Shen Ruqing subconsciously opened her mouth to speak. Seeing that the Empress Dowager kept her eyes on Luo Wenge and closed her mouth, she could tell that the Empress Dowager didn't even want to hear her answer when she asked this question. The meal is also to give the empress a companion, lest the empress feel targeted.

The Empress Dowager deserves to be the woman who won the harem struggle when she took office, and her mind is far beyond comparison.

Shen Ruqing once again realized that she was humble, and felt aggrieved in her heart. She couldn't stop looking at Luo Wenge's face, wanting to see how this weak queen would answer.

Of course Luo Wenge would not say bluntly that Xiao Yulan would not accept the concubine, that would offend the Empress Dowager, and would also allow Shen Ruqing to seize the opportunity to show off.

He thought about it, thinking of Xiao Yulan's move, the corners of his lips were slightly raised, but his eyes dimmed, showing loss and reluctance, and his tone was very low: "If the mother wants to do this, just ask Your Majesty what it means." , I... what advice can I have?"

That being said, his expression was totally different.

Anyone with long eyes could tell that he really didn't want Xiao Yulan to accept his concubine, his expression was lonely and sad, as if he was desperate to death.

The Empress Dowager called people over just to listen, but he didn't expect that just to listen, he would feel so sad that he couldn't help himself, and suddenly felt that this matter could not be mentioned again.

Originally, the queen was weak and unable to take care of herself in the eyes of everyone, but the Tai Hospital sent the reply and said that the queen should not worry too much, let alone be depressed.

If Xiao Yulan's acceptance of the concubine made the empress worry, things would be bad.

After all, the queen mother loves the queen, and joked: "Ai's family just asked casually. I asked His Majesty that day, and His Majesty's words were full of displeasure, and he didn't want to come. If Ai's family can help him get a concubine, he can't force him to call someone Servant, seeing the two of you like this, I probably don't want to, so let's just let this matter go."

Luo Wenge forced a smile: "I listen to the Queen Mother and Your Majesty."

Shen Ruqing also followed suit, in fact, she really wanted Xiao Yulan to accept her as a concubine, so that she could attract more women who shared her favor, and would definitely kill the queen in a sudden.

Thinking of the delicate and weak appearance of the queen in front of her, Shen Ruqing frowned slightly, looked sideways, and happened to see his tear mole, her heartbeat suddenly lost balance for a while.

A long time ago, the illusion that the empress was very similar to Luo Wenge came to mind again.

Is it because she thinks too much day and night that every beautiful woman looks like Luo Wenge, or is it...

Shen Ruqing didn't dare to continue thinking, she turned her eyes away and ate quietly. Whether it is true or not, you will know if you try it.

However, Shen Ruqing didn't wait for the opportunity to test it out, so after breakfast, the Empress Dowager let her go first on the grounds that she had a private matter to discuss with the Empress.

Shen Ruqing was unwilling and did not dare to disobey Yi's decree, so she took her maid and left on her own, walked to a distance and looked back, planning to make some desserts to visit the empress who will return to the palace later.

Luo Wenge, who was left behind, keenly sensed a sense of unfriendliness. He sat with his back straight, and looked around calmly.

The queen mother drove Shen Ruqing away, and waved away the redundant maids in the hall, leaving only him, Zooey and Taobi beside her, and there was no one else.

The Empress Dowager asked Taobi to serve Luo Wenge a cup of hot tea, and caught the little white cat running over from the depths of the hall, and hugged her in her arms, and watched Luo Wenge while stroking the cat.

Those eyes showed the meaning of being familiar with everything, and Luo Wenge's hand holding the tea cup was inexplicably unsteady.

"The empress will enter the palace for more than a month, right?" the empress dowager asked with a normal expression.

Luo Wenge put down the teacup, lowered his head and replied, "Yes."

"Since the night you entered the palace, Your Majesty has stayed in the Fengqi Palace. There are various signs that the two of you have consummated the house, and there is no rest every night. Can the empress tell Aijia when she will give birth to a big fat girl?" Where's the grandson?" The queen mother said, her eyes swept over sharply.

Luo Wenge felt that something was wrong when he heard the voice, and when he heard his scalp tingling, he said dryly: "The imperial doctor said that I—"

"Don't fool Aijia with that, Aijia has stayed in this high court for decades, won't he understand those tricks?" The Queen Mother interrupted him, her strong aura swept Luo Wenge's face like a cold wind, making him say no Tell a half lie.

The queen mother's sudden attack was beyond Luo Wenge's expectation, he was not prepared for a showdown, and it was useless to say anything else at this time, so he could only respond in silence.

