Chapter 444
"What day is it now?" Liang Huanqing rarely finished handling the government affairs. She closed her eyes and lay under the crabapple tree in Qianning Palace to rest. She hadn't rested under the tree like this for a long time. Now all the crabapple flowers have withered. Liang Huanqing But I still remember clearly the last look of the Begonia flower, which was fiery red.
After handling the funeral of the Queen Mother a few days ago, Liang Huanqing took a rare break.
Yue Bai and Tang Xue were waiting on the side, because the person in charge of the government at this time was the Queen. He Sheng and He Yu from the Qinzheng Palace also came to help. They were the people who assisted the emperor and were very good at handling government affairs. With their help, Liang Huanqing will feel more relaxed.
Si Nanping drew up a list of corrupt officials in the court. This was something Qi Jingqin and Si Nanping had been secretly investigating before, and found that they were more or less related to the Lu family. It was just that the late emperor had When dealing with this matter, we just killed the chicken to scare the monkeys and did not deal with everyone. It was also because some people hid it too deeply.
Now that they have escaped the late emperor, they have begun to intensify their efforts. Originally, they thought that the empress would not be able to control the government, and some voices of rebellion began to appear. However, the empress and Liang Ji had military power. , coupled with the fact that there are still many high-ranking courtiers sworn to defend the Celestial Empire, they dare not make such a blatant mistake.
But now there are some rumors all over the country, and more of them are on the border. Some neighboring countries have begun to intensify their plundering of their small towns on the border. The people on the border are in dire straits, so we must quickly deal with the dregs of the court, so that we can have a way to show it. People from other countries still respect the power of the Chinese dynasty.
This thing is easy to say but not easy to do. Liang Huanqing has not rested for several days. Qin Yuandao is accompanying her to read the memorial. There are many rules and regulations that she does not understand, so she just asks Qin Yuandao for advice. Qin Ruilan knows. They all just regretted that they were not men and could not go to court to help Liang Huanqing's sister solve her problems.
Later, Liang Huanqing would still plot with Si Nanping on how to deal with those corrupt officials. This matter could not be made public, so they could only discuss it privately.
But after all, Si Nanping and Liang Huanqing were alone now. Although they were in a deep palace, it was still inappropriate. Many times, it was He Yu who brought words to Si Nanping and transmitted them between the two.
Liang Huanqing was extremely tired these days, but still asked about the emperor's whereabouts every day.
There are rumors among the people that Liang Huanqing planned this accident and used Qi Jingyang's help to get rid of Qi Jingqin and the Queen Mother, so that he can take charge of the government. I am afraid that in a few years, the Qi royal family will become the Liang royal family.
This is something that couldn't be more absurd. The government arrested and punished all those who spread rumors. The purpose is to worry that the spread of rumors will weaken the people's morale and lead to serious troubles.
It's not easy for anyone nowadays, and Liang Huanqing is even more tired.
Yue Bai and Tang Xue felt sorry for the Empress, but they could only do odd jobs on the side and could not help at all. Now that the Empress asked this question, Yue Bai knew what she was asking.
"Replying to the Queen, this is the thirty-sixth day." Yuebai asked cautiously.
On the thirty-sixth day when the emperor disappeared, no one could be found, and no body was found. Along the river, every village was searched. As long as there were villages with records, Wei Shen and Zhao Zhao searched them all.
After all, Zhao Zhao has been sent to guard the border area, and Wei Shen is the only one left who does not give up and leads people to look for him every day. As long as there is a little hope, they will not let him go.
The clan and various aristocratic families also sent people to find her in order to prove that the Queen was not guilty of any manipulation, but there was no trace of her.
Liang Huanqing opened her eyes and took a simple nap, which was completely unable to reconcile the fatigue in her eyes. Her bright and charming eyes were now full of fatigue, her eye sockets were slightly red, and she was very desperate in her heart. Everyone knew that time had passed more and more.
The longer it takes, the less hope there is of finding the emperor.
"Still no news?" Liang Huanqing knew it, but always thought that when he woke up after a nap, Qi Jingqin would stand under the tree and look at him with a smile.
Qi Jingqin didn't smile often. He always had a very serious look. Liang Huanqing kept the rare smiles in his heart and looked them up when he missed him.
Although he knew that Qi Jingqin was just using his feelings, it had been a long time since he had seen him and he didn't know where he was or whether he was still alive. When everything was unknown, Liang Huanqing couldn't care about that.
Yuebai and Tang Xue looked at each other and said cautiously: "Queen, you don't have to worry too much. Your Majesty and the good people have their own destiny. Now that there is no bad news, this is the greatest good news."
Liang Huanqing lay on the imperial concubine's couch with her head raised, looking up at the slowly withering leaves, she said: "I and the emperor got married in this season, right? I still remember that day when the autumn breeze was cool, the emperor brought
I ran out of Prince Jing's Mansion with me, and on the lake where I first met him, there were thousands of lake lanterns, like the Milky Way in the sky. At that time, I felt that he was the beloved in my heart. But I didn't expect that,
It hasn't started yet, I haven't fully understood his living habits yet.
Sometimes I really think about why I want to be a queen. If I marry an ordinary person with no power, it would be fine. He and I live in seclusion in the mountains and forests. The situation outside has nothing to do with us. We can be self-sufficient and have enough food and clothing.
Together for life...
If possible, if we can have a few more fat babies, life with children will definitely be busy and interesting."
Speaking of this, tears oozed from the corners of Liang Huanqing's eyes again. In these short thirty-six days, she couldn't count how many tears she had shed.
Seeing that the Empress was crying again, Yuebai quickly took out a handkerchief and handed it to the Empress, saying: "Empress, please don't cry anymore. The imperial doctor said that your body is already weak. It will be bad if you cry again and damage your eyes."
Now, slave, can I give you a hot towel to apply on it? It will make you feel better."
After hearing this, Tang Xue quickly instructs the waiter behind to bring hot water and towels to hand over.
Yuebai applied it to the Queen's eyes, which would make them less swollen and make her feel more comfortable.
Liang Huanqing thought that now he could only rely on himself. If he fell, he didn't know what big trouble would happen. The people he cared about were still alive, so even for them, he couldn't fall down like this.
Liang Huanqing believes that Qi Jingqin will come back one day. There is no bad news, it is the best news. At the moment, there is no other way but to look for it...
