Empress work daily

Chapter 134
On the way to the Hall of Mercy, the further Ji Qiang walked, the more vain his footsteps became.

So much so that when she reached the gate of the Hall of Compassion, a thin layer of sweat broke out on her forehead.

"It's getting hotter and hotter." She wiped her sweat with a handkerchief and covered it up.

Shang Liujia agreed quite naturally, and went to knock on the door, feeling strange that in the past, the door of the Hall of Mercy was always open.

Wu Nian opened the door, and he told Ji Qiang that Shang Xuan left the palace yesterday evening to pray for blessings at the Great Mercy Temple, but has not returned yet.

Ji Qiang began to think that he heard it wrong. For example, he didn't tell her about leaving the palace to go to the Great Mercy Temple. So, how did he leave the palace?
Wu Nian said again: "The Holy Monarch has a sign in his hand, and he can enter and leave the palace at will. The Holy Monarch said that His Majesty is always in charge of everything, such as such trivial matters as entering and leaving the palace, it is better not to bother His Majesty."

Ji Qiang: "..."

Shang Liujia saw that Ji Qiang's expression was not right, and he really wanted to hit Wu Nian's elm head with a stick.

"It's a big deal for the sage to go out of the palace, how could it be a trivial matter? Why didn't you report back to His Majesty immediately?" Shang Liujia stared at him, but he frightened Wu Nian, who was calm and breezy, and he cried bitterly The face replied softly, "The Holy King didn't let the servants bother His Majesty, and ordered the servants to close the door of the Hall of Mercy immediately after he left, and it will not be opened until two days later."

Hearing this, Shang Liujia also realized that Shang Shengjun's so-called going out of the palace to pray for blessings might not be that simple. After thinking about it, he asked again: "When Shengjun left, did you bring anything?"

"Two sets of clothes for washing, his usual Buddhist bead bracelets, and some scattered silver."

Scattered silver?Ji Qiang felt a "thud" in his heart, he went to the Mercy Temple to pray for blessings, what did he want to do with the broken silver?
Ji Qiang immediately ordered people to go to the Great Mercy Temple, while he went straight into the Hall of Mercy.

The hall is as clean and bright as ever, and the huge space is not filled with extra decorations, making it seem particularly empty.

Ji Qiang glanced around and felt a coldness that she had never felt before.

Zhao Gan, who was going to the Great Mercy Temple, couldn't come back for a while, and Huang Chang, who was going to Xuanwu Gate, came back soon and reported the news to Ji Qiang.

"Your Majesty, the Holy Monarch left the Xuanwu Gate yesterday evening. He was holding the token of the late emperor. The guards said that the Holy Monarch would not let them talk, and that he had already asked for your consent... ..."

"Are those Habayashis all fools? If he really has my consent, why does he need to hold the token of the late emperor?"

Ji Qiang's voice was extremely cold, and Huang Chang and others were terrified when they heard it.

However, Ji Qiang did not order to punish the soldiers of the Xuanwu Sect. She knew very well in her heart that Shang Yao was holding the token of the late emperor, no matter what order he gave, the soldiers had to obey.

About an hour later, Zhao Qian came back sweating profusely.

As Ji Qiang expected, Shang Xuan didn't go to the Great Mercy Temple at all. The so-called praying for blessings was just a complete cover.

Only then did Shang Liujia and the others feel that the matter was serious, and they were so flustered that they could hardly breathe.

Ji Qiang remained calm and smiled inwardly.She just said such a reasonable sentence, and he who secretly hid behind the screen wall listened to her halfway, so it was worth being so angry?

Before she said that, she didn't know that he was hiding behind the screen wall. If she knew, how could she ignore his mood?

He can't stand just one sentence, what about her?
These 15 years of false appearances, 15 years of being wrong, being absurd, and being alienated... How should she bear it?

Later, didn't she let go of the young children of King Yong's family?Why did he spare those children, didn't he know?

She asked herself that she was not soft-hearted, not to mention that as the king of a country, what he said was contradictory, just to take into account his mood, wouldn't he understand?
Chopping the grass does not remove the roots, but the spring breeze blows and regenerates.

Oh, isn't she the new shoot from the uncut grass?
If you want to talk about it in detail, she even arranged it for herself at the time... She didn't care, so why is he so angry!
Ji Qiang made several swallowing movements in a row, trying to swallow everything silently, then got up without saying a word, ready to go back to Yangyuan Hall.

"Your Majesty..." Ling Lu wanted to say, before Shang Shengjun went far, there was still time to chase her.

However, as soon as he called out "Your Majesty", Shang Liujia stepped on him hard, Ling Lu frowned in pain, facing Ji Qiang's fierce brows, he had to continue "making up", suddenly, he had an idea With a movement, he pointed to the bamboo tube on the small case and said, "Sheng Jun, an old man, has made new tea again."

Ji Qiang didn't argue with him.

At this time, Wu Nian held up the bamboo tube and said to Ji Qiang: "My servant almost forgot, before the Holy King left, I told my servant to hand over this bamboo tube to you."

Shang Liujia immediately thought that there might be a lot of articles in this bamboo tube.

He quickly took it and opened the lid. There was no tea in it, but a white note.

Shang Liujia quickly knocked out the note again and handed it to Ji Qiang. Ji Qiang glanced at it woodenly, and it read:

"Your Majesty, the biggest wish of my life is to travel around the world one day. Now, the war in the northern border is stable, the western border is closed, and the south county has Polygonum, the King of Southern Dian. If he loses to Wu Yue, there will be Zhennanhou behind him to help."

"The most important thing is that your majesty has a huge fortune. After the King Yong's family is eradicated, your majesty will get another fortune, and there are three more mines. Your majesty must remember that from now on, all things related to the lifeblood of Daliang, such as salt, iron, and gold , must be firmly held in the hand.”

"With this money, His Majesty's grand plans and great undertakings will be realized one by one. I will leave without worrying about my future."

"Farewell, Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live long live!"

Signed: Xiao Qiang.

Ji Qiang stared at the signature line, smiling palely.

It's so cool, he left as soon as he said, and he was so righteous and self-righteous.

So, he thinks giving money is enough.

It's good, he never appeared in the first 15 years, and he doesn't have to reappear for the rest of his life.

The original is not an important person.

Ji Qiang was silent, clutching the note tightly in his hand, and went back to Yangyuan Hall without saying a word.

……

For the next two days, all those serving in Yangyuan Hall walked carefully.

No matter what Ji Qiang did, she was always quiet, but it was this unusual quietness that involuntarily formed a thick layer of ice around her body. Whenever she got close, she would immediately feel a chill through her heart.

The season is obviously already flying into April.

"Your Majesty, Wang Shengjun asks to see you."

After Linglu reported several times, Ji Qiang slowly raised his head and dropped his pen.

Not long after, Wang Shengjun was led in.

I haven't seen him for a long time, but he has grown a lot, and he is quite graceful.The person is also clean and refreshing, with three thousand white hairs tied up meticulously, perhaps to stand out, he specially put on a lavender crystal hairpin, which makes people's eyes shine.

Ji Qiang waived his courtesy as usual, the monarch and his subjects sat down in front of the small case, and served tea with the two maids in green.

Wang Shengjun nodded with a smile from time to time, and sometimes leaned closer to smell the rich tea fragrance, but he was completely gone from the restraint he used to have.
