Empress, you don't want to be thrown into limbo by your father, do you?

In the dead of night, there is a curfew in the capital, and no one is allowed to go out.

Once the official finds out, it is a trivial matter to be caught and thrown into a cell. If he is shot and killed by an arrow, who can he reason with?

There are two kinds of people who dare to go out after the curfew.

Either the official who is in charge of patrolling has an official seal on his body!

Otherwise, only those skilled and daring knight-errants, or some sneaky rats, would take huge risks to appear outdoors during this time period.

"The nightlife in Beijing is a bit boring."

Li Changshou left the palace without anyone accompanying him. At his current state, there were only a handful of people and things in the world that could hurt him. He even suspected that he was the most invincible in the world if other heavenly beings did not show up.

The huge capital city is still bustling with brothels and flower boats by the river, and few people can be seen in other places.

"Do you want to lift the curfew?"

To be honest, the nights in the capital are extremely deserted. Of course, he also knows why the curfew system was implemented in the past dynasties, it is nothing but for the sake of public order.

After all, the entire capital is so big, how many manpower would it take to stabilize law and order if there is no curfew?
Such a one-size-fits-all approach is one of the emperor's favorite methods no matter what era it is, it is convenient, fast, and saves time and effort.

Soon, Ganye Temple was in sight.

Maybe it was late at night, but the whole Ganye Temple seemed to be quiet without any sound.

There are people placed by the Imperial City Division nearby, called protection, but actually monitoring, but Li Changshou knows in his heart that if the Queen Mother Zhou Huier really wants to leave, the Imperial City Division will not be able to find out.

Easily avoiding all eyes and ears, I finally came to the small courtyard where the Empress Dowager lived alone. This place was specially ordered by the abbot of the Ganye Temple to vacate it. The monks also know the ways of the world.

"Go down, I want to be alone."

"Yes, Master, the servants will leave."

As soon as he came to the backyard, Li Changshou heard movement from inside the house, and at the same time saw a young woman dressed as a nun retreating from the house. He recognized this woman as the female disciple of the Demon Sect who had been serving Zhou Huier.

Even if she came to Ganye Temple, Zhou Huier would naturally still have someone to serve her. If she wasn't worried about being scolded by the government and the public, she would directly replace the entire Ganye Temple with someone from the imperial palace.

"Let's all go back."

The little nun who came out nodded to the other female disciples of the Demon Sect. They had entered the palace as maids before.

Now she comes to Ganye Temple to be a nun, and her wealth and life are all in the hands of the Queen Mother.

Li Changshou watched them leave, and then raised the corners of his mouth slightly. These days, he has been wondering if the queen mother will leave secretly, and no one can keep her in check anyway.

Unexpectedly, for the past month, she really stayed in Ganye Temple and had no intention of leaving.

Seeing that there was no one around in the dead of night, Li Changshou opened the door and walked in.

But soon he found that he came at the wrong time.

Why?

The room was filled with mist and steam, and the vision was a bit hazy. It was clear that someone was taking a bath...

"So coincidentally?"

The corner of Li Changshou's mouth twitched slightly. He didn't think too much, but just took time to visit Zhou Huier.

Who would have thought that it would be a coincidence, and at this moment he is neither going in nor leaving.

How could it be possible to hide the sound of the door being pushed in such a quiet night?
"Didn't Ben Gong say that you want to be alone for a while?!"

In the huge wooden barrel in the house, someone was taking a bath with their eyes closed. There were some flower petals floating on the surface of the wooden barrel, which made the whole room exude a faint fragrance.

"Mother, it's my son..."

Li Changshou slapped his forehead. Since he was heard, he could only go in logically. It was not intentional but a coincidence. Turning around and leaving now seems a little guilty, right?
"Shou'er? You..."

Zhou Huier, who was immersed in the water in the wooden barrel, was extremely surprised, her eyes opened suddenly, flashing surprise and resentment.

Sure enough, when she stood up and turned around, she saw a familiar figure appearing in front of her.

As if he still didn't believe it, he muttered to himself: "Is this Gong confused? Is it Shou'er?"

Accompanied by the sound of splashing water, the excited look on the Empress Dowager's face couldn't deceive anyone, she even wanted to come out and touch it to prove it wasn't an illusion.

Faced with the current situation, Li Changshou was so embarrassed that he could only smile awkwardly and hurried forward, "Mother, it's my son, not a hallucination, my son is here to see you!"

For more than a year, he could feel Zhou Huier's changes, but there was always a thorn in his heart, which made it impossible for him to truly let go of his heart and accept Zhou Huier.

"It's my birthday son!"

After feeling Li Changshou's fingers, and then being pulled to caress Li Changshou's face, Zhou Huier finally smiled, and then, as if venting her grievances for more than half a month, she snorted and said, "I thought His Majesty was already here." The imperial palace is happy to miss Shu, forgetting that the palace is still in Ganye Temple!"

Listen!

I blame him for not coming to visit for many days, the sour smell filled the room and the fragrance of flowers couldn't cover it.

"Queen Mother, isn't this son here..."

Li Changshou coughed lightly, and then gently reminded, "The night is late and autumn is cold, mother, you must not freeze."

