"If the concubine insists on thinking so, the old minister has no other way."

"You ......" The old minister didn't eat it, and Concubine Liu was also very angry for a while, but he couldn't help it, "Your lords are hustle and bustle here, and you have disturbed the emperor's tranquility." Come, please go out. ”

"The concubine insisted on refusing to let the ministers meet the emperor in person, isn't her heart empty?" Standing one step behind the old minister, the minister who thought he was a little younger spoke coldly, quite accusing Concubine Liu.

Concubine Liu's face changed slightly, her heart trembled slightly, and she barely held it up, "Nonsense, what is there to be in this palace!" ”

"Since the mother is not weak-hearted, why don't you let the lower officials meet the emperor?" The minister's face was still cold, and he spoke unceremoniously, "The lower officials are humble, and the mother doesn't dare to say more when she stops the lower officials." But Lord Xu is a veteran of the Three Dynasties, and his father, Lord Xu, was once the emperor's teacher, and Lord Xu is also half of the emperor's fellow brothers, and it is reasonable for him to visit the sick emperor, even the noble concubine Niangniang did not stop him from seeing him......"

Hearing this, Jiang Changxi probably understood what the people outside were here to do. It seems that the emperor has not woken up for a long time, and the queen mother and the third prince have the ability to reach the sky, but now they can't hold the fire with paper.

I don't know if the eldest princess of Heyang has heard the news about this, I hope she will not rush into the palace in a hurry to find out, once the eldest princess of Heyang is detained in the palace, not only the grandmother who stays in the princess's mansion will be in danger, but after the third prince controls the capital, the eldest princess may also be used to contain Han Weiqi and Xiang Liangqing.

Jiang Changxi thought to herself, her eyes slipped and turned straight along the crack in the window, and she was suddenly stunned when she swept over the dragon couch, her clear eyes met a pair of cold and deep eyes, dark and heavy like a drowning sea, and the stormy waves carried the spikes of the tarsal bones, which made her startled suddenly, and she couldn't help but take a step back, her heart was pounding, and she was afraid to kneel on the ground, "Your Majesty ......"

Is he awake? Did he hear all the words outside?

This was a long time later, and Jiang Changxi finally came to his senses before he remembered it. At this time, because Empress Dowager Liu heard the news, she ended up with the power of the ministers who were pressing back step by step.

Jiang Changxi hid in the ear room, watched Empress Dowager Liu and Concubine Liu come in one after another, looked at the emperor who was still in a 'coma', and lowered his voice and scolded Concubine Liu for not entangling with those ministers.

Concubine Liu Guifei was also aggrieved, "Those old and immortal ministers are pedantic, and they will prevaricate their nieces with words such as the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, and they always compare the queen with their nieces everywhere, and the nieces are angry, so they have two more arguments." Liu Guifei said, "And the emperor is unconscious, and he really can't see them, where does his niece dare to let them in." ”

"Auntie, Lord Xu, they are already suspicious, and they have the idea of recalling the fourth prince, my emperor's situation in the previous dynasty is getting more and more difficult, you have to think of a way." According to Concubine Liu's meaning, naturally the fourth prince could not be allowed to return to Beijing. The supreme position can only be her third prince, and she will never let the queen step on her head again to show off her might.

Empress Dowager Liu squinted her eyes slightly, quietly looking at the emperor who was in a coma, and her mind turned several times in her heart, and she did not respond to Concubine Liu's words for a long time.

Liu Guifei felt more and more uneasy because of her silence, she was not as calm as her aunt, and asked a little impatiently, "Auntie, you should think of a way." ”

Empress Dowager Liu snorted at her angrily, and her tone was scolding, "Look at you like this, how many years have you not been as calm as the third prince, no wonder the queen has been grounded, and those ministers are still reading about her." "Let so many people think, it's not that the queen is too strong, but that Liu Guifei's teammate is too stupid.

"What's so good about the queen, it's just that she has a better background, and she is just a husband and wife in distress with the emperor. What if she has the emperor's respect, it's not that she can't keep her son, she can only look at other people's sons. Liu Guifei knew how to poke the queen, so she hung this sore spot of the queen on her lips every day, poking it from time to time, it has long become a habit, and now that the queen is not in front of her, she can say it casually, it can be seen that she usually says such things in private.

Jiang Changxi deeply felt that what Empress Dowager Liu said was exaggerated, the queen may not be a good queen worthy of everyone's convincing, but compared with Liu Guifei, it is indeed much better. Sure enough, people are all contrasted.

"You're enough." Empress Dowager Liu didn't want to listen to these bastards anymore, so she ordered Concubine Liu to step down, "The mourning family and the three princes have their own arrangements for this matter, you just stay in the palace and don't make trouble." Empress Dowager Liu rubbed her forehead, and she no longer had any hope for Concubine Liu.

She even felt that it was the right choice for the emperor to insist on abolishing the queen and appointing Liu Guifei as the queen, even her own niece Empress Dowager Liu could not say against her will that Liu Guifei could be the mother of the world, and sat on the queen's throne more firmly than the queen.

Concubine Liu is unwilling, but she is just a concubine, under the premise that the queen is not abolished, her help to her son's great cause is minimal, and she and her son must rely on the strength of the Empress Dowager Liu. At this time, no matter how much unwillingness there is, you can only force it down and endure it.

After Concubine Liu left, Empress Dowager Liu called Gonggong Lu again and asked a few words about the emperor's situation in the past two days, and the medicine of the imperial doctor could be effective.

