Reborn as King again

The queen mother was trembling with anger from me now, but I watched He Wenliu leave as if nothing had happened until he was out of my sight.

He Wenliu was able to freely enter and leave the imperial study room. The whole palace knew about this matter but no one expressed his opinion, because this was what I meant.At the beginning, he was afraid that He Wenliuwo would not come out in Qingluan Hall, so he was sent to the Imperial Study to relax. He had been away for more than a year, and the queen mother came to arrest him now. Could it be too late?The concubines and eunuchs in the palace are not fools, obviously He Wenliu is protected by me, and they also know what to say and what not to say, so some words cannot reach the ears of the queen mother.

A few days ago, there was news from Lanmei that a new eunuch next to Xia Zhisu had told the empress that He Wenliu was with me in the imperial study, and the empress was so angry that she had an attack on the spot, and then said that she wanted to settle the score with He Wenliu.But the queen mother was stopped by Xia Zhisu, saying that no one would recognize what she said was unfounded, and today's farce was born.Yesterday, I deliberately asked He Wenliu to come to the Imperial Study to look for me. I wanted the Empress to bring her cronies to make a scene in the Imperial Study. I saw that there was no Lanmei among the empress, so I guess she just found a reason and didn't dare to come.

The queen mother was ignored by me like this, she felt very wronged, she cried and said: "The Ai family knows that you don't like Su'er entering the palace and the Xia family, but you can't use Concubine Wen to be so angry with the Ai family, right?"

"Mother, you are joking, the emperor's sister-in-law and Xia Jiazhen don't take them seriously at all, you praise them too much. Don't just use the Xia family as an issue every time I disobey you." I sat down On the imperial concubine chair where He Wenliu was sitting just now, he said casually: "The matter of Concubine Wen's coming to the Imperial Study Room was never discussed, but it is possible that someone would gossiping with you for making the Queen Mother come to the Imperial Study Room with such great fanfare." Get root." Obviously, the person I'm talking about is Xia Zhisu, and I can't help but feel a little annoyed when I think of Xia Zhisu, she has only been in the palace for a month and started to make trouble.

"What is no one talking about?" The queen mother was even more annoyed when she saw my indifference, "Aren't the eunuchs and nuns in this imperial study not human? Today you and Concubine Wen did something in this imperial study. They can see everything clearly, so you are not afraid that they will spread the word and hurt your concubine Wen?"

"The queen mother has reminded me," I ordered to the guards, "arrest and kill those who entered the imperial study with the queen mother today." These people must die. To see who is the real master, just follow your mother and make trouble in the imperial study?

When I spoke, the nuns and eunuchs immediately knelt on the ground and begged for mercy. Immediately, there was a burst of crying in the imperial study, "Your Majesty! Your Majesty, please forgive me! The servants will never tell what they saw today."

The queen mother didn't expect me to be like this. I treat everyone around her politely. How could I order her to be executed?The queen mother pulled my sleeve and said: "My lord, you...how can you do this? They...they have served Ai's family for so many years, how can you treat them like this?"

I took the queen mother's hand and comforted me: "Since the queen mother begged for mercy, then I will spare them the death penalty." Then I said: "For the sake of the queen mother, then I will cut off your tongues and goug your eyes." , break your hands, and let you continue to stay in the Compassionate Ning Palace to serve." Living like this is better than dying, and all the people brought by the empress kowtow vigorously, begging for mercy.

"Emperor! You..." I interrupted my mother, and said to her with a smile: "Actually, it's all because they broke into the imperial study today and saw things they shouldn't have seen, don't you think?"

