Chapter 61

It's the third day, originally today was the day when Tian Qiyan and his father left Zhongdu, but now, he is deeply imprisoned. Although he got Tian Qilie's promise, if he doesn't release Tian Qiyan for a day, he won't leave for a day. My heart can never settle down.

In the past few days Tian Qilie has been busy with government affairs. The former emperor passed away and the new emperor ascended the throne. There are many political affairs to be dealt with, but Zihu's concern is always the safety of Tian Qiyan.

Unexpectedly, the news of Tian Qiyan's release did not arrive, but his own canonization did arrive.

Zi Zhu looked at the bright yellow imperial decree in the hand of the eunuch who came to declare the decree, and felt as if he had knocked over the five-flavored bottle, and was about to kneel down to receive the decree.

But the little eunuch hurriedly waved his hand and helped Zi Zhu up, "Your Majesty can't do it, the emperor has ordered that you can just stand and receive the order."

Zi Zhu had no choice but to give up, and stood aside with his hands behind his back, his head lowered.

The little eunuch's thin voice came out: "By God's blessing, the emperor ordered that the owner of Ruiyi County, Mu's family Zizhu, dignified and beautiful, beautiful and intelligent, and now Jin is a first-class noble concubine, entering the Suoxin Palace.

Zi Zhu frowned slightly, what a lock heart palace, Tian Qilie was really ingenious, she had to admire such a name for coming up with such a name.

"Zi Zhu accepts the decree, thank you Lord for your kindness!" Zi Zhu said softly, accepting the imperial decree.

"Concubine Mu, please go with the servant." The little eunuch was very obedient, and made a gesture of invitation, and anyone with a discerning eye could see the emperor's love and favor for Zizhu, and even before he was conferred, he had already made her a queen. She is a noble concubine, second only to the future empress.

Zi Zhu didn't speak, just took Qing'er and followed the little eunuch silently.

After tossing and turning, they came to a luxurious palace.

Zi Zhu raised his head, and in Suo Xin Dian, three vigorous and somewhat rough characters came into view.Tian Qilie, does he really want to lock his heart?I'm afraid, in this life, I will fail him!

Entering the hall, Zi Zhu was fascinated by the scene in front of him. Facing the vermilion gate was a rockery. The fountains in the mountain gushed out continuously, and the spring water was colorful. Under the sunlight, it was extraordinarily crystal clear.

Entering the main hall, the decoration in the main hall is very simple and simple, not even a trace of luxury.Zi Zhu's mouth curled up into a smile, Tian Qilie really won his heart, knowing that he didn't like those ostentatious decorations.

"This old slave pays respects to the imperial concubine and empress." At this moment, Eunuch Wang, the chief eunuch, walked in and saluted respectfully.

"Wang Gonggong, please get up quickly, there is no need to be too polite." Zi Zhu quickly helped him up, and made an old man over fifty years old kneel down to her, how could she bear it?
"Imperial Concubine, these are the four maids and four eunuchs given to you by His Majesty the Emperor, please arrange them." Wang Gonggong pointed to the crowd behind him and said respectfully.

Zihu didn't know that the maids and eunuchs assigned to her by Tian Qilie were all top martial arts masters. Tian Qilie knew that Zihu always liked to be quiet, so he didn't assign too many palace people to serve her.

It can be said that Tian Qilie has taken great pains towards Zizhu and has a deep affection.

"Thank you." Zi Zhu nodded slightly to show her gratitude.

The prince was startled, and then said with a silly smile, "I don't dare." He didn't expect that a concubine like Zi Zhu would respect a slave like him so much. Except for the former emperor, no master has ever looked down on him so much. , no wonder the first emperor valued Concubine Mu so much, she is really a unique and strange woman.

"My father-in-law is serious. You have served the late emperor, so you are naturally Zi Zhu's elder. It is only right for Zi Zhu to respect you." Zi Zhu said with a smile, her tone was sincere without any adulteration.

The corners of Wang Gonggong's eyes were a little moist, he looked at Zizhu in disbelief, Sangcang's old face was full of surprise, and deeply moved.

Zi Zhu could see all the changes in him, so he naturally understood how amazing it was for him to say these words in this ancient times when there were no distinctions between superiority and inferiority.

"The emperor is here!" At this moment, a notification came from outside.

Immediately afterwards, a figure dressed in bright yellow stepped in.

Zi Zhu raised his head and looked at Tian Qilie, it was undeniable that this man was excellent, with the dragon robe added to his tall and well-proportioned body, he looked like a king by nature.Under the two sword eyebrows, a pair of domineering eagle eyes are bottomless, and the thin lips are drawn up, with a gentle smile. When his eyes touch Zizhu, there is a faint gentle light wave.

