My heart hurts when I mention the abolition

The person in front of him was skinny, and the veins in his exposed palms were faintly visible. Coupled with the cowardly eyes that dared not look directly at others, Chen Yizhen knew how the life of the person in front of him was going without thinking.

Even though he knew that this was the normal state in the palace, Chen Yizhen still couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

It is said that the richest place in the world is in the imperial palace in the capital, but let her say that this wealth has nothing to do with 90.00% of the people in the palace, and only the very few ten percent who can really enjoy the wealth.

Turning his mind, Chen Yizhen lowered his eyes, sighed secretly, and finally said, "Your original surname is Zhong?"

The little eunuch flinched subconsciously, showing a humble and cowardly expression on his face. After a while, he plucked up his courage under Xiao Yuanzi's encouraging eyes, and he stumbled and replied, "Hui, Hui Niang, the slave is indeed Zhong's surname."

"The family used to be an expert in medical horses?"

The little eunuch paused, raised his eyelids and looked at her shyly, Fang hesitated and replied: "Yes, yes."

Chen Yizhen frowned, what is "yes", yes is yes, no is no, why are you so hesitant, hesitating, could it be fraudulent?

Thinking of this, she raised her brows slightly, but she calmed down, sat upright, not in a hurry, and was silent for a while, when the little eunuch calmed down and became more disturbed, she said, "I think Xiao Yuanzi has informed the matter in advance. As for you, you also know the purpose of calling you here today. I will tell you the truth, if you are really a descendant of the Zhong family, you can be used by me and the emperor to solve the troubles of this palace and the emperor. , any reward is not a problem, but if you dare to lie to me, the gate of the Palace Prisoner, you should know where to open it."

The little eunuch's face turned pale instantly, and even his legs softened, and he fell limp to the ground in fright.

Seeing this, not to mention Chen Yizhen, even Madam Zheng looked dissatisfied.

Xiao Yuanzi hurriedly stood up, and said: "I want to report to your empress, this friend, servant, is really a descendant of the Zhong family."

He kicked the little eunuch, and winked at him desperately, "Your Majesty asks you what, you just tell the truth, this is not a dragon's gate and a tiger's den, what are you afraid of!"

Chen Yizhen raised his hand to cover his eyes, he couldn't see it, even if this little eunuch was really a descendant of the Zhong family, looking at him like this, and hearing that he entered the palace at the age of six or seven, could he learn the handicrafts inherited from the Zhong family?

The little eunuch coughed and stood up tremblingly. Perhaps Xiao Yuanzi's words comforted him, or he was frightened by Chen Yizhen. At this time, he said honestly: "Ms. Hui, this slave is indeed a descendant of the Zhong family, but, A slave doesn’t know how to use Zhong’s medicine.”

As expected, Chen Yizhen's eyebrows were stained with disappointment.

"However," the little eunuch swallowed under the empress's sudden bright gaze, and said, "Although this slave doesn't know how to do it, I still have a cousin alive, who is intelligent and steady, and was raised as a family tradition since childhood. , therefore, the cousin should know."

Chen Yizhen was a little excited, "Really? Where is your cousin now?"

After such a narration, the little eunuch gradually calmed down and became less nervous.

He lowered his head, "Hui Niangniang, of course it is true, and my cousin lives in the suburbs of Beijing not far from the capital."

At that time, their Zhong family was confiscated by the former emperor and exiled outside the customs. It was true that life was worse than death. During that time, most of the relatives in the family also passed away due to various reasons. They were finally able to leave the customs with grace, and later, they worked hard to return to the suburbs of Beijing to settle down, and finally stabilized for the time being.

As for him, he came into the palace because his father was seriously ill and there were three younger siblings who were waiting to be fed.

Chen Yizhen stood up with open eyes, "If what you said is true, don't worry, I will definitely seek rewards for you in front of the emperor."

Clinker, when the little eunuch heard this, he waved his hands hastily, and said anxiously: "No, no, this servant thanked the empress for her kindness, but it is a great honor for this servant's family to be able to share the worries of the empress and the emperor, and this servant would never dare to ask for it." any reward."

He looked terrified, waving his hands and feet violently, and he could tell at a glance that this was his sincere words.

Chen Yizhen was funny, knowing that he was afraid that the emperor would pursue their family again because of the incidents of the former emperor, so he comforted him: "Don't worry, the emperor is a wise king, and rewards and punishments are right. Those who should be punished will never be tolerated, and those who should be rewarded will never use the public for personal gain." .”

After all, she turned away without looking at the young eunuch's suddenly ecstatic expression, and she wanted to tell the emperor the good news.

The emperor is indeed worried about this matter at this time, and what makes him even more annoyed is that those ministers who eat the court's food and work for the court don't want to find a solution, but they even hook up with the harem with ulterior motives like a backyard girl, saying what The thing is that he did not choose to abolish the empress, but instead re-established the empress position, causing dissatisfaction from the heavens, and hereby sent down punishment to warn the world.

Spinning and haggling all day long and not doing business, the only little thought has gone astray.

The emperor couldn't bear it, so he immediately ordered people to take off the official hat of the troublemaker, and ordered people to drag it down.

Seeing the emperor's furious anger, the others dared not touch the head. They all shrank like quails, and they were extremely honest.

It was in this environment that Chen Yizhen came to Qinzheng Hall to seek an audience.

