"Your complexion looks so bad." Wen Ruyan raised his hand and poked Zhao Yao's too pale face, and could vaguely notice that her limbs were particularly stiff.

Because she heard the sound of fighting outside and was worried about Zhao Yao's business, Wen Ruyan was planning to sneak out from the dog hole in the backyard to find out the news.

Who would have thought that seeing Zhao Yao's absent-minded appearance, she almost fell backwards when she was almost unable to stand before, and hurriedly hugged her in fright.

Zhao Yao slowly raised her hand to touch the girl's cheek, touched the wet fine hair with her fingertips and asked, "Where did you go?"

"Don't mention it, I just escaped from Chaotian Temple, who would have thought that before I had time to change my clothes, I could hear the sound of swords and swords banging." The girl shrugged her nose, yawned, and said tremblingly, "I may be missing my life." Water, fall into the water every time."

Before the words finished, Wen Ruyan was hugged firmly, and Zhao Yao's arm was so strong that it made people gasp.

Wen Ruyan bumped her cheek against her slender shoulder, and said helplessly, "Take it easy."

It's a pity that this person is like a gourd, he insists on not making a sound, but the hand that hugs him tightly still refuses to let go.

His eyes fell on the wheelchair not far away, and he said in surprise, "Hey, is your aunt asleep?"

Zhao Yao panicked and clasped the back of the girl's head with her hand and said, "Well, I'll take you back and change into clean clothes."

This force directly pressed Wen Ruyan's head on his shoulder forcibly, it was not gentle at all.

When Zhang Youmou came in to report, he saw the empress hugging Miss Wen from a distance, and hurriedly stopped.

General Zhao on the side was about to make a sound in wonder, when Zhang Youmou stretched out his hand and pushed the man, saying, "Retreat to the front yard first."

"Hey, Mr. Zhang, aren't we here to report?"

"Stop talking nonsense, retreat first!"

Everyone waited in the front yard for a while, Zhang Youmou entered the main hall cautiously, then walked in to the inner hall, vaguely saw through the curtain that the female emperor in the inner hall was wiping Miss Wen's long hair, and hurriedly lowered her head to report: "Your Majesty, I have something to report." .”

Zhao Yao looked at the girl wrapped in a thin blanket, fingered the fine hair that hadn't been wiped, then pecked at the side of her face and said softly, "Be good, drink the ginger soup."

Wen Ruyan wore long hair and held ginger soup in his hand to meet this overly tender gaze, he was really a little apprehensive.

I haven't seen you for a while, and suddenly you feel so nasty, could it be that you have been time-traveled?

Zhang Youmou didn't dare to speak again, and retreated silently to the main hall, and he was relieved until the bead curtain sounded crisply.

"It is proposed that the Supreme Emperor dies of illness, and Zhao Zhong, the commander of the Forbidden Palace, rebels and is wiped out. General Zhao Rong is appointed to take over the position temporarily, and Zhao Zhong and others are quickly and thoroughly investigated, and all of the nine clans are arrested and imprisoned."

"The minister leads the order."

Song Taishi, who originally noticed the unstable situation in the court early in the court, summoned close officials to discuss the key points in the mansion.

Qi An, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishments, said flatteringly, "I don't know what the grand master has any good opinions?"

"This Zhao Zhong is a close friend of the Supreme Emperor. If he disrespects His Majesty today, it is probably because His Majesty and the Supreme Emperor are at odds. I am afraid there will be a palace chaos sooner or later."

"Gong Chao?" Qi An, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, agreed with glowing eyes, "Wouldn't that be good for us?"

Dali Temple Minister Li Yi inadvertently frowned slightly: "The Grand Master means that we should win over Zhao Zhong?"

Grand Master Song shook his head in response: "Zhao Zhong is a rebellious man, and he has a heavy army in the imperial city, so it is impossible to win him over, but if he sows dissension, it might be a good thing."

"Wonderful, we can reap the benefits of the fisherman at that time." Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, Qi An, fawned on him.

"However, the southern country is now stable after going through wars, and the Supreme Emperor doesn't know what's going on now, and he's afraid of scaring the snake." Dali Temple Qing Li Yi said.

Qi An, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishments, echoed: "The Supreme Emperor's new policy was not implemented last time. Maybe now he has bad intentions to deal with us. We really should be more careful."

Grand Master Song glanced at it meaningfully, and took a cup of tea in his hand to drink tea. Outside, a servant hurriedly reported: "The emperor is dead!"

