thank you + extra

Hu Ao felt that the prime minister was rash, but he was very happy.He glanced at the gray sky and thought to himself, when the weather is better, he will go out of the palace.

Xie Yi returned to the palace, lay down next to Liu Zao again, snuggled into her arms as before, closed her eyes, and thought about something.What I think about the most is that His Majesty's body is really healthy.But she was in the palace, well-clothed and well-fed, and the medical officer also paid attention to recuperation, except that she looked better on weekdays, and she was still sick when she caught a cold.

Xie Yi was thinking about whether to summon all the medical officers to consult with His Majesty, Liu Zao moved.Xie Yi broke her thoughts and opened her eyes to look at her.She frowned, and suddenly became restless, as if she was experiencing a nightmare.

Xie Yi immediately got out of her arms, hugged her back, and patted her gently as a comfort.Liu Zao seemed to be comforted by her, and gradually calmed down, but within a moment, she became more agitated, her body was tense, her breathing was short, her chest heaved and she was extremely disturbed.

Xie Yi hurriedly called her: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."

At the fifth sound, Liu Zao opened his eyes.She was a little slow, dazed for a while, and then remembered to look for the people around her, and when she saw that Xie Yi was still there, she immediately hugged her tightly.

Xie Yi's voice rang in her ears: "What did you dream about?"

Liu Zao didn't answer, but hugged her tightly, buried her head in her neck, and refused to let go.Xie Yi stopped asking, and said softly, "Don't be afraid." Liu Zao still remained silent, but his breath was obviously lighter.

Xie Yi smiled, touched the back of her neck, and said, "I'm here."

Liu Zao hugged her even tighter, but still refused to speak.

After a long time, she replied, "I dreamed of a copper lamp."

Xie Yi naturally still remembered what the copper lamp was, so she couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable.After Liu Zao finished speaking, he exhaled slightly, and his voice also lowered: "You are angry when you see the copper lamp, and you don't want me anymore."

Xie Yi felt distressed when she heard the word "don't want me", but she didn't want to encourage her unhealthy tendencies, and said, "It's true that you are rude."

Liu Zao muffled and said in a low voice, "I've put clothes on it."

Xie Yi said coldly, "You still have to argue."

Liu Zao didn't dare to say it anymore, she actually dreamed that Xie Xiang beat her.When she woke up, her face still hurt.The matter of the copper lamp exposed her mind, shattered her innocence, and made her completely hopeless.Whenever I think of it, the fear is still there. Adding that disgusting sentence, it is like a nightmare. I will think of it when I am sad, even more desperate, and I will think of it when I am happy. It seems that all happiness is fake.

Liu Zao really wanted to ask, do you have me in your heart.Xie Xiang had hurt her so resolutely, and hadn't reconciled for several years, why did he accept her again.But she didn't dare to ask, not because she was afraid that everything in front of her eyes would be false, once she asked, there would be nothing left, but these days, Mr. Xie is so gentle and considerate everywhere. If she asks again, Mr. Xie will have her in his heart , must feel sad.

"Do you find me annoying?" Liu Zao asked.

"Why do you ask that?"

Liu Zao said in a low voice: "I look forward and backward, but I can't be decisive. I said I wanted to see you as my aunt, but I never did it in my heart, and I pretended not to be like you. You always saw it. It seemed to be hypocritical and begging for your pity. .Now you want me, but I always think about the past, always afraid that you will still leave. The happier I am, the more empty I feel.”

As she spoke, she felt bored, and she felt that she was not worthy of thanking her.

"Are you putting on an air?" Xie Yi asked.

Liu Zao immediately shook his head and said discouragedly: "I'm not." But it showed that it was.

Xie Yi sighed slightly, and asked again: "Have you ever thought about letting go?"

Liu Zao was silent for a while, and finally nodded: "Think about it, think about it many times, and try it many times."

Even though she knew that although she wanted to, but failed to do it, her heart still felt a twinge of pain.Xie Yi bit her lower lip: "I hurt you too much."

This time Liu Zao was not silent, and immediately said: "No. I want to let go, not because you reject me, but because you seem tired, worried, full of scruples, afraid of hurting me, afraid of unintentionally wishing me. Pay attention to propriety everywhere. You should have held your head high, whether you were ruling the court, or hiding from the world, you should be free and unrestrained. But because I am full of burdens."

Liu Zao said, twitching the corners of his lips, laughing at himself and blaming himself: "It's a pity I didn't do it."

"If we do, we won't be here today. You are not a burden, you have always been different from me." Xie Yi said, and promised her, "I won't leave, and I will be with you in this life. You think, I'm always by your side."

Her tone was very calm, but she opened her heart, confiding to Liu Zao.Liu Zao was immediately happy.

