Chapter Twenty-Five: Fueling the Flames

"Your Majesty spares your life! Your Majesty spares your life! In the Chengming Palace, Wan Lu pounced, and fell to the ground and begged for mercy.

Liu Che glanced at Wan Lu and said sharply: "You are so bold, you dare to kidnap the palace guards under my nose, do you still want to save this life?" ”

Wan Lu trembled like chaff and kowtowed: "Your Majesty..."

Liu Che sneered and said: "If you tell the truth of the matter today, I will reward you with all the corpses, if there is a word to hide, I will destroy your nine clans!" ”

Liu Che's words made Wan Lu collapse to the ground in an instant, if this queen doesn't come again, not only will she not be able to save her life, but she will also bring disaster to the nine clans, this... What can I do? Wan Lu was anxious, and he couldn't help but say, Queen, everything the old slave did was for you, you can't leave the old slave at this time...

"Do you say, or don't you say?" Liu Che saw Wan Lu thinking left and right, knowing what he was thinking, and couldn't help but be a little more stern between his words, "I see that you don't see the coffin and don't shed tears, come on!" ”

"I say, I say!" Wan Lu couldn't wait for Chen Ajiao, seeing that the heavenly court was angry to avoid disaster and the nine clans, he was about to tell the whole story of the matter in 1510, but who expected that at this time, the voice of the deacon and eunuch came from outside the hall: "The queen has arrived!" ”

"Queen! The queen is coming! Wan Lu wept with joy and immediately closed his mouth.

"You! Liu Che saw that Wan Lu heard that the queen was coming, as if he had met a savior, and he couldn't help but stand with his hands in anger.

"I don't know why Your Majesty detained Da Changqiu in my palace?" Gillian asked menacingly as soon as she came in.

Liu Che saw that he was about to pry Wan Lu's mouth open, but he didn't expect that Chen Ajiao rushed over at this juncture, and there was a burst of anger in his heart, and seeing that she was so arrogant in her behavior, she was even more angry in her heart, and when she heard this, an uncontrollable anger flashed in her eyes, and she said sharply: "Doesn't the queen know that your Da Changqiu kidnapped the palace guards?" ”

Gillian was prepared, but she pretended to be surprised when she heard the words, and saw Wanlu lying on the ground, went up and kicked him, and scolded: "You old thing who is causing trouble, no wonder you disappeared in the palace, it turned out that you did this thing!" ”

Wan Lu was wronged by being kicked, and he could only endure the pain and dare not speak out.

Seeing this, Liu Che sneered: "Don't act in front of me, without your permission Chen Ajiao, you can't do such a head-losing thing with a hundred dares from him!" ”

Gillian knew that she was at a loss in this matter, and she didn't defend herself when she heard Liu Che say this, but said coldly: "The palace people don't follow the rules, and the palace will punish them well!" After that, he shouted to Wan Lu: "You old dog, don't you leave?" ”

Wan Lu was overjoyed in his heart, this queen was a life amulet, and when he heard this, he quickly got up and prepared to go with Gillian, but Liu Che said: "Wait!" This matter is not trivial, the remaining two comrades have been sent to the Tingwei Mansion, Wan Lu stayed, and it is not too late to take them away after the matter is clarified! ”

"What? And detain the people in my palace! Gillian sank her face when she heard this, and said unhappily: "The queen of this palace, can't you take away a mere yellow door?" Yan said loudly to Wan Lu: "Go!" ”

"No!" Wan Lu was about to leave, Liu Che was extremely angry when he saw this, and he knocked over the lamp with a flick of his hand, and almost roared: "Chen Ajiao, do you still have the emperor in your eyes?" ”

While there was a lot of noise, the voice of the deacon and eunuch came from outside the hall: "The Empress Dowager has arrived!" ”

In recent years, the old Empress Dowager Dou's health has deteriorated, and it is not a major state affair, so it is easy not to leave the Changxin Palace, and now it is the time for her, she must have come here for tonight's business, thinking of this, Liu Che glanced at Chen Ajiao, and the bottom of her heart became more and more disgusted.

"Imperial Grandmother, why are you here?" Liu Che held back the anger in his heart and asked in a good voice.

"Grandmother!" When Gillian saw the old lady Dou coming, she became more and more domineering, and hurriedly greeted her and sat down.

"Ahem... Cough! The old Empress Dowager Dou coughed lightly a few times and said slowly: "The mourning family is old, and they can't see the restlessness in the palace, and the kidnapping matter, the mourning family has heard about it, and Wanlu, a thief, should really be killed!" ”

"Imperial Grandmother!" Liu Chewen said, "This matter is not as simple as Wan Lu kidnapping the palace guards..."Before she finished speaking, the old Empress Dowager Dou interrupted: "Che'er, this matter is not as complicated as you think, it is just that the people below breed trouble and take revenge on each other!" ”

"Imperial Grandmother..."

