After the humble spare tire set the car overturned

If this is the case, shouldn't you be happy that her husband is in prison?

Lou Yue didn't say this sentence.

Chaoci was slightly stunned, as if he didn't expect Lou Yue to say this suddenly.

Then he couldn't help laughing, without any nervousness at all: "Cousin was just ignorant at that time."

"She was only thirteen or fourteen years old at the time, and she didn't understand anything. Seeing that the concubine was born beautiful, she said that she wanted to marry the concubine. The concubine only had brother-sister affection for her, and she never crossed the line. Naturally, she couldn't delay her. Later, she married Yang Zhen. Yang Zhen was an upright person, a clean official, and talented and virtuous. Although his life was not very rich, he treated my cousin very well. I don't care anymore."

The folk customs of Da Chu are relatively open, and it is not uncommon for women to actively pursue their sweethearts before marriage.

Lou Yue was noncommittal, his eyes fell on the perch soup that Chao Ci served him.

Unexpectedly, Chao Ci hit him straight: "Why did Your Majesty ask such a question suddenly? Are you jealous?"

Lou Yue shifted his gaze to him, feeling a little cold.

Chao Ci is not afraid of this, he said with a smile: "The concubine really has admiration for His Majesty, and I can't wait to write these two words on my face, can Your Majesty really not see it?"

"..."

It's not that he can't see it.

Who can't see it?In the youth's eyes is the most sincere and straightforward envy, the appearance of loving someone completely.He never hides his love. Those literary talents praised by outsiders as unparalleled in the world are used by him to write poems to appeal to him. Hands that were not touched by spring water in the past planted flowers and grass for him and made soup for him. .

But...these are so good that they are a little light.

Even when it comes to bed matters, no matter how excessive Lou Yue's demands are, Chaoci will

They had never met before, and on the second day of their wedding, he made him drink Bizi Tang.He has always been sarcastic and seldom has good looks... How can such a Lou Yue be worthy of Chaoci's liking?

He placed Chaoci as the lord of the six palaces, and Chaoci managed the harem in an orderly manner.He deliberately favored some concubines in order to deceive others, but he did not see any jealousy in Chaoci.

Chaoci's liking seems to be devoted wholeheartedly, but also seems to be superior.He can completely tolerate Lou Yue, even indulge him, but Lou Yue never sees through him.

He knew that Chaoci had only brother-sister affection for the Naning family, and knew that Chaoci could not have any other thoughts about those women in his harem... But he couldn't help but ask.

You really like me?Why should I make you like me?

Lou Yue suppressed the obscurity in his eyes, paused, and then asked again: "Yang Zhen is a thousand-year Jinshi."

"This year's palace examination has only been over a month... If you hadn't entered the palace before, you should be the number one scholar this year. Just like your father, you won three yuan in a row."

Chao Ci seemed to understand Lou Yue's meaning.

Thinking about it carefully, if it was the original court speech, would he really not complain?

He is amazingly talented, and since he was a child, his goal has been to obtain fame and plead for the people, and it has been so for nearly twenty years.Once entering the palace, everything is nothing.

From then on, he was surrounded by the red wall all his life, competing with those women to beg for a man's favor.

How could he have no grievances at all, he could have displayed his ambitions in a wider world, but now he is trapped in a square inch.

This is actually the knot in the heart of Chaoci in the previous life when he first entered the palace.It's just that people can't indulge in what they have lost. Chao Ci is a person who is easy to look away from. Later, he and Lou Yue fell in love with each other and joined hands for a lifetime. In fact, there is nothing dissatisfied.

I always want to hold everything in my hands, but I am not greedy enough.

These court speeches have long been seen through, and he has relived his life, and he has long been not attached to them.

But before he could say anything, Lou Yue could see his initial silence.

"That's all." Lou Yue said, "I will thoroughly investigate the matter of Yang Zhen."

In fact, even if Chao Ci did not ask him to come, Yang Zhen would not be guilty of this.

That corruption case involved dozens of people, Yang Zhen was just pushed out as a scapegoat.Yang Zhen is Chao Mingzhi's protégé, and Chao Mingzhi's standing on Lou Yue's side has actually caused dissatisfaction in many aristocratic families... There are many twists and turns in the officialdom, but that's it.

…………

Another half year.

