*************************************

As we approached the gate of the capital city, the weeping willows on the roadside were already covered in green.

Zhou Hui reined in his horse and stopped.

"Master, do you want to rest?" the boy asked immediately.

This is the east of the city, still some distance from the city gate.

Zhou Hao didn't say anything, and looked towards the bustling place on the roadside ahead.

It was obviously a grass market, but it was different from other grass markets in that the items for sale seemed to be pens, inks, paper, and inkstones.

Seeing Zhou Hui and the others walking over, there was a wave of greetings immediately.

"My lord, here are the new rubbings from Maoyuan Mountain."

"Officials, with fine pen and ink, come with a gift of Nie Shi."

Zhou Hui ignored it and went straight past, but failed to get close to the tomb.

A new fence has been built and people are guarding it.

Of course, they are not people from the government, but a few old servants.

"Let let..."

The boy was about to drive away the people blocking the way, but Zhou Hui raised his hand to stop him.

He did not step forward again, but looked past the people sitting or standing in front of the tomb.

"It's been added," he said.

"Yes, yes, the officials saw that the tomb of Cheng Wenyu over there was newly added years ago." The person next to him immediately said enthusiastically when he heard it, "What a strong official script!"

It wasn't before she left the capital. Now that she has become a queen, can she leave the palace at her leisure like this?

Zhou Sheng curled his lips and turned around to leave, which made the others who wanted to introduce him warmly feel very depressed.

Approaching the city gate, there was a bustle on the road, with a group of young people on horseback and servants rushing in. The passers-by showed their joy at the reunion of their relatives from their actions and words.

"...Are you tired?"

"...Growing strong again..."

Several young people beat each other and expressed intimacy in this way.

"Let's go quickly. My father and mother have been thinking about it for half a month and have been urging people to ask questions every day."

Zhou Hao nodded with a smile.

Everyone got on their horses and drove the carriage, causing another bustle on the road and attracting passers-by's attention. Without waiting for passers-by's advice, the young man at the head hurriedly raised his eyebrows and waved his hands.

"Be careful," he said, "don't make any noise, let people watch, and lose face and identity."

The young people responded with restraint, and the servants also bowed their heads and kept silent. The scene suddenly became quiet and they moved forward slowly.

Zhou Hui looked a little surprised.

"Brother, this isn't like you." He smiled.

Old Shaanzhou always wanted to attract the attention of the whole capital when he went out. He wanted to cause some trouble even if he had nothing to do. It didn't matter whether he laughed or scolded him, as long as he was noticed.

The young man at the head turned his head and smiled.

"Today is different from the past," he said. "Father said that our Zhou family no longer needs to rely on publicity to be remembered."

When a queen is born in your family, even if you hide in a remote corner of the mountains, people will remember you.

Walking into the house, it was a joy to see father, son, mother, son, brothers and sisters reunited. The family dinner was still lively here, and someone came to congratulate them outside the door.

"Father, I'm just coming back to visit relatives, so I'd better avoid these human interactions if possible." Zhou Sheng said with a frown.

Master Zhou laughed.

"No one else, no one else." He said, "He is a servant of your uncle's Cheng family."

Uncle? Cheng family?

Zhou Feng was stunned.

This title is so unfamiliar.

While he was talking, the person who was talking had already come in. A young man of seventeen or eighteen years old, wearing fine clothes, walked to the corridor and kowtowed.

"Brother Jin, I have met the Sixth Young Master." He said with a smile.

Brother Jin, Zhou Hui smiled.

"You're back again." He said, "Your eldest master is happy to let you come."

Brother Jin raised his head and smiled.

"The little one is now married and a father. The elder said that he can be used as a human being." He said, "Besides, the little one is not useful. I still have my uncle and grandpa in the capital to take care of me."

This remark made everyone laugh.

"Now that it can be used as a human being, it is no longer the time to get lost and cry in the capital." Zhou Hui said.

Brother Jin laughed and kowtowed.

