Tyrant Reborn

The day when the queen mother returns to the palace is scheduled to be on the sixth day of Dongyue, which is a good day according to Qin Tianjian.

Hearing this news, I looked at the hollowed-out window in the Royal Study Room with my chin resting on my chin, and after a long silence, I agreed. To be honest, I don’t think the Queen Mother will lose her hostility towards Zhuo Wenjing after going to Xishan and returning to the palace. If there is no accident Well, with the temperament of the queen mother, the hostility will probably be deeper.

In the eyes of the queen mother, at this moment Zhuo Wenjing not only became the most favored person in the palace just like the third brother's father, but even the son she brought up with one hand was bewitched by this man regardless of the north, south, east, and west, and only thought about what to do. Together with him, and forgot about being the queen mother... so the hatred is mixed with anger, and this knot probably cannot be untied.

If that's the case, it will definitely be more detrimental to Zhuo Wenjing when the queen mother returns to the palace. In the past, I was not worried, but that time she knew that Zhuo Wenjing was pregnant, and she wanted to kill his child with all her heart. A little more involuntary precautions... Now that Zhuo Wenjing has been pregnant for almost four months, if something goes wrong with the child, wouldn't he collapse?

This thought makes me very uneasy, but I can't find a suitable reason to stop the mother who has not made any mistakes... Thinking of this, I sighed with a headache, and thought to myself, forget it, there is no way to think about it now Yes, we have to take one step at a time.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help feeling relieved, and then picked up the imperial pen to make corrections, and after a few times, someone reported that it was Zhuo Ran asking for an audience.

Hearing that Zhuo Ran came back, my heart moved, the hand holding the pen suddenly became a little heavy, and after a long pause, I whispered: "Let him in."

Yuan Bao hurriedly declares Zhuoran to see him.

Looking at Zhuo Ran who was stepping forward, I frowned slightly, it would not be a good thing for him to ask him to investigate the matter of the Queen's Temple no matter what the result was.

If what Zhuo Lun said is true, then there must be a massive bloodletting in the court, and the queen mother doesn't like the Zhuo family very much, after this incident, she may have a heart attack, thinking that the Zhuo family intends to make things difficult for her and let her know on purpose Regarding the matter of the Queen's Temple, wouldn't Zhuo Wenjing's life in the palace become more and more sad?

But if what Zhuo Lun said is not true, then the situation is even more subtle. I am not the only one who pays attention to the Zhuo family in the court, and that old fox Xue Qing must have noticed it all the time. I asked Zhuo Ran to inquire about things. He probably has nine out of ten It is possible to guess, but I don't know what wind Xue Ruyu will blow to the queen mother after hearing his words.

Thinking of this, I sighed again, and when I came back to my senses, Zhuo Ran had already knelt on the ground to salute, I glanced at him and then at Yuan Bao and said: "Go down, stay outside."

"Yes, Lord Long Live. Yuan Bao saluted.

When he closed the door, I looked at Zhuo Ran and said, "The situation is true."

Zhuoran glanced at me, hesitated a little and said: "Back to the emperor...the situation is true, the Queen's Temple has indeed become a ruined temple."

Although I am sure that this matter is true, but at the moment I heard it, I still can't stop my anger. After all, the temple is equivalent to the identity of the queen mother, and the identity of the mother empress represents my status at the moment. After entering the house of the sparrow, this matter was spread out, which made the world laugh out loud.

Thinking of this, I frowned and said, "Give me a list of the officials involved in this matter."

Zhuo Ran responded, but didn't get up, just knelt there silently and didn't speak. It could be seen that he wanted to say something, but he was hesitating again. Could it be that he had something to say?

Since he didn't speak, I asked, "Is there anything else?

Zhuo Ran raised his head and looked at me, his eyebrows raised, his face was two points heroic and three points proud, he whispered: "Can the emperor keep the queen safe?"

After hearing this, I felt a slight pause in my heart, Zhuo Ran naturally sees things clearly, let alone about Zhuo Wenjing.

So I didn't care about his rudeness, I just smiled lightly and said: "He is my queen, not someone else, if I can't even protect his safety, wouldn't I appear incompetent?"

Zhuoran looked at me, the melancholy in his eyes hadn't completely faded away, and there was even a strong sense of disbelief, I looked at him, and after a long time he said again: "The emperor now has a new beauties in the harem, I am afraid The emperor only sees the newcomers laughing but not the old ones crying."

Hearing this, I was a little displeased and said, "Is this such a ruthless person in your eyes?"

Zhuo Ran said: "Mr. Rong Wei is very rebellious. Although the emperor seems to be affectionate, he is actually a very ruthless person."

I twitched the corner of my mouth when I heard this, and said, "Zhuo Ran, I know you have a good relationship with Wen Jing, so it's understandable to have this kind of worry, but I'm not someone you should doubt at will. It will keep him safe and avoid his worries. You don't have to think about these messy things."

After hearing what I said, Zhuo Ran looked at me with disapproval, looked straight at me and said, "Your majesty, no matter how much you allow me to rebel, I feel that the emperor is ruthless... Your majesty probably doesn't know that the greatest wish of the empress since she was a little girl is to protect her." The family defends the country, so he joined the army to fight against the enemy, so that at the age of 16, he left countless scars and suffered from illness. He never thought of becoming the... person in this palace. The queen, as a The general of the court, but the male body entered the palace because of an imperial decree. Since then, he has lost the chic and freedom of the past, and even meeting his relatives is extremely extravagant. These queens don't care, but the emperor has ignored the queen for five years. ...Five years later, I suddenly doted on the empress, and the matter of the emperor's harem, I shouldn't have said too much, but I... I really have to worry about how far the emperor's love goes..."

