"Your Highness, you need to make a move in Qingming Academy, there are the most outstanding talents in Cangliang, at least half of them will go to officialdom in the future, if you get them, your future road will be much easier."

Lu Yi secretly reminded.

The champions have always come from Qingming Academy, and sometimes even the top three are talents from Qingming Academy, so you can imagine the importance of this place.

Coincidentally, the dean of Qingming Academy is Lu Yi's mentor, and the two have a very good personal relationship, so it is not difficult to set up this line for King Chen.

It's just that the role he can play is just to build a line, and what actions he will make in the future will depend on King Chen's own.

"I know, by the way, the queen's side has been a little nervous lately, so you should be more careful." A cold wind blew in his face, and King Chen's hand was clenched into a fist against his lips and coughed twice.

The already pale face became a little paler, and the whole person looked haggard.

"Your Highness, it's cold, pay attention to your body." Lu Yi reminded.

King Chen's hand pressed in mid-air, "Anyway, my mother concubine is charged with murdering the dragon son, if something happens to me again, everyone will subconsciously think of the queen, and she naturally doesn't dare to do anything to me easily." ”

Speaking of which, King Chen glanced in the direction of Kunning Palace from a distance, there was a high palace wall blocking it, but he just saw the red walls and black tiles in his eyes.

This palace, I don't know how many lives will be buried every year, it is very dirty, but it hides a huge temptation of power, and every year many young and beautiful women rush in like moths to a fire, and disappear silently.

"But you're different, the queen doesn't have any scruples about you, if she attacks you, there are more means she can use, tell your lady, it's best to pretend to be sick for a while recently, otherwise, the queen can't resist her."

King Chen was worried about exactly what he was worried about, and Lu Yi nodded with a heavy face.

The whole palace was shrouded in a dark cloud, blocking the warm sunlight just now, the sky instantly darkened, the wind rose on the flat ground, the fallen leaves swirling and stirring could not be safe, and the air was full of the smell of wind and rain.

"What did you say?" The teacup in the queen's hand fell the table, the pale yellow tea soup flowed out of the finely carved jasper teacup, and the fingers painted with red Danko pointed straight at the little eunuch kneeling on the ground.

"Repeat what you just said." There was a crack in the queen's delicate face, in the end, she was old, and even if she paid attention to maintenance, there would always be a few traces of time on her face.

The little eunuch below trembled, and repeated what he had just said again in a trembling voice, "Back to the queen's mother, the servant heard that above the court just now, the emperor hung the position of the secretary of the Ministry of Industry under the head of King Chen. ”

The queen noticed her gaffe, and hurriedly hid her slightly hideous expression, pretending to be careless to take off the jade wrench on her index finger and gently put it in the jewelry box.

When the emperor was still a prince, he once had a vacant position, and a trace of bad premonition suddenly rose in the queen's heart, and the well-maintained hand gently stroked the slightly convex belly, and a trace of vicious light flashed in her eyes.

No matter how you say it, this one in the belly is also a sister-in-law, as long as the child can be born smoothly, I am not afraid that there will be no competition.

Besides, King Chen came from a humble background, even if her mother was a noble concubine, it couldn't change the fact that her mother's family was a merchant family.

In this way, the emperor's approach is more like a check and balance, the king of Yuan is too uncompetitive, the king of Xi is sharp, and yesterday he inspected the barracks in the north of the city under the command of Lord Liang, and the limelight is the same.

Raising King Chen to this level is also to block the mouths of the ministers, and at the same time, it can also suppress the arrogance of King Xi, and the art of imperial checks and balances is perfect.

"Queen Mother, why are you worried, as long as your baby is a prince, those people will not be able to compete for this concubine even if they fight for a flower." Seeing the unsteady appearance of the queen's breath, Mama Yao hurriedly stepped forward to give her a good breath.

Whether the belly is a boy or a girl, it is the queen's last hope.

After receiving the fruit tea sent by Mama Yao, the queen breathed a sigh of relief.

"Since I was pregnant, the emperor came to me here more and less every time, and that little slut of Yuzhuer took away the emperor's soul."

The queen angrily threw the Buddhist beads in her hand on the table.

Mama Yao gestured to the little eunuch who was still kneeling on the ground, and the little eunuch understood and hurriedly withdrew.

Fools can see that the queen is in a bad mood now, and there is nothing left to stay there except to be punished later.

"The jade concubine is just a tool used by Beiliang to show goodwill, the emperor is greedy for freshness, and the number of times he has been pampered a few times, but the old slave has already found out clearly, every time the emperor leaves, he will always signal the Tai Hospital to send the Yu Concubine to avoid the child, and the group of people in the Tai Hospital will watch the Yu Concubine drink it with their own eyes."

Mama Yao said as she massaged the queen's head.

The queen closed her eyes and took a deep breath, now in this palace, except for her, there must not be a second person who is pregnant, but even if she knows that Yuzhu'er has no deterrent power, her heart is still uncomfortable.

She had seen the emperor when he was next to that alien woman, it was the appearance of an ordinary husband she hadn't seen for a long time, and every time she thought back to it in her midnight dream, she longed to stab the jade bead to death with a knife, so that the emperor might think of her.