The queen mother looked at my smile, her face became extremely distorted, "You...do you hate Aijia so much?"

hatred!Of course I hate it!I never thought that my mother would plot against me!When I was in the Taimiao, I clearly ordered that I don’t want to be disturbed by others, but Xia Zhisu could still come in, it wasn’t the Queen Mother’s instruction, she couldn’t even step through the gate of the temple.The queen mother knew that Xia Zhisu was the first wife of the emperor's brother, but she still allowed her to drug me and have sex with me. How could I not know their intentions? !I thought it wouldn't be long before my mother would force me to make Lixia Zhisu a concubine.I finally understand why the emperor's brother stopped asking about Xia Zhisu's actions in the harem before his death, because his heart is dead. I thought the only enemy of the emperor's brother was Xia Zhisu, only the Xia family. Also his enemy!We were all deceived by the queen mother. We always thought that the queen mother was blinded by her love for Xia Zhisu, but in fact they were all in the same group!In the heart of the queen mother, the Xia family will always be ranked first. The Xia family killed the emperor, and the queen mother protected them. The Xia family forced Xiao Ba away, but the queen mother still protected them. Now the signs of the Xia family are pointing to me!

After all the people who went to the imperial study with the queen were executed, I sent them to the Palace of Compassion and Peace. I just wanted to let Xia Zhisu understand that I am not the same kind of person as the imperial brother, and that the imperial brother can be filial to the empress without limit , to accommodate my mother, but I will not, as long as people who violate my bottom line, they will not end well.

After dealing with all this, I didn't talk to my mother anymore, so I left her alone in the imperial study, walked into the back room of the imperial study, and went to find He Wenliu.What happened in the imperial study room today is just an opportunity, I just let the queen mother realize that I am no longer the son who always thinks about her.

The back room of the imperial study is a small lounge, built for the emperor to take a nap when he was tired from work. When I entered, He Wenliu was lying on the small couch. When he saw me, he immediately sat up and stretched out his hand to me.

I sat on the side of the bed holding his hand, and said with a smile, "What's the matter? Have you missed me not long ago?" He Wenliu ignored my change of subject, and quickly asked, "Is the queen mother angry? Don't quarrel with her." , she is your mother after all, tomorrow a humble minister will go to the Palace of Compassion and Ning to apologize to the empress."

How could I let him go to the mother's wolf's lair? Continue to change my subject, "You are still pregnant with the child, don't let me run around, after you give birth to the child, I will not stop you wherever you go."

"But..." He Wenliu wanted to say something, but I interrupted him: "Concubine Wen, don't be too weak, you know?" I looked at him and said seriously: "The only person who can move you in this world is Zhen, other people don't have the guts, if someone bullies you, you must let me know immediately, okay?"

He Wenliu was a little dazed by what I said, but he still nodded in agreement.But I don't trust He Wenliu's temper, because I'm afraid he won't understand what I mean.In the evening, I sent He Wenliu back to Qingluan Hall, specially called Xinyue and other inner eunuchs who were serving him to him, and gave them good instructions.It doesn't matter if they are arrogant and domineering in the harem, but He Wenliu must be considered in his heart, and He Wenliu must not be wronged.Those inner eunuchs are all smart people, I have already said this, if there is any reason I don’t understand, I quickly agree.

My advice from yesterday was really useful. The next morning, as soon as I walked out of the side hall, I saw Xiaoluzi wandering under the willow tree not far from the side hall. When he saw me walking out of the side hall, he hurried forward to pay his respects .

Little Lvzi said anxiously: "Your Majesty, just after you left this morning, a group of eunuchs came from the Sizheng's room. They said that Concubine Wen violated the palace rules and wanted to punish Concubine Wen to kneel in the ancestral hall." In the Sizheng's room The job of the inner eunuchs is to punish the court ladies and eunuchs who violated the palace rules.

Now that He Wenliu is eight months pregnant, the superintendent dares to let the concubine go to the ancestral hall. No need to think about who gave the order. They just saw He Wenliu as a bully, so they took He Wenliu.Fortunately, I specially educated He Wenliu yesterday, I think he won't be so stupid to let others bully him, right?

Little Lvzi saw that I didn't respond for a long time, and was about to jump anxiously, "Your Majesty, hurry up and go to the ancestral hall, I think Concubine Wen is already kneeling there!"

