Tyrant Reborn

I don't know if it's because of my mood, but I feel that this afternoon is particularly difficult.

I was sitting in the imperial study and reading the book, but I didn't read a word in my eyes. All I could think about was Zhuo Wenjing's calm face. From time to time, I would look at the golden bucket and sand beside the imperial case. I really wished for it Immediately drop...

The eunuchs and maids serving in the palace were silent, and Yuan Bao was too arrogant to make a sound, not to mention other things, but occasionally someone would look at me carefully.

Although I felt a few eyes looking at me, but this time I was happy and didn't feel the feeling of peeping, so I didn't take the opportunity to blame them.

After enjoying myself for a while, I suddenly remembered something and said to Yuan Bao: "Yuan Bao, you go pick a few smart inner eunuchs to serve in Jiaotai Hall, this time people must be smart, if something happens again Chazi, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Yuan looked at me and said with a busy smile: "Long Live Lord, don't worry, the servant has already picked someone to send to me, and there will be no mistakes this time."

I nodded and smiled, thinking that Yuan Bao was indeed reassuring, and then waved him over, whispering a few words in his ear, Yuan Bao was taken aback for a moment, then nodded with a smile on his face, I looked at him and said: " Go ahead, handle this matter yourself, and if the queen asks about it, she will tell me what I mean."

Yuan Bao responded, turned and left, and after he left, I was really relieved and focused on the booklet.

It's just that there are good and bad things. When the book was just approved, the eunuch of the queen mother's bedroom came and said that the queen mother was not feeling well. He invited the imperial doctor and sent him to ask if I would like to go and have a look.

After hearing what the inner eunuch said, I smiled and said, "I'll be there right away." After finishing speaking, I put the folder away, and slowly tidied up my clothes, before heading to Fengyi Palace.

She is my queen mother, and I have already sent people to say so. If I don't go, it will be unfilial. Thinking of this, I sighed and looked at the servants beside me. Yuan Bao was not there, so I asked Pei Xiu Temporarily took his place and helped me pass.

When we went, Zhang Tingyu had just taken the pulse for the queen mother, and was prescribing a prescription in the outer hall. The queen mother was sitting behind the curtain, and I walked up to Zhang Tingyu softly and whispered: "What's wrong with the queen mother? Does it matter?"

Zhang Tingyu saw that I was busy saluting, so I shook my head and said: "It's about this time, the rules will be waived. After all, what's wrong with the queen mother, she was fine yesterday, why is she sick today?"

Zhang Tingyu probably understood the meaning of my words, took a look at me, lowered his head and said in a low voice: "My Majesty, it's probably autumn, and the cool wind has been a bit tighter these days, and the Empress Dowager is a bit cold. , the prescription prescribed by Weichen to warm the middle and remove the cold, the Queen Mother will be fine after drinking a few doses of the medicine."

After hearing this, I calmed down slightly, and then said to Peixiu: "Peixiu, take the prescription of Imperial Physician Zhang to get the medicine, and send Imperial Physician Zhang back by the way."

"Yes." Peixiu said softly, and then stepped forward to support Imperial Physician Zhang and said, "Master Zhang, I will send you back."

Zhang Tingyu thanked him, turned and left.

After he left, Ruolan lifted the curtain, and the queen mother leaned on the chaise longue with a pale face, her eyes slightly closed.

I walked over to salute with some distress, and said in a low voice: "Mother, it's autumn and it's easy to catch cold, you should be careful at night, fever or something is a minor illness, but it's always uncomfortable to take medicine. "

The queen mother hummed weakly, then slightly opened her eyes and glanced at me and said, "Your Majesty, you have lost weight."

I felt sore when I heard it, and quickly laughed and said: "Mother, my son has lost weight, but the mother is sick, which makes my son feel really uneasy."

"What's wrong with you." The queen mother smiled softly twice, looking into the distance with dull eyes and said: "You emperor, what you are doing now is as good as possible, the Ai family also likes it .”

Hearing the hidden meaning in the empress's calm words, I laughed in my heart and said: "Empress, what are you talking about? Have you heard something unpleasant from the palace again, let you listen to it?" It’s here, so you’re sick because of the fuss.”

"The emperor is angry, everyone in the palace is in danger, do you need others to pass it on?" The queen mother looked at me and frowned slightly, "It's not that the deaf can't hear, nor the blind can't see... But it's true, the emperor The favorite concubine Ru concubine has lost face in front of the emperor today, the Ai family dare not say anything, lest the world will say that the old women in the harem interfere in politics and make it difficult for the emperor."

Hearing the dissatisfaction in my mother's words, I pursed my lips to suppress the displeasure in my heart, and said lightly: "Mother, the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics. It was her inappropriate actions. How can there be a concubine in the harem who has inquired clearly about the affairs of the court, and even accused me of wrongdoing in person, saying that I have sentenced an unjust case. Isn't this a slap in the face? My son thinks That's right, if Concubine Ru chews on your ears and makes you unhappy, then I will warn her next time and let her know what she should say and what not to say."

