The successive departure of the emperor, empress and even the empress dowager made many guests and ministers who attended the banquet smell something unusual.Xiao Qi's eyes were bulging, and he was about to speak to Yelu Zongche when he heard him say with a smile: "I know you are a fun-loving person. Since I brought you to the theater, there is no reason not to let you see it." Reasonable. But this is the palace, so be careful not to be caught by others."

"Okay!" Xiao Qi grinned, moved nimbly, and quickly disappeared without a trace.

At this time, in the side hall of Zichen Hall, Zhan Zhao was kneeling below with his head bowed, and Shang Qiuxia, who was kneeling beside him, was terrified.And Shang Chongyi, who is the second rank, lay beside Empress Dowager Liu and wept pear blossoms and rain. Empress Guo kept comforting her and raised her eyes from time to time to look at Emperor Zhao who was standing on the steps and staring at the lower head. Zhen.

Shang Chongyi seemed to think that the empress dowager hadn't cried enough, so she rushed to Zhao Zhen's feet and cried, "Your Majesty, you have to be the master of your concubine. You have favored that Zhan Zhao and allowed him to be in the palace." Rehabilitation, who would have thought that he would take advantage of the queen's birthday to ruin my fourth sister's reputation. How can such an unrighteous person who is so proud of his favor stay in the palace and by His Majesty's side? Please also ask Your Majesty to preside over my fourth sister. Fairness, severely punish the youngsters."

Zhao Zhen didn't say a word, just looked at Zhan Zhao below, seeing his disheveled and haggard appearance, wondering what he was thinking.It wasn't until Shang Chongyi pulled his trousers hard that he gave him a cold look.It's just that this look is as cold as ice, completely different from the usual gentle and elegant look, which made Shang Chongyi feel inexplicably cold when he saw it, and kept silent like a cicada.

Empress Dowager Liu's voice came faintly at this moment. "Is that so, Zhanwei?"

Before Zhan Zhao could speak, Shang Qiuxia knelt down on the ground and wept. "No, it's none of Mr. Zhan's business. It's me...it's the courtier who admires Mr. Zhan and pesters Mr. Zhan to complain about his love. Mr. Zhan strictly abides by etiquette and has never done anything that would damage the honor of his courtiers." , I hope the Empress Dowager will learn from you."

Zhao Zhen was slightly taken aback when he heard the words, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.Just about to say something, suddenly Shang Chongyi jumped up and said loudly: "Fourth sister, what are you talking about? A woman's innocence is as big as the sky. Although you have a slight liking for Zhan Zhao on weekdays, you can't do it." Such absurd things come. Do you know that you were betrothed to others? If such scandals are spread, how will you let my Shang family gain a foothold in the capital, and where will you put the face of your future husband's family?"

Thinking that what she has done has already ruined the family, and if her father finds out that she will be killed with a stick, Shang Qiuxia trembles with fear and dare not defend Zhan Zhao again.

Shang Chongyi saw the fourth sister flinching, straightened her back immediately, rushed down the steps, pointed at Zhan Zhao's nose, and said angrily, "You must have tricked my simple fourth sister, right? If it was she who confessed her feelings to you , you can have thousands of ways to stay away from it. But when I entered the palace, I clearly saw that you were pressing her under me. She is a weak woman, how can she restrain a big man like you? Not to mention you are also good at martial arts Gao Qiang?"

She clearly saw that it was Shang Qiuxia who was pressing Zhan Zhao, but now Shang Chongyi didn't care about confusing right and wrong for her own benefit.Although Shang Qiuxia wanted to say something for Zhan Zhao, but seeing her eldest sister staring at her with a terrifying expression on her face, she suddenly didn't dare to say anything.

"Shang Chongyi, please be safe and don't be impatient." The Queen Mother got up unhurriedly, and walked slowly to several people. "The Ai family knows that you are eager to protect your sister. But Zhan Huwei is also an important minister in the court, and this time he saved the emperor from danger. If you want to say that he is a man, the Ai family can still trust you. You should stop calling a deer a horse. The Ai family is still My old eyes are dim, but I can still see clearly."

