The dark-bellied prime minister's cute wife

Chapter 408 The Gray-Haired Old Man

In the dead of night, many people in the palace had already fallen asleep, and the lights of the palace were all turned off.

But in the imperial study room, the lights are still brightly lit at this moment.

Guo Huai who was on the side gave a huff, and quickly covered his mouth for fear of affecting the emperor who was correcting the paper.

Long Xuanshen put the reviewed paper aside, then glanced at him and smiled: "If you are tired, go down and have a rest."

Hearing this, Guo Huai quickly pretended to be in good spirits, and smiled at him: "This old slave is not tired, Your Majesty." Instead, he forgot what happened just now.In fact, I have been with the emperor for so many years, and the emperor is extremely sympathetic to me. Even if I go down now and let a little eunuch serve as the emperor, I will never say anything, but I am worried in my heart, so I think about it. It is only by personally accompanying the emperor.

Seeing what he said, Long Scrophulariac also smiled as if he knew what he was thinking, and shook his head: "What can happen to me in this palace? You are fine with everything, but you are too worried about me. Haha." Although he said this, he was very touched that the person in front of him had gray hair, but he still thought of himself wholeheartedly, hoping to help him do everything by himself.

Hearing such words, Guo Huai just smiled and didn't continue to speak. He lowered his head and stopped talking.

After looking at him for a while, Long Xuanshen bowed his head and continued to review the scriptures.

A little eunuch opened the door and walked in. Guo Huai quickly walked over and took the ginseng tea and put it gently on the desk: "Your Majesty! Drink some ginseng tea to refresh yourself."

Long Xuanshen nodded, picked up the ginseng tea and took a sip, then continued to look at the booklet and stopped talking.

Seeing him so tired, Guo Huai was also very worried. Although the emperor and the people liked it, it seriously affected the emperor's body. This young body is not as good as before. It's better to let His Highness take over the throne earlier, so that the Emperor can take good care of himself.

He sighed in his heart and thought about it, but he didn't dare to make any sound.

Long Scrophulariae continued to review the papers and finally raised his head and glanced at him, before asking, "What time is it?"

Because Guo Huai was getting old, it was a little free for such a long time. He staggered because he heard the emperor's words and quickly opened his eyes. He looked at the sky outside before answering: "Your Majesty! At this time, about It's about time."

After finishing speaking, he glanced at him worriedly, the emperor would go to court again soon, looking at the scriptures that had been reviewed on the case, it seemed that the emperor hadn't slept all night.

Long Xuanshen glanced at him, and muttered to himself: "It's Mao's time again, it's so fast." He stood up as he spoke, with bruises under his eye circles because he hadn't slept all night.

Guo Huai glanced at him before asking: "Does the emperor want to rest for a while? The old slave will wake you up later?"

Shaking his head, Long Xuanshen said just now: "I can't sleep for long, so let's not sleep." He glanced at him: "Come out for a walk with me."

Hearing this, Guo Huai hurried over, but there was distress in his eyes. Perhaps others thought that the emperor was a very powerful person, possessing great power in the world, but he was the only one who knew the fate of the emperor. It is too difficult to be a good emperor who is diligent in government and loves the people.

The two walked slowly step by step outside the imperial study room. Long Xuanshen raised his head to look at the moonlight that was showing a corner, lowered his head and sighed before asking: "Has Concubine Jiang been at peace during this time?" ?” Although I had greeted Concubine Jiang last time, I was still worried, after all, the empress was the one who harmed Concubine Jiang’s child, and she was still a little prince.Although Concubine Jiang told herself that she would not hurt her children because of her private affairs, she knew that it was not her truth, and asked if someone else encountered such a thing, would they act as if they did not know? ?

Thinking of Tang Yanran, Long Scrophulariae suppressed his anger even more. Others who are pregnant with children are always cautious, but she is still causing trouble everywhere when she is pregnant, as if she did not offend anyone.

After listening to the emperor's question, Guo Huai took a step forward and said, "Reporting to the emperor, Concubine Jiang and Empress are all well, but nothing happened. I think the emperor must have thought too much."

Hearing this, Long Scrophularia was slightly relieved. Although he usually turned a blind eye to the matter between Concubine Jiang and the Empress, this time it was about his heirs, and he absolutely couldn't do it. Let it go again.

Opening his eyes, he glanced at him and said, "The queen's body is getting heavier now, and you have to arrange many things. I have already lost one prince, but I don't want to lose another one." It's gone." Actually, when I mentioned Concubine Jiang's child, Longxuanshen, I felt very sad, it was my first child, and it was a well-formed male fetus.

