"Obviously, he was trying to cover up and said that on purpose."
"If Zhao Tuo knew about the existence of the prince at all, then why did he cover up like this?"
The candlelight was flickering, Qin Yuanxi propped his chin and frowned slightly, he hadn't thought about it in the first place, if Zhao Tuo didn't recognize the existence of Prince Lu, then he wouldn't admit it, Qin Yuanxi didn't think it was a big deal, but just Letting Yan Shaoning say this, it seemed like a big deal in an instant.
Is Zhao Tuo lying to him?
This idea hovered in Qin Yuanxi's mind. If Zhao Tuo really lied to him, then Qin Yuanxi didn't know what to do. This matter is a bit complicated, but he still prefers Zhao Tuo to have his unspeakable secrets , Qin Yuanxi convinced himself, even if Zhao Tuo knew about Lu Bohuan's existence, so what?
Zhao Tuo didn't recognize Lu Bohuan from the very beginning, and it's normal that he didn't want to face such an identity. After all, he regarded Lu Bohuan as a traitor and a traitor, and claimed that he was a loyal minister. Lu Bohuan's identity is also justifiable.
Besides, he is a mentally ill patient, even if he really concealed it on purpose, it is also for the sake of him as a patient, at least give him a chance to explain, right?
After all, I finally convinced myself, but I still feel uncomfortable in my heart.
He has been with Zhao Tuo for such a long time, which can be regarded as a heart-to-heart. He has never been so close to Lu Bohuan, but Lu Bohuan, who is not so close, has not kept anything from him. Of course, there is this premise that Lu Bohuan It may not be possible to hide it, but at least Lu Bohuan didn't lie to him, so why did Zhao Tuo do it?
After all, Qin Yuanxi was still a little uncomfortable.
"Your Majesty, it's getting late, and it's time for Your Majesty to rest."
"Go to Yuehua Palace."
Qin Yuanxi stood up with a straight face.
He promised that Zhao Tuo would go to Yuehua Palace to accompany him, he must go, and there is one more thing, he had to confirm, whether Zhao Tuo knew about Lu Bohuan's existence, and whether Zhao Tuo had done anything because of this. This matter was deliberately hidden from him!
Although this matter is not a big deal, the issue of attitude is more important. Those two people are dating and living together, and even gave birth to a child for him, how can they hide anything from each other?
That is absolutely not possible!
There was still a bit of unevenness on the way there, but it disappeared after arriving at the place.
As soon as he opened the door, he saw that Zhao Tuo was holding a pill and taking medicine. Just by looking at it like this, there was a morbid sense of beauty, and the anger in his heart was immediately replaced by distress, no matter what He said, he is a patient, how can he have the same knowledge as the patient, communicate with the patient if there is a problem, discuss it carefully and solve it, no matter what, there should be no conflicts.
"Your Majesty is here." Zhao Tuo put away the small porcelain bottle in his hand, and took the initiative to pull Qin Yuanxi: "I thought His Majesty would not come, so I was planning to go to find His Majesty."
"What are you running around, take a good rest." Qin Yuanxi looked at his face, everything was normal, he looked ruddy and quite healthy, completely different from Lu Bohuan who was pale and fainted before, and he felt a little at ease some.
Grabbing Zhao Tuo's wrist, he uttered a few words of concern, and was taken into bed by Zhao Tuo.
"Understood, it's getting late, Your Majesty should go to bed early, there will be an early morning tomorrow."
As soon as the early court was mentioned, Qin Yuanxi's expression changed slightly, and his fingers pinched Zhao Tuo's skirt a little tighter. Zhao Tuo was not Lu Bohuan, and he never cared much about such things as the early court, and he would not be like Lu Bohuan. He was instructed by ear to face to be a diligent emperor, and he must not be late for the morning court every day. Zhao Tuo is different. Morning court and so on are dispensable to Zhao Tuo. Sometimes Qin Yuanxi even sees getting up too hard. He will use practical actions to persuade Qin Yuanxi to directly cancel the morning court that day.
These words did not seem to come from Zhao Tuo's mouth.
After a little hesitation, Qin Yuanxi still pinched the corner of Zhao Tuo's clothes, and asked tentatively: "A Tuo, I, I have recently encountered a problem, which is related to taxation. Give me an idea, can you help me sort out my thoughts?"
"Your Majesty doesn't know, how can I understand this." With the same tone and attitude as before, the people around him took him into their arms: "If Your Majesty has any troubles about military affairs, I can help His Majesty solve them. What did His Majesty say about taxes?" , I really don’t understand, why don’t you ask the ministers of the Ministry of Household Affairs to discuss it.”
