After being mistaken for a fellow by Long Aotian

Little did the emperor know that he had bought a book that "exactly matched his description to the shopkeeper", but its content was completely different.When he returned to the palace, after dealing with Prime Minister Lu's affairs, he became more and more depressed.

Zhou Xun was still outside the palace, not by his side.The emperor stretched out on the chair for a while, Lu Yao came in to refill him tea, seeing the frown on the emperor's face, he said, "What is the emperor worrying about?"

Lu Yao is the emperor's personal maid-in-waiting, she knew that Prime Minister Lu had just been here.After deliberating for a moment, she thought about the emperor's various personalities and activities since then. After thinking for a while, she said: "Your Majesty, I don't know if I should say something or not..."

In the past, she would never say this to the emperor.However, the emperor released her 20-year-old sister who was unable to leave the palace to marry her sweetheart because she offended the eunuch of the Ministry of Internal Affairs a few days ago, so now she dares to say these words to the emperor.

The emperor glanced at her: "Speak."

Lu Yao said: "Your Majesty, there are some things in this world that are destined to be unattainable. The Empress Dowager and the Fifth Prince are biological mothers and sons, and they are connected by blood. Even if the Emperor keeps asking for it, it may not be able to get a good result. Between people, after all, there is a matter of fate and first-come-first-come."

After saying this, Luyao felt a little regretful, feeling that she had overstepped.

That's right, the emperor came first...whether it was born, became the queen mother's child, or was raised by the queen mother...however, why did it become like this?

The emperor frowned. He seemed to be listening to Luyao, but he seemed to be in a trance and was not listening.After a long time, he slowly let out a breath and said, "Why did it become like this?"

Lu Yao said: "... Your Majesty."

"Why do these people want to harm my Brother Xun?" The emperor said indignantly, "I just want him to be happy! What's wrong with me! What's wrong with Brother Xun!"

Green Medicine: ? ?

Emperor: "Heaven's wronged me! I won't become a fairy, I will become a demon!"

Green Medicine: ? ? ?

Emperor: "Go your own way, let others say it! In my dictionary, Long Aotian, there is no word for failure!"

Green Medicine: ? ? ? ?

Emperor: "Everything lost, I will get it back with my own hands!"

Green Medicine: ? ? ? ?

Emperor: "Phew, I've wanted to try these villain lines for a long time."

For some reason, she felt that the emperor seemed to be happy... very quickly after saying those few words.

"Your Majesty," Xiao Lizi hurried in from outside the door, "This...the slave has something to report..."

The emperor waved his hand and said, "Bring me the Eighteen Palms of Subduing the Dragon."

Xiao Lizi said: "Yes, but Zhou Cai and Zhou Hanlin are asking to see you outside."

Emperor: "See you, see you."

Xiao Lizi whispered a few words to the emperor, and the emperor reluctantly agreed.

Lvyao exited the imperial study in fear.She saw Zhou Cai finally entered the imperial study room with blood on his forehead.The two seemed to have talked for a long time in the imperial study.

From time to time, she heard voices coming from outside the door.

"Chen's younger brother was just young and frivolous for a while, and I'm naturally willing to let him learn some lessons, but he hasn't suffered much since he was a child..."

"That's just right, I gave him a brand new experience that he had never had before."

……

"In the past few days, my parents have been unable to eat or sleep well. I don't know why, but the emperor has acted like this..."

"Aren't you going to draw a clear line with Zhou Xun? I will personally help you divide the property."

……

"The friendship I have had with the emperor for many years, has the emperor really abandoned it like a shoestring?"

"Don't, we're just ordinary colleagues—I haven't owed you wages before, have I?"

……

"Does the emperor really want the minister's family to be unable to survive?"

"Isn't it? Haven't your family saved all these years? Isn't it just a few months of salary fined? I tell you, it's not good to spend ahead of time. You see, this moonlight family has no risk resistance. "

……

"For some reason, since that day, the emperor has changed. He has become unfamiliar to the minister... It's like a different person."

After saying this, the emperor finally fell silent.

"I am moody, and I change when I love it. You should have understood that I am such a ruthless man."

……

"What's so good about Zhou Xun? Your Majesty, you know people and faces but you don't know what you're thinking. It's only been a few days, but you've treated him like this..."

"What for a few days? The bond between Zhou Xun and I is beyond your comprehension." Lu Yao heard the emperor sneer, "I owe him, and I am happy to treat him well. What he was like in the beginning, I will let him How did he change back. Since I caused his fate to be like this, I have treated him like this... Now, I want to make up for it and let him change back to his original appearance."

"As for what kind of person Zhou Xun is? You don't need to worry about that. The him I see is much more real than the one you see. I'm really full to waste my time here with you."

……

"Your Majesty, you must..."

"Why do you think I let you live until now?"

As soon as the emperor's cold voice came out, Lu Yao quickly shrank her neck.When she saw little Eunuch Li beside her, she also had the same expression.

They know that some words can be heard, and some words cannot be heard.Even if you hear it, you have the right to pretend that you don't know it.

"Green medicine."

Xiao Lizi's voice rang in Lu Yao's ears, and she looked at Xiao Lizi suspiciously.

