[Lu Zhen] Empress Dowager is difficult

It should belong to him, if he inherits the throne, he doesn't feel sorry for Gao Zhan.And mentioned the past, so as to teach him to understand that if it is necessary to calculate the favor, Yu Shi also owes a large debt to their mother and son.The second is to wake up Gao Yan and make him understand that he is the queen's biological son. If he wants the throne, the queen will naturally help him fight for it.

After hearing her words, Gao Yan lowered his eyes slightly, showing no signs of appeasing his anger.

Zhaojun looked at her in horror, feeling that this girl was really different from before.At the beginning when Lou Zhao sent her into the palace, he had boasted about the existence of heaven and earth, which made Zhaojun not want to see her for several days, but looking at it now, this girl is not only smart, she is really smart!

But having said that, although Qing Qiang's words are very touching, if they were normal, they might not be able to move Gao Yan.Probably the words she said to him yesterday morning had some effect on his mind, making him willing to think in this direction.

Zhaojun acted as if suddenly realized, put his left hand on his forehead, and laughed out loud: "I never thought of this." Then he turned his head to look at Gao Yan, and said with a dark face: "Yan'er, you used to say that you You didn't want to be the emperor, you said you were afraid you owed Zhan'er too much, so the queen mother gave up the idea of ​​letting you be the emperor. But now, Zhan'er has disappeared, and you are the only one who can sit on the throne of Daqi. "

Gao Yan's eyes brightened and darkened several times, and the circles of his hands hanging beside his body looked like fists, and the traces of blue veins were clearly reflected on the back of his pale hands.He opened his mouth, but said nothing.

That doesn't look like the look of someone who has no idea about the throne.Zhaojun understood in his heart that with his appearance, it was enough to add another fire.

Zhaojun didn't know what kind of expression he had on his face, but it was almost the same as what he had guessed. It must be a tired look after a long sleep, and there was also a sad look that was distressed by the disappearance of his stepson. It is somewhat of the hesitation of Daqi Jiangshan's anxiety.She coughed and said, "The queen mother understands your thoughts, you are afraid that Zhan'er will come back and see you sitting on the throne will be sad, aren't you?"

Gao Zhan froze, turned his head to look at her, his eyes suddenly darkened.

Zhaojun was a little uncomfortable being looked at by him, so he coughed twice, turned his head away, and said, "Actually, you don't have to be afraid of these, the queen mother just wants to ask you today, in the face of the enemy, would you like to be the emperor? If you are willing, then the future sins will be borne by the queen mother alone. If Zhan'er comes back, he will blame you, hate you, annoy you, and the mother will stop you. You only need to understand one thing, as long as It's what you want, and the queen mother will get it for you."

What Zhaojun said was very appropriate. It not only wiped away all his worries, but also showed his mother-son friendship with him all the time.

Many stoves were lit in the hall, and the casements were slightly opened to let in air.At this moment, the night outside the window is thick, like a piece of thick and dark brocade. I can't tell what time it is, but I feel that the whole palace seems to have completely quieted down. The man who was flying sand and rolling stones, clanging and singing, also stopped.

Zhaojun sighed, and said slowly: "This is the country that your father brought down. If it is taken away by Wei Guo's thieves, I'm afraid your father will not be able to close his eyes under Jiuquan."

Gao Yan's body trembled suddenly, a bit of arrogance was revealed on his very feminine face, as if in a trance, people could see Gao Huan's appearance back then.He said with a cold voice: "Wei Guozhu! It's just a dream to try to snatch Gao's country from my great Qi Zhengzheng and Dahao Erlang!"

Zhaojun was very happy in his heart, but his face still had the usual indifferent expression, he only asked him: "Yan'er, are you determined to succeed?"

Gao Huan turned around with a flick of his sleeves, the soft orange candlelight from the candlestick covered him all over his body, and the jade belt on his crown made his handsome face more and more clear.He was silent for a while, and then said slowly: "Yes, I have decided to succeed. If Ah Zhan returns safely in the future, I will definitely return the throne to him. I swear to all the gods and Buddhas!"

