His Majesty suspects that he communicated the news with the Queen, so the Queen refused to come back
"No, no, no." Zhou Zhao waved his hands again and again: "The queen mother really just asked the servants to visit. Your Majesty must not misunderstand. Even if the queen mother said something, it was for the sake of you and the queen—"
The long sword, which was as sharp as mud, was lifted up, and half of the ear fell to the ground.
Liu Ziru's pupils shrank, he couldn't believe that he would really do something, the people around him fell to the ground, trembling between his thighs, and he didn't dare to breathe.
A brief silence.
Warm blood slid from behind the ear.
It hurt, but Zhou Zhao didn't dare to scream, because the long sword was still pressed on his shoulder, Li Ying didn't say anything, but all his actions showed that he couldn't get a satisfactory answer. his head.
"Miss, the queen mother, let the slaves give advice to the queen... to save your majesty."
"Go on."
"As long as the queen can try hard on herself, Master Xiang, she will definitely come to intercede for him..." Zhou Zhao kowtowed like crazy: "The servant will never lie, Your Majesty, Your Majesty knows clearly, the servant definitely did not deliberately sow discord, Don't let the queen return to the palace!"
"How many times?"
"No. 1, it's really the first time. Empress, Empress is afraid of pain... Before, I haven't, I haven't..." Zhou Zhao cried weakly, he slowly lay on the ground, he didn't dare to raise his head again Look, my heart is bleak. Doesn't your majesty hate the queen? Why is it suddenly being maintained now
The long sword trembled, and Li Ying looked grim: "You all know that he is afraid of pain..."
Liu Ziru's face twitched, and he finally knew why Li Ying was so angry. In the past, the emperor and the queen had a cold war, and Liu Ziru often dealt with the two. He had seen Yun Qingci gesture with something on his wrist, but every time When I see him, I get cold and don't start.
Yun Qingci also had his own pride. He didn't know how many times he had done psychological construction secretly before he collapsed and hurt himself yesterday.
No wonder his personality has become more and more extreme in the past two years, and his actions have become more and more ruthless.
"Your Majesty." Liu Ziru took two steps on his knees and said: "Your Majesty, calm down, Zhou Zhao's death is not a pity, but now the Queen is still in the Prime Minister's residence, if he learns about this, in case he is scared..."
This is a rather euphemistic statement.
Li Ying's change was too sudden, and Liu Ziru had a hard time getting used to it. If Yun Qingci knew about it, it would be even more outrageous.
Will he dare not go back to the palace because he is afraid of Li Ying
The reason is actually a bit far-fetched, but Liu Ziru, as the emperor's supervisor, must remind him to always correct his words and deeds, after all, he is the king of a country. What's more, what Yun Qingci likes has always been the gentle and decent Li Ying.
I don't know if Li Ying cared about the emperor's face or Yun Qingci more, but after all, he lost his sword and walked into the table behind the screen.
Liu Ziru ordered Zhou Zhao to be taken to the Imperial Hospital. While picking up the sword on the ground, he warned everyone not to talk too much about corrupting the virtue of the emperor, then wiped the sword and hung it up again to follow.
The emperor sat behind the table without saying a word. He used to overturn the table when Yun Qing resigned, and Liu Ziru was able to speak to comfort him, but now the still water was running deep, and there was no visible disturbance on the surface. He couldn't start.
"Do you think I'm crazy, sir?"
"… no."
Li Ying smiled strangely a few times, then lowered his eyes and said, "I'm just crazy."
Liu Ziru didn't dare to talk, but he knew what Li Ying wanted most at the moment, so he changed the subject skillfully: "These days are full of snow, and then there will be the Ice Festival, and the next few days will be very lively, do you want to accompany you, Your Majesty? Let's go to Canglan Lake together later? I remember that the Queen used to like it very much."
"Bingxi Festival?" Xiangfu, Yun Qingci smashed the bright red plum blossom petals in the mortar, and raised his eyes unexpectedly, wondering: "Fourth brother wants to go with me?"
"Father said that you are bored at home all day, which is not good for recuperation." Yun Qingsu sat down opposite him, took the dessert from the plate and stuffed it into his mouth, saying, "I was going to let the second brother accompany you, but the punishment department If you're busy, let me take you there."
Yun Qingxiao is the minister of the Ministry of Punishment and is in charge of the prison. Most of the time he is involved in cases, while the third brother Yun Qingjue, as the deputy commander of the Western Camp of the Ministry of Defense, also goes to the barracks every day, and the rest is in The patrol division had mixed up Yun Qingsu, who was the captain.
Yun Qingci's eyes lit up and said happily, "Okay."
In the past few days, Yun Qingci didn't get too close except to eat with his family every day. Most of the time he stayed at home by himself.
The initiative of his father and brother to get closer has undoubtedly made him a lot easier. Yun Qingsu did not dare to say that his father had other purposes for him to approach Yun Qingci. He hoped that those of them who were older brothers would be able to do their best when Yun Qingci finally let go of his defenses, so that Yun Qingci could feel that they were the closest to each other. people.
Then... persuade him to reconcile with Li Ying.
