When the head Fu who was holding the dust whisk heard Zhou Guifei's words, he couldn't help but let out a sneer in his heart, saying that women who can make achievements in the palace are all amazing characters, such as the queen.

Unexpectedly, this sentence didn't work on Zhou Guifei, did she use it so obviously to test the emperor's attitude?

Thanks to the fact that the anger in the emperor's heart has not been so heavy over the years, otherwise it would have to be rested on the emperor's previous temper, I am afraid that at this time, Zhou Guifei has been swept to the ground from the emperor's arms.

While thinking like this, Manager Fu looked towards Emperor Showa, and sure enough, the master's face was already very bad, as if he was about to have a seizure at any time, but he covered it up very well and didn't let Zhou Guifei notice it.

Emperor Showa looked at the woman in his arms who was obviously smiling but full of ideas, and his big hand with a little rough gently stroked her long hair that was scattered over her shoulders, and his voice changed from quite interesting just now to a deep and slow voice.

"I still seem to have something to say in my concubine's words?"

Zhou Yanran came here to find out Emperor Showa's attitude, and by the way, she wanted to remind him carefully, so after noticing that Emperor Showa was not as kind as her ancestors, she also endured the trembling that came out of her heart, and pulled a reluctant smile from her face.

She looked at Emperor Showa delicately and gently, and said, "Your Majesty, what kind of person the concubine is, others don't know, don't you know?" How can a concubine dare to say something with words in her words; The concubine only heard in the harem that His Royal Highness King Xuan had frequently entered the palace to ask the queen mother for peace in recent days, so she thought of King Ling, and then heard that His Royal Highness King Ling had made meritorious contributions in Jeju City, and felt that there seemed to be some coincidence in this. ”

As she spoke, Zhou Yanran gently stroked Emperor Showa's chest with her weak and boneless hands, as if she was making a comfortable movement for him, "Your Majesty, you know that the nine princes are all adults, and each of them has been crowned king; The courtiers and concubines don't understand, but the concubines also know that even if it's an ordinary family, the son will be worried about the inheritance left by his ancestors and his father when he grows up; The nine highnesses are all dragons and phoenixes among people, no matter who is in charge of this world in the future, the rivers and mountains of my Great Wei will be immortal. ”

Looking at Zhou Yanran's skillful appearance, Emperor Showa raised her chin and looked at her bright face.

"It's the first time I've known that this little mouth of the concubine is not only sweet, but even the words she says can be put on one ring after another."

was controlled by Emperor Showa with such a tricky action, and Zhou Yanran didn't dare to struggle, so she could only pretend to be innocent and smile at Emperor Showa.

She knew very well that what she said just now was obvious, and Emperor Showa must have heard the meaning of this, so she showed a little displeasure between her eyebrows.

"Concubine Ai just said that Xuan'er has often gone to see the queen in recent days?"

Zhou Yanran nodded obediently and replied: "His Royal Highness King Xuan has always been a filial child, and he often enters the palace to ask for peace and visit his mother, which is really an example for all princes. ”

"Humph! is not a biological mother, does she really have such a deep mother-son relationship? ”

Emperor Showa threw Zhou Yanran's chin to the side in his hand, and his face sank: "Aifei, you don't have to be so nervous about my attitude, I know very well who among my nine sons is the emperor's talent, just like you said, the country of Great Wei will definitely be handed over to a person who can make it immortal, and I will live up to the ancestors of the Zhao family in the temple." ”

Speaking of this, Emperor Showa looked at Zhou Yanran with hesitation: "The concubine wants to find out the news from me, but she also wants to learn from others to be able to stand in line early?" Whose team are you on? The third prince Zhao Ling? ”

Zhou Yanran knew that she was taking a risky move, and if she was not careful, she would be suspicious and disliked by the Son of Heaven; Sure enough, her purpose was still perceived.

Immediately, I saw her withdraw from Emperor Showa's arms and knelt on the ground in a proper manner, "Your Majesty, the concubines dare not be disloyal and insincere." ”

Seeing that Zhou Yanran seemed to be frightened by what he said, Emperor Showa smiled and stretched out his hand to hand it to her, seeing her looking at him with bright eyes and fear, he nodded, and then took the hand she sent and pulled her up.

