marry queen

The atmosphere in Yongshou Palace was very dignified. Attendant Lin Xuan was sitting on a low stool, and the Empress Dowager Zhou was sitting in the main seat with a gloomy face. Shen Zhiqiu knelt down to pay her respects. As soon as she finished speaking, the Empress Dowager Zhou said coldly, "Mr. Yunyu, you So brave."

Faced with the queen mother's sudden attack, Shen Zhiqiu was full of doubts, suppressed the discomfort in his body, and knelt down to reply, "I don't know what I have committed, so please tell the queen mother clearly."

"Hmph! You're still being stubborn here. You're using stag blood wine to harm the emperor's dragon body in order to compete for favor. Don't you admit it?" The Queen Mother placed the teacup on the table heavily and questioned him.

Shen Zhiqiu suddenly understood in his heart that Fu Yu had indeed told him that there was something wrong with the wine he drank. He thought that he was framed by someone, or Lin Xuanshi and Queen Mother Zhou joined forces to serve him and Fu Yu. With a trick, he was neither humble nor overbearing, and said loudly: "I have never used this kind of thing, please ask the Queen Mother to look into it."

"Could it be that Ai's family has wronged you?" The Queen Mother said, "Since you forgot, then go kneel outside and think about it carefully. When you think it through, you can talk back."

After finishing speaking, he winked at Bian Qi, and Bian Qi respectfully stood in front of Shen Zhiqiu, "please" him out, Shen Zhiqiu knew that the Queen Mother was here for him, no matter what he said, today's punishment cannot be avoided, so say less Maybe he could get less punishment for his words, so he followed Bian Qi to the courtyard of Yongshou Palace without saying a word, and knelt down straight.

The place where the side flag was picked happened to be a small gravel road. The full cobblestones paved on the road looked very beautiful, but it was especially uncomfortable for people to kneel on them.It just rained yesterday, and the gravel road was still very damp. Shen Zhiqiu was wearing thin clothes, and the cold air kept creeping into his body from his knees. Within a quarter of an hour, he felt his knees start to go numb.

After Fu Yu came down to court today, he was pestered by the Minister of Industry to discuss matters, and he didn't come out of the imperial study room until almost noon. Jin Fu rushed up to report the matter, Fu Yu stood up, and said anxiously: "Why didn't you say it earlier!"

"You have ordered before that you are not allowed to interrupt casually when discussing matters." Jin Fu dared not say this, and could only kneel down and plead guilty, "Damn the slave!"

Fu Yi didn't even look at him, and hurried to Yongshou Palace.

Shen Zhiqiu had been kneeling for almost two hours, his knees couldn't support his body, and because he had just done something last night, his body was very weak, so he started to shake a little.As soon as Fu Yi came in, he saw this scene, stepped forward to help him up, and said distressedly: "I usually see you are very smart, but now you are so obedient."

As soon as he finished speaking, Bian Qi came out to salute and said, "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother invites you to go in and talk."

Fu Yi helped Shen Zhiqiu in, and when he saw the room full of people, he frowned, and greeted the Queen Mother: "Son, please greet the Queen Mother." The rest of the people also knelt down to greet Fu Yi.

"Get up," said the Queen Mother.

Fu Wei stood up, the queen mother looked up at Shen Zhiqiu, and said coldly: "The Ai family didn't ask him to get up."

Fu Yi stepped forward to salute again, and respectfully said to the queen mother: "Seeing that autumn is coming, the ground is very cold, and Yunyu just caught the wind and cold a few days ago. If you have anything to say, why don't you stand up and go back, and carefully hurt your body."

"You are afraid of hurting his body. How has he ever cherished your body, but just neglected him for a few days, and then resorted to this kind of low-handed means to fight for favor, kneel down!" The queen mother said angrily.

Shen Zhiqiu secretly shook his head at Fu Yi, knelt down to himself, Fu Yi's expression darkened, and he glanced at Lin Xuanshi who was sitting beside him, Lin Xuanshi didn't dare to look at him, and was so frightened that he pulled the handkerchief tightly , Fu Wei said to the queen mother: "The mother must have misunderstood, and the son has never used any nasty drugs."

"Whether it works or not, you will know once you try it." The queen mother said and gave Bian Qi a look. Bian Qi lifted the curtain and called the imperial doctor who had been waiting outside. The imperial doctor knelt down and greeted the nobles in the room , the queen mother said: "Take the emperor's pulse."

Wisps of smoke rose from the censer in Yongshou Palace, and the whole room was silent. Fu Yi looked at the sweating imperial doctor and said to the queen mother, "Is my son not aware of any medicine used? Why is he so big?" It's a waste of time."

The queen mother caressed the beads in her hand, and said slowly: "You always say that the Ai family has wronged your concubine, let the imperial doctor take a pulse, and it is up to the Ai family to decide whether it is wrong or not."