"Tell me, just tell me your thoughts, it's just that you don't know how to look at the problem from a different angle, maybe there will be some different inspirations?"
Qin Yuanxi was relentless, and pestered Zhao Tuo to have a good talk about this issue.
The problem is not a big one, it’s just a topic arranged for him by Lord Lu before, it’s a relatively good article written by Qin Yuanxi, after all, he lives in a more advanced environment, so he still has the right to speak on this kind of issue Yes, and the point of view is closer to the people's livelihood. After reading it, Prince Lu expressed his satisfaction and nodded frequently.
Now Qin Yuanxi just wanted to use this question to test Zhao Tuo. He just wanted to see what kind of answer Zhao Tuo would have for the same question.
"I feel that local taxes should be increased to increase the national treasury to make it more abundant. Only when the national treasury is sufficient will the border guards be able to pay their salaries, and they will be more courageous in fighting the enemy. Only then can the border be kept safe and the people safe. Only when you are rich can your Majesty do more meaningful things, and the foundation of all this is taxation, so tax increases are a matter of course, and it has been the case in all dynasties."
"Really?" Qin Yuanxi smiled embarrassingly: "If it is forced, wouldn't the people's life be very hard?"
"But taxation has been like this since ancient times, how can there be people who don't work hard?"
"Then I want to reform the tax system, and I don't want to make the common people so hard."
After Qin Yuanxi finished speaking, he saw Zhao Tuo frown slightly, obviously disapproving, but he forcibly held back and didn't want to show it, probably because he didn't want to make him sad. Looking at Zhao Tuo's expression, Qin Yuanxi sighed inwardly.
Prince Lu's attitude is completely different from his. Lu Bohuan has a high level of political awareness. Qin Yuanxi has some views that are actually very inappropriate in the current environment, but Lu Bohuan is different. Lu Bohuan's thinking can keep up. Then You will find that Qin Yuanxi's ideas are indeed very good.
After all, it is the result of thousands of years of practice summarizing the survival of the fittest. After experiencing various setbacks and challenges, it finally proves that it is feasible and good. In this regard, Lu Bohuan's progress is obvious, but Zhao Tuo is different. .
No matter how you look at it, Zhao Tuo is a very traditional type. He guards his loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness, and basically has no communication with Lord Lu's thoughts. It doesn't look like what Yan Shaoning said. , if he really knows, then it must be a little familiar, right?Lu Bohuan's daily behavior and style will still have a little influence.But judging from Zhao Tuo's current situation, Lu Bohuan didn't have any influence on him at all.
The first trial did not yield any results. Later, Qin Yuanxi tried Zhao Tuo from various aspects. As long as it was related to Lord Lu, he would use it to try Zhao Tuo a little bit. What Lu Bohuan likes to eat, he will wear Lu Bohuan's daily clothes for Zhao Tuo. There are even a few times when he is more daring. The behavior has always been normal, with a cold face and completely pretending that he does not exist.
It’s also strange that Lu Bohuan did a good job in the early stage. As long as Zhao Tuo puts on a strong outfit and stands there, his status as a general will not be shaken. When the ministers see him, they all call him the title of general. There is no loophole at all. As a result, Qin Yuanxi couldn't find it even if he wanted to find it, so he could only say that Lord Lu is worthy of being Lord Lu, and that he could arrange things in a seamless manner, which led to Qin Yuanxi's temptations not having any effective results.
That's how it was put on hold.
This is something that cannot be rushed, but there is one more urgent matter that needs to be decided quickly.
When Qin Yuanxi's stomach was about to be covered, he wanted to go out of the palace to raise a baby, but Lu Bohuan disagreed, so the matter was shelved.
But it's different now, Qin Yuanxi's small sign of leaving the palace has sprung out again. Lu Bohuan disagrees, but it doesn't mean that Zhao Tuo will not agree. Lord Lu shows up less now, and most of them are Zhao Tuo by his side. As long as Qin Yuanxi Discuss this matter with Zhao Tuo, and when the time comes to leave the palace, there is nothing Lu Bohuan can do even if he doesn't want to.
As for what Lu Bohuan was worried about saying that the child must be born in the palace to guarantee the bloodline, Qin Yuanxi didn't care at all. His child was born by himself, and he didn't care if other people believed it or not. It’s okay to recognize relatives. Anyway, this kind of activity that has no scientific and pure sense of ritual is very popular with everyone. It’s not always shown on TV like this. Just put some blood tests on it.
