Empress Lu's originally clear heart became melancholy again, frowning and thinking about the words of the little palace maid, the words showed the emperor's romantic style everywhere, what should she do, the emperor finally did not have her in his heart, and actually favored another palace maid.

Standing on the pavilion road desperately holding back his anger, the waves in his heart seemed to be five meters high.

Dai Qing came over to see that Empress Lu was unhappy, and said carefully, "Niangniang, the emperor ...... him" Dai Qing saw that this was another of Liu Bang's romantic debts.

Empress Lu raised her hand to block her words, with a little coldness in her faintness, "Put this matter aside and go back to Changxin Palace." ”

"Whoa." Dai Qing carried Empress Lu back to the palace, but she didn't expect that Empress Lu would be tolerable when she encountered this incident, could it be that the war in the harem had smoothed out her fiery character?

Night.

Liu Bang had dinner and came to the Huadian to accompany Mrs. Guan. Mrs. Guan is not well, and it is not good to have a good time, but Mrs. Guan went to the front hall of Weiyang Palace to find Liu Bang a few days ago, so that the civil and military forces of the whole dynasty saw Mrs. Guan's slightly squeamish flattery, and some of the ministers of civil and military affairs secretly laughed at them, and some of them looked disgusted, complaining that such a thing happened in the front hall, and some did not see anything, Liu Bang couldn't bear her entanglement, so he promised her to come to the Huadian to accompany her. Although Chanxin felt that it was not good for Liu Bang to come here every night, she couldn't persuade Mrs. Guan, so she had to acquiesce to her doing such a thing with concern.

It's already halfway through, Mrs. Guan hasn't slept yet, she is still thinking about things on the pillow, looking down at Liu Bang who is sleeping next to the bed, her beautiful beard covers most of her cheeks, and wrinkles have climbed up, but she still can't hide his heroic spirit. Seeing him sleeping soundly, Mrs. Guan reached out and gently touched Liu Bang's high forehead, a warm feeling touched her heart, and she remembered the night when Liu Bang was happy with her when she was on the Chenggao Lingtai, which was also so quiet and beautiful.

Mrs. Guan stroked too hard, and she woke up Liu Bang, turned her head to break away from her hazy eyes and rubbed it, seeing that the hall was still full of fire, and saw Mrs. Guan sitting alone in the red curtain tent inside, and she was enchanting and lovely in the slight candlelight.

"Why don't you sleep yet? Why? Liu Bang scratched the back of his head with his hand, sat up and leaned on the pillow, and dragged the quilt up.

"Concubine, I can't sleep." Mrs. Guan turned her head and looked at Liu Bang with a wilt.

Gently hugged her into his arms, wrapped his arms around her shoulders, pulled the quilt on her again, put his chin against Mrs. Guan's forehead, and said caressingly, "Rest well, my son can be healthy, if you don't sleep, then won't he be very uncomfortable?" With a smile, he stroked Mrs. Guan's lower abdomen.

Mrs. Guan pouted at him coquettishly, leaned on him, stretched out her hand around his neck, and enjoyed it quietly.

"Okay, it's not early, if you can't sleep, you have to lie down, and you'll fall asleep in a while." Liu Bang let go of her shoulders and put down the pillow for her, but Mrs. Guan looked at Liu Bang with a serious face and said seriously, "Your Majesty, the concubine heard something recently, but she didn't know whether to say it or not, and she was afraid of getting into trouble if she said it, but it was a matter of royal reputation, and the concubine was so conflicted." Mrs. Guan leaned sideways, supported her head with one hand, looked at Liu Bang delicately, and muttered.

Liu Bang was stunned for a moment, then asked with a smile, "What's the matter?" Say, I'll take care of it. ”

Mrs. Guan pursed the corners of her mouth, frowned, bit her index finger, and thought about how to talk about it for a while, and finally carefully rehearsed what she rehearsed in her heart and said boldly, "I heard that the queen's distant relative Lu Ling killed someone in Chang'an, but the queen's mother concealed the matter and dealt with it secretly, asking Lu Ling to come to the door in person to apologize and give them a lot of money, but the family members of the killed did not buy the queen's account at all, and kept making noise on Chang'an Street, and everyone in Chang'an knew about it, it was the emperor...... I don't know. Mrs. Guan's voice became smaller and smaller, and she said in a colorful voice, as if she had experienced it, and at the same time saw that Liu Bang's eyes had already changed from the original peace to sharpness, she was very unhappy, and she leaned on the couch motionless and stared at her straight and serious, so that Mrs. Guan suddenly lost her confidence, did not dare to look at Liu Bang, and ran her hair indiscriminately.

Liu Bang narrowed his old eyes that had gone through vicissitudes, thinking about what Mrs. Guan said, without any sleepiness, and asked after a pause, "How do you know?" ”

"This ...... The concubine ......, "Mrs. Guan can't say anything, and she doesn't dare to tell the truth."