Taishi Song, who didn't catch his breath, sprayed tea on the face of Qi An, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, who was completely defenseless.

"Teacher, don't get excited." Qi An, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, wiped the tea on his face and said in embarrassment.

On the contrary, Dali Temple Minister Li Yiyou was calm, but his brows were slightly frowned. This happened too suddenly.

The next morning, a group of officials entered the palace in mourning clothes, and all of them came out with mournful faces.

It was rare for a morning to end so quickly, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment Qi An was secretly happy to go back to warm the bed earlier.

Grand Master Song thought about it all night, even his hair turned gray a lot, and he couldn't figure out why Zhao Zhong wanted to rebel?

At this point in time, it happened too suddenly.

"The Supreme Emperor is finally gone, why does the Grand Master look more and more depressed?" Qi An, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, asked in confusion.

"Stupid thing!" Song Taishi couldn't think hard, and because his thoughts were disturbed, he cursed out of breath.

"The grand master taught me the right thing. They are all petty words." Qi An, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, did not dare to speak out again.

Dali Temple Minister Li Yi disdained the actions of villains like Qi An, and looked sideways at Zhang Youmou and others, with confusion flashing in his eyes.

The mutiny in the palace yesterday was really too unusual.

Zhao Zhong's cronies were arrested and imprisoned before they even had time to run away. If they really wanted to rebel, they wouldn't be so stupid.

On the contrary, it seemed that the female emperor acted first, and what was even more strange was that the death of the Supreme Emperor was too coincidental.

Although it was rumored in the palace that the Taishang Emperor was unwell, he died suddenly, but the cause of death was not found out, so there must be suspicions.

Grand Master Song sighed, looked at Dali Temple Qing Li Yi, and said, "What do you think about this matter?"

"My son-in-law thinks that we should investigate the medical records of the imperial physicians in the imperial hospital. I think the cause of the emperor's death is not that simple."

"It makes sense." Song Taishi was a little powerless with the situation between the government and the opposition.

Qi An, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, said in a low voice: "Is this too much to worry about? After all, the empress is only a little girl, how can she have such vicious methods as a puppet for many years?"

Grand Master Song sighed and said, "If she didn't have such means, why do you think that old fox, the Supreme Emperor, would choose her as the Empress?"

"Maybe it's just that I think little girls are easier to deal with."

Qi An, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, has not forgotten all kinds of bad rumors about the Supreme Emperor back then, among which there were rumors of lustful women.

"You..." Taishi Song shook his head hating iron and steel, and put his hands behind his back, "Too short-sighted, but it will lead to catastrophe."

Qi An, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishments, did not expect to be deflated again, so he could only say yes again and again.

Zhang Youmou and Zhao Rong and other officials ransacked Zhao Zhong's family property, and few officials in the court were clean.

Even if there is no charge of treason, corruption and bribery cannot escape.

What's more, now that there is no proof of death, the court ministers are panicked, and naturally have no time to suspect other things.

In just three days, the children of Zhao Zhong's family pleaded guilty and subjugated the law. The closest relatives of the three clans were beheaded, and the rest were exiled for three thousand miles.

Zhao Yao closed the memorial, and the girl beside her had caught a cold that day, so she was a little depressed.

"This medicinal soup is too unpalatable." Wen Ruyan frowned and gulped it down, then picked up the tea and gurgled.

It was early summer, when the weather was rarely warm, the girl was wrapped in a thin blanket and nestled on a low couch, leaning against the side with a sullen expression.

"It's not a serious problem at first, but you insist on kicking off the thin quilt at night."

Zhao Yao wrapped her arms around the girl, and tightened the thin blanket with her fingertips.

Wen Ruyan snorted slightly, looked at this side with bright eyes and said, "Isn't that because you always hold me tightly?"

A few days ago, he was still very clingy, but now he has a vicious tongue. He is really a bad guy with no conscience.

With reddened cheeks, Zhao Yao took away the teacup held tightly by the girl, poured a cup of tea and stuffed it into the girl's hand, and said, "I was worried that you would kick all of you away."

The girl stared straight at Zhao Yao and asked, "You're lying, I'm going to go to the toilet in the middle of the night, why do you insist on pulling on my clothes?"

Seeing that Zhao Yao finally stopped refuting, Wen Ruyan finally let out a sigh of relief.

The sunset was already thick outside the window, Wen Ruyan took a sip of tea, and sighed a little hoarse because of coughing a few days ago: "Hey, we don't go to vigil for your aunt's funeral, are you really okay?"