Besides, Qin Yuanxi never believed in that kind of thing. He is different now from when he first came here. After all, he has been the emperor for a few days, so he is still a little careful. This is a powerful society. And there is no DNA test. Under the power, isn't he the emperor who has the final say?Of course, the premise is that the power is in the hands of the emperor, or in the hands of the child's other father. As a father, it is impossible to demolish your child, right?
It doesn't matter where the child is born, what is important is that such a big boy will give birth to a child, and it must not be known to the world!
Therefore, if you should hide, you still have to hide, and if you want to hide, you have to do it as early as possible. It is best to take advantage of the time when Lu Bohuan is not around. As long as Zhao Tuo is persuaded to pack his luggage, he can run away immediately.
Qin Yuanxi originally thought that persuading Zhao Tuo would be difficult. After all, Lu Bohuan's opposition was relatively strong, so he also made a little preparation, trying to soften Zhao Tuo in a tactful, even coquettish way. A child is not something glorious, so it is understandable that he wants to avoid people's thoughts. As long as he is pitiful, Zhao Tuo will be in a difficult situation, and he will definitely agree to him in the end.
The result was not wrong, but Qin Yuanxi did not expect that the process would be so smooth.
It went well beyond his expectations.
Different from Lu Bohuan's strong objection, when Zhao Tuo first heard about this incident, he was only a little surprised, and he didn't feel that he had reacted too much, but it was only at that moment, before Qin Yuanxi even continued to explain his reasons. Zhao Tuo nodded in agreement. As for the coquetry and misery that Qin Yuanxi rehearsed in advance, it was useless at all.
As long as Zhao Tuo agrees, the matter will be much easier.
Happy to be happy, Qin Yuanxi is still a little bit worried.
"You really promised me to leave the palace? Really?"
Zhao Tuo looked at him and nodded with a smile: "Your Majesty can leave the palace if he wants to. As long as His Majesty is happy, as long as His Majesty is safe, it's the same anywhere."
"Then don't you worry, if the child is born outside, people will gossip about it? At that time, people will say that it is a child from outside the palace, whose identity is unknown or something."
"I'll see who dares." When Zhao Tuo said this, a coldness flashed in his eyes, as if a sharp knife was drawn out of its sheath, but it felt very different when he said it. .
Who dares, calmly with determination, as if those things have never been a problem in front of him.
"Your Majesty, do you have a good place to go?" Zhao Tuo lowered his head, stroking Qin Yuanxi's stomach, and suggested: "Now your Majesty is in a special situation, and it is not suitable to travel far. Why don't you live in the other courtyard near the palace? It's also close. What's the matter?" Things are also easy to handle, and secondly, the other courtyard is clean and no one disturbs you, so Your Majesty can wait for the delivery with peace of mind."
"Okay, another courtyard is another courtyard, you can arrange it."
As long as he can go out of the palace, it doesn't make any difference to Qin Yuanxi where he goes. The environment of the royal gardens is good, and the palace is tired, so it's not bad to go out for a stroll.
"Then when will we leave?" This is what Qin Yuanxi is more worried about next. It is not difficult to convince Zhao Tuo, but he is afraid that Lu Bohuan will come back before he leaves, and he will definitely not be able to leave by then. This situation is full of variables. , Qin Yuanxi's idea is to catch up sooner rather than later, so as not to have a chance to run away when things come to an end.
"At any time, His Majesty decides."
Anytime is really in line with Qin Yuanxi's wishes, and he made a decision as soon as he slapped his thigh: "Then tomorrow, I will ask those ministers for leave at the court tomorrow morning, and let them go to other places if they have anything to do." Find it in the courtyard, and then we'll set off."
The itinerary is confirmed, Qin Yuanxi is still a little excited: "By the way, there is also Yan Shaoning, he must not forget, you will have someone notify him in a while, and let him prepare quickly."
"Okay." Zhao Tuo stretched out his hand to hold Qin Yuanxi: "Why is Your Majesty so happy?"
"Of course I have to be happy. How can I be unhappy? I have to be happy." Qin Yuanxi was quite excited, and then Zhao Tuo asked again: "Is it because you are with me that you are happy?"
"Of course." Qin Yuanxi didn't think there was anything wrong with the question. Since Zhao Tuo asked, he answered honestly, and he didn't feel that there was anything wrong at all. If he could take a serious look at Zhao Tuo's expression, carefully Think about Zhao Tuo's tone of voice, and you will find some differences.
"I'm happy too, very happy." Zhao Tuo pulled him by the wrist, pulled him into his arms, followed by a lingering kiss, and chased after him. Qin Yuanxi's reaction during pregnancy was relatively large, and Zhao Tuo obviously He also understood this point very well, there was no need for Qin Yuanxi to express anything, and the two quickly got together in a dark and dark manner.
