Six hundred and sixtieth chapters is to waste or conceal
Hongli lowered his eyes and said: "It's just some small things, Queen Mother doesn't need to worry."
Ling Ruo took a sip of tea and said calmly: "It's best if it's a small matter. I'm afraid it's not a small matter for the Ai family."
Hongli was struggling in his heart. He thought about it all night last night, but he still couldn't decide whether to abolish it or hide it. If he abolished it, he would tell the world that he was wrong. He loved Xinjieluo. Hongli was blind and chose the wrong queen;
If it is not abolished, Changle's spirit in heaven will not be at peace, and he will also be sorry for Xianyue.
After a long while, he squeezed out a forced smile and said, "Your Majesty, you think too much. It's really nothing serious."
How could Ling Ruo not see that Hongli was hiding something from her, as she knew her son, Mo Ruomu, but Hongli didn't want to say it, and she, the mother-in-law, couldn't force her, so she could only say: "The Ai family is tired, the emperor should step down.
"
Hongli followed his words and said, "Yes, your mother-in-law has a good rest. My son will come back to you later to say hello."
After Hongli left, Shuixiu said curiously: "Queen Mother, do you think it was the Queen who made some mistake that caused the Emperor to argue with her?"
"The Emperor has always been very kind to the Queen, so there must be no small fault in getting into disputes. The Queen..." Yang Hai shook his head and said, "Excuse me for saying this boldly, the Queen is finding it increasingly difficult to convince the public."
Shui Xiu sneered at this and said: "When will the queen be able to convince everyone? She used to be kind, but she has become vicious in these years, harming one after another!"
Ling Ruo said with a slightly cold face: "No matter what, she is the queen. How can you say such things about her? If people listen to it, they will think that the Ai family can't even control the mouth of a palace servant."
Seeing that she was angry, Shui Xiu quickly knelt down and said: "You deserve to die, this slave. I just thought about Shui Yue who died tragically, so I couldn't control it for a moment. I will never dare to do it again in the future."
Ling Ruo's heart trembled when she heard the word "Shui Yue". She had been fighting with the Nala clan for so many years, and had narrowly escaped death several times. Shui Yue and the others survived, but ended up dying in Mingyu's hands; and she
In order to take care of the emperor and the overall situation, she suppressed this matter all her life. Although so many years had passed, she still couldn't really let it go. Every time she thought about it, she felt sorry for the spirit of Shui Yue in the sky.
After returning to the main hall, the girls were still waiting there. Hongli asked Sixi and Xiaowu to take them to the East and West Palaces respectively. When Mingyu passed by Hongli, he hesitated to stop and whispered: "Your Majesty...
…”
Hongli took a deep breath, controlled the anger in his heart, and whispered: "If the queen doesn't want to make the matter public now, then don't say anything, I don't want to hear it!"
Mingyu's eyes trembled, and he lowered his head and left. Soon, only Hongli was left in the main hall. He let out a sigh of relief, and sat in the chair with his forehead and eyes closed. After about a while of touching a stick of incense, Agui came in and said
: "Your Majesty, the palace guards have been arranged."
Hongli nodded, opened his eyes and said, "Where is Zhaohui, what is he doing?"
"Zhao Hui is still inspecting various places to see if there are any omissions. Does the emperor have any instructions?" Facing Agui's inquiry, Hongli shook his head and said, "It's okay. I'm just asking casually."
Although Agui was not as thoughtful as Zhaohui, she could tell that Hongli had something on his mind, so he immediately said, "Your Majesty, what's the matter?"
"It's nothing." Hongli said casually, "I suddenly want to drink. Please have a few drinks with me."
Seeing that Hongli didn't want to talk, Agui didn't want to ask any more questions, so he got some wine to drink with Hongli. However, as soon as he took a sip, Hongli had already finished the glass, and he drank several glasses in a row. Agui didn't dare to drink anymore.
He poured wine for him and advised: "Your Majesty, you will get drunk easily if you drink like this. Otherwise, Wei Chen will ask someone to cook some food and then drink together."
Hongli said in a dull voice: "No need, pour the wine!"
Agui helplessly poured wine for him, and when the pot of wine was finished, Hongli still felt it was not enough, so he asked Agui to fetch a few more pots. This time, Agui refused to say anything and said: "Your Majesty, you are here all the way."
"It's already quite hard. If you continue to drink like this, what if you hurt the dragon's body? If you have anything unpleasant, you might as well talk to me." Only he who had been with Hongli through life and death dared to
Such a blunt remonstrance, no one else would have dared to say such things that might offend Long Yan.
Hongli raised his eyes that were not drunk and said coldly: "Didn't you hear me asking you to get some wine? Or am I unable to touch you now?"
"The minister is doing it for the emperor's good, and it is not appropriate for the emperor..." Before Agui could finish his words, a sapphire wine cup fell to the ground with a bang and broke into countless small pieces. Hongli's sharp shout could be heard in his ears.
He said in a voice: "I asked you to go get the wine. Where did all this nonsense come from? If you don't want to, get out and find someone else for me?!"
Agui was about to speak when Zhaohui came in from the outside. Seeing the broken porcelain pieces on the ground, he knelt down calmly and said: "I have seen the emperor. May the emperor be blessed!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Agui said: "You are here at the right time. Please quickly advise the emperor. You have just arrived at the palace and you drank so much wine. What should you do if you get drunk?"
"Your Majesty..." Zhaohui started to speak, but was stopped by Hongli, "I don't want to hear what you have to say now, get some wine!"
When Agui wanted to persuade him again, Zhaohui had already forcefully pulled him out, and then whispered: "Persuading him now will only make things worse. It's better to listen to the emperor and go get some wine."
Agui glared at him and said: "You guy, did the emperor just scold you and scare you into this? It's really useless, that's all, if you don't dare, I will persuade you myself."
Zhaohui pulled him and said angrily: "You are a wild bull, you have grown such a big head in vain, but you don't know how to use your brain at all. The emperor obviously wants to get drunk and relieve his worries, so even if we persuade him to dry up,
It's useless, but it will offend the emperor; however, as a minister, you should be brave enough to remonstrate directly, but now, hitting an egg with a stone is just asking for death!" Seeing Agui's face of disapproval, he sighed and said: "
The Emperor is the Son of Heaven, but he is also a human being, and he also has his own joys and sorrows. When you are angry and someone tells you not to be angry, can you do it?"
Agui held it in for a long time and said: "If the Emperor has anything bothering you, you can tell him. We have lived and died together with the Emperor, and we will definitely help him, so why keep it in your stomach."
"Everyone has his own secret. The emperor doesn't want to tell it, so we can't force him to tell it. Put yourself in your shoes, would you be willing to do it if it were you?"
Agui scratched his head and said, "What's the problem? Just say it." He has always been a straightforward person, and he doesn't say anything when he has something to say. However, when he encounters big problems, he has quite a few tricks.
He is very shrewd, even Zhaohui admits this.
Zhaohui shook his head repeatedly and said: "You are really playing the harp to a cow." After a pause, he added: "Anyway, just do what I say now, go get the wine quickly, and then drink with the emperor. Don't say anything else."
