Geng Di was trembling, his ears twitched, but he still had a smile on his face: "Queen, I don't mean that. God has the virtue of being good at life, and ants can't hurt at will, let alone people? And he is a person who has made contributions to the country. minister."
Zhang An also knocked on the side drum and said: "Master Geng said that if Mr. Guo is released, the ministers will definitely praise the queen as a good queen, the number one queen of all time!"
What Rong Chang'an hated the most was hearing such compliments against his will, Liu Mei couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
Geng Di laughed again and said, "If the empress thinks she can't be the master, we will go to see the emperor and let the emperor decide. What do you think?"
Rong Changan sneered. She naturally understood that Geng Di wanted to use Yan Li to put pressure on her, but she refused to let him see Yan Li.
"You look down on me, Rong Changan, don't you?" Rong Changan deliberately put on a stern and angry expression.
When Geng Di saw it, his heart skipped a beat, and his forehead became shiny, as if sugar had been sprinkled on it.
"Weichen really didn't mean that!"
Rong Chang'an waved his right hand domineeringly: "The emperor is suffering from injuries. The imperial doctor said that he should not see people easily. When the emperor recovers from his injuries, I will notify you to come and see him."
This is tantamount to nonsense! If Yan Li had recovered from his injuries before letting them meet, Guo Zhen would have been killed dozens of times.
"When the emperor recovers, Mr. Guo will..." Zhang An gritted his teeth and said.
Geng Di said: "We'll just watch the emperor for a while, it won't affect his self-cultivation."
Rong Chang'an suddenly said sharply: "I have already told you that the emperor is currently recovering from his injuries, and it is easy to hide from others. Now I am in charge of all affairs of the country. You are doing everything possible to want to see the emperor. Don't you want the emperor to recover faster? What are you guys doing?" Intentions?"
Rong Changan's words seemed to prick Zhang An and Geng Di like needles, and they felt uncomfortable.
Zhang An was also angry, and snorted: "Empress, even if the emperor asks you to act as an agent of the government, you can't kill the court ministers without authorization! Those who are officials in the capital, according to the laws of our country, all criminal officials must go through six inferences. , The investigation is clear. After the crime is confirmed, it will not be executed until after the autumn. Mr. Guo has only one day to be beheaded from innocent to death row. You are so careless about human life and violated the laws of the ancestors. Aren’t you afraid that the court ministers will not obey you? Are the people's hearts not suppressed?"
Rong Changan looked at Zhang An, not at all overwhelmed by his momentum.
"Master Zhang, the current festival has passed the autumnal equinox, that is, the queen of autumn. In terms of time, there is no problem in killing Guo Zhen. Taking ten thousand steps back, even if it is not the queen of autumn, I will kill Guo Zhen!"
"You..." Zhang An's forehead and neck were covered with blue veins, and his thin wedge-like face flushed red.
Geng Di pulled Zhang An's hand, and looked at Rong Chang'an with curled lips: "We just want to see the emperor, so what about you? You tried every means to prevent us from seeing the emperor, what is your intention? Mr. Zhang and I have reasons to suspect that you hijacked us. Your majesty, seek to seize imperial power."
Rong Chang'an said to the guards guarding Yong'an Palace: "Without my order from Rong Chang'an, no one can enter Yong'an Palace! Anyone who dares to trespass will be killed without mercy!"
Zhang An and Geng Di were terrified by Rong Changan's awe-inspiring arrogance and cold eyes, and they were close together, like rats driven to a corner, trembling, their teeth chattering.
Rong Changan was already standing on the stone steps, looking back halfway, and squinting at the two of them coldly: "If you are not afraid of death, you can try."
After finishing speaking, Rong Changan took Chuntao into Yong'an Palace. Zhang An and the two could only look at the ocean and sigh.
"What should we do now?" Zhang An asked Geng Di.
Geng Di lowered his eyes and thought for a while: "For the present plan, I have no choice but to go see Concubine Ziyan. Let's see what she can do to save Guo Zhen."