The final result was the morning court the next day. Not surprisingly, Qin Yuanxi did not get up again.
When squinting his eyes, he still remembered that he was going to ask for leave, but in fact, he couldn't open his eyes, and his consciousness was also confused and chaotic. Zhao Tuo put his arms around him, touched Qin Yuanxi's face, and kissed him on the lips , Whispered in Qin Yuanxi's ear: "Your Majesty will fall asleep first, and deal with me early. When His Majesty wakes up, let's go directly to the palace, okay?"
Qin Yuanxi, who was half asleep, was still in a daze, and the voice in his ear was soft enough, and he didn't know whether he understood it or not, but anyway, the voice was enough to reassure Qin Yuanxi, so he didn't even think about it. He nodded in agreement, turned over, and continued to sleep drowsily.
And Zhao Tuo beside him, seeing his sleepy appearance, got up and changed his clothes. What was different from before was that what Zhao Tuo was wearing today was not his silver silk armor but a purple gold boa robe, that is to say, he was wearing Lu Bohuan's court clothes to go It was early morning, and Qin Yuanxi, who was sleeping soundly, didn't know about all this.
When he woke up, Zhao Tuo had already returned and changed into a strong blue outfit, which was exactly the style Zhao Tuo often wore when they went out of the palace together.
"Hey, who does this handsome little brother belong to? What are you going to do? Come here and show me."
Qin Yuanxi, who was sleeping comfortably, was very interested, and he still had the heart to quarrel with Zhao Tuo. He was very skillful in molesting. He pinched Zhao Tuo's chin and kissed him. Of course, he was kissed too much.
Zhao Tuo is now more and more active, and more and more domineering and powerful. Before that, Qin Yuanxi had to take the initiative to hook him up. Later, after he tasted the sweetness, as long as Qin Yuanxi showed his intentions, Zhao Tuo would soon be able to Getting to His Majesty's thoughts is even more extreme now. Before Qin Yuanxi showed that thought, Zhao Tuo had already learned to guess what he wanted, so he was very presumptuous.
However, Qin Yuanxi likes this presumptuousness very much. In his opinion, this kind of back and forth confrontation is the normal state that should exist in the world of lovers.
"Leaving?"
"Well, Your Majesty has changed his clothes and set off after breakfast."
"Should I wear this?" Qin Yuanxi also saw the clothes hanging on the side.
Good-looking is good-looking, white and simple style, but looking at the clothes, it looks like a young man from a wealthy family. Just glanced at the waist, Qin Yuanxi was a little hesitant: "I look like this, if I wear this, I can't cover my stomach. of."
"It's okay, no one will look at it, don't worry, Your Majesty." Zhao Tuo put his arms around Qin Yuanxi's waist, and rubbed him gently: "Your Majesty must look good in this, I specially chose it for His Majesty, if you are worried that your stomach will show up , just add a cloak to block it later."
"OK then."
Qin Yuanxi was hesitant, but when he heard that Zhao Tuo personally chose the clothes for him, that little hesitation disappeared. It’s really no big deal, it’s just that he might lose his stomach, and at worst, he just blocks it. Zhao Tuo is so considerate , if he refuses, won't it be very hurtful?It's just a piece of clothing, and it's not a big deal, so Qin Yuanxi didn't pay too much attention to it.
When Qin Yuanxi saw the mighty guard of honor, he didn't react too much, and almost subconsciously grabbed Zhao Tuo's sleeve: "Why is there such a big battle? Are there so many people? We are not, I thought, "
He thought it was a private itinerary, just like the last time he and Zhao Tuo went out of the palace quietly, the two of them were similar in light clothes, how could he have thought that Zhao Tuo would arrange such a big battle, not only the guards The army, and even the Royal Forest Army from the imperial city were also transferred, and, why are there still ministers who came to see him off?
Seeing that this battle was almost the same as the last time he left the palace to worship the ancestors, Qin Yuanxi really didn't expect that this is just a private trip for him, so there is no need for such a big commotion, right?
"Your Majesty's safety must be guaranteed. Don't worry, they are all just sent to other courtyards, and they will come back later. Your Majesty will stay longer, so there will be an explanation." Zhao Tuo comforted him: "It's okay, Your Majesty. Just take the car, I will explain it clearly to them, there will be no other troubles, Your Majesty can rest assured."