"I haven't thanked the Sixth Young Master for leading people to look for me," he said.

Thank you? At that time, this kid saw himself as an enemy. Five or six years later, he thought of thanking me.

As expected, he can be used as a human being, and he is very smooth-tongued and boastful.

Zhou Hao shook his head and smiled.

Master Zhou received the gifts and took some of the gifts brought back by Zhou Hui for Brother Jin to take to Master Cheng.

"When did father and the Cheng family get so close?" Zhou Hui whispered to the brother beside him.

Didn't you wish that the other person would die before? Now they are so close that even I, a late-born descendant, have to give each other gifts in return when they return home.

"Father said that it is always good and there is no bad time at all." The brother laughed softly, "The family that gave birth to the Queen is not an ordinary family."

Because of her.

At first it was because her two families were almost incompatible with each other, but now it's because her two families are as close as one family.

"Everything in the world is really unpredictable," Zhou Hui said.

After the banquet was over and the night fell, Zhou Sheng sat in his room after washing and let out a sigh of relief.

"Young Master, Young Master." The young man walked in quickly, knelt down and sat down, "I've asked you clearly."

Zhou Hao hummed and looked at him.

"Master Qin's front leg was injured." The boy continued, "He has been on crutches since then, but it's actually fine. It's just that he seems to like to use crutches."

like?

Zhou Heng frowned, there are still people who like this?

Did he always like him before? If he liked it, why would he ask his sister to cure him? Why not let him be cured and he would still be lame...

The thought flashed across his mind and his body froze.

Still limping, still the same as before...

Zhou Feng slowly clenched the hand that was supporting Ji An.

"... Mr. Qin and his wife have already returned to Sichuan with their whole family. The Thirteenth Young Master said he would go on a study trip on his own," the boy continued.

That's why they met him on the road.

Study tour.

It seems that he has learned well. Although he is still on crutches, he is still different from before.

That kind of freedom and ease is no longer on the surface, but comes from deep inside.

"Sir, please tell me that you can enter the palace tomorrow."

A maid came in from outside and said.

Zhou Hao said, raised his head and smiled.

"Okay." He said, and urged the boy, "Go and pack the things I brought."

The boy responded yes.

"Oh, and Master." He lowered his voice again, "I seem to have heard that the Emperor and the Empress are angry."

angry?

Zhou Sheng raised his eyebrows.

How dare he be angry with her?

The palace lanterns swayed with the night wind, and the sound of footsteps broke the silence of the queen/palace.

"Your Majesty has arrived."

The waiter's drawn-out voice sounded.

Accompanied by this sound, the maids in the palace bowed down and saluted, and the people passed in front of them with the chilly night breeze of early spring.

"His Majesty."

Su Xin led people forward, looked at Fang Bocong who was still wearing court clothes, and asked someone to help him change.

"Go down." Fang Bocong said.

Su Xin stopped, bowed her head, saluted and left without saying a word.

Eunuch Jing stretched out his hand to close the palace door and looked at the servants and maids on night duty spreading out in the corridor.

"How long have the quarrel been going on?" he asked in a low voice.

Su Xin smiled.

"It's been a day." She whispered.

Eunuch Jing said oh.

"It's been a day, that's a long time." He said, narrowing his eyes, "The last time His Highness and the Empress were angry, it was at Qingyuan Station."

Without saying goodbye, he robbed and killed Gao Shilang all by himself in the rain, which made Prince Jin'an very angry who could only wait for the result.

But that time it was better not to have a cup of tea.

"It's different this time." He whispered again, with a bit of complaint, "Actually, it was the Queen who was wrong every time, and our Highness was right. The last time it was the Queen who did not tell the truth, and this time the Queen actually intercepted Li Li secretly.

A letter from the imperial physician to His Majesty."

After saying this, he looked up at Su Xin.

"Do you think this is right? How can you do such a thing?"

Su Xin looked at her hands and smiled.

