Back in Changxin Palace, Empress Lu didn't ask Imperial Doctor Qin to take the pulse, but just said that it would be enough to prescribe a few pairs to stop dizziness. There was nothing wrong with Empress Lu herself, she was just dragging Imperial Doctor Qin to prevent him from going to Beiyuan, Imperial Physician Qin did it on the surface, but she also understood in her heart that what Empress Lu did was to prevent herself from going to Beiyuan to take care of the pregnant woman that the emperor secretly entrusted to him. I have been watched by the queen's people for the past few days, and I will go back in the evening, after the palace gate is closed, so I can't see Emperor Gao, and it is impossible to tell the emperor about my imprisonment by the queen. The worst thing is that Emperor Gao has been busy with the affairs of the Kanto migrants these days, so he is a little unconcerned about the affairs of the Beiyuan woman, since he secretly moved the woman who was pregnant after his own luck to Beiyuan, he has never seen her, but just ordered some eunuchs and palace people to take care of her until she gave birth to the emperor. She has been taken care of by the old palace maids in Beiyuan, and Imperial Doctor Qin was a little relieved, hoping that those old palace maids would serve her wholeheartedly, and if she didn't go to Beiyuan for a few days, she didn't know what was going on with her body, and whether there were any abnormal reactions.

After opening the prescription, Imperial Physician Qin followed Empress Lu with nothing to do, and the queen didn't open her mouth to tell him to leave, and he didn't dare to quit privately, so he had to stay in Changxin Palace with nothing to do. There are several chrysanthemums of different colors blooming outside the hall, and Empress Lu sat on a mat not far from the entrance of the hall and drank tea leisurely to enjoy the chrysanthemums. "yes, yes." Imperial Physician Qin stood aside and bowed and said yes. Empress Lu smiled, and said coldly in a voice outside the strings, "So the beautiful flowers are not scattered into mud in the end?" I can't help it, and the palace will fold it with a slight pinch. Imperial Physician Qin was dumbfounded, and knowing what Empress Lu meant, he bent his body deeply and said nothing. Seeing that Imperial Physician Qin had some understanding of this, Empress Lu became more interested and instructed Dai Qing to bring Go to play a game with Imperial Physician Qin.

Empress Lu asked Dai Qing to bring a thick mat for Imperial Physician Qin to sit opposite, Imperial Physician Qin was restless, cold sweat was pouring from his forehead, and he felt that his eyes were in a trance. Fang panicked and listened to Lu Houdao, "Why doesn't the prince play chess?" Imperial Physician Qin trembled 'oh', grabbed a chess piece and put it up casually, Empress Lu looked at Imperial Physician Qin with a frightened look, and couldn't help but chuckle. After a little tea effort, Empress Lu had already won a game first, and Imperial Physician Qin praised the emperor as Yi Qiu's mastery of chess, and Empress Lu smiled and drank the tea. Dai Qing reorganized the chessboard and separated the black and white chess pieces. In the second game, I saw Imperial Physician Qin asking, "Niangniang's body is fine, the minister is ......" Imperial Physician Qin stopped talking, didn't know how to continue, and absentmindedly put down a chess piece on the chess game.

Empress Lu looked at a place on the chessboard and put down a chess piece with satisfaction, smiled at Imperial Physician Qin and said, "This palace has been burdening you for the past few days. Tomorrow afternoon, the Imperial Doctor will not be used. ”

Imperial Physician Qin put down the chess pieces and left the side of the case, and hurriedly bowed to Empress Lu, "I wish Niangniang good health and long-term happiness." ”

Empress Lu smiled, and made a gesture of helping in the air, and Dai Qing helped up Imperial Doctor Qin, who was close to knowing his fate.

Empress Lu instructed Dai Qing, "Go and get a hundred gold for the imperial doctor." ”

Imperial Physician Qin was terrified and shirked and did not dare to accept this gift, but Empress Lu forcibly awarded it, and Imperial Physician Qin accepted a hundred gold tremblingly. Empress Lu specially instructed him not to tell the emperor about his recent stay in Changxin Palace, and Imperial Physician Qin once again surrendered his hand and said that he would never say a word. Only then did Empress Lu relax and nodded with satisfaction. I remembered that I asked the prince to come here for dinner yesterday, and the prince said that he was not in good health, so he didn't come. Empress Lu thought that the prince was sick, and it happened that Imperial Physician Qin was here, so she instructed Imperial Physician Qin to go to the prince's palace to see the prince's illness, and instructed Dai Qing to send the delicious dim sum from Changxin Palace and the Ge cloth sent by Shaofu a few days ago to the prince. There was no wind or rain and no sunny day, which made Empress Lu a little sleepy, and suddenly felt sleepy, and he didn't sleep well last night, so he wanted to make up for sleep, so he went back to the inner hall to sleep.

