The next day, the new emperor ascended the throne and announced to the world.

The panicked hearts of the people in Beijing were quickly pacified. People like the Prime Minister's Mansion, who have had all kinds of disputes and all kinds of infighting, have also quickly contained the disputes within a very small scope like the Prime Minister's House, and have not let outsiders see the jokes.

There has been no great chaos in the world, and there should still be order.

Ruan Qingzhi asked people to send a prescription to Chunhui Courtyard to calm the nerves, and by the way, on the grounds that the old lady was old and sick, she handed over the daily trivial matters in the house to Chu Jianniang to deal with.

Chu Jianniang is grateful to Dade. The Liu family was quite unconvinced, but her prestige in the eyes of her subordinates was not as good as Chu Jianniang, and she only gave birth to Ruan Hongyu and raised a daughter, so there was nothing to fight for.

After recognizing the situation, the Liu family simply didn't grab it or make trouble, and came to Chu Jianniang with a smile to show goodwill, but it was all right.

The rest of the concubines who have no birth or even a name have to go out to get married, and some have to stay and guard, after Chu Jianniang asked Ruan Qingzhi, they were all sent according to their own wishes, and everything went smoothly.

Without men, the women in the house have no need to be jealous, and they have all become gentle and kind, and the atmosphere in the house is very harmonious.

It's just that these things have nothing to do with Ruan Qingzhi. The injuries on her body did not improve for a long time, but the redness and swelling became worse and worse, and on the third day, she began to have a fever again, and she could not go out.

The whole house was worried about her, Ruan Qingzhi didn't take it to heart, and simply closed the door to thank the guests, and slept in the room all day long.

The night cold didn't come for a few days.

Ruan Qingzhi thought at first that now that he is the emperor, he must make fun of him when he comes, to see if he is still the same as before.

Later, after waiting too long, she didn't have such a mind, she just thought that she was used to the loneliness of the deep palace and didn't look forward to him.

On the evening of the fifth day, Chu Jianniang came to say hello, and said with a spring breeze on her face that Ruan Suying's injury had been healed, but Ruan Qingzhi's heart was not a good feeling.

Ruan Suying's weak body can already move as usual, and of course the night cold will not be inconvenient because of that injury. So why did he not even send a single message for so many days?

It can't really be as others speculated, because she has become ugly, and her color is declining and she loves relaxation, right?

Ruan Qingzhi felt blushing again when he thought about it, and after laughing at himself fiercely in his heart, he continued to sleep with his head covered, and refused to pay attention to the news outside.

Who knew that this night I slept very unsteadily, while feeling groggy that my whole body was not my own, and on the other hand, I felt very conscious, and I could even hear clearly when the first wind and the first drop of rain fell outside the window.

So what's going on? Could it be that the fate of this life is strange, and she only needs to help Yehan ascend the throne, even if her merits are complete, and she can fly home?

Ruan Qingzhi didn't believe that she had such good luck, she preferred to believe that it was bigger trouble coming.

Sure enough, at the third watch, she was keenly aware that there was one more person outside the tent.

It's not her girl with the clouds and the moon, and of course it's not the night cold, but a strange existence that she doesn't have in her memory at all.

She tried to speak, or move her fingers, but she couldn't.

This is obviously a very bad sign. Ruan Qingzhi's hair suddenly stood on end, and he quickly thought in his heart: It can't be Ruan Biyun's soul immortal, and she wants to snatch her body again, right?

That's bad!

Before Ruan Qingzhi could come up with a countermeasure, a soft sigh sounded outside the tent.

But it was a man's voice.

Ruan Qingzhi was even more confused: How could there be a man in her yard? Cheng Hu, they're guarding outside! The officers and men of the Northwest Army keep vigil at night, so that they can't be seen by a big living person, right?

The more Ruan Qingzhi thought about it, the more puzzled he became, the more he thought about it, the more suspicious he became, he was so frightened that he even forgot to breathe, and concentrated all his energy to pay attention to the outside of the tent, for fear that the uninvited guest would suddenly become difficult.

The other party didn't make a fuss, just leaned over slowly, and then sat down on the edge of the bed.

Lecher?!

Ruan Qingzhi was suddenly startled again.

Immediately relieved: she is like this, she will be disgusted when she looks in the mirror, if there is really a disciple who can do it, she can only clasp her hands into fists and call "strong man".

Ruan Qingzhi felt very relieved, so when the disciple reached out to touch her face, she was completely frightened.

What a strong man?!

That's a bad thing! Ruan Qingzhi was so anxious that she wanted to cry.

