In the Queen's Palace, stacks of folds were still methodically moved over and over under her vermilion pen.

Day after day, year after year.

"Mother, it's almost lunch, you can rest for a while!" Wen Ruo walked in gently, a habit she had developed all the year round, and she no longer had any sound when she walked.

"What about Your Majesty?"

"I heard that the people in Yangchun-palace said that I played with the jade beauty last night until the fourth watch, and I haven't gotten up yet!"

Zhou Yu had been asking about the emperor who had not been in the early dynasty almost every day, so Wen Ruo would repeat one thing every day, and go to the palace of the concubines who had been fortunate the night before to inquire about the situation.

It's just that now there are more and more people in the harem, but at the same time, it is becoming more and more quiet, in Zhou Yu's words, this is really getting more and more desolate.

What is desolate is not the surrounding environment, not the flowers blooming at four o'clock, not the beautiful women like clouds, but the hearts of the people.

Hearing Wen Ruo's answer, Zhou Yu frowned slightly, and then said lightly while getting up: "Let the kitchen boil some ginseng soup and send it over." ”

"Yes!" Wen Ruo agreed, and was about to retreat, but was stopped by Zhou Yu again.

"The palace has been safe for the first two days!"

"Back to Niangniang, Ann is very divided! It's just that Li Cairen found Wushisan in the palace yesterday, and he has already been sent to the cold palace, using the will of the mother. ”

"Hmm!" Zhou Yu nodded, "Don't tolerate this kind of thing in the future, but if you violate the ban, you can just pull it down to the palace, and it doesn't matter if you die." ”

"Yes!"

Standing in this courtyard where he has lived for more than ten years, Zhou Yu stretched his waist, and when he turned his face, he saw the row of enchanting chrysanthemums in the corner.

It's late autumn again, and I sighed softly in my heart.

Then he was silent for a long time before muttering, "Five stones are scattered! ”

Just as he was about to go out, a black shadow fell in front of him in an instant.

"What's so urgent?" Although I was a little unhappy that my thoughts were interrupted, the unhappy mood was only for a moment, and the next moment I calmed down.

"The king of Chu Yue County has brought 30,000 troops to Changjing."

"What?" Zhou Yu, who had always been emotionally unemotional, was also shocked at this time, "You say it again." ”

"The king of Chu Yue County has brought an army of 30,000 and went straight to Changjing." The Man in Black repeated it again.

Zhou Yu frowned and asked, "Is he coming here like this at this time to rebel?" Don't you know that the generals who are abroad can't return to Beijing without a recall?! ”

There is already anger in the words.

"My subordinates have already sent someone to inquire, saying that there is an edict from His Majesty."

"Nonsense! How can it be! Does anyone believe it? Zhou Yu said coldly, "Why didn't you come back now, where are the others?" ”

"Now the army has been stationed fifty miles away from Changjing." Glancing up at the queen, the man in black continued, "Because the army was scattered before, and the king of Chu Yue himself was disguised as a businessman, so he has not attracted attention. ”

"Humph!" Snorted coldly, Zhou Yu said angrily, "It's all disguised, can it be a good thing?" Say that there is a decree from His Majesty to tease children?!

An army of 30,000 people went to Changjing, which made people think that there was going to be a civil strife in Dongli! No matter how dizzy Your Majesty is, it is impossible to put on such a hand! ”

After speaking, he stood there, his chest rising and falling: "What the hell is Han Lingxi going to do?!" ”

Although I vaguely understood in my heart, I didn't dare to draw conclusions so rashly.

"King Hao has not moved at this time, he has been in the Lingwang Mansion for the past few days, it seems that a friend of the Qingjun Lord has been injured, and the Qingjun Lord has been helping to take care of the Lingwang Mansion day and night, so the Hao King has not returned to the mansion much."

"Let's go!" He said for a while, without waiting for his master to speak, and was about to ask, when he suddenly received such an order.

"Dare me, where are you going?"

"That stunned boy from the Chu family!" Zhou Yu sneered: "He doesn't know the seriousness of the situation, if he really puts such a hat on it, the entire princess's mansion will be about the same." ”

"!" The man in black hurriedly spoke out to stop him.

"Let's go!"

"Think twice!" The man in black hurriedly stopped, "Niangniang is the body of a daughter, if there is any mistake, but it is really worth the loss, and why the king of Chu Yue County entered Beijing at this time has not yet figured it out."

It is even more unclear whether he really holds His Majesty's hand, and if he goes rashly at this time, if he does something wrong......"

Before he finished speaking, Zhou Yu sneered: "It would be best if you could do anything wrong, there are reasons to take the princess's mansion, and it is not cost-effective for me to get rid of such a big tumor with my life." ”

The man in black still wanted to say something, but his master, after so many years, still knew what kind of character he was, and he didn't dare to continue to disobey anything at this time, so he had to step forward and lead the way.

