Chapter 16

What are you talking about?What can I say if I didn't come out of a mother's womb?Aunt Guiyun smiled and said, "The Empress Dowager has specially prepared cakes that Her Majesty likes to eat, and now Her Majesty is waiting for His Majesty to come down."

Xunzhui asked Wang Gonggong to send Guiyun away, Guiyun obviously didn't intend to go back like this, she stood outside the hall and waited.Wang Gonggong took out a set of cloud-colored clothes and changed them for Xun Zhui, nagging at the same time: "If the Queen Mother makes Your Majesty unhappy, Your Majesty, move your little finger, and this old slave will immediately find a way to lead you out."

The empress dowager, who sat firmly in the harem, was dissatisfied with the favor of the imperial concubine when she was an empress. The imperial concubine seldom went out of the palace, and it was not easy for her to find trouble.The queen clan of the previous dynasty was indeed a little powerful, but after Xun Zhui ascended the throne, they were all cleaned up by Yan Zhaohe.Xunzhui has never heard of any quarrel between the Yan family and the queen's family, and said that it was for Xunzhui to secure the throne, but Xunzhui always felt that there were other reasons.

What Wang Gonggong said was not happy, that is to say, in the past two years, the queen mother has been urging to fill the vacancy in the harem.Originally, Yan Zhaohe also had an attitude of not being in a hurry, but gradually he also hoped that His Majesty would accept a few concubines.

Xun Zhui sat with the queen mother, and the queen mother sang the big show alone, and he didn't answer at all.Except for being forced to speak a few words in front of Yan Zhaohe, he annoyed everyone who wanted to argue with him.

Aunt Guiyun led Xun to Shoukang Palace, "Your Majesty, wait a moment, slaves go..."

Xun Zhui frowned, and Eunuch Wang immediately stepped forward and pulled Gui Yun aside to teach him a lesson.

"Your Majesty still needs to send a message to see the Empress Dowager? Go down and do your business!"

Gui Yun is an old man next to the Empress Dowager. She has more seniority than many people in the palace. She is praised by everyone on weekdays, and she is also a confidant of the Empress Dowager.

In just a few months, she was going to ride on him arrogantly!

A smiling woman's voice came from the hall: "Is it Xun'er?"

Wang Gonggong caught Gui Yun and taught him a lesson, the little eunuch behind him came up and lifted the curtain, and chased him into the hall.Aunt Guiyun's rudeness didn't matter to him, the prince usually took care of these things.

The Empress Dowager advocates frugality, and there are no extra decorations in the palace. King Chong sits next to the Empress Dowager, and the mother and son have a harmonious atmosphere.Xun Zhui is like an intruder from outside, when he enters the territory of these two people, he can immediately feel the smile in Li Chong's eyes, and the Empress Dowager said: "Xun'er, come quickly, let the Ai family see you."

Xun Zhui lowered his eyes and walked in front of the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager took him by the hand and immediately led him to her face: "Your child has been ill recently, the Ai family is afraid that your poor health will make you sick, how is your health now? She is thin, and the people around her don't know how to take care of her carefully."

The Empress Dowager was also a beauty when she was young, but she is still beautiful in her bones.Xunzhui looked at the finger on the queen mother's thumb, the finger was the only relic left to the queen mother by the late emperor before his death.Most of the women in the harem didn't have half sincerity towards the emperor, and those who had sincerity would end badly.The queen mother was sincere to the first emperor, but in the end it was the imperial concubine who didn't even like her own flesh and blood who died with the first emperor.

Li Chong joked: "The queen mother is indeed more partial to your majesty, but the sons have not come to the queen mother for a long time."

Xun Zhui withdrew his hand without leaving a trace, took a step back and sat on the chair.

The Queen Mother sighed rather sadly: "Don't worry, even your younger brother doesn't have a pillow to serve him."

Xun Zhui picked up the teacup and took a sip slowly, looking down at the floating petals in the teacup.He drank a petal, and it tasted like a fishy smell mixed with earth.

taste not good!

Xun Zhui spit out the petals back into the teacup, the Empress Dowager saw that Xun Zhui was not used to drinking and waved for other tea.Xun Zhui clenched his fist and put it on his lips to cough a few times, and raised his eyes to meet the Queen Mother's eyes.

