Lu Qingjin returned to Zhaoyang Palace, and before he could say anything, a bowl of dark and black decoction with a strong bitter taste was brought in front of him.

"Niangniang, where have you been, it's time to drink the medicine, the doctor said that you have to drink it at the right time, so that the effect of the medicine can play well." Binglan looked anxious.

"What decoction? I don't drink it, but I'm fine now. Lu Qingjin frowned and looked at the bowl of black decoction, and waved his hand in disgust.

She was poisoned a few days ago, but now that the poison has been resolved, she doesn't feel uncomfortable, even if it is really uncomfortable, she doesn't want to drink those bitter decoctions, she really suffers.

"Niangniang, this is a decoction specially ordered by the emperor to be prepared for you by the hospital, you were poisoned before, I am afraid that you will be injured at all, and you need to take care of it." Jingshu also came over to persuade together.

"If you don't drink it, take it down." Lu Qingjin turned her face away, and her originally good mood suddenly sank, she hated being forced to do things she didn't like to do.

Qin Zhao obviously knew that she didn't like to drink decoction, but she also ordered the Tai Hospital to get these, although she knew that he was also for her good, but she just felt very aggrieved.

"Niangniang, just drink some, the emperor is also for your good." Jingshu said bitterly.

"Yes, Niangniang, how much does the emperor care about you, I think about you all the time, when you were poisoned and unconscious, the emperor had a big temper, and now although you have woken up and the poison has been resolved, but I am afraid that there is still residual poison in the body that has not been cleared, it is better to be cautious." Binglan held the potion.

"The palace has said that it will not drink, who has the final say in Zhaoyang Palace!" Lu Qingjin was extremely angry.

"Niangniang, if you do this again, the slaves and maids can only go and invite the emperor to come over." Jing Shu had no choice but to move out of Qin Zhaolai.

Lu Qingjin opened his mouth and was about to scold her, the two personal palace maids who obeyed the emperor's orders, and the next moment a smiling voice came from outside the hall, "What are you doing here?" ”

As soon as Qin Zhao walked outside the hall, he heard Lu Qingjin's two palace maids persuading her to drink medicine.

Binglan stepped forward with a decoction, "Your Majesty, my mother refuses to drink medicine." ”

Qin Zhao raised his eyes to look at Lu Qingjin, only to see that the queen mother, who was still very strong just now, was bowing her head at the moment.

Qin Zhao raised his hand and picked up the bowl containing the decoction, "You guys go down first." ”

"Yes." Jing Shu and Bing Lan replied in unison.

"What are you going to do?" The thought of him forcing her to drink the medicine made her angry.

"I'm afraid that if I don't come again, some people will be suffocated to death because of sulking." Qin Zhao said with a smile.

"You know I don't like it, you know I'm going to be angry, but you still want to do it!" Lu Qingjin didn't come out angrily.

"Qingjin, be obedient and finish the medicine." Qin Zhao suddenly softened his tone.

Lu Qingjin has always eaten soft rather than hard, and seeing Qin Zhao like this, her attitude was much looser, "I really don't want to drink it, I'm fine now, the medicine given by Kadar is very good, and my poison has been unraveled." ”

"Qingjin, there are no absolutes in everything, what if the toxins in the body are not cleared? Do not leave any hidden dangers to the body. Qin Zhao's attitude in this matter was very firm, "You are my queen, and you want to spend your life with me, so you should be more cautious about loving yourself." ”

When Lu Qingjin heard this, his heart moved slightly, "I'll just drink it." ”

She picked up the bowl with a death-defying expression, tilted her head and drank the bitter decoction in one gulp.

"It's so bitter, it's so bitter." Lu Qingjin frowned aggrievedly.

"Come, come in with preserves." Qin Zhao shouted outside the hall.

Jing Shu soon came in with a small can, Qin Zhao took the candied fruit tube, picked one out of it, and fed it to Lu Qingjin's mouth.

Lu Qingjin hurriedly opened his mouth and swallowed it, and the sweet and fresh smell spread in his mouth, diluting the initial bitterness.

"Qingjin, I will go to Jiangnan at the beginning of next month." This is the reason why he came to find Lu Qingjin this time, "I plan to take you with me." ”

"Why do you suddenly want to go down to Jiangnan?" Lu Qingjin looked puzzled, now Qin Zhao's foundation in the court is still unstable, many forces are secretly eyeing him, the border area has always been full of wars, and national affairs are completely inseparable from him as an emperor.

Going to Jiangnan at this time is obviously not a rational act.

"The recent flooding disaster in the Jiangnan area has been particularly serious, and the household department has allocated funds for disaster relief many times but has never been effective, I suspect that someone in Jiangnan is doing something." Qin Zhao explained that "the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics" does not exist in Zhaoyang Palace at all.

"Are you saying that local officials are corrupt?" Lu Qingjin asked directly.

"Yes, in the Jiangnan region, the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, so it is inevitable that no one will move their minds, but they will pity those people...... Alas......" Qin Zhao let out a long sigh.

"Don't blame yourself, you also said that the mountain is high and the emperor is far away, how can you take care of Jiangnan, which is thousands of miles away?" Lu Qingjin comforted softly.

"I understand that this trip still needs to be kept secret, so don't tell anyone about it first, so as not to leak the news." Qin Zhao admonished.

"I understand." Lu Qingjin nodded, since he wanted to investigate whether there were any problems with the officials there, he definitely needed to make an unannounced visit.

"Then how are we going to get out of the palace then?" She asked the key.

"I will discuss with the Empress Dowager, and when the time comes, I will borrow the Five Elements Mountain to pray for the Empress Dowager to go out of the palace." Qin Zhao had already planned it.

"Okay." Lu Qingjin nodded.

"There must be bumps on the road, you can bring your two personal palace maids." Qin Zhao proposed.

"No, since it's an unannounced visit, this trip can't be too ostentatious, I'll just keep them in Zhaoyang Palace to take care of my affairs." Lu Qingjin shook his head.

"Your body is the most important thing, and if no one can take care of you, I won't be able to handle government affairs with peace of mind." Qin Zhao held her soft and white hand.

"Okay, I see, I'll tell them later." Lu Qingjin nodded in response.

Qin Zhao played with Lu Qingjin's armor, "It is said that there are a lot of mosquitoes in the Jiangnan area, you tell the palace people to make a few more mosquito repellent sachets, be prepared." ”

"Okay."

"The food in Gangnam is different from ours, and I don't know if you can get used to it."

"The emperor can, I don't have a reason." Lu Qingjin said with a smile.

"You, you." Qin Zhao patted her forehead dotingly.

"Your Majesty." She suddenly threw herself into his arms, "It is said that Jiangnan women are as tender as water, will the emperor be tempted?" ”

"It's enough for me to have your tenderness." Qin Zhao tightened his arms and wrapped her in his arms, "The rest, it's all a passing cloud. ”

Lu Qingjin smiled when she heard this, it doesn't matter, even if it is a lie, then she is content.
