The palace returned to quiet, and Han Ruzi saw the backs of many people, and they also had rich expressions: the Empress Dowager's brother Shangguan Xu was trembling. He probably thought this was a conspiracy against the Shangguan family; the kneeling posture of King Donghai, Cui Hong, the uncle of King Donghai, was the most standard among the people, but tried to hide behind Prime Minister Yin Wuhe; the back of the old prime minister was also trembling, revealing not fear, but decay, which means that all this was not under his control; the right censor Shen Mingzhi's back arched slightly, as if he was about to jump up at any time...

All of this may be imagination. Han Ruzi ended her random thoughts and came to Liu Jie, the Zhongzhang Seal.

The eunuch put down his other leg, knelt on his knees, lowered his eyes, and presented the unique seal in the world to the emperor.

Han Ruzi took the brocade box and started the heavy hand. It was hard for Liu Jie to raise it for so long. A piece of treasure seal was placed in the box. It was a whole piece of white jade. It was slightly damaged. He only glanced at Yang Feng and looked at him, but he still didn't know what to do next.

However, Yang Feng had already lowered his head and refused to give another reminder.

The same is true for others, only Tokai Neptune, who was kneeling at the door, occasionally casting jealous eyes.

There are many imperial seals of the emperor, and this seal of the kingdom is the most precious. Only by stamping it can a formal imperial decree be promulgated. For example, the new Southern Army Grand Marshal Shangguan Xu, although he has received his seal, can only be called the "Secretary of the Southern Army Grand Marshal". Only after the emperor issued the imperial decree can he become a real position.

Han Ruzi's heart was pounding. Mastering the seal means mastering the imperial power within ten steps and within a thousand miles. He can easily bring his mother into the palace with just one sentence...

But he didn't even manage his business within ten steps. Looking around, there were not many people in the room that were trustworthy.

"I am still young... I don't understand the government affairs, I rely on the support of the empress dowager. Please give it to the empress dowager." Han Ruzi stammered. He was too nervous, even more nervous than guessing that he would be killed sooner or later.

"Abide by the order." Jing Yao said, and got up and came to the emperor, took the brocade box, and greatly relieved. Just as he was about to turn around to meet the queen mother, Prime Minister Yin Wuhei looked up and said, "Your Majesty is filial to the heavens, so it is better to issue an edict to reward the mother of the world to lead the world first."

Jing Yao really wanted to slap himself hard, but he almost made the same mistake again. If he wanted the seal to be used legitimately by the empress dowager, the emperor had to issue an edict. So he stopped and simply stopped talking and asked the more experienced ministers to deal with the matter. He only thought about how to deal with Liu Jie later.

"Okay." Han Ruzi answered briefly, feeling a little empty. Knowing that the seal did not really belong to him, he still felt the regret of losing, or the desire to possess, and even felt that he had let Liu Jie down. However, after a glance at Yang Feng, he was finally convinced that the choice to hand over the seal was correct: the old eunuch blinked very concealedly.

The prime minister struggled to get up and draft the edict himself. It took some time. Most of the people in the hall were kneeling. Jing Yao regretted that he was moving too fast. He was not standing or kneeling in his hand in the seal box.

Listening to the Zheng Pavilion curtain was lifted, a middle-aged female palace walked out of the palace and said in a righteous voice: "The Empress Dowager has an order. The seal is an important weapon of the country. It is set by the ancestors and cannot be changed. It will still be handed over to Liu Jie, Zhongzhang Seal for safekeeping."

Everyone in the room raised their heads and looked at the female official in surprise. The prime minister Yin Wuhui, who was writing, also stopped writing and pondered the Queen Mother's thoughts.

Jing Yao was particularly surprised, but the fact that he could give out hot potato was something he wanted, so after he hesitated, he immediately walked towards Liu Jie and returned the seal box.

This is a puzzling game, and Han Ruzi can only understand it roughly.

The emperor did not stay in the Qinzheng Hall for too long. Prime Minister Yin Wuhe personally drafted the edict. Other ministers unanimously approved it and sent it to the Tingzheng Pavilion for the Empress Dowager to take a look. After the empress dowager changed several too flattering words, the edict was sent out again, which was reviewed by the emperor and stamped with the seal, which officially took effect.

In this way, through an edict praising his mother's virtue, the right to use the seal of the Emperor of Great Chu fell into the hands of the Empress Dowager, and Han Ruzi was sent to the Qinzheng Hall for the second time.

The eunuch Liu Jie, who protected the seal with death, retreated to the corner, and no more. The right-supervisor Shen Mingzhi, who is famous for his honesty, showed a meditative look on his face. Perhaps he was thinking about major events in the world. Cui Hong still evasived, and the upstart Shangguan Xu looked at the emperor respectfully, trying to hide his relaxed mood of relief...

Han Ruzi got nothing, and was still very excited in his heart. After all, the emperor was attracted by attention. He was less than ten steps away, but his hands were stretched out from ten steps away. Maybe on the way back to the inner palace, countless hands were dancing in the dark, but he just couldn't see it for the time being.

As soon as he returned to his residence, Yang Feng poured a basin of cold water on the emperor's excitement. At the door of the bedroom, Yang Feng grabbed the emperor's arm regardless of etiquette and pushed him in. At the same time, he waved his hand to prohibit others from entering. Two palace maids in the house were wiping the objects, but Yang Feng was also driven out by him.

"The situation is urgent." Yang Feng's expression was extremely harsh, with a hint of accusation, "Please tell me the truth."

"Of course." Han Ruzi felt that Yang Feng was a little out of control.