"Since your Majesty has done it, there is a reason to do it," she said.

Tsk tsk, Eunuch Jing looked at the female official in front of him.

Poor Your Majesty, there is no trace of the emperor's majesty in this queen/palace.

You shouldn't have changed your ancestral rules and lived in this queen/palace.

Where can I have the aura of the emperor’s palace in other people’s territory!

"Here comes someone."

The more Eunuch Jinggong thought about it, the more depressed he became. He turned around and called a chamberlain over.

"Your Highness's late-night snack will be delivered as soon as possible."

"I also want a portion of my wife's." Su Xin hurriedly followed.

This is specially made for His Majesty! Eunuch Jing held the fly whisk and shouted in his heart. In the end, he could only snort softly.

Bullying!

In the dormitory, Cheng Fang looked at Fang Bocong sitting opposite him.

"Mr. Li only knows a little bit about it, and what he has learned is not comprehensive. He said those sensational things. It is useless for you to worry after seeing it. I don't want you to worry," she said.

"Liar!" Fang Bocong watched her spit out two words, "Do you think I will believe it?"

"You don't believe me, but you believe him?" Cheng Fang laughed.

Fang Bocong looked at her with a blank expression.

"Were you bent on death at that time?" he said.

"To do things, you must have the spirit of risking your life and living later." Cheng Fang said with a smile.

"Ah Fang!" Fang Bocong interrupted her with a loud voice.

Cheng Fang looked at him and smiled again, reaching out to pull his sleeve.

Fang Bocong waved his hands to avoid it.

"I'm not afraid of anything as long as you are here." Cheng Fang smiled and reached out again, this time almost grabbing Fang Bocong's sleeve.

"Sweet words are useless." Fang Bocong said, "I am only here to arrange your funeral arrangements."

When he said three words about what happened after his death, his voice couldn't help but become slightly hoarse.

She is really going to die. It is not what she said. She can save her and be safe as long as she is sealed. There is obviously a time limit. After this time, it is useless to make her emperor. This liar

!

Just think that if it were just a few days later, she would really cease to exist and her breathing would stop.

Unusually for his diligent work, he dismissed the courtiers, stopped the court meeting, and walked around the Qinzheng Hall for a whole day.

"If you can arrange things after my death, I will have nothing to worry about." Cheng Fang smiled and pulled his sleeves towards him, "Everyone is destined to die, and it is a great blessing to die safely.

.”

"Another nonsense." Fang Bocong said, pulling back his sleeves forcefully, "Why do you always think about death instead of life? That's why I'm angry with you. Why do you never think about yourself, only about others?"

Having said this, he stood up from his knees and looked at Cheng Fang.

"Ah Fang, can you be kinder to yourself?"

The woman under the soft palace lantern looked at him and nodded, then stretched out her hand and rushed over to hug him.

"With you here, I can be kinder to myself in the future," she said.

"Stop talking so sweetly." Fang Bocong wanted to push her away.

Cheng Fang hugged him tightly and smiled in front of him.

"From now on, I will only be good to myself." She said, "I am the most important, I am the most important person to Fang Bocong. I have died twice. Now I just want to live well and live well with Fang Bocong."

Fang Bocong held her shoulders and tried to push her away, but in the end he couldn't let go.

"You are a liar, you will lie to me." He said.

Cheng Fang raised his head and smiled at him.

"Because you are the only one in the world who is willing to let me lie to you," she said.

The big sparkling eyes make people dizzy.

"Fang Bocong." She called softly again, reaching out to hook his clothes, "Let me change your clothes."

Hearing a low, vague sound of breathing in the inner room, Eunuch Jing, who was listening outside the palace door, stood up straight and sighed.

"Go ahead, go ahead." He waved to the chamberlains who came with midnight snacks and said.

"Will it be delivered later?" asked the leading chamberlain.

Eunuch Jing curled his lips and looked at the food box.

"No need." He said, "Why bother eating this."

