Not long after Guan Xiuyan left, Liu Bang felt a sigh in his heart and immediately regretted what he had just done. Annoyed, his hands 'snapped', and he shook his head in regret and paced. thought that since he asked Guan Xiuyan to see his sister just now, he would definitely tell his sister about letting him go to Yanmen, and let his sister come to intercede with Liu Bang, Liu Bang felt that Mrs. Guan would definitely come to him. She's coming, I just don't know when. Liu Bang listened to her all day long, feeling very annoyed, now she will definitely bother him again for her brother's affairs, if she tells the truth and is afraid that she will have a brainless resentment against the queen, Liu Bang has to find a way to avoid her. Thinking that Mrs. Guan was afraid that the queen would be alone, if she went to the queen, then no matter how much she messed around, she wouldn't dare to go to Changxin Palace to make trouble. So after dinner, I went to Changxin Palace early.

The queen had just finished eating, and had just returned to her bedroom, taking off the generous robe on her outer body, and when she saw the cold and deserted hall, she muttered, "Why hasn't Dai Qing come back yet?" "In the past, Dai Qing accompanied me in everything I did, and even Dai Qing helped me make the bed, but now I asked Dai Qing to go to Jiancheng Houfu to take a trip and put incense on Lu Ling on her behalf, why did she leave without a trace?

The two quilts nested quietly in the corner of the couch, Empress Lu blew out the two candles, just made the bed and took off the hairpin, sat on the edge of the couch and prepared to undress and sleep, and suddenly heard a small palace maid knocking on the door lightly, through the thin window Yingying said, "Niangniang, the emperor is here." ”

Hearing that Liu Bang was coming, Lu Hou's heart was overjoyed, and the joy jumped on his eyebrows, and he got up from the couch and hurriedly walked out of the door without wearing shoes, less than half of the door, the door 'squeaked' opened, and suddenly poured in a cold wind, which blew Lu Hou's black hair flying in front of him, but it was very elegant for a while. Liu Bang came in in a black robe, and the wind behind him made him shiver, and he hurriedly closed the door, freezing so cold that he sneezed twice in a row, rubbing his hands to keep warm. Seeing that the queen had the intention of going out, Liu Bang said while unloading his robe, "Does the queen want to go out?" ”

took the robe removed from Liu Bang's hand, hung it on the shelf next to him, and said with a smile, "No, I heard that the emperor was coming, and I got up to greet him, and His Majesty came in." Have you eaten? ”

Liu Bang nodded and walked straight inside, sitting on the couch that had just been made on the bed, and it was still a little warm after Lu Hou sat on the couch, so Liu Bang put his hand on the position where Lu Hou was sitting just now, and smiled at Lu Hou. Lu Hou also smiled, turned around and went to the inner room to get a stove to warm his hands and gave it to Liu Bang to warm up, and Liu Bang smiled and took the warmth in his hand. After a while, there was no sound, his eyes staring at one place in a daze, and he exhaled heavily.

Seeing him like this, Empress Lu also sat on the edge of the couch, took one of Liu Bang's hands and clasped it to his chest, "Why is Your Majesty frowning?" Having a hard time? ”

Liu Bang gave a light 'oh', and hurriedly said, "No, I have been dealing with political affairs for several days, and I am tired." ”

Lu Hou nodded convincingly, and pinched his arms and shoulders.

Liu Bang craned his neck to look left and right, and looked at it for most of the day before asking, "Why didn't you see Dai Qing with you in the past two days, where did she go?" ”

Empress Lu 'uh', but I didn't expect the emperor to suddenly ask Dai Qing, knowing that Dai Qing went to Jiancheng Houfu to deal with Lu Ling's affairs, these days for Lu Ling's affairs, the emperor and queen are not very happy, and want to avoid the topic of Lu Ling, but I didn't come up with a good excuse for a while, so I had to hold Liu Bang's hand tightly, and looked at Liu Bang's face cautiously, "She, she, she went to her brother's mansion to help the concubine give Lu Ling incense, Your Majesty...... Angry? ”

