Chapter 52: Deterrence

After Yixuan fell asleep, Zhao Zhen kissed her face. Then I got down, got dressed and went outside.

Shuang'er sat on the stone steps and took a nap.

Zhao Zhen said while straightening his sleeves: "Yixuan is asleep, you go in and watch." Remember to call her up to eat when the time comes. ”

Shuang'er agreed to enter the house, and when she walked to the door, Zhao Zhen called her and asked her to tell her what happened in the palace carefully.

After Zhao Zhen heard this, he went to the palace with a cold face.

At this time, Fu Zhen was standing on the verandah anxiously, and when he saw Zhao Zhen coming, he knelt down with a puff, "The minister pleads guilty to the prince." There was such a big incident, and the minister did not inform the prince in time......"

He bowed his head to the ground, his hands propped up at his sides, and he looked ashamed.

Zhao Zhen just looked at it lightly.

"When the princess enters the palace, you should accompany you." Zhao Zhen said.

"But...... "Fu Xuan's duty is to take care of the palace, and he does not travel with the prince or princess. But he didn't dare to say it, just lowered his head and said: "The minister didn't think it through, and I ask the prince to forgive him."

"Punish you with three months of silver. In the future, when the princess goes out of the palace alone, you must follow. Zhao Zhen patted Fu Xuan's shoulder, "Got it?" ”

"I understand."

Zhao Zhen bowed, "Get up." Send a few more people to guard the main courtyard, and don't let irrelevant people get in. ”

When I arrived outside the Yongshou Palace, it was already dusk.

The sunset melts gold, and the twilight clouds merge. The cornices and corners are all like a grand view. Zhao Zhen walked slowly from the west, like a silhouette embedded in a painting.

The gates of Yongshou Palace are closed. Zhao Zhen smiled contemptuously and slapped on the door a few times, because of the silence around him, the sound of knocking on the door was particularly abrupt.

The voice of the eunuch came out of it: "Who is it?" ”

"I heard that the queen mother is sick, and this king specially came to visit the queen mother."

There was silence inside for a while, and it was the eunuch again, this time with a flattering tone: "It was His Royal Highness King Yu." The Queen Mother is unwell, she has just fallen asleep, and it is inconvenient to meet Her Highness at this time, please come back tomorrow. ”

Zhao Zhen was very patient: "I came in to see my mother and left." ”

Where did the eunuch dare to open it? King Yu clearly came to make trouble. The Queen Mother was afraid that King Yu would come to her to settle accounts, so she closed her door.

"His Royal Highness the King of Yu's filial piety, the slave will definitely tell the Queen Mother. It's just that the Queen Mother has just fallen asleep, so it's really not suitable to see guests......"

Zhao Zhen smiled, "This king is kind enough to visit the Queen Mother, you slave dare to stop you?" If you don't open the door again, believe it or not, this king has torn down this gate? ”

How could the eunuch resist Zhao Zhen's scare-this Buddha, but he dares to do anything! After discussing with several other eunuchs, he finally opened the door in a hurry, nodded and said, "Your Highness, please come in, and the slave will pour you tea." ”

After saying that, he ran away with a cigarette.

Zhao Zhen didn't care about him, and walked straight to the hall. Empress Dowager Xiao actually didn't sleep, she sat on the bed and talked to Zhao Yurou, who was holding the decoction and serving with her heart.

A girl saw Zhao Zhen at the door, panicked into the hall and fell to the ground, Zhao Yurou just wanted to scold her for being unruly, and heard her say: "Queen Mother!" His Royal Highness King Yu has come in! Right outside the door! ”

Zhao Yurou didn't say a word, she almost knocked over the medicine bowl in her hand, was stunned for a moment, raised her eyes and scolded the girl: "Didn't you let you close the door?!" Are they all on the sidelines?! ”

The girl said aggrievedly: "The slave didn't know what was going on, His Royal Highness King Yu suddenly ......"

