Qinse is in the imperial court, forgetting both favor and disgrace

At the end of the questioning, Li Lang ordered Chang Le to step back. Seeing the girl was disappointed and hesitant to speak, he knew what she was thinking, and comforted her with a light smile: "Jingdu is fine, but she is exhausted and has already fallen asleep. You have a good rest tonight. I will let you brothers and sisters meet tomorrow."

Chang Le was stunned for a moment, blushed suddenly, kowtowed and retreated.

Li Lang was first surprised by the girl's sudden shyness, and then realized the ambiguity in his words, and couldn't help laughing.

Back in the dormitory, Zhao Rang still hadn't woken up, Li Lang looked up and frowned slightly.

Zhao Rang's appearance does not look like being imprisoned by force, but house arrest. He was in a hurry just now and didn't have time to think carefully, but now he looks at it with peace of mind. The person who has been missing for several days has a clean and shaved face. , stretched out his hand with the palm of his hand, turned slightly to caress Zhao Rang's chin, and became more and more convinced that his deduction was correct.

He moved for a while, and seeing that Zhao Rang showed no sign of waking up, he called the imperial doctor who was still waiting in Chengxian Palace. After careful inspection by the doctor, he was relieved that he was indeed safe.

The emperor rewarded the imperial doctor, but the imperial doctor was afraid to accept it, knelt down and hesitated, and said, "Your Majesty, although the noble concubine is fine now, when I checked the pulse, her pulse occasionally became stagnant, and it seems that there is poison in your body that has not been cleared... Stupid and incompetent, it's hard to know the source... Waiting for the noble concubine to wake up, His Majesty summoned all colleagues to come together, listen and ask the three for reference, and discuss together, maybe a radical cure can be obtained."

Li Lang knew that the poison in Zhao Rang's place could not be fully detoxified, but he hadn't seen its attack for a long time. Now, after hearing what the imperial doctor said, it seemed that the poison in his body might be causing trouble. , but no abnormality was found.

The imperial doctor was apprehensive, peeping at the emperor's worried face, although he was not sure, he said boldly: "Fortunately, although the source of the poison has not been eliminated, according to what we have seen so far, there is no serious harm. The noble concubine should not work hard, and then use Peiben The medicinal treatment of Guyuan should be no harm to daily life. There is only one..."

Squeaking for a while, until the emperor impatiently urged, the imperial doctor hesitated and said: "I want to teach your majesty to know that the essence is stored in the kidneys, and the poison is not completely removed, and it will also damage the kidney qi. The imperial concubine should be... be abstinent." Better."

Li Lang was stunned and frowned: "You mean he can't have sex?"

The imperial doctor hurriedly shook his head, and stammered even more: "No, no, the principles of the world are natural. This, if the fire is agitated and self-control is forced, it will be harmful if it is reversed. The minister, the minister's admonition is widowed, modest rather than prohibition."

Li Lang nodded and retreated to the imperial doctor, leaning heavily on Zhao Rang's side, staring at his sleeping face silently, the more time passed, the more he couldn't let go, he bent down and rubbed against his lips slightly, his movements were gentle, but it still made Zhao Rang feel uncomfortable Jean half-opened his eyes.

"Alang?" Li Lang was confused and called out the nickname between the two of them. Li Lang heard mixed joy and sorrow, and smiled softly: "It's just getting late, you can sleep more. Are you hungry?"

"No," Zhao Rang said with a faint smile, still in a drowsy state, "asking each other before the bed, she is undoubtedly a good wife."

Li Lang couldn't help laughing, stretched out his hand to caress Zhao Rang's face, and said in a low voice: "Marry the emperor to start? You can think about it, the dowry must not be something that is taken lightly."

Zhao Rang's eyes lit up suddenly, and he closed his eyes and smiled lightly: "The betrothal gift... can only be the Nine Tripods of the Central Plains. The mountains and rivers are reunified, and this is used to sacrifice the heavenly father and the earthly mother. Only the emperor is suitable, isn't it?"

"You..." Li Lang sighed, most of his teasing and playful hearts were gone, he sat up straight, tidied up the slightly messy quilt on Zhao Rang's body, put his hand into the quilt, and touched the hand on Zhao Rang's side , With a firm grip, Fang continued, "I hope that one day, I can work together with you to rebuild the country. Big things are long-term plans. Don't ask me to worry about you anymore. You are showing sympathy to me."

