"Miss, the king is here. It's still ...... tonight," Cui Juan said as she entered the house.

Qi Zhao nodded, Lingxi understood what he meant, and when he left the gate of Xianglan Palace, he said to the eunuch who was waiting for a reply: "The master said that he was unwell, and he asked the king to take care of him and come back another day." ”

Gong Sheng frowned, sighed, and turned to leave, and Chang Xi, the great eunuch who was on duty at night, also sighed, stretched out his finger, waved at the spirit rhino, and left with the king.

Seeing that the palace students who came out of Afang Palace with a gray face were in a depressed mood, the big eunuch on the side Chang Xi couldn't help but arch his hand and said, "King, do you have any disagreements with that Bao Niangniang?" If so, you might as well talk to the old slave to listen to it, although the old slave is shallow, but he also wants to share the worries of the king. The old slave has also stayed in this palace for decades, and it may be possible to share the king's worries. ”

Gong Sheng stared at the old eunuch next to him, and when the eunuch saw that Gong Sheng's expression was wrong, he knelt down on the ground and said: "The old slave should die, the old slave should die, please atone for the king." ”

Gong Sheng sighed and said, "You get up first." Lonely with her, others can't help. ”

"No-" Chang Xi didn't dare to speak.

Seeing that he walked and walked to the gate of Afang Palace, Gong Sheng stopped, glanced at the gilded plaque blankly, couldn't help sighing, and turned back to the Palace of Nourishing Hearts.

These two women still failed after all.

"What you said is true?" Empress Dowager Jiang listened to the little eunuch in the hall while eating supper.

"No one can lie to you."

Empress Dowager Jiang pinched out the peach pit between her lips with her fingers, put her hand to the side, and the little eunuch who was kneeling on the ground took it with a sneer.

"Alright, got it. Go back on an errand, but be careful, if you let the king get the handle, the mourning family will not be able to save you. ”

"The villain knows, the villain knows."

"Well, alright, let's go down." Empress Dowager Jiang lazily waved her hand at the little eunuch.

"No—"

Cai Ping, a personal maid on the side, offered mouthwash tea to the Queen Mother, and asked on the side: "Queen Mother, this king is really strange." Could it be that you really don't love this country, only love that beauty? ”

The Queen Mother spit out the tea in her mouth, leaned on the warm kang seat, waved her hand and asked Cai Ping to come over and press her temples, while she squinted her eyes and frowned and said: "Hmph, it's really two biological brothers, both of them are temperamental, it seems that this Da Zhou is in danger." ”

"Thinking that the one in the Afang Palace has given birth to the emperor's heir, the country is stable, and the queen mother is ...... again"

The Queen Mother frowned and waved her hand: "You came late, I don't know the level, my imperial grandson has been born for more than a month, but so far there is no name, the dignified heir has no name, you say, so, can it be good?" ”

Cai Ping continued: "Do you want to find someone to remind the king? ”

"Reminder? Hum! Now the mourning family is in this cold palace, people are soft-spoken, although they have made do with brocade clothes and jade food, but after all, they are still a useless queen mother. What's more, even if this Great Zhou is defeated in the hands of this kid one day, it is still the end of the Great Zhou's energy, and the mourning family has nothing to say. The old queen mother said slowly while enjoying Cai Ping's massage.

If one day, Da Zhou's qi is exhausted, then he will save his strength, and it can be regarded as avenging Zhao Situ, her lover. When the Queen Mother thought about it, she felt happy in her heart.

"By the way, how are those beauties preparing?" The Queen Mother asked.

"It has been prepared, in addition to the beauties of the Changchang Palace, there are also princesses and county lords offered by the princes, as well as many county lords and female officials of Fanbang. It's just that the kingdom of Naxiyu is different from other states. Come to think of it, it must be because of the previous incident of the beauty meeting the black lizard, and the monarch of the Xiyu Kingdom wanted to rely on this draft to repair the relationship with our dynasty, so he attached so much importance to it, not only gave her favorite princess, but also specially sent a lot of dowries, one of which was directly sent to our Cining Palace. ”

Empress Dowager Jiang didn't even open her eyes, she was so lazy to the side, and said with disgust in her words: "What good things can that old guy from Xiyu Kingdom give, hmph, it's nothing more than some strange astrolabe or something, what are you doing here at the mourning family." Go, send those things to Si Tianjian together, and when the time comes, it will be of some use to sell the personal favor of the mourning family. ”

"Queen Mother, what is in that box is not Si Tian's astrolabe, but real money."

When Empress Dowager Jiang heard this, she picked her eyes, opened her eyes a slit, paused, and closed them again.

"Bring that beauty to me tomorrow." As he spoke, he waved his hand and told Cai Ping to wait for her to go to bed.

"No—"

"Miss, Lingxi knows that there are some things that Lingxi shouldn't say. But Lingxi only felt that this was not a solution. Now that the king has married the Nashen family as the queen, it is also to weigh the pros and cons of the court and stabilize the hearts of the ministers. At present, Queen Shen has a prince, and in the future, she will be the queen mother of this Great Zhou Dynasty and the prince's mother. Lingxi knows that you and the king have a deep relationship, but no matter how deep the friendship is, in the man's heart, he can't resist the temptation of this right after all. What's more, he is still the king of this Celestial Empire. Lingxi put down and raised it to Qi Zhao's mouth, but the food that still didn't move at all comforted.

Qizhao didn't speak, but with tiredness in his eyes, he was looking at the birds chirping outside the window.

I didn't think about tea and dinner for a few days, and my mind was depressed, so that the bones of my body that had just grown up became weak again.

Seeing that Qi Zhao didn't speak, Ling Xi waved his hand to let the palace maids retreat outside the door, and he took a shawl and draped it on Qi Zhao's body, and said faintly: "If you feel that you are having a hard time now, why don't you find a way to rescue you from the palace this week and live your own life?" Even if it is a copper coin and an iron arm, Lingxi is willing to give it a try for you, Miss. ”

When Qizhao heard this, he couldn't help but come back to his senses. She picked the corners of her lips and pulled Lingxi to the kang chair and sat down.

The cold moonlight was reflected on Qizhao's face through the window, and the haggard appearance made people feel distressed to watch.

"Spirit."

Qi Zhao, who hadn't spoken for a long time, called softly, Lingxi was a little excited, and hurriedly agreed: "Miss, Lingxi is here." ”

"You don't have to worry about me, I have already figured out what you said, and now I don't see him because I don't know what to say when I meet. My mind is still in turmoil, and the affairs of Xiyu Kingdom are stuck in my throat like a fishbone, so I don't know how to talk to him. I'm fine, you don't have to worry. Qizhao whispered, but the voice seemed to travel far, far away, and the sound of the wind drifted into Lingxi's ears.

Lingxi frowned, helped Qi Zhao's cloak tighten, and said: "The affairs of the Xiyu Kingdom are like a fish in the throat, and this palace is also the Longtan Tiger's Den, just for this unsympathetic Son of Heaven, is it worth it for you to swallow these in your stomach like this?" Is it really worth it? ”