He didn't speak, and the queen mother might not let him go.

The young and iron-blooded general looked at him coldly: "The Ai family was surprised before, obviously His Majesty has no feelings for Xu Jinyuan, how could he be willing to consummate the house? He was raised by the Ai family himself. It is clear, but is it a person who favors a poor woman in order to balance the previous court? Until that day when you come to pay your respects, the Ai family looks at your face, and suddenly thinks of someone, the queen knows who the Ai family thinks of?"

Luo Wenge clenched her hands tightly, her eyelashes trembling slightly, and she didn't dare to speak.

"I think you know it in your heart. He used to be the number one scholar that His Majesty suppressed vigorously. He was born in a famous family. His father who passed away was an old man with connections all over the country." The queen mother turned her eyes slightly and landed on his face, Aijia doesn't know why His Majesty wanted to cover you up, nor what kind of deal you made, but Aijia hopes you understand something."

"Please speak, Queen Mother." Luo Wenge said in a low voice.

Perhaps it was his tacitly cooperative attitude of not rebutting, which made the Empress Dowager look a bit calmer, and her tone was not as severe as before: "But no one with high authority is blind. Don't think that you can cheat the world if you act cautiously enough. There are so many small eyes in the city that you can't notice."

Luo Wenge was reminded by this sentence, and couldn't help but think that he pretended to be a queen. Maybe people knew about it from the beginning, and he didn't say it all the time because he was waiting for the right time.

It is because he thinks too highly of himself that he can make everything seamless.

He was full of annoyance, he couldn't say too much in front of the Queen Mother, and said concisely: "Thank you Queen Mother for reminding."

"Aijia's original intention was to pretend to be deaf and dumb, but you and His Majesty have moved too much, causing many forces to move around. If this continues, the internal balance of the court may be broken again. Suddenly, it will be difficult for Your Majesty to stabilize the situation. Ning It is very likely that the dynasty will be changed, which is something the Ai family does not want to see." The queen mother sighed.

Luo Wenge hesitated to speak, he really wanted to say that His Majesty had long wanted to break the balance, that the plan had fallen and was just waiting to be implemented, it was too late to say this at this time.

He didn't say it too clearly, because he thought that Xiao Yulan didn't tell the Queen Mother that as a foreign minister, he couldn't reveal it, so he had to keep it a secret.

The Empress Dowager looked at him, and said after a long while: "You should shed the golden cicada shell earlier and remove the identity of the queen. Based on the Ai family's understanding of Xu Yingping, he will attack you in a short time. If it can be done once and for all, the Ai family will look at you." Even the position of Shaoqing in Dali Temple has to be lost as soon as possible."

Luo Wenge Gao Xuan's heart finally fell. The Empress Dowager knew who he was. He breathed a sigh of relief, took off his veil on his own initiative, resumed his original voice, raised his skirt and knelt on the ground, kowtowed: "I am guilty."

The queen mother sighed softly, and gave Taobi a wink, telling her to take Zooey down with her, so there were only Luo Wenge and the queen mother left in the hall.

"Aijia is just asking about the trivial matters between you and His Majesty, and I want to know why you are willing to help His Majesty? Did His Majesty promise you to be the elder of the cabinet after the matter is completed, or did He promise that you will be half as good as you?" The Empress Dowager asked, selfishly not wanting Xiao Yulan to follow the old path, I wanted to ask him what he meant first.

Luo Wenge's original intention of cooperating with Xiao Yulan had changed, and he hadn't told the other party. When asked by the queen mother, he thought for a while, concealed the wedding night, and picked and picked and talked about it.

After hearing this, the Empress Dowager was greatly surprised: "You were threatened by His Majesty and had to make a quid pro quo to help him purge the court and unify the Ning Dynasty, but then you voluntarily resigned afterwards and became a wandering wild crane?"

"My sentence is true, the court is intriguing, people are exhausted from living, and my heart is yearning for the ordinary life of simple tea and light food. I want to sit and watch the clouds roll and the clouds go away." Luo Wenge was still kneeling without raising his head, so he would not let him The queen mother saw him lying unnaturally.

The Empress Dowager stared at his kowtow for a long time, leaned over and invited him up: "It is not considered to clear the court, and it is difficult for the two of you alone. Don't think that Xu Yingping will be able to find Wenrou Lane and Taohuawan now." It hurts a lot. As the general of Zhenbei, he looks like a reckless man on weekdays, but in reality, he is very cunning, otherwise he would not have fought with Shen Jue for so many years and still not fall. I really want to bring him down. You have to spend a lot of money.”

