Yan Li stretched out his hand to pat her fragrant shoulders, to touch her white hair, to comfort her not to cry, but just as he stretched out his hand, a voice said in his heart: The person in front of me is the person who caused your child to miscarry , how can you touch such a woman with a heart like a snake!
Yan Li withdrew his hand and flicked the sleeves of the dragon robe, his gaze became cold and hard again, like the sunlight shining through the gaps in the clouds in a snowy day.
"I'll count to three, if you still cry, I'll put you in limbo!"
Yan Li's words were decisive without any emotion, and Zi Yan's heart skipped a beat: he didn't just say this for fun.
So Zi Yan stopped crying immediately, it was as easy as blowing out a lamp. Still, she pretended to be sobbing.
"I will find out who concealed the military intelligence."
Before the words were finished, Yan Li's shadow had already flashed out, and a bone-piercing cold wind blew in instead.
Only when she heard Liu'er say: "The emperor go slowly!" Zi Yan sat down on the bed, wiped her tear-stained pink face, tilted her thin and cool lips, and snorted softly.
"Fortunately, I can act, otherwise I would be seen through by Yan Li! However, judging from today's events, Yan Li has already become suspicious of me, so I have to be more careful in my actions in the future, and I must not be caught by him, otherwise, I will Even if I have ten lives, it won't work. I only hope that Pan Meichen will bring down the capital as soon as possible, and I won't live in this kind of fearful life anymore."
"Liu'er!" She shouted loudly outside.
Liu'er walked in and asked, "Grand Concubine, do you still need to prepare food and wine?"
Zi Yan's eyes were like two needles piercing Liu'er: "You are blind! The emperor is gone, why should I eat wine alone? You accompany me? It's boring. Go, pour me a cup of hot tea to soothe the nerves." , I want to regain my soul."
Why do you want to return to your soul? Why did the soul fly away? Just now the emperor really should scold her for a while, so that her soul will never come back.
Liu'er held back her laughter, left the room, and went to make tea for Ziyan.
Yan Li stepped on the snow and walked under the red wall. The eunuch supported the snowflakes covered by the dragon umbrella, and the guards on both sides escorted him. Suddenly, Yan Li stood still, looking with emotion at the three words on the door on the right: Fengming Palace.
The eunuch pondered Yan Li's meaning: "Your Majesty, since we passed by, do you want to go in and have a look at Empress Rong?"
Yan Li's eyes fell from the words "Fengming Palace" to the white snow on the ground, and he seemed to be listening to the voice of Chang'an in the palace.
"What do you think the queen is doing?"
The eunuch really didn't know how to answer Yan Li's sudden question.
"It's hard to say... a slave. The emperor and the empress are husband and wife, and they are familiar with each other. They should know what the empress is doing."
Yan Li sighed, folded his hands behind his back, and looked at the red sky, his eyes were empty.
"She must be complaining about me, hating that I haven't come to see her for a long time, and that I haven't issued an order to release her for a long time. She either embroiders, or sings poems in the back garden, and her complaints are beyond poetry. Ahem..."
Under the sadness, Yan Li felt depressed and had difficulty breathing.
The eunuch stretched out his hand to support Yan Li: "Your majesty, since you love the queen so much, why didn't you let her out? Let the ministers say what they like to say, there is no need to pay attention to it, I don't believe they can go to heaven. "
If only the emperor could do as he pleases.
The emperor is the most powerful man in the country, but to use these powers, the emperor has to go through certain procedures. The minister is one of the power procedures. Without the participation of ministers, there are many things he can't do.
"Wait a little longer!" Yan Li turned his gaze to the north, "Now, there should be a fight over there. In a few days, maybe Queen Rong will be able to come out."
The eunuch followed Yan Li and looked to the north, the sky there seemed to be darker than the palace.
"General Song Qiang is very capable, and he will definitely be able to stop Pan Meichen from continuing to go south. The emperor will wait for General Song's success report in the Shang's study!"
Yan Li looked at Fengming Palace again with an expression full of expression, and this glance pierced Qiushui.
"Eunuch, let's go!"
A group of people left on the thick white snow.
Rong Changan was not embroidering or reciting poems, but chopping wood and lighting a fire.
She suddenly stopped the ax in her hand, looked at the gate, "Chuntao, listen, is there someone talking outside the gate?"
Chun Tao boiled water, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and accidentally wiped the charcoal black on her hand to the tip of her nose, making a circle black.
"Is anyone talking outside? Why didn't I hear it?"
Rong Changan didn't seem to hear it with his ears, but with his heart: "I heard it, it's right outside the door."
Chuntao also believed it, and looked at the gate with her head: "Is there really someone? I'll go and see who it is." She stood up and was about to go out.
Rong Changan stopped Chuntao again: "Don't go! Maybe I heard wrong, there is no one at the door. Let's continue chopping firewood and boiling water."
Maybe it was just someone passing by, maybe it could be him. If it was him, he would come in if he wanted to. If he didn't have the heart, it would be meaningless to go out and keep him.
He also said that someone was talking, but also said no, I really don't know if Rong Changan is in a trance, or is he hearing hallucinations
Chuntao wondered, but went out anyway, looked around the gate, saw many footprints, but didn't see anyone.
"The queen is not feeling well these days, and she doesn't eat well. She is not like me. She is used to living a hard life since she was a child. She can get by with steamed buns and pickles. She is a golden branch and jade leaf. She must be used to living this kind of life all at once. No, my brain is not working well now. No, I will tell the emperor about the queen's situation no matter what!"
After making up his mind, he was about to go back, when two maids walked through the wind and snow, each holding a basket in their hands.
"Chuntao, I'm hungry, I can't take it anymore, so I came outside the door and looked at us eagerly, didn't I?" The two maids laughed and teased Chuntao.
Chuntao didn't like to listen to what they said, so she pouted and rolled her eyes: "Who is staring at you? I follow the queen, what haven't I eaten before? Scarlet lips and bear's paw, ginseng and abalone, as well as delicacies and delicacies from foreign countries. You haven’t even heard of it, and I’ve tasted it too. Hmph, I’ll wait for you when I say that! I’ll throw away those steamed buns and pickles without blinking an eye!”
After hearing Chuntao's words, the two maids were not angry, but rather cheerful: "We are just joking, why is sister Chuntao so angry! If you don't like to hear it, let's not mention this matter in the future, okay?"
Chuntao also knew that she had overreacted: "Let me tell you the truth, I, Chuntao, will be fine if I eat this steamed bun and pickles for the rest of my life, but the queen, who is usually well-clothed and well-fed, now follows me to eat these things, and I feel sorry for her. So when you said that just now, I felt a little angry in my heart. You are all my good sisters, so don't take it to heart!"
The two maids thought for a while, and felt that Rong Changan was not like Zi Yan, who was arrogant and domineering, and was a good talker. Now that she has been deposed as a commoner, they also pity her in their hearts.
"Chuntao, we love the Queen too! Why don't we secretly carry Concubine Ziyan on our backs, and bring some delicious food to the Queen, so that the Queen can make up for it, so that the Queen can take care of her health, what do you think?"
Chuntao is naturally happy! Clapping his hands and feet: "Okay, okay! Why is it not good! You should have done this long ago."
One of the palace maids said: "A few days ago, Concubine Ziyan was very strict in checking. She came to check on our food delivery almost every day, so she didn't dare to secretly put delicious food. In the past few days, she seemed to be caught by something and didn't come to check. , We put fish and meat in the basket, and she doesn't know."
Chuntao took their hands: "Sister, thank you so much!"