When Zhao Yao heard the word "us", she felt a special feeling in her heart. She stretched out her hand and pulled the thin hair from the girl's cheek to the back of her ear. She hugged the girl very ambiguously and asked, "Why are you going?"

"I'm not your special friend." The girl mischievously refused to respond to Zhao Yao's voice, lazily nestling in her arms.

"My aunt doesn't like to be disturbed by others. You should take care of your illness." Zhao Yao never felt that that person made herself emperor because of her blood relationship.

If my aunt really had a half blood relationship in her heart, she would not put herself in Yuncheng regardless of her safety, let alone push herself towards those court ministers who were like wolves, tigers and leopards.

The position of emperor has always been secured by life and death struggles, how could my aunt not know.

Auntie just wanted to see how she would fight against them, her own life and death were not in her eyes at all.

At night, there was a report from the hidden guard: "Song Taishi sent people to search the body of the Supreme Emperor at night, and he has been arrested."

Holding the scissors in Zhao Yao's hand, she cut the candle wick short, and it became brighter in an instant, Ru Mo's eyes blinked lightly in response: "I know, step back."

"Yes."

These hidden guards were specially trained in Yuncheng soldiers at the beginning, but now they are only deployed by Zhao Yao himself, most of them are guarded in the palace, and a small part are arranged in the mansions of important officials, including the mansions of Zhang Youmou and others.

When the girl came out of the room to wash, Zhao Yao was already sitting beside the bed.

Wen Ruyan was a little confused, and fell on the bed without moving.

Zhao Yao stretched out her arms and half-embraced the girl and put her on the bed, spread the thin quilt well and lay on her side sideways, and said, "Are you sleepy?"

"Nope."

The girl looked sideways lazily, and put her arm on Zhao Yao's side, "You don't have any fat."

The fingertips still didn't forget to pinch everywhere, Zhao Yao slightly pressed her thin lips, raised her hand to hold down the scurrying hand and said: "There is a martial arts training ground in the palace, I often shoot arrows on horseback."

Wen Ruyan's palm was held down, she poked Zhao Yao's palm with her fingertips, and said with bright eyes, "Riding a horse and archery looks like fun."

Zhao Yao held the girl's soft hand and put it next to her face, saying: "When you recover, I will take you to try it."

"Okay." The girl's cheeks were flushed, and she felt a little sleepy after a while.

The bedroom was quiet again, Zhao Yao approached quietly, wrapped her arms around the girl and said softly, "If you're sleepy, go to sleep."

The girl closed her eyes and did not avoid Zhao Yao's approach, but responded aloud: "Do you have to hug me face to face to sleep?"

"Don't you like it?" Zhao Yao approached and lightly pecked her pink lips, and she always wanted to do this when she came out from the girl.

Because the two were so close, Wen Ruyan could even hear the subtle breathing sound clearly, stepped forward slightly and kissed Zhao Yao's thin lips politely: "I think you have become more and more clingy recently. "

When I first met Ming Ming, I still thought Zhao Yao was cold and cold, but now I have become clingy.

Zhao Yao raised her hands to hold the girl's cheeks, and couldn't help but lust for those soft lips. When she leaned over and approached her, she seemed to be instantly hot.

The girl opened her eyes slightly, and took the initiative not to be outdone, but finally bit Zhao Yao shamelessly, which ended the too long kiss.

"You..." Wen Ruyan looked at it a little out of breath, and saw that the person who was extremely calm in the past suddenly became short of breath, and a smile appeared in his eyes, "You also have today."

Usually, relying on her large lung capacity and bullying one-sidedly, it is rare to get back with revenge, so Wen Ruyan was naturally happy to win the round.

Zhao Yao didn't understand the girl's brain circuit, so she breathed calmly soon, but the blush on her cheeks didn't fade away, and for some reason she smiled lowly along with the girl.

This overly shy smile made Wen Ruyan's heart beat wildly.

Wen Ruyan raised his hand and rubbed Zhao Yao's cheek and said, "Why are you laughing too?"

"Can't I laugh?" Zhao Yao fingered the thin hair next to the girl's cheeks, her quiet eyes were stained with joy, "If you hadn't bit me just now, who would have won?"

Unconvinced, the girl pinched Zhao Yao's cheek and said, "If I don't bite you, I'm afraid I'm going to die."

The intimacy just now was really on the verge of hypoxia, even Zhao Yao herself was obviously not breathing well, let alone Wen Ruyan.

This suicidal intimacy is really exciting.