Before the words fell, Zhao Zhen walked in, waved away the girl and said with a smile: "Isn't the queen mother resting?" It turned out that they were all from the Erchen. ”

Empress Dowager Xiao's eyebrows jumped up angrily and glared at him angrily.

"I see that the queen mother is in good spirits, not like she is sick." Zhao Zhen walked to the side of the bed and bent down, and said with a slight smile. Zhao Yurou saw that the situation was wrong, and hurriedly said: "The queen mother is sick, she drank medicine, and she was going to sleep, but she couldn't sleep." ”

Zhao Zhen raised his eyebrows: "Can't sleep?" ”

"Yes."

Zhao Zhen smiled again and clapped his hands, "That's good." Erchen brought Dr. Hu and asked him to show you. ”

Hu Zhixian was waiting outside the door, and when he heard Zhao Zhen calling him, he hurriedly came in, put the medical box aside, and knelt down respectfully: "Minister Hu Zhixian greets the Queen Mother and Princess Hejing." ”

He didn't even dare to lift his eyelids. These two are not something he can afford to offend, and the eldest princess is notoriously arrogant, and one is unhappy, saying that he stares at her and looks unruly, what if he wants to gouge out his eyeballs?

It's not that he slandered, it's true, it's a eunuch's eye that was gouged out.

Zhao Yurou was angry and angry, but she didn't dare to give Zhao Zhen a very good look, she bit her lip and said: "The queen mother's illness is naturally diagnosed and treated by the doctors of the Tai Hospital, where is the turn to get a vulgar military doctor?" The queen mother's phoenix body is much more noble than those soldiers, in case of an accident, will His Royal Highness be able to bear it? ”

Zhao Zhen sank his face, "You look down on the soldiers under me?" ”

"I'm telling the truth! It's just a lowly commoner! Zhao Yurou was angry.

What if she angered Zhao Zhen? She is the eldest princess, can Zhao Zhen still kill her?

Zhao Zhen's eyes were cold for a while, but the corners of his lips rose: "I didn't expect the imperial sister to hate it so much...... But the king had a good idea. Let the horse serve in the army in the northwest, and when he has made military merits, he will naturally be able to redeem his merits. ”

Confined by blood, he will not touch Zhao Yurou, but he will not let her insult him. The soldiers in the northwest, who were born and killed the enemy on the battlefield with him, are his Zhao Zhen's brothers.

Zhao Yurou was incredulous, stood up suddenly, and trembled: "Zhao Zhen! Don't you dare! ”

"Why not?" There is nothing in this world that he does not dare.

Even if he wanted the throne, it would be easy to grab it.

Zhao Yurou shook her head, very frightened: "No! You put him on the battlefield and he'll die! I said the wrong thing, I apologize to you! Don't let him go! ”

Zhao Zhen just smiled, ignored her, and said to Hu Zhixian: "Come here, treat the Queen Mother well." ”

The Queen Mother patted Zhao Yurou's back, shook her head and sighed: "What a sin!" King Yu, if you treat your sister like this, you will be punished......"

"Retribution?" Zhao Zhen sneered, "Those who march are never afraid of retribution. ”

"Don't forget! I gave you that thing! Don't forget! Zhao Yurou's voice suddenly shrivelled.

Zhao Zhen sat next to her and looked at her indifferently: "So what?" He raised the teacup and took a sip, and smiled again: "You'd better say it now, and see what the emperor will do to you, and how I will treat you." Or will your eldest brother in Guizhou be grateful to you? ”

Zhao Yurou's face froze. It dawned on her that she couldn't say anything. If she said it, the emperor and Zhao Zhen would be enemies of her at the same time, and, according to the emperor's cold temperament, she would definitely kill her brother first!

