Through the palace of the king of subjugation

After Grain Grain, the weather became more and more unreasonable. Even though it was as gentle as the south of the Yangtze River, the afternoon sun was scorching hot like dipped in hot pepper water.

By the pool at night, the white gull took a rest in the shade of a tree.

There is a saying in the lunar calendar: "Douzhi has become awn seed. At this time, you can plant a valley with awns. After this, it will become invalid, so it is called awn seed."

Mostly, it also corresponds to the folk proverb - if you don't grow awn seeds, it will be useless to grow them again.

Bai Ou understands that after Grain Grain, all the spring farming in the south of the Yangtze River is over, and Li Yu's most worrying thing after returning to the palace has finally been settled, but Bai Ou's own worries are getting heavier and heavier.

The emperor exempted Bai Ou from going to court every morning, saying that the general was injured in a bloody battle. Only Bai Ou knew that Li Yu probably didn't want to tire his mind with the case, but even under such a sun, he would always Sun also wants to go out for a walk——

There were no women in Li Yu's harem, so his actions were not restricted, but the huge palace was still like an exquisite cage. The white gull bird was stained with blood, and it was about to be locked up like a canary.

But that wasn't what bothered him the most.

He silently watched the pool of mangoes chasing heat in front of him——

Midsummer is approaching, and more than half of this year has passed; he was imprisoned in the four corners of the palace to play "The Years Are Quiet", and Zhao Hongyin would not rest at the other end of the city.

Once this year is over, Li Yu should be crowned; his little beauty is finally going to grow up, and no one can stop the emperor from governing himself——

But that was also the day when Shangning died in the history books.

This flower and this leaf often reflect each other, and the greenness reduces the redness and the sadness to kill.

As if a countdown was urging him, he became extremely sensitive.

Li Yu's coming to court was getting later and later, today he didn't even go back to the palace to have lunch with him, so Xiao Yao sent word that Zhou Zheling was seriously ill and could no longer go to court, so the emperor was extra busy.

If it was normal, maybe Baiou would believe it, but the mango seeds have passed, what the hell is Li Yuyu up to?

"Master Bai—"

The white gull was looking at a pool of lotus leaves in a daze, when Xiao Yao's voice came from behind him.

"The servant has found you."

The white gull turned over and jumped off the branch, "Is the emperor going down?"

"Yes." Xiao Yao said respectfully: "Your Majesty is not in a good mood, and lunch is useless. Just now, the servant who passed on the meal was thrown out, and the slave can only come to look for you."

The white gull has never been able to stay in the palace, and Li Yu also knows that it will be left in the past. If the little emperor can't find him in the next court, he will come out to look for him himself, and cover the white gull's eyes quietly from behind on his toes.

Li Yu ascended the throne at the age of seven, and has endured it until now. He has never been a person who loses his temper indiscriminately.

Bai Gu came out for a short stroll today because he couldn't wait for the emperor to return to his bedroom to have lunch with him. Who is Li Yu throwing his temper at?

"But what happened in the court?" He had already turned around and went back to the palace with Xiao Yao, and asked in a low voice while walking.

Xiao Yao Yili followed behind Bai Ou, seeing Bai Ou turning around to ask, she just bowed slightly and did not answer.

Before that, Li Yu cleared Zhou Zheling's eyeliner. The newly-appointed Chief of the Imperial Chamberlain did not stay. Impossible not to know.

If he doesn't say it, he dare not say it.

White Ou is alert, this is probably not a small matter.

As soon as he opened the door of the bedroom, he saw Li Yu sitting in front of the desk with a gloomy face, impatiently crumbling the rice paper in front of him, and throwing it on the ground with his hands.

Xiao Yao immediately led the crowd to retreat tactfully, and gently closed the palace door.

Li Yu raised his eyes and saw the white gull by the door. He quietly got up and walked in front of the white gull. He stuffed himself into the white gull's arms obediently, restraining his anger and impatience just now, but kept quiet and refused to speak.

"Zhou Zheling won't go to court anymore—" Bai Gu raised his arms and hugged him, and said softly, "Who dares to make my little beauty unhappy?"

Zhou Zheling hadn't listened to politics behind the curtain for some days, but the members of the aristocratic family survived.