Zhaojun looked at him silently, even though he still felt that he owed Gao Zhan now, he decided to wait for Gao Zhan to come back and hand over the throne to Gao Zhan.But compared to the high performances like before, it has improved a lot.Zhaojun didn't expect this son to have a big turning point overnight, and she would be satisfied if he could join forces with her to deal with Gao Zhan, and if he could be a little bit closer to her and trip her up from time to time. .

Besides, how did that sentence come from?The days are long—

Zhaojun reached out to lift the quilt, but when he raised his hand, he found that his palm was a little weak. The soft quilt covered her body like a huge boulder, and she couldn't lift it.On the other hand, Lou Qingqiang, who was at the side with sharp eyes, hurried over to help Zhaojun up, and thoughtfully put a golden silk goose feather cushion behind her.

Gao Yan walked back to the bed, leaning his back on the bed rail and said to Zhaojun: "Physician Sun mentioned it when he prescribed the medicine, and said that after taking this medicine, the whole body will be weak and drowsy. But don't be afraid, Empress, you Get some sleep and you'll be fine tomorrow morning."

Zhaojun felt that a little weakness was gradually leaching from the depths of his body and mind, and there was a dull pain between his bones.She stopped, waved her hands with Gao Yan and said, "It's late at night, you will go too. The ascension to the throne needs to be considered in the long term. Zhang and others in the court have been supporting Zhan'er's succession all these years, and now Zhan'er is coming out. After all, they have to speculate about our mother and son..."

Gao Yan hurriedly interrupted: "Did they think that we would kill Ah Zhan because we coveted the throne? Ah Zhan is my brother!"

Zhaojun was a little weak, the effect of the medicine came on very quickly, and after a while, she felt that her eyelids began to tremble.Hearing what Gao Yan said, she braced herself up a little bit, and said slowly: "It's only natural for them to speculate like this, and besides, after your father had a stroke a few days ago, I haven't come forward, even if they are If you don’t doubt it, you should also doubt Bengong..."

Gao Yan became more and more anxious, and even his warm voice in the past began to become hoarse: "On the day my father had a stroke, my mother passed out as soon as she arrived at Zhaoyang Palace, and she didn't wake up until yesterday. And if it wasn't for Ah Zhan No, the queen mother will not be in a coma until now. How could they speculate about the queen mother like this! How could they!"

Zhaojun held both of his hands in his, and patted him weakly, counting it as comfort.She said slowly: "You don't have to worry, the queen mother doesn't mind what other people think about your mother. As long as the actor believes in the mother, that's enough..." At the end of the sentence, the voice became quieter, and the tiredness swept over like a tide When it came, she felt as if her whole body was being sucked into the rolling waves, she had no strength to struggle, and could only rise and fall with the waves.

I don't know how long it took, Lou Qingqiang's voice gradually sounded in my ears, as if it came from a very far away place, and it didn't sound very real in my ears.

She said: "It's getting late at night, Your Highness should go back and rest quickly, it's enough for the empress to have Qing Qiang here. Besides, tomorrow I still have to deal with the people in the harem, as well as the concubines in the harem." , I'll have a headache by then."

Then Gao Yan's voice sounded again, oh, oh, it's a yes.

In the past, Zhaojun often heard the old man in the house mention that it was three days in a dream, but only one day in the mortal world.Although what he said was a bit untrue, after all these years, Zhaojun gradually realized that there was some meaning. Although it was not comparable to the difference between three days and the same day, there was still some difference.

Therefore, in her sleep, Zhaojun felt that Gao Yan pulled his hands out of her palms after she answered, and it seemed that a long time had passed, but when she forced herself to wake up from her sleep, Gao Yan Only a few steps away from the bed.

