Your Majesty's Grace

"Hey, Your Majesty, this is not the way to the bedroom."

"The widow wants to take you to meet someone"

"Oh..." Zhao Shugong simply led the road not far away, passed through the imperial garden, and arrived.This palace is a bit simple, and it feels a bit out of place compared to other palaces in the palace, but it feels more real. After all, most of the buildings in the palace are resplendent and resplendent. After staying for a long time, it feels like a castle in the air, which is unreal.

He walked ahead and pushed open the temple door

"Grandmother"

"Shu Gong is here?" Hu Yan poked out a small head from behind Zhao Shugong

"Whose child is this? She looks so juicy." The old woman in front of Hu Yan was also dressed very simply. The material was really good, but she didn't have any complicated styles. The hairpin is rolled up, but it adds a touch of extravagance.

"Grandmother, he is my Fuya"

"Oh..." The old man squinted his eyes, half understanding

"Come here, let grandma take a look." Seeing that Zhao Shugong didn't move, Hu Yan realized that he was talking about himself, so he walked over.

The woman's hands were already covered with wrinkles, but they were very delicate. When they stroked Hu Yan's face, there was an indescribable tenderness.

"little gift"

Tears fell as she spoke, and Hu Yan felt that she must have been a peerless beauty when she was young

"Grandmother"

"I'm fine, I just want a little gift"

"Then the emperor's grandmother has a good rest, we will come to see you some other day"

"Wait" The woman wrapped a sweet-scented osmanthus cake with a handkerchief and gave it to Hu Yan

"Take it and eat it"

It would be a lie to say that he is not touched. Hu Yan was a child and few people cared about him. After Grandpa left, no elder would talk to him like this. He took the pastry and said unconsciously

"Thank you Grandmother"

"Let's play!" Zhao Shugong left with nonsense

"nonsense"

"I am here"

"Do you know why the widow brought you here?"

"The little minister doesn't know"

"Actually, when I met you in Anhe County, I thought of Ah Li."

"Your Majesty, who is Ah Li?"

"A Li is the younger brother of the widow. When the widow participated in the seizure of the heirloom, he was harmed."

"The widow often wonders why it is Ah Li... He is the one who wants to be stable the most, but he is the one who sacrificed alone."

"Perhaps, he sacrificed himself precisely because he wanted to be stable. His Highness, Ah Li, he must be very kind."

Zhao Shugong turned his head to look at Hu Yan, for a while, Hu Yan was a little at a loss

"The first time I saw you, I thought you looked like Ah Li, although later I found out that you are still much worse than Ah Li."

! !Hey hey hey, you are not being kind, you are mourning, why do you still have to step on my feet...

"But you also gave the widow a sense of trust"

"I am ashamed to be a humble minister"

"You deserve it, but if you betray the widow..."

"Nonsense will not"

He who has read countless nonsense words, but for the first time did not read Zhao Shugong's feelings

"Let's go, it's time to review the memorial"

"Yes..."

"When the widow finishes approving the memorial, I will teach you how to read"

"it is good!"

Zhao Shugong seemed to be in a good mood today, and he didn't sit in the sedan chair. The two of them walked slowly to the bedroom, one in front of the other. up

"Kings"

"What's the matter?" Zhao Shugong closed the memorial

"The person who buried the fire and medicine in the Imperial Study Room has been found out."

"who is it"

"Snake Countryman"

"The widow knows, let's go down"

"Your Majesty, there is more." Xiao Zhan handed over a gift book

Zhao Shugong grabbed the book of ceremonies, crumpled it and discarded it beside the desk

"The Widow Knows"

"Then... Your Majesty, what should we do next?"

"Put down the ritual officer, it's too early to fight now"

"Yes"

Zhao Shugong waved his hand, and Hu Yan sat beside him

"The Snake Kingdom has sent a ritual officer here, what do you think?"

"I also agree with the king's approach, but I always feel weird. Since they dared to bury the medicine in the imperial study, they must have prepared for war, but now sending the ceremony officer...is a contradiction"

Does the Snake Kingdom seek peace or war?unknown

However, the development of things was much faster than expected, in the middle of the night.Zhao Shugong and Hu Yan were woken up, and when they arrived, they found that Zhao Shugong's imperial grandmother had fallen to the ground, and beside her was the ritual officer who committed suicide

"Grandmother!" Zhao Shugong ran to the woman and helped her up

"The imperial physician! Where is the imperial physician?"

