Zhou family, Zhulan has been feeling uneasy ever since Jinyan came back to deliver the letter. Shuren actually entered the palace, and he entered the palace alone at this time. The eyes of the entire capital will be focused on Shuren. It’s scary to think about it!
Boss Zhou was so anxious that he was spinning around. "Mom, Dad has been in the palace for an hour and a half. How come there is no news from the palace?"
Zhulan had all kinds of guesses in her mind, but she remained calm on the surface, "Boss, sit down."
Boss Zhou couldn't sit still because he couldn't hear the news from the palace. As soon as he sat down, he felt as if he was pricked by a needle. But when he met his mother's eyes, he held his breath and sat obediently.
Zhulan looked down at her hands. Now she understood why some people liked to play with beads. She also wanted to play with them. With something in her hands, she could calm her mind.
Apart from the eldest brother Zhou, all the other people in the Zhou family who can take on responsibilities either go to the government office or to the academy. The eldest brother Zhou has no brothers with whom he can discuss things.
After a cup of tea, Zhou Lao Da couldn't help but ask, "Mom, do you want to call the second and fourth brothers back?"
Zhu Lan glared, "The capital has been keeping an eye on our mansion, and you mobilized a large force to get them both back. You think you don't care about gossip, don't you?"
Boss Zhou shut up, but why was he so uneasy
Zhulan closed her eyes and didn't want to look at her eldest son, as his emotions would affect her.
Chang Yi from the Ministry of Rites was also confused. They had already sent out several waves of people to inquire about the news, so how would he know
Lord Liu also seemed to be hesitant to speak.
Chang Yi looked upset, "I really don't know."
Lord Liu believed it. He also knew a little about his future in-laws' temper, but he still wanted to know more. "The Marquis never revealed it?"
Chang Yi shook his head, "No, my brother-in-law came to the capital yesterday, and I didn't see my father last night. We didn't leave together this morning, and we didn't talk to each other."
Lord Liu felt a little regretful, and said, "Inviting the Marquis to the palace at this time should be a good thing. The Emperor really values the Marquis!"
Chang Yi curled the corner of his mouth. His father certainly didn't want this kind of attention. Alas, he was very worried about his father. There was no news from the palace, and he felt uneasy.
There were all kinds of speculations outside the palace, but inside the palace, Zhou Shuren had already gone to the toilet, eaten some pastries, and watched the emperor sleeping with a wooden face.
The Queen Mother also went to rest, and there were only him and the Emperor in the bedroom. The Emperor was taking a nap and really wanted to curse. Not only could he not leave the palace, he was also trapped in the bedroom.
Zhou Shuren glanced at Eunuch Zhang who was guarding the door. He wanted to go out, but alas, the retired emperor's condition was getting worse due to nightmares, so he had to keep him to feel safe.
However, Zhou Shuren narrowed his eyes, he believed that what the retired emperor dreamed was true, without him, the court would indeed go like a dream, what the retired emperor said was not the most serious, the temperature was abnormal, food would always be in short supply, there was no good plan, and there was a global food shortage, people would have to fight to the death, and what would follow would be war and unrest.
Zhou Shuren breathed a sigh of relief. By then, the entire dynasty might end, and corpses would be everywhere. The mere thought of it was depressing.
What’s more, it was the emperor emeritus in the dream. The emperor emeritus cared so much about the country. It would be strange if the dream was so real that the emperor emeritus was not seriously ill.
The emperor was not asleep. He moved his ears and opened his eyes. He saw that Marquis Zhou had a heavy face. "Why is Marquis Zhou sighing?"
Zhou Shuren, "I can enter the palace tomorrow. I don't know what the whole capital is talking about me now."
The emperor glanced at his sleeping father. Not to mention that his father was exhausted both physically and mentally, he was also frightened after hearing his father's nightmare. He thought carefully that if it weren't for Marquis Zhou, his father's dream might have become a reality. He was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat. Not to mention that his father didn't let Marquis Zhou leave to find a sense of reality, he also wanted to find peace of mind.