One sentence blocked all Shang Chongyi's brewing troubles in his throat.And Zhao Zhen, who had been expressionless and indifferent from beginning to end, raised his eyelids at this moment, and deep doubt and distress flashed in his eyes.

The queen mother suddenly laughed and patted Shang Chongyi's hand. "You child, if you care about it, you will be chaotic. I didn't expect that your gentle temperament would be so fierce at a critical moment. It's just that you should not bite innocent people like this." As he said, he turned and raised his hand. Zhan Zhaoxu helped him up, and said warmly: "Guard Zhan, I have wronged you."

"I don't dare." Zhan Zhao hurriedly bowed and saluted humbly.

"The Ai family sees all of you with serious expressions, as if it's a big deal. In fact, when you think about it carefully, it's just a young girl who has been suppressed for a long time. No love? Let me tell you, it’s actually not a bad thing, and it doesn’t have to be so serious as to be innocent. Since it’s an unmarried man and an unmarried woman, why don’t you promote its good deeds, the beauty of being an adult?”

Shang Chongyi wondered: "Although the empress dowager has the beauty of an adult, my fourth sister has already made a marriage with the second son of Cui, the servant of the Ministry of officials, so this is regretting the marriage, this..."

The queen mother smiled and said: "What's so difficult about this? Zhan's guards have made meritorious deeds, and have not received any rewards. His Majesty will issue an edict personally to marry your fourth sister to Zhan Zhao. Then issue another edict to treat other families as the right age." The woman pointed it to Erlang Cui, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds?"

Shang Qiuxia was overjoyed when she heard the words, and kowtowed to the queen mother again and again: "Qiuxia thanked the queen mother, she is very virtuous, and Qiuxia will never forget it."

At this moment, Empress Guo also stood up, smiling like a flower, and took the hand of Shang Chongyi who was still hesitating: "What are you still thinking about, sister? Since the Empress Dowager is in charge of your Shang family, she will not treat you badly. You don't Hurry up and ask His Majesty for orders?"

Shang Chongyi glanced at the joyful expression on the fourth sister Shang Qiuxia's face. Although she was still unwilling, she had to accept the situation.Then he lightly moved his lotus steps to Zhao Zhen's face, but before he was blessed, he heard Zhan Zhao's voice behind him,

"Miss, wait a minute."

The empress dowager hid the stern look in her eyes, but still smiled lovingly. "Why, what else does Guard Zhan want to say?"

"The empress dowager's kind intentions are appreciated by the humble minister. I just hope that the empress dowager will take back her life."

Shang Chongyi said angrily: "Zhan Zhao, what do you mean? If it wasn't for my fourth younger sister who insisted on obsessing over you, what qualifications do you think you have to be my brother-in-law? It's good at this moment, you still despise my Shang family Is it done?"

"Ms. Chongyi misunderstood. Miss Shang has the appearance of a bright moon, and she is knowledgeable and reasonable. But Zhan Zhao is a vulgar person, and it is really embarrassing to match up with Miss Shang who is from such a famous family. Therefore..."

The queen mother smiled and said: "You don't have to underestimate yourself as a guard. Although you entered the palace with martial arts, you are deeply favored by His Majesty. You are the first military officer who has reached the third rank with the position of guard since this dynasty. It can be seen that your majesty has favored you. above others."

When Shang Chongyi heard this, his thoughts turned, as if he suddenly figured out something.He also spoke warmly to Zhan Zhao. "Guard Zhan doesn't need to say more. We will be a family from now on, and my fourth younger sister will be entrusted to you." After finishing speaking, without giving Zhan Zhao another chance, he turned around and asked Zhao Zhen for an order: "Please, Your Majesty. The decree bestows marriage."

"..."

Zhao Zhen's lips trembled slightly, as if he had said something, but because it was too soft, no one heard what he was saying clearly.

Shang Chongyi asked: "Your Majesty, what are you talking about?"