Yun Qingsu was actually a little reluctant in his heart. After the death of his mother, Yun Qingci completely cut off the relationship with the Yun family. Now that he was wronged by others, he knew that he had come back to find his father and brother. Why did he go earlier
He twisted on the chair, his eyes fell on the younger brother's happy face, and he thought that the words were almost done, let's withdraw.
Yun Qingci watched him come around, wondering if he couldn't bear his curiosity, or was looking for a topic, and asked, "What are you doing with it?"
"Make paint." Yun Qingci explained seriously: "This flower juice is very positive and can be used on ceramics. Control the temperature, and the color will be very bright."
"Why did you suddenly think of doing this?"
Because he was always clinging to Li Ying, Li Ying found a lot of husbands for him in order to make him less clingy, trying to distract his time and attention, Yun Qingci learned a little bit in order to make him happy, He also burned a superb glaze in his previous life, and happily took it to Li Ying to see his learning results. Li Ying just came back from the council hall that day, and was very unhappy because of the tight frontier war, and he was annoyed when he saw him , dropped him easily.
The old master who taught Yunqing to make porcelain heard that he was seriously ill from anger, and he shouted that he was going to die.
Yun Qing's brows were slightly cold, and he smiled again, and said, "You can sell it for money, and Dad doesn't like it, I want to burn him a top-quality glaze, this is a surprise, brother, don't tell him secretly."
Yun Qingsu was in a trance for a moment, then returned to God: "Do you want to give your father a gift?"
"Yeah." Yun Qingci lowered his head, continued to make the flower juice, and said, "I want to make Daddy happy."
Yun Qingsu didn't think he could burn anything good, but this thought was enough to soften his heart. He raised his hand to touch Yun Qingci's head, and then silently shrank back.
Although Yun Qingci didn't let him say it, Yun Qingsu still didn't hold back. As soon as he left the yard, he went straight to the main house: "Father, Xiaoci said he wanted to give you a surprise!"
Yun Xiang couldn't get used to him being so old and rude, with a light tone: "I said it was a surprise, what did you say to me?"
"Oh." Yun Qingsu was poured a basin of cold water and said expressionlessly, "It's the child who talks too much."
He turned to leave, but was stopped again, Yun Xiang asked with a stern face, "What surprise?"
Yun Qingsu snickered and turned around with a dignified face: "It's said to be the best glaze, and you haven't seen it before."
As soon as Yun Xiang heard it, he knew that it was an empty cannon: "You young people just don't know the sky and the earth. How much does he know about this? You also follow your words, even if you burn a kiln for a lifetime, you don't dare to guarantee that you can produce the best quality."
"Anyway, that's what he said, believe it or not."
Yun Xiang snorted and waved his hand to get him out of the way.
The next day, when he went to court, Han Shangshu, the Ministry of Officials, quietly approached Yun Xiang: "I heard that Your Majesty went to the mansion the day before yesterday."
Prime Minister Yun nodded and asked casually, "How did you know?"
"Someone recognized Mr. Liu in front of the car." Han Shangshu sighed and said, "Why do you need to smear the emperor's face, and let the queen go with him."
Yun Xiang shook his head. Even in front of his old friends, he didn't reveal his wholeheartedness. He just said, "Your Majesty didn't specifically want to pick him up. It's not like you haven't heard what he does to Xiaoci."
"So it is..." Han Shangshu suddenly realized: "It is said that His Majesty has not achieved his goal, how can he give up easily."
Yun Xiang pretended to be sad and sighed, and Han Shangshu patted him on the shoulder comfortingly: "But now that the queen is willing to live in the prime minister's mansion, you can be relieved."
When Yun Qingci returned to the door, he just went to the prime minister's house for a short walk, and went directly back to the suburban courtyard where he and his mother lived when he was a child. It can be said that everyone knows that the father and son are incompatible.
Yun Xiang nodded and said mysteriously: "Have you ever seen the top-quality glaze?"
"You know what to do, and the real glaze picking is hard to come by." Han Shangshu said angrily: "Even if you have it, it will be sent to the palace. How can I see it?"
Yun Xiang suddenly felt at ease. Everyone knows that the best glazes are hard to come by, but Yun Qingci has the heart to give him a top-notch glaze. Who has such great filial piety
Of course, he knew that Yun Qingci couldn't burn it out, so he didn't have enough to say. Anyway, just his heart was enough for him to be happy for a long time.
Han Shangshu said again: "Speaking of this, Bazhenju seems to have produced a fine product. I heard that Taiwei Qiu has already said hello in advance. Would you like to go and see it together?"
Yun Xiang was surprised: "Eight Treasures Residence?"
He remembered that he also said hello.
"Master Yun Xiang." A voice came from behind him, and Han Shangshu smiled and turned around to say hello, "Prefect Qiu."
Yun Xiang's expression was indifferent, and Taiwei Qiu stepped forward with his hands and looked worried: "I heard that Xiaoci was injured and recuperated at home. I don't know what is going on now... Is the injury not serious?"
"I have Tai Lieutenant Lao to worry about, everything is fine, kid."
"I wanted to ask my wife to visit, but I thought that your Yun family has no female dependents, which is inconvenient, so I had to come and ask myself... Xiaoci, are you still obedient?"
