Chapter 13: The Dark Clouds See the Sun
"Dai Qing, serve tea." Lu Hou knew that he felt uncomfortable, so he didn't dare to continue these topics, so he didn't say anything else, just called Dai Qing to come over to the inner room.
Looking at Jiancheng Hou's face, the hand on his knee squeaked and breathlessed. Lu Hou put his hand on his brother's hand and patted it gently.
Dai Qing came over with tea, knelt on the mat, and poured tea for Empress Lu and Jianchenghou, Empress Lu handed her a look, and Dai Qing went down again.
"Let's have tea." Lu Hou took a sip of tea, and Jianhou was still silent with a huff.
The two of them were silent for a long time, their hearts rising and falling one after another, and the hall was as silent as death. Lu Shizhi is like a fire basket at this time, any careless palace maid or eunuch accidentally bumps into him, he can burn him, and if the fire is too big, someone will almost come to it.
Jianhou sat up suddenly, holding his breath and said, "Niangniang, let's be idle, the minister has taken his leave." "Then we have to go.
Empress Lu put the tea in her hand on a few cases with a 'snap', got up and said to Lu Shizhi with a gloomy face, "Does my brother want to give this palace a face?" Is it to blame Hongu? I told you that I can only blame Lu Ling for this matter, do you want to keep stalemate with this palace like this? Lu Shizhi was silent, and Lu Houli looked into the distance in front of the hall, and said plainly, "As the queen, there is nothing in this palace, except for this empty posterior, that's all, doesn't my brother know me best?" Why does my brother still put so much pressure on me at this time? ”
An apologetic look suddenly appeared on Jianchenghou's face, the corners of his mouth moved, and he still didn't speak.
Empress Lu turned around, "Okay, don't show your face here, this matter will definitely make him come to the bottom of the matter, and it will definitely make the person who let Lu Ling die pay a greater price." Empress Lu's eyes were full of fiery hatred, her lips were clenched tightly, her hands were clenched into fists, and her squeaks were squeaked.
Jianhou raised his head at this time, looked at Empress Lu in surprise, opened his mouth and widened his eyes, and asked in a daze, "What is the water?" ”
Empress Lu nodded and continued, "Hasn't Lu Ling's matter been quietly handled? How could the people rise up and force the west gate of the palace, shouting to condemn the death of his brother and Lu Ling, and it was not them who Lu Ling forced to die, if it were not for the benefit of others and instigated by others, they would not do this, gathered at the palace gate, they knew that the emperor could not put them all to death. Then he said, "They must not be going for Lu Ling. ”
After completion, he was like an initiation, patted his head, nodded vigorously, and suddenly came to the fighting spirit again and asked urgently, "What does my sister want to do?" ”
Empress Lu pinched her forehead slightly, revealing a mysterious smile, her eyes were close to Cheng Hou and smirked, "Isn't it easy for my brother to solve such a thing?" Wouldn't it be nice to just catch a troublemaker and torture him and tell who instructed him? Just don't make a fuss. ”
After the completion of the day, he showed a smile that he hadn't seen for a long time, nodded, and said heartily, "Take care of your mother, the minister will do it." ”
Empress Lu smiled and nodded, "Do it quietly." ”
Since the accident, Liu Bang has not come to Changxin Palace for half a step after dealing with the affairs of the wild people after Empress Lu. After waiting for him to leave, Empress Lu did not feel comfortable, she was thinking about what Liu Bang would think about in her heart, how she would think about herself, after all, Lu Ling's matter did not say half a word to Liu Bang, so that she did not take precautions, causing today's situation.
Empress Lu had no one to accompany her, so she went to the front hall alone, and she knew that Liu Bang must be there at this time.
On the steps, the guards on both sides were just about to salute her, but they were excused by Empress Lu with a wave of her hand, signaling them not to disturb the emperor inside, and the guards stood upright on both sides again.
Just about to enter the hall, a person came up from behind, and Empress Lu stopped and saw that it was Zhang Tingwei who came in a hurry, and it seemed that he had come to return to his life.
As soon as he saw that Empress Lu happened to be here, Zhang Tingwei hurriedly bowed his head and wanted to salute, but was also stopped by Empress Lu, who said, "Are you here to tell the emperor about Lu Ling?" "The face is indifferent, and I can't see the good or bad mood. Zhang Tingwei replied, "Yes, Niangniang, Lu Gongzi has drunk and died. ”
Empress Lu's heart tightened, and she said lightly, "Okay, the palace will tell the emperor, go down." Empress Lu waved his hand at him, and Zhang Tingwei went down.
There were very few palace maids serving in the front hall, so Liu Bang asked them to go down when he was in a bad mood. The faint sunlight was horizontally printed on Liu Bang's slightly tired face, printing the wrinkles that were half deep, his eyes drooped and staring at a few cases, his mouth exhaled an even breath, his right hand was supported on several cases, and he was thinking about things quietly, even if Empress Lu came in.
Approaching Liu Bang's side, he put his hand on Liu Bang's broad shoulder, and called softly, "Your Majesty." ”
Liu Bang raised his cloudy eyes, straightened up and turned his head to look at Empress Lu next to him, his eyes were firmly fixed on Empress Lu and never left, as if he was looking at Empress Lu again, how could he not find out that Empress Lu encountered anything and didn't tell him anything before. That kind of look told Empress Lu that the two of them were indeed only strangers, no one knew anyone, no one knew anyone, Liu Bang stared at Empress Lu very uncomfortable, Empress Lu hurriedly withdrew his gaze, turned to look elsewhere, and said, "Your Majesty, Lu Ling is dead, thank you Emperor for leaving his whole body." ”
Liu Bang gradually retracted his gaze, let out a soft 'oh', and said nothing more.
"If the emperor wants to ask his concubines, just ask." Lu Hou said.
The corners of Liu Bang's mouth moved slightly, picked up a roll of bamboo slips on the case and looked at it, and said indifferently, "No, it's already over." ”
Empress Lu felt even more depressed in her heart, Liu Bang didn't ask, but Empress Lu wanted to say herself, "The reason why the concubine didn't tell the emperor about Lu Ling was because the concubine didn't want to disturb the emperor with too many things." Things have been too busy in the past few days, the emperor has just gone to Weishui to check, and he has to entertain Princess Luan in his busy schedule, and he has to worry about Princess Long'an, seeing that the emperor is so busy, the concubine can't bear to add trouble to the emperor again, so he took the initiative to deal with Lu Ling's affairs, I thought it had been dealt with, but I didn't expect that there were variables in the battle, and I still let the emperor know, the concubine felt guilty and uneasy, and asked the emperor to ......"
Liu Bang got up suddenly, turned his head and hugged Empress Lu, who was talking, in his arms. Before he finished speaking, Empress Lu was hugged tightly by him, his cheeks were against Liu Bang's warm chest, and he suddenly warmed his whole body, and he didn't speak anymore, closed his eyes and enjoyed the moment of unexpected surprise, smiled slightly, heard Liu Bang's chest beating one by one, and could feel his breath on his forehead.
Liu Banglu didn't say anything, and hugged each other quietly for a long time......
Even if the two don't know each other's true thoughts, there is still a kind of love that connects them tightly, even if they still tell lies to each other, they will forgive each other, do not break each other, and have each other in their hearts, whether it is love or hate or resentment, maybe both.
