Zhong Lishuo looked at the familiar face and was speechless for a while. In the dim light, the queen's eyes were frighteningly cold. Zhong Lishuo paused for a moment, then stood up and gave the Queen a salute: "Your Majesty." She whispered, but what she thought was how much the Queen heard just now.
The distance between them is very close, but one step away. Xuan Jingchen raised his eyes, looked at the young man's particularly pale face that was reflected by the lights, and said, "What exactly is what you just said? You even mentioned Emperor Zhao."
Her words were a little harsh, and Zhong Lishuo, who had never been treated like this before, was stunned for a while, then looked into the Queen's eyes, and after thinking for a while, said: "This matter is that I and the prince are going out to play in the palace today. What I've seen and heard," she said calmly, telling everything she had encountered today.
"I have already handed over the people to my father, and my father will inform Your Majesty tomorrow. Your Majesty, I hope Your Majesty will not tolerate these people who spread rumors indiscriminately." Zhong Lishuo met Xuan Jingchen's eyes, his eyes bright and transparent. With the purity and earnestness unique to young people.
Because it was the matter of Emperor Zhao, Xuan Jingchen, who was a little overreacted, took his sharp eyes, looked at Zhong Lishuo apologetically, and said, "You are a smart child, you have done a good job in this matter."
Her changing aura made Zhong Lishuo aware of it, and Zhong Lishuo, who clearly felt that the queen was a little angry just now, calmed down, and smiled when he heard the praise, "This is what the people of the Qing Kingdom should do for Your Majesty. Just now... Majesty's majesty Wushuang, I was somewhat stunned by the aura of His Majesty."
There was anger on Empress Fang Cai, and Zhong Lishuo felt it. For some reason, Zhong Lishuo felt a little uncomfortable. Maybe it was the Queen's completely different attitude that made her a little sad, or maybe it was the care that the Queen showed that made her feel sour.
If she still can't understand the Queen's concern for her, she is really stupid like a pig.
The feeling of understanding but not being able to respond made Zhong Lishuo a little uncomfortable. She hadn't seen the queen for a long time, but when she met at this time, she hooked up all those hidden thoughts. Zhong Lishuo was looking forward to having more conversations with her, but thinking about what the queen looked like just now, something was wrong in his heart.
Zhong Lishuo had no choice but to sigh, looked at the queen eagerly, and asked, "I haven't seen His Majesty for many days, I wonder if His Majesty is still well."
Xuan Jingchen knew that he was a little strict just now, and such strictness was unbearable for a good boy. She looked at the lively young man who had put away the restraint in an instant, hesitated for a while, nodded, and replied, "Everything is fine. Where have you and your son been today?"
"Mr. Lin Mengdie invited me to go to Chunfengyiyilou to listen to some of everyone's songs. After listening to my son and I, we went to Yuanzhou City Street." Zhong Lishuo responded, putting away the little emotions in his heart and smiling at him. With Xuan Jingchen.
"Yeah." Xuan Jingchen nodded and said, "It's getting late, you and your son should go back soon, the school will be open tomorrow."
"Does Your Majesty even know about the opening of the academy?" Zhong Lishuo just wanted to talk to her more. No matter what he said, as long as he was with the Queen, she would be happy.
"Tomorrow won't be a rest day. If the class doesn't start, is the salary of the white-collar man of the academy already paid?" Xuan Jingchen replied with a smile, looking at the young man in front of him, and said, "The night dew is heavy, go back and rest early."
As she spoke, she led the female officer behind her and walked forward. She didn't give Zhong Lishuo a second look, she just put down her words and left as usual.
Zhong Lishuo stood on the spot, handing in hand, watching the female official holding the lantern swaying into a thin line in the night wind and gradually drifting away, then bent over to pick up the lantern that Su He shook off, and led him to the residence go.
Su He was frightened by the aura on Xu Jingchen's body, and he didn't speak much along the way. When he finally reached the palace, Su He released Zhong Lishuo's hand, and said with a sigh of relief, "Emperor Qing is so scary."
"This is the majesty of a king of a country." Zhong Lishuo put down the lantern in his hand, and said to the prince, "Emperor Qing is a valiant and military ruler, and it is normal to have such an aura."
"Aren't you afraid?" Su He asked eagerly, "Asu, do you still like her?"
"Not afraid." Zhong Lishuo replied, "I like it." No matter what the queen is, she likes it.
Su He thought for a while, looked at Zhong Lishuo for a while, and then spit out a sentence: "A Su, Teacher Lan Dan said that you are too weak to be a warrior. I feel today that you are a real warrior."
He said it very sincerely, but Zhong Lishuo, who already understood what he meant, laughed, reached out and touched his head, and sighed, "Someone told me this before."
It was a long, long time ago. Before getting married, Miki told her with a sad face that General Xuan could overturn him with a single slap, Huang Sis, your small body is not enough for her to toss. You dare to marry her, you are really more powerful than the thirty thousand golden robe guards in Kyoto.
But if you like someone, you will care about these little things.
Zhong Lishuo thought to himself, the matter of revealing his identity, he has to speed up his pace.
Xuan Jingchen was supposed to know about it the next day, but because he saw Zhong Lishuo on the road, he knew all about it. The news revealed by this incident, she and Le Zhengying generally guessed seven to eighty-eight. Someone wanted to set the fire on her, and a few years after the peaceful days were about to start making trouble again.
