Work overtime

Arriving at the Palace of Compassion and Ning, Li Beichen had just entered the inner hall when the Empress Dowager greeted him, holding hands and looking up and down.

"Last night, Ai's family personally cooked some of your favorite dishes. They sent someone to invite them, but they said that the emperor is not here. I'm afraid the emperor went to Wei Wang's wedding yesterday?"

There is a lot of blame in the words, but more of distress.

Li Beichen said with a smile: "You can't hide anything from your mother."

On the way, Xu Fuhai confessed to him frankly what the Empress Dowager caught him asking while she was in court.So after Li Beichen came, Wan didn't dare to cover it up.

"It scared Aijia to death. There was such a big thunder last night, and the lightning was so bright that it was scary. Xi Ronghua's cats also barked strangely all night. Hearing that, Aijia was upset. You are still here Outside. Ai’s family didn’t sleep well all night. I was relieved when I heard that you went to the morning court as normal today. Amitabha.”

The queen mother was angry, pinched the beads and turned them, and recited the Buddha's name a few more times.

Sighing, she said leisurely: "I heard that Mrs. Fugui also went last night. With her here, the Ai family will feel at ease."

Li Beichen asked calmly: "Why does the queen mother feel at ease with her here?"

I thought, maybe the queen mother has seen her martial arts and courage.

Not to mention the palace, even in the whole world, no matter men or women, there are few people who are as outstanding in martial arts, courage, wisdom, and strategy as her.

At that time, he had witnessed Jiang Yuebai's slash in the air, and then ordered someone to stuff his intestines back extremely calmly, and then she personally applied healing ointment to the wound.

This kind of calm and methodical mind shocked him far more than killing people.

The queen mother led Li Beichen to sit down, with green snacks on the table, "Ai's family made it with their own hands. Try it."

"Mother, don't be too tired. If you want to eat, tell the cooks to do it. The son will find a cook for the mother who specializes in making dim sum."

Li Beichen picked up a piece of mung bean cake, with delicate lines printed on the surface, and the inside was rich and fine bean paste filling, sweet but not greasy, it still tasted like when I was a child, "It's delicious."

"You can eat a few more yuan if it tastes delicious," the queen mother said with a smile. There is a certain reason. Before she became a concubine, with her by your side, the emperor, wouldn't you be able to keep safe."

Because you are not safe, how did she become a concubine step by step?There are still seven or eight levels.

Li Beichen naturally understood the meaning of it, and said lightly: "This kind of thing happens if you believe it, and it doesn't happen if you don't believe it. Why can't I keep her safe?"

He is not like many emperors who are superstitious about astrology, and he believes that he is the sky.

But I am not opposed to using celestial phenomena and auspicious signs to create momentum.

Like the lightning strike last night.Li Beichen ordered people to combine assassination and anti-corruption in the capital last night to create public opinion favorable to him.

"Look at you," the queen mother smiled and shook her head, twirling the beads, "you have always wanted to be strong from the bottom of your heart since you were a child, and you have to fight for everything. Of course, the emperor is safe, and the people of the world are safe. But the emperor also said, If you believe it, you have it, if you don’t believe it, you don’t have it. Wouldn’t it be better to have someone with good skills to protect the emperor personally?”

"En." Li Beichen responded lightly.

The Empress Dowager looked at Li Beichen, knowing that her son was Mo Ruomu, and asked teasingly: "You used to be very interested in her. What's the matter now? Did you get tired of watching her kill yesterday?"

So the queen mother is still the queen mother, and the only one who dares to be so sharp with the emperor is the mother.

"Aijia knows what you're thinking, but you have to think about it, she's for the royal family, for you," the queen mother withdrew her smile, and raised her eyebrows, "It's okay to be cold. Fugui's current status has become It is not appropriate to be promoted in a short period of time if you are the tallest among the newcomers. It is time to promote other people."

She has no power and power, and she has a silly younger sister by her side. She is doing everything possible to climb up, how could she murder you, silly son.

Li Beichen still had the original respectful expression, neither happy nor sad, so he replied lightly: "What the mother said is true."

What the queen mother said, he had already figured it out when he held Jinxiu at night.It is impossible for Jiang Yuebai to kill him.

But you can't tell the Queen Mother directly, Jiang Yuebai doesn't want to make me angry by giving birth to me.

The queen mother knew that this was because the emperor didn't want to talk, so she closed her eyes and said softly:

"The night before yesterday, oh, no, now it's the night before yesterday. If the assassins hadn't entered the Ai family, they wouldn't have disturbed you and the concubine. The Ai family prepared some dishes. In the evening, you come to eat, and the concubine will also come .Taste the craftsmanship of Aijia."

Concubine He and the Ai family have done this and tried their best, the rest is up to you.

Li Beichen knew what the queen mother was thinking and what the concubine was thinking. He nodded and responded respectfully: "It's been a long time since I had a meal cooked by my mother. I will definitely come tonight."

"Okay," said the queen mother with a kind face, very happy in her heart.

