Gently put the man in his arms on the bed, took off his outer robe, and covered him with a quilt, watching him frown slightly, his originally peaceful sleeping face was stained with melancholy.Bai Yutang's heart skipped a beat, he squatted down and sat on the bed, hesitantly stretched out his index finger, and lightly pressed between Zhan Zhao's brows, until he touched the cold skin, the man loosened his brows.As if he had absorbed the warmth, Zhan Zhao calmed down, rubbed Bai Yutang's fingers like a kitten, turned his face and fell into a deep sleep on the bed.

Bai Yutang was overjoyed, Zhan Zhao actually had such a cute side, and was about to play tricks on the sleepy cat for a while, when he heard a light cough next to him.

"Ahem..." Gongsun Ce stood by the table with his hands down, with an expression like I didn't see anything.Bai Yutang gave the master secretary a disappointed look, and sighed secretly how he had forgotten him who was always by his side, so he covered Zhan Zhao with the quilt, tucked the corners of the quilt, and secretly tapped the cat's nose Then he straightened up and followed Mr. Gongsun out of the room.

Carefully closing the door, Gongsun Ce was a little displeased: "Guard Zhan didn't sleep well, so I let him take a rest..."

"Hehe, sir, don't worry, my finger will definitely let the cat sleep until noon..." Bai Yutang laughed, but lowered his voice, "It's much more effective than sir's tranquilizers~"

It turns out that today is the time for Zhan Zhao to perform exercises for Bai Yutang to cure the poison.

In the middle of the night, Bai Yutang, who was awakened by waves of intense heat, was looking for some cold water to suppress the burning pain in his body, when Zhan Zhao came in with a white face.Seeing the man with red face and sweating profusely, Zhan Zhao hurriedly helped Bai Yutang up, sat upright and began to exercise his kung fu, while Gongsun Ce who came after him could only sit on the sidelines and watch.

As the cool internal force slowly enters from the back, it moves smoothly through the whole body, the discomfort on the body gradually fades away, and the burning pain in the dantian also gradually subsides, and then a gentle internal force swims out from the dantian, nourishing the meridians.Slowly opening his eyes, he realized that the candles on the table were much shorter, and the sound of the cook calling for the water-carrying boy came from outside the window. Has it been so long?Although he tossed and tossed most of the night, he didn't feel tired at all. On the contrary, he was energetic and comfortable. Bai Yutang knew that his skills had recovered a bit.Feeling that the person behind him was slowly recovering, Bai Yutang turned around and was about to tease him, but met the person's pale face.

"I'm sorry, I'm late this time," Zhan Zhao smiled wearily, straightened his clothes, and stood up on the bedpost, "Yutang, you go to sleep first, I'll send Master Bao to court..." Before he finished speaking, After speaking, the person staggered, but fortunately Bai Yutang was quick to hug him, otherwise he would have lost his nose and eyes...

"Mao'er, you should rest! Master Bao, I'll deliver it." Bai Yutang was so angry that this man's face turned pale, and he wanted to scare himself and Mr. Gongsun to death, and then go out to scare the rest of the Kaifeng mansion...

"How can I do it..." The person in his arms struggled and wanted to get up.Not wanting to listen to this aggressive cat's nagging anymore, Bai Yutang couldn't help but click on his sleeping bed, and sent Zhan Zhao back to his room with Mr. Gongsun's approval.

"Then, my lord, please ask Bai Yishi, oh no, it's Bai Yutang..." Gongsun Ce gave Bai Yutang a distracted look, reminding him not to forget the original intention of Dian Huan Zhanzhao.

"Okay, okay..." Bai Yutang gave a guilty smile, turned around and went back to his room, without even looking at the blood-colored official uniform, he changed into the white clothes he usually wears and left the courtyard.

Seeing Bai Yutang leave, Gongsun Ce turned back and went into Zhan Zhao's room, sitting beside the unconscious young man, holding his wrist to take his pulse carefully, with an indelible solemnity on his face.

After drinking a bowl of hot porridge hastily, Bao Zheng put on his official uniform and was ready to go. He didn't see the young man in red waiting in the lobby as usual, so he was a little puzzled. When he saw Bai Yutang in white, he smiled and talked to Wang Chao Mahan said hello.Then he understood that Bai Yutang had to send him to the morning court today.What happened to that kid?Forget it, it's better to ask Mr. Gongsun after you retire.

Before dawn, two yamen servants led the way with lanterns, and a group of people from Kaifeng Mansion set off.After leaving the gate, Bai Yutang shrank his neck, heh, the wind this morning is really cold...

Mr. Bao has been in the palace for a while. According to the usual practice, the court meeting once every three days cannot be completed without one or two hours, so Wang Chao Mahan and the others followed the usual habit and ordered the bearers to wait aside with the sedan chair, and then went to patrol the street. Alright, it's time to come back to pick up Mr. Bao before the end of the court meeting.Bai Yutang did not follow them, but went to a restaurant two streets away from the Palace Gate and ordered some dishes for breakfast.Although it was far away, the things at the gate of the palace could be seen clearly, and he could rush over as soon as Mr. Bao came out.Hmph, he only agreed to send his family off for the cat, but he never said that he would patrol the streets for him. What's so fun about patrolling the streets, the four gateposts and those yamen servants are more than enough to handle it.Besides, after staying in Bianliang for so long, why didn't he see other officials with the same duties come out to patrol the streets, and only Zhan Zhao, an honest man, did it himself...