Luo Wenge heard the empress dowager's intention to make a move, raised his eyes and asked sincerely: "Then what should be done in the empress dowager's opinion?"

The Empress Dowager stared at him, and before telling the whole story, she asked a crucial question: "Tell Aijia honestly what is your relationship with His Majesty?"

Luo Wenge's heartbeat accelerated suddenly, his voice was hoarse and moved unbearably, and finally said in a deep voice: "Your servant."

The queen mother narrowed her eyes, her facial features were still beautiful, and there was a hint of murderous intent: "If there is a chance that you can not only get rid of the court as soon as possible, but also eradicate Xu Yingping, would you like it? Answer Aijia!"

Luo Wenge's breath was short for a moment, and he vaguely guessed the Queen Mother's intention for asking this question. His throat seemed to be blocked by cotton, and he was somewhat unable to answer.

This should be put in the past, the answer does not even have a pause, it must be willing.

Now his mood is very different. Before, he fell in love with Xiao Yulan.

If Jin Chan just got out of her shell and left the other party, he couldn't bear it and didn't want to.

It was also because of the queen mother's words that forced her to ask. Luo Wenge was more aware of his own feelings than ever before. He liked Xiao Yulan.

I don't know when I fell in love with it.

It may be that Xiao Yulan is very reasonable and unforgiving, and he is always thinking about how to help him; it may be that he has saved his life several times in time, which made him feel the warmth of his backer; , let him unconsciously remember...

All in all, he just likes Xiao Yulan. This is an ironclad fact, and no one can change it.

His non-answer made the queen mother realize that something was wrong, and her slightly relaxed face became serious again: "You don't want to?"

"Chen, I can't give you an answer for now." Luo Wenge said.

"Why?" The queen mother asked, "Did you find that your majesty is not worth it, or did you suddenly lose the joy of having power in your hands, and wanted to change your mind and become a man under one man? You should understand that if Aijia doesn't take action, your plan to clear up with His Majesty will definitely fail."

"Neither, I want to make sure everything is safe. If I can really bring down Xu Yingping by feigning death, then I will not hesitate to do so. It's just that the Queen Mother has ever thought about it. What about after Xu Yingping is eradicated?"

"Are you worried that if Xu Yingping goes down, Shen Jue will dominate the family?" the Queen Mother asked.

Luo Wenge nodded: "Of course Xu Yingping is not easy to deal with, so how can the powerful Shen Jue be easy to deal with? I want to deal with Xu Yingping and at the same time let Shen Jue's vitality be seriously injured, so that His Majesty can wipe out the Qing Dynasty with little effort." Hall."

I have to say that this idea is very good, but the Queen Mother understands how difficult it is to drive better than anyone else.

The queen mother dared to promise to bring down Xu Yingping, which was already a bold act. On how to deal with Shen Jue's issue, the queen mother could not make a firm promise.

Shen Jue was a much more difficult scholar than Xu Yingping. To be the chief assistant of the cabinet, talent and ability were one aspect, and more importantly, means.

For Shen Jue, the most indispensable thing is means.

Over the years since the Empress Dowager entered the palace, from the first emperor to Xiao Yulan, she had seen Shen Jue attack too many times.Contrary to Luo Yao, even if Luo Yao was still alive, he might not be as careful as Shen Jue.

Xiao Yulan's apprenticeship was from Luo Yao, who was far less experienced than Shen Jue, and if they really fought openly and secretly, ten Xiao Yulan might not be able to play against Shen Jue.

The seemingly peaceful situation now is all due to Xiao Yulan's technique of calling Xu Jinyuan and Shen Ruqing into the palace to balance, but if something happens to these two women, there will be turmoil in the previous court.

Among them, Xu Yingping was obviously turbulent, and Shen Jue was secretly thinking about the dark side.

The Empress Dowager rubbed her temples with a headache: "Luo Wenge, you will really create problems for Aijia."

"Queen Mother, this is a problem right in front of you, and it's not a problem caused by the minister." Luo Wenge said softly.

The Empress Dowager half-closed her eyes and looked at him, then smiled gently and said: "You said that, do you have a plan in mind?"

Luo Wenge denied it in a deep voice: "I didn't intend to, the reason for asking this is to let the queen mother give more support to your majesty. Since the queen mother is also willing to lend a helping hand, why don't you just tell your majesty directly?"

The Queen Mother looked at him meaningfully: "Some things are only suitable for the Ai family to ask you. What I said today, the Ai family does not want His Majesty to know. If Luo Shaoqing has the answer, just send someone to speak, and the Ai family will wait for the good news. "

This meant that the conversation had come to an end, Luo Wenge couldn't bother me anymore, so she put on her veil and planned to leave.

