Funing Hall

After Qian Yuemo woke up, she didn't open her eyes immediately.

With her eyes closed, she could smell a completely different smell from the Xueliu Pavilion in the palace. It was a bit wet, faintly salty, and it was the smell of Dengzhou.

She knew she wasn't dead.

But she really would rather die like that, she dare not open her eyes, she doesn't know how to face everything that she will face and must face.

Courage is exhausted at the moment before death.

But she couldn't close her eyes for too long.She lay unconscious on the bed, and someone came to see her every once in a while.After a while, someone came to lift the curtain to see her.Looking at it this way, Qian Yuemo couldn't pretend anymore, so she had to open her eyes.

"Your Majesty! You're awake!" The little maid's face immediately filled with joy, her eyes turned red, "My servant, call for someone!" She turned around and ran out.

Qian Yue couldn't move silently, but she also thought to herself how long she had been lying down, so long that the little maid was so pleasantly surprised when she saw her wake up.

Not long after the little maid went out, many doctors, maids and eunuchs came in one after another.Qian Yuemo was not yet able to speak, even if she could, she would not be able to ask.But she saw that there was no imperial doctor among the doctors, so she guessed that His Majesty might have returned to the capital, and the imperial doctors followed her, so she didn't know how His Majesty was.

The series of court ladies and eunuchs left behind, she was so unfamiliar that she didn't recognize any of them.All the maids and eunuchs she brought with her have disappeared, and I'm afraid there will be no good results.Thinking about it this way, the circles of her eyes were a little red. She didn't die, but killed them instead.

They were all dragged down by her, by her family.

The circles of her eyes turned red, and the doctor said softly: "Your Majesty, don't worry, there is nothing serious. Your body is just weak, and you will be better if you take care of it. Please don't worry too much, Your Majesty."

These outside doctors didn't know why the Queen Empress hanged herself. At this time, the Qian family hadn't dealt with it yet, and even if they did, the news couldn't reach Dengzhou quickly.It was only these few doctors who had to bring them for treatment to find out about the hanging of the empress, and the rest of the people didn't know anything about it.

The doctors thought it was because they were living in depression in the palace, they were frustrated and couldn't think about it, so they hanged themselves.Seeing her crying, I thought so even more, so I persuaded her to be at ease.After persuading her, he felt her pulse through a silk handkerchief, and discussed together how to use the medicine after waking up. After all, this is the queen, and there can be no mistakes.

Seeing their cautious appearance, Qian Yuemo felt even more uncomfortable.

His Majesty must have left and left her in Dengzhou, but even if she was left behind, someone treated her with such care.

His Majesty really treated her very well.It's her, her family is sorry for His Majesty.

Thinking about it this way, Qian Yuemo's tears flowed even harder.

Qian Yuemo has been carefully raised since she was a child, and her etiquette and posture are all excellent.In her entire life, she had never cried like this in front of outsiders.Seeing her crying more and more, the doctors were at a loss and knelt on the ground, not daring to speak.The unfamiliar little palace maid stepped forward and wiped her tears with a handkerchief, but she didn't know how to persuade her, she was so anxious that she was about to cry.

At this time, there was a sound of footsteps outside.

The little maid looked back and saw the life-saving Bodhisattva, she immediately got up and saluted: "Princess, you are here."

Zhao Zongning came from outside and saw a room full of kneeling people, guessing that Qian Yuemo was awake.

She was also a little afraid to move forward.Just now, she received news from her brother that the money merchant was dead and the Qian family had been convicted, and the execution would be after the first month.Since Qian Yuemo woke up, she decided to ask about her family, what should she say.

"The empress is awake." The little maid said again.

Only then did Zhao Zongning come back to her senses, she circled the soft whip in her hand, and asked the doctor first: "Why are you all kneeling?"

Zhao Zongning was so angry that the doctors were trembling and did not dare to answer, but the little maid said softly: "Your Majesty—"

She didn't dare to say it, Zhao Zongning glanced again and saw the wet handkerchief on the little maid's hand.Zhao Zongning sighed again, and then asked the doctor, "How is she?"

The doctor hurriedly said something, and Zhao Zongning was relieved to hear that there was no serious problem.

