At noon, Du Changkang came to send kelp crispy spring fish to the queen's palace according to Lu Siguan's instructions.

This dish is said to be made by a newly recruited chef in the palace, the taste is relatively novel, Lu Siguan ate a few bites, felt very good, and ordered the cook to make another one and send it to the queen's palace.

When Du Changkang arrived outside the Queen's Palace, he was stopped by Dashuang.

Du Changkang was in a very good mood when he saw Dashuang, while Dashuang had a deep face. Du Changkang asked her with a smile: "What's wrong with the big girl?" ”

Dashuang pointed to the food box he was holding in his hand and asked him with a deep face, "What is this?" Could it be that the emperor wants to give the queen to death, so he sent something, right? ”

"What?" When Du Changkang heard her say this, he couldn't help laughing.

Dashuang glared at him: "I've been entangled for a while just now, don't laugh, you just answer me seriously." ”

She took a step closer to Du Changkang and asked, "This, what is it?" Why did the emperor send you to send this thing? ”

She stretched out her hand and pointed to the food box in Du Changkang's hand, her face was full of beaks, very majestic.

Du Changkang smiled and said: "This is for eating, eating seriously." ”

Seeing that Da Shuang was still suspicious, Du Changkang told Da Shuangzi the truth of the matter carefully. After speaking, he tilted his head to look at her: "How is it?" Can you rest assured now? ”

Dashuang was still a little skeptical: "Then why didn't the emperor come to eat with the queen?" ”

Du Changkang smiled: "The emperor is still busy, there have been a lot of things in the palace recently." Do you remember when I went to the south for disaster relief? This matter has not yet been cleaned up, and the emperor can't spare time. And the harem in the depths of the queen's palace is more time-consuming to go back and forth. ”

Dashuang nodded slightly: "That...... Then I ask you one thing. ”

Du Changkang nodded: "You ask." ”

Dashuang didn't ask immediately, just stared at him: "You have to answer me seriously, and you are not allowed to adulterate." If you dare to lie to me, I will ignore you again. ”

Du Changkang smiled: "Just ask, haven't I always known everything about you?" ”

So, the big double told Du Changkang all the rumors in the palace that "I heard that the emperor was building a high-rise building recently" and "I heard that the emperor raised many other women", and finally asked him: "Are these true?" ”

Seeing that her face was full of words like "You must not lie" and "If you dare to lie to me, you will be finished", Du Changkang wanted to laugh in his heart, and then he recalled what Lu Siguan said to him before he came here with a food box.

At that time, Lu Siguan bit a puff pastry prawn, put down the piece he was still reading, and said to him: "If you go to the queen's palace at this time, you will inevitably be forced to ask, whether it is a big double girl or a queen's mother, they will definitely ask you about that tall building." ”

Du Changkang looked at Lu Siguan: "Then the emperor, how should the subordinates answer?" ”

Lu Siguan said with a smile: "Now that I have built a high-rise building, it has changed from a secret to all kinds of rumors in the palace, and it must have also entered the queen's palace. The queen is delicate, and she may suspect that I am raising a woman. ”

"How can the emperor raise women?" Du Changkang smiled.

"If it were normal, the queen wouldn't have guessed like this, mainly because I said it on purpose, so she might not be able to help but think about it." Lu Siguan said.

Du Changkang asked: "Do you need subordinates to rehabilitate the emperor?" If the queen asked, her subordinates were telling the truth, right? ”

Lu Siguan shook his head: "It's not the time yet, the high-rise building has not been fully completed, and it is not the best time." ”

Du Changkang looked at him: "Then when asked, how should his subordinates answer?" ”

Lu Siguan thought about it very seriously and said, "You can't say it directly, but it seems that I saw the emperor sending a woman upstairs or something, and I am actually very curious, whether the queen will really be angry with me." ”

Hearing this, Du Changkang was stunned for a moment: "Your Majesty, this is ...... Isn't it good? ”

"It doesn't seem to be very good," Lu Siguan was silent for a moment, "If the queen really refuses to be nice to me because of this matter......

"It's better to do this, Your Majesty." Du Changkang said.

"Huh?" Lu Si looked over.

Du Changkang said: "If Dashuang or the queen's mother asks about this, then the subordinates will say that the emperor built the high-rise building for his own enjoyment, but whether he has raised a woman or not, the subordinates are not clear." The word hedonism is also very similar to the emperor's original intention of building a high-rise building, so it is not considered to deceive the queen. ”

Lu Siguan nodded slightly: "If you say so, it's okay." ”

Du Changkang smiled and asked, "Can the subordinates leave now?" ”

"Let's go," Lu Siguan smiled, "Remember to observe how the queen looks, and tell me everything when you come back."