"Luo Shaoqing, Your Majesty is the place where the Ning Dynasty will prosper in the future. He shoulders heavy burdens. For the public, the Ai family does not make demands. In private, the Ai family hopes that he can marry a wife and have children like ordinary people. Do you understand?" His words sounded behind him, as if he could see through his wavering mind.

Luo Wenge blinked away the sourness in his eyes, and said in his usual voice, "I understand."

"Also," the queen mother said again, her voice was cold and ruthless, "this is the only chance Aijia gave you, you should think about it clearly."

Luo Wenge could hear the warning, if he hadn't chosen the path of feigning death, even if he succeeds in clearing the court later and communicating with Xiao Yulan, the Queen Mother would not let him go.

Faced with this kind of threat, Luo Wenge couldn't say that he was cowardly and evaded, but he inevitably felt a little rebellious in his heart, and he didn't want to agree at all.

But thinking about who the ultimate beneficiary will be when this thing is done, he can accept a lot.

I have the answer in my heart, and I won't say it now.

Luo Wenge's expression was cold: "Yes, I will retire."

He said so, but he didn't even complete the salute, he opened the door and left.

The Empress Dowager didn't care about this point, she could understand his feelings very well, probably because he was so shocked that he couldn't take it easy, the young man had too little experience, and he couldn't do it after all.

After leaving the Hall of Longevity, Luo Wenge went back to the Hall of Fengxi in a state of dismay.

Seeing Eunuch Li waiting at the gate of the hall, Luo Wenge suddenly remembered what Xiao Yulan said earlier, that the other party was waiting for him.

He calmed down, put away his emotions, and walked into the hall as if nothing had happened. Just as he climbed up the stairs, Eunuch Li ran over by the door lightly, with a look on his face that he wanted to say something.

Luo Wenge glanced at Zooey, and Zooey was so sensible that she took the accompanying maid away.

There were not so many idlers waiting in front of the door, so Eunuch Li spoke more directly: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty is taking a nap inside."

Luo Wenge didn't understand, so he nodded, his eyes filled with 'then what? '.

Eunuch Li still remembered Xiao Yulan's annoyance yesterday, which was in Fengqi Hall, followed by a series of conversations, all about liking.

When Eunuch Li was sleeping on the couch at night, thinking about those problems, he tossed and turned, and always felt that something was wrong with Xiao Yulan. Eunuch Li couldn't solve this situation, so he could only come to Luo Wenge for help. He thought that the empress, who occupied His Majesty the most time every day, could help her. Eunuch Li solved one or two problems.

"Did you show His Majesty's face yesterday?" Eunuch Li asked in a low voice.

Luo Wenge recalled meeting Xiao Yulan several times yesterday, and thought that his attitude was sincere and upright, and said in a low voice: "No, he is the emperor, how dare I show him face?"

"But Your Majesty was only angry when he came out of Fengqi Palace." Eunuch Li wondered.

Coming out of Fengqi Palace, it could only be that I made him angry.

When did that mess with people?

Luo Wenge suddenly remembered Xiao Yulan's question about the broken sleeve, was it then?

With a gentle smile on his brows and eyes, he leaned slightly and asked, "Then what happened when His Majesty left Fengqi Palace?"

"Hey, the old slave asked, but His Majesty didn't say anything. It seems that he is very angry." Eunuch Li saw that he didn't seem to know the truth, so he didn't dare to reveal too much.

Xiao Yulan said that if others know about it, their lives will be lost.

In order to enjoy his old age safely, Eunuch Li kept his mouth shut, and couldn't help reminding: "Your Majesty, the envoy once told His Majesty to be less sullen, which is not good for your health. If you want to talk to Your Majesty about something, don't act like a charade. It makes both sides unhappy, and it is useless to lose your temper."

I heard that Eunuch Li said a lot, but this sentence is the only one that speaks the truth.

Luo Wenge felt awakened by the words, he smiled: "Eunuch is right, I wrote it down."

"Your Majesty, don't be angry because your Majesty went to Xuanyi Hall, if it wasn't for the Empress Dowager's sake, Your Majesty would never have gone there." Eunuch Li said again.

For the harmony between the emperor and the empress, Eunuch Li was about to break his heart.

Luo Wenge suddenly chuckled, looking at the sad-faced Eunuch Li, he said: "I know, does Eunuch still want to say that even if His Majesty passed by, he might not have done something sorry for me? Please don't let me do it because of this." I have a bad feeling with His Majesty."