Father-in-law Lu covered up Jiang Changxi's matter, and the rest of the half-truths and half-truths were told to the Empress Dowager Liu, and the Empress Dowager Liu did not suspect him on her face, and when she left, she was instructed to serve the emperor as usual, and she must be notified of any situation.

Gonggong Lu obediently should have sent Empress Dowager Liu out of the emperor's bedroom.

Outside the dormitory, Empress Dowager Liu suddenly stopped, looked back at the magnificent and solemn emperor's bedroom, her eyes turned back to a streamer, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

She stood quietly for a while, and then got on the sedan chair with the support of the palace maid, "Go and find out, where the third prince is now, and the mourning family has something to pass on to him." ”

In the dormitory, after making sure that Empress Dowager Liu had left, Jiang Changxi took a deep breath, gently pushed open the door of the ear room and walked out, Gonggong Lu gave her a salute, she nodded slightly, knelt down in the direction of the dragon couch and saluted, "The courtier Jiang Changxi has seen the emperor." ”

Father-in-law Lu looked at Jiang Changxi in surprise, his originally somewhat puzzled gaze changed when he saw the emperor's cold and sober black eyes, and he couldn't hide his excitement and leaned forward, "Your Majesty, are you awake?" The princess is really a good doctor, and the emperor really woke up. Father-in-law Lu was so excited that he almost cried with joy.

Jiang Changxi lowered his head and maintained a saluting posture, and did not respond to Father-in-law Lu's words.

Gonggong Lu is worthy of being an old fritter who serves the emperor closely, and immediately smelled the somewhat oppressive and heavy atmosphere in the palace, silently restrained his excitement, and stood aside with his head lowered and did not dare to say anything more. Those cloudy old eyes were restless to look at Jiang Changxi for a while, and at the emperor for a while—but he didn't dare to look at the emperor too blatantly.

"So, you saved me? How do I want to reward you? The emperor looked sideways at Jiang Changxi, the coldness in his dark eyes was a little tighter, and he was no longer so pressing, but Jiang Changxi still felt that his scalp was numb, "The courtiers just did their duty as a courtier for the prince, and they didn't dare to take credit, let alone receive the reward." ”

"A Ci is a Ci, you are you. I will remember the merits of Ah Ci in my heart, and I will not forget your merits. The emperor couldn't refuse: "Or do you think I am an emperor who does not distinguish between rewards and punishments?" ”

"The courtiers don't dare." Jiang Changxi bit his lip and lowered his head a little, "The courtiers thank the emperor for rewarding." ”

"I haven't said what I want to reward, so you thank you first?"

"The emperor rewarded him, and the courtiers didn't dare not thank him."

The emperor sneered, his voice sank, and his unpretentious killing intent soared, "What if I give you death?" ”

Lu Gonggong was shocked, his legs and feet were weak, and he almost knelt down. He subconsciously looked at Jiang Changxi, but saw her kneeling on the ground, but her back was straight, and she did not show the slightest panic because of the emperor's words, but became more and more calm.

"The king wants his ministers to die, and the ministers have to die." Jiang Changxi pursed his lips and replied without hesitation.

"You're very calm." The emperor glanced at her appreciatively, "Aren't you afraid of death?" ”

"I'm afraid." Jiang Changxi straightened up, saying that he was afraid, but his eyes were clear and fearless, and he asked rhetorically, "But will the emperor give his courtiers death?" ”

With such a pair of clear and gentle eyes, it seems that all willfulness and injustice can be tolerated and smoothed out, such a quiet, gentle and courageous woman, the emperor thought, maybe he understood why Han Weiqi had to ask her, and even disregarded his life for her.

Some people only need a look to make people soft and like.

"No, it won't." The emperor said calmly, and the killing intent disappeared instantly, "Get up and speak." Show the princess a seat. ”

The heaviness that was pressing on Gonggong Lu's heart dissipated, and he had to take a long breath, raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat on his forehead, and he looked at Jiang Changxi, who had a calm face and seemed to be unaffected, this time he admired it from the heart.

"Thank you." thanked Gong Lu for bringing the round stool for her, and Jiang Changxi did not sit down politely with the emperor.

Lu Gong said fairly, he didn't dare to say anything, and retreated to his original position and stood with his hands down.

"Ah Ci arranged for you to enter the palace?" The emperor has just woken up, but his spirit is very good, and he can care about why Jiang Changxi is here.

"Yes." Jiang Changxi replied truthfully, "He went to the south. ”

"This kid has always had an opinion, and I can't control him." When it comes to the children he loves the most, the emperor also has helpless times. Otherwise, he wouldn't let Han Weiqi give half of the life-saving medicine to Jiang Changxi, even if this girl was his wife. "With him in the south, I can rest assured. What should not be at ease now is the capital city and the imperial palace. ”

The emperor looked at Jiang Changxi, who looked out of the matter and didn't care at all, and threatened: "You are here now, in the center of the vortex, and if you are not careful, you will be crushed." ”

"With the emperor here, he will protect his courtiers." Jiang Changxi made it clear that he had no fear.

"Oh?" The emperor was suspicious of Jiang Changxi's affirmation, "How dare you be sure?" ”

"Because the cold has not quit." Jiang Changxi has always been stingy in showing her trust in Han Weici to anyone, even in the face of the emperor who dislikes her, "He sent me here because your side is the safest place in the world." ”
