and total

No matter how many times she has seen the expressionless Wei Liao, Ziqiong will inevitably feel a familiar sadness.She entered the palace very early and was lucky. She has been taking care of Wei Liao for fourteen or five years, and these drastic changes have only gradually become apparent in the past two or three years.

As far as the relationship between monarch and minister or master and servant is concerned, it is best not to have any extra feelings, which is right and safe, but the tenderness in a woman's nature and the illusion of being dependent on each other for so many years forced her to give birth to completely inappropriate love. Compassion and compassion——Obviously I am also a poor person who is trapped in the mouth of monsters and cannot escape forever.

But what devoured her was nothing but the dense palace, but what devoured Wei Liao was the whole world and the throne, it couldn't be said who was more sad.

Ziqiong lifted the lid and looked at the ashes in the censer, inquired after seeing Wei Liao's expression, sprinkled another handful of spices, fiddled with the neat ashes, and buried the new spices, as if using this kind of thing To cover up the uneasiness and hesitation in my heart, or to cover up what I wanted to say: "I have asked about your Majesty's orders, but Mr. Fu...has hardly said anything."

Wei Liao raised his eyebrows: "Didn't you say anything?"

Obviously knew what he wanted to ask, but this was also the hardest thing for Zi Qiong to say.She can't say that he doesn't seem to have any attachment to you, and she can't say why he insists on pestering you like this. She can only say something that doesn't hurt, as if he didn't say anything: "Master Fu, he is not used to telling the truth to people When it comes to Youzhou, I only talk about some interesting things, when it comes to demoting officials..."

Feeling the stinging eyes on her body, Zi Qiong had no choice but to paraphrase: "He only said that he could see the sun with his eyes, but not Chang'an."

No one can say for sure how much resentment or openness there is in this sentence, or whether it is just a description of facts rather than an evaluation.

In her heart, Ziqiong actually wanted to persuade her to make peace, but she shouldn't be the one to say this, and there are too many things involved, not to mention that Wei Liao and Fu Xiru are not people who need others to take care of their personal affairs, so she can't help it. Overcome the pond.

In fact, Wei Liao was not angry, but rather thoughtful, wondering who was the first person who told him that he could not see Chang'an, and it was only after a while that he remembered that it was an idle book about two people arguing that the sun is far away. Or the short story of Chang An Yuan.

Look up to see the sun, but not Chang'an, so the sun is closer than Chang'an.

He sneered, and then asked: "What else did he say? Needless to say about Fu Xixing, I heard it."

Ziqiong knew that when she came in, Wei Liao's fully awake expression was completely different from his lazy voice, he must have woken up long ago, but he didn't make a sound.

Wei Liao was not like this before. He was a very obedient child when he was a child, and he was not very weird in his youth. After entering the reserve, he was crushed and had to act like an emperor, and he never really became happy.

Ziqiong knew that she could only persuade from Wei Liao, and also knew that Wei Liao definitely didn't want to hear her say these things. She was timid, but she finally mustered up her courage: "Actually...Your Majesty only needs to speak bluntly, and Lord Fu will understand you What do you mean, so why…"

Wei Liao was not angry when he heard the words, but glanced at her, without answering, and asked instead: "What did he do when I fell asleep, and how did he look?"

He was really sleepy at that time, even if he wanted to open his eyes, he couldn't open his eyes. What's more, after he suddenly realized that this was a good opportunity to test Fu Xiru, he couldn't find out that he was still conscious.Ziqiong knew what he was scheming recently, so she naturally paid attention to it at that time.

But Fu Xiru was too calm, and what she noticed were only minor details, and she didn't feel that she could prove anything by telling them out one by one.

She didn't think that Fu Xiru had completely cut off love and let go of the past, otherwise why would he have to come back?But today's scene makes people have to worry, even if there is no need to make a clean break with each other, they will have to drift away.

Wei Liao thoughtfully, opened his sleeves, and touched his wrist.

There was a slight commotion outside, Zi Qiong went out to check, when Wei Liao returned to normal, it seemed that the conversation just now did not happen at all, and asked her impatiently: "What's wrong?"

Ziqiong has always handled her duties properly, and replied lightly: "Concubine Pan sent someone to ask, can your majesty appreciate the small banquet that was held?"

Looking at her expression, Wei Liao knew that she had already figured out what was going on in his mind, so he also laughed immediately: "Then what do you say?"

Ziqiong knew that he was already joking, she stepped forward to help him sort out the mountain of memorials, without raising her head: "Your majesty said that your majesty is not free."

Wei Liao leaned back and was amused by her.From the perspective of most people inside and outside the court, Ziqiong is a gentle, considerate, humble and respectful woman. She is in the upper seat, but she never looks arrogant, let alone bullying others.

This is not the case.

Concubine Pan looked from the outside, although she was the No.1 in the current palace with a vacant position, but how much weight was there, because she didn't have the status she deserved, so she had to look at Wei Liao's intentions.Although she is beautiful and young, with a gentle disposition, Wei Liao must approve her.