At the end of the words, there was dissatisfaction, Zhao Rang opened his eyes again this time, the sleepiness became stronger, and the opening of the mouth was also vague: "Alang, you are a Mingjun, so you have all my heart."

Li Lang didn't answer, but stretched out his palms to cover Zhao Rang's eyes, as if scolding his young son, he said: "Don't think too much, go to sleep!"

After a while, Zhao Rang fell into a deep sleep again.

"I have to find a way to detoxify you." Li Lang murmured, got up and called the servants, and asked them to take care of Zhao Rang, wait for him to wake up, and serve him with food, clothes and bath.

The left and right sides waited for the emperor to leave the bedroom, and hurriedly followed behind. Among them, the chief said: "Your Majesty has not eaten yet, do you want to move to the Jade Restaurant?"

It was only after this question that Li Lang realized that his stomach was rumbling. Now that Zhao Rang has returned, it seems that everything can be taken care of slowly, and the anxiety of restless sleep and food has been relieved a lot.

The emperor suffered from cold eyes and cold reception since he was a child, and he cultivated frugal food and clothing. After he took the throne, he didn't change much. He didn't like to spend a lot of money to satisfy his appetite. He didn't pay attention to etiquette, he took one bite at a time, and was eating happily, when he accidentally turned his head and saw that the waiter was no longer the waiter in the jade restaurant, but his close body.

Li Lang immediately stopped chopsticks, chewed his throat, cleared his throat with tribute tea, and asked vaguely, "What's the matter?"

This personal servant is also quite old, and Li Lang has been taken care of by him since he was a child, and he knows the emperor's deepest feelings best. He usually speaks directly, but now he hesitates. After Lang took Zhao Rang out of Tai'an Palace, the Queen Mother was furious, Xingshi asked the crime, and personally went to detain the important person in Huihai.Everyone dared to disobey the Queen Mother's order, so they had to hand over the man and the Queen Mother led him back to Tai'an Palace.

Li Lang originally planned to interrogate the nun overnight. Apart from the matter of Zhao Rang this time, he also wanted to pry out the reason for the Guqin with the character "卍" from her mouth. Since this object was related to the death of Zhao Rang's eldest daughter, Then maybe Hui Hai could provide clues to Li Xian's whereabouts.

That person's whereabouts remain a mystery, and it has always been a problem for Li Lang.

How could such a person of great importance be indulged and not pursued because of the Queen Mother's selfishness?

Seeing the emperor's gloomy and ferocious expression, the servants suddenly fisted their hands on the food table, bowed and said, "Your Majesty can wait until tomorrow to move to Tai'an Palace. After all, the old lady is a kindness of life, Your Majesty think twice."

Li Lang sighed and smiled slightly: "It's not good for the country, and I'm the king of the world. Now I can only laugh at myself like this." As soon as he sighed, he stood up, his voice was quiet but powerful, "Come on, come on!" Drive to Tai'an Palace!"

But at this time, the news of Zhao Rang's appearance had also spread to the Chonghua Palace where Empress Xie was. Falling to the ground, with a dazed look in his eyes, he said to the old nanny with a sense of loss: "What should I do? The emperor doesn't even care about the queen mother because of that person, how can the prince and I gain a foothold in the palace? What are you talking about? Lord, don't you have to look at the face of that lowly servant from now on? How can I suffer this humiliation again? No... no..."

The old palace people were terrified, they hugged Empress Xie in shock, and said with tears, "Mother, Lan'er, don't let this worry you. The crown prince is young, and the sage is ruthless. You are gone. How can he live alone as an orphan? Then Concubine Liu I don't know if it's a boy or a girl in my belly, if it's a prince, the prince loses his trust, and the position in the East Palace is unstable..."

Hearing the word "Prince", Empress Xie regained consciousness, wiped away the tears she couldn't help gushing, and said sadly: "How can the prince need my mother who was kicked out of the queen's palace? He will step into the throne in the future, thinking about my incompetence." It is a blessing that my mother is not ashamed. My father and brother are still in the court, and the crown prince's position in the East Palace is strong enough—Nurse, the emperor is now even complaining to the empress dowager, how long can I be the empress? How can I bear the humiliation of being forced to return the golden seal again?"

