After dispatching Tang Yang, Yu Wenhao began to deploy and did not return home until almost early in the morning that night. Yuan Qing fell asleep early.
After taking a bath, he tiptoed to sleep. Looking at Yuan Qingling's calm sleeping face, he resisted the urge to kiss her and lay next to her.
He couldn't sleep.
He felt very gloomy in his heart. His father's behavior made him very sad.
He doesn't care about the position of the prince, he only cares about his attitude.
Not only did he almost lose his life in that assassination, but he was also framed as someone who hired the assassin to injure himself.
Now that Duke Xiaoyao has found the evidence, his father turns a blind eye and ignores it.
In these years, he only had the court and his father in his heart. He did not compete for credit or favor. He only wanted to do some practical things for the court and share his father's worries. But the current results were a bit difficult for him to accept.
In addition to being depressed, I also felt sad and angry.
King Xunji’s mistake this time was actually to put it bluntly, he couldn’t bear the injustice.
Looking sideways at Yuan Qing's sleeping face, he sighed secretly. Maybe his father had his own intentions in doing this, but if he didn't fight for it, mother and son would be wronged in the future. s11();
In my heart, I secretly became determined.
Early the next morning, before Yuan Qingling got up, he went out again.
Yuan Qingling was going to the palace today, so not long after Yu Wenhao left the house, Aunt Xi came to wake her up.
Yuan Qingling touched the already cold quilt beside her, "Didn't the prince come back last night?"
Aunt Xi helped her get up and took care of the clothes, "I came back very late and went out early in the morning."
"It's so early." Yuan Qingling actually wanted to wait for him last night, but she kept feeling sleepy. She thought about squinting first, but she fell asleep instead.
passed.
"Yes, the prince seems to be very busy these two days." Aunt Xi arranged her clothes, and Lu Ya came in with hot water.
After rinsing her mouth and combing her hair, Yuan Qingling had some breakfast. Ah Si had already ordered someone to prepare the carriage, and she was ready to set off at any time.
Yuan Qingling was also in a bad mood and felt aggrieved for Lao Wu.
She actually didn't expect that the emperor would do this. He was also his son, so he was too partial.
What she couldn't understand even more was that Prince Ji had revealed his wild ambitions. The emperor was always shrewd, so why didn't he see it?
After Yuan Qingling entered the palace, she first went to greet the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother inevitably asked some questions. Yuan Qingling reported that she was safe, so the Queen Mother felt relieved.
After coming out of the Queen Mother's Palace, Yuan Qingling went directly to the Qiankun Palace.
From a distance, I could smell the smell of smoke coming from the yard.
This kind of large-leaf tobacco has a very strong smell. When she entered the palace gate, she saw three people sitting on the stone steps in front of the corridor, each with a big pipe, smoking loudly, and the smoke was lingering.
What surprised Yuan Qingling was these three people. The Supreme Emperor was sitting in the middle, with Xiaoyao Gong and Chu Shoufu beside him. The sitting postures of these three people were... very inelegant, with one leg raised and shaking, just like a rough guy in the market.
Yes, and besides the smell of cigarettes, there is also a strong smell of alcohol. It’s just so early in the morning, and you’re already drinking?
What's going on? Are you the young and Dangerous guy from Qiankun Palace?
Eunuch Chang saw her coming and hurriedly came to greet her, "Princess, you are here. You are smoking tobacco here. Please go into the palace and have a rest."
Yuan Qing murmured, but still stepped forward to meet Li first, "See the Supreme Emperor!"
Then he faced Chu Shoufu and Xiaoyao Gong Fu Shen.
The Supreme Emperor quickly put down his pipe and said,
Chu Shoufu and Xiaoyao Gong also said: "Don't smoke, don't smoke, don't smoke Gu's great-grandson."
The two gentlemen put down their cigarette pouches and asked Eunuch Chang to take them.
Walk.
The Supreme Emperor said to Yuan Qing: "Sit down!"
