Mrs. Guan and Mrs. Qi walked out of Weiyang Palace one after another, and no one cared about anyone.

Just walked all the way, the atmosphere was very dull, Mrs. Qi and Jing Tian beside her glanced at each other, and looked at Mrs. Guan who was walking vigorously in front of them.

Mrs. Qi has been thinking about how to talk to Mrs. Guan all the way, and now she has helped her so much as promised, so that she has a child, and Mrs. Guan is crossing the river and demolishing the bridge like this? Why do the two of them push each other so much when they are in the same boat? Don't you want to help yourself?

"Whether you want it or not, you must be on my side." Mrs. Qi muttered quietly. Quickened his pace to catch up with Mrs. Guan, walking with her, seeing Mrs. Guan's cold face, Mrs. Qi stretched out her hand and patted Mrs. Guan's hand gently, and said with a smile, "Congratulations, Madame." ”

Hearing this sudden and inexplicable sentence, Mrs. Guan immediately stopped, was slightly stunned, turned her head, and looked at Mrs. Qi with a hint of disdain in her coldness, thinking that when she suddenly couldn't eat food and vomited at the banquet just now, she seemed to coincidentally meet Mrs. Qi was handing her a mysterious smile, and just played a drama with Liu Bang to keep her husband, so she quickly thought that what she said was that she was pregnant.

Mrs. Guan glanced at Mrs. Qi with a bad face, and her words seemed to be with a gun and a stick, and she seemed to complain, "Don't be sarcastic about me, what if you have a child, the emperor doesn't look down on him at all." ”

Mrs. Qi smiled at her complaint again, put one hand on Mrs. Guan's arm, and comforted, "Madame is really wrong. ”

Mrs. Guan raised her head, her eyes full of doubts and inexplicable look at Mrs. Qi.

Mrs. Qi smiled and said, "Didn't Mrs. originally want to have only one child in case she was martyred?" Now that I have a child, why don't I see my wife's joy, but say what is the use of him? As for the emperor, don't you also say that as long as he has a child, he will go wherever he falls in love? Besides, it's not that the emperor can't look down on him, it's just that he is busy with state affairs now and neglects his wife, so there aren't many emperor's heirs, how can he not look down on him? Don't be angry, isn't it normal for the emperor to go to the queen, and besides, nothing will happen to them, they just discuss state affairs together. ”

Mrs. Guan was a little more comfortable when Mrs. Qi said this, and she was not as choking as she was just now, as if this reassurance was her reassurance, and the stone hanging in her heart finally fell. But after a series of worries and doubts, he frowned again, looked at Mrs. Qi and said, "How do you know that it is a matter of discussing state affairs?" After all, the emperor and the queen are a husband and wife in distress, and they still have friendship for each other. ”

Mrs. Qi withdrew her gaze from Mrs. Guan, smiled indifferently, turned around and said as she walked, "I said yes, and it is about the Huns, as for their feelings, ......" Speaking of this, Mrs. Qi lowered her head and smiled, paused and said, "It has long been transformed into friendship between political partners." ”

Mrs. Guan followed Mrs. Qi and listened as she walked, and after thinking about it carefully, she felt that Mrs. Qi's words made a lot of sense. Although the emperor has not been in Changle Palace most of the time in recent years, he has always cared for Empress Lu, and sent delicious and fun to Changle Palace first, probably to compensate her. So the relationship was not so good, and the emperor stayed in the Yuzao Palace for a long time and was tired of being with Mrs. Qi. But when encountering political difficulties, the first thing that comes to mind is to consult with Empress Lu and ask her to come up with ideas, most of the ideas made by Empress Lu can solve the current difficulties, and over time, there will be a kind of political dependence on Empress Lu, and if you can't make up your mind, you will always go to Changle Palace to listen to Empress Lu's ideas after discussing with the ministers in the court. Over time, apart from political affairs, there was not much to say about the two of them, and they never talked about their original vows to each other, nor did they talk about their lives in person. It is very subtle to inexplicably transform from husband and wife to political partners, every time after listening to Lu Hou's political opinions, Liu Bang admires her from the bottom of his heart that she is different from ordinary women, and when she has nothing to say, she stays in Changle Palace for a while, and rarely spends the night there. The two gradually became polite.

