Because the Zai is very confident in the poisoning, it is not difficult for Qi Hui to pretend to be a "waste person", and now Xiangxiang is also in the hands of the emperor, with a warning to Jian Fu, the emperor and Pang Jun are not worried that Qi Hui will act rashly. But if you want to correct the name of the Mu family, one is that the emperor is afraid that Qi Hui will have the backing of his relatives from now on, and the other is bound to find out the case of the theft of the treasury twenty years ago, which is extremely involved, and this matter is not so easy to do.

Qi Hui had promised the emperor that he would help him bring down the power of the prime minister, but at this time and then, now that Xiangxiang is in the palace, the fall of the prime minister means that Qi Hui is rising, and the emperor has taken his younger brother's wife. It can be seen that the matter of justifying the name of the Mu family is absolutely impossible.

But the next morning, Qi Hui's recital was still sent, and Shi Feng explained Qi Hui's wishes to the emperor on his behalf, and roughly explained the reason for the disappearance of the Mu family, they cleverly avoided the theft of the treasury and the connection with the Prime Minister's Office, Qi Hui said that the fewer people involved, the fewer people who opposed it. Once there is no opposing position, most people in public and private will choose not to get involved in troublesome things, and now it is an eventful time, and the court officials seem to be calm on the surface, but in fact they are watching the development of the situation and power in their hearts.

But in fact, the enemy on the other side of the mountain range is approaching, although Pang Jun has a contract with them, maybe how much land to give up, maybe it is the supply of grain and rice in the future, but Qi Hui believes that once they step into the Central Plains, their ambitions will inevitably swell, and then attack the city and plunder the pond, burn and slaughter, and the consequences will be unimaginable. In his opinion, once the people on the other side of the mountain range attack the border, the country will be on the verge of survival, but the emperor is not alert, Pang Jun is dreaming of being an emperor, and a group of ministers are still watching from the wall for their careers.

Right now, it should have been the time for everyone to watch the jokes of Prince Shuo's mansion. Prince Shuo was divorced by a woman, and thrown into the arms of the emperor, what a shame, but the emperor and he did not say a word, it was rumored that Prince Shuo was poisoned and disabled, but now Pang Shifeng came to play on his behalf, just saying that he would be sick at home and would come back after a while. What happened in the end, I saw very few people sent by the prime minister to poison the palace and threaten the Jian mansion, and Prince Shuo suddenly mentioned the Mu family, which was secretive from the government and the opposition, which made the situation in the court more and more confusing.

The emperor was furious in the harem for this matter, he thought that Qi Hui would be honest for at least a while, so that he would have time to capture Xiangxiang's heart, but Qi Hui came again, even if he was paralyzed on the bed, he still came so confidently to ask him for this and that, he thought that it would be okay if he didn't see Qi Hui, but seeing Pang Shifeng standing there instead of Qi Hui, he was still flustered. He pointed at his cronies and said angrily: "Tell Pang Jun that since you have disabled him, why don't you kill him, let him kill Qi Hui quickly, and give him whatever he wants." ”

In this way, it reached the Longevity Palace, and the accompanying news made Jing Shu even more shocked, the emperor actually went to the Luo Temple in a rage, and she immediately asked the palace people to guard the Luo God Temple to see what the emperor would do there.

And at this moment, in the Luo Temple, Xiang Xiang is making breakfast for herself, the queen is by her side as yesterday, for the queen to stay in the Luo God Temple, the emperor did not ask yesterday, Xiang Xiang did not dare to do anything to her by relying on Jingshu, and forced her back, but Xiang Xiang also felt that if she could get the emperor's promise, the queen could stay more at ease.

Breakfast was very simple, Xiangxiang made cakes and porridge, but since there was everything in the kitchen, she washed a fish back and forth countless times, steamed it in the pot to replenish her body. The two sat on the stove to eat, and ate it when it was hot, which was more interesting than taking it to the dormitory, Xiangxiang was asking the queen if she would pick fish bones, but she didn't know that the emperor had arrived at the door.

Qi Xu came to the Luo Temple with a stomach full of anger, he thought to himself that if Xiang Xiang ignored him or even spoke disrespectfully today, he didn't want to be polite anymore, but before he stepped into the door, his momentum was half weaker, and then he waited for the waiter to lead him to the door of the small kitchen, and heard Xiang Xiang gently ask the queen if she wanted to help her pick fish bones, looking at the peaceful and beautiful scene, smelling the warm aroma of rice porridge, the emperor's impetuous heart suddenly became calm. He asked, "How do you eat here?" ”

The queen just heard the emperor's voice, she trembled, and almost dropped the porridge bowl in her hand, she stood up in a panic, and subconsciously hid behind Xiangxiang, Xiangxiang calmly wiped the corners of her mouth, got up, and greeted each other respectfully: "Your Majesty." ”

The emperor smiled, walked a few steps closer and said, "What is so fragrant, Xiangxiang, did you make it?" I heard them say that you cook by yourself, and I thought it was nonsense, Xiangxiang, aren't you afraid of being tired? ”

Xiangxiang doesn't speak, this kind of boring words, it's the same whether she says it or not, anyway, the emperor just wants to talk, she just needs to deal with it. But Xiangxiang saw that the emperor's eyes were resting on the food on the stove, she and the queen glanced at each other, and the queen timidly asked, "Your Majesty, haven't you had breakfast yet?" ”

The emperor was stunned, he was a little disgusted that the queen was here, but this sentence fell into his mind, and he took a few steps forward and said: "I had no appetite in the early dynasty, but now that I have dispersed the dynasty, I am a little hungry, and I just smelled the fragrance." ”