Zhao Yao covered the girl's hand, pecked the back of her hand a few times and said, "Don't worry, I don't want to let you die alone."

Wen Ruyan, who has always been thick-skinned, couldn't resist Zhao Yao's subtle and explicit ambiguous gestures, the back of his hands suddenly burned, and his eyes twinkled in response: "I, I'm sleepy."

He obviously practiced holding his breath in the bath every day, but just looking at him right now made him a little out of breath.

It is really the invisible temptation that is the worst, Zhao Yao has faded from her youthfulness at this age, and she is full of charm with every frown and smile.

When the girl's breathing became stable, Zhao Yao just pulled the distance between them closer again.

The huge palace is sometimes so empty that Zhao Yao feels that this is the coffin the girl mentioned, and that she is destined to be buried here forever.

But the girl is free, as long as she wants to, she can fly to the wider world like a bird, so Zhao Yao thought that she must never let go of the girl.

Song Taishi, who hadn't heard anything all night, had several more white hairs, and the officials didn't speak when they went to the court.

Even Qi An, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishments, did not dare to take the initiative to speak, for fear of offending Grand Master Song again.

After a few days like this, Wen Ruyan went back to work, yawning in the morning and looking at the rising sun.

Su Qing looked at Miss Wen and couldn't help sighing that fate is really great, but the court has been turned upside down in a few days, but this master still seems to know nothing.

"Miss Su, have you eaten yet?" Wen Ruyan asked with the pastry stuffed into her mouth.

"Ah."

In the main hall, Zhao Yao mentioned the matter of surveying the land and redistributing the fertile land in various states and counties, just to find out the rumors of the officials.

Taishi Song didn't say anything, but Qi An, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, Qi Tai, Minister of the Ministry of Households, and a group of Taishi's disciples obstructed him a lot, citing lack of financial resources and manpower as an excuse to refuse.

Zhang Youmou looked at Dali Temple Minister Li Yi, who was also among them, his eyes darkened a little.

When the Wang family fell, Zhang Youmou and General Zhao Rong replaced most of the positions, but the situation in the court was not optimistic.

At present, Song Qi’s Zhou family is so weak that it turns against the wind like grass on the wall. Among them, only Zhou Du is the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, and he took the remaining position of the Jin family earlier, but the others are not capable.

Song Lang, the eldest son of Song Taishi, served as Minister of the Ministry of Officials in charge of official promotion and deployment, and his second son, Song Qing, served as Minister of Rites in charge of scientific research-related affairs and foreign affairs. pulse.

As for the Qi family who followed the Song family to eat meat and drink soup, they occupied Qi An, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, and Qi Tai, Minister of the Ministry of Households, who was making money.

Zhao Yao saw that most of the officials said that it was wrong but she was not in a hurry, so she changed the subject and brought up the matter of all the officials accompanying the Supreme Emperor to the imperial mausoleum.

This way it is considered to be safe and sound, the early court ended, but Grand Master Song's expression did not ease.

Qi An, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment at the side, was not there, and Qi Tai, Minister of the Ministry of Households, said, "I think your majesty's methods are nothing more than that. Let's work together, are you afraid that she will not succeed as a little girl?"

Qi Tai, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, was not keen on the affairs of the court, and only wanted to collect money, so he only echoed his elder brother: "What elder brother said is that your majesty is not as tough as the Supreme Emperor."

On one side, Li Yi, the Minister of Dali Temple, frequently detected Zhang Youmou's line of sight, and looked there with a slight frown.

When the officials entered the Changgong Road, Li Yi deliberately slowed down his pace and walked with Zhang Youmou: "Brother Zhang, what's the matter?"

Zhang Youmou asked tentatively: "Brother Li thinks it's inappropriate for His Majesty to re-measure the field today?"

"Most of the land in the states and counties in the southern country is occupied by officials and businessmen. If the court wants to re-divide it, it is difficult to promulgate and implement this law."

These words hit the point, and Zhang Youmou said unwillingly: "It is more necessary to implement the law for the prosperity of the southern country."

Li Yi smiled lightly: "Brother Zhang first entered the officialdom, and later on he knew why things that benefited the country and the people always ended without a cure."

"Brother Li, as the Minister of Dali Temple, is he so willing?"

"Nine times out of ten, life is unsatisfactory. This officialdom is obviously for doing business, but secretly for profit. Don't you think that doing things for His Majesty is not a combination of interests?" Li Yi asked calmly with a restrained smile.

Zhang Youmou was puzzled and said, "What do you want to say?"