Mrs. Guan secretly praised Mrs. Qi in her heart that she was actually very smart, and she blushed for her original indecent carving insect skills.

Just when she praised Mrs. Qi in her heart, when she looked up, she saw Mrs. Qi's beautiful face blocking in front of her, her eyes looked straight at her, her face turned serious and calm, Mrs. Qi asked, "I helped you as promised, but I can't see the trace of Madame's actions, do you have any plans?" ”

Mrs. Guan heard this, as if she had been wronged, her voice immediately increased by many decibels, and she retorted anxiously, "Who said that I didn't act, how many times have I knocked on the side in front of the emperor about the weakness of the prince and asked him to choose another virtuous child, although he was a little moved, he just felt that he still cared about the queen, I have worked hard, as for the effect, it is not something I can control, I can only help you so much, I can't say it clearly, you replace the prince and set up the king, this is impossible." ”

When Mrs. Qi heard her words, she didn't want to help the queen and the prince anymore, and her heart suddenly became a little anxious, and her face was also anxious and uneasy to look at Mrs. Guan, at this moment, she wants to be calm, what should she do? Now that Mrs. Guan has a child, she is no longer so obedient to herself, and now what handle does she have in the hands of Mrs. Qi? No. This is a threat to Mrs. Qi's interests, she must find a way to pull Mrs. Guan back to fight, otherwise she will be like a chopstick being gently broken.

Mrs. Qi hurriedly sorted out her emotions, covered up the panic on her face, pursed her lips, and said, "So Madam began to fight Princess Lu Yuan's idea, if the princess enters Hu, it can also disintegrate some of the queen's minds, isn't it?" Madame is so clever, no wonder the queen wants to take back your seal and ribbon. ”

As soon as she heard this, Mrs. Guan's mind recalled the past incident a few days ago that made her angry and felt that she had carried a black cauldron. Angry, he walked up to Mrs. Qi and glared angrily and said, "Why do you even say that?" By the way, it makes me angry when I talk about it, what thing that doesn't know whether to live or die would dare to frame me like this? If you want to call me a substitute for the dead, there is no door. Mrs. Guan looked at Mrs. Qi with trembling eyes, and the eyes of the two met like this, and the war in their eyes was about to ignite at this moment.

Mrs. Qi raised her eyebrows, curled the corners of her mouth and smiled, "If you die, who else will I ask to join forces with me?" It is implied that it was not she who framed Mrs. Guan.

Mrs. Guan angrily withdrew her gaze and snorted roughly, "I'll find out." It's not what I said to let the princess into the hu, someone must be against the queen in secret. ”

"So, would you still like to help me? After all, your promise was not fulfilled. Mrs. Qi took the opportunity to say.

Mrs. Guan glanced at her and turned around and left, only to hear her words blown by the wind from a distance, "Let's talk about it." ”

Mrs. Qi looked at her ungrateful and arrogant appearance, she was angry, her hands were clenched into fists, her lips were clenched, and her eyes were occupied by cold resentment.

Liu Bang accompanied the night and walked alone on the stone road to Changxin Palace. After entering the hall, there was no one, and quietly, so he walked to the inner room, and saw Lu Hou lying quietly on the couch, half-wrapped in a quilt, and his hands were exposed. Dai Qing waited for Empress Lu with the potion on the side, "Niangniang, it's time to take the medicine." ”

Empress Lu's eyes were empty, she looked at the top of the hall blankly, she didn't say a word, she didn't know what she was thinking, she didn't even notice that Liu Bang came in, and she didn't get up and salute. On the contrary, Dai Qing heard Liu Bang's familiar footsteps, turned his head and saw that it was Liu Bang, so he got up and saluted, and before he could salute, he was waved by Liu Bang's hand and was spared.

Liu Bang handed her a look and told her to go down, Dai Qing nodded, and was about to put the medicine on a few cases, Liu Bang took the decoction from her hand and held it. When he came to Lv Hou's side, looking at Lv Hou's vicissitudes of life, Liu Bang's heart was flooded with waves at the moment, everything was caused by himself, she was originally a lively girl, but after following herself, she became silent, and she had nothing to say to him anymore, and even the two of them were only left with quarrels and respect.

