Step on a branch

Chapter 147 Control
After receiving the news, Liu Zhaorong hurriedly came out to meet the emperor.

Seeing the emperor's face full of clouds, Liu Zhaorong couldn't help being startled, and his smile froze.

But she quickly adjusted and said with a smile: "The concubine was practicing calligraphy just now, can the emperor give me some pointers?"

The emperor lowered his eyes and looked down at Liu Zhaorong.

Liu Zhaorong looks very good.

In the harem full of beauties, her facial features are still outstanding.

However, women will grow old.

No matter how amazing you are when you are young, and how much you pay attention to recuperation on weekdays, the years will still leave traces mercilessly on a woman's face.

The emperor frowned, trying to find these traces on Liu Zhaorong's face.

In fact, he couldn't remember what Liu Zhaorong was like a year ago.

As Concubine Shu said, Liu Zhaorong has been out of favor for many years, how could the emperor care about the complexion of a woman who is no longer loved?
A few months ago, Liu Zhaorong came into his sight again.

Mature in her gorgeousness, she was even better than her impression when she was young, which made the emperor think about her again.

He seemed to have felt that this woman was not old at all.

Ah……

The emperor thought of Concubine Shu.

Concubine Shu of the same age, who was as beautiful as Concubine Shu when she was young, now, she has wrinkles around her eyes, and her complexion is very ordinary.

That's what a woman of her age, who has been out of favor for many years, looks like.

And Liu Zhaorong in front of him...

"You..." Liu Zhaorong felt terrified at the sight of the emperor, but she didn't dare to avoid the emperor's gaze, so she could only smile and say, "It's embarrassing for you to look at my concubine like that."

The emperor withdrew his gaze and walked into the hall.

On the desk, there is a copybook that Liu Zhaorong is practicing.

The emperor stepped forward and took a look.

What she practiced was Master Gu's copybook from the previous dynasty, which he also learned from Taifu Xu since he was a child.

Master Gu's writing is easy to get the shape, but difficult to get the context. Taifu Xu has studied for many years and given daily instructions, so the emperor can master some spirit at such an age, but Liu Zhaorong's writing lacks so much meaning.

"Here..." Subconsciously, the emperor wanted to give some pointers, but when the words came to his lips, he stopped again, paused, and said, "How are you practicing, why do you ask me?"

"You are good at this word," Liu Zhaorong replied, "The emperor can give some advice to my concubines, which will be of great help to my concubines, and my concubines believe in you..."

"Okay." The emperor interrupted Liu Zhaorong's words.

Play chess, write.

Liu Zhaorong was not the only one he pointed out.

Each of them, after being instructed, praised him, and among them, Liu Zhaorong's flattery satisfied the emperor the most.

Whether that kind of worship or admiration, it makes people feel comfortable.

Knowing that there were exaggerations in it, the emperor never cared about it. In the harem, his women would flatter him and flatter him, which was reasonable.

Whether it's true or false, whether it's a good performance or a failure, he sees it all, and he judges whether it's good or bad.

But, until I saw those few pills...

Concubine Shu pleaded guilty so sincerely, but in fact, the emperor didn't care about her crimes.

Can these pills affect his health?
Bring bad influence to the harem?

Will Xi Zuo use pills to harm people?
The emperor doesn't believe in these things, and doesn't care.

What really made him angry was "control".

He was played around by concubine Shun and Liu Zhaorong.

It seems that they acted well, judged by him, stand out, in fact, he was controlled by those so-called likes and preferences of those pills?
"What is this?" The emperor threw the porcelain bottle on the desk.

When Liu Zhaorong saw the bottle, her eyes tightened, she picked it up and opened it, the pills poured out, her shoulders trembled uncontrollably.

"This..." Liu Zhaorong suddenly understood why the emperor was so angry, she murmured, "Concubine Shu..."

There is only Concubine Shu.

Concubine Shun has been taking medication all year round, and she is even more afraid that the emperor will find out about it.

Only Concubine Shu forced her to hand over the medicine, and sold her and Concubine Shun together.

so cruel...

There is no woman who can secure the position of fourth concubine without a son and a half daughter, it is really too cruel.

"Explain well." The emperor said.

"Chenqie," Liu Zhaorong had no choice but to say, "This concubine wants to be loved by the emperor so much, so she will be obsessed with ghosts. Knowing that there is such a pill, I...was skeptical at first, but after taking it, my complexion really improved a lot. The emperor is also willing to come to my concubine... Concubine Shu also wants it, and this concubine has to give it to her... Concubine, concubine likes the emperor so much..."

The emperor watched Liu Zhaorong cry coldly.

Whether he likes it or not, it enters in his left ear and exits in his right ear.

What remains in my mind is "the emperor is willing to come".

His actions, his love, can be controlled by such a pill!

It's ridiculous!

Impatient to listen to Liu Zhaorong crying, the emperor flicked his sleeves and walked outside.

Liu Zhaorong wanted to keep him, but didn't dare, so he could only chase after him and send him out, expressing his sincerity in every word.

When Eunuch Xu saw that the emperor was leaving so soon, and the anger became more and more obvious, his head suddenly ached.

Why didn't Liu Zhaorong persuade the emperor?

When the emperor returns to the imperial study, isn't he the one who is unlucky?
In the imperial study room, Deng Guoshi was still kneeling.

Kneeling didn't take him much effort, and it wasn't difficult, but it was a good deal for the emperor to see his loyalty.

However, Deng Guoshi did not expect that the emperor left in a hurry and came back in a hurry, and his anger seemed to be even greater.

Deng Guoshi's heart skipped a beat.

Where is the emperor?

Didn't any of those idiots make the emperor lose his temper and vent his anger?

The emperor sat down on the back of the chair and asked, "What did you put in the pills you gave Concubine Shun?"

Deng Guoshi looked up in astonishment.

Concubine Shun took the initiative to confess?
impossible!

What went wrong?

Deng Guoshi's back was sweating, and seeing the emperor staring at him, he could only say: "It's made from medicinal materials that calm the mind and calm the mind."

"Can make people stay young forever?" The emperor asked, "What did you add?"

Guoshi Deng felt guilty, and after thinking about it, he thought of the reason Qin Luan had used before, and he said: "The prescription handed down by the master can indeed make people glow, and it won't hurt the body. It only works for women. Men take it. It's useless."

"Give it to Concubine Shun all these years?" The emperor asked again, "What benefits did she give you?"

"Poverty Dao," Deng Guoshi trembled, "Poverty Daoism has never..."

The emperor's gaze contained a knife: "Master, have you and Concubine Shun both forgotten that no matter how useful the medicine is, if I am not satisfied, it will be useless."

Deng Guoshi clenched his hands into fists and buried his head low.

Of course he didn't forget.

Concubine Shun, who is favored by the emperor, is Concubine Shun. Otherwise, she is not much different from other concubines in the palace. Although she has an extra son, she is not the only concubine who can give birth to a prince.

Deng Guoshi is a national teacher who has the trust of the emperor. Once he loses the protection of the emperor, many people want to tear him apart.

It is his strength to be able to guess the emperor's will, but he is not the only one who has the ability.

The emperor said word by word, "Your ministers, your ministers, don't always do things that make me unhappy."

　I took a B-ultrasound, and my thyroid nodules are bigger than before. I will go for another test in a few days, and let the doctor decide whether to continue to observe, or just to have a knife...
