Gu Qingci

On the second day when the court opened, when I saw her, I tried my best to get rid of the chaotic thoughts, and devoted myself to the court affairs.

The first day of Tianjia's four-year reign was relatively busy, mainly talking about what happened during the Chinese New Year, the progress of the construction of the Grand Canal, and the specific matters of the vassal state's pilgrimage.

General Nangong presented the situation of the changes in the Northern Qiang. Based on the results of the previous discussion, he proposed that Daxing could preemptively strike.

I proposed the construction of the central part of the Grand Canal, and Xu Wei was the first to take the lead in opposing it, saying that the war with the Northern Qiang was getting tighter and the people's livelihood and people's livelihood should not be put on it.

I secretly paid attention to Hu Zhongli, he didn't have a good expression, he kept holding the wat board and didn't speak.

With the same bad expression as him, there was also the one sitting in the high hall.

When Liu Yueying went to court, there was no resemblance to the appearance I was used to, and her stern appearance was even worse than when I first saw her.

Her left arm rested lightly on the handle, a golden bracelet dangled from her wrist, which complemented the bright red court dress, and her right finger slowly stroked the ring on her left hand, not showing off her anger.

In the past two years, she has become more and more full-fledged. She took power out of the hands of the former emperor and old ministers bit by bit, and ruthlessly copied the homes of many old officials who relied on the old to sell them.

We courtiers below are noisy and chaotic, she stares above without saying a word, and she can't find the focus of her eyes, as if no one is looking, and it seems that no one's actions can escape those eyes.

I was very sensitive to find that she looked bad today.Although it was somewhat covered by the tassels of the dragon crown, his mental state was by no means as usual.

I could figure out what was the reason with my feet, I lowered my head guiltily, not daring to look any further.

The last thing that the court decided today was that General Nangong sent his deputy to immediately lead the troops to Northern Qiang to join the troops stationed there last year.

After this matter was finished, Chang Shi announced his resignation.Naturally, the ministers could only leave after the emperor left, so they quietly waited for the imperial driver to leave below.

Liu Yueying spoke surprisingly little today, but the speed and intonation of her speech could not be heard abnormally.

But when she was retreating, she actually had to hold on to the handle to stand up, and was immediately helped by the attendant to go down the steps on the left.

No, her steps were too wobbly, not stable at all.

My anger rose to my chest, and I was always worried that something would happen.The next moment, I heard the officials shouting loudly: "Your Majesty!"

Liu Yueying fainted, and the moment her body slid down, the attendant raised her weight, and the little eunuchs next to her came over to help her, and then directly moved the dragon chariot into the Golden Luan Hall, and sent her to the bedroom.

I couldn't vent my anger when I mentioned it, and my heart suddenly panicked, the surroundings were in chaos, and I, the prime minister, was required to preside over the situation.

Steady the courtiers, called the imperial physician, Hu Zhongli gave me a short, cloudy glance, then turned his head and walked in a hurry.

When the crowd receded like a tide, I stood alone in the center of the Golden Luan Hall, and the feeling of being at a loss drove me crazy.

Obviously, what happened in such a short period of time made people feel that "the court ladies are like flowers all over the spring palace, but now only partridges are flying".If she really has three pluses and two shortfalls, the whole Daxing will be turned into a mess.

And the culprit, it seems, was me.

The anger that I had nowhere to vent yesterday, if I was alone for a long time, I could suppress it, and then act as if nothing happened in front of her.If you regard yourself as a dutiful subject, and it is only natural that your life is plotted by the monarch, how can you forgive or not forgive.

What if... you don't just regard yourself as a courtier?

At that time, she refused to let me go, and I kept facing her in anger, and I didn't care about anything.

I have to admit a fact - at that time, I didn't treat myself as a courtier at all.

This is a fact that I have denied many times, and now it seems that I am deceiving myself and others. I am quite ridiculous.

As for the future, let's take one step at a time. After all, I haven't become a royal husband yet, so I can only talk like this for comfort.

Although her calculations made me very angry, but yesterday I was vented out of selfishness, and now only guilt and guilt remain.

I wish I could spread my wings and fly to her side immediately, but I can't. What I should do now is to go to the Yizheng Pavilion to review and deal with today's affairs, and to pretend to be okay with the officials, so as to stabilize the hearts of the officials.

The setting sun was low, my limbs were sore, it was another busy day.Standing up slowly, after thinking for a long time, he still decided to go to the inner palace.

She was actually able to faint while going down, this state is really not reassuring.

The emperor was in a coma, and the security in the inner palace was more than doubled than before, and several people from the Lei Banner Army were also seen.When I walked to Chaofeng Palace, the guards at the gate stepped up at least twice, and the stunned young man at the front didn't know me and wouldn't let me in.

Some couldn't laugh or cry, and were unwilling to use the prime minister's airs to force others. After all, under normal circumstances, if the prime minister wanted to see the emperor, he would not meet in the palace; what's more, it was not a normal situation now, so there was no reason to go in.

