Although Xiang Yeqi also muttered a few words from time to time about how "annoying" Bo Zhaoxu is, the concerns reminded by the female imperial doctor are that she will never put on Bo Zhaoxu.

"Your concerns are not unreasonable, but all of them are of my own choosing, and I have some sense of proportion. Throne, how many people can resist such temptation? Even if it were me, I might not be able to give it up, and I was very clear that I would not be moved by external objects, but whether I could do it or not, I would not want to interfere with his choice. ”

Xiang Yeqi smiled bitterly, "He should also know who I am, if there is really a day when I look at each other and hate each other, then I know each other and leave, and I don't have to take my life." ”

At that time, the words were just a joke, but Bo Zhaoxu repeatedly proved to Yeqi that he regarded her as his life.

"I've known him so far, and there are many people who want to make friends with me, maybe because I really have something for him to appreciate, or maybe it's just because of my identity as the fourth princess. They showed favor to me, in fact, most of them wanted to send the post of the banquet to his Bo Zhaoxu. I was always cautious, for fear of implicating him. ”

Although he was in front of Bo Zhaoxu, he was quite cautious when he admitted that he was outside.

The female imperial physician felt even more offended: "Xu is the minister is too worried, he shouldn't say much about this matter, it will inevitably have the intention of provoking the relationship between you and the Fourth Highness." ”

"I don't think there's anything wrong with it, you're doing it for my good."

Xiang Yeqi patted the female imperial doctor's shoulder casually, and was about to leave, and said with relief: "But I thought about it later, identity is just identity. The person I like is him, and he can only be him. ”

……

Xiang Yeqi and Bo Zhaoxu and his party returned to Huaguo as scheduled, and the queen came to greet them in a sassy suit, but she actually took Xiang Yeqi into her arms and kicked over Bo Zhaoxu's thousand-year-old vinegar essence.

"Queen Mother, why don't you let me go first......"

For a while, Xiang Yeqi really couldn't tell whether it was the queen's embrace that made her breathless, or whether Bo Zhaoxu's gaze as if he was saying "very good" made her tremble a little.

The queen also reluctantly let go of Xiang Yeqi because she didn't know the "seriousness" of the matter, and said, "Could it be that the palace is too heavy?" ”

"That's not ...... either"

Xiang Yeqi's afterglow glanced at Bo Zhaoxu behind him, and the queen reacted in hindsight, Xiang Yeqi is coaxing again.

She didn't say much, she only threw the token in her arms into Bo Zhaoxu's hand: "Thank you Fourth Highness for allowing the palace to be willful these days, it can be regarded as a matter of heart, that is, if you want to leave the capital in the future, you can also go on the road with peace of mind." ”

Xiang Yeyan suddenly reacted: "Listening to the meaning of the queen's mother, are you planning to leave the capital in the future and travel around?" ”

"Yes, although the capital is good, but the palace is no longer the mother of a country, and there is no reason why you must stay in Beijing to take care of the overall situation. The queen pursed her lips and smiled proudly, not the pale look she had been a few months ago: "You can't stay where you are, can you?" ”

Bo Zhaoxu handed the token to Nanchen and put it away properly, and asked Duansu: "This king has been away from Beijing for a while, what is the news in Beijing?" What the queen mother is bent on doing, how is it done? ”

is to avenge her righteous son.

"One step too late."

The queen shook her head sadly, crossed her hands on her waist, and said sadly: "I found out where his sister was taken captive, but after such a long time, that girl has been tortured so much that she can hardly even speak, let alone recognize him, it is not easy to save a life." ”

"How do people deal with it?"

Xiang Yeqi is very concerned about this matter.

"This palace originally wanted to behead all the masterminds involved, but if you think about it carefully, this palace is just acting for the four highnesses, and it is still appropriate to take care of some small things, involving life and death or things to be punished, most of them have to be told the truth, and it is okay for this palace to be instructed by others, but I am afraid that rashly executing them will make it difficult for the four highnesses to do and make the four highnesses stigmatized. ”

The queen thought about it carefully, "So this palace ordered someone to detain all of them in the prison, and when you come back for a retrial, it can be regarded as going through some formalities and punishing them clearly." It's funny to say, this palace took people to count which adults are involved yesterday, and they also made a lot of nonsense, saying that they have always used the four highnesses, and the four highnesses will definitely release them. ”

Just hearing the rampant attitude of these people, Xiang Yeqi pulled Bo Zhaoxu's sleeve angrily: "Lord Wang, you can't let them go easily!" Just like the old monarch of Western Xia, if you don't let him suffer some hardships, he won't know that he is wrong, and he will be released tomorrow, and he may not be able to kill any girl from another family. ”

The maid rushed back from outside the hall in a hurry, just in time for Xiang Yeyu to say this, and handed over the list of guilty ministers in the prison to Bo Zhaoxu: "Your Highness, please see, the names and surnames of all the ministers involved in this case have been recorded on paper, and you can also go to the prison in person for interrogation, depending on the severity." ”

Those courtiers often did not look at women as human beings, and Yingyan went to collect the handprints, and was ridiculed a lot, muttering something: "What if Hugh wants to say that the little hoof is tortured inhumanly, even if you kill her directly?" The life of the minister of the DPRK and the Central People's Republic of China is no match for a little girl? ”

But Yingyan was very angry, and he had to maintain his composure in front of a crowd, so as not to lose his proportion.