Zhang An looked up at the somewhat gloomy sky, the sun looming behind the clouds.
"It's not long before 3:00 p.m. I hope Concubine Ziyan can rescue Guo Zhen in time."
The two left Yong'an Palace in embarrassment and went straight to Fengwu Palace.
Rong Changan entered the Yong'an Palace, met Yan Li in the bedroom, and Chuntao put the gold-encrusted iron cage on the case before the collapse.
Yan Li lay on the bed, pointed at the bird and asked, "What is this, colorful?"
Rong Chang'an said: "This is a parrot from Southwest Tribute, it is very good at learning how to talk. If the emperor has it to accompany him every day, he will not be lonely, and the injury must heal faster."
Yan Li's face was haggard. Originally, he only had a beard that looked like smoke and willows, but after lying on the bed for the past few days, his beard became much thicker. The black beard set off his pale and thin face, making him look even more pale and haggard. The straightforwardness of attacking Zhang An just now is gone now, and the mood is heavy again.
"Chuntao, go fetch a basin of water."
Chuntao understood, agreed and went to fetch water.
When Yan Li saw the parrot, he really had a smile on his face, but when he smiled, there were many wrinkles on his face, as if his face was just covered with a piece of skin.
"I taught it Chang'an, will it also tell me about Chang'an?"
In the two days since he was injured, Yan Li didn't care much about state affairs, he cared more about Rong Chang'an.
Rong Chang'an is aggressive and strong, and she offended many high officials in the imperial court. They must not understand Rong Chang'an and create obstacles for her to govern. I was worried about her, so I wanted to see her, but how could she stay by my side all the time? So when he misses him so much, he can't help but blurt out, softly calling Rong Chang'an's name.
Rong Changan's heart was warm, but his nose felt sour.
"Whatever you teach it, it will learn from you."
Yan Li reached out and patted the bird cage, and called softly: "Changan! Changan!" When he called, his eyes were full of affection, as if he was looking at Rong Changan himself.
The parrot was very well-behaved. It jumped twice in the cage, poked its head, opened its mouth and said, "Chang'an! Chang'an!" When it called, it was full of emotion, as if it was the cry of Yan Li's soul.
Yan Li was even happier: "How cute! Now that the weather is getting colder, I have to make a brocade cover for it, and a birdcage to cover it." So he ordered the eunuch, "Go to the Weaving Bureau now and order them to make a brocade cover." set."
It was rare to see Yan Li happy, and the eunuch felt at ease, so he said with a smile, "I will go to the weaving bureau now."
After the eunuch left, Rong Changan also patted the bird cage: "Yan Li, Yan Li!"
The parrot also imitated the voice and called: "Yan Li, Yan Li!"
Both Rong Changan and Yan Li laughed.
"Cough cough..." Yan Li was still weak, coughing twice after laughing.
Rong Changan quickly sat down on the Yutan, and patted his chest lightly through the quilt.
"Laughing too much, isn't it?"
Yan Li looked at Rong Chang'an and said, "Even if you die laughing, it's worth it."
A slender finger rested on Yan Li's thin and slightly dry lips: "Your Majesty, I won't allow you to mention death again."
Yan Li said: "How can a person not die! Do you think I can really live forever?" Seeing that the bags under Rong Changan's eyes were a little dark, he reached out to wipe them, and said distressedly, "I have worked hard for you these days, and I have made you worry about state affairs! You are alone If you can't handle it, you can ask people from the three provinces and six departments to help."
Rong Changan smiled slightly to comfort Yan Li: "I can take care of this alone."
In fact, Rong Changan also felt a lot of pressure, almost no time to rest every day. She also wanted to hand over government affairs to the ministers of the three provinces and six ministries, but she couldn't trust them. Because there are still many people with different hearts.
"I heard a noise outside just now, what's going on?"
Rong Changan rolled his eyes and replied: "It's just a few court ladies and eunuchs quarreling over a trivial matter, so don't worry about it."