"Do you still want to give it away?" Qin Yuanxi frowned, with a disapproving expression on his face: "I thought it would be fine for us to go quietly, you make such a big noise, forget it, just give it away, there is one thing You must remember for me, who gave birth to the other hospital, this news must not be revealed, do you know?"
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, it won't happen." Zhao Tuo smiled at him, with reassurance: "Don't worry, Your Majesty will never leak any news. After we arrive at the other courtyard, my people will strictly guard the surrounding area. It will not be spread, His Majesty can wait for the delivery with peace of mind, the news of the little prince will only be known to outsiders at the right time when His Majesty is willing."
"That's fine." Just as Qin Yuanxi was about to get in the car, he suddenly thought of something, turned his face and glanced, and asked, "Where is Yan Shaoning? Why didn't you see him? Where did you go?"
"Miraculous Doctor Yan said that he needs to prepare medicinal materials and other things to take to the palace. After all, it is a major event that we dare not neglect, so we need to make separate preparations. Let's go first. After Divine Doctor Yan packs up, he will come by himself."
"Then when will he come? Don't delay too long, you still count on him."
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I have arranged for the imperial physician to be casual, and they are all trusted by my own people." Zhao Tuo stroked Qin Yuanxi to sit down, and gave him a cushion to put on his waist: "Besides, the imperial physician in the palace is also experienced in this area." Richer, not worse than Yan Shaoning, His Majesty just looked at Yan Shaoning to feel more at ease, it's all the same, don't worry."
"That's what it said, Yan Shaoning isn't, forget it, you push him a bit more, people come over before talking, and let people prepare if there is something missing."
"I know, I will urge him."
Zhao Tuo closed the curtain of the car: "Your Majesty, take a short rest and call me if you feel uncomfortable, and I will accompany you outside."
Qin Yuanxi looked at him with innocent eyes: "Then can't you come in and walk with me?"
"Your Majesty, it's not suitable." Zhao Tuo said with a hint of helplessness on his face, "I will just ride around and follow His Majesty. If Your Majesty is bored, you can still talk to me, just like in the car."
"How can it be the same, I can't rely on you." Qin Yuanxi was not satisfied, but he couldn't be willful: "Forget it, you go, don't go too fast, anyway, don't rush, don't work too hard, you should Just stop and rest."
"Well, I'll let them walk slowly, try not to bump up His Majesty."
Qin Yuanxi wanted to roll his eyes a little bit: "I mean you, don't work too hard, rest when you need to, what can I do sitting here."
"Your Majesty loves me." Zhao Tuo smiled, and before going out, he leaned over and kissed Qin Yuanxi again, kissing Qin Yuanxi so badly, his blushing face was angry and funny.
He felt that Zhao Tuo seemed to have changed a bit recently, but he couldn't tell what kind of change it was. The feeling seemed a little different from before, as if he had become less loyal and honest, and became a little slippery.
But Qin Yuanxi didn't seem to dislike him like this, on the contrary he thought he was very cute.
No way, this is probably because beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
"If Zhao Tuo knew about the existence of the prince at all, then why did he cover up like this?"
The candlelight was flickering, Qin Yuanxi propped his chin and frowned slightly, he hadn't thought about it in the first place, if Zhao Tuo didn't recognize the existence of Prince Lu, then he wouldn't admit it, Qin Yuanxi didn't think it was a big deal, but just Letting Yan Shaoning say this, it seemed like a big deal in an instant.
Is Zhao Tuo lying to him?
This idea hovered in Qin Yuanxi's mind. If Zhao Tuo really lied to him, then Qin Yuanxi didn't know what to do. This matter is a bit complicated, but he still prefers Zhao Tuo to have his unspeakable secrets , Qin Yuanxi convinced himself, even if Zhao Tuo knew about Lu Bohuan's existence, so what?

After all, I finally convinced myself, but I still feel uncomfortable in my heart.
He has been with Zhao Tuo for such a long time, which can be regarded as a heart-to-heart. He has never been so close to Lu Bohuan, but Lu Bohuan, who is not so close, has not kept anything from him. Of course, there is this premise that Lu Bohuan It may not be possible to hide it, but at least Lu Bohuan didn't lie to him, so why did Zhao Tuo do it?
After all, Qin Yuanxi was still a little uncomfortable.
"Your Majesty, it's getting late, and it's time for Your Majesty to rest."
"Go to Yuehua Palace."
Qin Yuanxi stood up with a straight face.
He promised that Zhao Tuo would go to Yuehua Palace to accompany him, he must go, and there is one more thing, he had to confirm, whether Zhao Tuo knew about Lu Bohuan's existence, and whether Zhao Tuo had done anything because of this. This matter was deliberately hidden from him!