The corruption case half a year ago seemed to be the trigger for Lou Yue to clean up the imperial court thoroughly, following the vine and uprooting a large number of forces.Only those aristocratic families knew that the emperor whom they looked down upon had grown to this extent.They thought that the emperor was isolated and helpless in the court, but in fact they were the ones who were isolated.

The blood on the execution ground could not fade away.

The turmoil in the court hall was about to subside just now.

The day of this year's draft is also approaching.

Today, the Yishan Banquet was held in the Yishan Tower as usual. I heard that the emperor would also come to the Yishan Banquet, so the literati at the banquet became more energetic, talking and giving pointers.

They were all waiting for Lou Yue to arrive, but they didn't know that Lou Yue was already in Yishan Tower.

In a hidden wing, a bright and beautiful woman sits beside Lou Yue.

She didn't want to listen to those literati's high-spirited talk, but looked at the tall man in front of her, and said hesitantly: "Now that the imperial court is in His Majesty's hands, the imperial speech is useless. Seeing that the draft is coming, His Majesty... should find someone I will say goodbye from the beginning..."

The man's gaze on her was as cold as a thorn.

Zhao Hua paused, and did not continue.

But resentment rose again in his heart.

She endured and endured, but still couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty promised to marry me earlier, but now you can't count?"

She lived a new life, and by virtue of the news and information that was one step ahead of others, she helped Lou Yue.Now that Lou Yue has become the Ninth Five-Year Venerable, is she going to be abandoned like a grass shoe?

Zhao Hua was not a very wealthy person in the past, but now it is inevitable that resentment will arise.

Lou Yue didn't answer, but glanced at Lin Cheng beside him.

Lin Cheng understood and came up to pour a cup of tea for Lou Yue.

Lou Yue picked up the tea and said slowly: "You enter the palace first, the court speech...is still useful."

"What's the use? Now the court is nothing more than His Majesty's hall of speech?" Zhao Hua asked.

Lou Yue paused, then raised his eyes and glanced at Zhao Hua.

Zhao Hua froze all of a sudden.

She knew that she was too impulsive and overstepped the rules.

"Zhaohua knows it's wrong." She bowed her head.

"If you can't be cautious in your words and deeds, you may end up in a difficult situation if you enter the palace like this." Lou Yue said.

Zhao Hua didn't speak.

But the lowered eyes were full of resentment.

Lou Yue originally promised her to marry her, if so, then she is the queen, why should he be cautious in his words and deeds?

But the one who occupies her place now is her obsequious and hypocritical elder brother.

What Zhao Hua was thinking in his heart was almost written on his face.

She used to be able to pretend a little bit, but now that Lou Yue has taken that position, she has been unable to get what she wants, and after a long time, her city will not be able to hold on.

"Let's stop here today." Lou Yue said, then got up and strode away.

Lin Cheng also followed him.

Leave Chaohua alone in the wing room.

Hearing the sound of footsteps going away, she stood up abruptly and pushed all the cups on the table to the ground.

Lou Yue fell in love with Chaoci.

No matter how stupid she is, she can see it.

What kind of magical power does Chao Ci have? A tough man can make Lou Yue fall under his hands for two lifetimes!

If so...

She clenched her hands tightly, her eyes full of insidiousness.

Chaoci, you forced me to do this.

…………

Chao Ci's mood is not very beautiful.

This guy Lou Yue didn't know what was going on, and he tossed him to death as soon as he came back from outside the palace.

From day to night, Zhaoci couldn't even cry, and could only let his consciousness float and sink.

On the second day, he had a high fever and became unconscious.

The imperial doctor came to see him, and it was nothing more than insufficient kidney water, intercourse abstinence and the like. He prescribed some medicine for Chaoci and then withdrew.

The maid who was in charge of delivering the Bizi soup to Chaoci stood in front of the bed with the soup, looking at the unconscious empress, not knowing what to do.

"Your Majesty..." she hesitated.

Lou Yue glanced at the Bizitang she was carrying.

After a while, he said, "Forget about it today."

"...Yes." The maid stepped back.

Half an hour later, the medicine prescribed for Chaoci by Tai Hospital arrived.

The maid beside Chaoci was about to serve Chaoci, but was stopped by Lou Yue.

Lou Yue took the bowl of soup by himself, and said, "You all go down."

"Yes." Several palace officials in the dormitory all retreated.

Lou Yue took the decoction and sat beside Chao Ci's bed.He hugged him to his side again, leaning half of his body on his body.

Little by little, he fed the medicine to the person in his arms.
