Feng came to the palace, and when he heard that the emperor was coming, he was in chaos for a while.

Because they had invited Li Hongzhi many times before, they didn't come, so they thought that they wouldn't come in the future, so they didn't make any preparations at all, but they didn't expect to come suddenly.

"Quick, tell Niangniang quickly, the saint is coming." A palace maid stood at the gate of the palace garden, and from afar she saw a bright yellow figure slowly coming here, and another palace maid turned around and immediately ran back.

The palace maid had just crossed the threshold with a pair of legs, and the woman in the gorgeous dress reclining on the chaise longue was originally squinting her eyes and pretending to sleep, but as soon as she heard the sound of someone coming in, she immediately opened her eyes, and a pair of beautiful eyes were full of light, and she did not look seriously ill at all.

"Really here?" Her lips opened slightly, and she said softly.

"Back to the concubine, it's really here. However, he only brought one person with him, and he came on foot, and he did not take a foot. The palace maid lowered her voice and said.

After saying that, the woman immediately stood up from the chaise longue, squinted her eyes, and said, "It seems that it was a whim, and I wanted to come and explore the bottom of the palace." What are you still doing in a daze? Hurry up and give me some makeup, since you want to pretend, pretend to be thorough, this palace doesn't believe that he can still speak hard to a patient in this palace? ”

"Yes."

The difference is that in just a few dozen steps, Li Hongzhi walked out of the distance from this palace to another palace, he was not in a hurry, he was still smiling on his face, and from time to time he said something funny to Sanyu who was following him, and he seemed to be in a very good mood.

"Why do you say that Wu Zhaoqu, a woman, doesn't know how to stop so much? She just likes to fight with me so much, she still really thinks I'm a useless fool. When Li Hongzhi said this, the corners of his lips were raised, and his eyes seemed to be narrowed because he was in a good mood.

Sanyu was a little helpless, his master was clearly being bullied by others, but he was still smiling on his face, whether the means on the other side had been exhausted, or his own master's city was too deep, and he didn't care about these small fights.

When he walked to the gate of the palace, Li Hongzhi looked up at the three words Fenglai Palace, which was supposed to be the place where his mother lived, but now it was occupied by a villain.

The smile on his lips was still there, but it was slowly getting colder, and Sanyu, who was standing behind him, noticed Li Hongzhi's subtle emotional changes, and called softly: "Your Majesty, it's time to go in." ”

Li Hongzhi came back to his senses, took a deep breath, and then slowly stepped into the threshold.

"Welcome ......"

"No need." Li Hongzhi raised his hand slightly, and the palace maids and eunuchs who were standing at the door and were ready to give gifts were all blocked, and he himself slowly stepped in with his hands behind his back.

Sanyu didn't follow up, just stood at the door, raised his chin at those palace maids and eunuchs, and said, "You are all busy with your going, there is our family waiting here." ”

The chief manager said so, and those palace maids and eunuchs in lower positions naturally didn't dare to stay longer, so they quickly bent down and retreated, Sanyu glanced at the room quietly, there was no movement yet, even so, he couldn't calm down in his heart, and he always felt that this was the calm before the storm, which made people frightened, and they didn't dare to relax in the slightest.

"I heard you're sick." Li Hongzhi stood at the table, looking at the inner room, the bead curtain was lowered, he couldn't see clearly what the situation of the people inside was, but he didn't want to see it clearly, because he felt disgusting.

The person lying on the bed seemed to be very weak, and even the words that came out of his mouth were weak, Li Hongzhi didn't go in, just sat down, and the palace maids and eunuchs had already been sent out by him, he glanced outside, there was Sanyu guarding, and his heart suddenly settled down a lot. If he is ruthless today, he can kill this pretending woman directly here, and then pretend to be seriously ill and pass away, anyway, she has been sick for so long, anyway, he is also a faint king with a reputation, and it is not a big deal to die of anger, at most, it is just the reputation of another angry mother.

"The Emperor is here?"

"Yes, I've been a little bit idle lately, so I'm coming to see you, are you feeling better?" Li Hongzhi poured himself a cup of tea, took a sip lightly, the tea was fragrant, the tea in the Fenglai Palace was better than the tea in his imperial study, Wu Zhidun was really willing to give his daughter a thought.

"When you're old, can't you be sick? It's just a day to live, and it's probably okay to be well, the emperor has a heart, and he is so busy with political affairs, and he still has to worry about me as an old woman. Wu Zhaoqu hoarsely lay on the bed, looking at Li Hongzhi sitting outside through the hazy gauze curtain.

This emperor was raised by her.

On the surface, the two seem to have no estrangement, and the relationship is very good, and he listens to her very much, and has never done anything disobedient to her since he was a child. But only she knows that this son on the surface does not look as well-behaved as he appears, but does things that are even more excessive behind his back than disobeying her in person, and he has been acting more and more excessively over the years, and she can only look silent on the surface and let it go.

