Chapter forty-six words on the back
It is a big deal for the emperor to spend the night in Qiuxin Palace. He can't just go there. Han Ruzi first went back to Tai'an Palace to take a shower and change clothes. Zuo Ji stayed near the emperor, wandering around, occasionally yawning lazily, and impatiently scolded Zhang Youcai or Tong Qing'e: "Hurry up, slut, the dogs raised in the palace are more obedient than you. Your Majesty is at ease, and I will teach them a lesson for Your Majesty."
Zuo Ji talked to himself, but no one responded, so he became more and more proud.
While Zuo Ji was not paying attention, Zhang Youcai shook his head slightly to the emperor. He had not found out how the imperial concubine conveyed the message. This was the first day, and Han Ruzi did not give much hope, so he blinked to show comfort.
Tong Qing'e focused on helping the emperor change clothes without making any hints, but at the last moment she quickly wrote a word on the emperor's back, afraid that the emperor would not feel it, so she wrote it again.
There were not many strokes of this word, but Han Ruzi didn't recognize it. Zuo Ji was present and could not ask, so he had to pretend to understand and set out for Qiuxin Palace. Zuo Ji stopped Tong Qing'e and Zhang Youcai, raised his eyebrows and said, "You don't need you anymore."
Tong and Zhang retreated, stayed in the emperor's bedroom, looking at each other.
The queen had already received the news in advance and was waiting in the Qiuxin Palace. The two of them sat down and had a few glasses of wine opposite each other. Several palace maids took turns to congratulate. Although the ceremony was simple, it lasted for half an hour before the two could enter the room to rest.
Taking off her coat, the last bit of adult temperament on the queen also disappeared. She was just a thin little girl, sitting by the bed and feeling uneasy, and she was not as capable and heroic as she was when she questioned Zuo Ji and the female official.
Han Ruzi sat sideways on the edge of the bed, keeping a distance from the queen, staring at her, hesitating in her heart.
The queen turned her head and glanced at the emperor, frightened by the expression on his face. The emperor frowned and bit his lip, as if he was thinking carefully, and as if he was trying hard with someone.
"His Majesty……"
Han Ruzi was woken up, "Ah... Sorry, I'm thinking... I'm thinking..." He didn't know how to speak, but then he thought, there was no need to beat around the bush, and at best he could fall deeper in danger, "Can I trust you?"
The queen was confused first, then showed a firm look and nodded, "I am Your Majesty's Queen, I will always be, Your Majesty can trust me."
"Okay." Han Ruzi didn't speak immediately, got up and walked to the door, listened with his ears for a while, and there was no sound outside. The palace maids should not dare to move around at this time, let alone eavesdrop.
He walked back to the bed and said, "Tell me, what are the plans of the Cui family?"
The queen was even more confused and stood up, a little shorter than the emperor, "Cui family...my family... is your Majesty doubting something?"
"I just can't figure out some things, I hope you can give me some tips."
Cui Xiaojun is only twelve years old, but she has received a good education and knows a lot of things. She roughly understands the emperor's meaning and said seriously: "I know that the Cui family's power is too great and has affected the stability of the court. I am the Queen of Great Chu. No matter what Your Majesty wants to do, I will stand on Your Majesty's side."
Han Ruzi smiled slightly, "What can I do now? The problem is... Someone told me that a person can be selfish, but he cannot be so selfish that he thinks others are not."
The queen also smiled, "The person who said such words to His Majesty is a little bold, but I understand what he means."
"So I'm confused. I know what the Queen Mother and the Minister want, and what many other people think, but I don't know what the Cui family is thinking. Grand Tutor Cui... Your father is leading troops outside and sending you into the palace. Even though he knows that the Queen Mother is pressing step by step, he doesn't seem to be in a hurry at all."
Cui Xiaojun looked at the emperor quietly. This young man was not only the emperor of the Great Chu, but also her husband. In all the education she received, obedience is the core meaning. She accepted it all by following her father at home and following her husband after marriage. She never thought about why, and now she would not think about it.
"I have three brothers, one younger brother. My father had ambitions and wanted to train them to become great figures. As a result, on the night before I got married, the two brothers got drunk and fought in public. No one could persuade them. My mother had no choice but to come out of the back hall and cried and begged them to stop. Such brothers, Your Majesty thought they could have any foresight? The Cui family hoped to be in power for the sake of enjoyment. When I heard that I wanted to be the queen, the whole family was extremely excited. There was only one sentence on her lips, 'The Cui family can be stable for more than ten years'."
"Don't they know you're going to marry a puppet emperor?" Han Ruzi couldn't imagine that the Cui family, which the Empress Dowager had always treated as a great hostile person, would be like such a group of people.
"They only care about the word "Queen" and then went to enjoy themselves. There were a few sensible people in the family, but they couldn't achieve great things. Only my father..."
"As far as I know, Grand Tutor Cui is the only person the Queen Mother is afraid of."
The queen sighed, "My father is always unsatisfied, he has no greater ambitions. He just always feels that the Cui family's status is unstable. He often says that wealth and honor are too easy to get, and that loss is fast. If you don't plan ahead, you're afraid that the Cui family will be defeated. However, only the father in the family is worried, and he always sighs that his four sons have been born in vain, and he is not as good as a nephew."
"Nephew...is he the King of East China?" Han Ruzi was a little surprised, and suddenly shook his heart, and a layer of sweat all over his body. He remembered that Tong Qing'e wrote the word "dong" on his back.
