Why did the emperor rebel?

Chapter 267 I Believe

The winter night in the capital is very cool, and the night is very good.

In the corridor, a gust of cold wind blew past, making Zhu Qiyu calm down.

He was too angry just now because he was worried about Brother Ji, so that he was a little reckless.

At this hour, according to Wu's habit, they should have already rested.

He wanted to stop the servant who was going forward, but found that Luanjia had already arrived not far from Jingyang Palace.

Zhu Qiyu took a look and saw that Jingyang Palace was still brightly lit.

When he got closer, he realized that Qing Zhu had already brought a few servants and was waiting at the gate of the palace.

Qingzhu was wearing a formal gown with narrow sleeves, she didn't look like she had rested at all.

Seeing Luanjia stop, Qingzhu bowed her knees to salute Zhu Qiyu with a smile.

"Slave and maid greet the emperor."

Zhu Qiyu got down from Luanjia, the original dissatisfaction in his heart had already dissipated, he looked inside with his probe, and asked with a guilty conscience.

"Aunt Qingzhu, why is it so late, and the concubine mother hasn't rested yet?"

Qingzhu turned her body sideways, raised her empty hand, and said respectfully.

"The empress dowager knew that you would come, so she waited for you specially. The emperor will come in with the slaves."

After finishing speaking, Qingzhu bowed her body and walked towards Jingyang Palace.

Zhu Qiyu had no choice but to follow.

He is certainly angry about Hang's incident, but he still has a sense of proportion.

Now that Mrs. Wang will take care of her body, Mrs. Wu is in charge of the Sixth Palace. Now that her old man has dealt with it, Zhu Qiyu will not go to Mrs. Hang's palace to lose her temper again.

What made him angry was that Mrs. Wu actually hid such a big matter from him.

Not only did she hide it from herself, but she also didn't allow Xing'an to report it.

So he came here with a hint of asking questions.

But I don't know why, when he really arrived at the gate of the palace, seeing Wu's formation waiting for him to come, he felt a little guilty and dared not go in.

But it's all here, and it's impossible to go back. After thinking about it, he still took two quick steps to keep up with Qing Zhu's pace.

As for Jingyang Palace, Zhu Qiyu was already familiar with it, and when he entered the Nuan Pavilion, the cold air all over his body suddenly dissipated a lot.

Sure enough, Mrs. Wu did not rest, but she was not as neatly dressed as she was during the day.

Wearing a dark blue Juyi with tufted wind patterns, she is sitting on the couch, holding a scroll of Buddhist scriptures in her left hand and twisting a string of beads in her right hand.

Seeing Zhu Qiyu push the door in, Wu put down the Buddhist scriptures in his hand and said with a smile.

"The emperor is here, sit down."

In fact, there was no need for Mrs. Wu's orders. When Zhu Qiyu first entered the door, Qingzhu had already ordered someone to move a pier over, and was busy preparing refreshments.

Seeing Wu's eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, Zhu Qiyu was a little embarrassed, and said.

"It's so late, disturbing the mother and concubine's rest, it is the son who didn't think carefully, and the son apologized to the mother and concubine."

Wu Shi glanced at him, but there was no unexpected reaction, and said lightly.

"When Xing'an was called away from Jingyang Palace, the Ai family knew that you would definitely come here. He has been with you for so long, and there is something false in his mouth, how can he hide it from you."

Xing'an on the side shrank his neck, his face full of tears.

Niang Niang, you knew that you couldn't hide it, and you strictly told him not to tell...

Seeing that Mrs. Wu took the initiative to bring up this matter, Zhu Qiyu accepted it and said.

"Concubine Mu, what the Hang family did this time is indeed too late. Brother Ji is only less than two years old. As a mother, how can she torment her child like this? I get angry when I think about it."

"You too, why don't you send someone to tell me about such a big matter. When I went to see Brother Ji today, my face was still red..."

Although he was a little guilty before coming in, Zhu Qiyu couldn't help being angry when he really mentioned this matter, and there was a trace of complaint in his tone.

Wu Shi restrained her face, still twisting the Buddhist beads in her hand, glanced at him lightly, and said.

"So what if I told you, can you put her, a concubine, in the cold palace because of such a small matter?"

Zhu Qiyu was choked by this sentence and didn't know how to continue.

Indeed, even if he knew, he couldn't really make a big move.

After all, the Hang family followed his concubine when he was in the residence, and after ascending the throne, he was promoted to the imperial concubine and had the golden seal treasure book in hand.

Don't say that such a trivial matter can't abolish her, even if the punishment is heavy, it must be well-known.

But what the Hang family did is really unspeakable.

It cannot be said that in order to fight for favor, the imperial concubine in the palace made her own son, who is also the emperor's only son, sick.

It's embarrassing to say it!

With a soft snort, Zhu Qiyu took the teacup Qingzhu sent up, took a sip, and said in a muffled voice.

"Even so, the mother concubine shouldn't keep it from me, at least let me know what's going on."

Wu-shi leaned back on the couch again, and said.

"The Ai family knows that you feel sorry for Brother Ji, but there are too many things like this in the harem. It is true that Mrs. Hang did something reckless this time, but it was just an accident. The imperial doctor said, take good care of it, nothing serious."

"Don't forget, Brother Ji is also her only son. In terms of distress, she is no worse than you. The Ai family doesn't tell you because they are afraid that you will make a fuss."

