"Lord Xi Doulu, what is the important matter you are referring to, please let this palace inform Your Majesty on your behalf." Li Yunshen arched his hand.

Xi Dou Lu Shi's eyes lit up, "Your Royal Highness Concubine Yun, you and I are ministers of the same dynasty, but we perform our own duties, I'm afraid not all official affairs can take care of each other." This matter is urgent, and it is related to the survival of all people. If Your Majesty is still in a coma and is powerless to hear, it is reasonable; But now that Your Majesty has improved, if you fail to listen to the people's feelings and observe the people's sufferings in time due to the obstruction of Her Royal Highness Concubine Yun, I am afraid that it will be difficult to calm the grievances of the people and block the mouths of the people, which will cause my Great Zhou court to be criticized and your Majesty's prestige to be tarnished. ”

This move back made Li Yunshen a little caught off guard in an instant, and he suddenly felt that he was forced to get an inch closer to the abyss under his feet.

"Exactly, these 100,000 urgent political affairs can't wait until two days later."

"Our intentions can be conveyed to Your Majesty the morning after tomorrow. At this moment, let Lord Xi Doulu go in and report on political affairs. ”

"Indeed, without further ado!"

The revolt of the ministers returned.

Li Yunshen did not change the smile on his face, but he was already secretly complaining in his heart. But the only way to do this is to use the strategy of delaying the army, even if it is only a short time to think of a better way.

"Lord Xi Doulu, please wait, this palace will go to His Majesty Ming first, please summon you." After Li Yunshen arched his hand, he turned around and walked in the direction of the Yi God Temple. But he knew very well in his heart, how could that unconscious Zuo Ying answer his words? Even if he came back and pretended that His Majesty didn't want to see him, it would be unreasonable. Thinking of this, his eyebrows, which seemed to have always been raised happily, couldn't help but frown slightly.

At this moment, a loud message came from there: "Your Majesty has arrived-"

The sound was heard. Not only did the ministers present look at each other and secretly marvel, but even Li Yunshen was shocked, and only after being stunned did he kneel down to greet the ministers who bowed down one after another.

He bowed his head, his eyes looking at the ground as far away as possible. Anxiously waiting. I saw that a moment later, the skirt of the gray-black regular dress lined with a black purple gauze dress that Zuo Ying often wore appeared on the stone road in front of her, and she moved closer in a slightly slow and unsteady step. Tightly clinging to the sides of her skirt. It's the skirts of two palace maids - Zuo Ying seems to be supported by the palace maids.

"Your Majesty, may your Majesty live, long live, long live!" The ministers shouted together and fell to the ground.

"Let's all be flat."

It wasn't until Zuo Ying's slightly weak voice came that the stunned in Li Yunshen's heart completely turned into a breath of joy.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

The ministers stood up one after another. When they saw that although Zuo Ying's face was unusually pale and she was a little tired in her steps, she did appear in front of them alive and without any major problems, they didn't dare to look at each other and whisper anymore, so they could only sigh in surprise in their hearts. Or secretly scold those minions who report the news for being inaccurate and spreading falsehoods, causing them not only to make a fuss today, but also to offend the face of heaven.

"I'm glad you care so much about my condition." Zuo Ying didn't have time to paint Zhu's bloodless lips, and she hooked it with a smile. Immediately, the faint smile in his eyes turned into a cold and fierce one, "However, you ignore my commands, make a lot of noise here, and break the rules of the palace, even these palace people who have no taste and no rank are inferior, it is really not an exemplary act!" ”

When the ministers heard the anger in Zuo Ying's voice, they knew that they were wrong, and they knelt down to confess.

Zuo Ying looked coldly at the backs of these courtiers. She knew very well in her heart that these people were not here to ask for peace, but to urge her life, and the family had set up a celebration banquet waiting for them to go back and announce her death.

"You are just concerned about my condition, and you are a first-time offender, so I will not care about it this time. If there is a next time, it will be dealt with according to the palace rules. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your innocence!"

According to the palace rules, not summoning trespassing into the palace is a crime of dismissal and dismissal at worst. These people who know very well that they are a few pounds and a few taels dare not take this seriously at all.

"Xi Dou Lu Shi, do you say that there is something urgent to tell me?" Zuo Ying looked at Xi Dou Lu Shidao.

"Back to Your Majesty," without Zuo Ying's order, Xi Dou Lu Shi didn't dare to get up, knelt on the ground and straightened his waist and said, "It's about the Yongding River flood." ”

"Say." Zuo Ying held her head high. These ministers knelt on the ground at a height just two heads shorter than she stood, and it was still more pleasing to the eye from this angle.

Xi Dou Lu Shi arched his hand and said: "I would like to inform Your Majesty, there is the latest news in the local area, saying that not only the disaster county is in an emergency, but even the nearby prefectures and counties are in chaos due to the continuous influx of disaster victims. Among them, Pingzhou, which is relatively wealthy, is the most serious. Although the city gates have been closed, the people are complaining about the high prices and poor law and order in the city. ”

Zuo Ying said without hurrying: "The flood of disasters has made me worried. However, I have already handed over the matter of disaster relief to the Taishi with full responsibility, and the Qin mission to oversee the disaster relief has also set off. Xi Dou Lu Shi, you are in a hurry to report this matter to me, do you think that the Taishi has mishandled the disaster relief matter and needs me to uphold justice? If so, you will follow me to the temple of the god of Yi and explain it to me. ”

When Xi Dou Lu Shi heard this, he hurriedly denied it: "The minister has no such intention!" The minister went to report to the Taishi in detail. ”

Li Yunshen couldn't help but secretly laugh beside him.