Liu Bang picked up the medicine and blew it lightly on the side of his mouth, stirred it again, and brought it to Lu Hou's mouth and said softly, "Drink the medicine." ”

Lu Hou woke up, turned his head slightly and looked at Liu Bang, who had already been indifferent to her, after looking at it for a long time, I don't know what it was like, Lu Hou's eyes were red, and a trace of hot tears flowed out. I don't understand why I want to cry when I say tears, my dizziness is much better, and Empress Lu doesn't care about the physical pain, when she sees Liu Bang, she feels a sour cry in her heart, probably Liu Bang's appearance touched the kind of beautiful memories in her heart, and in reality she will not replicate that kind of beauty. Liu Bang put down the decoction, took out a silk handkerchief from his arms, and didn't know which woman it was, rolled it up and wiped his tears for Empress Lu.

When Empress Lu saw a woman's silk handkerchief, she was very disgusted in her heart, so she turned her face aside and wiped her tears with her sleeve.

Liu Bang awkwardly withdrew his hand frozen in the air, and put the silk handkerchief into his sleeve. Sitting on the couch, with his hands on his knees, he was silent for a while, and said in a gentle tone, "There are too many things, and I can't take care of you, is the dizziness better?" Do you want to call a doctor? ”

Empress Lu wiped her tears, turned around, sat up slightly from the bed, Liu Bang hurriedly found a pillow for her to lean on, found a comfortable position for Empress Lu, and then sat down again.

Looking at Liu Bang who seemed to have made a mistake in front of him, Empress Lu was loved, hated and distressed, and said for a while, "The emperor must have come here late at night for what Princess Sha Ling'er said about exchanging cattle and horses for Jiuyuan County, right?" ”

Liu Bang's eyes suddenly widened, and he looked up at Empress Lu, very surprised. She is too powerful, she knows everything about what she thinks in her heart, Mu Ran nodded, "Yes, I think the purpose of her trip is not just to marry the princess, the words at the banquet are just a temptation, I am afraid that she will make more unreasonable demands tomorrow, after all, I have collected 500 cattle and horses from them in front of everyone." Mao Dun is not a mediocre Shan Yu, he can't give so many cattle and horses to the Han family, there must be hidden secrets. Liu Bang paused, sighed and said, "Didn't Sha Ling'er say that there was any other Princess Loulan who entered the Xiongnu court with the princess of the Han family?" If he really cared about the princess of the Han family, he wouldn't marry Loulan, don't you say? ”

Empress Lu's eyes narrowed slightly, pinched her sideburns with her fingers, and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry, Jiuyuan County is an inseparable part of my Han family's rivers and mountains, and land is the foundation of the country, priceless." No matter what she says, the emperor only needs to grit his teeth and not divide it, if she is not convinced, return to China to report to her royal brother, even if she meets each other, she has nothing to fear. Those cows and horses, if she wants to go back, the emperor will give them to her, but I don't think she will go back. As for how Mao Dun treats women, we can't care, we can only pray for God to protect Liu Lu. In fact, it was originally a strategy to marry the Huns, what feelings are there? So it is reasonable that he will not care, of course Mao Dun will think that he does not want the Han family woman to be the Yan family, nor will he ask the Loulan woman to do it, he will still think that the Hun woman is preferred. ”

Liu Bang listened and felt that there was no other good way than this method, so he sighed again, and Mu stopped talking on the couch.

"Tomorrow Sha Ling'er will see Liu Lu in Weiyang Palace, can the concubine accompany Your Majesty?" Lu Hou put his hand on Liu Bang's hand and asked.

Liu Bang said 'um', sat down beside Lu Hou, stretched out his hands, Lu Hou smiled after understanding, then got up and fell into Liu Bang's arms, his cheek against his chest, listening to his heartbeat, and instantly felt that the earth was silent and silent with them. Liu Bang wrapped his arms around her shoulders, smiled with his chin against her forehead, and then raised his hands to gently rub her sideburns in Lu Hou's sideburns to alleviate her dizziness symptoms, which was very beautiful in an instant.