"Well, it's him." The queen's face was slightly dark, and she didn't seem to like mentioning this cousin.
"Is it really the King of East China?" Han Ruzi asked again, and took a step forward, feeling unbelievable. At the same time, countless thoughts emerged, telling him that this is the truth.
"He is very smart, and his father admires him very much, but he asked me to tell me that he is too smart."
Han Ruzi became more and more surprised and said blankly: "Tonghai King likes you very much."
"Bao," Cui Xiaojun spat on the ground, her little face turned red, and the queen's dignity disappeared suddenly. "He was talking nonsense, he... just because his mother casually said that he wanted to kiss and kiss, so he took it seriously. But he was a bastard, and my sisters, as well as my relatives, were all attracted by him. He said... When he became the emperor, he would take us all into the palace to be the queen and concubines. When the eldest sister got married two years ago, he also got angry. Moreover, the person he liked the most was not me, but the third sister. He said he wanted to let the third sister be the queen, but I refused to follow him, so he could only be a concubine."
Han Ruzi could imagine how King Donghai was angry, but he still didn't understand, "Teacher Cui... Your father appreciates someone like King Donghai?"
The queen nodded, "To be more accurate, my father appreciates King Donghai's mother, my aunt. My father often says that his sister is the smartest person in the family. She saw that Emperor Huan had the opportunity to become the crown prince, so she insisted on marrying her. Even if she didn't become a princess, she was willing to. King Donghai's temper was a little weird, but he was as smart as his aunt, and he never remembered her every time, and had many ideas. Mr. Luo didn't want to teach in our family back then, but after meeting King Donghai, he decided to stay."
Han Ruzi's mind was rumbling loudly. At first, she couldn't believe it, but gradually woke up and believed that the queen was telling the truth.
"No wonder when I said I wouldn't touch you, Donghai King agreed immediately, and he kept emphasizing that he was afraid that you would tell me the truth!"
"Your Majesty doesn't want to touch me?" Cui Xiaojun opened her eyes wide, and finally understood why the emperor refused to approach him.
Han Ruzi's face turned slightly red, "That's to deal with the Queen Mother..."
"My aunt and mother have indeed repeatedly told me not to mention the King of East Sea to anyone in the palace, but I cannot hide it from Your Majesty." The queen said firmly.
Han Ruzi smiled gratefully: "Oh, Luo Huanzhang learned from the Queen Mother of the Queen Mother of the East China Sea..."
Things suddenly became clear. King Donghai lived in the Cui family for many years, but his mother stayed in the palace until Emperor Huan ascended the throne and had to move out of the palace. She must have seen that the Shangguan sisters were secretly incompatible, and maybe they had contacted the imperial concubine long ago.
There were also those four imperial edicts, and Han Ruzi felt nervous, knowing that he had made a big mistake.
An imperial edict has been handed over to the Queen Mother to relieve her suspicion and make the emperor even more isolated. It is likely that he will use it to attack the enemies of the Cui family.
"Does the Cui family have a grudge against Piyuan Hou?" Han Ruzi asked.
The queen shook her head blankly, "I don't know that my father didn't tell her family about what happened outside."
The more Han Ruzi thought about it, the more he understood: Luo Huanzhang had three imperial edicts left in his hand, and the imperial edict to dismiss the Grand Tutor Cui Hong would not be taken out at all. It was used to deceive the emperor. The other two imperial edicts were what he really wanted. One was to remove Shangguan Xu's military power and the other took over the palace guards. Then everything came naturally - the Cui family would once again take over the power, and this time the foundation was more stable, because the emperor would be the King of Donghai who grew up in the Cui family, and the queen would be the daughter of the Cui family. As for which one was not important.
"So that's it." Han Ruzi murmured. The Cui family was retreating and actually had a knife hidden beside the empress dowager. The contact between the imperial concubine and Luo Huanzhang was the King of Donghai. Every time he attended a class in Lingyun Pavilion, he would walk behind and had the opportunity to pass on information with Luo Huanzhang.
As a result, everyone's selfishness is fully exposed.
The imperial concubine not only wants to take revenge, but also wants to be the queen mother instead of her sister. But how could she allow the Cui family to keep her promises after she gained power? The King of Donghai has her own mother, so there is no need to regard others as her mother like Han Ruzi.
Luo Huanzhang made great contributions. He claimed that he was unwilling to be an official, and would he become one of the most grateful people to the new emperor. Should he continue to assist the emperor as a commoner, or should he become the most powerful minister in one step?
Han Ruzi stood up and suddenly remembered Tong Qing'e. The imperial concubine took as a secret, but the palace maid found out in just one day.
Han Ruzi's head hurt a little, and raised her hand and tapped her gently twice. Zhang Youcai said that the slaves in the palace have their own channels, and even the queen mother didn't know. Maybe they could help the emperor?
Meng E said she would come again soon to give her the third pill. When the emperor was in the most dangerous situation, would she be willing to take action for a safer reward?
There is also the queen, although she is from the Cui family, she has proved that she is willing to stand on the side of the emperor and may be able to do something.
Han Ruzi became more and more confused as she thought about it, and she couldn't help but say, "What is Yang Feng doing?" He urgently needed guidance.
At the same time, Yang Feng also thought about the emperor and was thinking of returning home.