Said: "You are not a courtier of the previous dynasty, there is no need to show these indifferent loyalty in front of me; I can understand your thoughts, I am old, I don't know when I will go to see my ancestors and ancestors, there are still a long time for you, after all, you have to plan for yourself. ”

Although Zhou Yanran knew that Emperor Showa's words were telling the truth from the bottom of his heart, he still had to obey the etiquette system and said respectfully: "The emperor is in good health and will be able to live a long life." ”

"A long life? Aifei, you wouldn't say such ignorant words in front of you. ”

Emperor Showa sighed, leaned his fat body on the cushion behind him, and raised his head to look at the blue sky outside the hall, "Since ancient times, many emperors have pursued the method of immortality, but have you ever seen and heard with your own eyes which emperor succeeded?" Even the ancestors of our dynasty did such miserable things with others back then, but they still did not achieve their goals; Therefore, there will be no one in this world who will live a long life, and there will be no one who is selfless enough not to think about himself. ”

"I know that not only my sons, but everyone else is watching me for this position; But will it be theirs to keep an eye on? I always believe that what is my own will be my own, and whoever wants to snatch it and whoever wants to plunder it is just an empty toss. ”

Emperor Showa stretched out his hand and touched Zhou Yanran's still young and delicate face, "You are a smart woman, I will not blame you for playing tricks in front of me, because I know that the person who is really stirring up trouble behind my back is not you." ”

Zhou Yanran heard these words of Emperor Showa, although he didn't say many words explicitly, but she was keenly aware that Emperor Showa seemed to know something.

Looking at the emperor in front of her, she vaguely felt as if she had been working on an axe in front of him all along; Although the Son of Heaven is already old, although his throne was obtained by the queen with the help of him; But let's ask, if a person is really incapable, how can he sit on the dragon chair for decades?

Perhaps, all of them were deceived by the man in front of them, who was the one who hid behind everyone and really controlled everything. I'm afraid that even the Jiang family is just a chess piece in his hand.

Emperor Showa looked at Zhou Yanran's violently shaking pupils, and knew that she should have guessed something, in order to appease her shocked emotions at the moment, Emperor Showa took her hand and took the initiative to say a few other words to her, and then asked someone to send her out.

Seeing Zhou Yanran's weak steps being taken out, Emperor Showa sat on the dragon chair and was silent for a long time.

When Mr. Fu came up to add tea, as if chatting, he took the initiative to say: "The emperor did not punish the concubine, it must be for the sake of King Ling's face." ”

Emperor Showa smiled at the old fox in charge of Fu, and sighed twice: "You are really the roundworm in my stomach, what do I think, the first person I can't hide is you." ”

Mr. Fu smiled and saluted, looking at it, he really looked like a friend with Emperor Showa.

Emperor Showa took a deep breath and said, "Yes, I can see that Zhou Yanran is on Ling'er's side, although I don't know why she chose Ling'er, and when she met Ling'er; But since she made a choice that satisfied me, why not give me a chance? Besides, she came to see me, not only to test my tone, but also to quietly reveal the news about the queen and Xuan'er to me, but I didn't expect these two people to be so impatient now, and before Ling'er came back, they were ready to join forces. ”

When Chief Fu heard this, he also became nervous: "Your Majesty, from the perspective of the minions, let's take action before the incident happens, it is better to eradicate those who have a disobedient heart as soon as possible, so as not to let them develop again, which may be unfavorable to us." ”

Emperor Showa had his own considerations, and he said calmly: "The Jiang family has been rooted in the court for a long time, and the forces in the court have long been intertwined. Against such a huge opponent, we have to hit it with one blow. ”

"And if you want to uproot them, the only chance is to wait for them to make a big mistake, and then announce what they have done to the world, completely clearing the way for Ling'er to take this road."

How could Chief Fu not know that Emperor Showa was exposing his life to the hands of those wolf ambitions by doing this, and said anxiously: "Your Majesty, the minions are worried, they may really jump off the wall in a hurry, if it comes to that moment, I'm afraid it will be too late." ”

"It's not too late, as long as Ling Er can catch up, it's not too late. Back then, I made a promise to Concubine Yang that I would protect her for the rest of my life and give her a stable home, but in the end, I carelessly failed to protect her and broke my promise to her; Concubine Yang grabbed my hand before she died, although she didn't say a word, I could see that the most reassuring thing in her life was Ling'er. Ling'er is my blood and blood, the son of my most beloved woman who died for me, and I will definitely leave the best for him. I have broken my promise to Concubine Yang, and I can't live up to my son anymore. Even if I want to use my life as bait, I am willing to do it. ”

Mr. Fu has been with Emperor Showa since he was a child, and no one knows everything about Emperor Showa better than him.

Many years later, when he heard Emperor Showa take the initiative to mention Concubine Yang, and it was under such circumstances, Mr. Fu knew that in the heart of this son of heaven who controlled the world, he had never forgotten that woman, the woman he put deep in his heart, full of regret, guilt and deep love.
