Liu Huafei

The Queen Mother turned her head away, covered her mouth with a veil, and did not speak.

Fuqing was a slave of her natal family.When she entered the palace at the age of 15, Fuqing actually gave up the county magistrate that his mother begged the master to donate to him, and voluntarily entered the palace as an eunuch and stayed by her side all the time.Fuqing is her confidant, and Fuqing has accompanied her through the ups and downs of these years, and this time is no exception.

Fuqing has taken all the blame on himself.No matter what the emperor thinks, as long as the queen mother doesn't speak up to defend Fuqing, he can't blame his own mother for anything.She never fights or grabs all her life, doesn't say much and doesn't do much, and she is promoted from a beautiful girl to a noble concubine, to a queen, and then to a queen mother.All her status and honor depended on her son, and it was already a momentary carelessness to deal with her time before, so naturally she would not say anything more at this moment.

Yuan Mutian looked at the queen mother for a moment, then suddenly sighed: "Mother, you are so cruel."

The queen mother's shoulders trembled slightly, but she still didn't make a sound.

Fuqing still knelt on the ground and kowtowed, Yuan Mutian put his foot on his forehead to make him stop.

Yuan Mutian didn't even look at Fuqing who was kneeling with his head lowered and trembling slightly, he just continued to say to the queen mother: "Mother, you have always been kind-hearted, why are you so cruel to Nianhua? I didn't believe that the queen mother would kill Nianhua ruthlessly , now, I can't help but believe it. What did he do to make the queen mother treat him like this."

The Empress Dowager coughed softly a few times, as if she was trying her best to suppress the discomfort in her body, but she just turned her head and didn't want to look at her own son who asked her about the crime.

At that time, Hua was pampered and delicate, and he didn't have a trace of reverence for her, not to mention, his nonsense that "the emperor likes him, and the emperor has worked hard to pursue him before he agrees" made the queen mother even more angry.

She was in the deep palace, so she would know about Nianhua because those old officials who were dissatisfied with the emperor's behavior came to inform her. I hope that as the queen mother, she can advise the emperor.

The emperor was her greatest pride in her life, and also her only reliance. How could she let this kind of blue-faced misfortune who didn't know how to advance and retreat, who was a man, ruin the emperor's reputation at will.His existence has already made the elders in the court dissatisfied with the emperor's actions, and he still wants to spread such rumors at will. He even lures the emperor to favor him every night and alienate the harem. This is an unforgivable crime in the eyes of the queen mother.

At this time, facing the emperor who asked her coldly, the queen mother finally couldn't bear it anymore and poured out all the grievances in her heart.

Yuan Mutian shook his head and said: "Mother, you are wrong. Nianhua did not seduce me, and Nianhua did not say anything wrong. It is I who cannot do without him, and I have tried my best to keep him by my side. He does not want to be in a cage." Canary, I let him leave the cage of the harem. I tried my best to please him, but only wanted him to stay voluntarily. Because I understand that if he wants to leave, no one can hold him captive."

"You, how can you be so confused!" The queen mother supported the bed with one hand, pointed at Yuan Mutian with the other, and said with a pale face, "He is a man, how can you guard him for the rest of your life?! Are you sad?" My family was born in October, so Ai’s family wouldn’t understand you?! Back then, you spent three months staying with the beautiful woman who came to pay tribute to the Moon Kingdom, trying to make her smile. What about her now? ?! Do you still remember this person in your heart? You are the emperor, and you can mess around with those things, but now you are openly bringing that year into the court, letting him be a general, and even giving him a higher status. The old minister is still tall. Do you know how much resentment the court minister has in his heart for wanting to be an official in the same dynasty with a male favorite who shamelessly tempted the emperor?!"

Yuan Mutian stood up, and said in a cold voice: "I have my own opinions on the affairs of the court, and the queen mother does not need to say much. There are ministers in the court who dare to disturb the queen mother's peace by privately using the court affairs. It seems that I have to deal with it. It's over."

He looked at Fuqing, who was kneeling on the side, and said to the two execution eunuchs kneeling outside the door: "Fuqing dared to lie to the Queen Mother, and lynched the ministers of the court without authorization. It is really abominable. You two took the punishment stick , How did you fight last night, how do you fight back on Fuqing now."

When the two heard this, they quickly agreed, and took the torture stick from the hands of the two young eunuchs behind them.One person walked over and pulled Fuqing up, and was about to drag him to the execution room.

The queen mother yelled, struggled to get up from the bed, and said with tears in her eyes: "Emperor, you know that Fuqing did not do this, why do you still do it?!"

"Fuqing pleaded guilty, and I will naturally punish him. This is to prevent this dog slave from thinking that he can do whatever he wants with the support of the Queen Mother. This harem will always be my harem. Even if I burn it down, I will not allow others to do it for me. host."

After Yuan Mutian finished speaking, he flicked his sleeves and left.The two execution eunuchs glanced at each other, not knowing what to do.

The queen mother rushed to Fuqing's side, pulled the eunuch's hand away, and shouted angrily: "The beating is over, get out!"

The two hurriedly knelt down, dragged their torture rods and retreated out.

"Fuqing, Fuqing...the emperor actually treats Aijia like this because of a cheap pet..." The queen mother put her arms around the shoulder of the manager of Fuqing and cried loudly, she knew that Yuan Mutian's last words were for her.

Fuqing sighed softly: "Your Majesty, don't be sad. The Emperor never disdains the affection of his children. We never thought that he would treat that age..."

As soon as Yuan Mutian came out of the Empress Dowager's palace, Ling Qing came up to meet him.Yuan Mutian sighed softly: "Come back to the guard camp with me, I'll go and see Nianhua."

Ling Qing responded, walked behind Yuan Mutian for a while, and said: "Nian Hua insisted on leaving, and I have sent people to surround his room. He is injured, so he probably cannot escape. It's just that you are here, Your Majesty." In the future, let's take him out of the camp to talk. Otherwise, I'm afraid that the brothers in the camp will..."

Yuan Mutian snorted softly: "Ling Qing, do you also think what I did is ridiculous? You also think that age is not worthy of being an official in the same dynasty as you?"

Ling Qing hurriedly said: "This subordinate has absolutely no such intentions. This subordinate was too prejudiced before and was really too stupid. Nianhua is an upright man who values ​​righteousness over profit, not to mention his profound martial arts, and what you personally taught him, Your Majesty. In terms of military strategy, Nianhua is definitely one of the best generals now. The subordinates are also very happy to have a friend like Nianhua. The subordinates only think about Nianhua and the emperor, and don't want other people to..."

"It's just that you still think that Nianhua's serving me is disgraceful." Yuan Mutian's voice came from the front.

Ling Qing clenched the sword in his hand, and after a moment of silence, he said, "This subordinate has never thought of this before." Since he became acquainted with Nianhua, he has indeed never underestimated Nianhua because of it.It's just that every time the emperor summoned Nianhua to go to the palace, and he didn't come back all night, every time he saw his dark and empty room, the strange sourness that gushed out from the bottom of his heart was indeed not comfortable...

Yuan Mutian's voice interrupted his recollection: "Forget it, I don't want to quarrel with Nianhua in the guard camp, what's the matter. I will take him away."
