Emperor Cheng of Chu also came to Zhonggong after he came down from court, and he was not surprised when he saw Cui Shi in Zhonggong.

However, that night, Emperor Chu Cheng stayed in Guanju Palace again.

Qian Momo carefully took out the hairpin from Empress Zhou's head, and said angrily, "The Cui family will stay in the central palace, saying that they want to serve your meal, the empress, but in fact they want to seduce your majesty."

Empress Zhou played with Zhu Chai, and said with a half-smile, "Since she has a heart, if this palace is not perfect, wouldn't it be a villain?"

Qian Momo said: "But ma'am, if Cui Shi gets his way, how will your plan with His Highness proceed? His Highness still has to go to Fengzhou, and he doesn't know how many years it will take before he leaves. If Cui Shi becomes popular, wouldn't it be To trouble His Highness?"

Empress Zhou said: "You, you just worry blindly, it's still nothing. There are so many women in the harem, do you think she can get what she wants if she wants to?"

Why did Emperor Chu Cheng not have many heirs? Is it because there are not enough women in the harem, or are the women in the harem unable to have children?

neither!

It's because there are too many women in the harem and their hearts are too complicated, so many concubines can't give birth even if they want to.

Are there still few women with one dead body and two lives?

Thinking of this, Queen Zhou's eyes dimmed a bit.

If she hadn't been calculated by others, her Zhiyuan would not have been weak since she was a child and died young.

Empress Zhou tightened her hand holding the hairpin slightly, her eyes turned cold: "Don't underestimate our Majesty, for his throne, he can be more cruel than anyone else."

How well Qian Momo knew Empress Zhou, seeing Empress Zhou's appearance, she knew that she thought of His Highness the Second Highness again, she sighed softly, feeling pain in her heart.

Her young lady used to be free and unrestrained, she was a heroine who went to the battlefield and killed the enemy bandits. She always wanted to marry a husband who could lift the case and have a pair of lovely children.

But she was born in a Zhou family and was doomed to fail to fulfill her wish.

She became the queen of the motherly world, competing with countless women for her husband, and did not keep her blood relatives' children, so she stayed alone in the magnificent palace.

In Niangniang's own words, she is now a canary in captivity, and she has even forgotten what freedom is like.

Qian Momo's eyes were red: "Miss..."

Empress Zhou said: "It's okay, wait for Jinzhi to come back from Fengzhou, and when the land and mountains of Dachu are completely handed over to him, I will go out of the palace to travel, to see all the places I wanted to see before, and to see the places Zhiyuan wanted to go as well." Walk around, and finally find a place with beautiful mountains and rivers to retire."

Qian Momo wiped away the wet marks from the corners of her eyes: "This old servant is with the empress, serving the empress."

In fact, Empress Zhou seldom regretted her own destiny. She fought against fate when she was young, but her struggle would never be able to overcome the emperor's fate, because her struggle might bring disaster to the family, and perhaps make the century-old Zhou family die. destruction.

In this world, many men despise women's incompetence, thinking that the meaning of women's existence is to help their husbands and children in the backyard.But in fact, many struggles are caused by women, and many successes and failures are also because of women.

Xu Shi was still worried about Lu Heng, and Xu Shi wanted to leave him a concubine before Lu Heng left. When Emperor Chu Cheng was having dinner with Queen Zhou, he suddenly said, "Queen, I want to give Jinzhi a marriage so that someone can take care of him personally." , what do you think?"

Empress Zhou paused for a while, her eyes flickered, and she said with a smile: "Your Majesty wants to give Jinzhi a marriage. Which girl?"

Emperor Chu Cheng said: "If it was Jinzhi in the past, he would have chosen the daughter of the prince and general Xiang's family. But now he is just a commoner, and his wife is too high-ranking. I am worried that he will not be able to suppress him. Furthermore, the main purpose of giving Jinzhi a marriage is to find someone to serve him, I am afraid that a noble girl from a famous family does not know how to serve people."

Empress Zhou was trembling with anger in her heart, but her face remained calm: "Your Majesty is very considerate. If you let the concubine choose, the concubine will also choose a gentle and virtuous wife for Jinzhi."

She took a deep breath, and then controlled the urge to put all the food on the table on Chu Chengdi's head, and continued to smile: "Your Majesty has not told my concubine, which girl is the one you are interested in?"

Emperor Chu Cheng said: "It's the second girl of the Shangshu family of the Ministry of War. The queen is also Jinzhi's mother, and she also cares about Jinzhi's lifelong affairs, so I will leave this matter to you. The palace has not been lively for some time Well, in a few days, you will gather your concubines to hold a plum appreciation banquet, and invite more princes and noble daughters to come to the palace for a walk, so that their young people can get in touch with each other more, and it will be lively and lively."

Empress Zhou: "..."

She has a lot of bad words in her heart and doesn't know how to say them!

Empress Zhou reluctantly ate a few mouthfuls of the food, which was tasteless.

With her intelligence, how could she fail to guess what Emperor Chu Cheng was planning?

The surname of the Minister of the Ministry of War is Cui, and the second daughter of the Minister of the Ministry of War was born in a house, and there is an eldest daughter who is born on the top. Her position in the Minister of the Ministry of War is neither awkward nor embarrassing.But the problem is not the background of the second girl from the Shangshu family of the Ministry of War, the problem is that the families behind her, the Cui family and the Zhou family, are now in a state of irreconcilability, and asking her to match the second daughter of the Shangshu family of the Ministry of War, He Jinzhi, is to throw away all the bad guys do it for her.