Changing into a light riding suit, Zhou Yu tied his hair on top like a man, and ordered the horse to find General Zhou, and he took a small group of people to the outside of Changjing City first.

Although it was a first-class fast horse, it still took more than three hours to travel fifty miles.

It's getting dark.

The blood-like remnant sun splashed the sky like a red blood-like sunset.

Zhou Yu and his entourage were stretched out by such a sunset.

"Phew!" With a long neigh, the horse stopped, looking at the huge soldier camp over there, Zhou Yu's face showed a trace of coldness that he couldn't see the real meaning.

At this time, I had already started to make food, and I could see the curling smoke everywhere.

Zhou Yu sneered: "It's really true that the people who live in the palace are all dead people!" ”

"Niangniang is angry for the time being, it's not easy to talk here, let's let my subordinates go to explore the truth first, in case they are very tough, if they start fighting without saying a word, Niangniang can get out."

Zhou Yu said coldly: "This palace doesn't need to be like this, it's just a twenty-year-old stunned boy, and this palace is not afraid that he will turn the sky upside down." ”

"Go! Get that kid out! ”

couldn't tell what his subordinates were saying, so Zhou Yu spoke first.

In the end, knowing what his master had always done, at this time the order was given, there was no room for bargaining, so he agreed and rode away.

When he had gone far away, and his shadow was barely visible in the twilight, the sound of horses' hooves rumbled behind him.

When he saw the woman in front of him, General Zhou breathed a long sigh of relief and rode over quickly: "Auntie! ”

"Yu Gong, you have to call me a queen."

There was no expression on Zhou Yu's face, but General Zhou smiled, and then jumped off the horse and said seriously: "I've seen the queen mother." ”

"Hmmm! Get up! ”

Standing up, he didn't get on the horse again, but stood next to Zhou Yu's horse, and asked with a far-sighted vision: "How could this King of Chu Yue return to Beijing at this time?" And with such a big formation, did he eat the guts of the ambitious leopard? ”

"I'm afraid that the heart of the people is also big!" Zhou Yu's face had no expression at this time.

"Auntie, according to my nephew, you better go back to the palace first! Let my nephew send someone to the palace and tell Your Majesty, you ......"

"You think I'm a woman, so I shouldn't stand up at this time, right?" Zhou Yu interrupted him and asked rhetorically.

"Huh?" Interrupted by his aunt's words, General Zhou didn't know how to answer this mouth for a while, and only replied after a while, "It's because you are a woman who is the queen, and you really don't need to do it yourself." ”

"A person, the higher he stands, the closer he is to the sky, and the greater the responsibility he has to bear, I am the queen, but the queen does not mean to sit in the deep palace and wait for the old dead.

The queen is the mother of a country, so she has the responsibility to work hard for her people, at this time Your Majesty does not stand up, if I do not stand up, then my central government will not become a joke, let others in and out. ”

Her words made General Zhou unable to refute, but he could only see the woman's appearance clearly when he stood in his position and looked up.

In his memory, this woman seemed to have always stood so tall, as if those shoulders had always been so strong, and had never fallen, as she had just said, that there was a responsibility on it.

So, will she get tired?

General Zhou was a little frightened by this idea, but he was attracted by it.

Maybe...... Will it be?!

"Auntie! Did you let the prince's cousin leave because you didn't want him to stand too tall? ”

General Zhou, who asked this sentence, was a little confused, although his aunt was very good with them in private when she did not touch on the issue of principle.

But isn't it too rude to ask if this sentence of your own?

After all, she is in that place, she must have her own emotions that she doesn't want to be discovered!

Zhou Yu finally lowered his head, looking at this junior who had the best relationship with him in his mother's family, and found that because of his gaze, he had lowered his head, and couldn't help but show a smile of unknown meaning.

For a long time, just when General Zhou thought she was about to get angry, there was an almost inaudible sigh from above, and then there were two words faintly: "Yes!" ”

General Zhou's heart was shocked, and he raised his head, only to find that the woman was looking at him with a pair of loving eyes: "Aunt is also a mother!" Your crown prince brother is not suitable for this imperial city in the first place, if he insists on going his own way, he will not only pit himself, but also pit thousands of people in Dongli, and my aunt does not have the ability to provoke this responsibility. ”

"Then ......," General Zhou thought for a moment, and then asked, "Then is it because of the fact that the people of our Zhou family have never had a very strong position in the court?" ”

Zhou Yu didn't answer him out loud, but closed his eyes and nodded lightly.

Then there was the sound of horses' hooves ahead, and Zhou Yu's face regained his composure, and his eyes looked ahead like torches. 638