After Zhaojun called out, Gao Yan stopped, turned around and stared at Zhaojun.

Zhaojun smiled at him slowly, and said: "Zhan'er's whereabouts are unknown, that girl Huanyun is probably in a hurry, if you are free, go and see her and stay with her, so as to teach her not to think wildly by herself."

Gao Yan's body trembled, his eyes were red, and after a while, he said, "I will meet you. What orders does the Empress have?"

Zhaojun barely raised his eyelids, and said slowly: "It's difficult to walk at night, you should be careful. Well, I remember that there seemed to be a heavy snowfall the day before yesterday, and the queen mother has a fox fur here. You wrap it up before going out, and be careful not to wear it." freezing."

Gao Yan responded, and put his hands down in front of his body, as if listening to the words before leaving.But Zhaojun couldn't say a word, he closed his eyes and fell asleep without even getting into the bed.This sleep was so deep that even Gao Yan didn't know when he left Renshou Hall.

Probably because of the dream I had before, or because of the medicine that night, I didn't dream about those messy past events when I fell asleep this time, I just felt that I had no dreams all night, and I slept very sweetly.This was something she never dared to hope for in her previous life.During those suffering days, she sat alone by the window and waited for dawn, not daring to fall asleep.

This is a kind of fear, to put it bluntly, it is a conscience.After all, she can't become a cold-blooded and heartless person, even if the past hurt her too much.

This is really a sad thing.

Zhaojun slept through the night, and came to such a conclusion when he was about to wake up the next day.She opened her eyelids, and the hall still looked like cigarettes were curling up, but the bright sunshine had already covered her entire mattress, which made her feel very comfortable.

She froze for a moment, and realized that the sunlight came from the open window on her side.She turned her head and glanced sideways, and saw Qing Qiang, who was clean and energetic, was standing at the window. When Zhaojun looked over, she just raised her hand, and a gray bird fluttered from her hand. La la" flew away.

Qing Qiang clapped her hands, turned around, and saw Zhaojun on the bed staring at her with a pair of black eyes, she couldn't help but froze for a moment.Immediately, she laughed, proudly raised the inch-long cloth in Zhaojun's hand, and said, "Auntie, guess what, those undercover soldiers I sent to kill Gao Zhan brought me What good news has come?"

The author has something to say: ╮(╯▽╰)╭The author wishes everyone a happy school.

After writing this, Gao Yan has almost solved it, and now he is starting to prepare to pull Gao Zhan out.

The last few chapters have been written very slowly, because I feel that Gao Yan’s relationship with Gao Zhan has been so good since he was a child. If he wants to provoke the brotherhood between them, he needs to do it slowly and slowly disintegrate his will.

☆, discuss

Zhaojun woke up from the dream, his face was a little sleepy, he only glanced at Qing Qiang in front of the window, and said: "What good news made you so happy so early in the morning?" He sat up a little more propped up, Rubbing his forehead, he thought of a question: "Where do carrier pigeons come from in winter? The bird in your hand just now doesn't look like a carrier pigeon."

In the early years, Zhaojun didn't know that homing pigeons would lose their usual accuracy in winter, and he suffered a lot for this.Thinking about it, after her cousin Ah Xun, who was fostered by her ancestral family in the Lou Mansion, got married, Zhaojun often corresponded with her.At first, a carrier pigeon flew from one end to the other, passing the middle letter quickly, and then this speed decreased as the weather became cooler.For this reason, Zhaojun also specially wrote a letter, in addition to the tens of thousands of words mentioned above, just to explain her point of view.

This point of view holds that the weather is so cool now that people have to wrap their clothes tightly when walking outside, and naturally homing pigeons are no exception.In the process of sending letters, the carrier pigeon must stop and shake its body to keep warm after flying for a period of time, and then stop and shake its body to keep warm after flying for a period of time, which obviously reduces the efficiency of the carrier pigeon.And she thinks that when the weather cools to the limit, there will be a few more factors that affect the accuracy of the delivery of the carrier pigeons, such as food. Looking for food everywhere in the vast world.Of course, this is not a big deal, but it must be known that food is hard to find in winter, and homing pigeons may become food for other animals while looking for food.