"Zi Zhu." The sexy and magnetic voice made Zi Zhu tremble slightly.

"The concubine respectfully invites the emperor to be safe!"

"Slave pays respects to the emperor."

"Get up." Tian Qilie gently waved his hands to the kneeling crowd, then helped Zizhu up, and looked at him dotingly, "Zhuer, I said, I don't need to see you in the future." Salute, I don't like that you are so alienated from me." She gently scratched her small nose with a very gentle tone.

For his doting and petting, Zi Zhu felt a bit of bitterness in her heart, and always felt a little guilty, he was so unreservedly good to herself, but her heart was towards Yan'er, hey!

So subconsciously kept a certain distance from Tian Qilie, and said with a slightly reproachful tone: "Your Majesty, under the watchful eyes of everyone, you can't do this."

Tian Qilie only thought that she was shy, and the smile on the corner of his mouth deepened, and he stopped playing around with her.He told everyone, "Go down, all of you."

"Yes." Everyone quickly nodded and said yes, and quickly backed out.

Seeing his solemn expression, Zi Zhu couldn't help but ask, "Does the Emperor have something to say to his concubine?"

Tian Qilie nodded heavily, let out a long sigh, and then fell into silence.

Zi Zhu vaguely felt that something serious must have happened, and it made it difficult for him to talk about it, and even fell into embarrassment.

After a long time, Tian Qilie said, "Mu'er, do you know that the jade seal of the Tianfeng Kingdom and the soldier talisman for deploying 30 troops are missing?" Tian Qilie's tone was filled with deep helplessness and faint anxiety.

Zi Zhu was startled, he, he actually told himself this matter, which fully proves that Tian Qilie trusts himself 100%, and only then confessed everything related to his wealth and life.If he knew that these two things were in his hands, would he cut himself into pieces!

Thinking of this, Zi Zhu couldn't help but feel a chill rising from the bottom of her heart, swimming all over her body.His face also instantly turned pale.

Tian Qilie noticed that something was wrong with Zizhu, and couldn't help but asked with concern: "Zhu'er, what's wrong with you? What's wrong?"

"No, no, I'm just a little worried. The jade seal and the soldier talisman are the foundation of the country, so what's good if they are lost?" Zi Zhu looked at him worriedly, her tone became serious, she really wanted to slap herself to death, Why let her fall into this dilemma between love and righteousness.For Yan'er, she must not hand over things, no, he has already been extremely sorry for Tian Qilie's affection, and he must not be sorry for Yan'er, and for the entrustment of his father before his death.cannot!
Tian Qilie smiled, supported her shoulders, and comforted her: "Mu'er, can I treat you as caring about me?"

Seeing the hope on his face, Zi Zhu couldn't help but nodded silently.

"Go away, you dead slave, stop me, don't you think your life is too long!"

"I want to report to my lord, the emperor ordered that no one should disturb me, my lord, please go back!"

"Clap!"

The chaos outside the palace disturbed Tian Qilie and Zi Zhu, Tian Qilie frowned, very displeased, he and Mo'er rarely get along so happily, who is so bold to come and disturb!

Zihu was very familiar with this voice, and it was that Shui Qiangwei who loved to make trouble. Zihu really didn't understand, did she kill her whole family in her previous life?
"Get out of the way for me, get out of the way!" Shui Qiangwei's voice became higher, without any regard for the demeanor of a famous lady, no different from a shrew who scolded the street.

Zi Zhu couldn't listen any longer, and just wanted to go to open the door, but unexpectedly a majestic voice came: "Isn't even Ai's house allowed to enter?" The voice was faintly angry.

Khan, there are three black lines on Zizhu's forehead, why even the Queen Mother is here, and they can't wait to come to the door just after he was awarded the title, what is it?Depressed to death!

Tian Qilie was also extremely surprised, and hurried out when he heard Lin Minjun's voice.

"My son, my mother, pay your respects!" Tian Qilie leaned slightly and said.

"The concubine respectfully invites the queen mother to be safe and blessed!" Zi Zhu hurriedly knelt down and saluted respectfully.

"Hey, the imperial concubine please hurry up, the Ai family can't bear it, didn't the emperor say that you will be exempted from the ceremony of kneeling?" Lin Minjun looked at Zizhu, and mocked lukewarmly.

Zi Zhu secretly groaned, this Shui Qiangwei's mouth is really fast, sooner or later she will definitely tear her mouth apart!It's too much!
Sure enough, Zihu squinted at Shui Qiangwei, and Shui Qiangwei beamed, looking at Zihu triumphantly.

