Above the court, the ministers were still arguing over the death of the queen mother and the queen being imprisoned in the cold palace without trial, and the emperor was advised in turn to give Commodus a headache, and Commodus immediately retreated from the court to the Yongshou Palace.

After the death of the Queen Mother, most of the palace maids in Yongshou Palace were dismissed and arranged to other places, leaving only one person around the Queen Mother to be responsible for health and other things.

When the palace maid saw Commod, she immediately saluted, and stepped forward to inquire about when she could leave the Yongshou Palace. Commodus responded with a smile, "It's soon, it's soon", but his hand ripped off the yellow curtain in front of the bed and strangled the little palace maid alive, and disguised the body as a hanging, and checked it before leaving with confidence.

Above the court, the ministers were still chattering, and Commodus appeared again in the corner behind the curtain, and the emperor swore that he would assure the ministers that the queen would be innocent, and the ministers would no longer be aggressive.

"Your Majesty!" The Yinmei jumped into the emperor's arms, and as soon as the court came, the emperor immediately came to see the Yinmei.

"What's the matter, beauty, in such a good mood?"

"Your Majesty rewarded the Dan Room grapes to your concubine a few months ago, and the concubine took them to make wine, and today opened an altar, and people want to share them with Your Majesty, and they have been waiting for Your Majesty!"

The barm pressed the emperor to his seat and poured him wine. While the emperor was happy, she talked about the queen again.

"When did you find out?" The Emperor heard the Gin talk about the body of the palace maid.

"I went out and saw it myself, and asked the little eunuch, and they told me."

"You, you are very curious, but you will not be exposed to these things in the future," said the Emperor, "I don't want beauties to have anything to do with these obscure things. ”

Yin Meiren chuckled: "Your Majesty cherishes and protects the concubine, and the concubine is grateful, but the concubine is worried that the queen is really wronged." ”

"She's not wronged, and it's not you who hurt her, what are you worried about?"

"The queen is the queen after all, besides, the concubines are not worried about the emperor, the concubines are worried about Your Majesty." Yin Meiren said.

"Oh? Beauty said come and listen. The Emperor was in high spirits.

"The queen is the only daughter of Liu Zhao, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, if the queen is wronged, how can Liu Zhao not be angry with her? Moreover, he has been an official in the court for 30 years, and the depth of his foundation is self-evident, as can be seen from those ministers who cry out for the queen day by day. The emperor has only been in the position for a month or two, and before the power is fully in his hands, there have been incidents one after another that the queen mother was poisoned and the queen became a murderer, who knows what these courtiers will do that is not good for the society and His Majesty! ”

"They dare!"

"Don't you dare, we have to guard against it!"

"What the beauty said is, it's just that I look at the queen upset, dull and tasteless, the queen's seat should be given to the beauty, otherwise I will feel indebted to the beauty."

"Your Majesty is here again! The concubine said that for the concubine, what is the queen's position, the concubine doesn't care at all, as long as she can serve Your Majesty, the concubine will be satisfied, Your Majesty always thinks about the concubine and thinks about the concubine, which is the blessing of the concubine. ”

"If you are a beauty like this, what more can you ask for!" The emperor squeezed Yinmei's weak and boneless little hand and said, "The more you are not greedy, the more I want to give the whole world to the beauty!" ”

Yin Meiren smiled coquettishly: "Who said that concubines are not greedy? ”

"What do beauties want?"

"Your Majesty knows it!" The beauty is coquettish.

"The Queen's business, right?" The emperor called Commodus with a smile, "Commodus, what's going on with the palace maid that the beauty said?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, it is the queen mother's personal palace maid, the imperial doctor checked and said that it was self-killing, and the slave also found a letter next to the corpse, the letter said that the queen mother usually beats and scolds the palace maid at every turn, and she can't bear it so she secretly poisons it, but as soon as the queen mother died, the queen was wronged, and she began to be afraid that she would eventually be found, so she committed suicide to atone for her crimes."

Yin Meiren was suspicious in her heart, but when she thought that with this letter, the queen would not have to continue to stay in the cold palace, she was still very happy and said to the emperor, "Look, Your Majesty, the concubine said that the queen was wronged, and you still don't believe it!" ”

"Hahahaha", the emperor smiled, "Yes, yes, my beauty Bing Xue is smart, it's not good for me, I shouldn't believe in beauty." I'll let people take the queen back to Yonghe Palace, and the beauty is satisfied, right? ”

With that, the two rolled together again.

The queen who returned to Yonghe Palace sat quietly at the table and read a book, but she couldn't concentrate after reading for a while, so she simply put away the book and took a walk in the imperial garden.

At this time, it is early autumn, and although it is already cool, the flowers in the imperial garden, as if they can't feel the coolness, are still struggling to bloom, a grand scene.

The queen walked slowly, and the sight suddenly reminded her of the days when she had not yet left the cabinet.

At that time, my brother had not yet run to the Hongji Ping Baise Rebellion in a rage, and he was still a carefree happy girl under the protection of her parents and her brother.

And now, my brother is far away in Hongji, he has never returned to Beijing for two years, and he is married to a husband who has never looked at him squarely, and he has endured cold treatment and rumors alone.

Thinking of this, Liu Wan sighed, didn't want to think about it anymore, and went straight back to the palace.

The next day, the emperor announced that he had found the real culprit who killed the empress dowager, and briefly explained the matter, and the ministers of the court, especially Liu Zhao, breathed a sigh of relief and praised the emperor's holy judgment.

Next is the various twists and turns reported from various places, the social drum suffered from drought, there is no harvest, and disaster relief is needed; However, because of the previous floods, the state has not been well managed, and the food for disaster relief is insufficient, resulting in public resentment and frequent riots.

Hearing these things, the emperor couldn't help but be furious: "The small disasters and tribulations in one state and two states are also troublesome!" Do I raise you to eat dry food? Liu Zhao! Water conservancy is the responsibility of your Ministry of Engineering, how do you do it? And you guys! You can't handle such a small thing well! Who's going to do the work! Don't bother me with everything. ”

Liu Zhao immediately replied: "The position of prime minister has been vacant for a long time, and the promulgation of government decrees and the affairs of the six ministries need to be ordered by His Majesty, and we dare not act recklessly, otherwise the officials of the DPRK and China have different political views, hinder each other, and cannot be handled." ”

"What a nuisance!" The emperor was quite impatient, "Then go back and choose a prime minister." ”

"But now ······"

"Didn't you just say that there was a flood in Yuzhou and a drought in Shegu? Then send the extra water from Yuzhou to Shegu, won't it be solved? Stupid! ”

"But Your Majesty, Yuzhou ······"

"No, but", the emperor interrupted Liu Zhao's words, "If you can't do it, you will give up the position of Shangshu and give it to someone else!" ”

"Yes." Liu Zhao reluctantly agreed.
