The emperor has no time to come to the harem these days, mainly for the affairs of northern Xinjiang.

Jing Lan and Yin Che were like crazy, and in half a month, they defeated the enemy forces in Panhuan Northern Xinjiang for many years, and the other party also quickly sent a peace letter, not long ago, the peace book arrived in the capital quickly.

Yin Che didn't need Jing Lan to handle the rest of the matter by himself, and Jing Lan didn't have to continue to be at the border, so he also sent a letter to Yin Mu and asked to return to Beijing.

But Yin Mu felt that the northern kingdom was cunning, and in order to prevent them from coming back after Jinglan retreated, Jinglan was not allowed to come back.

Jing Lan felt more and more that Yin Mu was not allowed to return to Beijing because he had done something sorry for him.

The two letters went back and forth, and two months passed, and Jing Lan was now on pins and needles in northern Xinjiang, and he couldn't contain the worries in his heart, so he set off to return to Beijing without Yin Mu's consent.

Yin Mu was almost angry when he received this news. Busy from the court to the imperial study all day long, convening the ministers to discuss two things, one is how to deal with Jinglan, and the other is in case the real northern Xinjiang comes again, Yin Che can't resist it, and Jinglan can't go back yet? If it's too late to go back, who should they send out to deal with?

After discussing for so many days, he couldn't find a way to deal with it, Yin Mu couldn't wait to leave the minister in the imperial study to lay on the floor, if it weren't for those women who found the palace, he would really do it.

On this day, it was not until the middle of the night that those ministers were allowed to go back, and Yin Mu was still in the imperial study, thinking that the affairs in the northern Xinjiang were so worrying to him, and other trivial government affairs were also piled up, his brain was buzzing.

He rubbed his sour eyes and lamented.

He didn't allow the palace people to wait when he was deliberating, and now that the ministers had left, Yin Nuo came in and said, "Your Majesty, the queen has been waiting outside for a long time." ”

Yin Mu sighed lightly and nodded, "Call her in." ”

After a while, the queen walked in slowly with a food box, saluted with a smile, put the food box in her hand on the imperial case, and then moved lightly, went around behind Yin Mu, hugged Yin Mu's neck, and said with a smile: "Wulang, I boiled chicken soup with my own hands today, you drink a bowl, okay?" ”

Yin Mu smiled reluctantly: "I'm not hungry, you can let it go." Today, we are discussing the affairs of northern Xinjiang, and there are many other government affairs that have not yet been disposed of. ”

The queen didn't comply, and said coquettishly: "Wulang, the concubine has been waiting for you for two hours, and this chicken soup has been hot five times, so you can take a sip while it's hot!" ”

Yin Mu looked at the bowl of chicken soup with oil flowers floating on it, he really had no appetite, and sighed: "I am indeed not hungry. ”

As soon as she heard him call himself "I" instead of "I", the queen was keenly aware that she should not continue to do this, and after a moment's pause, it was already the style of the lord of the harem to speak: "What worries does the emperor have, can you tell the concubine?" It is also the duty of concubines to share worries for the emperor. ”

"It's okay, I can solve it myself." Yin Mu chuckled, "You go back to the dormitory first, and I'll go to see you when I'm free." ”

The queen's eyebrows drooped slightly, and her hands under the wide sleeves were clenched tightly. Under the candlelight, Yin Muming's yellow dragon robe shook her eyes, and the swaying was blurred.

In fact, she had already sent someone to inquire before she came, and she knew why Yin Mu was worried, she thought that Yin Mu could take the initiative to tell her, even if he said that he didn't let Jing Lan come back because of An Ge, she recognized it. But he didn't want to talk to her......

The queen still didn't give up, and finally couldn't help but ask: "The emperor is unwilling to let Jinglan come back, is it for state affairs, or for An Ge?" ”

She knew she shouldn't ask before she said this, and after saying this, she knew that it might be a storm that awaited her.

has been a pillow person for so many years, she can't tell whether the love with Yin Mu in the past is true or false, she only knows that if she really touches his scales, no one will end well.

Except for Ange.

So she had to worry about Yin Mu's feelings for An Ge, and she was worried that Yin Mu's wisdom would be ruined on An Ge.

When she said this, Yin Mu no longer looked at her, and looked at the fold in his hand again, at this time he didn't raise his eyelids, as if he heard what a ridiculous thing, only smiled faintly and replied: "You think too much." ”

"Then why didn't the emperor just let Jinglan come back? He and the four princes have been on the battlefield for a long time, and since he wants to come back, the situation in the northern frontier must be foolproof......"

Yin Mu looked at her at this time, as if she was displeased: "The queen seems to be very proficient in warfare?" ”

"......" The queen was silent for a long time, and finally said melancholy, "The concubine is a deep lady, how can she understand any war?" ”

"Since I don't understand, I don't need to say more." Yin Mu said in a deep voice.

The queen was aggrieved, but she didn't dare to say anything, and finally said with a cry: "Since this is the case, the concubine will retire first." ”

After that, the queen saluted, turned around and walked out quickly, but Yin Mu didn't stop her, and didn't even look up to see how thin her back was when she left.

endured until she was in her palace, and the queen told all the palace maids to retreat, leaving only Zicui by her side, and then began to burst into tears.

Zicui has been serving her for so long, and she knows that if the queen is not extremely sad, she will never cry.