"Back to the king, already on the way"

Zhao Shugong carried the woman to the bed, turned around, and looked at everyone gloomyly

"How is this going"

"Your Majesty, in the middle of the night, when the patrolmen saw the assassin, they chased after the Empress Dowager. When they arrived, the maid outside had already been killed...The Empress Dowager was also unconscious."

Fortunately, the imperial doctor's legs and feet were fast enough, and he arrived in time, so he was not affected by Zhao Shugong's anger

"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager seems to have been poisoned. I need to study the poison for a while. I will go back to read the classics tonight. I will definitely give the king a result tomorrow." The imperial doctor knelt on the ground and said

Zhao Shugong's face was completely gloomy, and he drew out the saber that was on the side, and stabbed the dead official's face with a sword, his face was completely changed.

"Pull it down, five horses divide the body"

"Yes"

"Battle!"

"I am here"

"Assemble the imperial army, and march to the Snake Kingdom tomorrow. If I don't believe it, they won't find a bottle of antidote!" After saying that, he threw the sword on the floor and left, with the tip of the sword deeply embedded in the ground.

When Hu Yan saw this, he also made plans to accompany him tomorrow, and returned to his room early, but Luan Yu was jumping up and down in his room in his palace uniform. He took a closer look and found that the table was full of peaches

"Did you pick them all?"

Luan Yu nodded obediently, took one with his own hand, wiped it on his chest, wiped it again with his hand, and handed it to Hu Yan

“very sweet”

Luanyu danced happily, doing things completely opposite to his appearance, it was a pity that Luanyu didn't realize it

"go to sleep"

Hearing this gibberish, he climbed up to a tree in the backyard and hid himself

"If everything in this world was as simple as you, that would be great."

Hu Yan looked at the peach in his hand, he didn't have much appetite at first, he ate a couple of bites and found it quite sweet, so he ate it up, then climbed into bed to recharge his batteries.

Hu Yan really never imagined in his dreams that he would be haunted by nightmares when he grew up so big... and it was a nightmare that kept repeating and couldn't wake up

It was the first time he saw Zhao Shugong's pale face, lying on the ground, as if not breathing, no matter how much he called him, he didn't respond.

He wanted to help Zhao Shugong up, but saw that the dream became more and more blurred, Zhao Shugong disappeared, only his hands were pinching a person's neck, but he couldn't see his face clearly, it was almost dawn when Hu Yan woke up from the fright.He was really not in the mood to sleep, and he still had some headaches, so he simply sat up and waited for dawn, so that when the maid came to call him, he was stunned for a moment

"Lord Hu, Your Majesty wants to see you"

He had changed into his official uniform a long time ago, got up and followed the palace servants away

"Kings"

When Hu Yan arrived there, he discovered that besides Zhao Shugong, yesterday's imperial physician and Xiao Zhan were also in the bedroom.

"Repeat what you just said"

"The poison in the Empress Dowager can be cured, but only Wangyang Mountain in the Snake Kingdom has the antidote, there is no other way"

"Wait, are you saying that even in the Snake Country, there is only one mountain, Wangyang Mountain, that has the antidote?"

"Yes, the snake industry is well developed in the Snake Country, but no one dares to approach Wangyang Mountain, because there is only a century-old python on Wangyang Mountain, and only the lotus fruit that has been licked by him can fight poison."

"Originally, the time limit for sex should be half a month, but the empress dowager is already a rare year... The humble minister is useless, I'm afraid, it can only be delayed for ten days"

"Go down"

"Yes"

"My widow, I plan to go to Wangyang Mountain in person."

"Your Majesty...this is a trap" Regardless of whether you can get the lotus fruit, if Zhao Shugong's whereabouts are exposed and the people of the Snake Kingdom surround the mountain, it will be difficult to fly even with wings!

"The widow knows" Zhao Shugong turned around, as if he was thinking about something

"Xiao Zhan, tomorrow you will lead the army to march to the Snake Country, and prepare a fast horse for the widow."

"Yes" Xiao Zhan took his order and retreated. For a while, there were only the two of them left. Hu Yan was still thinking of a better way, but Zhao Shugong spoke first

"During the time when the widow is away, you can manage the government on behalf of the widow. Tomorrow, the widow will make you the regent"

"!! Your majesty...won't you take me there?"

"Um"

For some reason, the dream of last night flashed through Hu Yan's mind, Zhao Shugong's pale face was still vivid in his memory

"Don't worry, nothing will happen to the widow"

"Your Majesty, let my servants go together."

"no"

"Kings!"

"The widow said, no!"

"I had a dream last night." Zhao Shugong was really moved, and stared at Nonsense in a daze, after all, both of them had experienced the power of dreams

"Only if I go, can I get the lotus fruit"