The old Empress Dowager Dou stopped and motioned to Liu Che not to say any more, "Ahem... Cough! This Wanlu caused trouble in the palace and pulled it down and beheaded it! The old queen mother gave an order, and then a guard stepped forward to drag Wan Lu out of the palace.

"The queen save me! Queen..."Wan Lu looked at Gillian and cried out, his voice getting weaker and weaker.

Liu Che's face was pale, his fists were clenched, and he tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart, the emperor made himself like this, and he really didn't know if he could continue to persevere...

"Gillian..."Empress Dowager Dou called.

"Gillian is here!" Gillian replied.

"In the future, your palace people should be trained well, and no more troubles!" The old Empress Dowager Dou reprimanded in a somewhat aggravated tone.

"Gillian obeys her grandmother's teachings!" Gillian said loudly. Wan Lu followed him for several years, and wanted to save his life, but the situation forced him to do nothing, so he could only blame his own life for being like this, and Gillian had no sense of apology in her heart when she thought about it.

"The mourning family is also tired!" The old Empress Dowager Dou got up and said, "It's not early, Che'er, you should rest early!" Gillian, you accompany the mourning family back to Changxin Palace. ”

"No!" Hearing this, Gillian obediently supported the old lady, and looked at Liu Che with a trace of disdain in her eyes.

"Grandson sends off the imperial grandmother!" Looking at the back of the old queen mother and Gillian leaving, Liu Che gritted his teeth.

-----

In the Changxin Palace, Liu Concubine was uncertain, and when she saw the Empress Dowager Dou returning to the palace with Gillian, Liu Concubine finally let out a long sigh, "Queen Mother, you are back!" The prostitute is waiting for her heart to beat! The person who answered at the North Palace Gate knew that something had happened in the palace, so he hurriedly ran to inform Liu Xuan, and Liu Xuan came to Changxin Palace in time to move the rescuers.

"Look at the good things you have done! If it weren't for the mourning family's obstruction today, would you still be able to stay here in peace? The old empress dowager Dou's face was full of anger.

Gillian was so frightened that she couldn't make a sound, and Concubine Liu came over with a smile and knocked her back to the old empress dowager Dou: "Oops! My good mother, isn't the prostitute pointing at you? Besides, your daughter is such a top person as Gillian, who is it for her if she is not good? ”

"Good for her? You have such a bad idea for her sake? The old Empress Dowager Dou said angrily.

"It's not the Wanlu who doesn't know whether to live or die! Picking up Gillian and kidnapping the little slut's brother, without him jumping up and down, how could we do this? Concubine Liu hurriedly splashed a basin of dirty water on Wan Lu, and skimmed herself and Gillian cleanly.

"Discipline your subordinates well in the future, don't do such a foolish thing again!" Empress Dowager Dou's face was a little pale.

"That's nature! That's nature! Concubine Liu hurriedly responded, "Queen Mother, what about the two people in the Tingwei Mansion?" Liu asked worriedly.

"Alas! The mourning family is smart, I really don't know how to give birth to your foolish daughter! The mourning family in prison has already arranged someone to deal with it, and when you think about it, I'm afraid you can't count on anything! "The old Empress Dowager Dou said.

Hearing this, Liu Yan smiled: "Thank you Queen Mother!" Or is the queen mother the best for prostitutes, and Gillian didn't come over to thank her grandmother soon? ”

Seeing that Gillian bowed her head and was silent, the old Empress Dowager Dou couldn't help but scold: "Gillian, the mourning family has warned you that the most important thing for today's plan is to give birth to a dragon heir, not to be jealous with Wei Zifu, why don't you listen?" ”

"Grandmother, how could Gillian not listen to her grandmother? It's just, it's just..."Gillian didn't know how to say that she couldn't get a good time.

"Just what? It's just that you can't tolerate Wei Zifu in your eyes, so you want to compete! The old empress dowager Dou said in an accentuated tone, "You are now the queen of the Han Dynasty, once you give birth to a dragon son, you will be the crown prince of the Han Dynasty, what do you want to fight with a mere Wei Zifu?" Men's nature is to like the new and hate the old, and in a few years, the emperor will have new people by his side, do you still plan to get rid of them one by one? ”

Gillian was silent, and Concubine Liu nodded again and again, "Gillian, this matter must be listened to by your grandmother, this is indeed the reason, once you give birth to the prince, what are you worried about?" ”

Gillian said, "Mother, the Dragonborn is not something I can do alone!" ”