She sighed in her heart, went out and poured some warm water and brought it in, twisted the handkerchief, handed it forward and said: "Queen Mother, wipe it, your eyes are swollen, tomorrow when the concubine comes to ask for peace, she will see it, maybe she will think about something." ”

"This palace can't cry in the eyes of outsiders, and now you also think that this palace can't cry?" The queen turned to look at her and asked sadly.

Zicui hurriedly shook her head: "The slave doesn't dare to think so, but you are the queen's mother, the head of the six palaces, and you have to take care of the queen's face." ”

The queen became more and more aggrieved in her heart: "Yes, if this palace is not forced to do so, how can she be willing to be this thankless queen?" Bengong and Zhao Meiren are like them, looking at the script and writing articles every day, but the days are still happy? Now that the emperor is doing this kind of thing for the wife of the minister, if the palace does not persuade her, in the future, the official will say that the queen of the palace did not do a good job and did not persuade the emperor, but the palace went to persuade today, did he listen? ”

It's not that that's even more sad...... In fact, she knew in the past that Yin Mu's "favor" to her was more "grace" than "love", and the meaning of "grace" was that Yin Mu rewarded her in the face of the husband and wife.

But even so, they have been raising eyebrows for many years, and now for the sake of a woman he shouldn't get, he completely ignores the relationship between husband and wife for so many years.

If she hadn't taken the initiative to leave, Yin Mu would have been angry with her!

Zicui understood the queen's words, her mind moved, and said: "Since the queen can't persuade the emperor, otherwise go and persuade An Ge, the slave maid guess that Miss An has been locked up in Jingyang Palace and is not allowed to come out, and even Concubine Zhuang can't see her, she must not know the news of General Jing's return to the city, if she knows that General Jing is coming back and the emperor won't let her, she will definitely persuade the emperor." Niangniang has saved her a few times in the past, think

Even if Miss Bi'an looks at the kindness of the past, she will know how to choose. ”

The queen stopped crying, thinking that it was indeed reasonable, she knew that An Ge was absolutely loyal to Jinglan, as long as An Ge would rather die, the emperor should not use force.

But she remembered another thing...... "Now that the emperor doesn't let her come out, and no one else is allowed to come over to see her, what can this palace do to tell her?" ”

"The slave knows that the maidservants around her can come out, otherwise the palace maids who send food in every day can also send news for the queen mother."

The queen thought that this idea was feasible, and hurriedly said, "Well, you will do it tomorrow." ”

Verdite responded.

But before tonight passed, Yin Mu sent another edict to the Sixth Palace, saying that the queen was in poor health, and she would be recuperating in the palace in the past few days, so she was exempted from the concubines of the palace. And she doesn't have to take care of the affairs of the harem, the sundries are done by the female officials of the various departments and bureaus, and the concubines take care of themselves.

When the queen received this will, she cried even more, she didn't have anything to do with taking away the right to manage the six palaces, she didn't manage it before, and now she is happy to be idle. It's just that I'm afraid that from now on, I will be like An Ge, imprisoned by him in this temple, and I won't even see the daylight.

It's house arrest and power seizure, it's like a waste.

What made her even more sad was that the emperor cared so much about An Ge.

She just said a few words, and Yin Mu beat her in such a big battle.

He is probably unwilling to give "grace" to her wife, and he is not even willing to give face.

Fortunately, before Yin Nuo came over to announce the decree, Zicui went out to look for Ning Jiu, she told Ning Jiu about the matter briefly, Ning Jiu listened to it, and knew that the big thing was not good, so he immediately went back to tell An Ge.

"What? The general is coming back? After listening to Ning Jiu's words, An Ge's face was full of joy, and then he sank again, "But the emperor didn't agree to him coming back, and he came back without permission, wouldn't it be a ...... to resist the decree?"

Ning Jiu frowned and said: "No, Zicui also told the slave maid that yesterday the queen mother went to persuade the emperor to let the general come back and reunite with his wife, but the emperor didn't listen, and he didn't know what happened in the imperial study later, and the queen came back crying." ”

An Ge stroked his forehead and sighed, "What is the war at the border pass?" Is it really nervous and inseparable from the general? I don't know about this, I don't know what Yin Mu did if he didn't call the general back. ”

Ning Jiu said disdainfully: "That emperor has never fought before, what can he understand?" However, our general has experienced a hundred battles, and since he said that he can come back, he will definitely be able to come back! ”

An Ge pondered for a moment and nodded, "Well, I also believe in the general. ”

But even if she believed that she was now locked up in Jingyang Palace by Yin Mu, and there were so many guards outside, she couldn't get out.

After she unceremoniously drove Yin Mu away last time, Yin Mu didn't come again, and now he couldn't see Yin Mu to persuade him.

At this time, there was a palace maid outside to deliver lunch, and Ning Jiu went out to bring it in.

"Let's eat first, and then we'll talk about that." An Ge opened the food box and took a look, and immediately tightened his brows, there was only one bun in it.

In the past, although Yin Mu did not allow her to go out, at least there was never a shortage of three meals a day.

She was in a worse mood and said, "Yin Mu is so poor now? Actually only give me two steamed buns? ”

Ning Jiu looked at the bun for a long time and didn't speak, and suddenly, she reached out and took out the bun, broke the bun, and pulled out a piece of writing paper from it......