Guo Huai knew the worries in his heart, and seeing him say such words, he was deeply touched: "Don't worry, the emperor! This old slave will definitely take good care of the empress's body, and will not let the empress and the dragon's heir suffer any harm." This is not because of respect for Scrophulariaceae Long, but because I have already regarded him as a relative, so naturally that child is also my relative, and I will definitely treat it with care.

Hearing his words, Longxuancan was slightly relieved, glanced at him, and was very grateful in his heart: "My emperor will entrust you to you, you must know that the people in this palace who I can trust will be Only you." This is a bit sad, but it is true.

Others think that being an emperor is so good, but only you know the helplessness of the emperor. No one around you treats you sincerely, just because of the power in your hands.These court ladies and eunuchs only know how to flatter themselves, and the only person who can really tell the truth in front of them is this person in front of them.

Saying this, Long Scrophulariaceae looked at his gray hair, and suddenly his nose felt a little sour: "Guo Huai, you have to take good care of yourself." Because I really don't know, if you leave, this huge Who else can I trust in the palace?

Since Long Scrophulariaceae became the emperor, he has rarely said such words, so at this moment, when Guo Huai heard him speak like this, tears welled up in his eyes, but they didn't flow out, and he was watching him step by step. Became the emperor, and watched him take over all these step by step. No one understands the emperor's hardships and fatigue better than myself, and it is precisely because of this that I love the emperor so much. If the emperor is not the emperor, there is no need Take on so much.

Nodded: "The old slave will, the old slave will watch the emperor cultivate Rong and the princess, the old slave will always serve the emperor, the emperor wants to drive the old slave away, that's impossible .”

Such childish words sounded even more sad to Long Scrophulariae, the old man in front of him was already like this but still cared about him all the time, it seemed that in his heart he was not the emperor, but just a child.

He waved his hands and stopped talking, and continued to walk forward a few steps. Behind him, Guo Huai wiped away the remaining tears from the corners of his eyes with his sleeves where he could not see.Your majesty... this old servant really wants to serve you for the rest of his life, but I'm afraid he won't be able to do so. The old slave's body is already weak, but seeing you like this is really worrying...

Long Scrophulariae and Guo Huai behind him remained silent, a few sparse stars remained in the night sky, slowly revealing a corner, and the stars gradually disappeared.

It didn't take long for the sky to dawn, and Guo Huai, who was behind him, came forward: "Your Majesty... let this old slave wear court clothes for you."

Nodding her head, she continued to go back to the imperial study room. It was time to go to court again.

I really don't know what happened to Rong and them?Thinking about the Goddess, Long Scrophulariac frowned slightly. In fact, he was extremely worried about her leaving, but thinking that she would take over his position in the future, he must go through a lot of experience before then. Yes, so the last time he let her go directly and cruelly, I don't know if Rong He hated himself in his heart.

Thinking of this, Long Xuanshen shook his head, and said to the people beside him, "Send someone to inquire about Rong He."

Guo Huai naturally knew what he was talking about, and also knew his expectations for Ronghe, so he nodded: "Your Majesty, don't worry, there will be no trouble with His Highness's help."

Hearing this, Long Xuanshen thought of the person who left in a hurry before Rong He left, and suddenly smiled.That's right, there is that person beside Rong He who is helping to plan, why are you still worrying about it?He waved his hand: "Forget it, since this is the case, don't send people to investigate."

Guo Huai nodded, and then followed him to the hall.

"The Emperor is here!"

A loud voice sounded, Long Scrophulariaceae sat on the throne, and a neat voice sounded from below: "Long live the emperor, long live, long live!"

He raised his voice lightly: "Everyone is flat!"

The court affairs of the day began again, Long Scrophulariaceae was still in Cao Ying, sitting there with his heart in Han, listening to the people below talking about trivial things, watching the Jiang family and the Tang family talking to each other below Rivalry.

Sighing in my heart, these officials always report good news but not bad news, each of them hides those dirty things, and talks about things that are not on the stage in this hall, although there are many civil and military officials , but there are very few people who can really help me with practical things. Otherwise, why would I invite Duan Fuji?Thinking of these dragon scrophulariaceae, he smiled wryly, and waited for the people below to quarrel enough before reaching a conclusion.

Seeing that there was nothing else to do, Guo Huai on the side repeated the daily sentence: "Retire!"
