Book with Emperor

Chapter 240
Qin Guanyue really didn't intend to take care of this matter, and even reported illness to the palace in advance.She was already seriously ill, and it was normal to report her illness. Ning Zhao didn't say much, but sent someone to send another batch of precious medicinal materials. Qin Guanyue collected them all, and asked Miao Miao to stew them that day. Eat it every day, after all, who doesn't want to live an extra day?

Zhenweihou is indeed an old Jianghu, he knows more about the court than the old Houye, he escorted his son to the palace to plead guilty in advance, and the princess also went to Ning Zhao to cry, but in the end Ning Zhao didn't What about Han Zhengwei? Instead, he reprimanded the prince bitterly, saying that if he can't even manage the back house, how can he manage a country well?
This sentence frightened the prince so much that his face turned pale. As soon as he left the palace, he came to the Emperor's Mansion with generous gifts, but he was told that the Emperor's old illness had relapsed and he was bedridden and unable to see guests.The prince had no choice but to go back with a pale face, but Li stayed behind.

Qin Guanyue leaned on the soft bed, watched Miaomiao lighting those priceless gifts one by one, and slowly drank the medicine on the table.

Miaomiao looked back and said distressedly, "My lord, why didn't you eat candied fruit? That medicine was newly developed by Miss Lan, and it is said that it is much more bitter than the previous one!"

Qin Guanyue smiled, and put a sweet and sour pine nut candy into her mouth, "Fortunately, it's not that bitter."

Miaomiao naturally didn't believe it, she curled her lips and said, "Your Excellency is teasing me again, Miss Lan said that the medicine is so bitter that even she can't stand it, and she specially asked me to bring more candied fruit."

Qin Guanyue paused, picked up another sour plum, put it into his mouth, and tasted it slowly.

Miaomiao on the side was helpless, thinking that the plums were also sour, how could she swallow them in one gulp.

The matter of beating the prince seemed to be over like that, just like a farce of the prince's children in the past, it passed away with a smile.However, everyone could see that His Majesty's patience with the prince was getting less and less, and he even reprimanded the prince in front of the officials in an early court.The remnants of King Ke's old department in the court took the opportunity to speak out, causing the status of the prince who had just replaced the auxiliary state to plummet in an instant.

A few days later, Ning Zhao still sent someone to call, Qin Guanyue didn't refuse, and took Xiao Sheng directly to the palace.

Ning Zhao met her in the study room, but when he opened his mouth, he said, "The prince is really useless!"

Qin Guanyue lowered her eyes slightly, but did not answer.

But Ning Zhao continued, "You still need to come to supervise the country, and I don't feel relieved to leave it to the crown prince."

"The prince is young, and he will inevitably make mistakes. Your Majesty, don't worry."

"How can I not be in a hurry?" Ning Zhao retorted immediately, then realized that he had lost his composure, and eased his tone, "There is no need to delay the chaos in Yongzhou, and there is no way for me not to be in a hurry."

"I have read the account books submitted by the six ministries. The military expenses are indeed quite short, but we only need to wait for the profits of the first batch of Huangzhuang and the tax revenue at the end of the year to be handed over to the national treasury to make up the military expenses. After half a month, the three armed forces will conduct exercises. Your Majesty will definitely not let it go." disappointment."

"I originally planned to go to Fuyun Mountain after Ningsi passed seven days."

"..."

Qin Guanyue said slowly, "Master has worked so hard to win the throne for His Majesty, and he has also exhausted all his energy to defend this river and mountain for His Majesty. If Your Majesty abandons the river and mountain and ignores it, I am afraid that I have failed Master's painstaking efforts."

Ning Zhao was silent and did not speak.The corner of Qin Guanyue's mouth raised slightly, she raised her head to look at him, and said with a smile, "Your Majesty is just worried about Master, why don't you write a letter in hand, and I send someone to send it to Qin Tianjian?"

Ning Zhao was really moved, "Okay."

He couldn't wait for someone to prepare the pen and ink. He didn't drop the pen for a long time, and Qin Guanyue didn't urge him to do so. He just waited for an hour before the letter was finished and handed over to her.

Qin Guanyue looked at the red lacquer on the letter, and solemnly put it in her arms, "I will take my leave."

"Ah."