"Yes." At that time, Du Changkang was still thinking about why the emperor looked like a young man who had just fallen in love.

Arrange for a subordinate to finish talking to his sweetheart, and ask his subordinates to write down his sweetheart's reaction, which is something that only teenagers do. But Du Changkang can also understand.

And at that moment, Dashuang couldn't help frowning when he saw that he didn't speak for a long time: "What's the matter with you?" Du Changkang, answer me quickly, is it used by the emperor to support other women? ”

Du Changkang sighed: "How can the emperor raise other women? ”

"But that's what many people in the palace said." Dashuang frowned, thinking that this matter would definitely not be groundless.

"Everyone in the palace says that, do you think it's true?" Du Changkang smiled, "When did our big double girl become a person who listens to the wind is the wind and the rain is the rain?" ”

"Ah, this ......"

Du Changkang smiled, stretched out his hand and rubbed it on the top of her head: "I am the person next to the emperor, you should also believe what I say, right?" This is authority. ”

Dashuang let out an "oh" and looked at the food box in his hand: "But the queen hasn't woken up yet, you can give me something first." ”

Du Changkang responded and handed her the food box in his hand: "It looks like this is quite delicious." After the emperor ate it, he liked it very much, and said that he would send some to the queen's mother. If as you said, the emperor wants to raise other women, why should he be so good to the queen? ”

Dashuang said "oh" again: "You're right, I'm suspicious." ”

"Alright, if nothing else, I'll go." Du Changkang looked at her.

"Let's go, the queen is still sleeping," Da Shuang said, "she said she didn't sleep well last night." ”

Du Changkang smiled, probably having his own concerns in his heart. After he turned to leave, Dashuang watched his back disappear from sight, and then turned around and walked into the queen's hall.

Here, Du Changkang just walked with his front foot, and Liu Qingyan walked out of the queen's palace with a yawn.

"Dashuang, who came just now?" Liu Qingyan stretched her waist and asked her lazily.

"It's Du Changkang." Dashuang turned his head to look at her and smiled: "Is the queen mother hungry?" Do you need a slave to arrange for you to prepare something delicious? ”

After a pause, Dashuang raised the food box in his hand at her: "Look, this is sent by the emperor to Lord Du." ”

Liu Qingyan wondered: "Why doesn't the emperor come to eat with me?" ”

"Lord Du said that there have been too many things in the court and China recently, and if you want to come to the queen's palace to eat, it will inevitably be a little too late," Dashuang said, "Don't you remember the queen?" Some time ago, Master Du had just gone to the south for disaster relief, and there was something about Haiguo. ”

Liu Qingyan nodded slightly: "I see." ”

What she said is also that there have been too many things in the Chu State recently.

"Come on in, and tell the people to make a few more dishes." Liu Qingyan said.

Entering the queen's palace and sitting at the table, Liu Qingyan suddenly asked: "By the way, have you asked, what is going on with that tall building?" Lord Du is a person close to the emperor, and Lord Du should know about this matter. ”

Dashuang said "um": "Just now the slave maid asked Master Du." ”

"What did Master Du say?" Liu Qingyan asked.

Dashuang said: "Master Du said that high-rise buildings are indeed something, but they are not used to support women. ”

Liu Qingyan finally breathed a sigh of relief: "What is that high-rise building used for?" ”

Dashuang thought about it very seriously: "It seems to be talking about ...... Pleasure? ”

Liu Qingyan was stunned for a moment and frowned: "Pleasure? Is it the kind of indulgence she understands? Is it true to build a tall building and feast on it when you have nothing to do, and drink and have fun?

Dashuang nodded: "That's what Lord Du said." ”

"As a Ming Jun, what kind of high-rise building to build, what kind of pleasure do you say," Liu Qingyan snorted, "It's clear that your mind is not pure." In my opinion, there is nothing to toss about, that is, the emperor has something to hide from me. ”

Dashuang was slightly stunned: "That...... What does the Queen think is going on? ”

"I don't know much about this at the moment, when the emperor comes back tonight, I'll ask him again." Liu Qingyan said.

Dashuang nodded—it seemed that there was only one way to do it.

But that night, Lu Siguan went to bed in the queen's palace. He sent Du Changkang to the queen's palace and informed Liu Qingyan of the matter, saying that there were a lot of political affairs that had not been handled well and he had to continue to be busy.

So, Liu Qingyan had no chance to ask what the matter was in front of him.

After that, for a long time, Lu Siguan basically saw her in a hurry, and in addition, there was no movement, and he didn't stay long, and he didn't give Liu Qingyan much opportunity to ask him.

Finally, Liu Qingyan couldn't bear it anymore.

When she woke up the next morning, Liu Qingyan pressed Lu Siguan's shoulder beside her.