Liu Bang was stunned for a moment and then smiled, put down the hand warmer, and held her hand in her arms, knowing that the queen didn't want to mention Lu Ling more, so as not to think too much about herself, so she smiled and said, "It's supposed to be incense, how can I blame it?" I haven't dealt with Lu Ling, I don't know what kind of person he is, but now that I'm dead, I don't need to grieve too much. People, they all have to fall and return to their roots, it's just a matter of time. ”

Empress Lu smiled at Liu Bang with guilt and gratitude, looked in the direction of the window, the bell and drum of the third watch were ringing outside, and said to Liu Bang, "It's not early, go to sleep." ”

'Hmm', Liu Bang let go of the hand holding Empress Lu, took off his boots and went to bed. Lu Hou pouted, and also went to bed, the two of them turned their backs to each other, and no one fell asleep immediately, they all opened their eyes widely, each thinking about things, and blew out the candles, which was very quiet.

Mrs. Guan was very concerned about her brother's affairs, and after thinking about her brother's words carefully, she thought about the situation in Yanmen County and felt that her younger brother really couldn't go to Yanmen. After having dinner with his younger brother in his palace, his younger brother went to the back hall to rest, while Mrs. Guan fidgeted and waited for a long time without waiting for Liu Bang's figure, thinking that Liu Bang would not come. My younger brother only has three days to leave Yanmen County, if he can't see Liu Bang for three days, wouldn't it be bad for his younger brother? Mrs. Guan didn't dare to be careless, and immediately decided to go to Liu Bang, thinking that Liu Bang should be in Mrs. Qi's Yuzao Palace, so she went straight to Yuzao Palace with Chanxin. Mrs. Guan used to come to Yuzao Palace often, and those palace maids didn't stop her when they saw her, so they let her casually break into the inner hall of Yuzao Palace and find Mrs. Qi's residence, but found that Mrs. Qi was alone.

Seeing Mrs. Guan's sudden arrival at night, it was Mrs. Qi who was interested, and she walked down the hall happily and was about to speak, but Mrs. Guan looked fierce and asked urgently, "What about the emperor?" Didn't the emperor come here? ”

Mrs. Qi shook her head and said sarcastically, "Hasn't the emperor been with Madame these days?" What's the matter, is Madam annoyed Your Majesty? ”

I didn't want to listen to Mrs. Qi's sarcastic words, Mrs. Guan glanced at her, the corners of Nunu's mouth, and turned around and walked away with a flick of the mandarin duck embroidery. Just about to walk out of the main hall, he suddenly stopped and turned around, and said to Mrs. Qi in a serious manner, "I got rid of Lu Ling for you." Then he walked away without looking back.

Mrs. Qi was left stunned, Lu Ling? Mrs. Qi lived in seclusion in the deep palace, not knowing that Mrs. Guan had already acted and killed Lu Ling. The emperor had never told her about this, and when Mrs. Guan said this, she immediately made Mrs. Qi puzzled, and after thinking about it carefully, Mrs. Qi laughed, and immediately stopped smiling and glanced cautiously at both sides. It's just late at night, and there is no girl waiting by the side, if you hear Mrs. Guan say this, who can know that tonight's events will not leak out. When Mrs. Qi thought of this, she blamed the lady for being unrestrained, and she was a little afraid.

thought that Liu Bang couldn't stand Mrs. Guan's entanglement and nagging, so he left Linhua Palace, so why didn't he come to his palace? Mrs. Qi didn't know the reason after all, and she had to think about Mrs. Guan's words, 'I got rid of Lu Ling for you', thinking that Mrs. Guan was very neat and ruthless, and she just knocked down a member of the Lu family. It's just that I have never heard that there is anything wrong with Empress Lu, I haven't heard that Empress Lu went out of the palace to incense Lu Ling, and I haven't heard that Empress Lu cried, Changxin Palace is quiet as usual, it seems that nothing happened, but I heard that Empress Lu often goes to the nullah to meditate, and also goes to Liyang Palace to visit the emperor. Thinking that Empress Lu was so calm in her troubles, and thinking about what Jing Tian said a month ago that the queen was attacked but blocked the news and dealt with by herself, I finally didn't understand what the queen was thinking and what the queen was planning. Why did her distant nephew die, she disposed of it as if it had never happened, and she didn't make trouble or investigate, thinking about this, Mrs. Qi broke out in a cold sweat, feeling that the consequences of the emperor were not something that ordinary people could bear.