Alas, the busy cat, the busy cat, and only Grandpa Bai. I spent a lot of time staring at it~ Thinking of this, the expression of Zhan Zhao's dependence in the morning appeared in front of my eyes. Although Zhan Zhao was in a daze at the time, this is more illustrative This cat is in love with the master~ Bai Yutang squinted his eyes and happily sipped the bird's nest porridge in the bowl, full of joy~

Inadvertently, a simple small sedan chair passed by downstairs, four bearers, two servants, and a maid who accompanied the sedan chair. The otherwise ordinary group caught Bai Yutang's attention.There was a servant girl following her, which meant that the person in the sedan chair was a female family member. Looking at the sun that was not too high, Bai Yutang rubbed his chin, wondering, what kind of female family member would come out so early?Moreover, the direction is still... the palace...

The unassuming gray sedan walked slowly for two streets, and entered through the side door without any hindrance, which caused Bai Yutang to think for a while, and wanted to follow up to have a look, thinking about it, it's okay to leave early in the morning. After all, the adult of the cat is very important.

The bearers carried the sedan chair for about half a stick of incense, and after passing the second palace gate, they turned right and entered an elegant palace.The bearers put down the sedan chair lightly, bowed their heads and withdrew, the four father-in-law then lifted up the sedan chair and walked towards the inner courtyard, the servant girl followed silently.After walking for a long time, I finally arrived at the destination, and the idlers all retreated, and the servant girl bowed and opened the curtain, calling softly, "Your Majesty, we're here."

A very well-maintained hand stretched out, and a biyingying jade bracelet lined the wrist, which became whiter and whiter, but it was a little thinner.Holding the servant girl's hand, the woman in a dark brown skirt came out, perhaps she had finally let go of the burden that once weighed her down. The king of the Song Dynasty for more than ten years, naturally exudes a strong and courageous spirit in every gesture, without anger and prestige.This person is the former empress dowager Liu E who led the practice in the royal temple after the current emperor took charge.

Empress Dowager Liu walked steadily towards the place where she used to live, holding the hand of her maidservant. Before reaching the door, she heard footsteps. The vermilion door was suddenly pushed open, and a woman in a gorgeous palace dress came out: "You are here!" ..." Although it is not a dress worn on a formal occasion, the empress dowager's gorgeous outfit is still unbearably heavy, and it makes people's neck sore. Being in a high position is so involuntary...

Ignoring the call of the court lady chasing after her, Li Yiyi hurried out, but shuddered under Empress Liu's stare: "Sister..."

The word "Queen Dowager" is cold and clear, but the meaning of tolerance is extremely far-reaching.Li Yiyi, you don't need me to remind you of your current identity.You are the queen mother, the queen mother of the Great Song Dynasty!Seeing that the man hesitated for a long time and finally walked back to the dormitory in a dignified and steady manner under the service of the maid, Liu E smiled calmly, that's how it should be.

"The Empress Dowager declares 'Jing'an' to see you..." Stepping into the hall with the eunuch's long trembling voice, Liu E's face was calm, and he could finally walk into this dark place with a completely different mood, and finally no longer in pain eh, yeah, no more pain...

After waiving Mrs. Jing'an's gift, Empress Dowager Li waved away her attendants and said hesitantly, "Sister..."

Liu E blew the tea foam silently, without saying a word.

"Sister, do you know why I invited you here..." Empress Dowager Li wrung the handkerchief tightly in her hands, with unspeakable panic in her eyes. Give it to him... I heard that Li Yuanhao is very vicious, if the princess marries, I'm afraid she will suffer... Xia Guo's envoy will arrive soon, what should I do..."

After talking for a long time without seeing Liu E speak, Li Yiyi called out anxiously: "Sister!"

Gently put down the tea bowl, Liu E raised her head and glanced at Li Yiyi, her eyes were red with blue shadows, and her haggardness and exhaustion couldn't be concealed by her delicate makeup. She might not be able to sleep day and night...

"Queen Mother," she said slowly, "I'm in the royal family, I can't help myself..." These eight short words have exhausted the sadness that the royal women are destined to be unable to get rid of, and also pointed out that the two people know each other, but they are dead. unacknowledged fact.As a princess, she is supposed to serve the royal family, and the respect of status brings great responsibility, especially in marriage.

"But Chunni's surname is not 'Zhao'!!" Empress Dowager Li slammed the table and stood up angrily, "She is not a member of the royal family, so why should she undertake the obligations of the royal family?! Why is she also one of the candidates?!"

"No, she is." Liu E looked at the angry queen mother lightly, "From the day you recognized her as a righteous daughter, from the day she accepted the title of princess, she is a member of the royal family. It is you who let her I have such a life." Seeing the woman who was obviously stunned, Liu E sighed, "You have only been with her for two years, and you are so concerned about her; Ling'er was raised by me, and I raised her for 20 years. Don't you want her to have her own happiness... who made them princesses..."

"I didn't expect it to be like this...Really, I never thought..." Li Yiyi sat down on the soft couch in a daze, "She is such a good child, gentle, kind, and chivalrous...she laughed Like, like Pinger..."

"Queen Mother!"

"I know, I know I shouldn't mention this name..." Li Yiyi sighed weakly, "But sister, I can't forget, I can't forget the past. I am not the queen mother of Song Dynasty, but a mother, Chunni To me is like Ling'er to you, if your own life is better than your own, how can you be willing to..."

"Li Yiyi, you are the Queen Mother, as a royal woman, this is the pain we must bear..."

"Sister...this is not what I want...how could this be..." Li Yiyi burst into tears, not caring that the rolling tears ruined the makeup on her face.

Liu E turned her face away, she didn't want to see the tears on Mrs. Li's back, and she didn't want her to see the sparkle in her eyes. What can I do, what else can I do... Who can understand the sadness of a royal woman?