I looked at Zhuoran, thought for a while and said, "I'm not that kind of...

Before I finished speaking, Zhuo Ran showed a sneering smile on the corner of his mouth and said: "I understand that the emperor is an emperor and there are many things that cannot be avoided. There are some things that the queen can't say, so I will say it even if I die. The queen does not want glory. Wealth and honor, one does not seek a superior official above the floating clouds, one seeks only a couple for a lifetime..."

After finishing speaking, Zhuo Ran knelt down on the ground, and I was stunned, a couple for a lifetime?As an emperor, how do you live as a couple for the rest of your life?Of course, it is also possible, unless I abolish the harem and dismiss the three thousand beauties, leaving only Zhuo Wenjing by my side.Just can I do it?

At this moment, I realized that I had never thought that I would be accompanied by only one person. When Zhuo Ran said this, I felt inexplicably complicated towards Zhuo Wenjing.

"Your Majesty, when you changed your attitude towards the Queen, I told the Queen to put his heart away. The emperor's feelings are unbelievable, because I know that if you touch something, you will be destroyed forever. But The empress has a deep affection for you, but she entered into the drama even though she knew it was unbelievable... The emperor is the son of heaven, and I dare not ask the emperor for the empress, I only ask that if the emperor has someone by his side in the future, he can let the empress go Leave the palace and give him back his freedom... If the emperor needs it, the Zhuo family will die regardless of whether there is a queen in the harem..."

Listening to the previous words, I was still heavy in my heart, but I was a little displeased when I heard Zhuoran said at the end, what did he mean by that, why did he think I was so unbearable? He's not free when I'm by my side?And if the emperor needs it, his Zhuo family will not refuse. Could it be that I am treating Zhuo Wenjing well now because I have a crush on him, the Zhuo family?Why didn't he say, I value the Zhuo family now because of Zhuo Wenjing.

The more I think about it, the more unhappy I feel, as if a fire is burning in my heart.But because he is Zhuo Ran, I patiently hummed and said coldly: "Okay, this is a matter of the harem, and it's not your turn to intervene. Don't do the daydream of taking Zhuo Wenjing away, of course If you are worried about him, you can visit him often... If you are afraid of other people’s gossip, I can give you a favor, let you join the imperial guards, and assign you to work near the Jiaotai Palace to protect the queen’s safety."

When I said this, Zhuo Ran was looking at me all the time. I felt that his eyes were full of research and evaluation, so I curled my lips and said: "If there is nothing else, then step back and give me the list as soon as possible. It’s already over.”

Zhuo Ran hesitated and said: "Your Majesty, I am afraid that I will be criticized if I enter the palace, can I change my appearance and become a guard?

"Changing appearance? What kind of appearance?" I asked a little puzzled.

Zhuo Ran looked at me, wandered his eyes for a while and said, "It's a disguise technique commonly used in martial arts. I want to pretend to be an ordinary guard, so not many people will pay attention to it."

After hearing what he said, I was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Okay, after you are busy with the list, you can change your appearance in front of me. I want to see...how did you change?"

Zhuo Ran's cheeks twitched, and he lowered his head in response.

A day later, Zhuo Ran handed me the list of the Queen's Temple, big and small, from the court to the local area, the people implicated are probably [-] to [-] officials, the Minister of the Household Department is at the top, I snorted coldly, Put this result on the ground in the early court, then looked at the Minister of the Household Department Sun Zhong sneered: "Is this what you told me about having no money? This is what you told me about building the Queen's Temple? Is this your achievement?"

Sun Zhong knelt on the ground and trembled, I raised the corners of my mouth and sneered, "Very well, the account books of the Ministry of Accounts are indeed flawless. If it wasn't for my insistence on pursuing the matter, all the money in the world might have been in your pocket..."

Sun Zhong knelt on the ground and begged for mercy. I glanced at him, then looked at Xue Qing and said, "Grand Master, I don't trust the account books of the Ministry of Accounts anymore. You can check it again, and I want to see other than the Queen's Temple. Where exactly did the money go? Get back the money that shouldn’t be used as soon as possible to dredge the river, if there is another mistake..." What if there is another mistake, I didn’t say much, but I think Xue Qing understands what I mean .

Xue Qing hurriedly said with a sad face: "My minister obeys the order.

I sneered in my heart, but didn't say much on my face.

Afterwards, I announced that Sun Zhong and others would be sent to the Prison and Penalty Department to wait for Qiuhou to be executed, their property would be confiscated, and the men would be slaves, while the women would be slaves.

In fact, I just want their heads to fall to the ground right now, but Zhuo Wenjing has a child, in order not to bump into this child, I let them live for a few more months...

After dealing with these court affairs, I was still resting alone in the Panlong Hall this night. After Zhuo Ran begged to see me that day, I slept alone in the Panlong Palace on the seventh day... I haven’t seen Zhuo in these seven days. Wen Jing, because I found that I was a little afraid to see Zhuo Wenjing, and occasionally I would be like this, gnashing my teeth at Zhuo Ran. If he hadn't said those inexplicable words, I wouldn't be alone. I should let Zhuo Ran marry a wife. He had a good taste of this taste...