Although this matter is not a big deal, the issue of attitude is more important. Those two people are dating and living together, and even gave birth to a child for him, how can they hide anything from each other?
That is absolutely not possible!
There was still a bit of unevenness on the way there, but it disappeared after arriving at the place.

As soon as the early court was mentioned, Qin Yuanxi's expression changed slightly, and his fingers pinched Zhao Tuo's skirt a little tighter. Zhao Tuo was not Lu Bohuan, and he never cared much about such things as the early court, and he would not be like Lu Bohuan. He was instructed by ear to face to be a diligent emperor, and he must not be late for the morning court every day. Zhao Tuo is different. Morning court and so on are dispensable to Zhao Tuo. Sometimes Qin Yuanxi even sees getting up too hard. He will use practical actions to persuade Qin Yuanxi to directly cancel the morning court that day.
These words did not seem to come from Zhao Tuo's mouth.
After a little hesitation, Qin Yuanxi still pinched the corner of Zhao Tuo's clothes, and asked tentatively: "A Tuo, I, I have recently encountered a problem, which is related to taxation. Give me an idea, can you help me sort out my thoughts?"

With the same tone and attitude as before, the people around him took him into their arms: "If Your Majesty has any troubles about military affairs, I can help His Majesty solve them. What did His Majesty say about taxes?" , I really don’t understand, why don’t you ask the ministers of the Ministry of Household Affairs to discuss it.”

Anyway, this kind of activity that has no scientific and pure sense of ritual is very popular with everyone. It’s not always shown on TV like this. Just put some blood tests on it.
Besides, Qin Yuanxi never believed in that kind of thing. He is different now from when he first came here. After all, he has been the emperor for a few days, so he is still a little careful. This is a powerful society. And there is no DNA test. Under the power, isn't he the emperor who has the final say?Of course, the premise is that the power is in the hands of the emperor, or in the hands of the child's other father. As a father, it is impossible to demolish your child, right?
It doesn't matter where the child is born, what is important is that such a big boy will give birth to a child, and it must not be known to the world!
Therefore, if you should hide, you still have to hide, and if you want to hide, you have to do it as early as possible. It is best to take advantage of the time when Lu Bohuan is not around. As long as Zhao Tuo is persuaded to pack his luggage, he can run away immediately.
Qin Yuanxi originally thought that persuading Zhao Tuo would be difficult. After all, Lu Bohuan's opposition was relatively strong, so he also made a little preparation, trying to soften Zhao Tuo in a tactful, even coquettish way. A child is not something glorious, so it is understandable that he wants to avoid people's thoughts. As long as he is pitiful, Zhao Tuo will be in a difficult situation, and he will definitely agree to him in the end.
The result was not wrong, but Qin Yuanxi did not expect that the process would be so smooth.
It went well beyond his expectations.
Different from Lu Bohuan's strong objection, when Zhao Tuo first heard about this incident, he was only a little surprised, and he didn't feel that he had reacted too much, but it was only at that moment, before Qin Yuanxi even continued to explain his reasons. Zhao Tuo nodded in agreement. As for the coquetry and misery that Qin Yuanxi rehearsed in advance, it was useless at all.
As long as Zhao Tuo agrees, the matter will be much easier.
Happy to be happy, Qin Yuanxi is still a little bit worried.
"You really promised me to leave the palace? Really?"
Zhao Tuo looked at him and nodded with a smile: "Your Majesty can leave the palace if he wants to. As long as His Majesty is happy, as long as His Majesty is safe, it's the same anywhere."
"Then don't you worry, if the child is born outside, people will gossip about it? At that time, people will say that it is a child from outside the palace, whose identity is unknown or something."
"I'll see who dares." When Zhao Tuo said this, a coldness flashed in his eyes, as if a sharp knife was drawn out of its sheath, but it felt very different when he said it. .
Who dares, calmly with determination, as if those things have never been a problem in front of him.
"Your Majesty, do you have a good place to go?" Zhao Tuo lowered his head, stroking Qin Yuanxi's stomach, and suggested: "Now your Majesty is in a special situation, and it is not suitable to travel far. Why don't you live in the other courtyard near the palace? It's also close. What's the matter?" Things are also easy to handle, and secondly, the other courtyard is clean and no one disturbs you, so Your Majesty can wait for the delivery with peace of mind."
"Okay, another courtyard is another courtyard, you can arrange it."
As long as he can go out of the palace, it doesn't make any difference to Qin Yuanxi where he goes. The environment of the royal gardens is good, and the palace is tired, so it's not bad to go out for a stroll.
