When Yuning woke up the next day, Qin Sui was about to go down.

After tidying up briefly, he hurried back to Oasis Palace to get the ledger.

On the way, Yu Ning's remaining drowsiness was finally awakened by the cold wind, he rubbed his face, feeling a little puzzled in his heart.

Yu Ning: "Why do you feel that I didn't sleep so soundly in Ganquan Palace?"

Xiao Linzi: "Maybe it's because His Majesty is so wise and mighty, you feel very at ease sleeping next to His Majesty?"

Yuning: "..."

I don't know why, but it can't be this.

After taking the rest of the ledger, Yu Ning changed her clothes again, and then went to Qinzheng Palace again.

"Your Highness, please wait here for a while. Your Majesty is discussing matters in the imperial study and will come later." Wen Ting bowed to him, then turned and left.

Qin Sui has always been lazy in dealing with political affairs, and he has been annoyed by going to the court every morning, why is he still discussing affairs after the court?

Yuning was a little puzzled, but he didn't expect to wait until noon.

Yu Ning was hungry, got up and went out to take a look, and asked Wen Ting: "Can I walk around here?"

Wen Ting's eyes were perplexed, and he looked in the direction of the imperial study hesitantly, "It's okay in the courtyard, but please don't go to other places, Your Highness."

"Thank you."

Sitting in the house waiting for a long time is really boring, he wants to go out for a walk.

But there is nothing to see in this yard, the only thing Yu Ning is interested in is the tree house in the yard that is said to be built for himself.

The tree grew only a little higher than the eaves corner of Qinzheng Hall, but it was very thick, about the width of four or five people hugging each other.

It's already winter, and although the branches of the giant tree look bare, the bark is as green as a seedling.

Yuning walked in a little bit, and when he looked up, he could see the tree house on the top of the thick tree.It's just that the tree house is too small, it's impossible for Qin Sui to get into it with his physique.

Yu Ning couldn't help stretching out his hand, feeling the rough texture of the bark under his fingertips, he couldn't help feeling a strange feeling in his heart, and turned to ask Xiao Linzi: "What kind of tree is this?"

"I don't know..." Xiao Linzi shook his head, "This tree has been around for a long time. I heard that it hasn't blossomed and bear fruit for hundreds of years."

Yuning: "Since it hasn't blossomed and bear fruit for hundreds of years, how do you know? Maybe this tree won't bloom or bear fruit at all."

"Does Your Highness not know the legend of this tree?"

Xiao Linzi affirmed: "It is said that Emperor Gaozu suffered from a strange disease after he proclaimed himself emperor, and his appearance is getting older day by day. Imperial doctors and eminent monks have been invited, but they still can't cure this strange disease. However When Emperor Gaozu was critically ill, a wandering Taoist priest with a pockmarked face and ragged clothes suddenly appeared in front of the palace, holding a golden fruit in his hand. No one knew how he got in, only that Gaozu ate the golden fruit. The fruit's strange illness was cured soon. And the Taoist Youfang has since been appointed as the first national teacher of my court."

Yuning was stunned: "Is the golden fruit produced by this tree?"

Yu Ning has naturally heard the story of Emperor Gaozu and the national teacher, but he didn't know that there was such a hidden story in the middle.

Xiao Linzi nodded: "Later, according to the location that the national teacher said, Gao Zu sealed off the tree for hundreds of miles around it, and it became a royal hunting ground."

"Then His Majesty moved this tree to the palace, and there was no official objection?" Yu Ning couldn't help but marvel.

This is considered a sacred tree, can Qin Sui pull it out and move it here casually?

Unexpectedly, Xiao Linzi hesitated to speak, and looked at him strangely.

Yu Ning was taken aback for a moment, and then reacted.

That's right, his grandfather was the officer in charge of remonstrance.

But the grandfather, who was the head of the speech officer, was seriously ill because of that ridiculous gift of marriage. Naturally, the other courtiers did not dare to say more about this matter, for fear that it would be their turn to suffer in the next moment.

Yuning: "Go back."

The tree house has also been seen, and now the weather is getting colder, and he is quite cold after standing here for a while.

The master and servant went back after a while, the charcoal fire in the room was blazing, Yuning was holding a cup of hot tea, feeling a little attached to the temperature for a while.

Left and right were also idle and bored, so Yu Ning asked Xiao Linzi to bring over the unfinished miscellaneous notes from Ganquan Palace.

As soon as the people left, Yu Ning was the only one left in the empty apse.

He was bored, and couldn't help wondering what Qin Sui was up to, and said to himself, "Did something important happen recently..."

"Does the empress want to know?" Yu Ning had just finished speaking when a strange male voice suddenly appeared next to his ear.

At some point in the hall, a second person actually appeared!

Yuning almost spilled the hot tea in his hand.

Before he could find the source of the sound, a person was suddenly hung upside down from the beam in front of him.

Yuning: "..."

"Who are you?" Yu Ning was taken aback.

This man can't be an assassin.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, I'm not an assassin." The man saw the guard in his eyes, and smiled slightly, "Look, I'm not masked, and I'm not trying to hurt you."

Yu Ning still looked alert: "Then you come down first."

As soon as the words fell, the man flew up, jumped off the beam neatly, and landed firmly.

What a handsome skill!

Yu Ning's eyes lit up, and when he saw the face of the person coming, he couldn't help admiring again.

This man was dressed in blue clothes, with a slender figure, his hair was tied up high, his handsome face was still slightly childish, and his eyes were sly and clever.

"He Lang has met the empress." The man bowed respectfully.

"He Lang?" Yu Ning was sure that he had never heard of this name, but the man's performance just now made him sure that this man was not an assassin.

It's just that Yuning couldn't guess his identity.