Watching the chamberlains filing out, the Queen's palace fell into the quiet of night.

Eunuch Jing walked slowly towards the side hall, counting on his fingers.

"Although I have been angry for a day, it is still useless after meeting." He said to himself, "It is not as good as the last time. This time, even a cup of tea is useless. It is really worse than the last time.

"

…………………………………………..

The dim indoor atmosphere gradually calmed down, and the air exuded a vague sense of desolation.

"Would you like some water?"

A mellow and somewhat hoarse male voice asked.

A female voice hummed lazily.

The curtain was opened, and a slender figure jumped off the couch, poured a glass of water from the clay stove nearby, and hurried over.

He drank half the cup while holding the man in his arms, and drank the rest in one gulp, then threw the cup under the couch.

"Don't sleep." He shook the person in his arms and said, "The matter is not over yet."

Cheng Fang laughed, put his arms around his waist, and pressed his face against his still hot naked chest.

"Then go on," she said.

"Don't touch me." Fang Bocong said, "Go to sleep by yourself."

Cheng Fang chuckled.

"No." She said, hugging him tighter, "I like to sleep holding someone in my arms."

Stop here.

"No one hugged me before, but now someone does."

With these words, Fang Bocong's hand on her shoulder changed from a push to a hug, and he soon came back to his senses.

"We've changed the topic again!" he said, shaking the person in his arms, "Do you think you will do this again in the future? Blocking letters privately, how could you do such a thing if you weren't guilty?"

"Not in the future."

The person in front of him shook his head, and his hair and small nose rubbed against him, and he suddenly became angry.

But the person in his arms rolled over and wrapped himself in a quilt.

"Go to sleep. Today I have delayed the court affairs for a whole day. If the king doesn't go to court early tomorrow, I will be scolded again." Cheng Fang said with a smile.

This liar!

Fang Bocong turned over and pressed him down with the quilt.

"You obviously did it on purpose!" He gritted his teeth and bit the small earlobe in front of him, his voice became muffled, "It sounds like I'm useless, let's see who can't get up tomorrow."

…………………………………………..

The tent gradually became brighter. Fang Bocong put his hands under his neck and looked at the tent, then turned to look at the people beside him.

Cheng Fang fell asleep peacefully, and the brocade quilt slid down, revealing his delicate collarbone.

The weather was still a bit cold today, so Fang Bocong stretched out his hand to pull the quilt over her, and couldn't help but pause when his hand touched her neck.

The memories that had been buried deep in his heart surged out, making his body stiff and trembling slightly.

"Ah Fang." He couldn't help but call out.

Cheng Fang was still asleep.

In fact, there is no need to say it, it’s all over.

Fang Bocong wanted to take back his hand.

However, if some things are not mentioned, can they be treated as if they do not exist? Is it true that no one knows?

God knows and the earth knows and I know, how can it be said that no one knows.

"Ah Fang." He pushed Cheng Fang with his hand and shouted in a loud voice.

Cheng Fang opened his eyes slightly and hummed.

"A Fang." Fang Bocong leaned over and called again, "I have something to tell you..."

Cheng Fang turned over.

"I know, it's me who can't get up." She said lazily.

Fang Bocong couldn't help but smile and reached out to touch her shoulder.

"That's not it." He said, then paused, "Ah Fang, when you were unconscious, could you hear and feel things in the outside world?"

Cheng Fang hummed, turned his head slightly, and opened his eyes a little confused.

"What?" she asked.

"At that time, I gave you water and medicine, took you to see the flowers in the garden, and even took you to do morning exercises." Fang Bocong smiled and got close to her, "Do you know all this?"

Cheng Fang looked at him for a moment, seemingly thinking seriously, and then shook his head on the pillow.

"How could you know if you're unconscious?" she said, smiling at him again, "I'll know now if you tell me."

Fang Bocong smiled and looked at her.

"You lied to me, right?" he said, "You must know."

He sat upright and sighed softly.