Hearing the reminder, Zhou Hui'er only realized later. Just now she got up when she heard the sound in the bath without even thinking about it. Of course, her skill level has been completely protected from cold and heat. How could she be frozen?

But hearing Li Changshou's concern, he still let out a silver bell-like laugh, and said with a coquettish laugh, "You still know to worry about me? I thought that His Majesty only cares about those concubines around you now!"

While talking coquettishly, she flicked Li Changshou's forehead fiercely with her slender fingers, but she didn't use any force, and she was reluctant.

"The queen mother has wronged my son. The most important position in my son's heart has always been the queen mother! The world can learn from the sun and the moon!"

Li Changshou habitually stated his position immediately, although the presence or absence of the queen mother is not that important to him.

He was already full-fledged, but Zhou Huier had treated him pretty well in the past year or so.

That's why I wanted to do my filial piety for the original owner.

"Bah, I know how to talk sweetly in front of Bengong to make me happy!"

Having said that, Zhou Huier's peerless face still has a little more smile and contentment, this woman has to be coaxed, especially a woman who is willing to be coaxed by you, a little movement of her mouth can satisfy her.

Why not do it with such a low cost?
Of course, Zhou Huier also found that Li Changshou's eyes were awkward, he didn't know how to look at her, and his face was slightly flushed.

Immediately understood, but she didn't do anything wrong, instead she said with a coquettish smile, "Why? Are you still shy in front of me?"

"Isn't my son already grown up..."

Li Changshou defended himself, thinking that this demon girl from the Demon Sect is informal.

When Zhou Huier heard it, she smiled coquettishly and trembled. Of course, she stopped teasing Li Changshou, and turned back to the water without any intention of avoiding it. "Your Majesty will always be a child in front of this palace."

"What the queen mother said is that the son has always been a child in the eyes of the queen mother."

Seeing Zhou Huier's various reactions, Li Changshou had some thoughts in his heart.

A witch like her who was born in a demon sect, was ambitious and suspicious, and did things with all means and ruthlessness. Perhaps the reason why she could open her heart to him with such a femme fatale heart was because she didn't regard him as a threat?

Back then, he wanted to kill the original owner, but it was just for a better position.

Now that there is no such reason, it is natural to get close to him.

"Okay, don't continue to talk to Bengong, come here and help Bengong take a bath."

"Queen, why don't you go out and call someone over?"

Li Changshou asked tentatively, is Zhou Huier so unguarded against him now?
"no need."

"Mother, don't blame Erchen for being clumsy..."

He said it in advance, so don't blame him for his wrong methods and hold grudges, right?
Sighing, Li Changshou stepped forward, he had never been called around like this in his previous life and in this life, not even his relatives were treated this way, in order to be filial to the original owner, he will go all out tonight up.

"Queen Mother, my son has started!"

"Well, take it easy..."

……

After taking a bath and changing clothes, Zhou Huier resumed her nun's attire, and her plain sea blue couldn't conceal her peerless elegance at all.

However, now he can only stay in this cold Ganye Temple and no one cares about him.

Li Changshou also heaved a sigh of relief. Zhou Huier disliked his lame tricks to death, but fortunately, he finally got over it now.

"At this hour, His Majesty is leaving the palace alone?"

At this moment, when it was close to being ugly, Zhou Huier naturally felt strange in the dead of night.

"I don't want too many people to follow, and it's not suitable for too many people to come to the mother's side, so I left the palace alone to visit."

The reason given is somewhat far-fetched.

Of course, it also depends on whether the listener is willing to believe it or not. Fortunately, Zhou Huier doesn't care about these small things very much. Wen Yanyan smiled and pulled Li Changshou to sit next to her, "You, you are the emperor now, how can you not be around?" People? Don't be so reckless in the future, at least bring Eunuch Cao with you, in case something goes wrong, will you make me survive?"

While speaking, there is resentment and blame, and the concern cannot be faked.

"It's because I didn't think carefully, and I will definitely not be like this next time, it's just..."

"Just what?"

"My son is usually busy with political affairs, so it's not good to visit the queen often. Only at this time, there are not many people staring at him, so I can visit the queen at other times. There are too many involuntary choices at other times."

Li Changshou showed a wry smile. After all, Zhou Huier's reputation has not been very good these years, and the name of the demon concubine is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

This remorse made Zhou Huier feel guilty instead, "It's the empress mother's fault. After that, His Majesty will come over at night, and I will wait for you."

"Thank you mother for complete success!"

"Poor mouth~!"

That night, Li Changshou didn't leave until almost dawn.

Until he left, he seemed hesitant to speak, and disappeared into the night without saying anything.

"Master, it seems that His Majesty really cares about you."

In the dark, an old woman slowly appeared, also dressed as a nun, and she was the host of Ganye Temple.

Correct!
The host of Ganye Temple also came from Momen.

"I know His Majesty's sincerity, and he didn't decree to kill the Demon Sect just for my sake!"

Zhou Huier's face no longer had the tenderness just now, but was replaced by sensuality and killing intent.

Some people in Momen dared to destroy the relationship between her and Li Changshou.

Damn!