After she finished speaking, her face raised slightly, her eyes were full of tears, and her round eyes showed determination, and she said after a while: "Although I am a woman, I am also the descendant of the Xie family. I cannot be humiliated and lose my ancestor's honor .”

"Lan'er, alas! Things are not so out of hand..." The old palace man had no choice but to cry along with him.

In the midst of gloomy clouds, suddenly a palace lady came to report that it was a maid sent by the Shangyao Bureau to bring the medicine. Empress Xie hurriedly asked the old palace lady to hold a bronze mirror, and she carefully arranged her makeup before calling in.

The concoction of Empress Xie was decocted by the old nanny herself. After the medicine was delivered, the old nanny could not help comforting Empress Xie, and begged her to take pity on the prince. She would not act rashly until the imperial decree was issued. Let's wait until the dust settles.

After the old nanny left to decoct the medicine, Empress Xie picked up the bronze mirror again, and stared at the person in the mirror. It was not a beautiful face, but it was once beautiful, but after a few days of work, the flowers fell and petals were broken.

Behind Leng Buding was a chuckle: "Empress Empress, long time no see, you are so haggard."

Empress Xie turned her head in shock, and saw that it was a young court lady standing a few steps away with her hands behind her back, smiling slightly at her.The girl is very glamorous, especially a pair of beautiful eyes with peach blossoms, which is like rippling water, which makes people think about it.

Seeing this person, Empress Xie calmed down a bit, but became angry from embarrassment, and reprimanded: "Li Ming, you can't report trespassing on the bedroom, what should you do?"

Li Ming took two steps forward and saluted Empress Xie. After the salute, he said with a smile: "Your Majesty, since you know that Zhao Rang has returned, do you have any countermeasures? That Dikun Palace is currently empty. Has the Son of Heaven ever been a person who always puts the principles of ethics in his eyes?"

Empress Xie didn't know how to respond to what Li Ming said, but she didn't want to show weakness. She could only force herself to sneer: "He, Zhao Rang, is a lowly servant, can he turn the clouds over and overturn the rain? I don't believe that the emperor would destroy himself for that lowly servant!"

In the end, she wrung the silk handkerchief in her hand, breathed a sigh of relief, and continued: "It's the two of you, mother and son, who are really living under the fence and doing sex with people. How can you have the time to worry about Xie's family?"

"Empress," Li Ming approached more and more, his smile undiminished, "You are wholeheartedly standing up for your father, your affection is pitiful and your heart is sincere, but do you know that even though you are the lord of the sixth house, you and the prince's little Life is nothing more than me waiting for nothing."

Empress Xie was furious, she took a step back in astonishment, and was about to raise her voice to call out, but Li Ming took a step ahead of her, snatching her away and said, "The prince is weak and sick, and it was your stupid mother who killed him, and you are still obsessed with it?"

Sure enough, Empress Xie swallowed the words in her mouth, and said in astonishment: "You, what did you say?"

Li Ming smiled lightly, staring straight at Empress Xie: "You have been taken care of by your confidant nanny since you were pregnant until the tenth month of your pregnancy. Does she do her best every day to cook and cook soup for you? Raising a baby? You have never doubted the old woman who raised you, have you?"

The corners of Empress Xie's mouth drooped to the limit, her eyes were straightened, and she was speechless.

Li Ming didn't wait for her to think about it, he continued to laugh and said, "Since the crown prince was born, every time he has been sick, it's because of her painstaking efforts to boil the medicine, right?"

"But... but why... why do you know? You can't know! You're talking nonsense!" Empress Xie rushed forward to Li Ming, but she fell to her knees without stumbling.

"I can answer both questions for you," Li Ming said. "One, I obey your father's order. The prince is weak and weak, so he can't learn to ride and shoot swords and spears. You don't even have the energy to deal with daily state affairs, the emperor is incompetent, and the ministers of power are self-respecting, empress, do you understand?"

Empress Xie lay silently on the ground, only her shoulders were trembling.

"Secondly," Li Ming replied with a smile after turning around, "The poison came from my mother, how could I not know?"
