Empress Chu

Xiao Xun didn't speak.

The silence inside was suffocating.

Xiao Xun suddenly smiled: "I shouldn't ask you, you were arrested together with me, and sent to the capital together, you don't know anything about my father, and you can't go back." He stood Get up, walk to Ning Kun, and pat Ning Kun's arm lightly, "Uncle Kun, you are also dragged down by me. If you want to stay with me in this capital in the future, you will be full of talent and learning, and the sky will be dark."

Ning Kun hurriedly said: "My son, don't say that—"

Xiao Xun interrupted him and nodded: "No more, no matter what, I will write a letter to ask my father to take you back. It is enough to imprison me in the capital—Uncle Kun, I am going to help Tie Ying boil water. "Said with a smile, "Actually, I am also very good at taking care of myself."

After all, the young man strode out.

Standing in the hall, Ning Kun's expression changed, and he lowered his eyes and sighed softly.

……

……

In the dark night, the emperor's bedroom was brightly lit, and the eunuchs and maids walked briskly, with smiles on their faces.

The emperor came back. Although he was a child, everyone felt at ease.

"Your Majesty has won a big victory, and it stands to reason that a banquet should be held."

"Bian County is still fighting."

"And the adults in the court don't look happy."

It seems that because of King Zhongshan's confession and reward, when sending His Majesty into the inner palace, several officials almost fought. Fortunately, the people in the deep city of the imperial city did not see it.

The people are relieved only to see that there will be no more wars, but in fact the matter is not over at all.

and--

"Your Majesty is back, but the Queen hasn't come back yet."

In fact, everyone didn't have any feelings for the queen at first. After all, they had only been in the palace for a short time, and they left the imperial city soon, but they didn't expect the queen to leave the imperial city. They became more and more familiar with her, missed her, and looked forward to her.

"Yes, when will the Queen come back? King Zhongshan wants her to deal with the aftermath."

"Maybe the Queen will go to Border County—maybe she won't come back until Xiliang is pacified."

"How long will it take, a year or two?"

When the maid's whispering came to this point, there was the sound of teacups breaking in the hall, and there was a moment of silence inside and outside the bedroom, and then the palace maids and servants rushed in one after another.

"His Majesty--"

In the dormitory, Xiao Yu, who was wearing an underwear with loose hair after washing, stood in front of the table, with a teacup on the ground.

"Your Majesty." Eunuch Qi rushed over first.

He went inside to arrange the emperor's clothes.

Xiao Yu looked at the water stains on his cuff: "I wanted to drink water, but I didn't hold it properly."

The maids in the court immediately knelt down and pleaded guilty.

"I don't blame you." Xiao Yu said, "It's because I rest and don't let anyone be around."

Eunuch Qi waved to everyone, and all the maids in the palace retreated, Eunuch Qi poured tea for Xiao Yu again and offered it to him.

Xiao Yu took a sip slowly.

"Your Majesty, it's been a few days of exhaustion, please rest earlier." Eunuch Qi advised softly.

Xiao Yu nodded, but stood still.

"Your Majesty—" Eunuch Qi said again.

"I know!" Xiao Yu raised his voice and interrupted him.

Eunuch Qi was startled, this was the first time Xiao Yu was impatient with him, he quickly bent down and knelt down: "Your servant is guilty."

It was a little quiet in the hall.

It seems like a long time, and it seems like just a blink of an eye.

"Eunuch Qi, get up quickly." The child's voice said, and at the same time, a hand reached out to hold Eunuch Qi's sleeve, "I know it's time to rest, and I'm really tired, but I miss sister Chu very much, so I just I want to write a letter."

Eunuch Qi raised his head to look at Xiao Yu, and said softly, "Sister Chu will be back soon, don't worry, Your Majesty."

Xiao Yu looked at him and nodded: "So I won't write anymore, I'm going to sleep now."

"Your Majesty, sleep well and recharge your spirits. When the Queen comes back and sees that Your Majesty has grown taller, she must be shocked." Eunuch Qi gestured.

Children do grow fast, and Xiao Yu, who is one year older, has also grown a little taller.

A smile appeared on Xiao Yu's face.

Eunuch Qi took his hand and got up, and went inward: "Your Majesty, the queen hasn't come back yet, and Lord Xie hasn't returned after the aftermath. The old slave will light up all the lights and accompany Your Majesty to sleep?"

Xiao Yu shook his head: "I have been on the battlefield, I am not afraid of anything now, turn off the lights."

Eunuch Qi responded, and accompanied Xiao Yu into the dormitory, thought over and over again, put the bamboo tube beside Xiao Yu, and then put down the curtain.

"Your Majesty, the old servant has really turned off the lights." He asked again.

The child inside hummed.

"Your Majesty." Eunuch Qi said again, "The old slave is by my side, you can call the old slave if you need anything."

The child inside hummed again, and smiled: "Eunuch Qi, don't worry, I'm fine."

Eunuch Qi said with a smile: "The old slave is talking too much." After saying that, he saluted and left.

The lights in the hall went out one by one.

Standing outside the palace, Eunuch Qi breathed lightly into the dark night.

"Your Majesty made a personal conquest, and he really became more courageous." A young eunuch beside him said happily.

Eunuch Qi ignored him and looked at the palace shrouded in darkness.