Li Yi raised his hand to smooth the folds of Zhang Youmou's official robe, looked at Zhang Youmou with deep eyes and said, "Do you believe that if His Majesty has sole power one day, the people in the southern country will still live in dire straits?"

"I don't believe it." Zhang Youmou retreated in disgust, even though the person in front of him was really his brother.

"Anyway, the future is long, you can watch it as you go, after all, brother Zhang is only 24, still too young, and the future is limitless."

As soon as Li withdrew his hand, he wanted to walk away.

Zhang Youmou said in surprise, "How do you know my age?"

Li Yi said with a helpless smile: "Little sister, do you really not recognize you as a brother?"

"Brother..." Zhang Youmou's eyes were slightly red, but he still held back his words, "Why didn't you report to me if you weren't dead?"

"The original Zhang Xinzhi was already dead." Li Yi looked at Zhang Youmou in front of him with a very calm expression, "Now I am Li Yi, the son-in-law of Taishi Song, and you and I have nothing to do with each other. Brother and sister, I hope you will remember it in your heart."

Zhang Youmou took a few steps back, tilted his head and said in a low voice: "Master Li is right, if you don't have the same way, you don't conspire with each other."

The two broke up unhappily and left from the palace road, leaving only Wen Ruyan who sneaked out with a shocked expression on his face.

What's the relationship between these two?

Because he was far away and didn't hear the words, but seeing Mr. Zhang's angry red eyes, he instantly imagined a scene of sadomasochism.

Going back to the main hall from the palace road, Wen Ruyan entered with a food box.

Zhao Yao raised her hand to pinch the girl's cheek and said, "Where did you sneak off to?"

On weekdays, she rushed in early, but today she was nowhere to be seen, so she felt very uneasy.

The girl bared her teeth and yelled, "It hurts."

Before letting go, she was slapped away by the girl in disgust, Zhao Yao still felt aggrieved and said, "You still dare to hit me?"

Wen Ruyan took out the breakfast in the food box one by one, leaned closer and said, "My face still hurts."

"It really hurts?" Zhao Yao didn't use much strength, but still raised her hand to rub the girl's face, leaned over and kissed her, "Does this still hurt?"

This kiss was like a superficial touch, but Wen Ruyan felt that half of her face was numb.

"How have you changed recently?" The girl's earlobes were red, her eyes blinked very quickly, and she reached out to hold the porridge bowl, "It's always too nasty."

Zhao Yao didn't expect that the girl not only didn't boast, but complained a little bit, flustered with the porridge bowl in her hand.

Sure enough, you still have to be more reserved, otherwise the girl should think that she is too frivolous.

Wen Ruyan looked at Zhao Yao, who was obediently eating porridge, and was a little surprised. He sat on the side of the dragon chair, looked at it for a while and asked, "Why are you silent again?"

"Don't you not like it?" Zhao Yao responded with a porridge spoon in her hand.

"Actually, it's not that I don't like it." The girl gulped down the porridge awkwardly, and didn't say anything for a while.

Zhao Yao approached slowly and asked, "Do you like porridge very much?"

Wen Ruyan swallowed the porridge and replied, "It's okay."

The atmosphere was inexplicably delicate, Wen Ruyan recalled what he happened to encounter earlier, so he said it out of the way.

"They definitely have a relationship!"

"What is love?" Zhao Yao didn't understand the girl's interest.

The girl smiled awkwardly and said, "It's nothing, I just feel very problematic."

Zhao Yao also felt that there was something wrong with the two of them. With Zhang Youmou's character, he shouldn't be involved with Song Taishi's faction, let alone Li Yi.

This man's mansion is extremely deep, and Zhao Yao, who is a bystander, can still investigate interest disputes, but Li Yi is the only one who seems to be a fish in the officialdom, he is everywhere, but he does not get muddled anywhere.

"Hey, what are you thinking?" Wen Ruyan approached and asked.

"It's nothing." Zhao Yao was eating porridge, remembering that she said she wanted to learn horseback riding and archery, and it happened that she had nothing to do today, "You can go to the racecourse with me later."

Wen Ruyan nodded in response: "Okay, but I don't know it at all, so don't dislike me."

Zhao Yao held the handkerchief to wipe the porridge from the girl's lips, kissed the side of the cheek very ambiguously and said softly: "I like you before it's too late, how can I despise you."

Wen Ruyan, who was steaming from both ears, blushed up to his neck, and he couldn't think about it.

Normally, Zhao Yao's character of being silent, but when it comes to love talk, it turns out to be a set pattern.
