Chapter 157 Xu Zhaorong stays behind

Han Yulang watched the empress go to the inner hall, and his emotions could not be calmed down for a long time.

She originally thought that the empress was so favored by the emperor because of her family background as the daughter of the Dingbei Houfu, or her alluring beauty. Perhaps she should have known earlier that she would not be afraid of being humiliated because of her status as a woman. Someone who stood up, she was different from others from the beginning.

Courage, intelligence, and the meticulous heart to look at the overall situation are enough for her to sit firmly in the back seat.

"Shen Ting, go to the garden again for me." Si Ningchi entered the inner hall and turned to Shen Ting, "Follow General Han to investigate this matter together."

"Your Majesty, are you worried about General Han?" Shen Ting raised his eyes and asked Si Ningchi in a low voice.

"Although I intend to win over Han Yulang, I still can't completely trust her now." Si Ningchi lowered his eyes slightly and said, "The person who is protecting the emperor this time is Han Yulang's, so we must think deeply, if Han Yulang intends to murder her The heart is the most suspicious."

"I just plan a bit more, just in case." Si Ning Chi looked at Shen Ting and smiled slightly.

"Slave understands." Shen Ting bowed his head in response, turned around and left.

The imperial physicians in the hall had already bandaged the emperor's wounds, applied the medicine and packed up his things. Several concubines were still huddled together and refused to leave. Empress Dowager Cui was even arguing with Wang Chengxiang several times, trying to break into the bedroom to have a look at the emperor. .

Wang Chengxiang reasoned that the imperial physician had left a doctor's order, and the emperor had not yet woken up and needed to rest and see no one.

Empress Dowager Cui was relentless, and Wang Chengxiang was so quarreled that he raised his head and saw the Empress Empress who came back, as if seeing a savior, she hurriedly came forward and bowed to salute: "Empress Empress."

"Order the kitchen to prepare some soft, glutinous and easy-to-eat meals. The light ones will be delivered to the emperor when he wakes up." Si Ningchi looked at Wang Chengxiang with a flat tone and said, "The emperor's servants should all be trusted."

"All the maids and eunuchs who enter Chengming Palace must be searched, and the officials who eat, drink and drink must be arranged to test the poison one by one." Si Ningchi turned his head to look at Empress Dowager Cui and other concubines, slightly raised his lips and said with a smile: "The emperor is going out of the palace I don’t know how the news got out.”

"The empress dowager and all the younger sisters should go back to their own palace to stay. The emperor will have his own guards by his side." She looked at the empress dowager Cui and said with a smile: "Don't make trouble here, otherwise... "

"I have to think about it carefully, whether I have bad intentions."

"The emperor is unconscious. Ai's family is the empress dowager. She has the right to make decisions. How can you drive her away?" Empress Dowager Cui became anxious when she heard Si Ningchi's words.

"The Empress Dowager?" Si Ningchi smiled, looked up at her and said word by word: "The Empress Dowager wants to be the master, so first take over the authority of the sixth palace as the assistant of the empress dowager, and you, the empress dowager, too I know you are the Queen Mother."

"My palace is the empress, so where is it your turn to make decisions in such a huge harem?"

Si Ningchi raised his lips and smiled, blinked slightly and looked at Empress Dowager Cui and said, "Are you a fool?"

She said softly: "I want my concubine to call the imperial doctors back and give the empress dowager a good diagnosis and treatment."

Empress Dowager Cui: "..."

She immediately thought of the last time when Si Ningchi led someone to the Ci'an Palace to "diagnose" her, and immediately took two steps back, her expression was angry and somewhat frightened, this empress has always acted perversely, But it can be said and done.

"You, don't be arrogant." Empress Dowager Cui glared at Si Ningchi and said, "If the emperor can't wake up safely, you are the only one to ask."

"Let's go." Empress Dowager Cui left such a harsh word, turned around and left, looking at the pace of leaving, as if she was afraid that she would walk slowly and let the queen hold her there.

"Then, the concubine will also leave first." Concubine De wanted to leave a long time ago, but now seeing Si Ningchi's tone of voice, her heart was pounding, fearing that she would be involved in something, she immediately stepped forward to face Si Ningchi Fu Liao Fushen withdrew.

All the concubines left one after another, at this moment Si Ningchi called out: "Xu Zhaorong stay."

Xu Zhaorong, who was suddenly named, was stunned, and the other concubines turned their heads to look at Xu Zhaorong, knowing that Xu Zhaorong was under the protection of the empress, and now the empress is willing to let him serve the emperor?

How could she be so lucky!
That pair of eyes looked at Xu Zhaorong with a complicated expression, with all kinds of thoughts in his heart, he didn't dare to make a mistake in front of the queen at the moment, so he could only back down one after another with jealousy.

"Your Majesty..." Xu Zhaorong was a little apprehensive, and after everyone had left, she came forward and bowed down and said, "What's the matter, Empress?"

"You will stay at Chengming Palace to watch the night." Si Ningchi glanced at Xu Zhaorong, slightly bent his eyebrows and said with a smile: "It's not an easy opportunity to serve the emperor, so take advantage of it."

"Then empress, you..." Xu Zhaorong was a little startled, as if he didn't understand how the empress would give him such a great opportunity?

"Why should I ask for favor by serving the sick?" Si Ningchi's expression was light, his eyes fell on Xu Zhaorong and he bent his lips and smiled: "You just need to remember your duty, and remember that you are asking for the emperor's favor. Still the fame Ron."

"You know what to do and what not to do."

Xu Zhaorong's heart tightened and she quickly bowed her head. After all, she has been with the emperor for many years, and these words are still understandable.

The queen's words are to make her think clearly, don't think about the emperor's love and favor, as long as she abides by her duty, fame and honor, the empress will give it to her.

To put it bluntly, if she dared to use the queen's power to climb the emperor's bed, she would only die.

Xu Zhaorong secretly took a deep breath and lowered his eyes and replied: "I thank my mother for teaching me, I will always keep it in mind and never have any second thoughts."

Si Ningchi bent his lips and smiled, got up and went into the dormitory. Now he finally had time to take a good look at Zhao Zongheng. He was sleeping peacefully, and fell asleep with his eyes closed. This was the first time she had seriously looked at Zhao Zongheng's sleeping face.

Closing his dark eyes, it seemed that he also lost his majesty as an emperor, his brows were stretched and looked so handsome, the inexplicable handsomeness between his brows reminded Si Ningchi of his smile.

"You're so stupid, you can still hurt yourself." Si Ningchi muttered and cursed in a low voice, reached for the teacup on the table, dipped a handkerchief in water and wiped it on his chapped lips, so as to moisturize his lips lips so that they don’t dry out and bleed.

The lips that were gradually moistened under the moisture of the tea showed a bit of pink, which looked very delicious, Si Ningchi stared at it for a while, then bent down and kissed him on his lips.

This seemed to be the first time she took the initiative to kiss him, with a bit of distress and worry, and perhaps that love that could not be ignored.

It is undeniable that Zhao Zongheng touched her heart, and she can remember every detail of getting along with him in the blink of an eye without deliberately recalling it.