Fang lay down, and someone came in to report to Empress Lu that the Marquis of Biyang was asking to see him outside the palace. Empress Lu hesitated for a moment and immediately her eyes lit up, sat up from the couch, and the sudden visit of the judge made Empress Lu feel unprepared, and the harem concubines could not see the ministers in private, unless the emperor edicted. After frowning and thinking for a moment, he ordered the eunuch who sent the news to lead him to the underground palace of Changxin Palace. Speaking of the underground palace, it is also a major feature of the Western Han Dynasty architecture, since Xiao He majored, there is a deliberately reserved underground palace, the underground palace is not a underground palace in the sense of a mausoleum, just like an authentic general. First, to prepare for war, and secondly, since the world was calmed down, these so-called underground palaces to avoid war have slowly become a secret place for concubines to make personal friends with important officials of the court, and sometimes they will also become a stepping point for concubines to control the court power. There is an underground palace in Changxin Palace, and there is an entrance entrance behind an inconspicuous screen in the northwest corner of the inner hall, and there is also an entrance next to the apse of Changxin Palace. Lu Hou first entered the underground palace directly from his dormitory through the entrance of the screen and waited for the Marquis of Biyang, there were several mats in the underground palace, which were similar to the laying above. The Marquis of Biyang was brought into the underground palace by the queen's special cronies.

As soon as he saw the queen, he hurriedly knelt down to make a big salute, and Empress Lu didn't want to make a noise, so he waved his hand to get up, took a step closer and asked eagerly, "Have you seen Jiancheng?" He didn't say anything, just nodded.

"Was Guan Xiuyan's killing done by my brother?" Lu Hou asked in a low voice. "Hmm." Judging by the food, he admitted without hesitation, but still nodded.

A nameless fire rushed to his head in Empress Lu's heart, only to feel that his chest was blocked and he was a little speechless, and he glanced at the food judge complainingly, and only said after a while, "I told you to look at him, why do you still allow him to do this?" ”

The corners of his mouth moved slightly, and his eyes glanced at Empress Lu, who looked angry, hurriedly looked away from Empress Lu, and quickly lowered his head as if he had confessed his mistake, "Lord Hou is in a hurry, except for the queen mother, no one can control him." After the minister returned to the mansion that day, it was a day later, Jiancheng Hou personally came to the door and told the minister about it, the minister did not agree at the time, Jiancheng Hou angrily threw down a sentence "You wait for the woman's skirt to be the minister, you and I will not be friends in the future", the minister is really ......" Speaking of this, his face was quite embarrassed and embarrassed, and he paused for a moment and said, "The Hou Ye has killed him, and the minister also knows that he is ashamed of his mother, disrupting Niangniang's plan, and fidgeting at home, and must ask Niangniang for guilt." ”

Empress Lu's anger did not subside, she glanced at him, brushed her sleeves and turned around and asked, "The harem concubine can't see the minister privately, how did you enter the palace, did the emperor find out?" ”

Judging the food, "Niangniang don't worry, the minister said that it was a special product brought to Pei County for Niangniang, so they let it in." ”

Empress Lu exhaled a long breath and sat down on the mat in front of him, also asking the judge to sit down. Seeing that there was tea on several cases, he carefully observed Empress Lu's words and looks, so he hurriedly poured tea for Empress Lu and handed it to her with both hands. Lu Hou took the tea and put the tea on several tables, and continued to ask, "What about the completion of the wait?" Or do you still keep your door closed? ”

Judging Shiqi nodded, "After killing Guan Xiuyan immediately, Jianhou regretted it, the minister talked to him, he ignored it, and when he returned to the Hou Mansion, he did not go out of the second door. ”

When Empress Lu heard this, there was a look of decadence and disgust on her face, she closed her eyes very unenergetically, sighed heavily, rubbed the temples of her temples with her right hand, looked very tired, and said with a slightly sad face, "The emperor has not said a word to me for this matter, and today the palace went to see him in the Xuanmur Palace, and he avoided me." ”

Judging his mouth was ashamed and surprised, realizing how difficult he and Jianhou had brought to the queen, he looked at the queen with great guilt, bowed his head slightly, and said, "It's the minister's fault, Niangniang...... Condemn it. Empress Lu waved his hand, "That's it, he also complained about me, and he didn't care about it." Go back and tell Jianhou that you must find a reason to enter the palace to see the main palace. ”

Judging it, he said 'um' and agreed. Empress Lu didn't dare to stay longer in the underground palace, and she could cover up the past at night, now it is a blue sky and white day, there are many people and only two of them, whether it is a private matter or a political matter, in terms of etiquette system, it is very unreasonable for the two men and women to live in the same room. Lu Hou got up first, came out from behind the screen, and when he saw that there was no one, he called the judge, and he also pretended to be righteous and bright and came out to the hall.

As soon as he came out of the hall, he saw a box next to a few cases, and Lu Hou looked at it in surprise, walked over and opened the box, and saw that it was really a specialty of his hometown Pei County. Lu Hou's heart was suddenly moved by a kind of care and thoughtfulness from a man that he hadn't had for a long time. The bottom of Lu Hou's heart was like the melting of some edges and corners of the iceberg, and he suddenly felt warm, and he smiled when he saw that he imagined him as Liu Bang's faint longing. After judging its strangeness, Empress Lu's smile also stiffened and smiled.
