Liu Zhao went to Weiyang Palace.
When the mother and son met, the atmosphere was a little tense.
Knowing the interest, Mr. Wen took all the palace people out of the bedroom, leaving the mother and son alone.
Liu Zhao coughed twice, as if his throat was stuck, and he felt uncomfortable.
"Is the queen feeling better?"
"You won't embarrass the fourth brother, will you?"
Both mother and son spoke at the same time, talking about different things.
Then Qiqi frowned again, and the atmosphere became more tense.
Pooh!
Liu Zhao bowed his head and laughed out loud.
The corners of the brows and eyes are full of sarcasm.
"In the eyes of the queen mother, what kind of person is I? Ruthless, everyone can be killed for the sake of imperial power? Or a man with soft ears and no opinions?"
Empress Dowager Pei's breathing became short of breath, and her eyes showed impatience.
"You just need to tell Ben Gong whether you will embarrass the fourth child. Isn't it impossible to answer such a simple question?"
Liu Zhao shook his head, "My mother obviously didn't listen to my question. Let me just say it straight, he is my brother, and I won't kill him."
Empress Dowager Pei breathed a sigh of relief, her tense face was visibly relaxed.
"I thank you on behalf of the fourth child."
"Let the fourth child enter the palace by himself to thank you." Liu Zhao's tone was severe and could not be refuted.
Empress Dowager Pei was speechless, froze for a moment, and then said: "You are too strict with him."
Liu Zhao was dissatisfied, "I have never asked him for it. Could it be that he is disabled, and he can't do it even if he enters the palace to thank him?"
Empress Dowager Pei waved her hand, "I'm tired, I don't want to quarrel with you. Tomorrow, I will send someone to the palace to ask him to come into the palace to thank you. And you, be kind to him. Don't meet each other, nose is not nose, eyes are not Eyes, pick his faults everywhere. No matter how bastard he is, you are also brothers with broken bones and muscles."
Liu Zhao hummed, "I have a question that I've kept in my mind for a long time, can my mother explain it to me?"
"You ask!" The Empress Dowager Pei will be in a good mood now, as long as there is no quarrel, she is willing to have a few more words with Liu Zhao.
Liu Zhao played with the finger on his thumb, and asked softly: "When I was twelve years old, I was injured and came back from the outside. The fourth child was naughty that day, fell from the tree and scratched a little bit of skin. The queen mother guarded the fourth child. Beside me, I was tense all night. On my side, the queen mother only took a quick look, and the bleeding wound didn't make the queen stay for a moment. I just want to ask, what in the queen mother's heart is I?"
Empress Pei's face was stiff, she looked at Liu Zhao with complicated eyes.
Liu Zhao smiled sarcastically, "The father passed the throne to his son, and the mother went crazy for a while, and even asked me to give up the throne to the fourth child. Isn't I the son of the mother? Don't you feel indebted for being so partial?"
"Hey… "
Empress Dowager Pei has been aging very quickly for nearly a year, and has lost the energy of the past.
She doesn't want to be noisy, and she can't be noisy.
She said weakly: "You two brothers, I am indeed partial to the fourth child."
The corner of Lu Zhao's mouth twitched twice, but he didn't make a sound.
Empress Dowager Pei said slowly: "The fourth child speaks early. When he was more than one year old, he yelled mother-in-law every day, chasing after me like a little follower. You speak late, and you only started talking when you were about two and a half years old. But you are not close to Bengong, and you resist very much when Bengong hugs you.
You brothers were brought up by nanny, no matter what time, the fourth child and I are very close. And you, Ben Gong said something ugly, you were born with a hard heart, no one can cover you up. Once, twice... ten times, eight times, as time went by, Bengong also lost patience, and turned to pay more attention to the fourth child. People like well-behaved and caring children. "
Liu Zhao smiled sarcastically, "Because I didn't get close to you when I was a child, you are so biased that you regard me as an enemy."
Empress Dowager Pei smiled bitterly and said, "I don't want to do this either. It's just that you have the right idea. How have you ever heard what I said in all these years. Would you be happy if Liu Yu and the others were against you again and again? When you saw him, Don't you find him annoying?"
"Even if I think he is a debt collector, I will definitely give him what should be given to him. I will never take away everything that should belong to him just because I despise him."
Liu Zhao made a loud noise.
Empress Dowager Pei's old face was flushed and she was very embarrassed.
"Things in the world are easier said than done. I am partial to the fourth child, ignore you, and even suppress you. I really owe you something. But I don't regret it! The fourth child is my favorite child , of course I want to leave all the good things to him. This is human nature."
Liu Zhao nodded, and said coldly: "I understand! In your mind, no matter how well I do, I'm not as good as the fourth child."
Empress Dowager Pei shook her head, "No, you are much stronger than the fourth brother, I have always known this. But in terms of feelings, you are not as good as the fourth. I have always been emotional, if you want the truth, this is the truth."
Liu Zhao laughed, "What a sentimental thing! After all, in your mind, I am not as important as the fourth child. Forget it, I am so old, why should I care about these things. The mother takes good care of her body, and I will come to visit you when I have time."
After speaking, he intends to end the conversation.
Really tired!
Why bother to come here? It's not easy to ask for it.
