Si Tian Guan

There was a knock on the drum, and the little eunuch guarding the corner gate found a sheltered corner to lean against.

Few people come to this place, let alone at night, there is still time for naps.

Before closing his eyes, he straightened his body and listened. Another person came in a few days ago, but he didn't see anyone, and the master who led him didn't allow him to ask too much.

The woman was still crying and yelling at first, and she couldn't hear it clearly, but the master didn't let him listen carefully, saying that if she understood, she would be beheaded.

So what if you don't accept your fate, after entering this cold palace, few can get out.

He folded his sleeves and shrunk his head, and only slept for a while. He didn't know whether it was because of the sound of footsteps or the light of the lantern. He woke up suddenly and saw a little light in the night, followed by several figures. He turned over and knelt down in fright.

The person holding the lantern in front didn't even look at him, but bowed slightly, leading the people behind him to cross the threshold carefully.

The person who followed at the end gave him a hand, and softly ordered: "Go farther away."

Taking advantage of the time of kowtowing, he quickly peeked and saw a little golden pupil in the dim light of the lantern, and then he realized who it was who just passed by.

"Oh my god……"

It's autumn, and there are not very dry fallen leaves rolling around in the courtyard that has not been cleaned, and there is a rustling sound when stepping on it, like a person who has fallen but is unwilling to die.

The sound followed the footsteps all the way to the door, Yu Dexi took a few quick steps, and the dilapidated wooden door opened in response, making a creepy dry snapping sound in this night.

The people inside hadn't slept in the first place, and they sat stiffly at the wooden table, as if they were properly placed corpses in the Yizhuang.

Her unpainted face was a little pale, without hairpins, and her long hair was pinned loosely behind her head with a hairpin.

Having survived the most hysterical days, Xu Shi knew that everything was irreversible, and she didn't even lift her eyelids when several people entered the door.

Qu Chenzhou spread his cloak on the chair he dragged over, and helped Emperor Yu to sit down.

It was just a few days apart, everything was different from yesterday, the emperor and empress were relatively silent for a long time before Emperor Yu spoke first: "Xi Lan..."

The queen turned her eyes dumbly, and after a long time, she struggled to fix her eyes on him, and smiled: "How long has it been since the emperor called me that, and now he comes to take pity on me, are you laughing at me?"

"Xi Lan, you have always been so aggressive all these years."

The queen had no intention of arguing, and asked indifferently, "Where is Zhao'er?"

In the night wind that squeezed through the crack of the door, Emperor Yu coughed lightly: "Don't worry, I won't treat Zhao'er badly."

"Treatment?" The Queen suddenly laughed coldly.

"I believe, I believe that the emperor has never treated him badly. The emperor will give him whatever he wants. If he doesn't want to study, the emperor will not be harsh. He can do whatever he wants. At most, the emperor just scolds him and never touches him." One finger."

"With you protecting him, he won't even listen to or believe my words, but he will be closer to you instead."

"When he was unwilling to learn anything before, you didn't force him. When he grows up, he only knows how to eat, drink and have fun. The errands you gave him are messed up, so you know how to dislike him."

"How did he become such a waste, don't you know?"

Emperor Yu frowned dissatisfied.

"He didn't live up to himself, so you blame me. Jingde and Jingyan, which one was taught by the same, why didn't they grow up like him."

"He's extravagant and doesn't teach, isn't there anything wrong with you as a mother?"

"If I've been tough on him from the beginning, wouldn't you have said hello to me?"

"I handed over Shiliting to him, did I teach him to be rebellious? He is rotten at the root!"

The queen smiled sadly.

"It's rotten at the root? Isn't his root your Mu Renze?"

"You say he's rebellious? He's as cowardly as a mouse. Why don't I believe that he dares to be rebellious? If you don't have ghosts in your heart, why didn't you let me see him before? Why didn't you dare to see me!"

"My Tang family has worked hard and complained for dozens of years, but I didn't expect it to be in the eyes of the emperor."

Yu Dexi shouted in a low voice: "Your Majesty, be careful with your words!"