So that night, Xuan Jingchen ordered the commanders to investigate the remaining Yuanzhou nobles. Xuan Jingchen, who had already prepared, thought that he would receive a memorial from Le Zhengying in the court hall on the second day, but he never thought that the first person to shake things off was a censor.
On this day, the imperial censor held a jade slip and played a performance in the office hall of the Jinpao Guards at the four gates of Yuanzhou City. The management of the bureau is a matter of the streets and alleys of Yuanzhou City. The censor reported that they were not good at governance, and allowed rumors to smear the emperor.
Xuan Jingchen stared at the censor holding a jade slip under the stage, and listened to her righteous words: "The department is passive and slack. Yesterday, a large number of witch opera troupes appeared at the head of Yuanzhou City, and the opera troupe performed in a mess. No one went out to stop it."
Behind Su Yanqing, a deputy commander of Jinpao Wei came out and said lightly: "There are many groups who perform witch operas every day in the city of Yuanzhou. "
"My lord, do you know what this witch opera troupe is doing?" The censor reprimanded, looking at the commander of Jinpaowei not far away, and said with a heartache: "This witch play means something, but it is slandering Your Majesty. Harm Emperor Zhao!"
"Slandering Your Majesty and murdering your monarch, do you not care about this kind of outrageous thing?"
When the censor's voice fell, the court was in an uproar, and everyone looked at each other in dismay. When Le Zhengying saw this situation, he had to stand up and said, "I saw what the censor said yesterday." She explained the things one by one. After speaking, he suppressed the censor's words, and told His Majesty, "There must be a traitor behind such a thing, and I hope Your Majesty will order the Office to find out, and don't let gossip go around."
Su Yanqing also stood up and expressed his attitude. So far, the matter of witchcraft has fallen on Jinpaowei.
The matter was not resolved so quickly, and the fact that Jin Paowei went to Xinghualou to arrest people quickly spread among the people. There were rumors all over the place, adding fuel and jealousy to repeat the witch play, and swearing that the emperor's murder of Emperor Zhao was indeed true.
The first is that the emperor is the ruler of heaven, who was sent by the Eastern Emperor to seize the state of Chu. The second is that not long ago, His Majesty held a grand ceremony for Emperor Zhao. Before the grand ceremony, the soul of Emperor Zhao lingered on the shore of Liangshui, but only because of grievances. His Majesty felt ashamed, and this was the great sacrifice of Emperor Zhao.
The people in the Department Office arrested a large number of people who performed witch operas, but the arrests caused rumors to boil over. Xuan Jingchen's glorious image cast a shadow over the rumors. Although she is the prince of destiny, she is despised because of the murder of the monarch and his wife.
Many people believed it to be true, and they were not ashamed of Xuan Jingchen's behavior. Even if there are not many such people, as long as there is one person who does not want to call her His Majesty, but instead calls her the Queen of Poison, then Zhong Licheng and Xu Mingyi have excuses for their actions.
Whenever a flag is raised, there is always an excuse.
With this reason, Xu Mingyi came into contact with those old nobles in Yuanzhou City and started their next plan.
Not only outside the court, but even in the court, there are people who are suspicious about the death of Emperor Zhao. There are many old officials from Chu State, thinking that the reinforcements were delayed in Wanzhou, they felt that this was the Queen's advice.
The rumors gradually became unfavorable to Xuan Jingchen. In such a stable era, there are too many people who want to seek benefits for themselves. Zhong Licheng's civil forces were operating very well, spreading such rumors throughout Yuanzhou City.
However, outside Yuanzhou City, under the strong control of Taiyimen, there was no wave.
Xuan Jingchen, who was in the vortex, didn't care at all about the increasingly muddy water around him. Because at such a time, it was time to catch all the fish that could not wait.
She ordered Su Yanqing to grab people and face the rumors with a stern attitude, but she never sent anyone to counter such remarks. The remarks burned to the Hongwen Pavilion, which made Zhong Lishuo, who had a good temper, even angry.
She heard the whispers of the first-year people, but she didn't control her emotions. She really threw the book on the head like a 16- or 17-year-old boy, and then directly fought with the person.
Only she was weak and weak, and she was beaten with a fist, and half of her eyes were black. Fortunately, Xu Renli and Su He arrived in time, and brought the warriors to hold them back, so they didn't suffer any more.
Afterwards, Zhong Lishuo and his group were dragged to the training room by the gentlemen and asked why. Others dare not explain because they know the consequences of talking too much. And Zhong Lishuo was worried that they were still a group of children, so he didn't plan to pursue it further. All she had to do was get out of her anger, and let's talk about the rest.
Because no one spoke, the gentlemen punished them for copying the scriptures. Zhong Lishuo was relieved, and honestly copied the scriptures. Because Xu Renli helped her today, she also copied Xu Renli's copy.
Halfway through writing the scriptures, Xu Renli leaned over, pressed her elbow, and said softly, "You fought well today, those who have dirty mouths should be beaten. If you criticize Your Majesty, you won't be punished by the golden robe guard. It's good to take it away!"
Zhong Lishuo glanced at him, already knowing that the other party had a clear-cut temperament, but he couldn't help sighing.
This child is a discerning person, how could this group be caught by the golden robe guards as if they were blind. Zhong Lishuo thought about it, accidentally pulled the corner of his eye again, hissed lightly, and smiled rather self-deprecatingly.
In two lifetimes, or a person in his twenties, when he is still so impulsive, it seems that he is really excited to be with young people.
She thought so, but she never thought that because of this fight, she would actually befriend Xu Renli's hot-blooded little friend.
