"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Zhen Qingyu had already blushed and glared at Zhen Ruxue fiercely. The latter looked innocent and did not understand what he had said wrong. But...... Brother Yun looks so beautiful when he laughs, it's even more beautiful than a woman!

Along the way, everything was in order, and the people along the way were overjoyed to receive relief food, at least temporarily surviving the immediate crisis. Although the water level in the wells is decreasing, it is barely enough to maintain daily drinking. If the drought continues, it will be difficult to say!

After the report, Zhen Qingyu seemed to have something to say, but it seemed difficult to speak, and after thinking about it for a long time, he said carefully: "Your Majesty, the minister has a sentence, I don't know whether to say it or not." ”

Tanglin Guyun smiled: "Master Hou just said." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty. Zhen Qingyu thanked him, "Your Majesty, the ministers have come all the way, and they have heard a lot of folk discussions, saying that the reason for the three-year drought in Yulin Country is because the queen has been nowhere to come out, and there is no successor to the country, so it has attracted the curse ......of God."

"A bunch of nonsense!" Tanglin Guyun's face changed instantly, and he slammed the table and scolded, "The drought is a natural disaster, what does it have to do with the queen? It's all ignorant nonsense, it's really hateful!"

"The minister lost his words, the emperor forgives the sin!" Zhen Qingyu was startled, and immediately slipped off the chair and knelt on the ground, "The minister has no words, offended the queen's mother, please punish the emperor!"

Zhen Ruxue was still looking at Donglin Guyun and thinking about it, but she was already frightened by the loud noise, and then knelt down: "Brother Yun, what are you going to do? Don't kill your father! The emperor can't kill people indiscriminately!"

"Ru Xue, don't be rude!" Zhen Qingyu scolded, but sincerely admitted his mistake, "It's Daddy who shouldn't talk nonsense, he deserves to be punished!"

Tanglin Guyun took a deep breath and suppressed his anger, and actually got up to help: "Hou Ye, please get up quickly, I don't mean to blame, I just anger those ignorant people, and it has nothing to do with Hou Ye." ”

Zhen Qingyu got up and thanked him, and pulled Zhen Ruxue up by the way. Waving his hand to signal the two of them to sit down again, Tanglin Guyun sighed and said: "Lord Hou doesn't know, in fact, the method of asking the two countries for support to temporarily overcome the crisis was proposed by the queen, if it weren't for her, I wouldn't have thought of it for a while." What's more, the reason why I was able to take back this country that day was that the queen should be the first to take the credit! How could she incur the curse of heaven for making so many contributions to the country and country of Yulin?"

"Yes!" Zhen Qingyu nodded, "The minister has always respected the queen like an immortal, and there is no blasphemy. It's just that this rumor is getting stronger and stronger among the people, and the minister is worried that it will have a negative impact on Niangniang's reputation. ”

Tanglin Guyun nodded, and had regained his apparent calm: "Master Hou has a heart." After three years of drought, the people could not continue, and it was inevitable that there would be random speculation and some rumors under panic. Fortunately, now that the support of the two countries has arrived, as long as they help the people to support until the sky falls, the rumors will naturally be self-defeating. ”

accidentally angered the Son of Heaven, where did Zhen Qingyu dare to say more, he immediately nodded yes again and again, and after a few words of greeting, he withdrew with Zhen Ruxue. After walking a little farther, Zhen Ruxue snorted and said dissatisfiedly: "Brother Yun is too much! Those words were not said by Daddy, why is he so angry?"

Zhen Qingyu glared at her and reprimanded her, "The emperor is the son of heaven, how can we as courtiers stare at him and look at him?"

"Huh, really?" Zhen Ruxue was startled, and couldn't help but stick out her tongue, but after a while, she snorted unconvinced, "I don't believe it! Brother Yun will definitely not cut off my head, otherwise he wouldn't be so happy laughing!"

Zhen Qingyu snorted: "The emperor is thinking of my past merits, so he opened up to you, but you can't be pampered and arrogant because of this, otherwise you will cause a big disaster sooner or later!"

Zhen Ruxue was silent, her eyes flickering slightly, obviously thinking of something. After a while, she spoke with some grievances: "Daddy, I really want to say it before I have time to say it! You should remember that Brother Yun said that when I grow up, he will ......."

"Shut up!" Zhen Qingyu immediately stopped her, and looked at each other back and forth, left and right, with a very serious expression, "Ru Xue, never mention that sentence again, understand? This is the imperial city, not the border pass, no matter what words will reach the emperor's ears! Once he hears it, it will really be endless!"

Zhen Ruxue was stunned for a moment, and there were tears in her eyes: "But ...... But I've been waiting for Brother Yun for so many years, for his words, I work hard every day, hard to grow, and now that I've finally grown up, can't I do everything?"