"Have Your Majesty ever had any contact with Liu Jie, Zhongzhangxi?"

"No."

"Have your Majesty ever contacted anyone outside the bedroom?"

"No."

"Have Your Majesty known Liu Jie's actions in advance?"

Han Ruzi shook her head, "My every move-" The door opened, the palace maid Meng E walked in and looked at the two of them vigilantly. Han Ruzi continued, "I know nothing, please believe that I am more surprised by this matter than anyone else."

Yang Feng stared at the emperor for a while and nodded, "I believe in Your Majesty, please believe in me, just wait here and let me save the situation."

Han Ruzi glanced at Meng E and said to Yang Feng: "I don't understand, isn't the matter solved?"

Yang Feng did not look back or denounce the palace maids. "The matter of Liu Jie in Zhongzhangxi has been resolved. Yours has not. Fortunately, you have saved some of it yourself and gave the treasure seal to the empress dowager. There is not much time..." Yang Feng turned around and walked outside, paused when passing by Meng E, and said coldly: "Protect Your Majesty's safety."

Meng E did the most excessively when it comes to not following the etiquette in the palace. She seemed to not understand these things at all. Apart from a face without expression, she was out of place with other people. Facing the much higher status of the Zhongchangshi, she was even stingy to give a reply, but just looked back unceremoniously.

Yang Feng pushed the door and left.

The eunuchs and palace maids were waiting outside and brought in one after another, and they brought the late lunch. More than a dozen dishes were half of fish. Han Ruzi was already very hungry, but he had no appetite at this time. But he couldn't help but make the rules for eating. The dishes were served, and the next ones were snacks and tea. The whole ceremony took nearly half an hour to end.

Han Ruzi sat on the chair and looked at a mountain and water screen facing the oblique face. Suddenly, he found that he was doing nothing. He performed rituals, fasting, and ascending the throne were all over, and the seal was handed out. His last connection with the "Emperor" was interrupted. At first glance, the ordinary future was in front of him. Until death came, there would be no change. The most terrifying thing was that he sat here alone, while the struggle outside was surging.

The eunuchs and palace maids removed several cases in an orderly manner, with screens and food that they had not moved much. Han Ruzi really wanted to stop them and ask them how they view the emperor, but he had learned a lesson and did not want to hurt anyone because of talking too much. All he could do was smile on his face and praise those dishes that had tasted one or two.

What happened in the Qinzheng Hall was obviously spread to the inner palace. Although the emperor's kindness had not received a direct response, the waiter's eyes flashed a little, as if he was suspicious of something.

The waiters left, Meng E alone left. She closed the door, picked up a round stool, sat at the door, staring at her toes, as if she was listening to the sounds outside.

"Have you eaten?" Han Ruzi asked.

"Yes." Meng E at least replied.

"This spring came earlier, and some plants have sprouted."

This is not a problem, so Meng E won't answer.

"It's so boring to sit here. Can I go out for a walk?"

Han Ruzi thought Meng E would find a high-sounding reason to prohibit herself from going out, but she simply replied with two words: "No."

Han Ruzi did not force, "What else can I do except sit here?"

"You can go to bed, and I will wake you up at supper."

Han Ruzi glanced at the warm pavilion on her left hand, and she was not sleepy at all. She sat on the chair and was stunned and asked, "Didn't you enter the palace for a long time?"

Meng E slowly turned her head and glanced at the emperor, "How did you know?"

"I guessed it." Han Ruzi smiled. In fact, it was not difficult to guess at all. Meng E's temperament was too unique in the palace, and even a young man with little experience could recognize it.

Meng E continued to stare at her toes.

"How long have you been in the palace?"

“Where are people?”

"Is there anyone else at home?"

"Do you like life in the palace?"

...

Han Ruzi asked a question every once in a while, and didn't care whether the other party answered. In the end, there was nothing to ask. He began to tell his life, "I used to live in a small place, but there were many flowers and plants. I used to think there would be more flowers and plants outside, but I didn't expect that after I came out, I saw pavilions and towers. When I was five years old, I moved, the house was bigger and there were more slaves. Everyone was very nice to me, brought me various toys and told me stories. I like to listen to stories the most, and I can do anything like that, fox fairy, knight, general... When I was eight years old, I moved again and changed to a building. I ran up and down more than ten times a day. My mother said that this was good for my health. Then when I was ten years old, I moved into the palace. It's strange that I lived here for a month, but I didn't have any impression of it."

Meng E suddenly stood up, stretched out her left hand, signaling the emperor to shut up, and pressed her right hand against the door, really listening.

Han Ruzi was surprised. This was the inner palace, why did Meng E take the stance of being facing a great enemy?

Meng E sat down and said nothing.

"Liu Jie, Zhongzhangxi, is a loyal minister, but I know nothing about what he is doing today. I have never heard of his name before. I hope... the Queen Mother can understand." Han Ruzi believed Yang Feng's words more and more, and the scene that happened in the Qinzheng Hall was not completely over.

"Why tell me this?" Meng E turned her head and asked.

"I think...I guess...I think...you might be able to see the Queen Mother."

Meng E didn't admit it or deny it.

Han Ruzi was silent for a while, but still couldn't figure out why Liu Jie's actions made Yang Feng so nervous. And Meng E, she was obviously not just a palace maid.

Undoubted footsteps came from outside, Meng E stood up, moved away the round stool, waited for a while, and suddenly opened the door.

The King of Donghai, who was standing outside, was about to call the door, and there was no one around him. He didn't care about the palace maids, so he stepped into the house, looked around, bowed perfunctorily to the son, and said in a strange voice: "Your Majesty, you have caused a big disaster."