"Go down first and wait outside."

"Yes." The doctor and the maids retreated one by one.

After Zhao Zongning settled down, he walked to the bedside and looked at Qian Yuemo with red eyes from crying.

Qian Yuemo was ashamed of his brother and sister, and she had another layer of affection for Zhao Zongning, so she was even more ashamed to face Zhao Zongning.It's just that she hanged herself, hurt her neck, and couldn't turn her head away.She could only close her eyes again in vain, with tears still streaming down her eyes.

It was rare for Zhao Zongning to be dull, he wanted to reach out his hand to wipe her tears, but he stretched out his hand, but finally retracted it.

The two were silent, but it was Zhao Zongning who spoke first: "Your body is fine, don't be sad."

But they all knew that it wasn't just this thing that was sad, and it wasn't even this thing that was sad at all.After saying this, Zhao Zongning himself was a little embarrassed, and Qian Yuemo was still crying quietly.

In fact, these days, it was suffering for Qian Yuemo who was in a coma and did not want to wake up.

For her, it was even more tormenting.The scene of Qian Yuemo hanging on the beam lingered in front of her eyes for a long time, and the words that Xiao Shiyi had said to her also kept lingering in her ears.Before his elder brother returned to the capital, he didn't specifically tell her about Qian Yuemo, but just said "it's not easy for her".Qian Shang's treason is a certainty, and Qian Shang has hidden it too deeply. How much does Qian Yuemo know about her father?How will my brother deal with Qian Yuemo?

These things, together with some unknown emotions, made her very bored these days.

Zhao Zongning was bored, but seeing Qian Yuemo crying like this, he was really sad, and was about to persuade him again.

Qian Yuemo did speak, she said intermittently: "What, it's time..."

This question was easy to answer, Zhao Zongning immediately said: "Today is the Lantern Festival." After finishing speaking, Zhao Zongning said again, "Take a rest and talk less, do you want some water?"

She subconsciously wanted to change the topic, but Qian Yuemo was very cooperative and agreed.Zhao Zongning called someone to come in, and they fed water and medicine, and Qian Yuemo stopped crying.Just as Zhao Zongning's heart sank a little, he bent down and was about to tell her to relax and rest more.

Unexpectedly, Qian Yuemo stared at her, and suddenly asked: "Princess, I, father, he..." Although her voice was still hoarse, her tone was extremely calm, not at all the helplessness she felt when she was crying just now.

Unexpectedly, when he asked such a question, he stopped Zhao Zongning from asking.

When the maids heard this, they had already retired honestly, and they were the only ones left in the room.

Zhao Zongning didn't speak, avoiding her gaze.Qian Yuemo drank the medicine and water, her throat became much more comfortable, and she asked again, "Is he dead?"

"..." Zhao Zongning looked at her.

Qian Yuemo also looked at her, her eyes were still a little swollen, but her eyes had become extraordinarily clear, and asked again: "Princess, what do you want Your Majesty to do with me?"

Zhao Cong received the letter from his sister three days later.

He spread the letter paper on the table, pressed it with a paperweight, and repeatedly read the sentence at the end of the letter, "Ask my brother how he wants to deal with the queen."

To be honest, Zhao Cong also didn't know how to deal with Qian Yuemo.

Except for Xiao Shiyi, everyone who betrayed him was killed by him.He has never softened his heart towards those who want his life.

But Qian Yuemo was in his heart, so he was an exception.After all, accompanying him through the most difficult time helped him a lot, and he wasted in the palace for more than ten years.

When he left Dengzhou, Qian Yuemo hadn't woken up, and he didn't ask clearly, and he still doesn't know what Qian Yuemo was thinking.Later, he also asked the imperial doctor to have a careful look at his body, and he was sure that what Qian Yuemo gave him that day was only something that could make him unconscious, and indeed there was no other harmful medicine.

But Qian Yuemo stunned all the officials in Dengzhou at the same time, and set fire to try to let Qian Shang go, so that Qian Shang and Wan Yanliang had the opportunity to cooperate, which is also true.

He believed that Qian Yuemo didn't want to harm him, but if Qian Yuemo had told him about the money merchant's plan earlier, what happened later?