Zuo Ying didn't know if the people at this time had said "don't talk about people during the day, don't talk about ghosts at night", at this time, a general message came from outside the gate of Weiyang Palace: "Taishi Helan Chu is here-"

After a while, everyone saw Helan Chu coming from outside the door.

The ministers all bowed their heads in salute.

Helan Chu saw that until he entered the palace, the news he got was still that she was still in a coma and her life and death were uncertain, and she was standing in front of the ministers at this moment, and his eyes couldn't help but light up slightly in surprise. He went straight to Zuo Ying, covered his knees, knelt on the ground, and said in a calm voice: "Minister Helan Chu see Your Majesty." May Your Majesty be blessed with peace and longevity. ”

Zuo Ying glanced at Helan Chu, smiled lightly and said, "I know the loyalty of all Aiqing. I am still unwell and need to go back to rest. If we have something to say, let's leave it until the morning after tomorrow. ”

She woke up from her coma in less than a quarter of an hour. was told that Li Yunshen was dealing with the ministers outside, so he barely supported his body to come out to relieve the siege. She still feels top-heavy and sees things in pairs, and she really doesn't want to continue to stand under the big sun and spend time with these ministers.

Just as the ministers were about to send off the empress, Helan Chu suddenly said aloud: "Your Majesty, please stay." ”

Zuo Ying and Li Yunshen couldn't tell what Helan Chu wanted to do at this time, and they couldn't help but sigh in their hearts. The ministers also gathered their curious eyes on Helan Chu.

Helan Chubai fell to the ground and kowtowed three times in a row, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your life!" ”

This action made everyone present stunned, as if they had seen something strange before. They didn't know what had happened between the Grand Master and the Empress, and none of the versions that had been circulated could match the current situation; Second, they wouldn't have imagined that the Taishi, who was usually accustomed to dictating to the emperor, would behave so humbly at this moment, and that thanksgiving didn't look like a routine perfunctory or insincere pretend.

Zuo Ying also felt a surprise, she never guessed that Helan Chu would thank her so ceremoniously in front of the ministers for saving her life.

"Aiqing, please get up." Zuo Ying pondered for a moment before she said slowly: "Aiqing served the three dynasties and made great achievements, and when I rejected Liangguo, Ping Wu Chu, and Zhen Zhuhu for my Great Zhou, I was still a toddler; Long before I ascended the throne, Aiqing single-handedly carried over half of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Without Aiqing's assistance, the Great Zhou Dynasty would not have the stability and prosperity it has today. The Great Zhou can be free for a day, but it can't be without love for a day. ”

"Your Majesty...... The minister is ashamed and dare not be a ......" Zuo Ying's words seemed to really reach Helan Chu's heart, and he fell to the ground and didn't get up for a long time.

Zuo Ying couldn't see if his expression was still as cold as usual, but he could hear that his voice was faintly uneven.

"I'm really tired, you all disperse." Zuo Ying slowly turned around, "Concubine Yun, help me go back." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Li Yunshen walked over quickly, put his arm around Zuo Ying's shoulder, let her lean on his chest, and walked cautiously towards the Yishen Temple.

"Congratulations to Your Majesty."

The ministers knelt on the ground until the figure of Zuo Ying and his party disappeared, and Helan Chu stood up, and then they got up one after another, saying hello, and congratulating him on receiving such praise from His Majesty before they dispersed.

As soon as he left the sight of the ministers, Li Yunshen bent down, hugged Zuo Ying with both hands, and continued to walk forward, and the palace maids next to him couldn't help but turn their faces sideways shyly, cover their mouths and snicker.

"Little San'er, you can't be so disrespectful of physique." In fact, Zuo Ying was really weak at this time, and after walking for a while and standing for a while, she was already a little "fluttering like a fairy", and she was happy to have someone to walk on her behalf, so she didn't struggle.

"Your Majesty has recovered from a coma, and the ministers are overjoyed." Li Yunshen deliberately slowed down and said with a sweet smile: "Your Majesty has just recovered from his illness, so he got out of bed to relieve the siege for the minister, how can the minister bear to let His Majesty continue to suffer?" Moreover, the love of husband and wife is in line with human ethics, and His Majesty and his ministers should set an example for the world. ”

Zuo Ying simply closed her eyes to recuperate.

"Your Majesty, the hairpin on the minister's head today is exactly what Your Majesty gave you on the minister's birthday." Li Yunshen whispered in Zuo Ying's ear.

Zuo Ying slowly opened her eyes, in fact, she had noticed for the first time when she saw Li Yunshen just now that the hairpin on his head was the hairpin she had left on his bed that day. She knew that this was a signal, a signal that Li Yunshen wanted to take the initiative to explain to her why he left the palace without permission in those days.