This disciple is a strong man, but she doesn't want to be a strong man! She hasn't gotten her phoenix seal yet, this kind of thing...... It's inconvenient to do this kind of stealing and touching dogs, right?

"The appearance has changed, but the temperament is still the same." A low sigh sounded beside the bed, and the voice was as ethereal as the wind.

Ruan Qingzhi stopped his cranky thoughts and pricked up his ears.

Only then did she realize that the pain and itch that had tormented her for five or six days had completely disappeared, and her whole body was so comfortable that she could not speak. Especially on the face, it is cool and cool, as if a handful of cold water has been taken in summer, and the refreshing energy penetrates straight into the bones.

No miracle doctor can do this, unless, it is an immortal.

This also explains why this person was able to walk in unimpeded under the nose of the Northwest Army.

Ruan Qingzhi felt the man's slightly cool and smooth fingers slowly glide across her forehead like a white jade pendant, stopping on her cheeks like a dragonfly and then moving away.

It seems to be pitiful and teasing, and it is meaningful.

Si Ming Shenjun would not do such a thing to her. So who exactly is this "man"?

Ruan Qingzhi wanted to open his eyes and see, but he couldn't.

I heard the man's voice in my ears again, still ethereal as if there was a veil through it: "I only know that you are playful by nature and refuse to accompany me, a long-term sick person, but I don't know that you have experienced nine lifetimes of joys and sorrows in the world." I owe you this after all. ”

Ruan Qingzhi's heart beat wildly.

The coolness on his face disappeared. The man removed his hand and sighed, "Fortunately, you're coming back." I have ordered someone to rearrange the Moon Washing Hall, I hope you will like it. ”

The bed board moved slightly, Ruan Qingzhi only felt that the air around her sank, and it was the person who approached, put it in her ear and whispered: "Si Ming Shenjun said that you have forgotten, I don't believe it." My Lizhu is the most affectionate, even if I forget all things in heaven and earth, it is impossible to forget me. ”

Ruan Qingzhi felt a chill in his heart.

Thankfully, the stranger didn't make any more intimate moves. The cool breath lingered in her ears for a moment, and then moved away.

Ruan Qingzhi was about to breathe a sigh of relief, when he heard him say again: "Lizhu, I'm here to tell you the good news: you don't need to survive until the end of your life in this life, as long as—"

"Who?!" There was a sudden shout outside the door.

Ruan Qingzhi shuddered in fright and woke up.

When I opened my eyes, I saw that the originally low-hanging tent had lifted a corner, and the wind was blowing in, which was slightly cool.

Naturally, there was no one in front of the bed. The smoke curling in the animal stove and the sound of rain outside the window were extraordinarily peaceful.

Ruan Qingzhi sat up on the pillow and heard the hurried footsteps outside. She thought about it for a while, and remembered that it seemed to be Cheng Hu's shout that woke her up just now.

So, did someone really break in?

This does not bode well. Ruan Qingzhi reached out and touched the robe and draped it on his body, and hurriedly got up and got out of bed.

Before he could take two steps, he heard the door open, followed by Ye Han's voice rushing in with a cool air: "Did you wake you up?" It's okay, it's okay, go back and lie down! ”

Ruan Qingzhi was stunned, Ye Han had already turned the screen and rushed in, and couldn't help but say that he scooped her up and stuffed her into the quilt, and then hurriedly retreated: "I'm cold, I'm not cold to you, right?" ”

Ruan Qingzhi clenched the horns and shuddered, looking at him without speaking.

Ye Han thought for a while, and then explained: "Just now I wanted to look at you outside the window, Cheng Hu, that fool, didn't recognize me, and he roared recklessly, not on purpose to wake you up, I have already scolded him." ”

Ruan Qingzhi still didn't answer, lowered her eyelids and refused to look at him again.

Ye Han was a little embarrassed, so he hurriedly moved a small stool and sat down on the edge of the bed, and asked, "What's wrong?" Angry? Or is there something uncomfortable? I heard Li San say that you haven't been out for the past few days, are you stuffy? ”

Ruan Qingzhi shook his head, dragged the corner of the quilt to cover his face, and said sullenly in the quilt: "You just wanted to look at me outside the window, but now you have exceeded the task, why don't you leave?" ”

Ye Han frowned, tilted his head and thought about it for a long time, but still didn't understand what was going on.

"What do you mean...... Overachieved? Who gave me the task? He asked, tentatively, cautiously.

Ruan Qingzhi said angrily: "Who knows who gave you the task!" Maybe you feel that you have to go this way for the sake of the marriage contract? Anyway, I'm sure you didn't want to come! If you really want to see me, how can you not even send a message for so many days, and how can you not enter the door and only look out the window! You think I'm ugly, don't you? ”

Ye Han understood.