"Then when will we leave?" This is what Qin Yuanxi is more worried about next. It is not difficult to convince Zhao Tuo, but he is afraid that Lu Bohuan will come back before he leaves, and he will definitely not be able to leave by then. This situation is full of variables. , Qin Yuanxi's idea is to catch up sooner rather than later, so as not to have a chance to run away when things come to an end.
"At any time, His Majesty decides."
Anytime is really in line with Qin Yuanxi's wishes, and he made a decision as soon as he slapped his thigh: "Then tomorrow, I will ask those ministers for leave at the court tomorrow morning, and let them go to other places if they have anything to do." Find it in the courtyard, and then we'll set off."
The itinerary is confirmed, Qin Yuanxi is still a little excited: "By the way, there is also Yan Shaoning, he must not forget, you will have someone notify him in a while, and let him prepare quickly."
"Okay." Zhao Tuo stretched out his hand to hold Qin Yuanxi: "Why is Your Majesty so happy?"
"Of course I have to be happy. How can I be unhappy? I have to be happy." Qin Yuanxi was quite excited, and then Zhao Tuo asked again: "Is it because you are with me that you are happy?"
"Of course." Qin Yuanxi didn't think there was anything wrong with the question. Since Zhao Tuo asked, he answered honestly, and he didn't feel that there was anything wrong at all. If he could take a serious look at Zhao Tuo's expression, carefully Think about Zhao Tuo's tone of voice, and you will find some differences.
"I'm happy too, very happy." Zhao Tuo pulled him by the wrist, pulled him into his arms, followed by a lingering kiss, and chased after him. Qin Yuanxi's reaction during pregnancy was relatively large, and Zhao Tuo obviously He also understood this point very well, there was no need for Qin Yuanxi to express anything, and the two quickly got together in a dark and dark manner.
The final result was the morning court the next day. Not surprisingly, Qin Yuanxi did not get up again.
When squinting his eyes, he still remembered that he was going to ask for leave, but in fact, he couldn't open his eyes, and his consciousness was also confused and chaotic. Zhao Tuo put his arms around him, touched Qin Yuanxi's face, and kissed him on the lips , Whispered in Qin Yuanxi's ear: "Your Majesty will fall asleep first, and deal with me early. When His Majesty wakes up, let's go directly to the palace, okay?"
Qin Yuanxi, who was half asleep, was still in a daze, and the voice in his ear was soft enough, and he didn't know whether he understood it or not, but anyway, the voice was enough to reassure Qin Yuanxi, so he didn't even think about it. He nodded in agreement, turned over, and continued to sleep drowsily.
And Zhao Tuo beside him, seeing his sleepy appearance, got up and changed his clothes. What was different from before was that what Zhao Tuo was wearing today was not his silver silk armor but a purple gold boa robe, that is to say, he was wearing Lu Bohuan's court clothes to go It was early morning, and Qin Yuanxi, who was sleeping soundly, didn't know about all this.
When he woke up, Zhao Tuo had already returned and changed into a strong blue outfit, which was exactly the style Zhao Tuo often wore when they went out of the palace together.
"Hey, who does this handsome little brother belong to? What are you going to do? Come here and show me."
Qin Yuanxi, who was sleeping comfortably, was very interested, and he still had the heart to quarrel with Zhao Tuo. He was very skillful in molesting. He pinched Zhao Tuo's chin and kissed him. Of course, he was kissed too much.
Zhao Tuo is now more and more active, and more and more domineering and powerful. Before that, Qin Yuanxi had to take the initiative to hook him up. Later, after he tasted the sweetness, as long as Qin Yuanxi showed his intentions, Zhao Tuo would soon be able to Getting to His Majesty's thoughts is even more extreme now. Before Qin Yuanxi showed that thought, Zhao Tuo had already learned to guess what he wanted, so he was very presumptuous.
However, Qin Yuanxi likes this presumptuousness very much. In his opinion, this kind of back and forth confrontation is the normal state that should exist in the world of lovers.
"Leaving?"
"Well, Your Majesty has changed his clothes and set off after breakfast."
"Should I wear this?" Qin Yuanxi also saw the clothes hanging on the side.
Good-looking is good-looking, white and simple style, but looking at the clothes, it looks like a young man from a wealthy family. Just glanced at the waist, Qin Yuanxi was a little hesitant: "I look like this, if I wear this, I can't cover my stomach. of."
"It's okay, no one will look at it, don't worry, Your Majesty." Zhao Tuo put his arms around Qin Yuanxi's waist, and rubbed him gently: "Your Majesty must look good in this, I specially chose it for His Majesty, if you are worried that your stomach will show up , just add a cloak to block it later."
