Through the palace of the king of subjugation

After Xiao Yao entered the door, he gently pushed the bolt on the door, and then he heard sleep talking in the bed, he hurriedly lit a candle, and walked to the small wooden bed with the candle in his hand.

"Your Majesty?" He called Li Yu softly.

"what--"

Li Yu woke up from the nightmare and turned over and sat up in a jerk.

"Don't be afraid, Your Majesty! It's Xiao Yao, a slave..." Xiao Yao patted Li Yu's back, "Are you being haunted by a nightmare again?"

Li Yu panted heavily, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses, and said wearily, "No...it's okay..."

"Didn't you take soothing decoction today?" Xiao Yao sighed, "It's been two months since the new prescription was changed, so it's not worth it so soon?"

Li Yu seemed to be still immersed in the nightmare just now, staring blankly at the darkness ahead, speechless.

"Should the copper cover be cold?" Xiao Yao got up and put the candle in his hand on the candlestick and put the lampshade on it, "Since your majesty is awake, take it out, I will boil the pot of hot water and pour you a new one." .”

The room finally lit up, and through the light, Li Yu saw that Xiao Yao was still wearing a bamboo hat on his shoulders.

"You went out?"

"Your Majesty fell asleep." Xiao Yao lit the charcoal fire again, "Lord Chen sent someone to deliver a secret letter to the palace, and my servant will fetch it tonight."

Li Yu let out a long breath and rubbed the throbbing eyebrows.

Just now, a nightmare that had tormented him for nearly ten years came again, and he woke up in a trance, scaring him so much that he forgot such an important thing.

He stretched out his hand to take the letterhead in Xiao Yao's hand, and Xiao Yao wisely went to the charcoal basin to start a fire.

Before the inspection of river channels and embankments, Chen Yu had already sent people to carry out the inspection in secret. Even the rectification plan and the budgeted silver expenditure had been verified. This inspection was just a formality; the real purpose was to inspect the water conservancy and fields.

According to the governors of Wujun and Lin'an, the fertile land in the two places was soaked by a big flood last year, and no crops will grow this year; the flood also destroyed many irrigation facilities, and the grain will be lost.

This matter seems to be well-founded, but how much good land has been destroyed, to what extent, when will it be restored, and how many irrigation canals have been washed away. Is it repaired or rebuilt?

Chen Yu and Li Yuyuan were in Jiangning, and they were blocked by Zhou Zheling, everything was blacked out.

The river course and embankment are right there, and Chen Zhen can send someone to investigate quietly.

However, when inspecting the land and water conservancy, a large number of materials and drawings are locked in the warehouse of local officials, and they are all from Zhou Zheling; without the approval of the court, it is impossible for Chen Zhen to obtain it quietly.

It would take a lot of manpower and time to measure and judge by people's hands and feet. If there is no support from the court, it will take until the year of the monkey to get results by relying on those people under him to investigate secretly.

Xiao Yao lit a charcoal fire and sat on the water. When he turned around to look for the copper mug that Li Yu was holding in his arms, he saw the emperor's brows were deeply frowned.

"Your Majesty..." He worried: "Is it not going well?"

"The inspection of the river and water conservancy is over, and it is almost the same as Chen Yu's previous secret inspection..." Li Yu's eyes were still calm as he spoke.

Xiao Yao was puzzled and said, "That's a good thing."

"But the next inspection of the fields and water conservancy will encounter some obstacles." Li Yu folded up the letter, got up and handed it into the flames of the charcoal basin, muttering in his mouth: "I knew it, it wouldn't be that simple .”

Xiao Yao looked at Li Yu worriedly, "Your Majesty, you should worry less. You have been staying here these days, so you can't sleep well..."

"Well, I know. Chen Yu also said that he will find a way to deal with it." Li Yu got up and patted Xiao Yao's shoulder as a comfort, "Did his people bring anything else?"

"Chen, Master Chen, he said..." Xiao Yao stammered, and the worried eyes that had just looked at Li Yu suddenly began to flicker, "Your Majesty is still young, you should forge ahead, don't, don't indulge in beauty and pleasure..."

Seeing Xiao Yao's evasive expression, Li Yu suddenly laughed.