Seeing his daughter's sad appearance, Zhen Qingyu naturally felt uncomfortable in his heart, and couldn't help sighing: "Ru Xue, why don't you understand? At that time, the emperor was still young and didn't understand anything at all. So that sentence is just a joke, how to do it? I advised you not to be delusional, but if you don't listen, you won't be able to change anything in the end?"

Zhen Ruxue bit her lip, tears finally flowed, but she stubbornly refused to give up: "How can it be wishful thinking? I never thought of monopolizing Brother Yun, this harem is so big, is there no place for me?"

Zhen Qingyu shook his head: "Ru Xue, you don't understand." The size of the harem is not important, the important thing is that the emperor has already made an oath that he will not have any women except the queen! Dad advises you to die as soon as possible! Accompany the king like a tiger, and Dad is unwilling to let you enter the palace. ”

"But the queen hasn't come out for three years!" Zhen Xueru blurted out, "Everyone says it's a curse, Brother Yun......"

"Shut up, shut up, my little ancestor!" Zhen Qingyu's face turned pale with fright, and he rushed over and covered her mouth tightly, "Didn't you see the emperor's face full of murder when I said the word "heaven's curse?" You still dare to say such a thing?!

Zhen Ruxue blinked, obviously a little afraid. But after a while, she slapped Zhen Qingyu's hand away, and hummed in a low voice: "If you don't say it, you won't say it! But that's the truth, it's not that Brother Yun can't exist if he doesn't let him say it! No matter how good the queen is, she can't complete the most important mission, so I don't believe that Brother Yun will continue like this! Even if he is willing, the Queen Mother and her old people are not willing, the ministers are not willing, and the people are even more unwilling!"

Zhen Qingyu was silent and didn't say anything.

In the imperial study, Tanglin Guyun rubbed his eyebrows lightly, and his mood that had just been relaxed fell to the bottom again.

He had already known about the folk discussions, but when he heard Zhen Qingyu mention it in person, he still felt unbearable - anyone insulting Duanmu Youning was unbearable for him, not to mention that the responsibility for this matter did not lie with her at all.

Duanmu Youning tried his best to help him regain the world, and made suggestions to alleviate the disaster, but in the end, not only did he not get any benefits, but he was wronged by others, which is the root cause of all disasters? If there is really a curse, those who spread rumors should also be condemned!

But then again, since Duanmu Youning is in good health, why hasn't he come out of it for three years? Is there really something strange about this? What could it be?

If the drought still does not ease after the food supported by the two countries is eaten, then he will not be able to explain it in front of the ministers, the queen mother, or the people, and maybe at that time, he will really have to take the most reluctant step!

But that day, he made an oath to Duanmu Youning, claiming that he would "be a couple for the rest of his life", and he would never abandon him for the rest of his life, but now the words are still in his ears, so how can he bear to turn his back?

Although Duanmu Youning repeatedly suggested that he Guangli concubine, he knew how bitter she was when she said these words, because she was not willing, but she didn't want to bear the infamy, and she didn't want the people to suffer!

Is it necessary to renounce the solemn oath of the day for the sake of a beautiful fantasy?

As for Zhen Xueru, this girl's mind Donglin Guyun knows it well. When he was young, he didn't know that he was burdened with deep hatred, and when he saw Zhen Xueru's pink and tender and Yuxue's cuteness, he solemnly said that he would marry her when she grew up.

Now more than ten years have passed, and the original doll has become a young girl, but everything is not yesterday, and that joke has long been dispersed with the wind - but for him, Zhen Xueru followed Zhen Qingyu back to Beijing this time, obviously because of that sentence, but unfortunately, he already has someone he really loves, and there is no place for her in his heart.

But it is undeniable that although Zhen Xueru, who has grown up, is not as beautiful and vulgar as Duanmu Youning, she has her own moving and smart charm, which can make him unconsciously relaxed......

"No, what am I thinking? I already have Youning, I don't want anyone else!" Suddenly realizing what he was thinking, Tanglin Guyun's eyes froze, and he suddenly got up and left, "Youning, don't worry, no matter what, I will never fail you, never!"

Fang Cai's gloomy expression was a little wrong, blaming himself for only caring about the joy of the bed first, and then running to see Zhen Qingyu, but she didn't have time to ask carefully, she must be sad, right?

Thinking all the way, he hurried to the Tianfeng Palace. Hearing the news of the servant, Xiangnan hurriedly came over to greet him: "The slave and maid see the emperor!"

"No courtesy. Tanglin Guyun looked around, "What about Youning?"

"If you go back to the emperor, the queen mother is not in the palace," Shonan replied with a bowed head, "said that she was going out for a walk, and she has been walking for a while." ”

Tanglin Guyun's face sank: "In this case, why are you here? Didn't I explain that I want to take good care of the queen?"

"It's the queen who doesn't want the slave to follow," Shonan hurriedly replied, "She ordered the slave and maid to stay here, saying that if the emperor asked, she would say that she would come back soon, so please don't worry about the emperor." ”