She trembled, and sat on the bed with a dead face, her eyes like stagnant water, without any light. After a long time, he stared at Zhao Zhen with a hideous smile: "You-ruthless enough!" ”

Zhao Zhen crooked his cup and greeted her: "Pass the award." ”

Hu Zhixian stubbornly diagnosed the pulse of the Queen Mother, and said: "The Queen Mother's qi and blood are congested, and the mixture of dampness and cold is not a serious illness, as long as you take good care of it and be careful in your diet, it will be fine." The minister advised the Queen Mother to be less energetic and calm, and she would get better faster. ”

Zhao Zhen nodded to him: "Prescribe two doses of prescription to the Queen Mother." ”

The Queen Mother was already unhappy that Hu Zhixian came to the clinic, and when she heard this, she lowered her face: "No need, the imperial doctor's prescription for the mourning family eats very well, so I won't bother King Yu." ”

Zhao Zhen didn't seem to hear it, and continued to ask Hu Zhixian to prescribe the prescription, and said: "After prescribing the prescription, I went to fry the medicine, and this king personally served the Queen Mother to drink it." ”

When the three of them heard this, their faces were full of consternation - Zhao Zhen is this, forcing the Queen Mother to drink medicine? Hu Zhixian was stunned for a moment, knowing that this was a place of right and wrong, and quickly slipped away.

The Queen Mother pointed at Zhao Zhen angrily: "King Yu is like this, is he going to poison the mourning family!" ”

"Of course not." Zhao Zhen smiled, "Erchen just wants to do his filial piety." ”

"Filial piety?" What a joke! Does he have filial piety? Then there will be no unfilial sons in the world. "You obviously want to poison the mourning family! Get out of here! Get out now! ”

The Queen Mother casually picked up the medicine that had been cold and poured it on Zhao Zhen! Zhao Zhen blocked it with his arm, and most of the medicine was sprinkled on the hem of his clothes and the ground.

Zhao Zhen's eyes were full of indifference, he stood up and glanced at the palace maid at the door, the palace maid only felt creepy, and immediately came in to wipe his clothes.

"The Queen Mother." He lowered his voice, "If this bowl of soup medicine was poured on Yixuan, I probably wouldn't be so easy to speak." ”

The Queen Mother was startled, her fingers unconsciously clenched the quilt, and she looked at him. The cold light in his eyes was like a sharp blade, giving people the illusion of being Lingchi.

Zhao Zhen glanced at the sky outside, the sky was already very dark, and he bowed slightly, "Today's words have been made clear." If you dare to touch her again, I will definitely make you pay a hundredfold and tenfold...... The queen mother had a good rest, and the sons took their leave. ”

He came here just to give Xiao and Zhao Yurou a wake-up call, to deter and intimidate them, and when the goal was achieved, he didn't have to stay.

These two women, stupid and incompetent. They didn't understand the detours, so they had to come straight in like this, at least for a long time, Yixuan would not be in trouble.

If he goes back now, he might be able to catch up with Yixuan for dinner.

The movement here in Renshou Palace has already been secretly transmitted to the Qianqing Palace.

Zhao Yan is making a flower, painting the scene of red plums reflecting snow.

Zhiluo loves plums, and every year, he will accompany Zhiluo to the plum garden to enjoy plums.

But in fact, there were no plum blossoms in his eyes, only her face illuminated by joy.

After listening to the eunuch's report, Zhao Yan put down the pen and smiled silently.

Zhao Zhen was so infatuated with that girl that he even went to Renshou Palace to demonstrate for her...... It seems that it is a wise choice to leave that girl behind.

Only one thing I don't understand.

"What did Zhao Yurou say?"

The eunuch replied: "Back to the emperor, the minister is not clear. ”

"Then look it up." Zhao Yan frowned, he didn't like the feeling of being kept in the dark.

"Yes."

Zhao Yan picked up the pen again, paused before putting down the pen, and ordered: "Choose two century-old ginseng and send them to the Queen Mother, and by the way, take a look at Zhao Zhen's recipe." ”

Since his good brother was so arrogant, he pushed the boat down the river and gave him a big gift.
