Zhao Hai asked, "Who is this Cao Jingchun?" ”

Wu Chuxiong said: "Your Majesty, this Cao Jingchun is a son of a poor family, and he has never been an official in the last three generations of his family, and he is a scholar. ”

"He understands the academics of Confucianism, Legalism, Moism, and Yin-Yang Schools, and is very knowledgeable, rich in learning, and has written a lot.

"And this person is first-class in terms of personality and ability, and after his friends, teachers, and people near his home have come into contact with him, there is no one who does not praise him for being wise."

"Even Lord Lu Boyang, the patriarch of the Three Dynasties, was full of praise for Cao Jingchun and called him a sage."

Zhao Hai raised his eyebrows, Cao Jingchun could actually get such a high evaluation from Lu Boyang, an old man? Zhao Hai felt a little incredible for a while.

Zhao Hai said: "Yes, after you go down, pay more attention to his movements and thoughts, and then secretly investigate his past affairs." ”

"If there is indeed nothing wrong with him, you can see me again."

"No." Wu Chuxiong withdrew from the Chengming Palace.

Zhao Hai continued to quietly review the recital.

It didn't take long for Li Angelica's voice to sound outside.

"Your Majesty, the concubine asked someone to see her, saying that she had something to tell Your Majesty."

Zhao Hai raised his eyebrows and asked, "Which concubine?" ”

"Concubine Yu."

Zhao Hai's face immediately sank, and he was beaten into the cold palace and waited for the autumn queen to be beheaded.

What else could this woman say to herself?

Zhao Hai was a little surprised, but after immediately tidying up, he drove to the cold palace.

A desolate and desolate little house built in the middle of nowhere, with little structure around it except for a pile of weeds and a few broken stones.

The small house was bare, in the middle, surrounded by countless patrolling Forbidden Army with serious expressions.

They patrol and monitor the place day and night, not sparing a single fly or mosquito that dares to come to the temptation or want to enter.

When Zhao Hai came to the door, he saw Liu Yu'er, who was dressed in a plain dress, and said to Zhao Hai: "The concubine meets Your Majesty." ”

Her demeanor is still as standard, elegant, and amorous as in the past, but Zhao Hai is no longer interested.

Zhao Hai said: "You have something to say." ”

"Your Majesty, I wonder if Your Majesty can go to the small room of the concubine and sit down?" Liu Yuer said.

Zhao Hai refused: "If there is something to say here, there are people around me, there is nothing to avoid." ”

"If you don't confess your sins, then you still don't have to open your mouth."

Concubine Yue Liu Yuer just wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Zhao Hai repeatedly.

Liu Yu'er's expression froze, and two lines of tears crossed her face and said: "Your Majesty, the concubine entered the palace at the age of sixteen, and has been diligently accompanying Your Majesty for so many years now, doesn't Your Majesty miss the kindness between husband and wife at all, and must put the concubine in this lonely and cold place until death?" ”

"If Your Majesty really doesn't like concubines anymore, then what's the point of concubines living?"

Zhao Hai waved his robe, hunted in the wind, and said: "Husband and wife, you are also worthy of mentioning the four words of husband and wife love?" ”

"Your cousin Liu Lingzhi, you should know it, don't tell me that you don't know."

Liu Yuer, who was told by Zhao Hai that it was the key, was immediately stunned and speechless. The moment she was arrested, she knew that Liu Lingzhi's matter was about to be revealed.

I knew that I would have killed that hateful. Liu Yuer said secretly in her heart.

However, on the surface, Liu Yu'er remained silent and explained to Zhao Hai: "Your Majesty, you have misunderstood your concubine. ”

"Lingzhi is indeed the cousin of the concubine, and she is not only the cousin of the concubine, but also the personal maid of the concubine. On weekdays, when His Majesty comes, the concubines sometimes feel sick from time to time, and they are afraid that they will not be able to make His Majesty happy, so they let the cousin of the concubines serve His Majesty. ”

Zhao Hai sneered and said: "Your reason for finding this is really good, black can be said to be white." ”

"It's a pity that you said so much with a sharp mouth, but I didn't believe half of it."

"Why you're here, I think you know better than I do. If you're just here to tell me to talk this nonsense, then I'm not going to be with you. ”

"The things on my body are far more important than yours."

After Zhao Hai finished speaking, he was about to brush his sleeves and leave.

Concubine Yue has been pampered for so many years, when has she ever suffered such treatment?

She never thought that Zhao Hai seemed to be a different person, and his enthusiasm for her had changed from the past, and he was as cold as a piece of ice.

A great unwillingness rose in her heart.

She felt that she had paid so much to enter the palace, and in the end, she had been in the palace for so many years, step by step, and had planned the layout for so long.

As a result, in the end, he was beaten into the cold palace, and he couldn't even see his father.

And Concubine Lan, the cheap woman, is now sitting high in Diaoyutai, and she is still a high concubine.

How could Concubine Yue endure it?

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty listens to your concubine." Concubine Yue came up and grabbed the corner of Zhao Hai's clothes.

"Your Majesty, no matter what Your Majesty thinks of the concubines in your heart, it will not prevent the concubines from being sincere to Your Majesty."

"Your Majesty hates concubines so much now, if you find out that your concubines have been wronged by Your Majesty in the future, won't Your Majesty regret it?"

Zhao Hai said: "Are you threatening me now? ”

Concubine Yue suddenly put away her crying and pitiful look.

She said calmly: "Your Majesty, since ancient times, the two places of the court and the harem have always been turbulent and treacherous, and there are constant struggles. ”

"Your Majesty thinks that if the minister's Liu family falls, then Concubine Yue's royal family can be relied on?"

Zhao Hai frowned and said angrily: "Concubine Yue, now you want to lead the water to the east and lead the moldy head to Concubine Lan's head?" Isn't it? ”

Concubine Yue said calmly: "Your Majesty, your words are contrary to your ears. The concubine is just telling the truth. The concubine knew that His Majesty didn't like the concubine's father, who had too much power and too much power, and too many protégés. But Your Majesty thinks about it, it is only with the assistance of the concubine's father for so many years that His Majesty has managed Daqin in an orderly manner, and the country and the people are safe. ”

"Your Majesty, think about it, if the concubine's father really falls, how many years of turmoil will Great Qin fall into?"

"Or, if the Liu family where the concubine is located falls, will there be the next Wang family? The Ma family? The Chen family, like us, continues to threaten His Majesty's rule? ”

Zhao Hai rescued Concubine Yue's neck and said, "Liu Yu'er! Hello, a sharp mouth! ”

"What you said is a lot of mouthful, but you have no choice but to deceive a three-year-old child, but it is useless to come to me!"