The emperor said: "I will send someone to inform Zhou Houfu. If you are tired, you can rest here."
Zhou Shuren, "..."
He didn't want to talk any more nonsense, he was determined not to let him leave.
The emperor added: "After the master of Huguo Temple has told your fortune tomorrow, you can go back."
Zhou Shuren, "..."
He can't avoid it, it's really annoying.
In the bedroom, Zhou Shuren couldn't help shrinking while sitting on the small kang. Finally, he couldn't sit still anymore, so he simply plucked up the courage to let himself go. He pulled the pillow beside him and lay down with his head tilted. Whatever happens, he won't stay up any longer and will fall asleep.
Your Majesty, "..."
The corner of Eunuch Zhang's mouth twitched and he quickly lowered his head. The position of Marquis Zhou in his heart was raised again, and he now submitted to Marquis Zhou.
The prince didn't know what was going on inside the bedroom, so he had to guard outside. Several of his uncles had already left, and the prince didn't understand why the emperor invited Marquis Zhou into the palace.
It was getting dark, and all the Zhou family members who had gone to the government office had returned and were staying in the main courtyard. Chang Yi and the others listened to their mother's words in a daze.
Chang Yi couldn't help but confirm again, "Mom, you said my dad stayed in the palace tonight?"
Zhulan: "Yeah."
Changzhi swallowed his saliva and said, "Mom, the emperor?"
Zhu Lan's face was wooden. "The emperor has woken up. The imperial physician said he needs to be well taken care of."
Changzhi understood. It meant that the retired emperor was fine, and if he hadn't left any last words, then why didn't he let his father leave the palace
Mingyun asked, "Grandma, has my uncle left the palace?"
Zhu Lan shook her head, "No, I'm still in the palace. Okay, don't stay here with me anymore. Go back and do what you need to do."
Boss Zhou refused to leave, "Mom, Li and I will accompany you."
Zhulan waved her hand, "No, you guys go back."
She asked Eunuch Zhang why Shu Ren stayed in the palace. Eunuch Zhang just smiled and said that it was a good thing to make her feel at ease. Finally, he left politely.
Zhulan racked her brains but couldn't think of any good thing. Promotion was impossible, and the emperor was fine, so what good thing could there be? Could it be that she became the prince's teacher? Was that a good thing? She just felt bad, and the royal family didn't keep their word.
Many people couldn't sleep that night, and several princes in the palace were even more confused. Zhou Shuren was guarding his father in the bedroom, and even the crown prince didn't have this treatment!
Don’t talk about relatives, bah, I don’t know how distant a relative is.
Rong Chuan faced his brothers' questions with a frozen expression, "Brothers, please don't embarrass me. I really don't know."
He was also confused. When his father woke up, he didn't see any of his sons except the emperor. He only saw his father-in-law and kept his father-in-law with him. It was really strange.
Zhou Shuren had already changed into his casual clothes from home. He never thought that he would be able to share a bedroom with the retired emperor in this life, but the small kang was not very comfortable to sleep on.
The next day, the master of Huguo Temple entered the palace in a low-key manner. The prince entered the bedroom this time. Master Huixin of Huguo Temple was surprised when he heard the request, "Your Majesty, you asked me to calculate Zhou Hou, why do you want to calculate it again?"
Zhou Shuren had been feeling uneasy ever since he met the old monk, but now he feels at ease. The emperor even secretly told fortunes for him!
The Emperor had a good rest yesterday, and his face looked much less gloomy. "I have been having nightmares recently, and Marquis Zhou is not in my dreams. Master, please help Marquis Zhou."
Master Huixin listened to the dream of the retired emperor and turned to look at Marquis Zhou. Last time he only calculated his birth chart, but this time he saw his face. He was silent for a while and said, "My calculation is correct. Marquis Zhou will stabilize the country and bring peace to the nation."
Zhou Shuren, "..."
You calculated too quickly, and there are only a few words
