The Empress Dowager said with satisfaction: "When you go back, call yourself sick, take care of it for a few days, and when it's almost over, I'll let someone call you out." ”

Fu Zifei quietly retreated.

Mulberry walked in and said worriedly: "Niangniang, the queen will be resentful, right?" ”

The Empress Dowager scoffed: "Do you think she didn't have a grudge before?" Her resentment has never been less, and she will not hate me because I have been nice to her, unless she holds all the things she wants in front of her and satisfies her, she will not hate. How can it be? It's good for her to hate, and only when she hates does she have the strength to do things, otherwise how can she listen to me? ”

Mulberry handed her the medicine: "It's time for you to take the medicine." ”

"Put it here, I'll drink it later." The Empress Dowager motioned to Mulberry: "You go and send a message to the emperor, just say, I know what happened today, I have punished the queen, so that he and the regent don't have to take it to heart, and just deal with big things with peace of mind." As for the little eunuch named Wei Tiande......"

Mulberry was a little nervous: "Does Niangniang want him to die?" ”

The Empress Dowager smiled: "No, if you want him to live, he is so loyal to the princess regent, if the princess regent says a word, he dares to risk his life to offend the queen, and he must be kept." ”

Mulberry didn't understand what the Empress Dowager was going to do, so she had to pass the word in a daze.

The Empress Dowager stared at the dark potion, lifted it up and drank about a third, and then poured the rest into a flower pot on the side. Jiangzhouzi's soothing painkiller is a good medicine, but unfortunately it hurts her brain too much and she can't eat it all, she can bear it, usually one-third is enough, and she only takes it all when Mingzhu comes.

Peng Liang came in from outside, knelt on the ground, and said softly, "Niangniang." ”

The Empress Dowager frowned: "Gu Ruliang's family has been arranged?" You've dealt with all the people who know about it? ”

Peng Liang lowered his voice: "Yes, Gu Ruliang is full of loyalty, and his family naturally deserves a rich reward." Not many people know about it, damn it all. Fu Mingzhao will be found by our people before Fu Mingzheng arrives, and then escorted into Beijing. ”

The Empress Dowager said: "No one guessed that Gu Ruliang was our person, right?" ”

Peng Liang said softly: "Niangniang has worked hard for Daxia for so many years, how many people have received Niangniang's favor? How can a hairy boy like the King of England compare? He's been arrogant for more than a year, and it's time for him to wake up. ”

The Empress Dowager frowned slightly: "In the end, so many people have died, I am uneasy." Whatever sins you have, you should only repay me, and do not blame anyone else. ”

Peng Liang said: "In order to maintain orthodoxy and prevent traitors from succeeding, some sacrifices are necessary. Just like King Ying, in order to keep the state, he also ordered to give up Dingjia Town, who should those wronged souls in Dingjia Town go to? Everything is focused on the overall situation, and if the city is lost, it can be recaptured, and the mother doesn't have to think about it. ”

The Empress Dowager sighed: "I'm still very uncomfortable in my heart, you can step down." ”

Peng Liang quietly retreated.

At night, in the Regent's Mansion, Mingzhu calmed the two children and walked to Yu Wenchu's small study in Yinghui Hall to flip through the books. On the wall of the small study is a miniature version of the Kanyu map, and the important towns of the Northland, the Eeling, and the tail water defense line are outlined by Yu Wenchu with a red brush, which is very conspicuous.

Mingzhu stroked the red lines on the map with his hand, imagining the scene and mood when Yu Wenchu sketched here one by one, and thousands of thoughts came to his heart.

Mama Zheng stayed aside, very distressed when she saw this: "Princess, it's not early, you better rest early, right?" ”

Mingzhu shook her head, took out a few copies of the county and state chronicles from the northland from the bookcase, and prepared to take them to the bedroom to read. She has never had such a strong desire to be well-informed and knowledgeable, and she knows the mountains and rivers and customs of Great Xia well, she is not as smart as others, but she can know everything.

Mama Zheng came over to help her carry the books: "Give them all to the old slave." ”

Originally, Mama Zheng was also doing these jobs often, and Mingzhu handed her the book: "Put them all next to my pillow." ”

When Mama Zheng left, she sat down at Yu Wenchu's desk for a while, determining what she was going to do in the future and how she was going to do it. Su Mei poked her head outside the door, beckoned Dong Hui to go out and whispered a few words, Dong Hui came in, looking a little embarrassed: "Wei Tiande was sent back." ”

Mingzhu was a little apprehensive: "What's wrong with him?" ”

Dong Hui said: "After being beaten with twenty court rods, His Royal Highness said that he will stay by the princess's side to serve you in the future, and there is no need to follow His Highness." ”

Mingzhu froze for a moment and took a deep breath: "I'll go see him." ”

Although Wei Tiande was sent back, because the person who sent him back did not say what he wanted to do with him, and he sent it to Mingzhu, Li Xinxin still asked people to send him back to the original house to lie down, and asked Tang Chunlai for some good plasters.

Wei Tiande usually has a sweet mouth that doesn't offend people, and many people came to see him when they heard the news, and when they heard him describe Fu Zifei's embarrassment, they all laughed out loud. Mingzhu listened to the laughter outside, and felt that the matter was not as serious as she imagined, and Yu Wenchu should still be merciful.

Seeing Mingzhu enter, people smiled and saluted her, and then retreated in a regular manner, Wei Tiande struggled to get up and salute Mingzhu: "What is a slave and maid, it is really a crime that the princess of labor came to see the slave and maid in person." "Said so, but smiled so much that he couldn't see his eyes, the princess personally came to visit him in the next room, what a big face, it was worth this beating!

Mingzhu also smiled: "I heard that you were beaten with twenty canes, and I am still worried about you, I am relieved to see you jumping around like this." ”

Wei Tiande's eyebrows fluttered: "Your Highness has a number in her heart, but the queen said that she was sick, and she had to have an explanation, the slave and maid were not wronged, and they were willing." ”

Mingzhu sighed: "You are really open-minded, and I am not afraid that His Highness will blame you for soiling the song and taking your life in a fit of anger." "Yu Wenchu attaches great importance to these things, she knows it.

Wei Tiande said excitedly: "The princess doesn't know, doesn't the slave and maid know?" The really important ones have long been put away, and they are all trivial troubles, and His Highness can't wait to burn them all. Don't feel sorry for the slaves and maids, Your Highness is sending the slaves and maids back to avoid the limelight. ”

Mingzhu didn't taste when she heard this: "Could it be ......?"

Wei Tiande was a little embarrassed: "The slave maid received the message from Sister Dong Hui, and made up her mind to make this evil breath for the princess, but His Royal Highness watched and listened to all directions, and before the slave and maid went back, he asked if there was anything important about the princess." The slave didn't dare to hide it, so she told His Highness. His Highness didn't squeak, that was a tacit approval. Otherwise, how dare the slave and maid make such a big move? ”