After finishing the spring planting in the south of the Yangtze River these days, they had the idea of ​​Baiou again when they had time——

A group of people joined forces to report that the White Ou won a great battle in Daicheng and shined through the ages. The emperor did not grant a reward for a long time, but only took him to Guangming Palace to recuperate his wounds, which is unreasonable.

All the ministers petitioned that the general Shenwu of the Jin Yulin Army should be the general of the Yipinzhu Kingdom, and be named the Northern King; according to the Ningzu system, the emperor would marry a noble daughter from an aristocratic family.

The zhezi keeps saying that it is the ancestor system of Shang Ning, how can anyone not know that Shang Ning, and even the Daning Dynasty, the predecessor of Shang Ning, which lasted for hundreds of years, has never had a precedent for a different surname to be a king.

"Praise and kill?" Bai Ou smiled, "It's a small matter, just ignore them."

Li Yu ascended the throne at the age of seven, how could he be so incomprehensible that he could only be praised for killing him, and he suppressed all the ministers' papers one after another, but today's joint appointment——

"Yu'er saw Mr. Chen Gel's name in Chen Biao's list." He said softly, "It's his own handwriting."

Give marriage and establish a concubine, open a mansion and live in another place.

Although Li Yu had sent away all Zhou Zheling's eyeliner before, Baiou knew that there was no impenetrable wall in this world; No less.

The emperor is about to win the crown, but he is still unwilling to choose a concubine, but there is a man hidden in the palace; it is related to Li's blood, the royal face, and the country. It is no wonder that Chen Yan is willing to join forces with the family he has always looked down upon.

The aristocratic family is looking forward to the white gulls climbing high and falling down, and Chen Yu is hoping that the emperor will spread his branches and leaves——

But each takes what he needs.

"Chen Ge has been upright and prudent all his life, and his old reputation has been delayed by my cheap son. He wants to drive me away." Bai Ou picked up Li Yu horizontally, walked into the inner room, and gently put him on the couch On the side, he stood in front of Li Yu, looked into Li Yu's eyes, "Is Yu'er afraid?"

"Scared." Li Yu also raised his wet eyes to look at the white gull, "Yu'er is afraid of you leaving, very scared."

"What about now?" Bai Ou freed one hand, pulled Li Yu's wrist by his side, and interlocked his fingers, "Are you still afraid?"

Li Yu raised his face and smiled at Bai Gu, and held Bai Gu's hand tightly, "Don't be afraid."

He hugged the white gull's neck and let the white gull lie on his chest, just like he slept in the white gull's arms every night——

This is a very protective action.

Brother Baiou, you are so kind, Yu'er is really not afraid of anything.

Even if there are many conspiracies in the previous dynasty, even if the people around you betray their relatives, even if they will be infamous forever afterward, even if...

Beiyin committed another crime on the Shangning border.

How much painstaking effort Bai Ou had hidden behind the big victory in Daicheng last time, few people in the court knew the truth, even Li Yu and Bai Ou kept most of it away.

He knew that the little emperor had a serious mind and had the habit of taking everything on him. He didn't want Li Yu to always feel that he owed him when he found out the truth.

But that's the case, it seems that waiting for a big victory in the city is effortless, they don't know at all, it was just a temptation of Bei Yin.

Shang Ning needs the encouragement of a big victory, but the ghosts and gods in the court have been dazzled by the victory. They are dreaming of the Spring and Autumn Dream of a great country in the sky, and they feel that Beiyin is just a superficiality, and they have no offense against this attack. Don't care.

Bai Ou didn't know yet, but this was what really annoyed Li Yu.

He still doesn't know that what he has been worried about all along is that the second war that Bei Yin launched against Shang Ning in the history books is about to begin.

At the beginning, Li Yu dared to carry the big sedan chair upright and directly brought the white gull close to Guangming Palace.

Bai Gu is not only his lover, but also his sworn partner in front of the stone platform. He is not so confident in the relationship between them, thinking that a few gossips can make Bai Gu leave him easily——

It takes many excuses not to love, but there are always traces of deep love.

only……

Once the war broke out, he didn't know how to stop his general from rushing to the front.

Because Beiyin violated the border this time, the location is still waiting for the city.

In order to protect his country, Bai Gu is definitely duty-bound; and if he wants to protect Bai Gu comprehensively, he will definitely spare no effort.