Zhaojun had a premonition that after receiving this letter, Ah Xun would sincerely admire her logical ability, and would reply a letter praising her as a talent for governing the country, a heroine among women, and so on.

It took a full month for Zhaojun to arrive at another variegated carrier pigeon that shrugged and fell dusty on her desk one afternoon. He pulled out the letter from the middle and looked at the window. There were only three words written on it: "What did you say?"

Zhaojun suddenly felt that no one could understand her full of talent, but after thinking about it, she felt that since Cousin A Xun was a few years younger than her, her mind was also developed a few years later than her. It is normal for her not to understand such profound truths.So he wrote a letter of tens of thousands of words, and put a bigger bamboo tube on the leg of the carrier pigeon, threw it out of the window sill and let it fly.

The gray carrier pigeon still staggered a bit when it flew.

After waiting in the room for a while, Zhaojun still felt a little worried about whether the frail carrier pigeon could carry the letter of tens of thousands of words, so he lifted his skirt and slipped out of the room.

Before she had slipped far, she saw the carrier pigeon by a pool at a corner, being roasted on the fire by her very shameful brother.The reason why she can recognize the carrier pigeon is because of the pile of dusty miscellaneous hairs on the ground next to it...

Zhaojun suddenly burst into anger from his throat to the top of his head, making a buzzing sound.She stepped up to Lou Zhao's side, raised his ear, pointed at the carrier pigeon and said, "Do you know what this is?"

Lou Zhaozhen looked up at her innocently, and after a while, said, "Pigeon! Would you like to eat some together?" He licked the corners of his lips, and said, "I don't know who is so stupid to give pigeon legs A big bamboo tube was tied to the roof, and the tired pigeon couldn’t fly high, so it hit the wall directly. Well, this is already the second one.”

Zhaojun clutched his chest and was about to faint. Afterwards, he added precautions for using homing pigeons—cold weather, heavy rain, food, natural enemies, and Lou Zhao...

These things can only be regarded as a joke when I think about it now, but the habit formed by this joke in Zhaojun's eyes cannot be erased for a while.That's why she asked such a question.

Lou Qingqiang was a little dazed, and laughed after a while: "What did aunt say, that was just a carrier pigeon, aunt must have woken up from a dream, and her eyes were blurred to see the carrier pigeon. It doesn't look like a carrier pigeon anymore! Aunt Looking at Qing Qiang, does it look like Qing Qiang?"

Zhaojun was yawning, but when Qing Qiang said this, he stopped abruptly, put one hand around his mouth, but glanced at Qing Qiang by the window from the corner of his eyes, and said frankly, "It's not like that."

According to Zhaojun's eyes, Miss Lou Qingqianglou by the window was indeed stiff for a moment, but she reacted very quickly, with a bright smile on her face, and walked to Zhaojun's side Come on, and coquettishly said: "My aunt loves to tease Qing Qiang the most, if Qing Qiang is not Qing Qiang, who else would it be?"

Well, this question is somewhat difficult.

Looking at Qing Qiang these few days, Zhao Jun felt that this girl was a bit too clever, and she was not quite the same as the little girl from the Lou family in her memory.At the beginning, she also felt that because she was a person who lived another life, her state of mind was a little different, so she also felt that Qing Qiang was more pleasing to the eye when looking at Qing Qiang.But now it doesn't look like that.

If it is said that in the eyes of Lou Qingqiang back then, there was indeed such a happy little girl, in her memory, that little girl did not have the viciousness and scheming later at this age, but now it seems that this little girl not only kept In spite of the exhilaration of the past, he also retained a bit of vicious thoughts and austerity.

Of course, this is not a bad thing.

