In Lailang County, Liu Yue was a servant of the wind and dust, and returned to Chang'an City, while Liu Yue hid in the carriage, smelling the fragrance and softening his arms, and he didn't wake up.

In the bumpy carriage, Liu Yu slept in the carriage for twelve hours, and when he woke up the next day, his head was still dizzy. Since the beginning of the disposal of the Three Puritans, he has not slept well, and he feels that his spirit is about to collapse after staying up like this, what he thinks is that he can return to Chang'an City earlier and recuperate for a period of time, so that his body can return to a normal state.

In the carriage, after waking up, Liu Yu talked and laughed with Liu Liniang while waiting for the end of the journey.

“…… To be a prince is to be tired and tired, and there is no good sleep. When you become an emperor, no one has a better life......"

Liu Liniang glanced at him and said, "Then you are still rushing to be it?" ”

Liu Yu touched the stubble on his chin, he hadn't cleaned up properly in the past two days, and he already looked much older.

"I have no choice, I really have to do it, when I go back to Chang'an City, I will hide first, don't care about anything, and wait for my mood to calm down, and then go to the troubled waters...... Alas! ”

When Liu Yu spoke, there was still a slight sense of loss, which Liu Liniang noticed very early.

After quelling the siege of Langxian this time, Liu Liniang found that Liu Yue seemed to have become interested in some things, Liu Yue used to be a madman who was full of enthusiasm and even did a lot of outrageous things, but after this incident, Liu Yue suddenly became low-key, so low-key that she almost didn't recognize it.

"The twelve young men returned to Chang'an City, will they go to the slave family?" Liu Liniang asked like a deep resentful woman.

"Of course, I mean recuperation, not staying away from wine." Liu Yu said with a smile. "Walk around Chang'an City. Scatter your mind. It's also part of the retreat. Only when there is a family can there be a country, and if you settle down first, you will have more confidence in governing the country. ”

Liu Liniang smiled and didn't say anything more. She still feels sad about her situation, she can't be regarded as Liu Yu's wife after all, according to the eyes of secular people, she is just a woman behind Liu Yu's scenes, a woman on the upper stage. She can only hide behind Liu Yu for the rest of her life. Even if she has children with Liu Yue, she will not be treated like Liu Yu gave birth to children for him in the palace.

There is a world of difference between the concubine and the concubine, no matter what era it is.

Fortunately, Liu Liniang also has a little luck, that is, she and Liu Yu's children, or Duo Lin and Mi Er gave birth to children for Liu Yu, can become the leader of the ethnic minorities in southern Xinjiang, and can lead the people of one side to achieve happiness. When she thinks so, she feels better.

In the final analysis, she is just Liu Yu's woman now. It's hard to escape these things.

Liu Yu saw that Liu Liniang was silent in thought. But I don't know that she is thinking about such a "serious" problem. Liu Yu leaned on the soft pillow, and as the carriage bumped up and down, he began to miss the car a little and told the road, at least on it, lying down would not be so uncomfortable. He couldn't even remember how he had slept during those twelve hours.

"It's almost there." Liu Yu looked at the sunset outside, thinking that he was going home soon, and he was looking forward to it. Finally, you don't have to pay attention to those messy things, you can plunge into the inner palace, be with your own women, and don't care about the troubles of the world for a long time.

Liu Yue looked forward to it, but Liu Liniang's expression was helpless. She knew that once she returned to Chang'an City, Liu Yu would no longer accompany her day and night like this, and Liu Yu would have other women to live his own life.

Liu Yu returned to Chang'an City this time, and brought back Huo Yi and the new army, and he walked very slowly on the road, but he was also very careful. When he arrived outside Chang'an City, everything was as before, Liu Yu jumped out of the carriage and looked at the city gate, there were no people to greet him, only people who hurried out of the city and into the city before dark. Liu Yu sighed, and entered the city with Liu Liniang first.

Liu Yu sent Liu Liniang back to his residence first, and he didn't stay that night, and went back to the palace directly. After entering the palace, Liu Yu went directly into the house and did not come out until the next morning.

From afternoon to evening, Han Sheng came first, followed by the people of the Sixth Division, and many military generals, even Chai Jin came to Liu Yu, but no one saw Liu Yu.

The people who came to see Liu Yu learned from the words from the female official that Liu Yu was tired from his trip to Lang County and wanted to come back to recuperate. Liu Yu handed over the matter to Han Sheng to deal with, and some local affairs were directly handed over to the palace, and the newly established "Inner Court Yamen" in the palace was to deal with it.

The so-called "Inner Court Yamen" is a new policy that Liu Yu has been trying to implement before, that is, to pull out his own women and manage some affairs of the country. This is a very unreasonable thing in the eyes of ordinary people who respect the Tao, the inner palace is not allowed to interfere in politics, and it has always been an iron law engraved in the rules of the imperial courts of all dynasties, but Liu Yu wants to break this rule, and it has been implemented.

There was no opposition in the court, because they all hoped that Liu Yue would get out of the house as soon as possible, even if Xu Xuanzhu and Sui Yu came out to kill Si Chen, it was better than Liu Yu being in charge alone. People in the government and the opposition think so, and Liu Yu can only "conform to the will of the people", and when this small yamen is established, no one can hinder it anymore.