"After returning to my mother, this is what my son said, so don't be angry with your mother!" Tian Qilie looked at Zi Zhu who was kneeling on the ground lovingly, feeling extremely distressed in his heart, and quickly helped her up.

Lin Minjun saw that the emperor wanted to protect Zihu, and she had no intention of continuing to argue, and her purpose of coming here was not for that, so she gave up and asked Tian Qilie, "Emperor, you have already ascended the throne. Why didn’t you become empress for so long, instead conferred the title of concubine, if you say that the Ai family shouldn’t be involved in these matters, as emeritus is also a major matter for the country, you must not be sloppy, emperor!”

Hearing Lin Minjun's words, Tian Qilie frowned slightly, with a look of impatience in his eyes. In all honesty, it wasn't that he didn't want to be the queen, but rather that he didn't want to be the queen. Putting aside his personal opinion, Shui Qiangwei was so arrogant and domineering. Not only is it hard to convince the public, but she also doesn't have the demeanor and bearing of the mother of a country. But at present, it is too early for him to ascend the throne, and he still needs the support of Shui Yuanshan. It is necessary to make her the queen.

Seeing that he was silent, Lin Minjun said again: "Emperor, you can decide on your own. After choosing the date, go to Ci'an Hall and inform Aijia."

Tian Qilie nodded slightly, and replied: "What the empress mother said is very true, and my son has recorded it!"

Seeing Tian Qilie obediently agreed, Lin Minjun nodded in satisfaction, and when her eyes touched Zizhu's cheek, her eyebrows were frowned, with a hint of displeasure, she just turned to Shui Qiangwei and said, "Qiang'er, accompany Ai's family." Go back to Ci'an Hall!"

"Yes, Queen Mother!" Shui Qiangwei agreed softly, stretched out her hand, and supported Lin Minjun to leave slowly.

"The sons and ministers send off the queen respectfully, and the concubines send off the queen mother respectfully!" Tian Qilie and Zi Zhu said in unison.

When the two walked away, Zi Zhu looked at their backs and couldn't help sighing, it seems that the days ahead for him are really hard!

"Mo'er, what's wrong with you? Do you feel sad because of what the queen mother said?" Tian Qilie knew in his heart that Shui Qiangwei must have instigated what happened just now. If she hadn't cried to the queen mother, the queen mother would not have come to look for her Azusa's is not.I couldn't help but hate her even more.

But seeing Zi Zhu's frowning expression, his heart aches.He wanted to protect her so that she would never be harmed again!

"No, the concubine is fine, the emperor doesn't need to worry about it." Zi Zhu said lightly with a smile.She didn't want to owe Tian Qilie too much love, maybe Lin Minjun and Shui Qiangwei made things difficult for herself, they were collecting debts for Tian Qilie, she admitted it!

The two returned to the hall again, but the atmosphere was no longer as harmonious as before. After this commotion, they became obviously embarrassed.

Tian Qilie sat silently at the table, bowed his head and said nothing. On one side was his mother who gave birth to him, and on the other side was his beloved woman. He was caught in the middle, feeling very embarrassed.

"Your Majesty, when do you plan to release King Yan?" At this moment, Zi Zhu suddenly asked.

Tian Qilie raised his head, looked at him, opened his thin lips lightly, and said: "I have already planned to hold a queen conferment ceremony seven days later, and amnesty the world, punish the third brother lightly, depose his title of prince, and exile him To Youzhou!"

Zi Zhu felt a little sad when he heard the words, but this was a relatively good result. If the green hills were kept, there would be no firewood. As long as Yan'er was alive, there would be hope. Son.

"What's the matter? Are you dissatisfied with my actions?" Seeing that she was silent, Tian Qilie couldn't help asking.

"No, His Majesty is being benevolent and righteous, even if the late Emperor had a spirit in heaven, he would not blame His Majesty!" Zi Zhu's tone was gentle, without the slightest resentment.

"As long as you're satisfied, everything else doesn't matter!" Tian Qilie shrugged meaninglessly, and hearing his tone, it seemed that Zi Zhu was the most important person to him in this world.

"Your Majesty, you are serious. How can my concubine be so kind to you!" The better Tian Qilie treats her, the sadder she will be. If Tian Qilie treats her badly, neglects her, and favors other women , her heart can still be cold, and she can face Yan'er wholeheartedly with confidence, without having to struggle between dilemmas.

"Mo'er, do you know? Before you, I never loved a woman. In my opinion, a woman is nothing more than a tool for expressing desire, a plaything for people to play with. But after meeting you, you have loved me from head to toe. , every move, every frown and smile, attracts me all the time. Your boldness, cheerfulness, and strength all make me fall in love. The night you married the third brother, I felt so desperate. I have never been so desperate before! " Tian Qilie's expression began to blur again, and then he was in pain, and his whole person was completely immersed in the memories of the past.