But Zhaojun always felt that this girl didn't look like Lou Qingqiang, but the question she asked just failed Zhaojun, if she wasn't Qingqiang, who else could it be?

Zhaojun was stunned, and slowly drifted through an answer that had been saved a long time ago in his mind, but this answer was the first one she denied, and now he picked it up again and looked a bit suspicious.She can be reborn as a human being, so why can't Lou Qingqiang?

This thought startled her, but Zuo Zuo was still an old thought after all, and it didn't scare her much.Back then, because Gao Zhan forced her into a desperate situation, she could only cut off her arm, and forcibly abandoned Qing Qiang, a pawn who had followed her for so many years. Qing Qiang must have resentment in her heart.If she lived again now, she might have a different heart.

But she didn't look like a person with great resentment, her eyebrows and eyes were gentle, and when she smiled, there were two deep dimples on her cheeks.

Zhaojun was in a daze for a while, and when he came back to his senses, he felt that Qing Qiang was slowly pushing her hand.Zhaojun raised his eyes to look at her, and saw Qing Qiang handing over the cloth that was more than an inch long in her palm as if offering a treasure, and said with crooked eyebrows: "Look, aunt, everything you ordered is done, Gao Zhan has already done it." He was put under house arrest by our people, and we can deal with him when King Changshan ascends the throne."

Zhaojun was so startled that he trembled again, he thought for a while that he didn't seem to have given this order before, and then he remembered again.When she first woke up from a real dream, she felt that she had failed to kill Gao Zhan in her previous life to vent her anger. In this life, she must cut him severely to vent her hatred.But if someone killed him directly, wouldn't it be a waste of money for him?And if she finds someone else to kill him, all she will get is a few black letters on the cloth to prove his death, so it's really painless to come like that.

Furthermore, her disposition is quite different from before, and she knows what it means to be kind-hearted and soft-hearted.Therefore, when she issued the order to execute Doctor Xu that night, she also ordered Qing Qiang to find some dark men who were stronger in hands and feet, and who could not speak but could write, to stop him who was about to return. Gao Zhan from Beijing.One is to persuade Gao Yan to save some time for her, and hold the sovereignty firmly in his hands.Secondly, she felt that she had killed Gao Zhan so many times in the previous life, but she never really killed him. If she missed again this time, but she could not persuade Gao Yan to ascend the throne, Gao Zhan would return to the palace. It was a real catastrophe.If he was trapped, it would at least give her an idea.

Zhaojun no, Qing Qiang said again: "We also rescued the girl my aunt ordered, and now she is recuperating in a wooden house in the forest in the west of the city." After a short pause, she showed some doubts on her face , said: "Auntie locked up Gao Zhan, Qing Qiang can understand some of the reasons why, but why does Auntie care so much about that girl?"

The sunlight outside the window became warmer and warmer, the snow on the eaves gradually melted, and the melted snow water dripped onto the ground, hitting the bluestone slabs with loud noises.

Zhaojun yawned for the second time slowly, and his eyes settled on a red plum tree protruding from a corner by the window. The snow water reflected the red plum, making it more beautiful.She was a little careless: "Do you think, compared with the discomfort in the body or the discomfort in the heart, which one can make people feel more uncomfortable?"

She turned her head slowly, with a smile on her lips, and asked herself: "Of course it's in my heart, isn't it? If this girl is destined to fall in love with the man who rescued her, and this man also falls in love with the rescuer His girl. Then this man has a weakness."

Qing Qiang was a little stunned, but felt something was wrong, she frowned slightly and said, "But the person Gao Zhan likes is Xiao Huanyun, my aunt can deal with Xiao Huanyun, why is it so tiring? And if Gao Zhan Zhan can't fall in love with that girl, so what should I do?"