This is a lonely person who has been thinking about it for too long, and has gone to a dead end.

"Qingzhi," he said helplessly, "if I really don't want to see you, why bother to take a look?" It's late at night, isn't it good for me to go back to sleep? ”

Ruan Qingzhi lifted the quilt and was about to quarrel with him, when he suddenly frowned again: "You haven't slept for a few days?" ”

Ye Han hurriedly raised his hand to cover his face: "What, is it ugly?" ”

Ruan Qingzhi raised his hand and drew a large half circle under his lower eyelids: "The dark circles under his eyes are here."

Then he drew another line on his cheek: "This circle of stubble has grown." Do you go and look in the mirror yourself to see if it looks good? ”

Ye Han didn't look in the mirror, he just covered his face in a hurry, and finally simply turned his back and said angrily: "Don't look at it if it's ugly!" It's so easy for me to come here, and you don't have a good word! ”

"Okay, okay," Ruan Qingzhi tugged at the corner of his clothes, "I said it wrong!" My house is the best looking at night cold, it looks good with dark circles, and it looks good with stubble! Unlike me, I was bitten by ants and my face was full of pits, so ugly that I was about to be divorced by my husband's family and expelled from the house by my mother's family! ”

Hearing this, Ye Han hurriedly turned around and asked urgently, "What's the matter?" The Ruan family bullied you? ”

"Not anymore!" Ruan Qingzhi grinned, "I'm fierce!" I've driven away all those restless ones, and now I'm in charge of this family! ”

Ye Han put his mind at ease and smiled: "That's how it should be." ”

Ruan Qingzhi quickly smiled, looked at him and asked, "What are you busy with?" Why hasn't there been news for so long? Is it difficult to be an emperor? ”

Ye Han thought about it, sat down again, and sighed with a smile: "It's not that difficult to be an emperor. The most difficult thing now is that some people want me to be both the emperor and the commander of the Northwest Army. ”

"What do you mean?" Ruan Qingzhi didn't understand.

Ye Han sighed: "Yongning Hou is the opposite. ”

"Who is Yongning Hou?" Ruan Qingzhi immediately lifted the quilt and wanted to sit up.

Ye Han hurriedly held her down and persuaded her: "Don't worry, it's not a big deal." If that old horseman really had the ability to fight with soldiers, it would not have been my turn to go to the battlefield back then. ”

Ruan Qingzhi was really relieved when he heard this, and he hugged the pillow and lay back down.

Ye Han explained to her in detail: "Yongning Hou is Concubine Jiang Xian's father. This time, the palace of Fu'an Palace changed, Lao Qi was implicated and died tragically, and Concubine Jiang Xian fell ill when she heard the news. The Marquis of Yongning was furious and thought that the culprit of this incident was me, so he immediately raised troops in Los Angeles to crusade against me, a 'traitor who killed the king and usurped the throne'. ”

"L.A." Ruan Qingzhi folded his fingers and calculated, his face was ugly: "Los Angeles is raising troops, if the road is smooth, it will be able to enter in about half a month, right?" ”

Ye Han nodded: "So many things have to be stepped up." In addition, there was no one available in the DPRK and China, most of the six ministries were paralyzed, and political affairs were piled up, and it was inevitable that they would be in a hurry for a while. ”

"That's not going to work!" Ruan Qingzhi couldn't lie down, and sat up again: "You can't let you do everything alone, right?" There is no one in the court, what kind of emperor are you going to be! ”

"Don't worry." Ye Han stretched out his hand to hold her, "It's just a little tired, those people in the court don't mean to slack off, it's just that it always takes a little time for everything to start again." ”

Ruan Qingzhi also knew this reason, but when she thought that Ye Han was entangled in those political affairs every day, she felt very uncomfortable.

It didn't have to come to this point, it's all to blame for that Yongning Hou!

Ruan Qingzhi didn't have any impression of Yongning Hou, so he had to carefully recall the complicated relationships in the palace, and it took some effort to remember that the Seventh Prince and the Ninth Emperor seemed to be born from the same mother.

So the Nine Emperors are also the grandsons of the Marquis of Yongning? The Seventh Prince is gone, and he plans to help the Ninth Prince ascend to the throne, right?

Ye Han smiled: "Don't say that. The rebellion of Yongning Hou Xingbing was completely out of righteous indignation, and it was certainly not his original intention to have to help the Nine Emperors ascend to the throne due to the situation. ”

Ruan Qingzhi replied with a "phew".