"What?!" My brain became hot, anger surged into my heart, and I asked sharply: "Concubine Wen is ignorant, don't you also understand?! What did I tell you yesterday?! Let you take good care of Concubine Wen, you Why didn't you stop him?"

Xiaoluzi was questioned by me, and immediately knelt down and explained: "Your Majesty! You don't know that dozens of inner eunuchs came to the Sizhengfang today. We also protect Concubine Wen and don't let him go with the people in the Sizhengfang. I just left with the people from the Sizhengfang, Your Majesty, hurry up and save Concubine Wen..."

I didn't care about Little Lvzi's plea for help, I just got on the imperial chariot, and ordered Wanfu to go to the ancestral hall as quickly as possible, He Wenliu, He Wenliu, I have protected you so much, why are you still jumping into the fire pit?

When I arrived at the ancestral hall and got off the chariot, I saw a dark area on both sides of the ancestral hall door. There were five or sixty people wearing special palace uniforms made by the Sizhengfang. If you don’t know this, looking at their posture, you might think that there are assassins hiding in the ancestral hall. .

In the center outside the main entrance of the ancestral hall, there are more than a dozen court ladies and eunuchs kneeling, who can be seen as people from Qingluan Temple.I went forward, and the eunuchs guarding both sides of the ancestral hall first looked astonished, and then knelt down to pay their respects.

Those people in Qingluan Hall looked disheveled and messy, they looked like they had been tortured.I always thought that after two years of my arrangement of the harem staff, those who stay in the harem should be smart and winking people. The whole harem knows how much I love He Wenliu. Usually, I don’t even punish him, I don’t even say harsh words I told him that this Sizhengfang is good, and it has done all the things that I usually dare not do.

I walked towards the entrance of the ancestral hall, passing the court ladies and eunuchs kneeling in the middle of the entrance, Xinyue was kneeling at the very front, with a red slap mark on her face.He Wenliu has a good temper, and the people who follow him are all honest and responsible people, it's okay if there is no accident, but Qingluan Hall really can't survive this accident.

I went to the side of Xinyue and asked, "How long has Concubine Wen been kneeling inside?"

Xinyue trembled, looked up at me in disbelief, she burst into tears and cried for a long time, "It's been half an hour, Your Majesty, you... hurry up and save him!"

I didn't lower my head, I kept looking at the gate of the ancestral hall and said coldly: "Xin Yue, what did I tell you yesterday?"

Xinyue kowtowed to me and admitted her mistake: "It's the servant girl who is not good! The servant girl did not protect the master well, no matter how the emperor punishes the servant girl, the servant girl will never complain."

"That's not necessary, I won't punish you," I said slowly: "You all get up." After the people in Qingluan Hall stood up, I said to Xinyue: "Come into the ancestral hall with me." Xinyue agreed With a sound, follow behind me.

I walked up to the ancestral hall, and before I stepped into the door, I heard a male and female voice from inside, "Concubine Wen, don't blame the servant today, the servant is also following orders, who told you to stand with the emperor?" You have to make trouble with the empress dowager."

Hearing this made me angry. Although I knew it was the mother's will, I didn't expect the Sizhengfang to be the queen's minion. The Sizhengfang's status in the palace is equivalent to the Ministry of Punishment, and it is not under the control of anyone. Even if it is the queen mother.

After I walked into the ancestral hall, I saw He Wenliu kneeling on the futon in the center of the ancestral hall with a big belly, holding a tray with both hands, and there was a thick book of palace regulations in the tray. He Wenliu's hands trembled slightly, as if he was about to lose weight up.I saw an eunuch wearing the official uniform of the Sizhengfang standing beside him and said: "Empress Wen, take it easy, it's only half an hour, and the empress dowager will punish you to kneel for three hours."

"Bold!" Wan Fu immediately cursed at the tone of the eunuch in charge, "Even if you were asked to supervise Concubine Wen and be punished, you were not allowed to talk to Concubine Wen in such a tone, you don't want to die, do you! "