On the first day Liu Yu returned to Chang'an City, the women in the family had already begun to deal with affairs. Liu Yu watched for a while, and saw that Sui Yu carefully explained to Xu Xuanzhu how to deal with some court affairs, such as how to report below, how to reply, which ones really need to be looked at carefully, which ones do not need to be adopted, or if there are any pending matters in the local area that need to be dealt with by the imperial court, they all need to be determined by Xu Xuanzhu, the new assistant of the imperial court. Liu Yu looked at it and felt that Xu Xuanzhu had done a good job.

Qi'er was listless and looked even sleepier than Liu Yu. Qi'er didn't have Liu Yu by her side for the past two days, so she didn't have the heart to go out to play, and she wasn't even interested in Wu Shuo finding something interesting for her. As soon as Liu Yu came back, she was in good spirits for a while, and soon yawned again, and she was urging Liu Yu in this way to go back to the room to rest.

In front of so many women, her sister or her mother, Qi'er doesn't want to say what she thinks, and she will feel shy. She just wanted to be alone with Liu Yu for a while, at least Liu Yu wouldn't put her mind on Xu Xuanzhu or the Han sisters, or Sima Xuan'er and Li Sha'er. Any woman is selfish when it comes to her husband's favor, even Xu Xuanzhu is no exception. The difference is that Xu Xuan understands the general situation and the importance of family unity, while she chooses to be humble most of the time, so that these younger sisters can share more love.

"Lord, tomorrow's court meeting ......" The matter was almost handled, and Liu Yu was almost asleep leaning on the chair. Somehow, when Liu Yu returned home, he didn't want to sleep in bed, as if he had an attachment to the chair, and even felt lost and depressed if he didn't lean on it for a while.

"No, it's not open." Liu Yu squinted, looked at Sui Yu, and said with a smile, "The affairs of the imperial court will be handed over to Miss Sui to help take care of it for the time being, and I want you to walk on both sides of the Liutai Yamen and the inner court, so it's hard for you." ”

Sui Yu bowed her head slightly and said, "The prince is serious. ”

As he spoke, the drum of the second watch had been beaten outside, originally in the palace, there was no drum beating, only the sound of the guards passing the message, but after Liu Yu stayed in the palace, Liu Yu suddenly found that the palace was not used to the sound of the watch, sometimes he woke up at night, I don't know how many days the road will feel very uncomfortable, and even can't sleep for a long time, and it will be dawn with his eyes open. Therefore, since Liu Yu came back from Lingnan, he asked the female army guards to work every night to let him know the time of the Tao.

"It's not too early." Xu Xuanzhu cleaned up the notebook on the table, got up and said, "Husband should also go back to rest earlier." ”

Xu Xuanzhu said, glanced at Qi'er, in fact, Qi'er had already fallen asleep in Liu Yu's arms.

Originally, Liu Yu said that he was very sleepy when he came back, but on the second watch, Liu Yu didn't sleep except for leaning back on the chair and dozing off, but Qi'er couldn't hold back and fell asleep first.

"Oh." Liu Yu responded and said, "Then Mrs. will send Miss Sui to the room to rest first, and I will ...... Hug Qi'er back to the room. ”

Liu Yu is at home, and he only directly refers to Qi'er by name, in fact, whether it is Xu Xuanzhu, or the Han sisters, or Qi'er's mother, Concubine Lin, they all call Qi'er like this, only Sima Xuan'er and Li Sha'er don't dare to make too many mistakes, but they also try to avoid having positive contact with Qi'er, and they basically don't need to call Qi'er anything. As for the matter of asking for peace, except for Sima Xuan'er and Li Sha'er who need to come over in the morning to ask Liu Yu for peace, they don't even have to go over to the Queen Mother Concubine Lin, and the family will not only seem to have some encounters, but also seem to be very natural and normal, without any restraints.

Liu Yu carried Qi'er back to the room, but Qi'er was still sleeping very dead. Liu Yu didn't wake her up, but he didn't take off his clothes and go to bed, but fell asleep directly on the chair in front of the table.

Sleeping on a chair made Liu Yu feel very down-to-earth, especially when he thought of the woman he loved and needed to protect on the bed.

By the morning of the next day, the court meeting was canceled, and Liu Yu did not go to Shangshutai, nor did he go to the Yamen of the Six Ministries, let alone the military headquarters to discuss some things after the withdrawal of troops. Even Liu Yu didn't even ask about the latest progress of the purge, until the afternoon, even the people in the court felt that Liu Yu's attitude was a little abnormal this time, and they went to see Han Sheng to ask what was going on, Han Sheng was a little confused, so he said: "King Lin...... Just need to rest more. ”

Liu Yu was indeed resting, but when he was resting, he would think about some things, especially outside Lang County, when he saw Su Zhe appear in Lang County. He was sure that it was Su Zhe, but for some reason, he always felt that something had been overlooked by him.

At dusk, Liu Yu sat on the swing, not he pushed Qi'er to swing, but Qi'er pushed him behind him for a while. Liu Yu suddenly seemed to have a sudden realization in his heart, something rose from his mind, and he finally knew what he had been ignoring all along.

"That's it!" Liu Yu stood up suddenly, his eyes were full of sharpness, and this gaze made Qi'er feel a little timid.

"Xianggong, what's wrong?" Qi'er asked timidly.

"It's okay, Qi'er, you go play with the little stutterer first, I'll go out of the palace first!" Liu Yu said and walked out of the palace. (To be continued......)
