play tricks around the bed

However, now Li Jue still doesn't know what will happen to him.

After Shen Zhu left, Li Jue also returned to the Political Affairs Hall, but before he could sit still, the emperor called him over.

Li Jue has been lazy in administration recently and has not been diligent in writing papers, so a lot of papers have been piled up in front of the emperor.

In the past, after Li Jue read it, he screened out the important ones, and then wrote down the countermeasures and handed them over to the emperor.

Now the emperor had to read each book by himself, which unexpectedly increased the workload so much that the elderly emperor couldn't bear it for a while.

The emperor looked at Li Jue who was smiling without a trace in front of him, and for a moment didn't know where to start.

After thinking for a long time, the emperor finally showed his majesty, stretched his face and said solemnly: "Shiyu, do you know how long you haven't been in court?"

The emperor thought that Li Jue would prevaricate him by citing his injury, so he had already invited the imperial physician order to testify that Li Jue's injury had healed a lot.

Unexpectedly, Li Jue's thin lips curled up, and he saluted the emperor in a leisurely manner: "I am guilty, but Huaizhi has recently become pregnant, and I have to take care of him in the mansion. It is not convenient for me to come to court. Do you also invite the minister to the morning court in the future?"

What the hell?

The old emperor suspected that he had misheard.

What happened to Shen Zhu?

Who has a body?

Li Jue was afraid that the emperor might not be able to hear him clearly, so he continued to repeat, "Huaizhi has been really uncomfortable lately. He vomits badly every day and can't sleep at night. I really can't let go of my heart."

The old emperor tightened his eyes.

He couldn't take it anymore.

He turned a blind eye to the rumors in the streets and alleys and pretended he didn't hear them. Now that Li Jue danced in front of him, wouldn't it be too much for him to do nothing?

He knew that Li Jue was making it clear to him that he didn't want to take care of things anymore, but he remembered that Li Jue used to be a serious talker, why did he even talk like this after being with Shen Zhu?

The emperor planned to suppress Li Jue, and said with a serious face, "Shiyu, don't joke, how can a man have a body?"

Unexpectedly, Li Jue calmly said: "Your Majesty can."

As he spoke, Li Jue calmly took out a stack of morning newspapers and scriptures from his pocket, and presented them to the emperor respectfully: "Huaizhi has already conceived eight children with my minister. If your majesty doesn't believe me, I will bring them into the palace some other day." Come and show your majesty."

Eunuch Qing, who was waiting to serve as the background board, had a headache. He couldn't listen anymore, let alone the emperor.

The emperor sighed silently.

He is so old, why does he have to watch these horrible things every day.

Looking at the mountain-like book, he seemed to gradually understand why his emperor brother was so easy-going, otherwise he would be pissed off by this gang sooner or later.

He came up by usurping the throne, so he doesn't feel at ease with anyone, he is the kind of person who wants to control everything.Even though Li Jue helped him deal with most of the matters before, he still knew everything in his mind.Now that Li Jue didn't care about it, he couldn't let go of things, so he had to take everything over.

He also tried to let other people solve the matter slowly, but others were not as smooth as Li Jue.

"Forget it, go down." The emperor gave a default answer.

Li Jue was not surprised by the emperor's overly conniving answer, he saluted and then slowly backed away.

It wasn't until Li Jue completely left the study that the old emperor put down the brush stained with cinnabar in his hand, raised his head and closed his eyes wearily.

After seeing this, Eunuch Qing immediately supported the emperor to rest.

But the emperor raised his hand and waved it, and walked towards the corridor.

Eunuch Qing followed behind and waited on him, saying: "His Royal Highness King Huai has let go of power this time, and can also restrain the young duke. It is a good thing. You can always find someone to take over the affairs of the court, and your majesty doesn't have to work too hard. .”

Eunuch Qing's words were all about caring for the emperor. The emperor thought about something for a while, but he didn't think that he was participating in the government affairs. He just shook his head and said casually, "You don't understand."

The emperor walked to the railing at the back fence and looked at the tower under his feet.