Zhaojun sighed, but smiled lightly on his face: "It's just a small gamble. If Ben Gong loses, that girl is just an abandoned merchant girl anyway, what can be turned upside down?" Storm? But if Ben Gong wins, Gao Zhan's weakness will be in Ben Gong's hands, will he still be afraid of him turning the world upside down? As for Xiao Huanyun, she is an actress after all..." She lowered her head, with a smile on her cheek. His smile became brighter and brighter, but he stopped talking.

Qing Qiang nodded, turned around to close the window, but stopped in the middle of the walk.He turned around and raised his hand to pat himself on the head, and said angrily, "Auntie, I actually forgot about this matter. The General seemed to know what Auntie was thinking these days. Several of Zhan's henchmen have been exiled."

Zhaojun was taken aback for a moment, and went through the entire court's huge position system in his mind, and finally settled on the position of the general. The reliable Lou Zhao.

Qing Qiang walked back a few steps, with a look of despair on her face: "Also, there is one more thing I forgot..."

Zhaojun glanced at her.

Qing Qiang drooped her head, raised her head in embarrassment, glanced at Zhaojun quickly, then lowered her head again, mumbling for a long time before saying: "Master Zhang has handed over several memorials, and said I have something important to discuss with my aunt..."

Zhang Xiang, uh, this is the main force supporting Gao Zhan.Zhaojun cast a helpless glance at the girl in front of her with her head drooping and her sleeves twisted, and felt that her deliberation just now was nothing but worrying. Junior!

The author has something to say: ╮(╯▽╰)╭ Zhang Xiang is about to debut.

After Zhang Xiang sings, Gao Yan ascends the throne and Gao Zhan enters the stage.Well, looking at this trend, Gao Zhan is about to come out for a walk.

In recent days, Gao Zhan's Xipi problem has caused me a lot of headaches. Is there anyone who can help me out?

☆, sister

Qing Qiang said that Zhang Xiang begged to see her, and Zhao Jun felt that this matter was a bit unbelievable.

Gao Zhan is the wise monarch he wants to assist with all his heart. Now that Gao Zhan's whereabouts are unknown, Zhao Jun will not be so stupid as to think that he will come to surrender to him.As cautious as he is, even if he wants to surrender, he should wait until the news of Gao Zhan's death is confirmed and he has seen Gao Zhan's body with his own eyes, and he is a person who looks down on the Xianbei people from the bottom of his heart.

Since he was not surrendering, Zhaojun had nothing to worry about, so he ordered people to bring in water, added a few heaters, and took a good bath, which was also regarded as bathing and burning incense, to show the sincerity of sending Gao Huan to the funeral .It is probably because he has been a little busy these days, and he has been lying on the bed for a few days, and he has never taken a bath. This time his whole body soaked in the water, and he suddenly felt very greasy on his body.With a pinch of hands, a thin layer of black mud came out.

Zhaojun didn't pay attention either, and only asked someone to change the water a few times, until the water in the barrel was clear before it came out of the tub.Because of Gao Huan's death, the entire court situation is completely unknown, even her Hall of Renshou is no exception.When I woke up, even the veil in front of the bed was replaced with white, and there were a few very upright white velvet flowers on the dressing table, which was very cute.

Qing Qiang stood behind her, tied up her soft black hair, put it in a chignon, and tied it up carefully.Taking another two steps back to have a look, he raised his hand and took out a gold step rocker from the mahogany box on the dressing table, and was about to put it on for Zhaojun.But was stopped by Zhaojun.Zhaojun pointed to the velvet flowers on the side, and said to her: "Use velvet flowers, the emperor just left, and now those who wear gold and silver jewelry are too eye-catching."

Qing Qiang loosened her steps again and turned her hand to get the velvet flower.

After Zhaojun finished washing and dressing up, Lamei led a group of palace maids to bring in breakfast.Seeing the appetizing appearance of the few dishes on the table, she greeted Qing Qiang to sit down, and together they ate the few delicate dishes on the table with a bowl of glutinous rice soup.Then they took Qing Qiang's hand and walked out slowly to meet and greet each other.