Empress Dowager Pei opened her mouth, as if she wanted to keep Liu Zhao, but in the end she didn't say the words to keep Liu Zhao.
Liu Zhao left, and Duke Wen entered the bedroom to wait on him.
Empress Dowager Pei was leaning on the Luohan couch exhaustedly.
"He hates me in his heart!"
This is a declarative sentence.
Even if someone argues otherwise, Empress Dowager Pei will stick to her own judgment.
She believed that her judgment would not be wrong.
Eunuch Wen sighed, "Your Majesty has a heavy heart."
Empress Dowager Pei laughed at herself, "In the past, I also hated her. Now, whether you hate her or not is not so important."
"Your Majesty is right! One day, His Majesty will figure it out."
Empress Dowager Pei looked miserable, "I'm afraid I won't be able to wait for that day."
When Eunuch Wen heard this, he became anxious, "Your Majesty, please take care of your health. The imperial physician prescribed a meal list to take care of your body. As long as your empress cooperates with the imperial physician, your health will get better and better."
"What's so good! A lot of age, no matter how good it is. I have lived a few years longer than the late emperor, and I have earned it."
"How can your empress say that? Your empress is a few years younger than the first emperor..."
"It's alright, alright, I know what you want to say. I've been very tired and irritable these days. Now the fourth child is sure to be fine. In a few days, I will definitely get better."
Eunuch Wen finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He is someone close to Empress Dowager Pei. If Empress Dowager Pei is gone, he will lose his future.
Go to the imperial mausoleum to guard the tomb!
This result is already considered relatively good, at least it can end well.
He didn't dare to expect that the Empress Dowager would reuse him when the Empress Dowager Pei was not around.
Those are the honors that only people like Chen Dachang and Chang En can enjoy.
…
Xiao Qin'er held back her energy.
She has already shared her thoughts with Liu Yi twice in a row.
"I want to kill that bitch Xiao Shu'er!"
Liu Yi persuaded her: "The situation in the court looks tense, but it's all nonsense. I may not be respectful enough to the emperor, but I definitely don't intend to rebel. This point, the emperor's heart is clear. The censor has been making trouble for so long. For a long time, the Jinwu Guard has been silent, this time it must be a false alarm. And you, don't talk about killing people all day long."
"How do you determine that it was a false alarm? If His Majesty gets annoyed with you and wants to take the opportunity to treat you... then this family will be over."
When Xiao Qin'er mentioned the excitement, she burst into tears.
She wiped her tears, feeling terrified.
Liu Yi comforted her, "I understand Brother Huang's temper, I promise this time it was a false alarm. You are just worrying."
"I was worried about you, but you actually said that I was worrying unfoundedly. Liu, do you have a conscience?" Xiao Qin'er was angry.
Liu Yi laughed, "That's right! Don't cry all day long, it's very ugly. Cry out all the wrinkles."
"Where are the wrinkles? Don't talk nonsense."
When she heard that wrinkles appeared on her face, Xiao Qin'er panicked, and hurriedly looked in the mirror to look left and right.
The skin is as delicate as ever, and there are still three fine lines around the eyes, no more, no less.
Knowing that she was cheated, she was furious, "Liu Yi, you bastard!"
Liu Yi laughed, "I am making you happy. Don't be anxious now."
Xiao Qin'er hit him, and took several punches to relieve her anger.
She panted and sat on the chair, "Xiao Shu'er, that bitch, you won't be angry if she framed you?"
Liu Yi shook his head, "She only has this trick, so it's nothing to be afraid of. And she can't use the same trick a second time."
Xiao Qin'er angrily said, "You are too tolerant to her. Could it be because she likes you?"
Liu Yi frowned, "You're out of your mind! What nonsense are you talking about? Could it be possible to really kill her? She's a concubine, just stay away from her."
Xiao Qin'er gritted her teeth, "I can't swallow this breath."
"Then what do you want to do?"
"I want revenge."
Liu Yi said solemnly: "As long as you don't make mistakes in principle, all dynasties and dynasties have treated the late emperor's concubine more tolerantly. She is a concubine and served the emperor before, so the emperor will give her some dignity."
The so-called mistakes of principle mainly refer to the situation of men and women, or cooperating with others to rebel.
Xiao Shu'er is a smart person, she won't make principled mistakes and let others catch her.
Xiao Qin'er gritted her back molars, "According to what you said, as long as she is not caught, she can be wealthy for a lifetime?"
"more or less!"
"Can't she be punished for framing you?"
"It can be punished! The premise is that Brother Huang is willing to intervene in this matter and is willing to seek justice for me. But obviously, Brother Huang is not willing to meddle in my affairs. He despises me!"
Speaking of the word disgust, Liu Yi's tone changed.
His whole person became bad, very irritable, very annoyed.
Xiao Qin'er was straightforward, "Then let's find a way to kill her! I don't believe it, we can't find her weakness."
No matter what, we must take revenge and kill Xiao Shu'er.
Xiao Shu'er struck first, harming her whole family. Don't blame her for not caring about sisterhood.
Liu Yi didn't think about revenge.
At this moment, he is very sad!
He just wants to drink, not to face the reality that he is not as good as Liu Zhao.