Let's not talk about Jinzhi's current status, whether he will go to Fengzhou in the future.As for his physical condition, no one knows how long he can live. No matter which family's girl marries him, she will be a widow.

She knew very well that what Emperor Chu Cheng said to her was never a discussion, but an order!

She has to get this done!

Regardless of Jinzhi's life or death, the second daughter of the Shangshu family of the Ministry of War must be Jinzhi's wife.

After Emperor Chu Cheng left, Qian Momo hurriedly asked the servants to retreat, and said worriedly, "Your Majesty?"

Empress Zhou gritted her teeth and said, "I'm fine. Go ask someone to prepare pens and ink, and I need to draw up a decree."

Qian Momo knew how much Empress Zhou didn't want to draft this order, but she had to obey His Majesty's order, she had to be this bad person, so she could only comfort her: "Madam, according to His Highness's wisdom, he will understand you, knowing that you are too. Involuntary."

Empress Zhou waved her hand weakly: "I know, I'm just worried..."

She didn't continue talking, and went down the front hall with the support of Qian Momo.

A copy of the decree was revised many times by Empress Zhou before she asked someone to send it to Lu Heng.

The queen's decree was delivered to Lu Heng with great fanfare, and the eunuch who announced the decree was sent away. Lu Heng still had that neither salty nor indifferent appearance, no one could see the joy or anger from his face.

After a while, he suddenly lifted his lips and smiled. There was a casual smile on his handsome face, but it made people feel cold for no reason. The coldness was even worse than this icy world. .

For a moment, the servants in the mansion even felt that their son was an independent person, walking alone in this turbid world, clearly close in front of them, but seemed far away in the sky, clearly within reach, yet out of reach .

The housekeeper stood behind Lu Heng with his head bowed, and there was a cruel look in his lowered eyelids.

He went to kill the Cui family daughter!

Lu Heng slowly put away Yizhi, and the wanton smile on his face also subsided. He turned to look at the butler, and said meaningfully: "Fighting and killing are never a good way to solve problems. Without Miss Cui and Li The second girl, the second girl Zhang, can only get married once and for all according to the decree."

The housekeeper said: "But my lord, when the second girl Cui enters the mansion, she will definitely..."

"It's not a difficult task." Lu Heng raised his chin slightly, waved to the butler, and said in a low voice, "When Rongyao comes back, you can help me with something."

Lu Heng whispered a few words into the butler's ear. After the butler heard it, his eyes widened in surprise: "Is it okay to do this?"

Lu Heng said: "Just get ready."

The butler hesitated for a moment, then nodded heavily.

Lu Heng returned to the bedroom with the Yizhi in his hands, and casually threw the Yizhi on the table, while he flipped through the miscellaneous notes about Fengzhou.

A hundred years ago, Fengzhou was rich in products, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment.

But decades ago, Fengzhou suffered from severe drought year after year, and the inaction of the imperial court led to countless refugees. The once bustling towns became empty and deserted in a short period of time. Later, Fengzhou was dominated by refugees. Gradually no longer controlled by the court.

Up to now, Fengzhou has become a place of chaos.

Three years ago, Fengzhou encountered severe drought again, Fengzhou and several surrounding cities were affected, the people were displaced, and the situation was precarious.

The bandits who occupy the mountain as king mostly make a living by robbing passing convoys.

There are more caravans being robbed, and fewer caravans are going to Fengzhou, and Fengzhou is gradually being closed, becoming a paradise for criminals to escape.

Emperor Cheng of Chu exiled Lu Heng to Fengzhou, which shows how much malice he has towards him in his heart

When Lu Heng was reading these miscellaneous notes, Lu Jinzhi often floated out of the jade pendant. When he saw the words on the book, he seemed to see the people in Fengzhou struggling to survive. His brows were full of sadness, but he didn't know what to do. That's good.

The state has been in chaos for so many years, and the court has tried to find a way to rule it for so many years, but there is no effective way.

Lu Heng flipped through the book very fast, and finished reading a miscellaneous note in a short time. Seeing that Lu Jinzhi was still outside the jade pendant, he smiled and said, "Is Emperor Chu Cheng your biological father? Fengzhou, doesn’t he know that all the demons and goblins are living in Fengzhou?”

Emperor Chu Cheng must be his biological father, because their era is different from Lu Heng's later generations. Women in their era pay attention to three obediences and four virtues, and they pay attention to obedience and death.

The mother and concubine in my memory are virtuous and gentle. She was ordered by her father to enter the palace as a concubine when she was a teenager. Emperor Chu Cheng was the only man in her life.

Lu Jinzhi smiled wryly, "He is my biological father."

Lu Heng made a 'tsk' sound: "The tiger's venom doesn't even eat its babies! Emperor Chu Cheng is even more vicious than a tiger. Why didn't you rebel against such a father?"

Lu Jinzhi: "..."

He actually regrets it now.

At the beginning, when the emperor favored the demon concubine and could not tell right from wrong, the rebellious Qing emperor should have punished the demon concubine, instead of worrying too much and exhausting himself, and implicating Zuo Ping and others.