"OK then."
Qin Yuanxi was hesitant, but when he heard that Zhao Tuo personally chose the clothes for him, that little hesitation disappeared. It’s really no big deal, it’s just that he might lose his stomach, and at worst, he just blocks it. Zhao Tuo is so considerate , if he refuses, won't it be very hurtful?It's just a piece of clothing, and it's not a big deal, so Qin Yuanxi didn't pay too much attention to it.
When Qin Yuanxi saw the mighty guard of honor, he didn't react too much, and almost subconsciously grabbed Zhao Tuo's sleeve: "Why is there such a big battle? Are there so many people? We are not, I thought, "
He thought it was a private itinerary, just like the last time he and Zhao Tuo went out of the palace quietly, the two of them were similar in light clothes, how could he have thought that Zhao Tuo would arrange such a big battle, not only the guards The army, and even the Royal Forest Army from the imperial city were also transferred, and, why are there still ministers who came to see him off?
Seeing that this battle was almost the same as the last time he left the palace to worship the ancestors, Qin Yuanxi really didn't expect that this is just a private trip for him, so there is no need for such a big commotion, right?
"Your Majesty's safety must be guaranteed. Don't worry, they are all just sent to other courtyards, and they will come back later. Your Majesty will stay longer, so there will be an explanation." Zhao Tuo comforted him: "It's okay, Your Majesty. Just take the car, I will explain it clearly to them, there will be no other troubles, Your Majesty can rest assured."
"Do you still want to give it away?" Qin Yuanxi frowned, with a disapproving expression on his face: "I thought it would be fine for us to go quietly, you make such a big noise, forget it, just give it away, there is one thing You must remember for me, who gave birth to the other hospital, this news must not be revealed, do you know?"
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, it won't happen." Zhao Tuo smiled at him, with reassurance: "Don't worry, Your Majesty will never leak any news. After we arrive at the other courtyard, my people will strictly guard the surrounding area. It will not be spread, His Majesty can wait for the delivery with peace of mind, the news of the little prince will only be known to outsiders at the right time when His Majesty is willing."
"That's fine." Just as Qin Yuanxi was about to get in the car, he suddenly thought of something, turned his face and glanced, and asked, "Where is Yan Shaoning? Why didn't you see him? Where did you go?"
"Miraculous Doctor Yan said that he needs to prepare medicinal materials and other things to take to the palace. After all, it is a major event that we dare not neglect, so we need to make separate preparations. Let's go first. After Divine Doctor Yan packs up, he will come by himself."
"Then when will he come? Don't delay too long, you still count on him."
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I have arranged for the imperial physician to be casual, and they are all trusted by my own people." Zhao Tuo stroked Qin Yuanxi to sit down, and gave him a cushion to put on his waist: "Besides, the imperial physician in the palace is also experienced in this area." Richer, not worse than Yan Shaoning, His Majesty just looked at Yan Shaoning to feel more at ease, it's all the same, don't worry."
"That's what it said, Yan Shaoning isn't, forget it, you push him a bit more, people come over before talking, and let people prepare if there is something missing."
"I know, I will urge him."
Zhao Tuo closed the curtain of the car: "Your Majesty, take a short rest and call me if you feel uncomfortable, and I will accompany you outside."
Qin Yuanxi looked at him with innocent eyes: "Then can't you come in and walk with me?"
"Your Majesty, it's not suitable." Zhao Tuo said with a hint of helplessness on his face, "I will just ride around and follow His Majesty. If Your Majesty is bored, you can still talk to me, just like in the car."
"How can it be the same, I can't rely on you." Qin Yuanxi was not satisfied, but he couldn't be willful: "Forget it, you go, don't go too fast, anyway, don't rush, don't work too hard, you should Just stop and rest."
"Well, I'll let them walk slowly, try not to bump up His Majesty."
Qin Yuanxi wanted to roll his eyes a little bit: "I mean you, don't work too hard, rest when you need to, what can I do sitting here."
"Your Majesty loves me." Zhao Tuo smiled, and before going out, he leaned over and kissed Qin Yuanxi again, kissing Qin Yuanxi so badly, his blushing face was angry and funny.
He felt that Zhao Tuo seemed to have changed a bit recently, but he couldn't tell what kind of change it was. The feeling seemed a little different from before, as if he had become less loyal and honest, and became a little slippery.
But Qin Yuanxi didn't seem to dislike him like this, on the contrary he thought he was very cute.
No way, this is probably because beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