Fu Yi knew that he must have this pulse today, he hadn't figured out what was going on, he couldn't argue with the Queen Mother, he frowned, and stretched out his arm to the imperial doctor, the imperial doctor knelt down and answered the queen mother after a while: "Go back. Empress Dowager, judging from the pulse condition, the emperor should have taken yang-strengthening medicine not long ago."

The queen mother slammed the table, and everyone except Fu Yi knelt down, "Bold Mrs. Shen! So what else do you have to say!"

Before Shen Zhiqiu could speak, Fu Wei said, "Last night, it was Lin Xuan's birthday, and my dinner was served at Yongning Palace. If there is any problem, the queen mother can just ask Lin Xuan, why bother Yunyu."

Lin Xuan prostrated himself on the ground and said tremblingly, "My concubine... I have been wronged..."

The queen mother looked at Fu Lie, "If you want to defend him, you don't hesitate to drag others to convict him. Well, the Ai family has asked them one by one, and it is not considered that the Ai family has wronged him."

After finishing speaking, Bian Qi called the eunuch and concierge who came into the imperial dining room, and the two of them knelt down as soon as they entered, shaking like chaff, "Slaves send greetings to the queen mother and emperor, and to all masters and ladies."

"Speak." Bian Qi said.

The two trembled for a while, and one of them tremblingly said: "Yesterday...yesterday afternoon, it was...it was Mo Lan from Oasis Palace who came to the imperial dining room to look for a servant, and asked the servant to prepare deer blood wine for her. Although the imperial dining room has Venison, but never dared to use deer blood, but... but Miss Molan said it was ordered by their master, and she gave the slave a large amount of silver. The blood of the live deer I bought was given to her, slave... the slave deserves death!"

"You should be damned." The queen mother said, "Take it out and wait for it. Emperor, is this credible? The Ai family knows that you like him, and is willing to cover it up for him, but you have to think about your own dragon body."

The matter has come to this point, Fu Yi fully understands, starting from the dinner served by Lin Xuan last night, it is a trick, just to suppress Shen Zhiqiu, he does not need to pass on other witnesses at this time, he must insist on it , it was the deer blood wine prepared in Ganquan Palace, and Mr. Yunyu used it to compete for favor. The strange thing is that the queen mother clearly agreed with him to favor Shen Zhiqiu before, but for some reason it suddenly changed, but in any case, she cannot be allowed to punish Shen Zhiqiu like this.

"The queen mother acted vigorously and resolutely, but the son suggested to drink this deer blood wine. The queen mother punished the wrong person. Let's stop here. The son must pay attention to it in the future." Fu Yi admitted it.

The queen mother glared, "Stupid! The Ai family sees that you have been fascinated by this vixen, otherwise why did you come to this! He must be severely punished today, otherwise the harem will be messed up!"

Fu Yi's face sank completely, "The empress mother also punished her, and Yunyu is weak, so I will take it back today. If there is anything else to deal with, I will come to the empress mother to receive the punishment later."

After Fu Yi finished speaking, regardless of the Queen Mother Zhou's face, he helped Shen Zhiqiu up. Shen Zhiqiu knelt for too long, his legs were already numb, and he was able to stand still with the help of Fu Yi's hand. Fu Yi frowned, bent over and hugged him, Walked out of Yongshou Palace under the shocked eyes of everyone.

The queen mother was so angry that she almost fainted. Since the day when Fu Yi was raised, this was the first time he was so rude to her, and it was for a man. She squeezed the cup in her hand fiercely, her face was gloomy and terrifying.Bian Qi hurriedly waved his hand and ordered everyone in the room to go out. Lin Xuanshi was frightened half to death, and hurried back to Yongning Palace. No matter how stupid she was, she knew that Fu Wei would not let her go.

After everyone left, the room became quiet. The Empress Dowager Zhou was still sitting on the chair in the same posture as before, her knuckles were turning white, and Bian Qi stepped forward to comfort her anxiously, "Don't get angry, the Empress Dowager, you will hurt yourself!" body."

The Empress Dowager Zhou was silent for a long time before she slowly let go of the cup, closed her eyes, and sneered, "Very well, as you can see, the emperor really fell in love with a man."

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty may just find it fresh, and it will be fine after a while." Bian Qi said hesitantly.

"No," the Queen Mother said coldly, "The Ai family raised him since he was a child, and he has never seen him protect a person like this. What's more, the way he looked at Shen just now is not as simple as being greedy for novelty."

Bian Qi was slightly surprised, "Is this Shen Zhiqiu really capable?"

The Empress Dowager Zhou's tense body relaxed slowly, leaned back on the chair, and said with sharp eyes: "Go and reveal this to those civil servants and censors. The emperor of a dynasty can only favor a man, but he can't treat the advice of civil officials and censors as he pleases like this."

"Yes." Bian Qi was about to go out under the command, when the Empress Dowager Zhou stopped her, "Go to the House of Internal Affairs and give an order. Mrs. Shen has behaved badly and is not feeling well. It is not suitable to sleep during this time."

"Yes, servant girl will do it now."