When Concubine Liu heard this, she understood a little in her heart, and said to the old Empress Dowager Dou: "Queen Mother, now Che'er is dizzy by that little slut, how can she go on like this?" It has to be in Gillian's Jiaofang Palace. ”

"Alas!" The old Empress Dowager Dou sighed and said slowly: "Che'er has always been in the Jiaofang Hall all these years, and now it seems that the problem is not Che'er, but Gillian!" ”

Concubine Liu was taken aback and asked, "What does the queen mother mean by this?" ”

The old Empress Dowager Dou said: "Che'er and Gillian have not been married for many years, and Wei Zifu Chenghuan has been pregnant several times, so it seems that Gillian has lost her own physique!" ”

When Concubine Liu heard this, her heart was in turmoil, and she asked anxiously: "Is there a good way for the queen mother?" ”

The old Empress Dowager Dou said lightly: "If there was a good prescription, it would have been handed over to you a long time ago, why are you still talking about it here?" ”

Seeing Gillian and Concubine Liu's sad faces, the old Empress Dowager Dou was relieved: "The prince's affairs are not a day's work, and it will take some time to slowly search for a good prescription, and use your mind on this in the future, don't make trouble for the mourning family!" ”

Concubine Liu glanced at Gillian who bowed her head and was silent, and responded: "Don't worry, the queen mother!" ”

-----

"Sister..."Wei Qing in the Zhaoyang Hall slowly opened his eyes, saw Wei Zifu staring at him anxiously, and couldn't help but say, "Why am I here?" In a trance, he remembered that he had followed Wan Lu into the Jiaofang Hall and had seen Chen Ajiao.

"Qing'er, you're finally awake!" When Wei Zifu saw Wei Qing wake up, his heart finally let go, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Sister, what's going on?" Wei Qing sat up and asked recallingly.

Wei Zifu took the soft pillow for Wei Qing to lean on, and said with concern: "Qing'er, you are so resting, you were drugged in Jiaofang Palace, and it was Brother Gongsun who saved you." ”

As soon as Wei Zifu said this, many images gradually became clear in Wei Qing's mind.

"Qing'er, on the way to the Jiaofang Palace, you met Brother Gongsun, and he noticed something strange at that time, and hurriedly came to the palace to inform me. I asked Cai Xi to go to Your Majesty to save you, because I was afraid that something would happen to you, Brother Gongsun went to Jiaofang Hall to investigate first, and saw that they put you in a wooden box and were about to transport you out of the palace, Brother Gongsun didn't care about his own safety, desperately stopped them, and finally waited until His Majesty went over to save you. ”

Listening to Wei Zifu's words, Wei Qing slowly sorted out his thoughts, "Sister, where is Brother Gongsun?" ”

"After sending you back to Zhaoyang Palace, Brother Gongsun will go back first, he is also injured, you have to go over tomorrow to have a look." Wei Zifu said.

"It's going to pass!" Wei Qing nodded and said, "If I hadn't met my brother this time, Qing'er would have lost her life." Thinking of the situation in the Jiaofang Palace, Wei Qing had palpitations.

"Your Majesty has arrived!" A voice sounded outside the hall, "It's so late, why did Your Majesty come over?" Wei Qing hurriedly got up to greet him.

"No need to be polite!" Liu Che walked into the hall quickly, helped Wei Qing up, and said, "I have wronged you today!" ”

Wei Qing hurriedly said: "Your Majesty's words are serious, and you have disturbed Your Majesty, is it Wei Qing's!" ”

Hearing Wei Qing say this, a hint of apology flashed in Liu Che's eyes, and he asked Wei Zifu, "Wei Qing is in good health, right?" ”

Wei Zifu replied softly: "Thank you Your Majesty for your concern, now that the drug has passed, Qing'er is fine." ”

"That's good!" Liu Che nodded, and said slowly, "I have already disposed of Wanlu, but I have to take care of the Empress Dowager in the Jiaofang Palace, so..." Liu Che sighed and said with a solemn expression: "But Wei Qing, I have written down the grievances you suffered today, and I will definitely compensate you in the future!" ”

Wei Zifu shook his head lightly, looked at Liu Che and said in a good voice: "Your Majesty treats Zifu and Wei Qing very kindly, and our sister and brother feel it in our hearts, and we don't need any compensation." After that, he touched the bulging abdomen and said peacefully, "The husband only hopes that the child is safe, and the child is safe, and it is enough!" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Wei Qing also said sincerely, "Wei Qing only wishes that her sister and children are well, so she has nothing to ask for!" ”

"Son-in-law... Wei Qing! Liu Che bowed his head lightly and said movingly: "It is my luck to have you by my side!" ”