A trace of surprise flashed in Eunuch Li's eyes, and he said with a dry smile: "Your Majesty laughed at me. This old slave wants to say that Your Majesty is the Lord of the World. Since ancient times, it is impossible to belong to anyone alone. Now there are only Your Majesty and Concubine Shen in the palace. If you want more, your empress must learn to relax."

Luo Wenge had never worried about the expansion of Xiao Yulan's harem, so Eunuch Li's words were in vain.

Luo Wenge was still willing to answer, and replied in a gentle voice: "Well, I understand what my father-in-law means, so is there anything else to do?"

Eunuch Li saw that he wanted to go in, so he stopped talking, and stood sideways: "Your Majesty, if you don't dislike this old slave, please talk too much, Madam, please."

Luo Wenge also wanted to thank Eunuch Li. Knowing Xiao Yulan's attitude from these words allowed him to have a more comprehensive understanding of this arrogant and dishonest emperor.

The door of the palace opened quietly, and Luo Wenge walked in quietly.

Xiao Yulan was not around outside the living room, so she was really taking a nap, because she was being made too hard recently, and she always wanted to find a place to catch up on sleep.

Thinking of this, Luo Wenge lightly lifted the veil and looked with his head. There was no one on the bed. He turned his eyes to see Xiao Yulan who was propping his face on the small table with his hands on the bed.

Quiet and pleasing to the eye.

It wasn't the first time he saw Xiao Yulan who was asleep, but every time he saw her, his inner feelings would be different.

Xiao Yulan is a very typical handsome man, with his eyes open to show his sharpness, and his eyes closed to be as beautiful as a picture scroll, no matter how you look at it, he looks good.

Luo Wenge took off her veil and tried her best not to make a sound, fearing that she would wake up Xiao Yulan by making too much noise when she sat down, so she simply stood one step away from the other party, and slowly squatted down to look up at Xiao Yulan.

She was a little sound asleep, and she didn't even feel him coming in.

Are you at ease with Fengqidian or with him?It seems impossible to tell.

Why didn't I notice Xiao Yulan's eyelashes were so long before, like a small fan.

He pinched his sleeves and stretched out his hands, wanting to touch Xiao Yulan's little eyelashes, to see if they were soft and to touch people's hearts.

Is it true that people are so gentle and harmless when they are asleep?

His hand finally touched Xiao Yulan's eyelashes as he wished, it was a bit soft and a little prickly, which could be ignored, it felt different from touching his own eyelashes, probably this was the feeling of touching someone else.

She was so engrossed in thinking that she didn't notice that the touched eyelashes trembled slightly, and her tightly closed eyes slowly opened a crack. Xiao Yulan squinted her eyes and looked at him, as if observing what he was doing.

Seeing that the person hadn't moved for a long time, Xiao Yulan couldn't pretend anymore, grabbed his hand and pulled it in front of him: "What are you thinking?"

Luo Wenge was so startled that he almost uttered a sound, his body involuntarily threw himself towards Xiao Yulan's waist.

"Your Majesty, you..."

He didn't finish the rest of the words, they were all pressed into his throat, and he threw himself into an extremely awkward position without defense, and he didn't dare to move.

Xiao Yulan narrowed her eyes to look at his pitch-black head, her long eyelashes were trembling non-stop, her hands were steady on his shoulders, and she asked in a hoarse voice for a long time, "When are you going to lie down?"

Luo Wenge suddenly raised his head, blushing so red that he got up from Xiao Yulan's lap.

"I, I was not careful."

"I know." Xiao Yulan's eyes turned red slightly, and her voice became hoarse, "If you did it on purpose, you shouldn't be on the ground right now."

Luo Wenge didn't realize that this was wrong at first, but after thinking about it, it was wrong.

If he really did it on purpose, if he didn't stay on the ground, where could he stay?

He knew that Xiao Yulan had the answer in his heart, so he raised his eyes and saw that Xiao Yulan's gaze was always on the place where his hands were placed, his throat was slightly choked, and he could see where his hands were.

Xiao Yulan's body did not stick to Xiao Yulan's body, but her hands were still on the other's waist, tightly clutching the other's clothes, as if she was reluctant to let go.

He suddenly felt inexplicable, if it wasn't on purpose, why didn't he let go of his hand?

At this time, it seemed that everything he said was trying to get him, he moved his fingertips slightly to let go, but Xiao Yulan grabbed it.

"What do you want to say?" Xiao Yulan asked.

Luo Wenge had nothing to say, he just wanted to stay away from Xiao Yulan and be quiet.

Xiao Yulan refused to let him do that, and in this posture, she leaned over and asked, "You want to kiss me, don't you?"