"You know how good I am to you, and you also know that I once wanted..."

Those hands placed on the neck, with just that much force, can cut off the fragile and delicate breath, and everything will no longer exist.

Everything that exists today no longer exists.

He once wanted to cut off everything he could own with his own hands.

This is him, ugly and terrifying but unavoidable.

A hand reached out to take his.

"Fang Bocong, I don't like it very much and I don't care what others think." Cheng Fang said, "I just look at what others do."

Fang Bocong looked at her. The woman on the pillow was lying on her back, with black hair spread under her body, with a shallow and indifferent smile.

"Isn't that the same for you?" she said. "Have you ever thought about who I would save if you and my fourth brother were killed together?"

Fang Bocong looked at her and held her hand tightly.

Who deceived whom, who betrayed whom, but he still couldn't let her go, and she didn't care about him.

They are still together, and as long as they are together, they feel at ease and happy.

It doesn't matter if you get hurt, it doesn't matter if you hesitate, it doesn't matter anything.

The world is already so difficult and ruthless, and this reluctance is enough.

Hearing the footsteps leaving outside the tent, the palace returned to silence. Cheng Fang turned over and faced inward with a sigh.

She had already met someone who thought about it and then did it, and now she met someone who thought about it but didn't do it. This must be the compensation and gift given to her by God.

She closed her eyes and smiled, nuzzled herself into the brocade quilt and fell asleep peacefully.

I love sleeping more and more recently, probably because I have never slept so peacefully.

…………………………………………..

The Queen Mother took the medicine bowl from Fang Bocong's hand and motioned to the palace maid to bring tea.

"Your Majesty is lucky," she said.

The Supreme Emperor on the couch also looked at Fang Bocong.

"You make the decision yourself," he said slowly.

Fang Bocong shook his head.

"Then how to do it, I still need more guidance from my father." He said.

A smile appeared on the Emperor's face with difficulty.

"Okay." He said.

Although he woke up and could speak, the Emperor's spirit was still getting worse day by day. After taking medicine, he fell into a deep sleep.

The Queen Mother and Fang Bocong withdrew.

"Your Majesty," the Queen Mother said, "the doctors are saying that preparations must be made."

Fang Bocong looked a little sad.

"Your Majesty, it's already very good." The Queen Mother said with a smile.

Fang Bocong nodded.

"There is one more thing that needs to be prepared." The Queen Mother thought of something and said, "Now that the palace is safe, the court is also safe, and spring is here again, and the harem can be filled with new people."

Fang Bocong seemed a little surprised when he looked at the Queen Mother.

"Waiting for the Emperor in case..." The Queen Mother looked inward and said implicitly, "It takes three years to observe filial piety, and the concubine matter is no longer suitable. Your Majesty, you are not young anymore. There should be more people in the palace, and there should be more people in the palace.

Got some more kids."

Fang Bocong smiled and shook his head.

"Your Majesty, I don't want to add anyone to the harem," he said.

The Queen Mother was stunned.

"Your Majesty, how can this be done?" She frowned, thinking of the rumors in the palace, "I'll leave it to the Queen. Your Majesty, don't worry about these harem matters."

Fang Bocong smiled.

"No, the affairs of the harem are also family affairs." He said, "And, Madam, I am sitting in this world now, not for me, but for Prince Xuanwen."

The Queen Mother was stunned again.

It is true that Fang Bocong did not seek this throne wholeheartedly. Others did not believe it, but she believed it. But what does this have to do with the concubines?

"I'm here to guard the world for Prince Xuanwen, not to have fun." Fang Bocong said, "It's enough for us as husband and wife. We are safe and sound. I don't want to add any more outsiders to Prince Xuanwen's family."

That's it...

The Queen Mother didn't know what to say, and an urgent report from the chamberlain came outside the door.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, your Majesty, your Majesty is not well."

Fang Bocong and the Queen Mother were both stunned by these words.