In fact, she came from a good background. The former Emperor’s Concubine Pan Gui was her aunt. Although the family made a fortune because of Concubine Pan, they worked hard to climb up the ladder and raised a few capable children—not very capable, but It still works.

Back when Wei Liao had just succeeded to the throne, he wanted to hang Concubine Pan Gui to death out of the consideration of not wanting to be constrained in the palace, but he didn't do much to the Pan family.This has always been the case in the family of relatives. The nobles who can cling to are gone, and the prosperity and wealth of the family are gone.Few of them have ever been able to lay a solid foundation and stand tall while the grace of the noble is still there.

If you have such determination, then you don't need to gain wealth from your daughter.

Unlike Concubine Pan Gui, who has been ups and downs in the palace for more than twenty years, little Concubine Pan entered the palace at a good time, there was no major event in the outer court, and there were not many women in the inner palace who could be mentioned. With a beautiful face, he soon won the favor alone.

What Wei Liao is most afraid of is loneliness for no reason, so Yanju always needs someone to accompany her, so she is not a bad choice.

It's just that such special treatment is always easy to make people mistakenly think that there is something else in those companionship besides doting.Concubine Pan seemed too dull to Wei Liao.

He doesn't care much about women's stupidity, after all, they see too little, and even they don't know enough about the person next to their pillow. All the late emperor's concubines are the same.

It is said that the first queen who gave birth to him was different, but she passed away very early, Wei Liao had no chance to see what was different.

After Fu Xiru came back, Wei Liao focused all his attention on the possible turmoil in the court, and indeed he hadn't paid attention to Concubine Pan for a long time, let alone thought of her, Ziqiong naturally knew this well.

Knowing that he has no time to see him, he can refuse without replying.

After Ziqiong sorted out the messy memorial, she began to rub the ink, and the cinnabar was cut with water, and the ink was as bright red as blood.

Wei Liao suddenly said to himself: "If I knew today, I shouldn't have killed Pan Guifei."

The unfinished meaning in these words was too obvious, Zi Qiong was taken aback, a drop of cinnabar fell and hit the inkstone with a slap.

Wei Liao has always had no taboos, and he never shy away from mentioning the cause of Concubine Pan Guifei's death. After all, there are many people who know what happened, but this is the first time he has said something that he regrets. He was talking about Concubine Pan the moment before. .

Zi Qiong had seen Concubine Pan Gui when she was at her peak, but in all fairness, Concubine Pan was not as good as her.What's more, concubine Pan couldn't match her temperament, advance and retreat, but even so, Wei Liao's words were enough to make people tremble with fear.

Although there were a few people who steamed the concubine's mother since ancient times, they were all destined to be stigmatized for thousands of years. Zi Qiong remembered that the reason why Concubine Pan entered the palace was because Wei Liao suddenly thought of Concubine Pan, and she didn't know what to say for a while.

She is not a speech officer, she has no position to advise, and she knows that Concubine Pan Gui has died a long time ago, and this kind of thing will definitely not happen. The palace is gradually sinking underground, and everything is irreversible.

It is difficult for people who have seen all this not to panic, and it is difficult not to give useless advice.

Wei Liao noticed her nervousness, and smiled disapprovingly: "It's just a joke, what are you afraid of?"

Zi Qiong had no choice but to show a smile without much sincerity, taking it as a joke.

Wei Liao obviously didn't take this joke very seriously, and after a while, he lowered his head and opened the notebook to continue reading.

Just now when Fu Xiru was talking in the hall, he was also looking at these things intermittently, but he was not very serious and his hands were stained by cinnabar.

Although Ziqiong is one of the closest people to the emperor, she has always been very measured, she will not spy on things she shouldn't see, and quietly went out to arrange snacks.

It was cloudy outside, and the light in the hall was also dim. I am afraid that candles should be lit after a while, otherwise even the words will not be read clearly.

In the past, Wei Liao would not even be able to calm down with such a temper.He was impatient to look at these business-like and hypocritical things, and what was even more annoying was to dig out the real intention from them.The first emperor had a gentle style of work, so that the court learned from him to be unhurried. If it weren't for the new norms vigorously and vigorously implemented over the years, the matter of reviewing memorials would have been Wei Liao's biggest headache.

He stretched out his hand to open another book, suddenly paused, and vaguely remembered Fu Xiru's gentle and low-pitched laughter without burden.

It's not a hallucination, it's just a distant memory, because before they parted, he hadn't seen Fu Xiru's relaxed and happy expression for a long time.

He is usually gentle, but he is relieved, but it is very difficult to be relaxed, Wei Liao hardly remembers when he can really do whatever he wants in front of him—it was impossible in front of the emperor.

A person who has too good self-control, in fact, often disappoints the people around him, thinking that what he sees is not true, and what he gets is only what he should have. How to judge whether it is true or not becomes so difficult .