Ning Zhao responded, and ordered someone to take a fiery red fox fur and put it on her body, "It's getting cold, take care of yourself."

Qin Guanyue chuckled, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Go."

When I left the palace, it started to rain, and the slightest bit of cold rain was like a reminder to Qin Guanyue, and every bone in my body ached.

She shivered, and the servant behind her hurriedly brought an umbrella, terrified.

Qin Guanyue looked at the young face and thanked him softly.The little eunuch didn't seem to have reacted, and stood there stupidly. When he came back to his senses, he saw that the pair of master and servant had already walked away with umbrellas.

"Firefox fur, which is worth thousands of gold, has a price but no market." Xiao Sheng held an umbrella with one hand, and with the other hand, he wrapped the fox fur cloak around him tightly.

"The more he felt guilty towards Gong, the more he wanted to make it up to me, and the more guilty Gong felt towards me, the more he dared not stop me from doing all this." Qin Guanyue took out the red-painted letter from her bosom. The letter, with his fingernails, brushed away the paint, took out the letter and glanced at it, then carelessly tore it into pieces and threw it on the ground.

The rain slammed on the shredded paper, and soon soaked the paper, and the handwriting became a ball of ink, and soon became a mass of filth under the trampling of passers-by.

Three days later, the crown prince was reprimanded by His Majesty again in the court hall. The whole court was terrified, and His Majesty left the court angrily.

As soon as he came down to court, the crown prince came to the door again, this time Qin Guanyue refused and let him in.

She was critiquing papers in the study when the prince rushed in directly, his eyes were red, but his face was pale, with a look of fear and internal anger.

"Why didn't the emperor see me?" He questioned.

Qin Guanyue coughed a few times, "Did the steward not tell the prince that I am sick in bed? Or does the prince think that even if I am sick in bed, I have to drag my sick body to see the prince?"

The prince was startled, and hurriedly said, "Don't dare, the student doesn't mean that, the student just... I really can't help it, I beg the emperor to save the student!"

He folded his hands, bowed deeply, and didn't get up for a long time.

Qin Guanyue lowered her head and flipped through the booklet, "The crown prince's body is so rich, I can't bear such a big gift."

The prince was so anxious that he was sweating, and he was about to kneel down while gritting his teeth, "I beg the emperor to save me!"

Xiao Sheng at the side of the desk quickly stretched out his dagger to stop him, the prince paused, and raised his head to meet Qin Guanyue's cold eyes.

"His Royal Highness is really stupid and unusable," she said.

The prince's face turned ugly, but he endured it.

Qin Guanyue continued, "This is His Majesty's original words. Why does His Majesty think His Majesty would say these words?"

The prince trembled when he heard these words, but did not say a word.

"The Han family is a loyal family. The Marquis of Zhenwei has a heavy army in his hands. The old Marquis is still guarding the country for Daxi in the frontier. The little Marquis Han is standing on the roof of Longquan Palace. His Majesty has never punished him. How dare the crown prince do anything to him?"

Her gentle and slow voice made the prince tremble all over, "Your Highness, you are just a prince, and your majesty is still young, so it is easy to change a prince."

Sweat dripped from the crown prince's forehead, he lowered his head and said with trembling hands, "It's Han Zhengwei——"

"So what if he beats you? So what if he scolds you? Didn't you marry the daughter of the Han family just to gain the support of the Han family? But in the end, you did something to the princess for the sake of a brothel girl, and lost the support of the Han family. Could it be that the prince has no intention of taking the throne? ?”

The prince gritted his teeth, "The Han family didn't want to support me at all! I was in trouble a few times before, and the Han family would only make trouble, and now let that bastard Han Zhengwei humiliate me! It's tolerable, what can't be tolerated!"

"So what if you can't bear it?" Qin Guanyue sneered, "If you have the ability to sit in that position, you don't have to bear it, do you?"

The prince clenched his fists and said nothing.

"Your Majesty is not from a high family background, was disliked by the late emperor, and has little influence in the court, but who dares to say that he is unworthy when he ascends the throne?"

Qin Guanyue stretched out her hand to support her chin, and played with the vermilion pen with the other hand, "If you can sit in that seat, you don't have to look at other people's faces, and you don't have to endure humiliation. But your highness, can you do it?"