"Your Majesty sent someone to invite the imperial doctor," the chamberlain said. "She hired her secretly. She even vomited when she got up in the morning. She didn't want to tell anyone."

This woman!

I knew she would coax him!

Fang Bocong walked away quickly.

"Go and see what's going on." The Queen Mother hurriedly urged people to follow, "What happened last time was enough to scare people to death, but don't do it again."

The Queen Mother/Palace Chamberlain hurriedly responded.

The Queen Mother was so anxious that she could not sit still in the palace, but fortunately the chamberlain came back not long after.

"Congratulations to the empress, congratulations to the empress." The chamberlain saluted with a smile on his face.

happiness?

The Queen Mother was stunned.

"Oh, I understand." Concubine An shouted at the side and clapped her hands, "The Queen is pregnant!"

I vomited again and asked the doctor again...

The Queen Mother felt her heart pounding and looked at the chambermaid.

"But so?" she asked.

The chamberlain smiled and saluted.

"Yes, the imperial doctor just diagnosed it as a happy pulse." He said.

The Queen Mother was so heartbroken that she also sat down.

"Thank God! Buddha bless you!" She folded her hands and chanted.

"Your Majesty, I read it wrong. I should thank Daozu for blessing me," Taifei An reminded.

The Queen Mother glared at her.

"Why are you still sitting here?" she said, "Why don't you go and say congratulations."

Concubine An stood up with a smile.

"Bring more money." The Queen Mother said calmly, "You have made enough money in charge of the affairs of the Queen/Palace, so be generous with your actions."

Concubine An immediately turned around with a sad face.

"Your Majesty, I am unjust. I have no one. I am poor."

………………………………………………………………..

There were not many people in the queen's palace. The concubines dispersed after congratulating themselves, and they were the only two people left in the queen's palace.

Fang Bocong seemed a little at a loss, neither sitting nor standing.

"Is the child okay?" he asked again.

I was crazy last night, this, this, now I feel so regretful.

"You've asked me a dozen times," Cheng Fang said, "Is there anything I don't know about?"

Fang Bocong snorted.

"I don't believe you." He said, and hurriedly asked the imperial doctor to come, "Ask me what to do."

"Your Majesty is too careful." Su Xin covered her mouth and laughed.

Fang Bocong ignored it and went straight out to ask the imperial doctor.

Cheng Fang was sitting in the room with a dazed look on his face, his hands couldn't help but put on his abdomen.

Surprisingly... I'm pregnant...

In the night, Fang Bocong woke up again. This time, he felt that there was really no one around him. It was not because he was having a nightmare. He sat up quickly and saw Cheng Fang standing in front of the window.

"What's wrong? What's wrong with you?" he asked repeatedly, staggering down.

Cheng Fang turned back to look at him and smiled.

"No," she said.

Under the spring moonlight, the woman's smile was a little vain.

"Liar again." Fang Bocong said, holding her hand and frowning, "What's wrong? I've been restless all day."

Cheng Fang was silent for a moment.

"Actually, I lied," she said.

Fang Bocong was startled.

"I can't do anything in this world except write poetry." Cheng Fang said, raising his head and looking at him, "I have never learned how to raise children."

Fang Bocong looked at her and couldn't help but laugh, but he smiled a little sadly.

I have learned these things about how to survive, but in the end it is because life is not easy, and I don’t even have the luxury of living, let alone having children.

He reached out and took her into his arms.

"Ah Fang, don't worry." He said, "I can."

Cheng Fang looked up at him.

"You know how?" she asked.

Fang Bocong smiled.

"I like children very much. I watched King Huaihui, Prince Xuanwen and the princesses being born and raised. I even took care of them myself. However, they were other people's children and they didn't like to be taken care of by me, so I just

I can only watch from a distance." He said, "So don't worry, now that we have a child, I will teach him and I will teach you."

Cheng Fang looked at him, frowned, smiled slightly, and hugged him.

"Okay." she said.