As she said, Wu Shi glanced at her son who was still humming, and sighed in her heart.

Although it was said last time, Zhu Qiyu promised her that he would not be tempted by the prince's position.

But how could she not see that her son always pays more attention to matters involving Brother Ji.

Although Brother Ji is the eldest son, in Wu's view, Zhu Qiyu is still young, so don't worry too much about the heirs, there will always be in the future.

He cared so much about Brother Ji, which always made Wu Shi feel a little uneasy, always worrying that when his footing was unstable, he would be tempted by Donggong.

Therefore, Mrs. Wu didn't want him to make too much fuss about this matter, so she asked Xing'an to conceal the inside story of this matter, and only reported that Brother Ji was weak and accidentally caught a cold.

But she also knew that with Zhu Qiyu's concern for Brother Ji, such a sudden illness must be investigated.

Therefore, when Xing'an was called away, she knew that this scene would happen.

And, on top of that, she had another layer of worry.

After pondering for a moment, the bead in Wu's hand moved a little faster, and said softly.

"A while ago, you said that it is a good thing that the harem will have a code system."

"Since it is decided, there must be rules. After the year of the draft, there will be a group of newcomers in the palace. The method of competing for favor and position is nothing new."

"The so-called man dominates the outside and the woman dominates the inside. You are the emperor, and you have the final say on the government affairs of the outer court, but in the internal affairs of this palace, even though you are the emperor, you can't meddle indiscriminately."

"Otherwise, your code has been formulated, it is better to be indeterminate!"

Facing Wu's words with a hint of reprimand, Zhu Qiyu was not angry, but nodded slightly.

Although he was very angry today, he didn't lose his temper at Hang's again. Instead, he came to Jingyang Palace for this reason.

It's not that he, the emperor, can't manage the affairs of the harem, but that there are no rules.

Most of his energy, after all, is in the outer court.

Therefore, he often doesn't know enough about many things in the harem, and if he intervenes rashly, sometimes it will have counterproductive effects.

However, what he didn't understand was why did Mrs. Wu suddenly tell him this so seriously?

Seemingly understanding Zhu Qiyu's thoughts, Wu shook his head and said.

"Brother Yu, you have to know that the Ai family is only in charge of the harem now. After a while, Yunniang's body will recover, and the harem will still be taken care of by her."

"Here in Ai's house, you always have some scruples and don't dare to be presumptuous, but today's matter, if Yunniang is changed, can you guarantee that there will be no rift between you?"

Zhu Qiyu's face was a little ugly, he understood what Wu Shi meant.

Not only does he understand, he also has a deep understanding!
In the previous life, the reason why he and the Wang family drifted apart was this.

The Wang family is the lord of the six palaces, and the affairs of the harem are complicated and chaotic, and it is not easy to deal with them, and sometimes they are not thoughtful.

Sometimes when dealing with things, the interests of some people in the palace are hurt, and they will naturally think of ways to blow the wind in front of themselves, the emperor.

At the beginning, he could patiently listen to Wang's explanation of the ins and outs of every incident.

But the further he went, the easier it was for him to believe one side of the story.

Wu Shi made it very clear that today's matter was handled by her, even if Zhu Qiyu was angry again, he would not dare to act presumptuously in front of her.

But if it was Wang's, she would not be able to restrain herself from being angry.

Entering Kunning Palace with anger, no matter who is right or who is wrong, or if there is any secret hidden in the middle, there is bound to be a fight first.

Maybe, under the guidance of caring people, he would still feel that it was Wang who secretly manipulated and planted the blame on Hang.

Many times, feelings are gradually worn away in these quarrels.

After thinking about this, Zhu Qiyu got up and said solemnly.

"My concubine's lesson is that my son understands that in the future, Yunniang will be in charge of the Sixth Palace, and I will not question her decision at will, let alone interfere in the affairs of the harem by crossing her."

Only then did Wu feel relieved, a smile appeared on his face.

However, what Zhu Qiyu said next made her a little dumbfounded.

I saw my son blinked and said again.

"However, my son also believes, just like I believe in Yunniang, Yunniang will also believe in me."

After these days, Zhu Qiyu believes that he has given Wang a sense of security.

This sense of security does not lie in the length of time, but in the trust and feeling between two people.

Zhu Qiyu knew that Wang would not harm him, and everything she did was for him.

Wang also knew in her heart that Zhu Qiyu would not doubt her casually, so...

Zhu Qiyu straightened up, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, looking at Wu Shidao.

"Just now, you made a mistake in saying one sentence. That is today's matter. If Yunniang is to deal with it, she will definitely tell me the truth, because she knows that no matter what the truth is, I will believe her."

　I always feel a bit tasteful and didn’t write it out, but my writing skills are limited, so I can only do this (へ╬)
　　Thank you for my reward of 70000 starting coins for Li Ge Da Ge, who is also the second leader of this book, thank you, thank you very much, and thank you friends who have been rewarding and supporting me recently.

　　The latest update is really not good enough, I want to say sorry to everyone.

　　The reason is that I have been on a business trip since the beginning of the month, running around, and it is expected to go back around the end of the month, so I can only barely maintain the normal update, and I did not dare to ask for a reward or a monthly pass for this update.

　　Because there is no manuscript in hand, I still can't go back to other places for the past two days, so the leader of the boss, Jiageng, can only owe a debt first, make it up later, and bow.