"I haven't seen King Zhao today. Your Majesty has always been close to King Zhao. What's going on at King Zhao's house?" Li Chong asked.

Knowing that Xunzhui would not speak, Li Chong's question made Xunzhui angry for no reason.The young man straightened his sleeves slowly, as if nothing to do with you.

If something happened to Yan Zhaohe, I am afraid that Li Chong would not still be able to sit comfortably in the Shoukang Palace and share the love between mother and child with the Queen Mother.King Zhao didn't come to court today, probably because he was tired after returning from Lingshu Temple.When Xun Zhui thought of how Yan Zhaohe was sleeping soundly when he first arrived at Lingshu Temple, he couldn't help guessing that Yan Zhaohe didn't go to Lingshu Temple on a whim, maybe he was really planning to live there for a few days to rest, but the plan couldn't keep up with the changes, and many The incident still dragged him from Lingshu Temple into chaos and there was no time to get out.

Well, let him rest for a few more days.

Wang Gonggong seemed to have taught Aunt Guiyun a lesson, and was sweating profusely when he came in from the door, "Your Majesty, Commander Chu is waiting in the study."

Xun Zhui got up and put the prepared paper on the table beside the queen mother, with four words written on it - my son and minister leave.

The queen mother said distressedly: "The emperor is busy with government affairs, so he must take good care of himself."

Xun Zhui took the paper back, squeezed it into a small ball and threw it to Wang Gonggong, Wang Gonggong caught it, and took two steps back to the right to make way.Xun chased out of the gate of the Palace of Compassion and Ning and looked back at the glazed tiles of the Palace of Compassion and Ning for a second. It was dazzling under the sun, no matter how you looked at it, it was an eyesore.

The Empress Dowager's attitude today is strange, and even King Chong is inexplicably easy to talk about.

The prince tore up the ball of paper in his hand, held it in his hand and returned to the palace for a while before burning it.Xun Zhui never left his handwriting on the outside, his handwriting can only be called correct, anyone can imitate it in a few days and it will be perfect.

Yan Zhaohe's handwriting is hard to imitate, his writing is like flowing water, even if he hesitates a bit, he can't be called similar.

Chu Yang didn't come back so soon. The prince used to like to use the commander of Chu as a cover, and he himself knew the cover.After returning to the palace, Xun Zhui found a large basket of apricots from the small kitchen, and the prince washed some for Xun Zhui to eat.

Xun Zhui cut open the apricots with a small knife and removed the core.I also forgot which summer, he ate apricots and got worms, the white worms were big and fat, and when he bit into it, he saw the tail but not the head.He was nauseated for more than half a month, he couldn't even eat, and since then he has been overly vigilant about such fruits.

The prince collected all the fruit pits, "Your Majesty, these fruit pits should be dried a little bit, and this old slave will give you some almonds to eat."

Xun Zhui nodded, went to the study to find a piece of clean paper and spread it in the courtyard, the master and servant washed the apricot pits and placed them neatly on the paper one by one.

If the little emperor is extravagant, he is really extravagant, but if he is frugal, he is really frugal.

Chu Yang only came in the afternoon, and Xun Zhui had just had his afternoon tea.Chu Yang said: "Your Majesty is ready to leave now that I have made all the preparations."

Before leaving, Xunzhui asked the prince to pack some apricots to eat on the way, and also gave Chu Yang a box of unwashed ones. Xunzhui wrote: "The apricots are not durable after washing, wash as much as you eat."

Chu Yang held a box of apricots for a long time before realizing that the little emperor had taken the wrong medicine today, Xun Zhui put the cleaned apricots in Chu Yang's hands, and continued to write: "Sweet."

The commander-in-chief of Chu was overwhelmed by the flattery. He had never seen the little emperor so considerate after being on duty for so long. He quickly took a bite to show that it was really delicious.

Looking at Chu Yang's expression, the little emperor concluded that the apricots were indeed delicious, so he patted Chu Yang on the shoulder and set off.

The morgue was in the south of the city, and Chu Yang was driving, but Xun chased without letting the waiters follow.The morgue was cold, so the prince found a slightly thicker cloak before leaving.Among all the clothes Xunzhui has, the cloak is the most, and he always puts it on for a while every day in spring, summer, autumn and winter.He sat crookedly in the car with his cloak in his arms, and Chu Yang raised the curtain from time to time to see what Xunchai was doing.

