Your majesty, please stay in the cold palace

This brunch was very light, but the taste was good. Xu Chengze was really hungry, so he ate a lot.Maybe it was because he was in a better mood, or maybe it was because Xu Chengze was by his side, Guo Heng resumed his previous meals, and filled Xu Chengze's remaining half bowl of millet porridge and a crystal bun into his stomach.

After eating, Shuiyun came in and saw that all the food on the table was eaten up, smiling like a flower blooming on his face.Looking at the emperor again, he was refreshed, as if he was a completely different person from yesterday.

Shuiyun reconfirmed in his heart that as long as Lord Xu is around, the emperor will have no troubles.

After eating, the two just sat in silence, even if they were speechless, they could still feel the tenderness between them.

Xu Chengze took the lead to break the tranquility, "Guo Heng, are you sure that the child is not your own flesh and blood, what about your own child? Do you want to take it back?"

Guo Heng's face sank again, but it was no longer the angry and decadent yesterday.

"Of course. I have had someone secretly investigate. Yan Zheng's concubine gave birth to a daughter a few days ago.

Bleeding to death.I think that child is likely to be the one who was exchanged. Of course, do you still need a doctor to confirm it?

"

〇

"However, if you go directly to Yan's mansion to ask for a child, it is tantamount to telling Yan Zheng that you already know about his conspiracy. I'm afraid it's not appropriate.

"

〇

"Yes. I can't do that now. But I must take the child back. No matter how much the Yan family has done to me, the child is innocent."

Xu Chengze nodded, "You're right. What matters now is the Queen. If she pleads guilty, there will be a reason for everything."

"Yes!" Guo Heng sighed, hugged Xu Chengze from behind, and buried her head on his neck, "But she won't speak so easily."

Xu Chengze thought about something in his heart and let him hug him.

"If she keeps silent, it will be really troublesome. Right now Yan Zheng's party is only temporarily suppressed by us. As time goes on, he will definitely fight back."

"That's what worries me too. We cannot underestimate the power of strict governance."

''En 〇,,

Xu Chengze admitted that what Guo Heng said was right, he had only entered the court for a year, and even though he had made some adjustments and arrangements in the court, compared with the decades of Yan Zheng in the court, both in terms of time and strength, it was far behind .

How can the queen speak?Xu Chengze was completely absorbed in thinking, ignoring Guo Heng's sucking on his ears and the side of his neck

Lick and bite.

Guo Heng teased Xu Chengze for a long time, seeing that Xu Chengze didn't respond, feeling depressed, he bit Xu Chengze's earlobe.

"Ozawa, you ignore me."

Only then did Xu Chengze feel the tingling pain on his earlobe, he pushed Guo Heng's head away and turned around.

"Your Majesty, I'm thinking about something serious!"

"I want you, is it serious?"

"you!"

Xu Chengze stood up abruptly, but pulled it to an uncomfortable place, slightly pulled the corner of his mouth, but quickly returned to normal.

But Guo Heng didn't want such a small movement to be noticed, so he stood up and immediately hugged Xu Chengze.

"Ozawa, you are not feeling well, you should lie down on the bed."

Xu Chengze's body flew into the air suddenly, he was startled, but he didn't dare to struggle, for fear that he and Guo Heng would fall down together.

Fortunately, after Guo Heng put him down, he didn't move too much, just sat on the head of the bed and held him in his arms.

Xu Chengze was somewhat intoxicated in this gentle atmosphere, and it took some time before Xu Chengze forced himself to break free from this atmosphere and break the tranquility.

"Your Majesty, you... have a lot of things to do, right? Don't waste your time here."

Guo Heng seemed to dislike his sudden utterance, hugged him tightly, and said displeasedly: "Do you think it's a waste of time to be with me?

"

Even if he couldn't see his face, Xu Chengze knew that Guo Heng was angry just by hearing his voice.

He quickly said: "Of course not."

"That's good, I want to hug for a while."

Forget it, it's only one day, if the emperor doesn't approve the papers, Daliang won't collapse just like that.Xu Chengze's spirit relaxed, and he immediately felt tired, maybe it was very comfortable to be hugged like this, so he slowly closed his eyes.

When Xu Chengze woke up, the light in the room dimmed again.His expression was in a trance for a moment, but he soon became clear.

He sat up slowly and found that the sore feeling on his body was much better.The room was very quiet, and Guo Heng was no longer here.

He turned over and got out of bed, bent down with great effort, trying to put on his shoes.

He heard someone stepping in quickly and squatting in front of him, "Master Xu, let the servant come."

Xu Chengze raised his head, saw that it was Shuiyun, and said with a smile, "Don't dare to bother Eunuch Shui."

Shui Yun reached out to take Xu Chengze's shoes, and said repeatedly: "Master Xu, you are too polite. The emperor said that you want the servants to take good care of Master Xu."

Xu Chengze saw that he couldn't refuse, and besides, it was really unbearable for him to bend over, so he straightened up.

"sorry to bother you."

"Master Xu has broken the servant."

"What about the emperor?"