Zhaojun has lived in the palace for decades, but he is not very familiar with the roads in the palace.She doesn't have a good memory, and her ability to recognize the way is even worse.But this does not mean that she is a road idiot, she is just a little paranoid and doesn't like the winding road in the palace and the walls that are more than three feet high.It's like a birdcage, and it's a birdcage with walls that don't have much ventilation.

Zhaojun didn't quite understand why the emperor's houses were built so complicated and airtight all the time, and why such high palace walls were built.This question puzzled her for more than a year, but she couldn't find an answer in the end.So she chose a day to ask Gao Huan for advice on this issue.At that time, Gao Huan was sitting in front of the table, holding a memorial brought up from below, when he heard Zhaojun's question, he just paused his fingers and didn't look up.

Zhaojun put on a respectful appearance as if he would like to hear more about it, and sat right under his left hand.

After a long time, his clear and cold voice came slowly: "It seems that the people will be afraid if the house is built high."

Zhaojun stroked his chin, and finally realized that the Tian family's prestige was simply a matter of whether the house was built high or not.Then I thought about it again, if someone wanted to build a house taller than Miyagi in the future, wouldn't he be trying to usurp the throne?Amitabha, don't those who want to usurp the throne first save money to build a house taller than this palace city?

Naturally, these are gossip.

Zhaojun was sitting in the carriage, it was very bumpy, and the sound of wheels could be heard endlessly.Zhaojun got bored after sitting for a long time, so he lifted a corner of the curtain and leaned against the window to look out.At first, she was still somewhat interested in looking at the scenery outside the window, but it didn't take long for her to realize that when she looked out from the carriage, all she could see was an endless blue city wall.The carriage didn't seem to intend to drive out of the palace gate, she turned her head to look at Qing Qiang, and Qing Qiang looked back at her in a very unpredictable way.

The carriage drove around the palace road for two or three cups of tea, when the eunuch driving the carriage said: "Here we are".Zhaojun lifted the curtain and looked out, and saw the gate of a magnificent palace. Looking up again, the three big characters on the plaque seemed to be piercing through the back of the paper - Dezheng Palace.

Zhaojun was a little dazed. In her eyes, all the words with the word "tongzheng" were outer palaces, and those places were places where she, a concubine, had no right to set foot.

But when he turned around and asked Qing Qiang, the result he got was that this was indeed the place where Zhang Xiang asked to meet.

But after the questioning, a light flashed in Zhaojun's mind, and he felt a little blessed. Now she is not just the Concubine Lou Gui, she is now the queen, and she will be the empress dowager in the future.As a child, it is not impossible for her to attend the court even if she is young.Therefore, she can naturally set foot in these places that only men can set foot in.

But the name of this place is really strange, it is not the place where Gao Huan was when he was in court, nor is it the place where Gao Huan likes to review memorials on weekdays.Zhaojun thought about it in his heart for a long time, but he didn't remember the origin of this place, so he couldn't help feeling a little uneasy.Most of this uneasiness comes from being at a loss, and she is at a loss now.

If everything in the dream meant that she could live her whole life, but now it was gradually starting to be a little different from the dream.In that dream, until Gao Yan ascended the throne, Zhang Xiang waited and watched, and retorted a few words without pain in the court.But Zhaojun knew very well in his heart that if he really swears to guard Gao Zhan to the death, he should quietly take his whole family away when he first learned of Gao Zhan's whereabouts, and then do his best in the court. The duty of a loyal minister.Naturally, this duty is likely to hit a wall and die in the end.

But he didn't, he didn't do anything, he didn't send someone to Gao Zhan secretly, he didn't come to surrender, and he didn't plan for his family.To put it bluntly, he is just a grass on the wall, standing on the wall and watching the situation.