Yuan Qingling took a look and saw that there were no chairs or stools. Where to sit?
However, Eunuch Chang immediately ordered someone to bring a chair and place it in the yard. However, if Yuan Qingling sat down, she would be higher than the Supreme Emperor. She was also a little embarrassed and didn't know whether she should sit down.
I was wondering in my heart, how could the three of them get together?
Chu Shoufu stood up and left. His steps were a bit frivolous. When he came over, he glanced at Aunt Xi, then stumbled and "accidentally" bumped into Aunt Xi. He said sorry and walked away.
Yuan Qingling could hardly believe her eyes.
She rubbed her eyes for fear that she was wrong. Was it really Chu Shoufu who made the second move just now? Are they similar? Are they twin brothers?
The Supreme Emperor felt a little guilty and said, "I took half a bite."
The impression of Chu Shoufu is solemn, severe, unsmiling, and even a little vicious.
OK."s11();
"It's rare for the three of us to get together. Old Chu hasn't come to drink with me for a long time. It's understandable that he would have a few more drinks when he was in a high mood." The Supreme Emperor staggered in.
"Do you know how high your blood pressure is? You have an irregular heartbeat, do you know that?" Yuan Qingling raised her voice.
"Your face doesn't look like you've had half a sip, but rather like you've drank half a pound." Yuan Qingling exposed him.
Xiaoyao Gong stood up and said he was going to relieve himself, but he walked calmly and didn't look drunk at all.
He wrinkled even more and said helplessly: "Old man, you know that you cannot drink alcohol because of your illness, right?"
Just then, Xiaoyao Gong returned to the door. After listening to Yuan Qingling's words, he walked in and asked, "What's the high blood pressure? What's the irregular heartbeat? What did you say, Princess?"
Yuan Qing Ling was angry and turned around to face Duke Chang: "Eunuch, it is strictly forbidden to store wine in Qiankun Hall from now on. Not even a drop of it will be allowed."
Chu Shoufu was suspected of forming a clique to dominate the government for personal gain, and now he came to drink with the Supreme Emperor like a normal person. In terms of the affection back then, was it false?
Yuan Qing frowned
He stood up and swayed for a while. Eunuch Chang quickly supported him and said, "Oh, you really drank too much."
Yuan Qing Ling calmed down, walked over and frowned and said to the Emperor: "Drink? How much did you drink?"
I drank too much, and my heart rate was abnormal. There was a blood pressure monitor in the medicine box, and when I measured it, it turned out to be much higher.
Yuan Qingling felt that her heart was a little bit shocked. The head of the Chu family, whom she had been wary of for so long, would actually behave in such a childish way.
Xiaoyao Gong burst into laughter, "Half a catty? You are too mean."
Yuan Qingling took out the medicine box and entered the palace to check the body of the Supreme Emperor.
There was also Duke Xiaoyao. She originally thought that Duke Xiaoyao had left the government alone, but he pursued the assassination of Yu Wenhao.
The Supreme Emperor said slowly and authentically: "The imperial doctor said that drinking a sip every day can promote blood circulation and qi. I haven't drank for a long time, so I will take a small sip every day and drink it today."
She looked towards Aunt Xi, who lowered her eyes and had no expression on her face, but her cheeks were rosy, giving her an old-fashioned charm.
It's really hard to see through these old people in the court, each of them is more of an old fox than the last.
So, are we comrades who have carried guns together?
Yuan Qingling was a little angry, but she first asked Aunt Xi beside her, "Were the three of them very good friends in the past?"
"Well, before the Supreme Emperor ascended the throne, they were good friends. Just like the prince and Lord Gu Sijingyan, after the Supreme Emperor ascended the throne, he had an imperial commander personally conquer Xianbei, and the two of them accompanied him." Aunt Xi explained.
The Supreme Emperor waved his hand, "You just make a fuss. What's wrong with having a drink once in a while?"