Regardless of the blindness of the sword on the battlefield, he couldn't help his brother Bai Gu jumping off the cliff again, just saying that he was waiting for the city to win, and countless pairs of eyes were staring at Bai Gu in the middle of the court.

If the white gull takes command again and goes out to fight again, if it wins, it will be hard for the public to offend; if it loses, it will be beyond redemption.

He promised Bai Ou not to lie again, but this time, he could only break his promise; finally he used the matter of Chen Jin to cover up the things related to the war.

*****

In a few days, the emperor sent his servants to reprimand the ministers of King Shangshufeng one by one, and the court and the public exploded.

"Your Majesty." Xiaoyao picked an empty stall on Li Yuxia's way back to the palace, and said worriedly: "I know you can't let Mr. Bai go, but the adults don't go to school once or twice. You I've been ignoring it for so long, it's over, why this time..."

"Why are you so irritable and can't hold your breath?" Li Yu took the words that Xiao Yao dared not say, "I have been tossing around for so long, and the Empress Dowager doesn't show up. If I don't do a little more, how can I find out the truth?"

Bai Ou was seriously injured that day, and he was able to ask Imperial Physician Zhang to do a two-point medical case to hide the truth. Now Zhou Zheling said that he was seriously ill.

He had spent more than ten years as a kid and acted with Zhou Zheling, so how could he know whether Zhou Zheling's so-called "serious illness" was following his own appearance all these years.

Take ten thousand steps back, even if it is not for the suffering he and the people around him have suffered in the past ten years, not for the dead Cuizhu, and not for the country; just say that one day can not cut off the relatives who are involved in politics, and take charge of the government as soon as possible, and hold power , he and the white gull will not be clean for a day.

Compared with calculating him, the emperor who is still useful, Bai Gull is more likely to become the target of public criticism.

He had to step by step.

Not to mention that some of Li Yu's selfishness is difficult to explain, even if he confesses the whole thing, the emperor's mind and power checks and balances are not something Xiao Yao can fully understand.

Li Yu picked and talked about it, and the two of them had already walked to the gate of Guangming Palace. From a distance, they saw Zhou Zheling's trusted old lady waiting at the gate.

"This..." Xiao Yao nervously said, "Is the Empress Dowager coming?"

"What are you panicking about?" Li Yu curled his lips and sneered, "Hurry up and meet Miss Zhou Jiasan."

Zhou Zheling has gone through three dynasties and has seen all the changes. In terms of resourcefulness and ingenuity, Li Yu asked himself that he may not be able to win completely, but there is one thing, he will not lose.

This woman's journey to seize power has been smooth and smooth, and she has held power until today, and she has never suffered any disadvantages before Li Yu. On the other hand, in my less than 20 years of life, I have been enduring all the time——

Finally, he was right in his calculation, and Zhou Zheling lost his temper earlier than he did.

If Zhou Zheling's illness had something to do with acting with him, then he would definitely play a full set today, and even if he really wanted to see him, he would be sent to Yannian Palace instead of appearing in person.

The one in Guangming Palace must be Zhou Muyun who is manipulated by Zhou Zheling like a puppet.

After asking Xiao Yao to confirm that Bai Gu was not in the palace, he pushed open the gate of the main hall of Guangming Palace.

Zhou Muyun stood up and saluted, "I have seen Your Majesty."

"Miss Wednesday is polite, give me a seat—" Li Yu raised his hand to avoid Zhou Muyun's courtesy, and took the main seat, "Is the emperor's grandmother better?"

"Illnesses always come and go like a mountain, and go away like a thread. My aunt is getting old, and the imperial doctor also said that I can only take care of him carefully." Zhou Muyun answered decently after sitting down.

"The former court was busy with affairs, and there was no imperial grandmother in charge. I was often exhausted and couldn't get away." Li Yu exchanged pleasantries in a neutral manner, "These days, I am tired of the third lady."

"Muyun grew up under my aunt's knees, and she deserves some filial piety. Besides, my aunt is just an old man's disease, so she can just take care of her. Muyun didn't do much." Zhou Muyun nodded slightly as he said, "It's just... ..."

Li Yu smiled slightly when he heard the words.

It was impossible for him to be so naive as to think that Zhou Muyun really just came to chat with him to catch up with him. He was patient, waiting for this "just".

"Third Miss, it's okay to say."