But seeing that Ye Han was still willing to joke, she knew that things had not yet reached the point where it was difficult to clean up, and gradually put her mind at ease, and began to help him calculate with her fingers crossed: "There are not enough people in the DPRK and China, so you can select and appoint talents as soon as possible, or you can select some of the officials from outside and transfer them back to Beijing; This year's spring is delayed, but the next one does not have to wait until next spring to open Enke, and before the Beijing Central School has not returned to his hometown, it is not necessary to take an additional exam in the summer and autumn......"

Ye Han listened carefully from beginning to end, until Ruan Qingzhi said that he was tired and stopped, and he asked unsatisfactorily: "Is there anything else?" ”

"It's gone!" Ruan Qingzhi said angrily, "You just coax me!" What can I think of, you and those old guys in the DPRK can't think of? ”

"It's not necessarily well thought out, and even if it does, they don't necessarily want to say it." Ye Han said seriously, "At the very least, they must be reluctant to persuade me to promote young talents to occupy their positions." ”

Ruan Qingzhi thought for a while, and nodded again: "It's not, the DPRK has lost so many people, it is a good time for them to show their talents, who is willing to help others fight for their own merits!" And maybe they'll take this opportunity to try to get hold of you - an emperor who is questioned by the whole world for his unjustifiable name is not necessarily a bad thing for the courtiers. ”

Ye Han's face was slightly gloomy when he heard this, and he didn't speak for a long time.

Seeing this, Ruan Qingzhi knew that he had listened, and even if he stopped making noise, he stopped talking and waited for him to think about it.

To be a general and lead troops to fight a war depends on the unity of life and death, and being an emperor to govern the world is not necessarily the same truth.

Monarchs and ministers are not only comrades-in-arms on the same front, but sometimes they can also be enemies who eliminate each other's strengths.

If the king is weak, the minister is strong.

After a long time, Ye Han sighed and nodded: "I understand what you mean." Of course, those old guys who have been up and down for so many years should not be underestimated, but I am not easy to bully. I have arranged everything in the DPRK and China's army, you don't have to worry about it, just rest and recuperate. ”

Ruan Qingzhi nodded in response, but he was still not at ease, and asked him what the arrangements were, whether there were enough garrisons near Shangjing, and so on.

Ye Han caressed her green silk and smiled and groaned: "If there are not enough people, how dare I return to Beijing easily." You just have to put your heart back in your stomach, Shangjing has always been firmly in my hands. ”

Ruan Qingzhi saw that he was full of confidence, and this was a little relieved.

At this time, Qiaolou was already beating the drum of the fourth watch.

Ye Han yawned, and his face could no longer hide his exhaustion. Ruan Qingzhi couldn't help but feel annoyed when he saw this, and he didn't dare to pester him to ask more questions, so he hurriedly motioned for him to hurry up and sleep on the soft couch outside the screen.

Ye Han shook his head, stood up and said with a smile: "I don't know how many pairs of eyes are staring inside and out, queen, reputation matters." ”

Ruan Qingzhi didn't think so, but Yehan insisted on leaving, saying that there were too many things in the court now, and it would be a little less troublesome.

Ruan Qingzhi thought about it for a while, and immediately let him go.

It's just that after watching him walk out and watch him close the door, she felt a little uncomfortable.

After all, it's still different from before.

He's the emperor.

Ruan Qingzhi has met many emperors, and their styles are similar. A while ago, she thought that Ye Han would be an outlier, but now, she didn't dare to make such a guess anymore.

They are all deeply locked palace walls, how different can they be?

Ruan Qingzhi was a little deflated, and suddenly thought of the unfamiliar voice from before, thinking of him saying, "You don't have to survive until the end of your life in this life."

What does this mean?

Was there really such a person who said this, or did she think about it day and night, and she scared herself?

The more Ruan Qingzhi thought about it, the more uneasy she felt, and after tossing and turning for a long time, she finally couldn't lie down, so she simply got up in her clothes and went out.

The lanterns under the eaves had long since been extinguished, and the courtyard was quiet, except for the drizzle dripping.

Ruan Qingzhi stood for a long time, but he didn't realize anything. It was very windy in the night, and she was still shivering from the wind when she wrapped her robe several times, but the parrot under the eaves slept very deeply, and the filamentous cage was steady, and did not shake at all.

"This demon wind is actually eccentric!" Ruan Qingzhi muttered angrily, tightened his clothes, and quickly returned to the room and closed the door.

After that, a figure slowly appeared under the eaves, surrounded by white mist, and the figure and face were all shadowy, and it was not real.

The parrot in the cage jumped up suddenly, as if sensing some danger, and escaped from the cage with a scream, its wings and claws scratching at the window in two layers.