The Lou family is coming in menacing ways, and Gao Yan's ascension to the throne is imperative. He dare not surrender rashly because he is worried that Gao Zhan is not dead, and he will come back.Naturally, Gao Zhan is not scary, what is scary is the power of the Rouran clan behind him.If he surrendered to the Lou family at this time, but Gao Zhan came back with the Rouran army, then he would definitely be uprooted by Gao Zhan.After Gao Yan ascended the throne, he uttered nonsense in the court, but he never made any real threats, and it was the same reason.He is not guarding the throne for Gao Zhan, he is guarding for himself.He acted like a loyal minister just to prevent Gao Zhan from coming back to blame him for being unfaithful one day. At that time, he could prove to Gao Zhan that even when the Lou family occupied Chao Gang, he had guarded the throne for him!

How could Zhaojun not know his thoughts.

In that dream, she asked Lou Zhao to send several teams of soldiers to surround Zhang Xiang's family.It was just a posture, just to let him understand that he had to pick a corner to fall this weed on the wall today, otherwise he would not be allowed to fall on both corners.Obviously, it is better to offend one party than to offend both parties.

Therefore, on that day in the court, Zhang Lian, who usually yelled that he was very sincere, didn't even struggle for a moment, so he started to shout, long live the emperor, long live, long live, long live.

But what about now?

Zhaojun has not yet troubled him, but he came to the door first, which is really confusing.This kind of bewilderment stems from the deviation between the actual situation and the appearance in memory, and this kind of bewilderment brings out a bit of fear.But she is a person who is very good at whitewashing the peace, and she is so confused that she can't see the direction, but the corner of her mouth forced a very friendly smile.

Following Qing Qiang's strength, she got out of the carriage, and before walking a few steps, she saw a person sitting at a stone table among the flowers and trees behind the waterside curved bridge beside the red wall.It was a little far away, and there were faint outlines of flowers and trees in the middle, so people really couldn't see what that person looked like, only thought that he was wearing a court dress, and he should be Zhang Xiang.

Zhaojun took two steps in the direction of that person, and felt that Qing Qiang, who had supported her along the way, had let go of her hand. When she turned her head, Qing Qiang was still standing two steps behind her.

Zhaojun was suspicious, and said: "Aren't you going with me?"

Qing Qiang's face was slightly startled, as if a little shocked: "Qing Qiang has to guard here, so that no one else passes by."

Zhaojun turned his head and thought about it, this is indeed the reason, she is a female family member of the inner palace, if others see her meeting with foreign officials here in private, it is estimated that she will be misunderstood.Thinking about it again, as a foreign official, Zhang Xiang naturally couldn't enter the inner palace to ask to see her, and she couldn't invite him to the inner palace to meet her.She is still just a queen now, if it is known that she is not in the inner palace, the emperor sneaks out to meet foreign officials while crying in mourning, well, this will still be misunderstood.

No matter which direction you think about, most of them will be misunderstood.

Thinking about it this way, Zhang Xiangqiu's meeting outside the Hall of Virtue and Government had been well thought out, and there was still some element of her consideration in this thoughtful thinking.He even thought of talking in this garden that can be seen in all directions, instead of talking in five rooms with four sides and roofs where people can eavesdrop.With such a delicate thought, Zhaojun has to sigh, this is really a talent...

Zhaojun took two steps calmly, the palace seemed to be full of people, not even the palace maids saw a single one.The snow accumulated in the past few days has not been cleaned, and now you can still see a few pieces of unmelted old snow between the grass behind the flowers and trees.The flowers and trees planted in the courtyard are all white plums, which are different from the wintersweet in her palace, and do not have such a strong fragrance.

Zhaojun stepped on the bluestone road, and the west wind blowing through the hall blows the white velvet flowers on her hair, pouring them into her wide sleeves, filling the sleeves, and a faint fragrance of plum blossoms wafts from the tip of her nose.

She stopped three steps behind the figure in the red court dress, but the man still turned his back to her, as if he hadn't noticed that there was someone standing behind her.
