At the beginning of the palace lamp, the shadows of the trees swayed, leaking a small piece of moonlight. Liu Che stepped on the moonlight and walked into the Hehuan Palace, and the palace people were about to pass through, but Liu Che gave up and walked into the hall gently.

"Hmm... Hmm..."The faint candlelight in the hall reflected the light moonlight, Wang Yi was shaking the cradle to coax Liu Hong to sleep, Liu Che's heart moved, and he quietly stepped forward, "Is my Hong'er asleep?" ”

Wang Yi was shocked when he heard this, turned his head and saw that Liu Che had entered the inner hall at some point, and was about to get up to salute Liu Che and apologize: "I didn't scare you, did I?" ”

Wang Yi shook his head and said, "No, Your Majesty came unfortunately, Hong'er just ate milk and fell asleep." ”

Liu Che looked at Liu Hong in the cradle and said with a smile: "The children all eat and sleep, sleep and eat, I almost forgot about it, and the same is true when my base is so old." ”

"Hong'er Miyue is simple, you won't blame me, right?" Liu Che asked softly.

Wang Yi shook his head and said incorrectly: "The Queen Mother is sick, and Hong'er should be simple." ”

"The queen has told me." Liu Che praised, "It's rare for you to be so reasonable. ”

Thinking of what Liu Ling said, Wang Yi hesitated for a while, and finally said: "Your Majesty, there is something that the concubine does not know whether to talk about or not. ”

Liu Che said: "What's the matter? But it doesn't hurt for you to say it. ”

Wang Yi hesitated and said, "What the concubine said is related to the queen..."

"Something to do with the Queen?" Liu Che's eyes flashed with some doubts, and said, "You can tell me." ”

"The concubine maid told the concubine that some time ago she bumped into the queen and a guard in private exchanges, parting with a token of gifts, the concubine thought that this matter is related to the queen's reputation, if it is really something, wouldn't it be embarrassing to Your Majesty..." ”

"This matter is about Your Majesty, and the concubines dare not deceive." Wang Yi said, "If Your Majesty doesn't believe it, you can call the maidservant to come and ask." ”

"No need!" Liu Che's heart was cold, no wonder he would intercede for a small guard some time ago, it turned out that he had already had an affair, thinking of this, Liu Che waved his shirt and said angrily, "I will find out." After saying that, only a back was left in anger, and Wang Yi smiled unconsciously.

-----

The moonlight was as cold as frost, and even the cornices of the palace were a little cool, Liu Che's face was cold, and he sat in the center of the Chengming Palace, "Gongsun Ao, I finally asked you, do you have a private meeting with the queen?" ”

"Your Majesty, the queen is virtuous, how can you have a private meeting with your subordinates?" Gongsun Ao cut the railway, "Your Majesty, don't listen to the villain's words!" ”

"You don't need to tell me whether the queen is virtuous or not!" Liu Che covered his face with frost and said, "Come on, search his body first!" ”

The little yellow door on the side immediately stepped forward and held it, and after a while, he found a green jade earring worn by a woman from Gongsun Ao's arms, and the little yellow door hurriedly presented it to Liu Che and said: "Your Majesty, please see!" ”

Liu Che took the earrings and took a closer look, and said angrily: "Gongsun Ao, you are so bold!" It seems that I don't need to search your residence, this jade earring is a gift from me to the queen, how can it be on you? ”

Seeing this, Gongsun Ao hurriedly explained: "Your Majesty, some time ago, the queen sent food to Your Majesty, and the minister happened to meet, because the minister and Wei Qing were familiar with each other, so the queen stopped and talked to the minister. After the queen left, the minister found the green jade earrings on the ground, and was trying to catch up, but the queen had already gone away, so the minister had been with him, thinking about going to the Jiaofang Hall to hand over to the girl Caixi in the past few days, but he didn't expect to cause this big disaster, and asked His Majesty to know it! ”

"Since you know it's the queen's, why don't you hand it over early in the morning?" Liu Che said coldly, "If I hadn't searched for the earrings today, I'm afraid you would have been hiding this thing privately!" ”

"Your Majesty..."Gongsun Ao was speechless.

"Someone, pass on the queen!"

-----

"The concubine has seen Your Majesty!" Wei Zifu was suddenly introduced into the hall, and when he saw Gongsun Ao kneeling on one side, he didn't know what happened, and when he saw the ceremony, he asked, "Your Majesty, I don't know what happened to Gongsun Ao's guards?" ”

"What did you do?" Liu Che looked at Wei Zifu and said, "Doesn't the queen know?" ”

Wei Zifu was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly leaned over and said, "The concubine doesn't know what Your Majesty means?" ”

"I don't know what it means?" Liu Che sneered, threw the green jade earrings in front of Wei Zifu, and said, "The queen takes a good look, this earring is your thing?" ”

Wei Zifu picked up the earrings and said puzzledly: "It's indeed a concubine's thing, but I accidentally lost one some time ago, I don't know how it ended up in the hands of His Majesty?" ”

"Not in my hands." Liu Che looked at Gongsun Ao, "The earrings are on him!" ”

"Gongsun Guard?" Wei Zifu couldn't help but look puzzled when he heard this.