Is it good or bad to be bold?

……

……

For Chu Zhao of Zhongshan County, the bustle of the emperor's class returning to the court and the dispute over King Zhongshan in the court had already settled down.

King Zhongshan picked up a king's seal from the table and looked at it.

Chu Zhao held half a token. This was the [-] soldiers and horses that King Zhongshan handed over—it was also the [-] soldiers and horses that King Zhongshan showed in front of the people. As for the remaining [-] soldiers and horses, the court should not see it .

"But Taifu believes that the prince will know how to advance and retreat." The official from the court who came to announce the decree said coldly.

King Zhongshan looked at him and smiled: "Did Master Huang explain the funeral to the family before he came?"

This is talking about the three decree officials who were hacked to death by the prince of Zhongshan.

Threat?

Master Huang's face was heavy: "Thank you, my lord, for your concern, I have already explained it."

King Zhongshan laughed: "Don't be nervous, I won't cut off your head." After speaking, he smiled and looked at Chu Zhao who was sitting beside him, "After all, the queen is here."

Chu Zhao smiled and put away the token.

"Yes." She said, "Before Master Huang left, I was sitting in the palace to guard the prince."

Although I was a little dissatisfied with this Empress of Chu, I personally walked into the Zhongshan Prince's Mansion, to be more precise, walked into Zhongshan County, and saw the soldiers and guards everywhere, and the confrontation with swords and swords. People in the towns and villages along the way were panicked, which was different from sitting in the court hall of the capital. , although sitting in the court hall is also nervous, but it is completely different from walking into it in person.

This kind of tension is suffocating, people are overwhelmed, and it is maddening.

But this girl sat here for a long time, alone.

Lord Huang looked at Chu Zhao, and bowed to salute, "In addition to announcing the decree, I also want to take my mother back to the palace, so I won't leave first."

In fact, the imperial court did not require such a request, and he added it himself to take the empress back to the palace.

Chu Zhao smiled and said, "Master Huang has to wait a little longer, and I have to wait for news from Bianjun."

Master Huang responded yes.

King Zhongshan knocked on the table: "You monarchs and ministers should stop discussing state affairs with this king. Let's go, let's go."

……

……

The gate closed slowly, and Chu Zhao, who had stepped over the threshold, did not move forward, but stood still and took a deep breath first.

"Leaving the territory of King Zhongshan, the breath is fresh." She sighed.

Master Huang said from the side: "Your Majesty, you should be called the King of the Town now, and the county is still his territory."

Chu Zhao couldn't help laughing. He didn't expect Deng Yi to confer the title of Zhongshan King, creating a town king. Did many people think that Zhongshan King gave Deng Yi another great gift?

She looked around, surrounded by soldiers and horses with bad attitudes, King Zhongshan just took a step back, this step was a step back from outside the capital, Zhongshan County was still King Zhongshan's territory.

And it was hidden before, but now there is no need to hide it.

Chu Zhao looked at the drawn horses and said, "I will go outside the city first to see the general."

Mr. Huang saluted: "I went to the government office to check the affairs of the county."

"Sledgehammer." Chu Zhao called out.

Ding Dachui stepped forward and answered yes.

"This is the most effective guard to go through mountains of swords and seas of fire together with Ben Gong." Chu Zhao said, "Now let Master Huang use it."

Master Huang saluted again: "Thank you for your kindness, I will not disgrace your life as an official." After saying that, he turned and left.

Ding Dachui didn't react for a while and stood still, but was pushed by A Le: "Are you dizzy? Go quickly."

Ding Dachui was a little dizzy, what did the queen say about him just now?The most powerful guard!

However, dizzy to dizzy, there is one thing he still remembers.

"Captain Xie and the boss let me guard the queen—" he couldn't help but whisper.

Chu Zhao heard it, and smiled: "Don't worry, I'll go see your boss right now, and I'll tell her for you, as for Captain Xie——."

Chu Zhao winked at him.

"He doesn't know how far away."

Chapter 1 Relative

Quiet was restored outside the Zhongshan Prince's Mansion.

The hall is quieter.

King Zhongshan still sat on the chair and looked around the hall.

"I'm not used to the empress walking away, and I feel that something is missing." He said, smiling, with a cold look in his eyes, "Next time, it will not be so easy for the empress to walk away from me."

The generals in the hall took a step forward and saluted: "My lord, calm down."

Although asking the prince to appease his anger, each of them couldn't hide their grief and anger.

It was all because of this queen that she fell short.

King Zhongshan laughed: "I'm not angry." Looking at everyone, he asked, "Is Ah Xun okay?"

A general hurriedly said: "After entering Beijing, the son will live in the post. With the prince here, the court dare not treat the prince harshly." He also said, "Don't worry, the prince, we will rebuild our manpower soon to take care of the prince."

King Zhongshan nodded and sighed again: "This time he must be very angry."

The generals said: "For the sake of the prince, the prince can only do this. The prince must understand your painstaking efforts."

King Zhongshan nodded while leaning on his cane, "Ah Xun is an obedient child."

The Son was born of the Father, and the Son must be born of the Father.

……

……

There were many soldiers and horses outside Zhongshan County. When they saw Chu Zhao, the soldiers burst into shouts.

"Queen!"

"Queen!"
