As soon as these words came out, Yu Zhao's heart was a little panicked, and he looked at him stunned. The queen hurriedly softened her tone. "Don't be nervous, I've been around for many years, and I can see at a glance that you should still be a daughter. It's just that I feel fate, so I asked. ”

Yu Zhao turned his head and looked at Chu Zikai, although Chu Zikai was also surprised, he still gave her a comforting smile and asked, "There is fate, why did the queen say this?" ”

King Zephan said with a smile: "The widow's queen was also the widow's father's royal wife, but since the death of her mother, her father married the queen due to political affairs, and she has never been lucky. The original widow and her looked at the wall from afar and fell in love with each other. ”

This is the first time that someone has seen through the feelings of Yu Zhao and Chu Zikai, but seeing that the two in front of him have no malicious intent, Yu Zhao is a little relieved. I heard the queen smile at Yu Zhao and said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince looks at you with affection, just like the king looked at me back then." Like you, I seem to be a little afraid, and I only hide it for fear that people will find out. ”

Smiled kindly as he spoke, looking at the two of them with kind eyebrows, Chu Zikai was generous when he heard this, and directly smiled and held Yu Zhao's hand. Yu Zhao was still a little unable to let go, and his face was slightly red and he didn't dare to speak easily.

King Xifan said: "Concubine Chen Niangniang is in a high position but only bears a false name, there must be a reason for it, I want to come to Your Majesty also know the reason, the widow and the queen are inconvenient to explore as a foreigner. Please also rest assured that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is by no means such a person who deliberately provokes trouble. ”

Then he took the queen's hand again, as if with emotion: "Since you have affection, I am afraid that you have also considered breaking through the difficulties of the world. The widow and the queen had a deep understanding of the journey back then, but now they do not regret the suffering they suffered back then. ”

"This king can feel that the love between the king and the queen is as deep as the sea, and the affection that has been obtained through a lot of hardships is even more difficult to come by." The two seem to be the leaders of himself and Yu Zhao, and Chu Zikai is eager to use this example to prove to Yu Zhao that as long as the love is deep, the estrangement of the world is still not to be feared. He held her hand tighter and smiled, "I'm sure I'll take good care of her." ”

"It's not fate, Wang Yuan also promised me this." The queen immediately smiled, and seeing that Yu Zhao still couldn't seem to be relieved, she sat down and took her hand and comforted: "I can understand the confusion and worry in your heart, and since you have entrusted your heart to one person, you are afraid of affecting him in addition to worrying about yourself." But if you always mix this thought with your emotions, you will have many regrets. Back then, it was also the king who persisted in encouraging me not to retreat, and he would protect me. Although there were many hardships later, now you see, it has also been blessed by the people of the Western Fan Kingdom. ”

It really explained Yu Zhao's state of mind thoroughly, and the two people in front of him did give him a little confidence, Yu Zhao looked up at the queen. Whispered thanks: "Thank you, Queen."

Because of this coincidence, the king and the queen, who were over 50 years old, talked to the two juniors. They have all experienced hardships and are empathetic, and they have always told Yu Zhao and Chu Zikai about their mental journey from acquaintance to staying together. Later, as said before, she did not stir up any rumors for no reason in this matter, and when she left, the queen also gave Yu Zhao an agate stone necklace as a blessing. "This is the lake stone of Guiren Lake, I used to pick it up with my own hands when I was young, uncarved, blessed by the lake spirit, found a lover, and you fell in love, now given to you, I hope not to dislike it."

The courtesy was light and affectionate, and Yu Zhao hurriedly took it and thanked him.