"The former emperor could kill more than ten people with a headache in one day." Xiao Lizi looked ahead, but he was clearly talking to her, "You know what the current emperor is like."

"……Yes."

"You have to know that we are doing things for the emperor, and we are only doing things for the emperor. Our lives are closely related to the emperor. If the emperor is good, our ability is also good." Xiao Lizi looked at the big tree in the distance, "Since Why seek a narrow road when you can walk a smooth road?"

What he said had profound implications, but Lu Yao realized it in an instant.

She smiled slightly: "Naturally. The emperor has experienced a lot and matured a lot, but people will change after all, it's not unusual."

As he said that, Hongling approached from afar.She was holding the plate, and when she heard that Zhou Cai was arguing with the emperor inside, her face turned pale.

"...Hong Ling is a few years younger than us, innocent and innocent." Xiao Lizi sighed, "Miss Luyao, please tell me more about her."

Lu Yao also smiled quietly: "That's natural."

In the end Zhou Cai finally came out again.This time he walked in a hurry, and left after seeing a few people.

Xiao Lizi went into the imperial study and came out again, and said to the guards: "Words spread throughout the palace that Zhou Cai will not be allowed to enter the palace from now on."

After he delivered this message, he signaled Lu Yao to talk to Hong Ling with his eyes.Luyao understood, and Lvyi swayed and left.

"Your Majesty..." Little Eunuch Li entered the palace and said cautiously to the Emperor, "Your Majesty is in a bad mood today, do you want to find some books to read?"

Thinking of the books brought back by the emperor today, he checked the bibliography in his heart, and said, "May the emperor want to read "Pin Hua Bao Jian" to relax?"

Emperor: "I'm upset to see flowers and plants."

Little Eunuch Li: "Oh... Then the emperor might as well read that "The Legend of the Sand Sculpture Heroes"? I heard that this is a well-known and interesting book..."

"No need." The emperor waved his hand and said, "Bring over that...book that teaches people how to comfort others and get along better with others."

Little Li:?

"...

I feel uncomfortable just thinking about it, Zhou Xun must have felt more uncomfortable than me. The emperor rubbed his temple with one hand, "That's it." "

Xiao Lizi took the order to retreat.Before leaving, he heard the emperor stare blankly at the ceiling and say: "If I can do it all over again, I will never let his fate become like this... Sigh, it would be great if I could come here sooner."

"...It's fine if you don't become the emperor."

……

The emperor put the book back on the shelf and hid it well.He was really embarrassed to let people find out that he was actually reading this kind of elementary school bibliography.

... At such an adult, I still need to read books to study how to better make others feel good about me.

"But why did he have such a strange expression just now? It stands to reason that he shouldn't be able to read the contents of the book so quickly..."

Thinking about it, the emperor scratched his head, feeling a little guilty.For some reason, he always felt that Zhou Xun's expression just now...was weird.

...hope he doesn't see it.

He thought about it for a while on the table, and then gave up.It's not early now, and it's time for him to go back to his bedroom to rest.After thinking about it, he still called Xiao Lizi in.

Xiao Lizi walked in after hearing the sound.Before the emperor opened his mouth, he said obediently: "Master, do you want to ask Mr. Zhou about it?"

emperor:……

The emperor nodded vaguely.Xiao Lizi said: "Young Master Zhou has gone back to the side hall just now, the slave looked at him, he walked a little fast, not as usual."

emperor:……

He scratched his head, feeling guilty for a while, so he warned Xiao Lizi: "You should keep your mouth tight about my purchase of communication skills books, and don't reveal it to anyone!"

Little Li nodded hurriedly.The emperor recalled Xiao Lizi's usual bad habits, and added: "Especially don't disclose it to Mr. Zhou!"

"Oh my lord, is this slave such a loose-mouthed person?" Xiao Lizi immediately pointed to the sky, "And this matter, no matter who the slave will reveal to anyone, he will not reveal it to Young Master Zhou!"

The emperor nodded in satisfaction.Xiao Lizi said again: "After all, who in the palace doesn't know that the emperor bought this book for the sake of Young Master Zhou!"

Emperor: ...Your words are really weird.

The emperor said to Xiao Lizi again: "A few days ago, I sent someone to your hometown to investigate—"

Little Lizi immediately raised his head.

"The year your sister was separated from you, there was a famine in Qinghe. She was four years old and was sold to the boss for food. My people found out that your sister was bought by a dealer, and then the dealer took the children away. Xiliang——" the emperor said slowly, "our people are not very good at Xiliang, so the investigation will be slower."

"Your Majesty!" Xiao Lizi immediately knelt down.He kowtowed and said: "Your Majesty is so kind and virtuous, this slave will definitely repay you with a straw title! Now this slave has only his younger sister in this world. If he can find out the whereabouts of his younger sister, even if it's just a skeleton... In this life, this slave will be nothing but a skeleton." Satisfied!"

"I said I would find someone for you, so naturally I want to help you find out." The emperor waved his hand, "Go to bed!"

At this moment, Zhou Xun in the side hall was tossing and turning as he discovered the secret for himself on the bed.