"The Chongwen Hall has been repaired, and the emperor went to check it out."

"Oh." After such a long time, it should be fixed.

After putting on the shoes, Xu Chengze stood up and said, "What time is it?"

"Master Xu, it's halfway through the application time, would you like something to eat?"

"No, I'm not hungry. Master Xu, where is the Empress now?"

Shui Yun was stunned for a moment, wondering why Master Xu asked this, if it was someone else, he would definitely not answer.But he knew Lord Xu's position in the emperor's heart, so he simply said: "My lord, the queen is now in the clan mansion."

"Can you take me there? I want to see the queen. If not, forget it."

"This..." Shui Yun hesitated for a moment, "Okay, Zajia will take Mr. Xu there."

Shuiyun went out and called He Zhu, and asked him to make some arrangements in advance, and then took Xu Chengze to the clan mansion.

When Xu Chengze entered the clan's mansion, Song Guoan was already waiting at the door, with a very humble attitude. He had no objection to Xu Chengze's request to see the queen, and even led the way to the place where the queen was imprisoned.

On the way, Xu Chengze briefly asked about Yan's situation.

Song Guoan smiled wryly, "The queen's empress refuses to plead guilty, it's very embarrassing for me to be an official!"

The Yan family was not locked in a prison, but in a relatively secluded empty room in the clan mansion.

The house is not big, the original wooden door has been made into a fence, and Mrs. Yan is sitting on a chair in the house.

Looking through the fence gate, the furnishings in the room are very simple, only a bed and a chair. Although small and crude, it is relatively clean and tidy.At this time, the sun had already slanted to the west, and the light in the room was very dim. Everything was so dark that it was hard to see clearly.

When Yan heard the voice, she didn't stand up, but turned around.

The distance was not far, and although the light was dim, Xu Chengze could still see Yan's appearance clearly. She had a haggard face, lost a lot of weight, her eyes were dull, her clothes were scattered and wrinkled, but she still sat upright.

When Yan saw Song Guoan, she sat still, but her eyes became sharper instantly, and she sneered, "Song Guoan, I won't plead guilty!"

When she came in for a few days, she was originally afraid, but seeing that Song Guoan did not torture to extract a confession, only questioning each day, and there was no shortage of food, so she was not afraid anymore.She felt that as long as she did not plead guilty, the emperor would definitely keep her safe because she was the second prince's mother and her father, Grand Master Yan, was away.

Song Guoan said lightly: "Mr. Yan, Mr. Xu wants to see you, please answer carefully!"

"Master Xu?"

Yan's eyes suddenly shot to Xu Chengze, and he stood up unexpectedly.

"Are you that Xu Ruoxu?"

Xu Chengze nodded, "Not bad."

Yan sneered and said, "Hehe, you really look good, no wonder the emperor treats you differently."

The words were ambiguous, Song Guoan shouted angrily, "Mr. Yan, do you remember your current identity?"

"My identity? I am the Queen of Daliang, don't you know?"

"Empress?" Song Guoan sneered, "You are already a prisoner!"

Yan's face darkened in an instant, "Song Guoan, you are just a dog raised by my father, why are you defecting to the emperor now? Hehe, I don't know if the emperor will want you, a traitorous person like you!"

Song Guoan changed his face, "The lower officials are officials from Daliang, so they are naturally loyal to the emperor. Do you know what you said just now is a big rebellion?"

Got it? "

"A big treason? You go to the emperor to sue me! Let the emperor punish the crimes of the palace!"

Xu Chengze saw that Song Guoan's face was ugly, so he said, "Master Song, go get busy first! I have something to say to the empress." After saying "resignation from the next official", he withdrew.

Seeing that Xu Chengze sent Song Guoan away, she knew that he had something to say to her, so she restrained her disdain, but still looked superior, and said coldly: "You came here on purpose, what's the matter? ?"

"My lady, I don't understand. You are already the master of the first palace. Why did you do such a thing? Now that you have done it, why don't you admit it?"

What? "

Yan snorted coldly, her face remained unchanged.

"I don't know what you're talking about? It's nonsense to say that I poisoned the emperor! As you said, I'm already the queen, and I have Xian'er, so why would I poison the emperor? Someone must have framed Ben Gong! When Ben Gong goes out and finds that person, he will definitely not be spared!"

Seeing that she had no intention of repenting, Xu Chengze shook his head.

"Your majesty, you know whether you have done it or not. However, the official came here today, not to talk about it." "Oh?" Yan raised her eyebrows that were not so delicate, "Then you are here What did you say?"

"Xiaguan was looking through the history books a few days ago, and suddenly came across a story that I wanted to tell my empress."

Yan seemed to have heard a joke, and burst out laughing, and stopped laughing after a while, "Tell me a story?"

Xu Chengze's face was still calm and serious.

"That's right. Maybe the empress has already read this story? Otherwise, how can you make a story similar to the story?" Yan snorted coldly and turned her head, "I don't know what you're talking about. "

"It's okay, after listening to the story of the minister, the empress will definitely remember it."