After my words fell, the queen mother looked at me in surprise. After a long time, she sneered and said: "What a rule passed down from the ancestors, the emperor intends to hand over all the government affairs to Zhuo Lun, right? You are really sorry My good son. The Ai family would like to ask, what kind of ecstasy did Zhuo Wenjing give the emperor to make you spoil him like a different person."

"Mother, what are you talking about? How could Zhuo Wenjing do this with her son... Mother, don't think too much about your discomfort. I have my own sense of this matter." I smiled and said: "Since the mother is fine Sorry, I'm busy with business, so I'll take my leave first." After saying that, I stood up and prepared to leave.

"Stop." As soon as I took two steps, the queen mother stopped me in a cold voice. I stopped and turned to look at her. The queen mother's eyes were a little cold and said: "The emperor has really grown up, you don't listen to Aijia's words."

"Mother, of course I listen to what you say, but you once told me that this world belongs to me, and you taught me that all the power is in your own hands. I think there is nothing wrong with this matter. Obedient or not?" I asked with a frown, then raised my eyes to look at the bead curtain separating the inner hall, and then snorted coldly.

The queen mother said three times in a row that she was very good, obviously extremely resentful and annoyed, I saw that she didn't speak, not because she didn't want to say it, but because she didn't want the people behind the bead curtain to hear the true voice in her heart.

"The emperor has grown up, and Ai's family has nothing to say about the affairs in the court, but Ai's family wants to know, what is the reason for sending candles to the empress when the emperor is so grandiose today? Why is it like decorating a new house?" The queen mother looked at it. Looking at me, I frowned and asked coldly.

After hearing this, I coughed softly, and said with a warm face: "It's nothing, I just want to spend the night with the queen tonight."

"Are you really fascinated by that Zhuo Wenjing?" The queen mother stood up and looked at me and said with a pale face, "A few days ago, when you went to the queen's place, although there were records in the respect room, the Ai family knew the whole story , but with all your fanfare today, is it true that Zhuo Wenjing is really willing to give birth to a prince?"

Looking at the anxious and ugly face of the empress mother, I wanted to say, I don't want him to have a prince but a prince, but after all, she is my biological mother, I can't refute her face on the spot, she is also the most beautiful woman in the harem. I don't want her to be more mean to Zhuo Wenjing because of the honor and the highest authority.

So I didn't say this, and the other words were silently admitted.

For the queen mother, I respect her and be filial to her, but I can't let her watch over everything. An emperor who can't even make decisions about sex, what's the use of staying in this palace? , are all useless.

It's okay to be useless in the past, but in this life, I never want others to stop me, even if that person is the queen mother.I will naturally respect her when the word filial piety is at the head, but I can't ruin the country just because of filial piety, so I can meet my ancestors with my face.

So I looked at her and said, "Queen, I understand what you mean. To be honest, I like Zhuo Wenjing in my heart, and I also know that you don't like him, but if you insist on treating him as before, I will not I will be sad. Mother, it’s getting late, and I still have some papers to approve. These days, things about the Lu family and the Grand Master are all rushed together. I’m very tired, and I don’t know what to say. I don't want to say any more. Erchen will leave now, take care of your health."

After I finished speaking, I turned around and left Fengyi Palace. The queen mother said something behind me, but I didn't hear it, and I didn't want to hear it.

When returning from Fengyi Palace to Panlong Palace, all the good mood at the beginning was gone, and the empress mother was really sad about that hurdle.

"Long Live Lord, don't worry, the Empress Dowager just can't think about it now, she will be fine in a while." Yuan Bao, who came back from Jiaotai Hall, comforted her in a low voice.

I looked at him and sneered, "Yuanbao, even you can see the goodness of the queen, but the queen mother can't see it like that?... Forget it, I was just thinking, how can Zhuo Wenjing's life in the palace be like this?" Couldn't be more sad."

"This slave is talking too much, but Lord Long Live, this slave thinks that the empress has a big heart, so she won't care about this." Yuan Bao said.

I hmmed, Zhuo Wenjing wouldn't care, but I did.

For the rest of the time, I stayed in the Panlong Hall without moving, thinking about nothing, and didn't comment on the papers. I took a couple of casual dinners, and then I got up and went directly to the Jiaotai Hall.

When we went, there were many people in Jiaotai Hall, which was more lively than usual, because the people selected by Yuan Bao were busy.

Looking at this scene, I like it in my heart, and the depression during the day has dissipated.

Yuan Bao announced with a high-pitched voice, and the busy figure hurriedly knelt down to pay his respects. I looked at it and nodded, then walked to the inner hall.

In the inner hall, red candles were lightly burning, and the bed was covered with a bright red brocade quilt in the auspiciousness of dragon and phoenix, it really looked like a new house.

Zhuo Wenjing was burning incense, under the lamplight, he turned around, his eyebrows were warm and delicate, seeing me busy saluting, I stepped forward to help him up, but didn't let go of my hand again.

A few strands of his hair were scattered in front of his forehead, and it looked like it was not completely dry. I stretched out my hand to stroke it, and whispered in his ear, "Are you waiting for me?"

Zhuo Wenjing moved her body, hummed lightly and said, "It's sort of."

I was overjoyed when I heard that, and put my arms around him.