The breeze was slow, and the convoy of the king and queen of the Western Fan Kingdom was getting farther and farther, and Chu Zikai and Yu Zhao walked back against the wind. Suddenly, I saw the lotus pond in the garden and the new lotus first appeared, and one of them came just in time, attracting many people to see. Chu Zikai said: "It's the right time." ”

Knowing that he was saying this to himself, Yu Zhao didn't respond, and after a few glances, he went back to Chaohui Palace. At night, I opened the window to enjoy the lotus scenery in the back garden, and found that the lotus pond in the back garden also bloomed a twin lotus. When he looked back again, Chu Zikai looked at her behind the window for I don't know how long. I only heard him say: "Zhaozhao, it's really as I said, right?" ”

Seeing him roll out of the window, Yu Zhao took the initiative to stretch out his hand this time, and Chu Zikai took it steadily and helped her down from the stone. "The king said that there is a Guiren Lake at the junction of Xifan and Dachu, and the plants and trees there are mostly twins, and if the lovers can seek the protection of the lake spirit there, they can live three lives, and I will take you there in the future."

Yu Zhao listened, his heart was touched, and he gently agreed. "Okay."

I never thought that this was just an ordinary meeting, and the affection between the two ushered in the blessing of others for the first time. It really dispelled the confusion in Yu Zhao's heart, tried to respond to his love for the torch and the wind, and threw away some worries, and his heart was light, and he realized the sweetness of this affection, which made people unable to extricate themselves and was willing to sink.

Five days later, Emperor Yuan returned from the sacrifice to the sky, and punished a courtier with a gloomy face, from the general Wen Jiang to Yu Feng and other minor civil officials. As long as he has accepted bribes but accidentally left his tail and is caught, he will be dismissed from the official at the worst, and punished by being closed at the least.

It was because on the way back from worshipping the heavens, some people stopped the royal driver to reclaim their grievances, accusing officials from all over the country of being corrupt and only admitting money and not the law. Oppressed the poor and miserable. Emperor Yuan was furious and investigated dozens of corrupt officials along the way. He also sent people to pay attention to the direction of the property of various officials in Jingzhou, and a cunning old official like Yu Cheng naturally would not be stumped. I didn't want to be careful about sailing the 10,000-year-old ship but couldn't prevent the ship from leaking by itself, and Yu Feng was greedy for a lot of money behind his back.

Even after being reprimanded, Yu Cheng hurriedly asked for a heavy punishment to show his integrity. As he wished, Yu Feng was dismissed from his post at home, and the marriage that had just been agreed with the second lady of the British government was blown away, Emperor Yuan didn't have to worry about it, Yu Zhao was happy to see it, so he said in the reply letter of Yu Cheng's family letter requesting to come forward that he had angered His Majesty because of this matter, and he didn't dare to say it again.

Yu Cheng was helpless, so he had to secretly suffer a loss, seeing that Yu Feng's future was gone, he put his mind on Yu Zhao and Chu Ziyi. Clearly and secretly began to oppose Chu Zikai, and his ambition to seize the throne was revealed, and he completely forgot about the fate of Qi Xing. Emperor Yuan saw it in his eyes, let it go, and waited for him to become more and more inflated and take it in one fell swoop.

The matter of stopping the royal car still became a knot in Emperor Yuan's heart, but along the way, more than ten corrupt officials were found. It is hard to imagine what kind of scene it is in the vast territory of Great Chu, and after careful consideration, Chu Zikai was called to secretly visit the people on the grounds of retreat, and look at officials from all over the country through the eyes of the people.

On the morning of the second day, after putting down his words, he ordered several trusted officials to discuss the matter together and finally determine the itinerary. Moving forward to the area affected by last year's disaster. Yu Zhao got the news of the car, and was forced to pick and choose with a notebook. Concubine Liu and Concubine Shen hurriedly came over to make suggestions, and the quarrel made Yu Zhao's brain hurt, so she hurriedly added the two of them, and sent the two away before they were cleaned. I don't want Emperor Yuan to detain both of them on the grounds that there is no one to take care of the emperor and grandson. Yu Zhao was happy to be clean, taking care of himself and Chu Ziyi's bags.

It was a sunny day when he set off, Chu Ziyi was elated, pointed to the horse and wanted to go up, Yu Zhao led him to Chu Zikai, handed him to hold, and got into the car himself. As soon as I lifted the curtain, I could see them smiling at themselves, and their smiles were like the warm sun of today, from the outside to the inside, warm to the bottom of their hearts.