"Get out..., get out of here...." His hands were clenched tightly into fists.Zhao Zhen's temples were bulging with blue veins, and his brows were slightly frowned, as if he was deeply enduring something.Seeing the people with different expressions and ghosts, he suddenly couldn't bear it any more, and blurted out a loud shout. "roll!--"

Seeing Shang Chongyi in front of him blankly and unresponsive, he suddenly jumped up and rushed forward to grab the opponent's Hao wrist, dragged him to the door of the palace and threw him out.Turning around, Queen Guo looked at him in shock: "What's wrong with you, Your Majesty? Why do you treat Sister Chongyi like this?"

"You too, get out!" Seeing that Zhao Zhen was about to make trouble again, Xue Liang cleverly supported Queen Guo and led him out.When passing by Zhao Zhen, Zhao Zhen said indifferently: "I hope you are not involved in this matter. Otherwise, don't blame me for not remembering the last love."

After driving a group of people out of the hall, Zhao Zhen suddenly pulled Zhan Zhao who was the last to leave.His eyes softened at that moment, full of tenderness. "Don't worry, I will handle it well. I will never let you marry a woman you don't want to marry." After finishing speaking, he closed the palace door heavily.

Inside the door, only the Empress Dowager Liu E stood proudly in the middle of the hall.She looked indifferently at what Zhao Zhen did, and violently drove out the people in the hall one by one, but didn't say a word, just watched quietly.However, there was an imperceptible trace of desperation in those wrinkled eyes.

"Does your Majesty know what you are doing?"

"Of course I know. It's just my mother, I don't want to watch this ridiculous farce anymore." Zhao Zhen smiled sarcastically, but there was no smile in his eyes. "I'm just wondering why I have already sent a message to Jin Yisi to hurry up and display the official uniforms of the guards, but I still delay until now. It turns out that there is also the handwriting of the queen mother. I am just curious, how many people participated in this farce , Shang Chongyi? Queen Guo? Or that woman named Shang Qiuxia?"

The Empress Dowager's expression remained calm: "What do you think, Your Majesty?"

"No, none of them should have participated. If they all participated, then this scene is really too bad and fake. They are all just pawns of your queen mother, and they are played by a clever player like you. Without knowing it, you may be happy or sad or angry or surprised by yourself, but just set up such a ridiculous situation, what good will it do to your mother?"

The queen mother laughed and said: "Good question, what good will it do to the Ai family? Yu Shang Qiuxia can get what she wants, and Yu Shang's family has Zhan Zhao, a favorite minister of the emperor, as a son-in-law, which is of great benefit." Empress Yu can use this to keep the favored minister who is on the cusp of the storm away from the court, and Yu Zhanzhao can form a high-ranking marriage. There is really no benefit. If there is any benefit, maybe there is one. As for what it is, I have to ask His Majesty."

Zhao Zhen's heart skipped a beat, and the Empress Dowager stared bluntly, making him seem to have been peeped into his heart.

"Aijia just wants to ask His Majesty, can you not let go of that person?"

"I... don't understand what the queen mother is talking about?"

"Don't understand?" The queen mother sneered, "Well, the Ai family will marry Zhan Zhao and Shang Qiuxia immediately. This will solve the Ai family's knot."

"I am the current emperor, and there is no master in this world that I cannot do."

"So what if I am the son of heaven? Aijia is the empress dowager of the court. Aijia wants to give me a marriage. Let's see who dares to stop me!"

"Mother, don't force me!"

"So what if the Ai family forced you? If you love yourself, why should the Ai family make such a bad plan? If you are not ridiculous, why should the Ai family be like that clown who is trying to get someone else's marriage? You have to blame for everything!" The queen mother laughed angrily, Suddenly walking quickly, he opened the door of the hall and said to Liang Jianzhang, the head chief of the Hall of Compassion and Ning who was waiting outside: "Jianzhang, draw up an order for the Ai family."

Before Liang Jianzhang could answer, he saw the door suddenly closed again.