Needless to say, the ministers were all relieved to see the emperor's unconsciously softened brows and eyes. Then, their hearts were complicated. Judging from the current situation, the emperor really honored the empress. What did they say because of the Chen family? There is no such thing as hating the queen, and the most aggrieved thing is that they can only watch the queen stabilize her position step by step.

Chen Yizhen was led into the Hall of Qinzheng. When she came in, she saw several ministers standing in the center of the hall. She was stunned for a while, and felt a little uncomfortable. This was the first time she met ministers from the previous dynasty in the Hall of Qinzheng.

However, she came here this time for important matters of the previous court, so it really doesn't matter if the ministers are there or not.

The emperor knew that the empress was not an idler who just came here for a stroll, not to mention that he still left the ministers here to discuss important matters, so he was very curious about the empress's intentions.

"What's wrong?" he asked.

Chen Yizhen didn't think about it any more, but when he thought of the good news she brought, even the minister could not help being overjoyed, she took a step forward, arched her hands, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, my concubine has found a descendant of the Zhong family."

After the voice fell, the hall was silent, and the emperor was still a little unresponsive.

The other ministers were also at a loss. What descendants of the Zhong family?At that time when the Taifu brought up this suggestion, only he and the emperor were present at that time, and the emperor only used his own forces to find the descendants of the Zhong family, so others really didn't know about the Zhong family.

But all of a sudden, the Taifu stepped forward, and because he was so excited, he almost fell a shit, his face flushed, and his beard trembled, "Ma'am, what you said is the one that I think about in my heart." The Zhong family?"

Chen Yizhen nodded reservedly, "Exactly."

The emperor also reacted, he stood up abruptly, stared at her with radiant eyes, and asked the same question, "Maybe you are sure?"

Chen Yizhen smiled and said: "It should be no problem. If the emperor wants to ask in detail, why not send someone over, that person is still in the concubine's Zhongcui Palace."

The emperor calmed down, sat down, turned around and ordered Rong Sheng to bring him over quickly.

Rong Sheng turned around in response and slipped away.

The gate of Qinzheng Hall was opened and closed, and the ministers in the hall were talking face to face in low voices. Most of the ministers didn't know what riddles the emperor, queen and Taifu were playing.

The emperor calmed down, and saw Chen Yizhen standing upright below, with a fair and delicate face between the fox fur scarf and a pair of big bright eyes that were like crystal beads, shining brightly.

Unconsciously, his heart softened, and he ordered the eunuch, "Move a stool for the queen."

He waved to her again, "Come here."

Chen Yizhen hesitated, she did not object to the emperor ordering someone to move the stool, but it would be inappropriate for her to sit on it, but after thinking about it again, she usually sits on the top with the emperor at New Year's banquets, so she only hesitated , she went up with a click.

It just so happened that the little eunuch moved the stool over, and she took advantage of the opportunity to sit down.

The emperor touched her hand and felt it was warm so he was relieved, but he couldn't help telling him again, "It's getting cold, don't forget to bring a hand stove when you go out in the future."

Chen Yizhen smiled, "All the courtiers and concubines remember it."

The two whispered occasionally at the top, rubbing their ears and temples together, and then the ministers finally found out the reason of the matter from the Taifu. For a while, their moods were extremely complicated, especially those who had just followed the trend and persuaded the emperor with Lord Liu, and felt that the empress could not bear the responsibility. The minister felt his whole face was burning at this moment.

They felt that the empress, who could not bear the great responsibility, had found the descendants of the Zhong family, but they, who felt worthy of the great responsibility, could only make noise and bicker, and could not even come up with a practical suggestion.

She looked up shyly, well, the two of you are busy talking about each other, and you are full of love, and you don't see them at all.

They lowered their heads, stayed aside obediently, and remained silent.

After a meeting, Rong Sheng brought the little eunuch over, and the emperor personally asked him about the details of the Zhong family, and according to what he said, he sent people out of the palace in time to look for his promising cousin. It was determined whether his cousin was really promising, and whether he had fully passed on what the elders had learned, but after some testing and torture, the emperor was almost sure that this was indeed a descendant of the Zhong family.

Ordering someone to take him out, the emperor ignored the presence of the courtiers, grabbed Chen Yizhen's hand, and said gratefully: "Queen, you are really my lucky star."

Chen Yizhen felt very uncomfortable. She had a very good relationship with the emperor recently, and it was common for her to hug and hug, but these all happened when no one was around, but now it is located in the Palace of Qinzheng, where he often handles government affairs, and there are so many people below. Minister, under the watchful eyes of everyone, how dare the emperor...

"Your Majesty, there are so many people below, let me go..."

The emperor glanced down coldly.

The ministers trembled and took the lead. The Taifu coughed and proposed to leave with interest. Now that the person has not been found, there is nothing important for them to stay here. It is better to leave first than to receive the emperor's eyes.

The emperor gave a faint "um", sure.

Seeing this, the others stood up and bid farewell. The urgent attitude seemed to be that the emperor is a dragon's pond and a tiger's den. It was a joke. They didn't see that the emperor was warming up to the empress. They stayed here to poke the emperor's eyes.

The emperor is not a good-tempered monarch, he wanted to punish the minister without hesitation at all.

After everyone left as if their farts were on fire, the hall finally calmed down.

The emperor looked at Chen Yizhen with a smile, "There are no outsiders now."