"What did Guan Xiuyan say?" It seemed that Liu Bang knew that it was Guan Xiuyan who said it, and when he saw that she was silent, he guessed that it must be him, and said with a little majesty, "Harem women are not allowed to get acquainted with the ministers of the previous dynasty, and there is a high wall, how do you know?" Mrs. Guan was even more at a loss, her eyes didn't know where to put it, and she knelt on the couch and picked up her hand tightly. There was silence in the hall for a while, the atmosphere was stuffy, Liu Bang simply sat up straight and said, "Only Guan Xiuyan has entered the palace in the past few days, who else could it be if he didn't say it?" Say, yes and no? The last sentence suddenly became angry, and Mrs. Guan was startled, and obediently knelt on the couch with her head bowed and did not dare to say half a word. Liu Bang was able to clean up Mrs. Guan, and he could scare her with a word.

Mrs. Guan was very afraid of the angry Liu Bang, her eyes cautiously glanced at him who was angry, and replied in a low voice, "Yes." ”

"You asked him to come to the palace to tell you this?" Liu Bang still asked sternly.

Mrs. Guan replied obediently like a child who had done something wrong, "No, the concubine does miss her brother, but inadvertently her brother said something about Lu Ling, and the concubine felt that Lu Ling was insulting to the royal family, so she called His Majesty over." ”

Liu Bang exhaled roughly, Mrs. Guan lowered her head and didn't dare to look at him, but she felt that Liu Bang was a little angry from the exhalation voice.

"I asked you to persuade Xiuyan's words and deeds, did you persuade you?"

Mrs. Guan rolled her eyes, she didn't know what Liu Bang asked her to persuade, and she vaguely told her brother not to renew the incident and act sparingly. Not sure if he was referring to this, he said vaguely, "Persuad, persuade him to be a little more self-disciplined." ”

Liu Bang continued to look displeased.

"Your Majesty, now is not the time to blame Xiuyan, now everyone in Chang'an knows that the Lu family kills people, it depends on how the emperor handles this matter, maybe this matter will soon reach the ears of the emperor, and the emperor will have to make plans early." Mrs. Guan suddenly stepped forward and grabbed Liu Bang's hand to persuade Liu Bang to quickly come up with an idea to solve this matter.

Liu Bang looked at Mrs. Guan suspiciously, and sneered in a tone of disbelief, "You actually care about the queen? ”

"The concubine doesn't care about the queen, the concubine is worried about the emperor, and when the emperor set Guanzhong, he promised the fathers and elders in Guanzhong, and he agreed with them in three chapters: death for murderers, death for injuries and theft. Now, unfortunately, the queen's family happened to encounter such misfortune, and the concubine knew that the emperor would be embarrassed, and she was very entangled in the queen's face, and she understood that the emperor would definitely know, so it was better to tell the emperor to prepare early, otherwise the emperor would be caught off guard when the time came, and the emperor would not be very embarrassed? If the emperor wants to blame the concubine, the concubine has nothing to say. Mrs. Guan didn't care what Liu Bang thought at this time, and no matter how he looked at himself, she said it stubbornly.

Liu Bang continued to lean on the couch without saying a word, crossing his hands on his chest and exhaling roughly, some angry Mrs. Guan told him this, and suddenly Liu Bang had a mentality of covering his ears and stealing the bell, and he didn't want to deal with the difficult things about the queen, but someone told him. In addition to being angry and meddling with his wife, he also complained that some ministers blocked the matter, otherwise he knew that he was afraid of the queen settling accounts or something else? just told the emperor all the bad things about Guan Xiuyan, it turned out that the Lu family did more than this, and suddenly complained a little bit about Queen Lu. Liu Bang's face was gloomy, and he told himself in his heart: The queen actually hid this matter from me, does she want to deal with it alone? And how is it handled? Will Lu Ling pay for his life? Why didn't she ask my opinion?

Shaking his head, he couldn't figure out why the queen wanted to hide it from him, was she afraid that he would execute Lu Ling? Or do you want the world to know that she is a powerful queen? Can you cover the sky with one hand?

The oil lamp was about to run out, Liu Bang thought hard to no avail, yawned and wiped his face with both hands, "Sleep, I will deal with this matter, don't talk nonsense about Lu Ling's affairs, otherwise when the queen takes your words, I won't be able to speak for you." Liu Bang's tone was a little soft, he shook Mrs. Guan's hand, didn't blame Mrs. Guan for being troublesome, helped her lie down, pulled the quilt for her, and patted her lightly on the quilt in front of her.

I also put my arm outside the quilt in, and I couldn't sleep with my eyes open when I turned my back to Mrs. Guan.

"Lu Ling killed people, you also hide it from me, if you don't deal with this matter, who else will abide by the Han Dian law? Does the queen not believe me so much? Liu Bang muttered in his heart, at this time the oil lamp had been exhausted, and the hall was dark. Mrs. Guan had already fallen asleep in a daze, but Liu Bang tossed and turned, and her heart was so confused that she really couldn't sleep.