In the past, if the old emperor was in charge of the government, he would indeed treat the lives of the courtiers as more precious, and it really involved human lives, but it was just a show, making people suffer from more than a dozen boards, and deducting a few months of money without light or heavy, maybe he couldn't catch up with more than one hundredth of the family's property, and he wanted to let those ministers know their mistakes, which was simply a joke.

Next time, I can even poke out a bigger one.

But it is a simple dozen boards, and the queen does not dare to punish them easily, lest someone use this to make some articles, which will really add to the chaos.

Bo Zhaoxu took the blank paper with his fingerprint, and after the name, he also recorded the charges of these courtiers, Liu Shangshu, who was the highest official, was the most "innocent", but he accepted "bribes" from other subordinates, and the others were people who conspired to go to the water, someone who conspired to kill people, or insulted other girls with Liu Shangshu.

But in fact, Liu Shangshu knew about their plan early and acquiesced.

"The king knows."

Bo Zhaoxu handed the paper back to Yingyan nonchalantly, and just when Yingyan thought that those courtiers had no hope of retribution, Bo Zhaoxu continued: "Since you princesses are upset when they see sinners like them, then behead them all, and this king will bear everything for all." ”

The queen was stunned at first, and then reacted after a long time: "It's hard for His Royal Highness to have this kind of thought, and the atmosphere in the court is not right." A few days ago, I heard from the subordinates sent back by His Royal Highness that the county lord of the Chang Dynasty was taken captive by the traitor Gu Yanchao? I don't know if it's okay at this moment? ”

Xiang Yeqi said: "I heard that the imperial doctor said that the body of the county lord of the Chang Dynasty is fine, but the scald is difficult to treat, I'm afraid I have to find some other famous doctors to take a look, but she will refuse to see people, so she has to put it on hold first." ”

The rumors are so terrifying, Xiang Yeqi couldn't be clearer, so when Wu Zixi disappeared, Xiang Yeqi never said half a word to the outside world, and all those in the know acquiesced that Wu Zixi was deeply frustrated and chose to heal himself behind closed doors, and even the queen only knew a little bit.

The queen nodded with emotion, thinking of Wu Zixi's past glory, she couldn't help but regret: "The county lord of the Chang Dynasty has really suffered too much, and these things should not be borne by her. The Fourth Highness is also back now, and the day of his accession to the throne has been set? It's always put on hold, and it's not so reasonable. ”

Bo Zhaoxu didn't rush to agree, but took a sip of tea indifferently, and used his spare eyes to worry about Xiang Ye's expression, hooking his lips and smiling: "The day should be finalized by the Ministry of Rites, just be close." ”

The small movements of the two of them naturally caught the queen's eyes, and she smiled knowingly, full of the meaning of urgency: "The palace knows." In this way, the position of the lord of the middle palace of this palace can't sit for a few days, and anyway, this palace is the one who is leaving, so why can't you let go of those things. ”

The queen's open-mindedness is enviable, until when she went to visit Wu Zixi, she recorded her heart in the night, which only reflected how bitter and sad Wu Zixi's face was.

Wu Zixi is now a real child, and she has to soak in a jar, otherwise the wound left by the burn will be so painful that she is difficult to sedate, and she can only rely on medicine to relieve the pain. Probably trying to escape from his own face, Wu Zixi wears a bulky cloak all day long, even when he sleeps.

She was afraid of her wounds, she was afraid of seeing herself.

"Yeqi, you're here."

The corners of Wu Zixi's mouth were still smiling, not covered by the cloak, and she cowered in the corner of the bed, holding a patched pillow.

Xiang Yeqi whispered, and sat on the edge of Wu Zixi's bed, which seemed to be only separated by a scattered bedding, but in fact, there was an untouchable galaxy.

The county lord's mansion, which has not been inhabited for nearly a year, has some old smell of dust, and Xiang Yeqi always feels that Wu Zixi is also trapped in the past and difficult to get out.

After a long time, Xiang Yeqi took the initiative to speak: "Changchao County Lord, did I do things too impulsively, which made you a little confused, so I chose this step?" Or is it something I'm doing wrong? Should I have followed your wishes instead of forcing you out of the fire and making you fight against yourself......"

"Yeqi, I have never blamed anyone, even Gu Yanchao, I just hate him. Some things have always been my own choice, and if I blame others for these mistakes, it will be my fault. ”

Wu Zixi's voice was very weak, and her throat was probably a little injured, but she still didn't forget to say a few more words to comfort Xiang Yeqi: "It's because I want to put aside all my relationship with him so much, whether it's life or death, as long as I can escape from that predicament, I will want to give it a try." ”
