After a while, they arrived at the imperial study, and sure enough, there were two figures standing outside the hall, one was weak and still had to be supported, and the other was tall and mighty with a murderous aura, and the attendants around looked at the two of them tremblingly.

Qin Zhao saw the general's unkind eyes before he arrived, and he didn't have a cold face at the moment, he just sighed, Concubine Li had already seen that she secretly pulled the sleeve of her brother beside her.

The man nodded when he saw his sister's appearance and didn't speak, but his eyes didn't know how much better than just now, Qin Zhao smiled and was now in front of the general: "What kind of wind is this blowing the general to me?" ”

The man stepped back and saluted: "Chen Ji Chen has violated the rules when he came at night, and please punish Your Majesty!" ”

Qin Zhao waved his hand indifferently: "It's all a family, so you don't need so much courtesy, if you want to come to the general, it's really important, don't be outside in the middle of the night, go in with me!" ”

Ji Chen seemed to smile: "It doesn't matter if you're a minister, it's this kind of weather to lead troops to fight, there is no imperial study in that place to enter, and the sister who wants to come to the minister is not willing to go in again!" ”

Qin Zhao didn't expect that he would give himself a dismount as soon as he opened his mouth, and his face was not very good at the moment, Concubine Li didn't dare to hurriedly play the round when she saw the atmosphere: "The concubine heard that the emperor hasn't had dinner yet, and it just so happens that the concubine's palace has prepared a lot of dishes, so dare to ask the emperor to try it!" ”

Qin Zhao knew in his heart that he couldn't fall out with the general at this time, so he followed the conversation and said: "Also, there is no way to do this, it's just a busy affair, and the general doesn't care if he wants to come and have dinner together!" ”

This is obviously the meaning of the squeeze, Ji Chen is not a tolerable character, but his sister has never been to the palace herself, and she didn't know what to say first for a while, Concubine Li saw that her brother was a little wrong, and said with a smile: "What's wrong with my brother, I haven't been seen for a long time, but I didn't expect it to be stupid, I think it's the wind that blows stupidly!" ”

Ji Chen smiled and scratched his head without arguing, and left after the two of them.

Zhang Dequan looked at the little eunuch who came to report the news and shook his head, the little eunuch stood aside knowingly, and when the people were almost gone, Zhang Dequan passed, and the little eunuch whispered: "There is a letter from the queen's palace, saying that there is nothing to do, and it won't take long to wake up." ”

Zhang Dequan nodded: "You go and reply over there and say that the emperor is busy with affairs and has no time, and it will pass when you have time."

The little eunuch stood a little hesitantly in place with an ugly expression: "The queen's palace didn't ask the emperor's whereabouts, but just closed the palace gate, and Miss Caiwei said that no one would come at this time." ”

Zhang Dequan was stunned and didn't know what to say, and the little eunuch Nuo Nuo added: "I also said that these words were said by the queen mother, but the queen mother didn't wake up at all!" ”

Zhang Dequan looked thoughtfully in the direction of the queen's palace and commanded softly: "You continue to go to the queen's palace, just say that the emperor is not at ease to send you over, don't do anything else, just stare at the girl Caiwei beside the queen, and come to me once there is anything." ”

The little eunuch nodded and hurriedly left, and a person next to him reminded Zhang Dequan in a whisper: "Your Majesty is almost at Liyun Palace, father-in-law should hurry up!" ”

Zhang Dequan followed with a heavy heart, there was peace in the Liyun Palace, Ji Chen seemed to be a little restrained because he had just come to this place, Concubine Li was very unconcerned, and both of them ignored Qin Zhao for a while.

The subordinates looked at the emperor tremblingly for fear that he would be angry, Qin Zhao was not very happy, but maybe he hadn't seen his relatives for too long, and he was a little yearning for a while.

I didn't know the taste of the food I ate for a meal, Concubine Li saw that it was almost enough and left, there were only two people left in the room, the atmosphere became solemn in an instant, Ji Chen took a sip of tea and opened his mouth first: "The minister knows that His Majesty has not been doing well recently, and he has come back from the frontier specially, and if there is something Your Majesty orders." ”

Qin Zhao said meaninglessly: "It's not that I invited you to the palace, I think Aiqing has something to tell me!" ”

Ji Chen put down the cup in his hand and said coldly: "The minister doesn't dare, but I heard that the little sister was a little anxious, and it is understandable that I want to come to the emperor." ”

Qin Zhao suddenly felt a little tired, he sighed and rubbed his forehead: "Do you have to talk like this?" It wasn't my intention, it was your sister's insistence, and it would not be too much to kill her if it wasn't for your merits. ”

Hearing this, the cup in Ji Chen's hand shattered in an instant, he lowered his head and didn't speak, anyone with a discerning eye knew what was going on, but it was clearly his eldest sister who he had seen since he was a child, even if there was something wrong, he was reluctant to reprimand.

Qin Zhao stood in front of the window and looked at the dark palace: "We have been friends since childhood, why is this so, I know that it was indeed an expedient measure to marry your sister at that time, but now you have also seen that everything in this Liyun Palace is the most gorgeous in the palace, what are you not satisfied with?" ”

Ji Chen smiled coldly: "The minister doesn't dare, this Liyun Palace is indeed the most noble place in the palace, the minister has no objection to the emperor's approach, I only hope that the emperor will have time to find a good family for the minister's sister in the future, after all, the most important thing for a woman is her husband." ”

It's hard to say this, and it is clear that Qin Zhao has harmed Concubine Li for the rest of her life because of these things, and finally squeezed Qin Zhao.

Qin Zhao sighed and before he could speak, Ji Chen spoke again: "The minister is most grateful to the emperor in this life, and he will assist the emperor for the rest of his life, but there is no need for the emperor's guidance for other things, especially the minister's sister." ”

This meaning is already clear, Qin Zhao doesn't know what to say, his calculations seem to have all failed, but his heart is still unwilling, he knows that he is sorry for this person and sorry for Concubine Li, but as an emperor, all kinds of calculations are not all for the country?

Both of them froze for a while, they both knew who was wrong, but they couldn't say that it was no longer the time it was then, and power, wealth and family love had clearly separated the two people.

Ji Chen made a salute and went out, Qin Zhao took a piece of pastry without knowing anything, the rough taste made his mood worse, and suddenly he remembered the queen, obviously she was just a concubine, and the things around her were better than that of the emperor, and the most important thing was that there was no one around that woman, and the Lu family had abandoned her, which felt like seeing another self.