Seeing her smiling, Xie Yi couldn't help but also smiled, and she said again: "I don't blame you for the copper lamp, even though I was annoyed at the time, it disappeared soon after. If you still want it, you can make another one." lamp."

She said, thinking of the shape of the copper lamp, she was still shy after all, so she added: "Just don't be in front of me."

This sentence is not because of dislike, but simply because of embarrassment.Liu Zao heard it, and also learned by analogy that if it was really in front of Mr. Xie, Mr. Xie would not be angry. Most likely he would just blush and reproach him for being rude, and let her do the rest. .

Liu Zao was happy and coughed several times.

She was still sick, Xie Yi hurriedly stroked her back and touched her forehead.

Still hot.She calculated the time, and found that she had used the prescription for only two hours, and she had to wait a while before taking it again, so she said: "Your Majesty woke up and didn't eat, why don't you eat."

Liu Zao said, "Okay."

The food is prepared, it is a bowl of porridge, boiled thin, you can drink it directly, add a few pickled side dishes, it is easy to fill your stomach.Liu Zao was fed by Xie Yi, so naturally he used a lot until the bowl was almost empty, Fang shook his head and said, "I'm full."

Xie Yi didn't force himself, put down the bowl, and asked her to feel better, fetched water by himself, wiped her hands and face, and made her lie down more comfortably.

Liu Zao looked at her busy for her, and combined her gentle and virtuous demeanor with her sharp and old-fashioned appearance in court, there was no contradiction at all, it was very appropriate, and Xie Xiang was like this.

When Xie Yi put away the towel and came back, she saw Liu Zao staring at her.Xie Yi was afraid that she would think wildly again, so he sat beside her and asked, "What is Your Majesty thinking?"

Liu Zao stared at her and asked earnestly, "Are you willing to be queen?"

Chapter 88

"Are you willing to be queen?"

Liu Zao had the idea of ​​making Xie Yi his queen many years ago, but it was the first time he made it public.

Xie Yi was not surprised, but she didn't answer immediately either.Liu Zao paid attention to her expression, Prime Minister Xie brows were calm, he was thinking.Liu Zao waited quietly, and after a while, Xie Yi said, "We will discuss this matter after you recover."

Liu Zao knew that she didn't want to.

If she is willing to be the empress, she will definitely tell her at this time to make her happy.Since it is necessary to postpone the discussion until after the good news, most of them are unwilling.Liu Zao nodded, his throat felt a little congested, and he said hoarsely, "That's fine."

Xie Yi tucked the quilt up for her, and said, "Heal with peace of mind."

Liu Zao smiled.

She lay on the bed for more than ten days, and her illness came and went. Xie Yi first concentrated on taking care of her illness, but later, she also had to bring the official documents to the greenhouse to see.

Seeing this, the ministers must have a discussion.The emperor fell ill, and the officials were anxious, but there was no such thing as the prime minister, who stood by the emperor's sick bed to serve him.

Right now is an embarrassing period, Xie Yi is handing over power bit by bit, and Liu Zao is also gradually pulling in. As a result, the prime minister's power is weakened, and the monarchy's power is strengthened, some thoughtful ministers will inevitably focus on the prime minister.Xie Yi's behavior is quite strict, when she was a powerful minister, in order to act realistically, she was very domineering and would not offend others.

Now that she is weak, those who were suppressed earlier all show up, and those who are bold, their words are not very easy to hear.

Liu Zao has never been out of the palace, and has never heard of it.Xie Yi knew it.She also ignored it.The emperor's illness was repeated, and she was also taking care of the government affairs, so she really couldn't spare her hands to deal with it.She acted as if she had never heard of it, and took care of the emperor first before making any plans.

Xie Yi also had a simple idea, when she was able to free herself, she would choose one or two bad-mouthed people and kill them as an example.She can't control what they think in their hearts, but she can't say it with their mouths.

However, before she could act, Liu Zao found out.

Liu Zao was sick, although he was happy to thank him for taking care of him, but he also cared about the government in his heart.Therefore, when the illness recovered a little, he immediately rushed to Xuanshi hall.Xie Yi was by her side, so she went with her naturally.

These days, although Xie Yi has already read most of the memorials, there are also some that must be reviewed by the emperor himself.

The bamboo slips have been piled higher than the imperial case.

After Liu Zao sat at the royal case, he thought that she had a sudden high fever last night, thanked him for her, and stayed up all night, so he said to her, "There is a couch in the back hall, go and have a rest."

Xie Yi originally disapproved of her coming, and the fever subsided only early in the morning, and he didn't know if it would recur. At this time, he was worried about keeping her and went to rest by himself.