"Mother, before my son came, I went to the Tai Hospital, and I heard the doctors say that your body should bask in the sun more, go out and walk around more, and blow the wind, so that the turbidity in your body is easy to dissipate. If you are in the house all day long, won't you suffocate? Li Hongzhi said, the corners of his lips were slightly raised, and the end of his words seemed to be overflowing with a shallow smile, with a gesture of filial piety.

Wu Zhaoqu sneered, and his body hidden in the futon couldn't help trembling slightly because of anger, and he almost squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth: "The emperor has a heart." ”

"Mother, my son still wants to ask you." Li Hongzhi paused, Wu Zhaoqu lay inside, listening to Li Hongzhi say half of what he said, her heart hung up, and then she still heard the words she didn't want to hear: "Where did you hide the jade seal?" ”

"I've said it many times, not here in this palace!" Wu Zhaoqu admitted that she had lied many times in her life, but only this incident, she never lied, and I don't know why, in the face of Li Hongzhi's questions again and again, she couldn't hold back her anger every time.

Her fists were clenched tightly, and her nails almost pierced her palms because of the force, and she wanted to roar, but the remaining sanity made her try to maintain the etiquette of being the Queen Mother.

Li Hongzhi smiled, he didn't have any other intentions when he came over today, he just wanted to be angry with her and make himself happy. In the past, no matter what he said and asked, Wu Zhaoqu was calm and calm, only when she slandered her, she would be so angry that she couldn't help herself, and the lost jade seal was the best way.

He knew that the jade seal was not in Wu Zhaoqu's hands, and he also knew that Wu Zhaoqu was also looking for the whereabouts of the jade seal, and a nameless cauldron was on his head, and he would be angry if he changed anyone.

But Li Hongzhi won't, he has long been accustomed to those crimes that he wants to add, if it weren't for those crimes that he wants to add, how could Wu Zhaoqu think that he was a useless fool, so he left his life and helped him to the throne?

When leaving Fenglai Palace, Li Hongzhi heard the sound of the tea bowl breaking from inside the palace, which was very crisp and pleasant, Sanyu followed behind, shrunk his neck, and sighed in his heart, in the end, he still came to be angry.

"Sanyu, do you also think that I am a little vexatious? What is the busyness of government affairs? What's the day? She and Wu Zhidun kept the following things a secret, and the folds handed to me were all useless things, what else did I have to do? If you don't trouble her everywhere, you're already well-behaved and sensible, right? Li Hongzhi suddenly stopped, he tilted his head to look at a palace wall, and fell silent.

Sanyu hesitated for a while, took a half step forward, and said, "Your Majesty, forgive the slave for his false words." Servants and His Majesty grew up since childhood, and in the eyes of others, what His Majesty did was probably reckless, willful, and could not afford the identity of the prince, but His Majesty still ascended the throne. If Your Majesty had been a fool, he would have died in that struggle many years ago. Others may not understand, but Sanyu can still understand something. ”

Li Hongzhi didn't reply, just pointed to the palace wall and asked, "Who lives here?" ”

Chang Yu looked over and said: "Back to Your Majesty, it is a cold palace, no one lives at present, the last one who lived here was the former emperor's concubine, I heard that it was poisoned to the current side queen mother, that is, Wu Guifei at that time, and the murder failed, but was exposed, and was beaten into the cold palace by the first emperor." ”

"I did such a thing, but I was only beaten into the cold palace by my father?"

"Back to Your Majesty, it was Concubine Wu who interceded."

Li Hongzhi smiled, shook his hand, and walked in the direction of his imperial study, saying as he walked: "I don't believe that this pretending woman would be so kind. ”

"Naturally not, that concubine later died of the same poison, and it is said that before she died, she was tortured extremely cruelly." Sanyu hung her head, slowly followed behind, and whispered.

"Is there anything else in this palace that you don't know?" Li Hongzhi asked with a smile.

Sanyu also smiled: "Back to Your Majesty, people are doing it, the sky is watching, as long as you have a heart, you will definitely be able to find clues, and then you can follow the vine and touch the melon, it is only a matter of time before you learn the truth." ”

"Yes, people are doing it, and the sky is watching." Li Hongzhi repeated, quite emotional.

He felt that this life was very short, and it was not in vain to have Sanyu by his side such a person who knew and understood people's hearts. He has also harmed a lot of people, and there are many innocent people among those people, his hands are not clean, but God still left Sanyu by his side, probably because the virtue accumulated in his previous life was left to Sanyu.

Unconsciously, Li Hongzhi touched the red rope on his wrist, no one knew the origin of this red rope, Wu Zhaoqu also asked him, but he kept silent, only said that he was given it in the temple where he went out of the palace to worship when he was young, and he kept it safe, so he kept wearing it, Wu Zhaoqu also believed it half-convinced, and never asked again.

"There are many people to be sorry for in this life, and you are also one." Li Hongzhi sat on the chair in the imperial study, looking at the red rope on his wrist stupidly, and Sanyu stood below, his heart heavy.