There is no such thing as having both in this world, but Qian Yuemo wants them all.

But Zhao Cong is the emperor, he only needs loyalty and righteousness to his people.

Back in the capital these days, he still spends most of his time dealing with political affairs.Wan Yanliang died, and when Jurchen was leaderless, Jurchen was a vassal state of Song Dynasty. At this time, Zhao Cong wanted to send someone there.The Jurchens are also aggressive and fierce, and there are so many people who want to be kings, they have already fought for it in the territory.

But this time, Zhao Cong wanted to choose someone who would listen to him.

In the past, when going to Jurchen to deal with such a big matter, Zhao Cong had to send money merchants if he couldn't say it.But now the money merchant is also dead. Although he is the prime minister, what Xiao Shiyi said is right, there is never a shortage of capable people in the court, and if one dies, there will be more people waiting to be used.

For example, at this time, Zhao Cong chose one of the deputy ministers to lead the team to the Jurchen. This person had worked in Honglu Temple for seven or eight years, and had even served as the magistrate of Dengzhou, so it was perfect.So far, everything is going well.

As for Xixia, when Li Liangcheng came to the throne, he killed all his brothers and sisters, and there really was no blood left in the Li family dynasty.

For Zhao Cong, it was a good thing, Zhao Cong was really glad that Li Liangcheng was so ruthless back then.Before Zhao Cong returned to the capital, he sent people to occupy the capital of Xixia.Xia Guo has been established for more than a hundred years, and has already had its own customs and culture. It is unrealistic to insist on forcibly capturing it.

Zhao Cong also didn't expect to firmly control Xixia in ten days and half a month, occupy the capital first, and then make plans slowly.

Let's talk about Liao——

"Uncle!" A child's voice sounded outside the study, Zhao Cong looked up and saw Zhao Zhongqi running in.She ran to the chair and pushed a chair towards the desk. Zhao Cong wanted to get up to help her, but she said seriously, "Rong Rong do it yourself!"

Zhao Cong was amused, so he watched her push the chair to the table, then climbed up the chair legs, climbed onto the chair and stood up.She sighed comfortably, looked at Zhao Cong, and asked with a sweet smile: "Uncle, are you reading the letter? Does Mother have a letter? When will she and Aunt Shu come back?!"

Zhao Cong covered the letter with paper calmly, picked up another one, and handed it to her: "Your mother gave it to you."

The child was very happy to receive the official letter, and immediately opened it to read.

The letter Zhao Zongning wrote to her was also simple, and she understood everything, but she was not happy after reading it. She pouted and looked up at Zhao Cong: "Uncle, Mother didn't say when she and Aunt Shu will come back."

Zhao Cong couldn't help but sigh in his heart, but he couldn't see the child being unhappy.He got up, walked around to the desk, and asked her, "Where did you go with uncle?"

"Ride a big horse!"

"anything else?"

"Go and see the flowers! There is a place of wintersweet outside the city, it is so beautiful, uncle..." Speaking of happy things, the child soon forgot the sad things, and Zhao Cong described the place of wintersweet outside the city. How beautiful.

"Where's Uncle?"

"Uncle sent Rong Rong outside the palace, and he will go back."

Zhao Cong reached out to touch the little knot on Zhao Zhongqi's head, reached out to hug her, turned and walked outside.Zhao Zhongqi asked him: "Uncle, why didn't Uncle come into the palace?"

If you don't enter the palace, you have your own reasons for not entering the palace.

He felt that his status was no longer suitable for entering the palace, and moreover, the incident in Dengzhou this time was a bit big, not to say that it was 100% related to him, but he couldn't get rid of it.Besides, the two of them had so many misunderstandings in the past, how can they all be repaired overnight.

But Zhao Cong was not in a hurry, let alone bored.

Building a relationship is often heart-pounding and unforgettable.But repairing a relationship, on the contrary, has a little more lingering meaning.After all, many regrets in the past can be filled one by one.

Zhao Cong carried Zhao Zhongqi back to Funing Hall, had dinner with her early, and put the child to sleep.

He himself changed into ordinary clothes and went out of the palace.

If the man doesn't come, he will go.