After the border flag left, the Empress Dowager Zhou picked up the teacup. The tea in the cup was no longer warm, and the tea after brewing was slightly yellow, making people lose their appetite. The Empress Dowager Zhou frowned and put the teacup back hard. On the table.

Raising tigers is a problem, this time the Queen Mother Zhou has experienced it personally.

Fu Yi carried Shen Zhiqiu all the way back to Ganquan Palace, which attracted the shock of countless palace people. They all knelt with their backs and did not dare to take a closer look, but they still couldn't help but look sideways, thinking about the news that Mr. Yunyu fell out of favor. Sure enough, it is false.

Shen Zhiqiu's knees still hurt, and he was even more uncomfortable. He blushed and said to Fu Yi, "The emperor let the minister down, and the minister can walk by himself."

Fu Yi didn't say a word, and walked towards Ganquan Palace in silence, Jin Fu and a group of imperial servants also followed far behind, Shen Zhiqiu took a look at Fu Yi's face, and wisely didn't speak again.

After returning to Ganquan Palace, Chen Xiang, who had already received the news, had already prepared the ointment. Fu Yi took the ointment, dismissed the crowd, put Shen Zhiqiu on the low stool, squatted down, and opened his trouser legs.Shen Zhiqiu's knees were red and swollen, and the skin was torn in some places. Kneeling on such a gravel road for two hours would not get better.Feeling sore in Fu Yi's heart, he unscrewed the ointment, applied it lightly, and said softly, "Be patient."

Shen Zhiqiu was overwhelmed by the flattery, a majestic emperor actually squatted in front of him and did this kind of thing for him, he hurriedly stood up and said: "Just let Chen Xiang come, the emperor doesn't have to do this, I dare not accept it."

Fu Yi pushed him to sit down, looked up at him, "I came late today, it's my fault that I made you suffer."

Seeing him like this, Shen Zhiqiu remembered what happened last night again, stayed there and didn't dare to move, only avoiding Fu Yi's eyes, "Your Majesty, don't blame yourself, I want to thank you for your protection."

Fu Yi's eyes turned cold, "Maybe it was a trap from the Yongning Palace, or maybe Lin Xuanshi was used by others, anyway, this time I accidentally made a mistake and got you involved, the Queen Mother's goal is probably to suppress you."

"I know." Shen Zhiqiu said, "She has praised me for so long, and it's time to suppress her. Will the emperor continue to investigate this matter?"

Fu Lie said in a deep voice: "This matter has come to an end, and if the investigation continues, it will not be good for you and me. If it comes to the judge, I'm afraid it will be your fault again."

Shen Zhiqiu fell silent, Fu Yu's decision was right, now that the Queen Mother's power is eyeing her like a tiger, the previous court should not say anything unfavorable to Fu Yu, this matter may be a boudoir interest in ordinary people, but it would be lewd in an emperor.The ointment on his knee was slowly heating up, and there was a strong smell of medicine, Fu Yi applied the medicine on him, cleaned his hands, sat opposite Shen Zhiqiu, looked him up and down, and asked him: "Is there any discomfort on your body? "

There is one thing, but Shen Zhiqiu would not say it no matter what, he lightly pursed his thin lips, and said respectfully: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern, I'm fine now."

"Last night, I was not well. I felt a bit menglang. If you are not feeling well, you must send a doctor to come and take a look."

When Fu Yi said such words openly, Shen Zhiqiu almost choked to death with a sip of tea, he coughed a few times, his face flushed, Fu Yi patted his back for him, looked at his red ears, his heart moved slightly, Can't help but say: "Yunyu, we are now the closest people in the world, have you calmed down a few days ago?"

Fu Yi didn't say anything, Shen Zhiqiu almost couldn't remember what was on his mind a few days ago, when Fu Yi mentioned it, he remembered again, in his heart he had no choice but to accept his fate, Fu Yi was indeed too enthusiastic last night, but he himself And why not be addicted to it? Since I have paid for this person physically and mentally, it is a bit hypocritical to think about those stakes. Anyway, from the day of the draft, he is already his person. As for the future, we will talk about it later. Bar.

It's just that he is still a little sad when he thinks that he, a seven-foot man, will have to live a life of worrying about "fading love".

Shen Zhiqiu lowered his eyes, "I'm not angry with the emperor to accompany the empress, I'm angry with myself."

Fu Wei took his hand and rubbed it lightly on his palm, "I know, as a man, I really wronged you for asking you to be my concubine from now on, but Yunyu, I have never treated you as a concubine." , I hope you are my confidant and partner. I was born in an emperor's family, so many people come and go around me, and I have heard so much flattery since I was a child, but I have never felt at ease. Born is the supreme loneliness. But after meeting you, I finally feel that I am not so lonely, and I can always feel at ease by your side."

Shen Zhiqiu's heart trembled slightly, he felt the warmth of his palm, and said softly: "If I can't make the emperor feel at ease in the future, will the emperor let me out of the palace?"

"No." Fu Yi kissed his hand, "There won't be such a day."