"Isn't it a gift from the queen?" Liu Che looked at Wei Zifu, and then at Gongsun Ao, with a suspicious expression.

"Naturally not!" Wei Zifu shook his head and denied, "How can the things of the concubines be given to the Gongsun guards?" ”

"Really, not?"

"Not really!" Wei Zifu said, "Doesn't Your Majesty trust your concubines?" ”

"I naturally believe in the Queen!" Liu Che's tone changed suddenly, and he looked at Gongsun Ao and said, "But I can't believe you!" ”

"Since the queen accidentally lost it, you should return it immediately, why do you want to keep this thing with you for many days?" Liu Che said coldly, "Someone in the palace reported to me that you had a private meeting with the queen, and now that the queen's reputation has been damaged, what crime should you be guilty of?" ”

"Your Majesty! It is because of the minister's carelessness that the villain can take advantage of it, the minister's life and death are small, and the queen's reputation is big. Gongsun Ao Fu said, "Please give your majesty a sin!" ”

"Your Majesty!" Seeing this, Wei Zifu hurriedly pleaded, "Your Majesty, this matter arose because the concubine accidentally lost her earrings, please spare the Gongsun guard!" ”

"Hmph..."Liu Che was noncommittal, although he knew something about the beginning and end of the matter in his heart, but after all, the queen had a private relationship with a guard, and it would be undignified if it was passed out.

"Your Majesty!" It was at the time of the stalemate that someone suddenly said: "This matter is all because of the slave maid!" ”

Wei Zifu was startled when she heard this, turned her head to look, and sure enough, it was Cai Xi, she said on the ground: "Queen, the slave knows that the queen protects the slave and the maid, but this matter is related to the queen's reputation, and the slave and maid can't help but tell the truth." ”

Liu Che was surprised when he heard this: "What does it have to do with you?" ”

"Your Majesty, the slave maid is the queen's personal service, and the grandson guard and the slave maid are close to each other privately, so they picked up the earrings and did not return them to the queen in time. The queen cares about the slave maid, but the slave and maid can't harm the queen, and please punish Your Majesty! ”

Wei Zifu knew that Cai Xi was trying to show his innocence, but now if he explained again, it would not only be useless, but it would be self-defeating, so he had to say: "It's the concubine who has no way to discipline him, please punish Your Majesty!" ”

"Hahaha!" Liu Che laughed instead of anger when he heard this, "I see! I almost blamed the queen. Liu Che said to Wei Zifu: "Queen, you are hiding it from them together, but yours is not!" ”

"Get up and talk!" Liu Che said with a smile, "Since the two of you are in love, I might as well get married, so as not to have private contacts in the future and affect the queen's reputation." ”

As soon as these words came out, Gongsun Ao and Cai Xi were at a loss, looking at each other, but fortunately Cai Xi was clever, and hurriedly pulled Gongsun Ao to kneel down and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty!" ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Gongsun Ao had a lot of thoughts in his heart, but he had no other way but to thank him for it.

Wei Zifu looked at Gongsun Ao and Cai Xi, and there was no way to talk about thousands of thoughts for a while, so he had to bow down and say, "Thank you, Your Majesty!" ”

-----

In late autumn, there are yellow leaves everywhere, and a gust of wind blows through the sky, making it more and more bleak and deserted. In the gloomy sky, a thick cloud was accumulated, and with a few lightning bolts streaking across the sky, a shower was imminent.

"Wang Yi, I ask you, is what you said to me about the queen's private meeting true before?" Liu Che's face in the Hehuan Hall was as gloomy as the sky outside.

Wang Yi looked at Liu Che's face, panicked in her heart, and her expression became more and more hesitant, "Concubine... What the concubine said is true. ”

"Is that true?" Liu Che sneered, and said in an accentuated tone: "For the sake of Hong'er's affection, I will ask you again, and it will be the last time, is the matter of the queen's private meeting true?" ”

Liu Che's eyes were sharp, staring at Wang Yi's expression became more and more severe, Wang Yi was already timid and afraid, and he didn't dare to hide it when he saw this, his legs fell to his knees, and he couldn't cry: "Your Majesty!" The concubine is guilty! It's the concubine who is confused! I beg Your Majesty to spare the concubine, this matter is not the concubine's idea! ”

"Not your idea? Could it be that someone else is still instructing? Liu Che heard what Wang Yi said, and couldn't help but ask angrily.