"What are you! How dare you interrupt in front of me!"

The queen sternly reprimanded, and suddenly looked at the person standing on the other side.

"Qu Chenzhou! I have always been unable to understand the cause and effect, and you may be the only one who makes me unable to understand. Is it you! Did you say something to the Queen Mother! Did you bewitch Zhao'er... "

Emperor Yu interrupted her displeasedly: "It has nothing to do with him."

"Qu Chenzhou, did you see me!" The queen raised her voice, like crying and laughing.

"Do you think it's good to be loyal to the emperor? Look at me! Do you know how many things I have done for the emperor and how many people I have killed! No matter how great your contribution is, can you surpass me! But look at me Me! I am your lesson from the past!"

Seeing that she was about to rush towards her with teeth and claws, Qu Chenzhou stopped in front and answered her calmly: "Your Majesty, please be safe and don't be impatient. The Emperor is here tonight to ask your Majesty something important."

This sentence is like pouring cold water into a boiling pot.

The queen's figure was fixed for a moment, then she suddenly laughed again: "So that's the case, I thought it was because of old love, it turns out I'm still useful, I'm still useful..."

The three people on the opposite side looked at her insanely in silence, until the laughter turned into a cry, and a low sob was choked in her throat.

"what do you wish to ask……"

Emperor Yu didn't seem to see her sad face, and asked slowly: "When I was young, I was physically weak and sick. It wasn't until I ran into that charlatan on the street and got a prescription that I gradually got better. Such a coincidence, is it you or your brother? Moved from it?"

The queen's laughter that had just calmed down became even more shrill.

"What warlock? What prescription? You are guilty, do you have ghosts in your heart?"

"I don't know, hahahahaha! Even if I knew, I wouldn't tell you."

"What are you afraid of? Are you afraid that your highness will seek the wrong person for your life, or are you afraid of your mother who died with regret?"

"Then let me tell you, from now on, when you dream back at midnight, there will be another Mu Jingzhao who seeks your life!"

"He is your own son! How can you be so cruel! Are you a human being! You will regret it!"

Emperor Yu interrupted her rudely: "I just want to ask you, did you poison me! Are you doing the same trick again!"

"What old trick?" The queen looked at him and snorted a few times: "Is it your fault? I was really blind to choose you back then, and now you are pouring all the dirty water on my head for the credit you made back then. Yeah?"

"Nonsense!" Emperor Yu was furious: "Why choose me! It's not that I doubt you! You don't even think about how you got this position!"

The queen was silent for a moment, then burst into hysterical laughter.

"How did you get it? I want to ask you, how did you get this position?"

"I poisoned people to death. Didn't you play tricks in the middle? If you didn't kill the mother who couldn't get on the stage, you wouldn't even be qualified to carry the queen mother's shoes!"

"Don't even think about it, why don't you dare to let the queen mother meet Qu Shenzhou!"

"Mother is kind and son is filial? Bah! I only hate myself for not knowing people! I believed your nonsense!"

"Murenze, don't you want to know if that charlatan has anything to do with my Tang family? I won't tell you!"

"You have nightmares every day! Those people you killed will drag you into hell one day!"

Her growling became thinner and thinner, as if she couldn't hold it in one breath, she laughed and gasped, and fell to the ground while leaning on the table.

Emperor Yu suddenly stood up, flicked his sleeves, and sneered: "It's been so many years, you can say it or not, I don't really want an answer."

Yu Dexi understood in his eyes, and closed the door behind the two of them.

Qu Chenzhou carried the lantern and walked in front of the side, as if he didn't hear the suffocating and struggling sound of being covered in the door, he carefully helped Emperor Yu down the steps.

In the silence of autumn night, they walked in the low chirping of insects, like lonely souls in the dark, without saying a word.

It wasn't until he returned to the bedroom that Qu Shenzhou put down the lantern, knelt outside the threshold, and sent Emperor Yu off respectfully.

Such a serious ceremony made Emperor Yu stop: "Why?"