Seeing Mrs. Guan's hurried appearance, it didn't seem like the two had an awkward quarrel, and in the end, I didn't know what was wrong with them, so I simply didn't care about the two of them, and Mrs. Qi fell asleep easily.

Madame Guan saw that the emperor was not here with Madame Qi, and she didn't know where to find him after she came out, thinking about where the emperor might go as she walked. It's so late, the emperor will definitely sleep in which woman's palace, I just don't know where he will go tonight, usually the emperor is either here or in Yuzao Palace, but now he sees that he is not in Yuzao Palace, so where will he go? Mrs. Guan's heart is nothing more than a few places, where is the queen? Where is Zhao Meiren? Or is it Shi Meiren, or Madame Bo? Even if the emperor usually doesn't like to run to Mrs. Bo, in order to find the emperor, she has to try, so she went to Mrs. Bo first, and it was easy to come to Mrs. Bo's Jinhua Palace once a few months, just entered the palace gate, and saw that Mrs. Bo's bedroom was dark, very quiet, there were only four palace maids on duty at the door, but those palace maids were also sleepy, their backs against the wall and staggering in confusion, even Mrs. Guan didn't see it.

After Mrs. Guan walked in front of her and stood in front of her for a while, they came to their senses as if they were smart, and hurriedly knelt down and saluted, "See Madame." ”

Mrs. Guan ignored their words, stepped forward and asked in a low voice, "Has the emperor been here tonight?" ”

The palace maids looked at each other, muttered and shook their heads, and said with a little complaint, "The emperor has been here for most of the year, and he must have forgotten about his wife." ”

Mrs. Guan nodded with a puzzled and a hint of loss, she hoped that the emperor would be here, so there would be no need to look for it, originally thinking that the emperor would think that he would not expect him to come to the lady who had not seen him for almost half a year, but he did not expect him to be here. The emperor did this, obviously not wanting himself to find him, since he was not here in favor of falling out of favor, nor in being in the place of being favored, then where would he go?

Mrs. Guan pursed her mouth when she had no idea, looked at the palace maids who were frozen in the wind, and then looked at Mrs. Bo's room that had been blowing the lights for a long time, thinking of the words of the palace maids just now, thinking that Mrs. Bo was indeed more wronged than herself, and the emperor was indeed in Jinhua Palace for a long time. Sighing lightly, he didn't want to disturb Mrs. Bo, so he patted the shoulder of a little palace maid and said softly, "Take good care of Mrs. Bo." ”

The palace maids nodded, not only had they not seen the emperor for a long time, but they had not seen Mrs. Guan come to Jinhua Palace for a long time, she and Mrs. Bo were good friends, and Mrs. Guan's sudden arrival tonight gave them some time to slowly think about the reason for coming here.

Looking at the deserted Jinhua Palace, Mrs. Guan had to sigh for Mrs. Bo in her heart: the girl is waiting for her beloved; Zi Xi Zixi, where is the future? sighed and went away with Chanxin again.

Mrs. Bo, who was lying inside, listened to the conversation between Mrs. Guan and the palace maids clearly, Mrs. Bo did not sleep, Mrs. Bo did not miss the emperor, but the emperor really did not have himself in his heart, and after beating himself back to Guanzhong, it was even more sad than the queen's life, the emperor had never been here once, but Mrs. Bo was not a woman who loved to fight, and she also saw the battle between the queen and Mrs. Qi, one day they would defeat one side and become the best who really led the harem. Mrs. Bo is not a queen, she is not so jealous, she is not so strong, she is just a woman who is content with life and wishes for a quiet life.

Listening to Mrs. Guan telling the palace maid to take care of herself, and listening to Mrs. Guan's pace gradually moving away, the corners of Mrs. Bo's mouth raised a touch of arc and fell asleep.