In fact, she also prepared warm wine.In the evening, add Buddha jumping over the wall, venison, etc., to nourish yin, tonify kidney and strengthen yang.

Li Beichen remembered the oolong in the middle of the night a few days ago, "Did Xi Ronghua's cat catch the mouse in the mother's harem?"

The queen mother was silent for a long time before she said, "I caught two of them. Amitabha. Those two cats like to scurry around and get into the bed. There are cat hairs everywhere. They always bark at night, making Aijia unable to sleep. No I know why Xi Ronghua likes cats."

"Where is the cat now?"

"I was locked up in a room in the side hall by Ai's family. The mother is still pregnant with a cub." The Queen Mother said with some annoyance.

At the beginning, the cat was borrowed to catch mice, but now the cat is making a fuss, and Xi Ronghua is pregnant and it is difficult to send it back.The cat is not only Xi Ronghua's treasure, but also pregnant, so it is not good to be executed rashly.

The queen mother was embarrassed and very unhappy.

"Mother, don't worry. My son will find a solution." Li Beichen said warmly.

After going out, the bauhinia flowers at the door were swaying in the wind. Li Beichen was quite moved when he thought of what Lao Liu said to him at the door the day before yesterday.

Yesterday, he also witnessed the sixth son's sense of responsibility towards Shen Shixi and his sense of proportion towards Jiang Yuebai.As well as Jiang Yuebai's sense of proportion, they are all in place.

Almost relieved.

The sixth child is happy. As an elder brother, he is happy from the bottom of his heart.

Neither Lao Liu nor Jiang Yuebai knew how severe the test they had passed last night.As long as there is something inappropriate, Li Beichen will crazily deduct points for Jiang Yuebai today.

Hearing the meowing of cats faintly coming from the side hall, Li Beichen was also in trouble.

On the way back to Qinzheng Hall, Li Beichen casually asked Jiang Yuebai about his condition.Xu Fuhai knew that the emperor's seemingly casual question was actually mixed with many small emotions.

Immediately replied: "Yesterday, according to the emperor's order, Jiang Tai doctor was invited to see him. Jiang Tai doctor said that he was too worried and frightened. He was too exhausted and overworked during menstruation yesterday. Now he is deficient in both Qi and blood. Rest for ten days and half a month to recover."

Another ten days and half a month of rest?Last night, I tried my best to kill so many desperate assassins, can I not exhaust myself and overwork?
Thinking of the unconscious queen, Li Beichen asked again: "Where is the queen? Who is taking care of her? Has Dr. Jiang visited?"

"Going back to the emperor, the old doctor Jiang visited the queen yesterday and today. He took silver needles and took two sets of medicine. I heard that the poison was temporarily suppressed to prevent it from invading the heart and lungs. The person who took care of her was still the one who served the queen before." , Yuhe and Yumei, faithfully."

"Loyalty is not enough. The queen now needs someone to take care of her." Li Beichen thought for a while and said, "Go to Jiang Yu and ask them to recommend two people who know how to take care of patients to serve first. The money will come from my private treasury."

"promise."

Just about to get up the sedan chair and continue to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Li Beichen called Xu Fuhai to stop, "Go to Kunning Palace to see the queen. Then send someone to Jingren Palace to inform Concubine He that she will be in bed tonight. Don't worry her .”

"No. The old slave will send someone to do it right away." After saying that, Xu Fuhai sent Wei Jing, the little eunuch beside him, to Jingren Palace.

Li Beichen thought for a while and asked again: "How is Zhen Wanyi's side? Has the imperial physician visited these days?"

For so many years, he was used to calling Zhen Wanyi, and he couldn't change his words for a while.

But Xu Fuhai didn't dare to make a mistake, and immediately replied: "Ms. Xi Ronghua's side was visited by Imperial Physician Jiang yesterday. I heard that she vomited so badly that she couldn't eat. Imperial Physician Jiang prescribed some food supplements."

There can be no mistakes in these things.

Li Beichen lowered his eyes slightly: "From now on, I will report their situation to me every day, don't wait for me to ask."

Word by word, the tone is a bit heavy.

Xu Fuhai immediately agreed.Wanting to be in front of the emperor in everything is the correct way to open up a good slave.

Three important women, but the emperor was the first to ask Mr. Fugui.

Xu Fuhai could see this subtle thought even before the emperor himself realized it.

No, even earlier.When Li Beichen arranged two hidden guards to monitor Taorui Palace, he noticed it.

Temptation is not the same as lust after all, nor is it the same as responsibility.

When you are tempted, you are tempted.

No matter how duplicity the emperor says at this time, he can't be careless.If they didn't do well, looking back, it was all the fault of their slaves.

Xu Fuhai had some plans in his heart, but the smile remained unchanged on his face.

"How is Jingren Palace today? Nothing happened to them in the morning meeting, right?" Li Beichen thought of Jinxiu, who was begging for mercy at night, "Jiang Chang is here, I have spared her greetings. Have you gone?"

Xu Fuhai looked distressed: "Over there at Jingren Palace"
