Wu Yunzhao burst into tears and said, "Dad, my daughter has the courage to say something that I don't like. I think that even if Your Majesty escapes the catastrophe this time, this body will not be as good as before, and he may not have the energy to deal with heavy government affairs, and government affairs must be delegated to officials. The daughter is the queen, you are the prince, the abbot, the prime minister, the high and powerful, almost enveloped the government affairs, our Wang family is too eye-catching, in order to seek stability, you still take your mother to hurry away from the court, go to live a clean life, don't be wise in life, and finally the gutter capsized and was destroyed in the hands of the villain, so that the old age could not be spent in peace, and the family was ruined. ”

It is not a matter of having a social heart and upholding kindness, so that you can live with peace of mind. There are always people with bad intentions, who use all their means, play tricks frequently, and teach people to be unguardable.

Of course, Wu Yunzhao's main purpose in saying this is to urge Wang Kangrui to stay away from the court as soon as possible and make way for his own seizure of power.

Wang Kangrui nodded slowly and said, "Okay, my father listens to you, and after the autumn test, the officials of the court and the central government are arranged, and my father will immediately go to the fold." ”

Wu Yunzhao was overjoyed, and said in his heart: "You dare to go to the fold, and the old lady will give you a approval immediately." Wen Yan said: "Father is relieved, don't worry about his daughter, her daughter has gained a firm foothold in the palace and will not be bullied anymore." ”

Wang Kangrui said in his heart: "The bad boy who bullied you is being punished!" He nodded again, told his daughter a few words, and left quickly.

In the Taiji Palace, Xiong Yan is still the same, unconscious.

Sun Hongxiang's eyes were slightly red, and she obviously stayed awake all night.

Wu Yunzhao took Sun Hongxiang's hand and comforted: "The concubine has worked hard, go back and rest first, and come back in the evening." ”

Sun Hongxiang wanted to stay, and when she heard that she could come over at night, she was relieved and obediently agreed.

Wu Yunzhao sat at the head of Xiong Yan's bed for a while, arranged for Concubine Xian and Lu Chongrong to come to serve, chatted with several imperial doctors, and was about to leave, only then did he turn a corner and meet a team of palace maids. There are four palace maids in this team, and they usually serve Xiong Yan to change clothes, comb his hair, rinse his mouth, and clean his face.

Wu Yunzhao said: "Stop! ”

The four palace maids stood together, bowed and saluted, stood against the wall, and waited with their heads bowed one by one.

Wu Yunzhao and Xiao Shun exchanged glances, saw Xiao Shun nodded, knew that his judgment was correct, and said, "Raise your head!" ”

The four palace maids looked up in unison.

Wu Yunzhao looked from left to right, then from right to left, and finally his gaze fell on the face of the last palace maid.

The palace maid was quite calm, her eyes trembled slightly, and she wanted to avoid Wu Yunzhao's gaze, but she resisted it stubbornly, without turning her head or bowing her head.

Wu Yunzhao said in his heart: "The heart is not bad, compared with others, the skills are superior." He said, "What's your name?" ”

The palace maid held the basin and replied respectfully: "Back to the queen's mother, the slave and maid Zixiang." ”

Wu Yunzhao said: "Zixiang? The first time I came to Taiji Palace to serve, this palace looked at you with a little face, what about the palace maid before, why didn't she come? ”

Zixiang said: "Back to Niangniang's words, Zi Ning is not feeling well, and she has already announced her leave to the steward, so she asked the slave maid to take the shift." ”

Wu Yunzhao said: "So that's the case, how is Zining not lawful?" Is it a big deal? ”

Zixiang said: "Back to Niangniang, it's just a woman's monthly business, Zining is fine, just rest." ”

Wu Yunzhao nodded, looked at the other three palace maids, and asked, "What she said is the truth?" ”

The three daughters said in unison: "Back to the queen's words, it is the truth. ”

Wu Yunzhao said: "Your Majesty hasn't gotten up yet, and you don't need to serve yet, Zixiang stays, Xiaoshun, find an empty house, and take the three of them to summon you." "That's what house arrest means.

The three girls said in unison: "Yes." "Follow Xiaoshun away.

Zixiang's face had changed, and sweat was on her forehead.

Wu Yunzhao hooked his fingers and called a little eunuch.

The little eunuch said, "What do you command?" ”

Wu Yunzhao said: "Take this girl's basin and put it inside, and then bring the prince to the palace, which is in the outer hall." ”

The little eunuch replied "yes", stretched out his hand to take the basin in Zixiang's hand, but unexpectedly, he didn't 'snatch' it at once, and said hurriedly: "Let go." Harder, he snatched the basin of water, glanced at Zixiang, and hurriedly walked into the bedroom. The queen mother is on the side, if this little thing can't be done well, you won't be able to mix in the palace in the future.

Wu Yunzhao smiled: "The bones are quite hard, don't you know how to beg for mercy and confess?" ”

Zixiang was actually panicked and at a loss, and when she heard Wu Yunzhao's words, she reacted, knelt on the ground and kowtowed, begging for mercy: "The slave doesn't know what mistakes she made, and she asked the queen to be gracious." ”

Wu Yunzhao said: "Little girl, what you said is not right, according to your meaning, if you don't know the fault, that is, you are not at fault, since there is no fault, why do you need to ask the palace for mercy." Do you want to say that this palace has nothing to do and deliberately makes trouble for you? ”

Zixiang hurriedly said: "The slave doesn't dare, the slave doesn't dare, please be gracious to the queen." ”

Wu Yunzhao said: "Get up, go with the palace, shouting and screaming, you are not afraid of disturbing Your Majesty's rest, and the crime will be added to the first degree." ”

Zixiang was silent, followed behind Wu Yunzhao, and after walking a few steps, she only heard Wu Yunzhao say: "Be honest, come to think of it, you have heard of the methods of this palace, this palace dares to slash Concubine De, let alone a palace maid, don't think crookedly." ”

Zixiang let go of her fist and remained silent.