After thinking for a long time, I remembered that there is a very hidden dog hole in the backyard of the bedroom, maybe I can get in.Thinking about it with the mentality of giving it a try, Chang Shi happened to come out at this time.

Seeing me here, he understood, and welcomed me into the gate of Chaofeng Palace without saying a word, and then whispered: "My lord, be careful, the emperor's dragon body is sick, and everyone doesn't want to see it." Yes, it will inevitably break everyone's mood. If someone's words offend you, I hope Haihan."

Chang Shi is an old man who has served the two monarchs. He has a high prestige in the inner palace and usually works hard without complaint.He was the one who welcomed me in and told me so in a low voice, so of course he agreed.

After entering the inner hall, I realized the meaning of Chang Shi's words.Liu Yuehua, Imperial Physician Mu, and Lei Yi were all there, Pianqiu looked very bad, and Wuxia stood aside and didn't dare to show her anger.

Before seeing Yueying, Pianqiu winked at me, walked to a place where no one was around, and had something to say to me.

"I don't care what official position you are outside, but inside you are the emperor's servant. I have searched through the "History of the Harem" and I can't find anyone who is like you." She spoke with great weight, It seems to have endured me for a long time.

That's right, the emperor shares the bed with me every day, and it's inappropriate for her to say something. Now that Liu Yueying has been made like this by me, it's no wonder she isn't angry.

"Emperor... what's going on?"

"Your Majesty, Lord Yang knows better than anyone else, right?" She stared at me with piercing eyes, "You must know that the emperor's health is not very healthy. You know, dare to do such a thing?"

Tongue tied, hard to argue.It's true that I did something wrong, and I was so angry that I messed with her so many times in just one morning, I couldn't count it.

"Then why is she unconscious now?"

"Physician Mu looked at it and said that he hadn't had a good rest for a long time, his physical strength was weak, and," her tone slowed down: "Don't do that kind of thing."

"Haven't had a good rest for a long time?" She frowned, obviously she slept soundly in the past few days when I came back.

"Yang Hui, I really have never seen a servant who is more dull than you." Pianqiu sighed, and paused for a long time before saying: "When you are not here, the incense in the bedroom is different. Really can't see what the emperor means to you?"

I know, I know now, but I dare not respond.

"When there was no you in the past, it was common for the emperor to suffer from insomnia. The incense burned in the palace contained a large dose of medicinal herbs for calming the nerves." People who think too much and have too many things in their hearts are prone to being unable to fall asleep.Not only that, but she also seldom talks. She hides everything in her heart and does not tell others. It is very uncomfortable to keep so many secrets by herself and let them rot.

"I was wrong, and I dare not do this again in the future." Honestly apologized.

"Save what you said to the emperor, it's useless to tell me." Pianqiu didn't give me face at all, "The emperor came back yesterday in a very unhappy mood. I haven't seen her like that for a long time. She is in a bad mood." It's all on the face, and I don't want to eat."

...Will she have any reason to do this as a last resort?I didn't ask clearly, and it collapsed.Treating her like that, my emotions have been vented, but she is already bored, and she is forced to suffer such inexplicable anger, I am afraid it will be even more uncomfortable.

In this way, I am really a selfish person.How can I be worthy of her like this!

==

As dusk fell, everyone dispersed.She drank the medicine, but she still didn't wake up. I was very anxious, but the imperial doctor said that the emperor is too tired, and it would be better to sleep for a while.

Pianqiu also took Wuxia outside to guard, and there was only me and her lying on the bed inside.

Liu Yueying fell asleep, her complexion still hadn't returned to rosy, but turned pale.

I don't know if I'm being affectionate, but when I don't sleep with her, she's not clingy at all, and she won't lie on her side and hug her in a ball, that's the most regular sleeping position, she refuses people thousands of miles away.

I was used to sleeping with her before, and I didn't feel it. Now I was sitting on the ottoman beside the bed, and I found that she was also very majestic when she fell asleep.

This may be the temperament that has entered the blood, which is integrated with the whole person and cannot be separated.

Hearing her even breathing, he secretly reached into the bed under the pressure, looking for her hand.

Unexpectedly cold, cover her.

The next day the emperor didn't wake up and couldn't go to court. Such a big event quickly exploded in the court, and all kinds of rumors were flying all over the sky.Among them, the rumor is that someone from Northern Qiang sneaked into the palace and secretly drugged the emperor, which caused the emperor to fall into a coma.

I knew the truth, so I didn't care about these rumors, but they tended to become more and more serious, and now even the folks knew more or less.

This is a bit strange, the rumor spread so fast, could it be the result of someone deliberately manipulating it?Otherwise, even the common people will not know, and people will panic for a while.

On the second day, I naturally went to Yizheng Pavilion again during the day, and when it was almost dusk, an urgent report came—Bei Qiang had made a move.

A very powerful main force of the Northern Qiang began to go south, attacking Beizhen violently.It was neither too early nor too late, and the war started on the second day after the emperor was in a coma. It was hard not to make people suspect that there were spies in the palace.
