705

The emperor sat on top of the chariot with his eyes closed and said nothing.

Qu Qing saw it on the side, and knew that it was not good, so he hurriedly called the little eunuch who was carrying the chariot: "Don't be careful, slow down." ”

"Go to the study?" The eunuch who started asked.

"Let's go to Cuiming Palace!" Qu Qingdao, the emperor can't go to the study like this.

As soon as the emperor's chariot arrived at Cuiming Palace, Concubine Zeng Li brought someone out to greet her. Seeing that the emperor's expression was wrong, Concubine Zeng Li didn't have time to salute, so she hurriedly stepped forward and asked softly, "Your Majesty, does you have a headache?" ”

"I feel a little uncomfortable," the emperor opened his eyes and comforted Concubine Zeng Li: "It was too noisy in the early dynasty, and it was a headache for them, just take a rest." ”

"Then Your Majesty, please come in, the concubine will serve you to lie down for a while, and then help you rub the acupuncture points." Concubine Zeng Li said and picked up the emperor with Qu Qing and walked indoors.

After lying down, the emperor said to Qu Qing: "I've been too tired lately, let's stop early!" Pick up the important ones and hand them over, and hand over the rest to the two places under the Zhongshu Gate to deal with! ”

After Qu Qing went down, the emperor took Concubine Zeng Li's hand and said, "From tomorrow onwards, you will learn to deal with political affairs, and I will teach you." ”

Concubine Zeng Li was startled when she heard this, and hurriedly said, "Why did Your Majesty suddenly say this? The concubine is just a concubine, how can she meddle in the affairs of the previous dynasty? What's more, I don't understand anything, if Your Majesty is tired and wants to take a break, these things can be handled by King Duan, and when you are well recuperated, you will be in power. ”

"Fool, I'm getting older, and I've been feeling really poor lately, so it's time to think about the future. You are young and unconvinced, and you are too young, so you can't feel at ease when you think of your mother and son. The emperor shook his head and said solemnly: "Once I really have mountains and rivers, how should you deal with yourself?" ”

Concubine Zeng Li couldn't help crying and said, "Your Majesty, please don't say these words again, the concubine's heart will be broken as long as she hears it." You are a true son of destiny, and you will definitely live a long life. I just want to be a vine that clings to a big tree, and will always be by your side. ”

The emperor gently wiped her tears, and stroked her smooth bun with his hand: "How can I be willing to let go of your mother and son!" However, if people have no long-term concerns, they must always take things into account. It's not that I'm desperate, it's that the world is unpredictable. ”

"Isn't there still a prince? When he is about to be raised, he will naturally be able to share the emperor's worries. Concubine Zeng Li wiped away her tears and said: "The concubine is just a little woman, and she can't do anything else except serve the emperor." ”

"I'll only tell you this, the prince has been weak since he was a child, and I'm afraid he won't live long." The emperor sighed and said: "After experiencing this series of blows again, it is even more difficult to support it like weak grass through frost." ”

"Your Majesty, don't say it, I won't do this anyway." Concubine Zeng Li shook her head desperately and refused: "For example, everyone thinks that I am a fox and a fool of the Lord, and I am compared to my own praise." If I did, I wouldn't be able to tell. What's more, it's not a pity for me to die, but I can't affect Your Majesty. If you treat me well, I won't be able to pay off being a cow or a horse in my next life. Please don't add any more sins to me. ”

"It's all child's talk, and now it's come to this. You're stepping back, and no one thinks you're innocent. The emperor sighed heavily: "What's more, if you really retreat, you will only end up in pieces." ”

Concubine Zeng Li was a little stunned, she didn't know what to say, tears were still hanging on her face, and she looked ignorant and innocent.

When the emperor saw this, he felt great pity in his heart, took her into his arms, and said in his ear: "Don't be afraid, I will protect you." ”

Concubine Zeng Li nodded and said, "Your Majesty's concubine has something I want to discuss with you. ”

"You say it's what it is." The emperor said.

"The concubine thought that the prince was sick now, and there was no competent person around to take care of him, so she felt unbearable." Concubine Zeng Li sighed lightly and said, "But I don't dare to rush forward, otherwise I'm afraid that the prince will think too much and make him sick." ”

"You're always so kind and considerate of others." The emperor smelled Concubine Zeng Li's body fragrance and felt that his headache was relieved: "But the more you are like this, the more some people think that you have bad intentions." If the queen wasn't suspicious, how could she do such a thing? ”

Speaking of the queen, the emperor couldn't help but feel depressed in his chest, after all, he still felt that the queen was too sad for his heart.

"No matter if others hate me, I don't care, as long as the emperor can understand me, it's enough." Concubine Zeng Li said and drilled into the emperor's arms again: "So the concubine thinks that if you can let Manager Qu take care of the prince, first, it can show Your Majesty's concern for the prince, and second, the prince will naturally recover faster when he relaxes his mood." But it's all my thoughts, and I don't know if it's appropriate or not. ”

"The queen treats you like that, and you can still care about the prince regardless of your previous suspicions, it's really commendable," the emperor was very pleased to hear it: "So let Qu Qing pass!" I don't go to court now, it's enough to have other people to serve. ”

"Your Majesty, don't worry, there is nothing else in my palace, and there are still a few unsuccessful minions." Concubine Zeng Li pursed her lips and smiled: "As long as the emperor doesn't dislike it." ”

After a while, Qu Qing, who had gone to deliver the message, came back, and the emperor said to him: "You don't have to wait here this month, go to the prince's side!" Just now, Concubine Li said that there are no competent people on the prince's side, so it is more appropriate for you to go over. Go over there and tell the prince to recuperate and not think about it. If you want anything, you can just say it, but there is one thing, that is, you are not allowed to see the queen. ”

Qu Qing was still a little hesitant after listening to the emperor's orders, he had been serving by the emperor's side for thirty years and had never left.

So when I heard the news, I was inevitably a little stunned, but the emperor has already explained, what can he do as a slave? Really respectfully agreed: "The slave knows, and the slave will pass over in a while." ”

"Manager Qu, the prince has to worry about you." Concubine Zeng Li smiled like a flower: "I hope you can understand the painstaking efforts of Your Majesty and me, and enlighten the prince a lot, so that he can think of the world and take a long-term view." ”

"The slave remembers, and he will definitely convey the words of the mother to the prince." Qu Qing hurriedly said.

"Okay, Qu Qing, you go down! I'm going to sleep for a while. "The emperor is really tired, and at this time he really can't support it.

Qu Qing didn't dare to delay, bowed and retreated, packed up some of his usual things and went to the prince's side.

The prince was sick at this time, and he was more emaciated than before.

Seeing Qu Qing coming, his expression couldn't help but show a little haste, thinking that he was here to deliver the holy decree.

To tell the truth, he has now become a frightened bird, panicking every day, and I don't know when a catastrophe will come in front of him.