It's not that Chen Jin doesn't understand his situation, but Chen Zhen is a too old-fashioned person after all. He is worried that his spring night will be bitter and the day will be high, and the king will not go to court early from then on.

Even Chen Yu was worried about this, so in the eyes of the world, what kind of unbearable appearance should Li Yu look like.

After all, it is very difficult in this world to understand a person, let alone understand.

At this time, outside the window, Bai Gull, one of the "people of the world", is quietly watching everything in the side room.

He slipped through the window when Xiao Yao opened the door and entered the room. The window was open with a wide slit for ventilation. His hands and feet were very light, and no one noticed anything unusual.

But he had a panoramic view of the strangeness in the room.

At this moment, the little emperor in front of him completely deviated from the empress Shang Ning in the history books, and slowly approached the vague shadow in his heart.

So, what is the relationship between Nanny Su and the little emperor?Who is Xiaobai?Also, in Li Yu's dream just now, there seems to be another name...

The previous Bai Gu may have had countless opportunities to get the answer, but he never took it to heart.

He has always been just a bystander, what he read before was the records in the history books, but now he just wants to watch the records walk around him again.

He never thought he would fit in here, belong here.

The sense of belonging is something that he has been missing for more than [-] years, even in the society he was familiar with before.

Seldom get close to people, almost never had a stable intimate relationship, family, friendship or love——

This makes him difficult to empathize with.

The professor of the history department has seen too many dynasty changes, which makes people have a special kind of calmness. At some times, it seems that it is almost a kind of indifferent onlooker.

Because they know too well how the torrent of history engulfs everything and rolls forward, which cannot be tampered with.

But when he was no longer a pedestrian who stopped and stayed on the shore, but became even the smallest grain of sand in the torrent, he felt that he should at least be able to decide the way he would flow to the end.

The character and thinking patterns formed over the past 20 years are like the direction of history, and they are not so easy to change.

White Ou didn't think about changing anything, until this moment, Ou Niao still longed for the sky outside the palace; but at this moment, Ou Niao also wanted to comfort the boy in front of him——

Even with just one song.

It was as if an old couple who met by chance were willing to cover him without asking why, as if he had been silently helping Madam Su push the cart onto the bridge before; there were not many reasons.

This has always been the very simple code of conduct in Baiou's heart. He only does what he wants to do at the moment without affecting others.

Maybe it's just the most genuine kindness.

But the white gull who rarely gets involved with people doesn't know that when there is another person in what you want to do, it will become troublesome.

Li Yu couldn't stay out of the dormitory, and for many days in a row, he couldn't even find a chance to meet the little emperor face to face.

After the freezing rain, the feeling of winter is getting stronger; but the hall of Yannian is still as warm as spring.

"Is the emperor still not going to court today?" Zhou Zheling sat in front of the bronze mirror in pajamas and was served by Zhou Muyun, while a room full of maidservants stood aside holding washing and grooming utensils.

"Yes." Zhou Muyun combed Zhou Zheling's bun, and replied politely, "The servant Gao just came to deliver a message this morning."

Zhou Zheling randomly selected the hairpin rings in the brocade box, "It's okay to be bored in the bedroom."

"I went out yesterday." Zhou Muyun meticulously combed Zhou Zheling's hair into a bun to cover it up, "Your Majesty ordered the pavilion in Guangming Palace to be surrounded tightly with a cotton curtain, and then a dozen charcoals were lit. The pots are filled with green plants cultivated in the greenhouse, making it look like a spring feast." "Really?" Zhou Zheling sneered, "It's only been a while, and the emperor is already tired of playing with ordinary things, and is starting to toss new tricks gone?"

"Your Majesty had a lot of fun. I played until late at night yesterday. The wind couldn't bear it until I went back to the bedroom." Zhou Muyun still said respectfully, "I heard from the servant who went to tidy up that His Majesty liked it very much. Keep all the arrangements, and no one can approach without his order."

Zhou Muyun combed her hair in a bun, turned around and cleaned her hands in the copper basin, and was about to change Zhou Zheling's clothes. When she turned her back, she added: "I think I have to go today."

The white gull who was taking a bath yesterday missed the grand "spring wonder", and saw the overly exaggerated pavilion when he entered the Guangming Palace early in the morning to be on duty.

He looked at it from a distance, slightly frowning.
