Bu Yao waited strangely, turned around and shouted to the painting boat: "Your Majesty, can the minister go and have a look?" ”

Emperor Mingxuan frowned, but Duguchen on the side also nodded and said, "Yes, let's go and have a look." ”

Although Gu Liangyue is very strong, it is true that she is injured now, and she is just a palace maid, and she really can't please her in this huge palace. In addition, as soon as the new emperor ascended the throne, she was on the cusp of the storm, and I don't know how many pairs of eyes were watching.

"That's it." Xuanyuan Zili finally got up, waved his sleeves and went ashore with Duguchen, and said as he walked: "Go back to Qianyuan Palace to have a look." ”

It's really a toss-up. Emperor Mingxuan quickened his pace, and he didn't take advantage of the soft chariot, and walked directly to Qianyuan Palace. Gu Liangyue's broken body, it is impossible for the peony to really be able to do it. If it's really punished, who will compete with Bu Yao? Maybe he blames him for not doing a good job.

The group of three quickly returned to Qianyuan Palace. It was late, and it was quiet everywhere, except for the maid who was cleaning up the weeds in the flower beds. Emperor Mingxuan came in for a long time, but he didn't see the shadow of the peony.

"Where's Aunt Peony?" Duguchen asked the palace maid.

"Auntie is in the wing room of the side hall." The maid replied respectfully.

Emperor Mingxuan paused, and walked towards the side hall. Bu Yao followed behind and muttered, "It's clearly here, why don't you keep the contract?" It's weird. ”

As soon as he approached the wing room of the side hall, Duguchen frowned. It smelled so strong, as soon as he smelled it, he knew that it was the medicine he prescribed to Gu Liangyue. What's the matter, did the injury recur?

Pushing open the door, what caught my eye was the medicine cup on the wooden table, and further inside, I saw Aunt Peony sitting on the edge of the bed, quietly looking at the woman on the bed.

"Peony." Emperor Mingxuan called in a deep voice, and Aunt Peony immediately came back to her senses, looked up and saw this scene, a trace of unknown light crossed her eyes, and she got up and saluted: "The slave and maid see the emperor, Lord Dugu, and Lord Bu." ”

"What's going on?" Xuanyuanzi walked a few steps closer, and saw Gu Liangyue sleeping quietly on the bed. The clothes on his body seem to have been changed, and his face is still miserable and white. The lips have been discolored for a long time, and they seem to have a weak taste.

It's been a long time since he's looked at her so closely.

Peony Yao saluted and said lightly: "Didn't the emperor say that Liang Yue forgot his identity and should be punished?" ”

Xuanyuan Zi was stunned for a moment, and then asked calmly: "So, what did you punish her?" ”

Bu Yao hurriedly spoke on the side: "Aunt Peony, you know that the emperor didn't mean this, why did you really punish him?" Gu Liangyue's weak body can still withstand a few punishments?! ”

"I can't stand it." Peony's voice suddenly became cold, her lowered head never raised, but her body stiffened and said: "The slave and maid are just acting on orders, the emperor said that if you make a mistake, you will be punished, if you are partial, don't blame you for being ruthless." The slave felt sorry for Liangyue, so she just obeyed the order. ”

Emperor Mingxuan looked at the peony coldly, and said in a deep voice, "Are you dissatisfied with my disposal method?" ”

"Yes."

"Aunt Peony!"

"Peony!"

As the word "yes" came out, Duguchen and Bu Yao couldn't help but shout. This is also too bold, confronting the emperor in person. Although Aunt Peony is an elder, although there are no outsiders here, it is the first time they have seen such a peony. You must know that peony has always been based on Xuanyuan's separation, such dissatisfaction...

Peony finally raised her head, looked at the emperor's gloomy face, and slowly spoke: "Your Majesty, do you remember what the slave maid said to you when you were fifteen years old?" ”

Xuanyuan was stunned, and then fell silent.

At the age of fifteen, it happened to be the time when he was crowned king and left his mother.

At that time, the mother concubine hugged him and cried and laughed, and when he left the palace, the mother asked him: "Li'er, leave the mother concubine, but you have to get used to it." ”

He replied lightly: "Mother, the son is older, and he is no longer a child who clings to his mother." ”

Then he rode on his horse and went to his palace without looking back.

Along the way, he didn't say a word, and Aunt Peony beside him was also silent all the way. Until he entered the palace, he was about to go to the courtyard to practice his sword, when he heard Aunt Peony's calm words:

"Lord Wang, the slave hopes that you will at least not deceive yourself in the future, let alone hurt others with words against your will."

Against your will? Yes, at that time, he also wanted to salute his mother, and wanted to say that the mother took care. But in the end, it came out of his mouth that was just one sentence. Because he is the first prince of the Apocalypse, the prince who was crowned king earlier than the eldest brother and the third brother. No matter how many people watched, he couldn't have too many ties.

And now...

"I don't think I've deceived myself." Xuanyuan Zili looked at the peony and said lightly: "Aunt wants to say that what I said today is against my heart. But as an emperor, I don't think there's anything wrong with what I'm doing today. ”

Taking into account the overall situation and not tying yourself with the love of your children, this is the emperor.

Peony smiled lightly and said, "The emperor did a good job today, all the slave wanted to say was that the wound on Liangyue's shoulder was cracked now, causing a high fever, and now it is slightly better." It also achieved the punishment that the emperor wanted. But, Your Majesty. What's the point of going against your heart if you always bring harm to others? ”

"I didn't go against my will." Emperor Mingxuan sank his color.

"Are you saying that you didn't take Liangyue to heart for half a minute?" Peony straightened up and looked earnestly into the emperor's eyes.
