Zuo Ji looked at the emperor with a smile on his face and was full of confidence, sure that the emperor would surrender. He didn't even want to take more measures. He just looked at the emperor, as if he was trying to persuade the ignorant children to eat the last few bites of food and not waste the food he had worked hard.

He has been in the palace for more than two months. As a puppet, Han Ruzi felt the deepest that he was loneliness and disregarded. But at this moment, he felt humiliation. This was expected. The reason why he came late was just because it was not the top priority of the Queen Mother.

There were no ministers or even eunuchs around, and the emperor's majesty was torn off the last veil, revealing falsehood and powerlessness.

Han Ruzi's heart was surging, but he held it back and did not even forget to quietly run the reverse breathing method. He remained silent, patiently savored the bitterness in it, and looked for all available means of self-protection. Finally, he found that the only "weapon" he could use was Zuo Ji himself.

"Does Zuo Gong teach me how to be a husband and wife himself?"

The smile on Zuo Ji's face was eliminated, "Of course it's not me. The way of husband and wife is not a difficult thing to learn. Your Majesty doesn't need to worry, just let it go. The Empress Dowager chose three beauties in the palace..."

"Three?" Han Ruzi felt even more humiliating.

Zuo Ji did not pause and continued to say: "The doctor has seen all the physiognomy. These three people have gentle personalities and rich body shapes. In the future, they will be able to give birth to a noble son. If your Majesty has a descendant, then the Great Chu will be free of worries."

"You and the Queen Mother are worried, either."

The last smile on Zuo Ji's face also disappeared, "It's useless to say more. Please sleep and enjoy endless joy. Your Majesty will eat tonight and know the taste. In the future, I'm afraid that the three beauties will be too few. Please rest assured that I will stay outside the door with the inner living order to record the things tonight, so that I can leave some evidence in the future."

Han Ruzi didn't understand the eunuch's words very much, but the disgust arose in her heart. She walked forward two steps and said, "How old is Zuo Gong? He is less than thirty."

Zuo Ji was slightly stunned, "Twenty-five."

"Has Zuo Gong cleaned himself since he was a child?"

"What did your Majesty ask about this?" Zuo Ji's face looked a little ugly.

"I heard that eunuchs cannot do the way of husband and wife. Zuo Gong said it so nicely. I want to know if it is the feelings of those who have experienced it or whether it is heard from others?"

Zuo Ji's face turned red and he stepped forward, just a step away from the emperor. "Is Your Majesty playing with me?"

Zuo Ji couldn't hold back his anger and was easily angered. Han Ruzi planned to take advantage of his weakness. As for the consequences, he could not expect it and would not think too much. Anyway, he would rather make a big fuss than surrender.

"How dare I? I rely on Zuo Gong's care. I'm just a little nervous, so I want to ask more clearly."

Zuo Ji was confused and couldn't figure out whether the emperor's attitude towards knowledge was true or false, and his face relaxed a little, "I was purified at the age of sixteen, and I have heard of some things I haven't done before. Your Majesty doesn't have to be nervous, I'll call the palace maid in."

"Wait." Han Ruzi was thinking about how to make Zuo Ji furious immediately, "There is one more thing, the last thing."

"Please say it, Your Majesty."

"Did you get the injury on the empress dowager's hand?" Han Ruzi had nothing to say, and threw out this sentence without considering it.

The effect was immediate, Zuo Ji's face suddenly changed, and he said sternly: "How do you know...Who did you hear..."

Zuo Ji turned around and ran outside, too panic and almost fell at the door.

The room was quiet, and Han Ruzi returned to the bed and sat down, thinking that he had really caused a big disaster this time, but this would happen sooner or later. The Queen Mother never regarded him as a real emperor. Once she had a new puppet, she would abandon him. Instead of sitting there, she would have a fight.

But he was still a little scared, his heart was fluctuating, he forgot the method of reversal breathing, he remembered his mother who had not seen for a long time, Yang Feng, who was thousands of miles away, and even the elusive Meng E... He needed someone to help.

A figure gently rushed in and stood quietly beside the bed.

Han Ruzi looked up at the little eunuch Zhang Youcai, "Zuo Ji asked you to see me?"

Zhang Youcai shook his head blankly, "The slave is here to serve His Majesty."

Han Ruzi forced a smile, "You shouldn't come in, it will cause you trouble."

"Slaves are not afraid. Since they have been sent to serve His Majesty, they must do their best."

Is this another loyal official Liu Jie, or a tempter with ulterior motives? Han Ruzi was so tired that she didn't want to think about it anymore, "Go... invite the imperial concubine."

Han Ruzi said casually, but Zhang Youcai really regarded it as an imperial edict, said "yes", turned around and left.

The little eunuch probably couldn't even see the imperial concubine. Han Ruzi didn't even know what it meant to find the imperial concubine. She was the queen mother's sister and was in the same group as the queen mother, which was even more difficult to deal with than Zuo Ji.

But he did not take back the order and was determined to use all means. At this point, what he was fighting for is not whether he could do the way of husband and wife, whether he could have a prince, but whether he could keep the bottom line.

The sound of the ringing bells from outside came from outside, and the Emperor Shangguan actually came.

Two palace maids sent the imperial concubine to the chair and then stepped back, but Zhang Youcai did not show up.

"Why is Your Majesty depressed?" asked the Imperial Concubine.

The two were far apart, and the candlelight was dim, so the imperial concubine and the empress dowager were more similar.

"Why have to choose me as the emperor?"