"Get out, everyone outside is going to get out, I don't want to die as far as possible." Zhao Zhen yelled while pressing down on the palace door.Hearing the chaotic footsteps leaving outside, Zhao Zhen raised his beast-like eyes and stared fiercely at the Queen Mother.

The queen mother said angrily: "Your Majesty, do you think that you can stop the Ai family? As long as the Ai family can get out of this palace gate, the Ai family can also issue a decree."

"I won't allow it!"

"Why does His Majesty not allow it?"

This question was like the last straw that broke the camel's back. Zhao Zhen's face was blank at first, and then his complex expression changed into depression one after another.He walked towards the high steps in the hall in desperation, staggered, and finally fell to the ground with a stagger, and sat on the steps. "Does the queen mother really want to know that? Well, I'll tell you. Just because I love him, I love him!—" A roar finally released the heavy feelings that were suppressed in my heart.He smiled miserably, as if laughing at the aggressiveness of the Empress Dowager, and at the same time as laughing at his own wishful thinking.

"So, I will never allow anyone to plot against him or hurt him, even if that person is the queen mother."

Those words seem to use up the last bit of strength in the body, but anyone who is not deaf can hear the determination in these words.

Sitting on the ground with unsteady steps, maybe even a thunderbolt from the blue is not enough to describe the Queen Mother's heart at this moment. She wanted to say something, but found something stuck in her throat, unable to spit out or swallow.Tears had already been pouring down like rain, and her elegant makeup was completely ruined by crying.

It was not until a long time before the Empress Dowager finally calmed down and persuaded her: "My lord, why are you so stupid? Why do you want to love a man when there are countless charming girls in the world? What's so good about Zhan Zhao? Because of leaving the palace this time, you have an inexplicable relationship with him day and night? It's all an illusion. The combination of yin and yang is the way of heaven, and there will be no results between you and him."

Zhao Zhen smiled wryly and said, "I...know. From the moment I fell in love with him, I never thought about what would happen with him."

"Then why do you...?"

"I just want to guard him. Queen Mother, whether you believe it or not, I never really thought about being with Zhan Weiwei. I am satisfied to see him every day. Besides, he never knew my love. Feelings, I... don't want him to know."

The queen mother felt dizzy for a while when she heard the words.

Has it come to this point? !If the emperor is just curious, she is not worried yet, if the persuasion fails, at most she will play with that man according to his will.But this is not the case now.For the sake of that person's feelings, her emperor was willing to endure emotional suffering, and she didn't even have the courage to confess.It can be seen that the love for that person has penetrated deep into the bone marrow, and there is no room for change.

A ray of hatred rushed from the bottom of my heart to the top of my head, and the coldness in my eyes concealed the hatred perfectly.

Zhao Zhen seemed to feel something, stood up reluctantly, went to the queen mother and knelt down, begging bitterly: "Mother mother, please, don't make things difficult for the guard, please? Maybe I'm just fascinated by ghosts for a while, maybe after a while, I won't have such ridiculous thoughts anymore."

How good would it be if it was really haunted?But, prince, is that really the case?

"I assure you that I will not neglect political affairs, and I will try my best to balance the palaces and palaces. I only have one small request, let the guard Zhan stay in Zhuyixuan to fully recover from his illness, okay? I will definitely not go one step further with him, I just want to keep him by my side like a friend during this time."

Zhan Zhao, in order to protect you, do you want my son to suffer such inhuman torture every day?

Damn you, damn you!

Aijia originally wanted to give you a good home to avoid future troubles.At this moment, it looks like I'm afraid I won't be able to keep you anymore.

The author has something to say: If you say you don’t abuse cats, you won’t abuse cats. My Xiaolong still keeps his word and vows to protect cats to the end.Dear friends who are worried that Zhaozhao will be hurt in the future, you can rest assured that although the process was very difficult, Zhaozhao has always been within the safety line and will not let him be murdered again.

In addition, I will travel abroad next week and may not have time to update the article, so I will update the article in advance next weekend.