It doesn't look like a eunuch, but a bodyguard who is not dignified enough...Could it be the young master of some family?

But seeing that he is also free and undisciplined in the palace, Yu Ning guesses that his status must be not low, or he has a very good relationship with Qin Sui.

But tyrants have friends too?

"Your Majesty, don't you want to know what His Majesty is up to?" The man raised his eyebrows slightly, his eyes were round and bright, "Your Majesty knows, do you want to listen?"

Yuning: "Can I listen? Your Majesty won't kill you if you know... you won't be unhappy, right?"

"How could it be?" He Lang smiled, showing the little canine teeth on his lips, "Our Majesty is the most benevolent monarch."

Yuning: "..."

You say yes.

He Lang sighed: "Actually, His Majesty has been busy with the snow disaster in Sendai County these days."

"Snow disaster?" Yuning remembered that Qin Sui was called away by Wen Ting because of this matter a few days ago.

"Yes." He Lang's eyes were serious: "It has become more and more serious these days, and four or five towns in Xiantai County have suffered heavy losses. Most of the houses have collapsed, the number of refugees has increased, and countless beggars have frozen to death on the roadside... If Without emergency treatment, there is even a high possibility of a plague outbreak in the coming year.”

"It's so serious..." Yu Ning couldn't help but worry, "Has the imperial court allocated funds?"

"Your Majesty summoned Sangong for this purpose."

Yu Ning was relieved for the time being, but couldn't help being even more curious about He Lang's identity.

He Lang, who realized that he was being sized up, said, "Is there anything else you want to know?"

Yuning retracted his gaze, shook his head: "No more."

That's all, other things, the more you know, the faster you die.

"Then I don't know why the empress came to see His Majesty?" He Lang smiled and tilted her head to look at him.

"I'm here to deliver something to His Majesty." Yu Ning said vaguely.

He Lang's eyes were teasing: "Oh~ Your Majesty and Your Majesty have such a good relationship."

The two chatted for a while, and Qin Sui hurried over towards noon, his face was gloomy, and the bruises under his eyes became more and more obvious.

Like a handsome goblin.

When he came in, he saw He Lang beside him, and he wasn't surprised at all. He just looked at him unkindly, and said angrily, "Who told you to talk to him?"

Yuning: "..."

The exclusion doesn't have to be so obvious.

"He Lang has seen His Majesty." He Lang got up and saluted, and glanced up and down at Qin Sui, his eyes brightened: "Your Majesty's condition has gotten better recently, it seems that after getting married, it really is different."

"Leaving duty without permission, talking too much nonsense, first go to the punishment hall to get twenty thorn whips and then report to me." Qin Sui glanced at him coldly, then sat down beside Yu Ning, and handed over the miscellaneous notes that Yu Ning asked for. give him.

Yuning guessed that Qin Sui knew that someone else was here, so he didn't let Xiao Linzi in.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward." He Lang was still smiling, and after saluting, he turned around and went out to be punished.

Yuning: "..."

"Your Majesty, this is the one left."

As soon as he left, Yu Ning handed over the ledger to him.

After waiting for a whole morning, Yuning was already hungry at this moment, he didn't make a sound, flipping through the miscellaneous notes in his hand, obediently waiting for Qin Sui who was looking down at the account book.

It's just that Yu Ning didn't eat much in the morning, and sat patiently for a long time, but still couldn't bear to say: "Your Majesty, are you still busy later? Why don't you go back first."

So hungry, he didn't want to wait any longer.

Qin Sui looked away from the ledger and looked up at him: "No need."

As soon as he finished speaking, He Lang who just finished receiving the whip also limped back at this moment.

After being whipped, He Lang's face was pale, the blue clothes on his body were already torn, and there were bloodstains in many places, and he looked seriously injured.

It's just that he still doesn't care about it, and even has time to ask Yu Ning to stay: "Your Majesty, please don't leave, I brought a lot of delicious and fun food from outside the Great Wall, and I'm waiting to present it to you at lunch."

"Moreover, I learned a new way of eating from the north. It's fresh and interesting. I'm sure you haven't eaten it, let alone seen it. You don't know, my lady. The taste is so memorable..."

"..." Qin Sui: "If you say one more word, you will stay in the punishment hall tonight and don't come back."

He Yan silently closed his mouth.

At the same time, another voice sounded in the room.

"Goo-"

"..." Qin Sui and He Xuan looked over at the same time.

Yuning: "..."

This stomach is too disappointing!

Yu Ning shyly said, "Cough...the concubine is indeed a little hungry."

Turning his head to glance at Yuning, Qin Sui ordered: "Go and prepare lunch."

He Wei: "Yes."

The room finally returned to the usual quietness, Yu Ning changed for a long time before he managed to suppress his embarrassment.

He looked at Qin Sui cautiously: "Your Majesty..."

Qin Sui: "What?"

Maybe it's because the accounts are sorted out well, or maybe because of the comparison, Yu Ning actually thinks that Qin Sui's attitude towards him is pretty good.

Yu Ning: "I don't know if Mr. He is..."

Qin Sui: "The leader of my secret guard."

Yuning: "..."

Is this audible?

Yu Ning, who was afraid that he would be silenced in the next moment, kept his eyes closed and kept silent.

Qin Sui, who looked down at the account book, saw that Yuning hadn't spoken again, so he couldn't help but look up at him, and when he saw Yuning's expression at the moment, he couldn't help but sneer.

He put away the account book, and said in a joking tone, "What? Are you afraid I will kill you?"

"..." Yu Ning: Don't say I'm scared, I'm still a little scared.

Qin Sui: "Queen, don't worry, since you are married to me, I will naturally not keep it from you."

But the more you know, the faster you die.A grateful smile appeared on Yuning's face: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