"I have thanked the emperor Long En, and I will definitely live up to my love."

Emperor Yu's depression of the night was greatly relieved, and he did not shy away from taking people tonight's affairs, just to see if Qu Shenzhou could overcome the hurdle of his confidant.

"Smart little guy," he smiled gratifiedly, leaned over and touched the top of Qu Shenzhou's head: "I won't treat you badly."

"The concubine implores the emperor to send Qu Chenzhou out of the palace, otherwise the concubine dare not accept this gift."

"What did you say?" Emperor Yu looked unkind, and he didn't even let the person kneeling on the ground stand up: "I ordered you to take care of the affairs of the harem, and you are arrogant because of your favor, and you are bargaining with me?"

Liu Qingru didn't squint her eyes and didn't panic.

"Although the concubine is young and ignorant, she also knows that rules and etiquette must be strictly enforced. The emperor was exhausted in the previous court, and the concubine should share the worries of the emperor."

"But now that Qu Sitian lives in the palace, there are rules for courtiers and concubines to live, sit, and lie down. He is also a special case."

"Not to mention that Qu Sitian is in charge of Xiaoying and Jinwuwei. If he intends to interfere, the courtiers and concubines are just a decoration..."

Emperor Yu interrupted her: "Shen Zhou is not such a person. According to you, whoever is in charge of Nanya will have the final say in the harem?"

Liu Qingru lowered her eyes: "Your Majesty, Qu Sitian is different from human beings. If Qu Sitian has a glimpse of the sky and has his own plans, the ministers and concubines will obstruct them, and if major events are broken, the ministers and concubines cannot bear it."

"Alternatively, can the emperor tell the concubine when to obey Qu Sitian and when to obey the concubine?"

"The emperor entrusted me with the harem, naturally it is for the peace of the harem, if disturbing the unrest, disturbing the emperor, how can the concubines feel at ease?"

"It's not that the concubines are incapable of accommodating others, it's just that it is against the rules for Qu Sitian to live in the palace, and secondly, the concubines can't do what they say in the harem, and the concubines dare not take on this important task."

Seeing that Emperor Yu was silent for a long time, tears welled up in her eyes, and she spoke again softly.

"Your Majesty, the quarrel between Chongming and Qu Sitian is well known to everyone. If anything happens, the concubine will inevitably be suspected. As the emperor, the concubine is not afraid of speculation, but the concubine has Lan'er, so I don't ask for too much." , I just hope that Lan'er can grow up in a happy and free-spirited environment."

The hem of the clothes in her line of sight suddenly left the side of the couch, and she hadn't finished sighing in her heart when the person who had arrived at the door asked in a deep voice: "Qingru, do you know that because of Shen Zhou's living in the palace, the Xilan and I had a big fight."

"I know," Liu Qingru replied softly, "I think the concubine has the same concerns as the concubine."

Emperor Yu snorted, as if he wanted to utter a bad word, but then remembered that she was gone, so he slowed down: "If she was willing to say that, I should have listened."

Liu Qingru raised her head suddenly, surprised and delighted: "The emperor means..."

Emperor Yu smiled and helped her up.

"You are right. You have a gentle and undisputed personality, and he is quiet and has a temper. He will inevitably wrong you. But you still have Lan'er here, so I will ask Concubine Yu to help you. It’s good to take care of it.”

There was a smile on Liu Qingru's lips, and after returning to the table with Emperor Yu and sitting down, her face turned red after only a few cups of warm wine, which made Emperor Yu laugh at her amusedly.

When the person was sent out of the palace gate, the sun had already set, and the grand lady put on a cloak for her.

"Your Majesty, go back, it will get cold at night."

"Is it cold?" Liu Qingru still smiled: "It's quite warm."

It is indeed not cold, much better than this time last year.

In less than a year, they have already made up for the many years behind.

King Qi, who once thought he held the military power firmly, and the Tang family, who once held the emperor firmly, have finally dissipated into ashes.

Liu Qingru gathered her cloak and smiled slightly: "Next year, maybe it will be even warmer."