The Yun family has only two female relatives. The eldest sister married Shuofang Jiedu early, and now she is stationed in Lingzhou with her husband, and cannot return to Beijing unless she is summoned. Mica has been in a coma because of Yun Qingci's assassination. She was already in poor health, and she became ill from worry. When Yun Qingci woke up from a coma at the age of eight, she saw her mother lying beside her pillow. He thought that the other party was taking care of him and he was too tired to fall asleep.
The weak Yun Qingci reluctantly ate something, and then touched her, only to realize that her body was cold, and she died guarding him.
Yun Qingci always believed that although his father did not directly kill him, he indirectly killed his mother.
The matter of the Yun family was well known to everyone. When Yun Qingci was in a coma, Mica and Yun Xiang completely broke up and he was not allowed to visit other courtyards. Therefore, Yun Qingci did not let Yun Xiang attend the funeral. Xiang also really didn't bother her, just followed from a distance and watched until she was sealed in the tomb forever.
Qiu Taiwei's remarks can be said to be cruel, but Yun Xiang's expression is always calm, he thinks of the well-behaved and sensible young son these days, and even smiles: "I won't talk about housework here, if the Taiwei is interested, we can have a teahouse. Sit down, I just want to know about the current situation of Qiu Wei and Qiu Yang's two students."
Those were Taiwei Qiu's third and fourth sons, and they had to call Yun Xiang a teacher. One of the two brothers was ignorant and only fiddling with wood, and the other went to places where there were many girls. Except for the eldest son, Qiu Xian, who was relieved, these two were just here to anger him.
A sneer appeared on Qiu Taiwei's face, "No matter how my Qiu family's children are, they have never chased men all day long. Now His Majesty has even confiscated his return to the door, so he was about to declare his abolition directly... I want to see it. Look, after Yun Jun, who can't live without His Majesty, will he put on a good show for us."
He left with a swirl of his sleeves. Yun Xiang narrowed his brows slightly, which was what he was most worried about.
The most urgent task at the moment is to let Yun Qingci get rid of his hard-to-find thoughts as soon as possible, and completely reconcile with the emperor.
He bid farewell to Han Shangshu: "I have to go to Bazhenju again."
Good things can't be robbed by the enemy.
Snow Ji, Canglan Lake is frozen with thick ice, and the Ice Festival is here.
The wound on Yun Qingci's forehead had scabbed over, so he took off the gauze. Fortunately, in winter, the brim of the hat is very large, which can block the wound. He got up early in the morning, packed himself up, and went out with the fourth brother in the car.
Li Ying was a step late, and Liu Ziru came back from the door and replied, "The Queen and the Fourth Young Master went out together, and it was also a lake."
Vendors have gathered by the side of Canglan Lake, the crowd is surging, the sky is clear, snow is everywhere, the sky is white and blue, and it is beautiful.
Yun Qingci got off the carriage, closed his eyes and took a breath, the cold snow breathed into his lungs, and his whole body was refreshed.
A familiar voice came: "Qing Su."
Yun Qingci raised his eyes, and Yun Qingsu had already stepped forward: "Little Marquis."
The only son of Princess Yan Zhao, Li Ying's companion when she was young, Lin Huaijin.
All of them have been read by Guozijian. He has a good relationship with Yun Qingsu. To be precise, he has a good relationship with Li Ying and Yun Qingci.
More than a year ago, Yun Qingci killed a court servant who was close to Li Ying. Lin Huaijin happened to pass by and rebuked Yun Qingci severely by virtue of being a year older and his past relationship. The two had a few arguments.
Later, Li Ying arrived. At that time, Li Ying also knew to say good things for him. He told Lin Huaijin: "He is not like this by nature, he just loves me too much, I will take care of him."
Yun Qingci never understood why Li Ying would say such relatively private words in front of Lin Huaijin, but he was very useful at that time, he thought Li Ying understood him.
Later, he was put into the cold palace, and Lin Huaijin went to help him to plead with Li Ying: "Even if the prime minister's government is guilty of forming a party, what is the crime of the queen? After all these years, can you really not see through his heart?"
"Has Your Majesty forgotten it?" He also questioned Li Ying in front of Yun Qingci: "You said that he is not paranoid by nature, just because he loves you, now, you want to deal with his sins with arrogance and domineering, is this the case? Is it His Majesty's plan to kill?!"
Li Ying dragged him out in a fit of anger and hit twenty big boards.
Until then, Yun Qingci didn't know that Li Ying's words were not addressed to him, but to Lin Huaijin.
There was a commotion in the ear, Yun Qingci's face was as delicate as ever, and the white brim made it even more cute. Lin Huaijin stepped forward and bowed to greet her: "See your empress."
"Call me Xiaoci." Yun Qingsu said, "There are many people with mixed eyes, so it's safe."
Lin Huaijin was silent for a while, her voice slightly hoarse: "Xiao Ci."
Not far away, Li Ying's carriage stopped. He lifted the curtain and saw Lin Huaijin beside Yun Qingci.
Liu Ziru instantly felt the surrounding temperature drop rapidly.
