When Li Zhao returned to the palace, Yang Houzhao was already there, knowing that she had gone to Cining Palace, and he was about to look for him.

Seeing that the person was back, Yang Houzhao hurriedly grabbed Li Zhao's hand and asked, "Has the queen mother embarrassed you?" You're not wronged, are you? ”

Looking at the thoughtful and distressed light in those starry eyes, even if he was wronged outside, he has no worries now.

Li Zhao raised his eyebrows, and his tone was unpleasant: "How could I be wronged?" There is no grievance at all, I have listened to Uncle Yang's words, and I will definitely stick to my position. ”

Yang Houzhao smiled at ease, and then mentioned it in his heart, because today Li Yangdong and Yang Tinghe told him that the Queen Mother had secretly approached the cabinet and asked the cabinet to propose to abolish Li Zhao.

That is, her mother, ready to start.

The people, civil officials, clans, and the coercion of the queen mother, he has a feeling of being set aside, and even since he ascended the throne, he has encountered countless things that the ministers disagree with, but he is not as stressful as this time.

"That's good, that's good." Yang Houzhao came back to his senses and said.

I just don't know whether he is comforting himself or Li Zhao.

****

In winter, it gets dark early, and Li Zhao is ready to bathe after dinner.

In the hot spring room, Aunt Qin helped her get her clothes, and she suddenly asked, "Didn't you see Long Live Lord?" ”

Aunt Qin sighed, and then said in a low voice: "Niangniang, long live the Lord really wants to come back from the outside and has something on his mind, so he just said that he was going to Cining Palace, didn't he want to compromise with the Queen Mother?" ”

Li Zhao didn't say anything, and undressed silently.

The surroundings suddenly fell into a dead silence, looking at the scene when the queen walked to the hot spring, in the misty water, Aunt Qin suddenly thought of what the emperor and queen might do at night, her head twitched, and asked, "Are you still washing?" What if Banzai compromised? ”

Li Zhao thought for a while: "......"

Then he looked back and smiled: "You must not have heard a word, love each other every day, when the end of the world, if that's the case, so involuntarily, we have to break up happily." ”

The topic of breaking up is too heavy, even if the emperor compromises, there is nothing to do with breaking up.

Aunt Qin covered her mouth with her hands and didn't ask again.

Over there, Yang Houzhao stood in front of the Queen Mother, and kept begging: "Queen Mother, you give Ah Zhao another chance, no, Ah Zhao didn't do anything wrong, you give your son another chance."

The cow doesn't drink water and pushes his head, and Erchen really doesn't need other women now. ”

The Queen Mother is wearing a purple Queen Mother today, and her color is a little old, but the gorgeous lines on her body make her whole person add a lot of dignity.

She sat on the couch holding a teacup, and her expression was rare and leisurely.

It was she who asked the little emperor to come, and she was confident to persuade her son, of course, leisurely.

She said: "Emperor, there are more men and women, it's not a big deal, the mourning family also promised you, it's not difficult for your queen, as long as the emperor gives birth to a boy and half a girl, you won't say anything if you drive those women away."

Otherwise, when the time comes, you will give the child to the queen to raise, which will not only relieve her urgent need to have no children under her knees, but also explain to the people and the ancestors and ancestors on your side, why are you always so stubborn? There are so many workarounds, so why not. ”

So the mother's purpose is to have a child?

But seeing the smile on his mother's face, but now it was cold, he knew that those words were false.

He said: "The relationship between two people, how can you accommodate other people, if you can accommodate one, you can accommodate the second, there will be a lot, and in the end, there are many people between me and Ah Zhaozhi, do you really think we can go back to the past?" ”

The Queen Mother thought to herself that this mourner couldn't control it.

She doesn't want to care, it's good that the queen falls out of favor.

But her son was still stubborn, and she didn't have much patience, and her expression became solemn: "Otherwise, you can only abolish the queen, and the queen said today that she would be abolished by the mourning family." ”

Yang Houzhao looked slightly stunned: "Ah Zhao really said that?" But Li Zhao said that she was not wronged.

The queen mother thought that her son was sad, not distressed by Li Zhao.

She continued: "No, Huang'er, this is the woman you love, she wants you to have no queen, she can't have children and won't let you have a child, she just wants to hug you tightly in order not to fall out of favor, for your favor."

There was no accommodation at all.

There is no understanding at all.

Didn't think about the royal family at all.

This is an extremely selfish woman, so she said, let the mourning family abolish her, and threaten you and the mourning family with leaving, and we are not allowed to stay in the royal family. ”

"Don't say it, Queen Mother."

The Queen Mother looked at the son who interrupted her with disgruntled eyes.

Yang Houzhao actually wanted to say that he preferred Li Zhao's choice, but after a pause, the fighting spirit in his heart was all gone, because even if he explained to the queen mother, could the queen mother understand him immediately?

The queen mother just wants a child.

He changed his words and suddenly said: "Queen Mother, let's talk about it for a long time, what if it's not Ah Zhaodao's problem, it's my problem, and I can't give birth to other women?" ”

The Queen Mother had heard this phrase once before.

But when she heard her son repeat it again, she still changed her expression in a hurry, and said, "You haven't tried it again, how do you know that you can't give birth?" ”

Yang Houzhao said: "But before I was with Ah Zhao, there were other women, and no one was pregnant." ”

The queen mother gritted her teeth and stood up, eager to slap this son twice, for a woman, he is willing to take a man to himself for such a thing as not being able to have children.

She roared in a low voice: "Let's talk about the mourning family, you are only twenty years old this year, who dares to be sure that it is your problem?"

It's that the queen has a problem, you have to give birth to a grandson for the mourning family, and if a woman can't do it, you will find it again until she is born. ”

"Queen Mother's ......"

"If you can't give birth to a child, don't call the mourning mother, it's not that the mourning family doesn't have a son like you." Seeing that the conversation was about to collapse, a golden light flashed in the hysterical Queen Mother's mind.

She doesn't need to lose her temper, she just needs to threaten, and her son will obediently.

She retracted her temper, her tone suddenly became gentle, and said, "Emperor, now that this is the case, you have no choice but to abolish the queen." It was the mourning family who felt sorry for you, and was afraid that you would lose Li Zhao and couldn't stand it, so they gave you another way.

Therefore, the mourning family can keep her in the palace and give her the title of queen, so that others will not respect her and bully her.

But the mourning family can do all this, the premise is that you try to let the mourning family know that you can have children.

Isn't that a good deal?

As long as the mourning family has children, it doesn't matter who the emperor really loves, and what the emperor has to do is to protect the queen, as long as you have another woman, the queen will not become a target.

Think for yourself. ”

Yang Houzhao frowned with a look of repulsion.

The queen mother knew that it would not work if she was not persecuted, and said: "After tonight, the mourning family will arrange someone for the emperor, and the emperor has any hardships to explain to the queen, go now, go, otherwise, the day after tomorrow waiting for the queen is the cold palace." ”