"Your Majesty should know the reason."

"Because my mother is weak and has no foundation, is it easier for me to manipulate?"

"This is part of the reason." The Imperial Concubine paused, "No matter what outsiders say, the Empress Dowager chose His Majesty to consider the great Chu country. Cui was already in power, and another emperor was born. The Han clan was in danger. When Emperor Huan was alive, he had to eliminate Cui, but unfortunately he had not made any moves. Emperor Si inherited his father's will and had already made plans. Unexpectedly... So the important task fell on the Empress Dowager's shoulders. She had to use some means and had to reconcile with Cui first, which was all for the future."

"Since the Queen Mother's goal is Cui, why... why are you anxious to let me do the husband and wife method and give birth to the prince?"

The Imperial Concubine smiled and immediately became serious again, "Your Majesty has no son for a day, and the King of Donghai will be qualified to replace Your Majesty, and Cui's ambition will not disappear. Your Majesty is worried about his own safety. Your Majesty can rest assured, after having the prince, Your Majesty's position will only be more stable."

The imperial concubine's words were more convincing than Zuo Ji, but Han Ruzi still felt something was wrong and didn't speak for a long time.

"But the Empress Dowager was also a little anxious. His Majesty is still young after all, so how can such a thing be forced? I will talk to the Empress Dowager and advise her not to be too anxious. The future is long, and the King of Donghai is in the palace. Cui did not dare to be arrogant for a moment. It would not be too late to deal with Cui when His Majesty can handle government affairs in person."

The matter was actually settled, and Han Ruzi was also puzzled while relaxing. Did she misunderstand the Empress Dowager and the Imperial Concubine? Did Yang Feng always exaggerate his words?

"You won't force me again..."

"The Empress Dowager is reasonable and will listen to my persuasion. The palace maid will stay, but will not do anything to your Majesty without any rituals." The Imperial Concubine smiled, obviously also thinking that such a thing was a bit ridiculous.

Han Ruzi finally felt relieved, "I asked Zuo Ji about the injury on the empress dowager's hand, and I might have offended the empress dowager."

"The emperor will not offend anyone, and the empress dowager is not so easily offended." The imperial concubine stood up and prepared to say goodbye. "Your Majesty will have a day to take charge of the rule."

Han Ruzi didn't know what to say, "Thank you..."

The imperial concubine smiled, "Your Majesty, don't thank me. Everything the Empress Dowager did is for the great Chu country. Sooner or later, this country will be handed over to Your Majesty."

The imperial concubine left, leaving Han Ruzi alone in a daze. It seemed that it was too easy to survive this difficult situation. Since that is the case, why should the Empress Dowager send Zuo Ji before?

Zhang Youcai and Tong Qing'e came in to serve the emperor to rest, and the night was quiet.

Han Ruzi fell asleep late and had many strange dreams. When she woke up in the morning, she was full of sauce in her mind, but suddenly she realized one thing: the imperial concubine answered many questions, but she just passed by the question of the Queen Mother's hand injury. No, she didn't even mention it.

That morning, in the Qinzheng Hall, Han Ruzi understood why the Empress Dowager and the Imperial Concubine had to give in to him.

The outcome of the war in Kanto was not decided, and most of the energy of the court was spent on dispatching troops, but some people were not affected by the general trend, and kept their duties in mind, staring at the subtleties like a guardian dog.

Prime Minister Yin Wuhei intentionally waited until the emperor arrived, but he picked up a memorial, sighed, ordered people to send it to the Tingzheng Pavilion and handed it to the empress dowager, and then said to his colleagues: "The ninth letter is here, the Ministry of Rites, Taichang Temple, Taixue, and Imperial College, and now even the Censorate has memorials delivered."

"What does this matter have to do with the Censorate? Whoever is so bold, first consider him as a crime of overseering his duties," said an official.

Yin Wuhe shook his head, "There are many mad people in the Censorate. If one is involved, ten will pounce on it. It is better to be cautious."

Han Ruzi sat there quietly as usual as a decoration, not understanding what the ministers were saying. Soon, the imperial concubine Shangguan walked out of the warm pavilion and spoke on behalf of the empress dowager, resolving the emperor's doubts.

"It's just that the late emperor's reign title was used. Why are so many ministers opposed it?" The imperial concubine shook the memorial in her hand. "According to the saying here, not changing the year name will lead to the yin and yang imbalance, and the upper and lower levels will shake, which is even greater than the threat of the rebellion of the King of Qi."

Several ministers participating in politics looked at the prime minister.

Yin Wuhe had no choice but to go forward and said, "The rules set by our ancestors, those who are ministers dare not change them at will. The new emperor's new year name has always been like this. The old year name will be used for at most one year, and it will be inappropriate for a long time. If a rule is changed today, other rules can also be changed in the future, and the foundation of the court..."

The imperial concubine shook her head, "There are so many rules, so what if you change one or two? Did Emperor Wu and Emperor Huan never change the rules? I won't argue with you. The year name belongs to the emperor, so let Your Majesty decide it himself."

Yin Wuhe showed a clear expression of surprise on his face. It was originally one of his strategies to raise the year name in front of the emperor, but he did not expect that the imperial concubine would ask the emperor to decide.

Han Ruzi was not surprised at all. Finally understood why the Empress Dowager let him go. The only thing he didn't understand was: Is it so important to change the year name or not, that the minister and the Empress Dowager had an opposition?

No matter what, he knew that his answer was important, so important that he could use it to make a transaction.