"My aunt is seriously ill, and the imperial physician is helpless. People are getting old and sick, so the imperial physician can only order you to rest, but..." Zhou Muyun said slowly: "My aunt is still worried when she is ill, and the imperial physician's repeated persuasion is not conducive to recovery, but he After all, the old man still worries about His Majesty."

"That's my unfilial piety." Li Yu's eyes didn't change, and he didn't want to pretend anymore, "I just don't know why I didn't handle it properly and disturbed the imperial grandmother's rest?"

"This..." Zhou Muyun hesitated for a long time before saying, "My aunt is worried about the emperor's heir."

There has been a lot of gossip in the palace recently, especially when Li Yu scolded the officials and made a big fight, Zhou Zheling really couldn't sit still.

Zhou Muyun came to urge the emperor to get married this time, but no one in Shangning knew that she was the appointed empress, the only difference was that she didn't have the wedding ceremony and got the wind seal——

In this way, it seemed that she was urging Li Yu to marry herself.

She is a girl who is restrained by etiquette, how can she say such words.

But Zhou Zheling was indeed ill.

Over the years, Zhou Muyun has gotten used to it, but whenever Zhou Zheling speaks, she never understands what it means to refuse; right now, this is the most euphemistic excuse she can think of.

Speaking of which, she grew up in the palace since she was a child. Although Li Yu is two years older, she is considered a childhood sweetheart. She knew that this man was her future husband when she urinated.

The most ironic thing is that even so, there is no personal affair between men and women.

Etiquette taught her side, she only knew that she would respect and value this man.

But no one taught her to love.

Until that day, in front of Yannian Hall, she heard Li Yu blurt out those three words with her own ears——

"Sweetheart."

Zhou Zheling might not have taken it to heart at the time, but she saw her so-called future husband with her own eyes, her eyes overflowing with tenderness.

Even if she had known Li Yu since childhood, it was still the first time she had seen such an emperor.

It was also the first time she vaguely saw that thing called "love".

Now, how can she ask such a person to marry her?

In fact, she and Li Yu are just pawns in Zhou Zheling's hands to play tricks, but Li Yu has already struggled to get out of trouble, but she seems to be in prison for the rest of her life.

Li Yu dared to say "don't marry", but she didn't dare to say "don't marry".

"Third Miss, go back."

Zhou Muyun's thoughts drifted away, but was pulled back by Li Yu's words——

"I will not stand behind."

"I will be weak next year. It's the prime of life. I don't have to worry about the country. If the emperor's grandmother is really worried, I will go to the side to take over, so that her old man can rest assured."

"His Majesty……"

Zhou Muyun was educated by poetry and books, and he was taller than the empress's standard. He was always calm, but now he couldn't help but lose his color.

Li Yu's words were straightforward enough.

Not only would he not marry Zhou Muyun, he would not marry any woman, and he didn't even plan to have an heir.

In front of the Yannian Hall that day, Zhou Muyun didn't hear what Zhou Zheling said before, and just thought that the emperor probably had another sweetheart, but he didn't know who it was; but, now the emperor didn't even plan to have his own sweetheart?

Could it be that those unsavory rumors about the emperor in the palace...

it is true?

Seeing Zhou Muyun's surprised expression, Li Yu didn't mind speaking more bluntly; he was planning these days and waiting for this moment.

"Does Miss Wednesday know—" He lowered his voice, "What do the ancients mean by 'broken sleeve'?"

"Although Emperor Ai and Dong Xian are both men, they often fall asleep together; Emperor Ai wanted to get up, and Xianmian pillowed his sleeves. Emperor Ai couldn't bear to be disturbed, so he swung his knife to cut off the sleeves."

He said leaning forward.

"Aren't you all afraid of the white gull, afraid of his high achievements and self-reliance, so you want me to treat him with a high position; now I am willing to imitate Emperor Ai's affection and use my body to keep him. Are you satisfied?"

Seeing the trembling in Zhou Muyun's pupils, he slowly got up and walked away with satisfaction.

He didn't hate Zhou Muyun, he even had a bit of sympathy for this woman, sympathized with her fate of being at the mercy of others, just like him, who had no choice since birth.

But the more so, the more ruthless he will be.

Good girl, whoever you marry can't lead to a harmonious husband and wife, and your children and grandchildren will be around your knees. Why do you want to be a fake couple destined to have no love and sleep, and die of old age in this dark palace.
