Rong Changan, Rong Changan, do you really think of me as a three-year-old child? I believe what you say, I might as well die. thought the Queen Mother.
"Yan Li has this kind of filial piety? Hmph, he wants me to die! Will he propose to bring Xu Feng to me?"
Rong Chang'an said: "How could Prime Minister Yan want the queen mother to die? Who said that, she should be beheaded."
The queen mother rolled her eyes at Yan Li: "He opposes everything that has anything to do with me, and he will kill anyone who has anything to do with me. What is he targeting me?"
Rong Changan turned to Yan Li and asked, "Is what the queen mother said true?"
If Yan Li had been asked to investigate the affairs of the Taimiao, the Queen Mother would have been arrested and put under house arrest in the clan's mansion, how could she continue to be arrogant and domineering here. However, thinking about Rong Chang'an's words carefully, he felt that there was some truth in it: not being a friend, but not necessarily being an enemy.
"Yan Li is as loyal to the queen mother as he is to the emperor, and has no intention of targeting the queen mother."
The queen mother sneered and said, "I ask you, the last time you went to rescue the disaster, why did you kill him when you knew that the prefect was mine?"
Such corrupt officials, one will kill one, and one hundred will kill a hundred! Yan Li will kill anyone who is an enemy of the common people.
However, Yan Li also learned the circle from Rong Changan. If a stone is not round, it will not roll far if it is too square.
"Queen Mother, that prefect is actually ruining your reputation. If I don't kill him, everyone in the world will scold the Queen Mother for condoning corrupt officials."
Obviously knowing that this is an insincere sentence, but it sounds impeccable.
The queen mother swallowed: "It seems that you are really thinking about me! Then let me ask you, why did you grab the position of prime minister? This position was originally Zhao Hongru..."
"Queen!" Rong Chang'an suddenly reminded him sternly from the side, "Zhao Hongru is now an enemy of the imperial court, the emperor, and the people. The queen mother should not have any relationship with him, and it is best not to mention his name as an excuse. Good. Committing chaos and punishing the nine clans!"
As soon as Rong Changan reminded her, the queen mother almost retracted her head into her neck.
The empress dowager made peace with Li Hai and put all the blame on Zhao Hongru and Bai Xiangwan. Now the whole country knows that they are conspiratorial and rebellious ministers. If the empress dowager still associates herself with Zhao Hongru, it is equivalent to saying that I am a rebellious party.
The Queen Mother was silent.
Rong Changan tapped the side drum and said: "Queen Mother, the past should be all misunderstandings. I think Prime Minister Yan is an upright person, and he will not have any personal grudges against the Queen Mother."
The queen mother thought about it, and felt that she was under house arrest by Li Hai. If she still made enemies with others, she would die of old age in Fengzao Palace.
"Since it's a misunderstanding, forget it. Let's go, Xu Feng, I'll stay, and Rong Chang'an, I also accept your kindness." The Queen Mother closed her eyes, propped her temples with one hand, and fell asleep.
"In this case, Chang'an and the prime minister will step down first!" Rong Chang'an told Xu Feng, "Xu Feng, you wait for the queen mother for a few days first. If the queen mother likes you and keeps you, you can take care of her body diligently. If The queen mother doesn't like your medical skills, so don't come back to me, just go back to your hometown!"
After finishing speaking, Rong Changan saluted the Empress Dowager before leaving Fengzao Palace.
Yan Li rode on the white horse, and left without saying hello to Rong Changan.
"Prime Minister Yan, are you leaving now?" Rong Changan stood in front of the palace gate, her slim body was reflected on the pink wall, giving her a special sense of beauty.
"I have already said that I will see you for the last time today, and I will never see you again."
The clatter of hooves echoed between the whitewashed walls.
The corners of Rong Changan's mouth twitched, and she felt a chill in her heart.
"You and the Imperial Forest Army Lin Hai have meritorious escorts, and the emperor wants to entertain you at Honglu Temple. Could it be that you don't even give the emperor face?"
"The emperor has my own words to answer, so you don't need to worry about me." Yan Li didn't stop the horse, but continued to walk towards the back door of the palace, the white figure gradually disappeared in the drizzle.
"If you want to hide from me, Chang'an, unless you are not in Dajing Kingdom!"
…
Honglu Temple in the imperial palace, Li Hai and Rong Changan are sitting on the golden throne on the jade steps, under the yellow curtain, a group of dancers are dancing the soft dance "Green Waist". There are two rows of long tables next to it, and all the ministers of the Great Jing Kingdom are sitting. Without Zhao Hongru, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, and Bai Xiangwan, Minister of War, the ministers felt that the atmosphere was strange.
And Rong Changan, who was without Yan Li, couldn't help feeling that the atmosphere of the celebration banquet this time was completely different from usual! Even if there is a luminous glass of grape wine in front of him, it can't really make Rong Changan happy.
It seems that Li Hai didn't feel bad because of Yan Li's absence, his eyes were on those dancing waists, he was pinching his chin while smiling, it was so disgusting.
Rong Chang'an raised his wine glass and said loudly: "Ministers, let us raise our wine glasses and toast our hero Lin Hai, commander of the Imperial Forest Army!"
Li Hai had no choice but to raise his wine glass and drank with everyone.
Rong Changan touched his lips with a handkerchief, as if he had just realized it all of a sudden: "Your Majesty, is there a protagonist missing today?"
Li Hai didn't even look at Rong Changan, his attention was all on the dancing girl.
"Who is missing?"
Rong Chang'an said: "In addition to Lin Hai, Prime Minister Yan is the one who has meritorious escort?"
Li Hai wrote lightly: "The prime minister said he was not feeling well, so he didn't come today."
Feeling unwell is fake, not wanting to see Rong Changan is real!
Rong Chang'an said: "Today is the banquet held by the emperor, it is unusual, the prime minister will come no matter what."
"It's fine if he doesn't come, I won't be so stingy, and care about these things with the prime minister."
Rong Chang'an said: "I always feel that the prime minister does not respect the emperor. As a courtier, the emperor will entertain you even if he is sick and dying. Does the prime minister think that he has contributed to disaster relief and protection, but now he is inflated and defiant?" , even the emperor doesn’t care about it?”
Li Hai's eyes suddenly narrowed, and he looked at Rong Chang'an sharply.
What happened to Rong Changan? Didn't she have feelings for Yan Li, why did she speak ill of him now
"Queen, Prime Minister Yan is not such a person, is he?"
Rong Chang'an said with a smile: "If the emperor doesn't believe it, you can send a flying envoy to the Prime Minister's Mansion now, saying that the emperor wants him to come to the banquet, but you can see that he will not come."
"This..." Li Hai felt that since Yan Li said he was sick, it was a bit unfair for him to send someone to force Yan Li to come.
"Your Majesty, it's just a matter of giving Prime Minister Yan a try."
Li Hai said: "Since the empress insists on asking the prime minister to come to the banquet, I will send someone to have a look."
Call an eunuch and ask him to ride a horse to call Yan Li.
Rong Changan's eyes flickered with pride: "It's harder than going to the sky if you can't miss me!"