But seeing Xiangxiang step forward, he took a clean bowl and chopsticks from the table, put a bowl of porridge with his own hands, put a few small dishes on the table, and used chopsticks to clip a piece of fish and meat that had not been moved, and placed it neatly in the plate, and said to the emperor: "The kitchen is narrow, please go back to the main hall to enjoy." ”

The Emperor pursed his lips and said, "I will eat with you here." ”

Xiangxiang said politely: "I've eaten well." She looked at the queen, and the queen was busy and said, "Your Majesty, the concubines have also eaten." ”

So there was an attendant to serve food, and the group returned to the palace, the emperor sat at the table alone, Xiangxiang and the queen stood aside, and saw that there was a chamberlain who wanted to taste the food and test the poison, the emperor scolded: "Bastard things, I don't look at who makes the food, you don't need to worry about it." ”

Xiangxiang didn't care, but the queen couldn't stand the emperor's scolding and shivered again, but it was her trembling that reminded Qi Xu, the emperor was busy and gentle, picked up chopsticks and ate the food made by Xiangxiang himself. He was raised by the imperial diet of the mountains and seas, and when did he eat such a simple and rough meal, but because it was made by Xiangxiang, because of the most primitive taste of the food, it made his appetite move. originally wanted Xiangxiang to look like he was eating very well, but then he unconsciously ate all the things in front of him, and he was still unsatisfied.

The queen gently pulled Xiangxiang's sleeve, Xiangxiang understood what she meant, the emperor who had just buried his head in eating looked so normal and even pious, maybe he longed for a simple and ordinary life, but he was in the emperor's house.

"I've never eaten anything so delicious." Compared with when he first entered the door, the emperor was radiant and could eat the food made by Xiangxiang himself, he never thought that at this moment, as if in a dream, he looked at Xiangxiang carefully, and then looked at the queen, with a kind smile, even facing the queen, there was no impatience.

"The queen lives in the Luo Temple, and I want to ask the emperor to show me." Xiangxiang didn't make any excuses, not to say that she was lonely or that the Luo Temple was too empty, she said to the emperor very frankly, "The queen will be abused when she leaves the Luo Temple, and it will be better for her here." ”

The emperor's beaming expression was suddenly a little embarrassed, he frowned and looked at the queen, but the queen didn't dare to look at him at all, he could only ask knowingly: "Has the queen been tortured and beaten?" ”

Xiangxiang actually lifted the queen's sleeves, revealing criss-crossing scars, her thin arms, as if they would be broken with more strength, there are still people who can do this kind of poisonous hand, I don't know what to use to draw out blood marks, and now they leave hideous scars, and it will take a while to subside. Xiangxiang said: "If the emperor agrees, no one will come to embarrass the queen again." ”

Xiang Xiang's meaning is that he refers to Song Jingshu, and the emperor also understands, but he can't get rid of the queen's abuse, if he hadn't nodded, where did the concubine have the courage to do it to the queen, and now he has been caught by Xiang Xiang, and the shocking scars can't be relied on, Xiang Xiang didn't ask him why he had given him a step. The emperor could only nod: "Just let the queen stay here, it's just right, you and one concubine will join your hearts and manage the affairs of the harem and the royal family for me." ”

Xiangxiang didn't answer, she was not a Xiang concubine, the queen had to answer a few times, the emperor's good mood was half lost, but today is better than before, the emperor glanced at the empty dishes and chopsticks, and secretly thought that maybe next time, he would be able to have a long talk with Xiangxiang, since it is getting better and better, don't be too impatient, so he settled down, and after a few words of laughter, he left the Luo Temple.

Xiangxiang did not send each other, the queen only promised to send to the palace gate, for fear that the emperor would ask her something, and when the emperor left, he turned around and ran back, and there were palace people cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, Xiangxiang asked the queen if she was full, but the queen said: "The emperor doesn't seem to be very happy after all, and now I am hiding in my sister's place, and now Concubine Zijing should suffer." ”

Xiangxiang asked: "She treats you so much, are you still worried about her?" ”

The queen shook her head: "I'm not worried about her, but I think it will definitely be like this." ”

Xiangxiang looked out of the door, she couldn't see the emperor for a long time, what Jingshu would encounter next, she didn't know, the last time she broke her head, where would she break it this time? But she believes that the emperor will really vent his displeasure with herself and persuade Jingshu to vent it.

"When she beat you, did she forget her pain?" Xiangxiang was extremely helpless, she didn't want to harm Jingshu, but she was helpless to report this report.

"Sister, you have to be careful, the emperor will be impatient one day." The queen said the same thing as Jing Shu before at this moment, but the little girl clenched her fists and said, "I can't always be afraid, if the emperor dares to use force on my sister, I will protect you to the death, anyway, I don't know how many times I have died and lived, but you are the only one who is good to me." ”

Xiangxiang touched her head, she didn't need anyone to work hard for herself, but remembering the words left by the emperor when he left, she was a little interested at that time, and asked at this moment: "Who is taking care of the affairs in the palace, I think the concubine, she shouldn't understand, right?" ”

The queen said: "I don't understand either, it's the people from each department who take care of it themselves, but the concubine is in charge, and they occasionally ask a few questions." ”

Xiangxiang knew what Qi Hui was working for, and he also knew that he might have a future, anyway, now here every day looking forward to the sunrise and sunset there is nothing to do, Xiangxiang had an idea for a while, and said to the queen: "It's better to take the power back, and I will help the queen mother manage the harem together." ”

The queen was puzzled: "Doesn't that sister admit her identity as a harem?" ”