As a general, he doesn't know how to take care of others, but fortunately, the little emperor is not feeling any discomfort due to his daily frailty.

The carriage was running fast, and he was about to spit out after being jolted. He was gripping the window frame tightly, his fingertips turned white from exertion, and his head was sweating profusely. Beads of sweat flowed down his forehead and dripped from his chin. fall.

Xun Zhui adjusted his posture with difficulty and changed to lying down, scolding Chu Yang as a martial artist countless times in his heart.Every time I poked my head in to check, I always lowered the curtain with an expression of peace of mind that Your Majesty is fine.When begging for mercy, he pretended to be better than anyone else, and he was excellent at observing words and expressions, but now he seems blind.

Speeding all the way, Xun Zhui lost most of his life. He covered his face with a cloak and the big hat of the cloak. When he got off the carriage, his feet gave way and almost fell.

Chu Yang supported Xun Zhui, "Be careful, Your Majesty!"

After Xun Zhui kept his feet on the ground, he quickly shook off Chu Yang's hand, Chu Yang's heart tightened, why did he get angry again?

Xun Zhui took advantage of Chu Yang's nervousness and grabbed Chu Yang's wrist again, and stuffed the paper into Chu Yang's hand.

"Go to the morgue."

"Your Majesty, why don't you rest for a while, and I will ask you to carry out the corpses."

Xun Zhui shook his head, Chu Yang paused for a moment and said: "I understand, the morgue is dark, if your majesty can't bear it, I will bring you out immediately."

The Wu Zuo here didn't know Chu Yang, and Chu Yang was holding the waist card of the minister of punishment, Xun Zhui was quite surprised when he took out the waist card.Chu Yang explained: "It's so inconvenient to come here, he specially asked the minister to find the servant of the Ministry of Punishment."

It was self-evident who he was referring to, Chu Yang was able to enter and leave Prince Zhao's mansion in just one or two hours, and he was indeed King Zhao's right-hand man.

The morgue is built underground so that the corpses can be preserved at low temperatures.As soon as Xun Zhui walked to the door, he smelled a strong rancid smell, and he gently covered his nose with his sleeve.Wu Zuo opened the door, Wu Zuo went down first to lead the way, Xun chased after the second, and Chu Yang followed at the end.

Wu Zuo introduced: "The body is at No. [-]."

"Is there any new progress?" Chu Yang asked.

As if to completely isolate the hot air from the outside world, the tunnel was built extraordinarily long, extending slowly into the ground on a slope.Xun Zhui could feel that they were getting farther and farther away from the ground, and Wu Zuo's torch could only illuminate their circle, and the rest was so dark that they couldn't see clearly.

The key pinned to Wu Zuo's waist made a crisp collision, and it was a bit creepy to zoom in infinitely in the dark.

"Going back to my lord, I didn't find any other clues. The damage to the face is too serious. Most of the people in that kind of place are bought on the black market. It is almost impossible to find out who it is." Wu Zuo added later. The previous sentence, "My lord, this is it."

Xunzui stopped, and Wuzuo found the key corresponding to the wooden sign of "Three Seven One", unlocked the door and pushed the door, please go in first, Xunzui stretched out his hand and asked Wuzuo to go first.

He has come into contact with many corpses, and he has long been immune to them. He went in and lit the candles hanging on the wall. He was fully prepared for the chase on the way, but when he saw the corpse lying on the cold wooden board, he was still Take a deep breath.

The bones were not completely boned, and many rotting skins were still tightly attached to the bones.The long hair of one of the heads hangs down naturally along the board like algae, and the empty eye sockets are facing the direction of Xun Chasing.Xun Zhui was inexplicably terrified, he took a step back, then another step, and bumped into Chu Yang's chest.

Chu Yang said in a low voice: "The minister takes..."

"No need." The boy's clear and hoarse voice echoed in the morgue.

Xun Zhui didn't surprise Chu Yang when he heard his voice for the first time, he immediately asked, "Where is the body of Le prostitute?"

Wu Zuo pointed to the corner.

"Take it out."