Gusts of wind blew his loose robes rattling, and Eunuch Qing hurriedly put on the fox fur for the emperor.

"I asked him to go to the Political Affairs Hall, not just for Gou'er." A trace of loneliness gradually climbed up the emperor's old face, "I also really want him to assist Gou'er, and leave him one after Gou'er ascends the throne." Good seat."

His gray beard was trembling slightly from the wind, which reminded him of his father standing in the palace like this many years ago, and transferred the throne to his brother.

He didn't understand why his father passed on the throne to his elder brother even though he was the most beloved prince at that time. Those favors in the past became a laughing stock at the moment when the decree was issued.

But now that he was in power, he suddenly discovered that his father and brother were gone, and the prince coveted his position.Except for the trifles of state affairs, big and small, the rest are gone.

The emperor looked at his increasingly gray beard, and said to Duke Qing, "Look, my beard is all gray, and I'm getting old."

Eunuch Qing was taken aback when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty is too tired from being busy with government affairs recently. Your Majesty is in that year, and he will surely live forever."

"I thought so too in the early years, but after working hard for a few months, I realized..." He seemed to want to say something, but maybe because he didn't want to admit defeat, he just sighed in the end.

On the other side, Li Jue looked at the papers delivered to the Zhengshitang in the carriage outside the palace, and Chang Wei, who was standing by, said, "Your Highness, should you go back to the Zhengshitang or the mansion?"

Li Jue raised his eyebrows and asked back, "What is this king doing back in the Political Affairs Hall?"

Chang Wei replied: "I see that His Majesty has the intention to favor His Highness, so I wonder if His Highness..."

Li Jue laughed after hearing this, tilted his head, put a finger on his head and asked with a smile: "Do you think this king is angry with His Majesty if he doesn't go to court in the near future?"

Chang Wei lowered his head and cupped his fists, not daring to answer.

"Thinking too much." Li Jue read the booklet in his hand and changed to a new one, "The reason why I don't go is because it's not time yet."

Chang Wei asked Li Jue for instructions, "Then I won't go there from now on."

"No." Li Jue answered decisively, with a calm tone.

He knew what the emperor was thinking.

When he was young, he did all the unconscionable things, and he was fierce by nature and refused to admit his mistakes, offending everyone who could kill and deceive everyone around him.When I get old and suddenly feel lonely, I want my children and grandchildren to be around my knees, so I treat Li Jue better.

When people sit in high places for a long time, their emotions will be distorted.The old emperor thought that as an emperor, it would be better to face Li Jue with a low face, and Li Jue should naturally forgive him.

Li Jue smiled mockingly, Li Jue is not that cheap.

Kill when you want to kill, and give him family happiness when you want family happiness, so that he is beautiful.

Li Jue refused to allow him to do so.

He was too lazy to think about the smoky palace, so he simply changed his mood and asked Chang Wei: "Has the troupe from the palace taken over?"

"It's all arranged." Chang Wei said, "Old Lord Hou has also arrived at the mansion."

Li Jue nodded, ordered the carriage to drive faster, and then closed his eyes to rest.

He still prefers to think about Shen Zhu.

In the past ten years, every time he came back from the palace, the huge palace was empty. He guarded such a big mansion by himself, and his home was as far away as the road ahead.

Now that Shen Zhu is here, he can find a little more warmth in the smoky capital.

By Shen Zhu's side, he didn't have to think about how to deal with the emperor's suspicion, nor did he have to worry about the affairs of the capital.The family is happy and happy.

Li Jue was thinking about Shen Zhu, full of tenderness, and rushed home with anticipation.

He seemed to have seen the smoke from cooking accompanied by the smell of rice, Shen Zhu was waiting tenderly at the door for him to go home for dinner.

It was with such a mood that Li Jue got out of the carriage, he did not expect that there was no food in Huai Wang Mansion, only a row of washboards was set up, and Shen Zhu was patrolling the door with a feather duster.

Seeing Li Jue's return, the tender Shen Zhu threw an account book on Li Jue's face from eight feet away, gritted his teeth and said, "Li Shiyu, get out here and kneel!"
