Chapter 196: Brother and Sister Mother and Son
This expectation was completely shattered after Shi Hanzhang was sent to the palace.
Being able to see the end of Jiuchou again today, Zizhu's excitement is no less than half a point less than that of his master.
It's a pity that this cold-blooded man who has now ascended the throne of regent refuses to even look at her.
Zizhu silently retreated to the corner, saddened alone.
didn't hear Shi Hanzhang calling her to grab the medicine according to the prescription.
Xiao Huangmen was still clever, took the initiative to take the prescription prescribed by Liu Yishou, and retreated.
Zizhu came back to her senses, Shi Hanzhang glared at her heavily, Zizhu was shocked into a cold sweat, and hurriedly knelt down in front of the emperor to wait.
Shi Hanzhang walked down the steps, looked at Zhong Jiuchou with affection, Zhong Jiuchou avoided her gaze, lowered his eyes and said respectfully: "Queen Mother, the minister has set up secret guards around His Majesty to protect His Majesty's safety at all times, and the Queen Mother does not need to worry." As long as His Majesty recovers, those who are young will not dare to make a mistake. What's more, with the prime minister here, no one dares to make trouble. ”
"Brother Jiu is here, I'm relieved." Shi Hanzhang habitually expressed his heart.
Zhong Jiuchou frowned slightly: "The Queen Mother doesn't want to torture Weichen." This 'Ninth Brother' Weichen can't afford it. Please ask the Queen Mother to follow the ancestral system and treat the ministers with courtesy to the younger generations. If the queen mother insists on going her own way, then Weichen has no choice but to resign as regent. ”
Liu Yi's cold face finally had a crack, like the ice surface was civilized, and the almost imperceptible jaw head agreed with the attitude of the end of the nine domains.
Shi Hanzhang's heart was dripping blood, his soft and delicate face was white and red, and it took a long time before he reluctantly called out his expression "Ziyuan" to Zhong Jiuchou.
These two words completely drew a clear line between the two, and also made her face her identity again.
It turned out that she was no longer the third sister he once held in the palm of his hand.
He is not the ninth brother who let her be coquettish and mess around.
She is the current queen mother, the widow of the first emperor, and the queen mother of the emperor. The master of the harem.
And he is the illegitimate son of the first emperor, the brother of the emperor, and the regent of Gaoxi.
From the day she married into the palace, she had no fate with him.
"Queen Mother, it's late at night, you go to the couch to rest for a while. If you stay up like this, you will burn your body. ”
Zizhu took the white fox cloak and put it on Shi Hanzhang.
Since the end of Jiuchou left, she has always leaned against the window, looking out of the window at the night, without saying a word.
Zizhu couldn't help but feel sorry for the Queen Mother when he heard Zhong Jiuchou say those cold words.
Zizhu is a house slave, grew up with Shi Hanzhang since he was a child, and knew that Shi Hanzhang wanted to marry Zhong Jiuchou since he was a child.
Who knew that the adults sent her to the palace, beat the mandarin ducks, the dream became a death, the flower girl became a widow in a blink of an eye, and the childhood sweetheart who grew up since childhood became a nominal "son" in a blink of an eye, and it was a heavy blow to anyone.
"Queen Mother, for the sake of Your Majesty, you also have to take care of your health."
After a moment, Shi Hanzhang sighed heavily, and recited faintly: "
Acacia is like the sea deep, and old things are like the sky.
Thousands of teardrops are even more heartbreaking.
If you want to see without a cause, it will be difficult to end up.
If there is no fate in the previous life, wait for the reunion and wish in the next life. ”
After the recitation, the two lines of clear tears had already wet the placket.
Zizhu was frightened after hearing this, and immediately leaned out to look around the window, hurriedly closed the window, knelt down and said, "Queen Mother, don't say these sad words again in the future." If people listen to it, maybe there will be a big storm. For the sake of Her Majesty, the Queen Mother must be cautious in her words and deeds. ”
After speaking, she kowtowed a few times and cried: "The maid is overstepping." Please punish the Queen Mother. ”
Shi Hanzhang looked at Zizhu, and his heart was full of sourness.
She knew that Zizhu had been instructed by her father to do this.
Her father understands her feelings for Zhong Jiuchou, but he is still not at ease.
"Get up. I don't blame you. It's that I can't remember who I am. ”
"Queen Mother." Zizhu stumbled again.
Shi Hanzhang helped her up, looked at Zizhu, and suddenly asked, "Is he married?" ”
Zizhu was stunned for a moment, and replied helplessly: "Not for the time being." However, there will always be. ”
"There will always be? Will there be? Hehe, hehe, yes, there will always be. Shi Hanzhang's tears flowed uncontrollably, "Who could it be?" Who is so blessed to marry him? ”
Zizhu's gaze moved to the red candle behind Shi Hanzhang, looking at the slightly flickering candlelight, as if he saw the final nine domains in a red wedding dress gradually blurring in the flames.
On the long palace road in the middle of the night, a black chariot was lonely on the bluestone bricks, making a sound of wheeling and turning.
In the carriage, Zhong Jiuchou sat with his eyes closed, his hands clenched into fists on his legs, his brows furrowed slightly, and the downward arc of his lips made people know at a glance that he was impatient.
Liu looked at him with one hand, knowing that he was trying his best to suppress the emotions in his heart, and after glancing at him several times, he still couldn't help but snort coldly.
The fist that Zhong Jiuchou placed on his thigh loosened slightly, and he still closed his eyes and remained silent.
Liu lifted the window and looked outside, and at this time, the chariot had already driven out of the palace and was driving on the most spacious official road in Kyoto.
The night wind was biting, and Liu slammed the window with one hand: "I told you a long time ago not to entangle with this woman, but you didn't listen." Sooner or later, one day will kill you. ”
Liu Yishou's tone was hateful, and Zhong Jiuchou had to open his eyes and persuade: "Uncle Hand is tired, let your old man run this trip at night." Who makes your medical skills the best in the world. As soon as he made a move, His Majesty turned the corner. ”
"You don't slap me on the back. Don't think I'm not angry when I say that. If you hadn't come to beg me, or if the family knelt in front of me, I wouldn't have come out. Don't you know that this family is taking advantage of you? On weekdays, I see that you are better than a monkey, but when you meet someone from the Shi family, you become a fool. It you off. ”
Zhong Jiuchou was silent for a moment before he said, "After all, the family raised me." And when my mother passed away, she asked me not to forget the kindness of the family when she helped. You can't be ungrateful. ”
"You, are you still helping Shi Xi less? If you hadn't helped him settle the ministers who sued the emperor back then, would they have the status of their family today? Will his Shixi's grandson become emperor? That location should be yours. ”
"Uncle Hand, don't say this kind of thing again in the future. I have no intention of that position. The final nine chou eyes were heavy.
Liu Yi glared at him: "I see that you have fallen for the beauty scheme, so you gave up the throne in a daze." ”
Zhong Jiuchou's handsome face instantly turned cold.
"I've always treated her as a sister. There was never anything else on mind. How many times do you have to say this? ”
"It's useless for you to tell me, you tell the Queen Mother. The way I look at you today when I look at her is not just treating you as a brother. You have to be careful. You're now her junior. It is His Majesty's brother. If you spread some gossip, your two brothers won't be able to tolerate you. ”
Liu shook his head with a worried face.
