Quick Wear: The female supporting role makes a comeback by giving birth to a child

The little baby nodded his head obediently: "Happy!"

There are many brothers who play with him.

There is also his thirteenth brother who is about the same age as him.

Thinking of his Thirteenth Brother, Little Fourteen couldn't help but think of his Fourth Brother:

"Grandmother, Fourth Brother is always so cold. He never smiles, and he doesn't play with Fourteenth. Does Fourth Brother dislike Fourteenth?"

He was even a little afraid of his fourth brother.

Xin Guoguo was stunned for a moment.

Thinking of the evaluation of the Fourth Master in later generations, he rubbed Little Fourteen's face:

"No. Your fourth brother and you were born to the same mother. He is the closest to you among all your brothers. He just doesn't like to laugh."

Little Fourteen was comforted instantly.

She pouted and complained: "How can someone not like to laugh? Just laugh when you are happy, that's all."

Xin Guoguo felt a little helpless, but didn't explain too much to the little guy.

There are some things that he will understand naturally when he grows up.

How could there be someone who doesn’t like to laugh?

In the final analysis, it is just the environment that is beyond our control.

After playing with Little Fourteen for a while, it started to get dark.

Xin Guoguo called Cuizhu: "Go and tell the emperor to go to bed early."

Qi Yuan hasn't come to Ci'an Palace yet, and it's obvious that he has figured it out.

"Here."

Cuizhu responded and went to the imperial study.

*

Qi Yuan finally figured it out now.

He is recruiting secret guards to investigate.

After hearing Cuizhu's message, he smiled and replied, "I understand. Let the Queen Mother rest assured."

The mother and son understood each other tacitly.

Qi Yuan picked up a memorial book, but his eyes did not fall on it. Instead, he raised them slightly and looked at some empty space.

He did think about it for a long time, but still couldn't understand his mother's intention.

Until he gave up and started reviewing memorials, and saw this one in his hand.

This is a letter of apology.

Minister Zhou claimed that he had failed to educate his daughter and manage his household properly, which led to his concubine harming his wife and his daughter behaving badly.

He asked to resign from the Ministry of Rites and return home, and divorced his wife Zhou Tong.

The two words "Ministry of Rites" suddenly reminded him of the people he had accidentally seen today.

They were all wearing long gowns, holding a book in their hands and reading seriously.

Yes.

The spring examination, held every three years, is about to begin.

At this critical juncture, something suddenly happened to Zhou Jia, who was the Minister of Rites.

Qi Yuan didn't believe it was a coincidence.

Tong Family...

He tapped his fingers lightly on the armrest, his eyes full of contemplation.

At this critical juncture, the incident of the Zhou family mistreating the girl from the Tong family suddenly broke out. What role did the Tong family play in this?

What is their purpose this time?

Does the Queen know?

Qi Yuan had several questions in his mind.

But there was no answer for the time being.

He simply withdrew his thoughts and continued reading the memorial.

Seeing that the sky was getting darker, the personal eunuch cut the candle wick and bowed: "Master, the Queen Mother ordered me to remind you to rest early."

Qi Yuan: ...

He raised his head and looked outside. "What time is it?"

"My Lord, it is midnight."

"Then place it."

Qi Yuan stood up.

The man from the Ministry of Internal Affairs stepped forward and asked, "Your Majesty, are you going to turn over the cards today?"

Qi Yuan glanced at the green cards one by one, and finally shook his head:

"No need."

"Here."

After the morning court session the next day, the secret guards reported back the information they had obtained.

After reading the report, Qi Yuan didn't know whether to be angry or laugh.

The Tong family.

What a courage!

He wrote a comment on Minister Zhou's memorial yesterday:

"Divorce is granted."

He also asked someone to return the letter directly.

*

The residence of Minister Zhou.

Today, Minister Zhou still did not attend court.

He was asking his family to pack up their belongings, arrange a carriage, and prepare to return home.

However, he did not expect that the memorial he submitted would be approved.

But when he saw those four words, Minister Zhou was a little dumbfounded.

Your Majesty, what does this mean?

What about his resignation?

He read the memorial over and over again, but did not see any other comments in red. He became more and more confused.

The eunuch who came to deliver the memorial saw him scratching his head and face, so he slowly passed on the words of His Majesty to him:

"Sir Zhou, His Majesty has something else to say to you."

Minister Zhou hurriedly bowed.

The eunuch who delivered the message flicked his whisk and said, "Your Majesty has ordered that Lord Zhou should not only focus on state affairs, but also not look down on women. Lord Zhou should use his brain. When you have dealt with your family affairs, come back to court immediately."

Minister Zhou: ???

What do you mean?

Why doesn't he understand something?

"Okay, we have finished spreading our message. Minister Zhou, please think about it carefully."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

Minister Zhou came back to his senses and hurriedly bowed again: "Go slowly, eunuch."

Wait for the palace carriage to leave.

Minister Zhou held the memorial in his hand, and kept recalling what the eunuch who delivered the message had said in his mind.

Don't underestimate women...

Divorce...

He really doesn't pay much attention to family matters.

He is a man, so naturally he focuses on external matters.

He doesn't need to worry since his wife is at home.

Can……

Minister Zhou walked back to his study in a daze.

Your Majesty's words are not just imaginary.

Can……

He naturally knew what Tong had done.

In order to avoid a fallout with the Tong family and to give each other some dignity, he confessed his crime and put the blame on himself.

Could it be that Your Majesty knew about those things?

With your majesty's skills, it is not difficult to find out.

It wouldn't be difficult to guess that he had discovered something.

But His Majesty still sent this ambiguous message.

Its intention is certainly not that simple.

But no matter how hard Minister Zhou racked his brains, he couldn't figure out what the emperor's words were referring to.

Minister Zhou stayed in the study the whole day, even staying awake all night, but still couldn't figure it out.

The next morning, the servant knocked on the door and was surprised to see him looking so tired:

"Master, what's wrong with you?"

Minister Zhou yawned loudly and waved his hand: "What's the matter?"

The servant looked at his exhausted face and couldn't help but take a few more glances:

"Master, someone from the Tong family is here to take Madam back."

Minister Zhou nodded and stood up.

As soon as he stood up, he felt dizzy.

Everything went dark before my eyes, and I heard a scream of "Master", and then I fainted.

When Minister Zhou woke up, it was dark again.

Minister Zhou stared blankly at the top of the tent curtain for a long time.

It took a long while before I came back to my senses.

He turned his head away stiffly.

The servant was pulling the doctor's arm: "Doctor, please don't leave! Please take another look! My master has always been in good health. How did he suddenly become so ill? Doctor!"

"Alas, little brother, I really can't do anything. Lord Zhou's five internal organs have been in decline for a long time. He looked healthy before, but he was only supported by medicine. Now that the medicine has been cut off..."

The servant almost cried: "How could it be? My master doesn't usually take any medicine!"

The doctor shook his head and said, "I really can't do anything about this. But it's not hopeless. You can try to ask Dr. Shen. He has a miraculous hand that can bring back the dead. Maybe he can give your master a few more years."