Wang Yi nodded with tears in her eyes, and sobbed: "The concubine instigated Liu Ling, the lord of Huainan, and made this mistake in a moment of confusion, so I beg Your Majesty to be merciful and spare the concubine!" ”

"Huainan Weng Lord Liu Ling?" Liu Che became more and more surprised, "Why did she instigate you and the queen?" ”

Wang Yi sobbed: "Liu Ling told the concubine that the queen's face is black and compassionate, and Hong'er Miyue is the queen's doing, and with the queen, the concubine and Hong'er will have no place to stand in the future!" ”

"Ridiculous!" Liu Che took the case and said angrily, "Hong'er is my prince, with me, who dares to let him have no place to stand?" Empress Hong'er Miyue had asked me how to arrange it, and it was I who made everything simple. It's hateful that this Liu Ling dares to stir up trouble in my harem, how can I tolerate it? ”

"Boom..."A dazzling lightning flashed, a burst of thunder suddenly sounded, and Liu Hong, who was sleeping in the cradle, was suddenly awakened, "Wow...", and cried loudly, Wang Yi hurriedly stepped forward to pick up the child and coaxed gently. Looking at Liu Hong's small face and crystal tears, Wang Yi seemed to have decided one thing, picked up the child and knelt down in front of Liu Che and said: "Your Majesty, the concubine knows that falsely accusing the queen is a capital crime, and the concubine still has something to tell Your Majesty, I dare not ask Your Majesty to spare the concubine, I only ask Your Majesty to treat Hong'er well in the future!" ”

Liu Che was still angry, and said coldly: "Hong'er is my son, no matter what crime you commit, I will not treat him badly." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Wang Yi wiped her tears and said: "The ancestor of the concubine was the Zhao Guoren, because she was in the capital and sold flowers on the street to live, and one day she met Liu Ling, she saw that the concubine was delicate and well-spoken, so she dedicated the concubine to the Queen Mother to get close to Your Majesty. ”

Liu Che's face became more and more gloomy when he heard this, and he interrupted: "In exchange, you have to obey her in everything, right?" ”

Wang Yi nodded and said, "Not only that, over the years, Liu Ling has also asked his concubines to inform her of the movements in the palace, His Majesty's words and deeds, and everything in detail. ”

"What? You still have to tell her about the movements in the palace, my words and deeds, everything in detail? Liu Che's face turned pale, and he said to Wang Yi in a cold voice: "Do you know that if you fail, you will commit a meticulous crime?" ”

"The concubine knows!" Wang Yi burst into tears, "The concubines are frightened and scared all day long, how can Liu Ling have the handle of the concubines in her hands, and the concubines dare not speak out." Wang Yi glanced at Liu Hong in his arms, choked up, and said: "Now that the concubine has Hong'er, the concubine does not want to implicate Hong'er in the future because of this matter, so she listened to what Your Majesty said, and the concubine was also relieved." ”

"The concubine has said everything she has to say, please ask Your Majesty to condemn it!" After Wang Yi finished speaking, his face sank like water and he didn't say a word.

Liu Che was thoughtful, his face was solemn, and after a long time, he slowly asked, "Liu Ling asked you about the matter between me and the palace, but why?" ”

"This concubine doesn't know." Wang Yi shook his head and said, "Liu Ling never expressed his intentions to the concubine, but only asked the concubine to keep an eye on the movements in the palace, and informed her if there was anything. ”

Liu Che bowed his head slightly and pondered for a moment, and said: "Today's matter, for Hong'er's sake, it should not have happened, and you will do it yourself in the future!" ”

Wang Yi didn't seem to believe his ears, he was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, and then he was overjoyed, and thanked him: "Thank you, Your Majesty!" Thank you, Your Majesty! ”

"Also, don't confide in Liu Ling about today's events." Liu Che's expression was grim, and he said in a deep voice: "The movements in the palace, my behavior, you tell her as usual. ”

"Your Majesty?" Wang Yi was puzzled, and Liu Che said coldly: "You will do what I ask you to do." ”

Wang Yi looked at Liu Che's unpredictable face, and although he had many doubts in his heart, he still said respectfully: "No! ”

-----

"Zhang Tang!" In the Xuan Room Palace, Liu Che's expression was grim and chilling.

"The minister is here!" Zhang Tang stepped forward and said respectfully: "What is the matter with Your Majesty's summoning of Weichen?" ”

"Investigate with me carefully Liu Ling, the lord of Huainan, who you make friends with in Chang'an City, who you move around frequently, and report to me quickly!"

"No!" Zhang Tang leaned over and answered.

"Send a detailed work to infiltrate Huainan again, and find out what Liu An, the king of Huainan, has done in recent years, no matter how big or small, I want to know!" Liu Che's face sank like water, and he said coldly.

Zhang Tang seemed to be thoughtful when he heard this, and said in a deep voice: "The minister obeys the order!" ”