"Hu'er, I'm begging you, stop thinking about the third brother, and give me a chance to love you well, is that okay?" His voice trembled a little, but it was also extremely sincere.

Zi Zhu didn't know what it was like?What should she say?She couldn't bear to reject him, but she knew it was impossible to accept him. If this continues, she might really go crazy!

"Well, I won't force you, I won't force you, as long as you live happily, that's fine!" Tian Qilie smiled bitterly, and his domineering eyes suddenly dimmed. After speaking, he turned and left.

Hey, Zi Zhu looked up to the sky with a sad face and sighed deeply. The development of this matter is far beyond the scope of his control. Father, tell Mo'er, what should Mo'er do?

Just after lunch, Zi Zhu saw that the sun outside was very nice, so she ordered someone to move out the chaise longue, and half leaned on it, her whole body was bathed in the afternoon sun, very comfortable.

"Miss, aren't you afraid of getting your skin tanned?" Qing'er asked with a smile as she passed a cup of tea.

"Fuck you, damn girl, I haven't heard a single good word from you!" Zi Zhu took the tea, said with a lazy expression, narrowed her bright eyes, and yawned.

Just as the teacup was put to his mouth, someone outside the garden shouted: "Is Concubine Mu here?" The shrill voice could tell which father-in-law it was from, but the tone was so arrogant!
Zi Zhu couldn't help but wonder, which palace eunuch is this, so defiant!

While thinking about it, a eunuch about forty years old walked in from outside the hall with small steps.

His steps were steady, he looked like a martial arts practitioner, he came to Zi Zhu's side in a leisurely manner, looked up and down, left and right, pointed at the orchid and asked, "Are you Concubine Mu?"

Zi Zhu didn't answer, but instead asked, "Your Excellency?"

The eunuch said: "Our family is the chief steward of the Ci'an Palace, and we are hereby ordering the Empress Dowager to invite Concubine Mu to go to the Ci'an Palace to have a talk!" There was no trace of respect in his tone, but a trace of impatience.

No wonder, Zi Zhu understood in his heart, it turned out to be someone close to Lin Minjun, no wonder he was so defiant, arrogant and arrogant, if there is a master, there must be a servant, just as annoying!

"I'm sorry, father-in-law. After I change my clothes, I will rush to Ci'an Hall immediately." Although Zi Zhu was angry, he didn't want to make too much noise.

The eunuch waved his hand impatiently, and said: "Don't bother, the empress dowager said, please follow our family immediately, Concubine Mu Gui!"

Zi Zhu thought for a while, and said, "Okay then, Eunuch, please lead the way!"

Qing'er worriedly watched the back of the two leaving, and after the two left, she also quietly left the Suoxin Palace.

As soon as he entered the Ci'an Hall, Zi Zhu immediately saw Lin Minjun sitting on the main seat. He was wearing a golden phoenix robe and wearing a golden yoke on his head. He was so extravagant that one couldn't help but feel three points shorter.

"The concubine respectfully invites the empress dowager to be blessed and safe!" Zi Zhu hurriedly knelt down to pay her respects.

Lin Minjun didn't seem to hear it, just fiddled with the vermilion paint on Yu's hand.

Zi Zhu couldn't stand up by herself, so she gritted her teeth and knelt on the ground.

Soon, a sore feeling came from her legs, attacking her senses, damn old woman, do you really want to exhaust her to death?
"My concubine pays respects to the empress dowager!" After a while, there was still no movement, so Zi Zhu had no choice but to raise her voice and shouted again.

The maid who was accompanying her couldn't stand it any longer, she glanced at Zi Zhu with sympathetic eyes.

The queen mother frowned and said: "Aijia is not deaf, but can hear!"

After hearing this, Zi Zhu felt even more depressed, "You are not deaf, why don't you let her get up?"
"Concubine Mu, are you convicted?" Lin Minjun asked suddenly, with a majestic look on his face.

Some monks at Zizhu were puzzled, what was wrong with what, and he was convicted?Could it be that she was insane, so she looked at Lin Minjun sympathetically.

"Concubine Mu, you don't plead guilty, what are you doing staring at Aijia?" Lin Minjun asked angrily, feeling a little uncomfortable being stared at by her probing eyes.

Zi Zhu looked indifferent, and asked: "I don't know what crime Zi Zhu has committed? Please tell the Queen Mother clearly!"

"Hmph!" The queen mother snorted coldly, then picked up the tea on the table and slowly sipped it.

Then, there was another silence, and the poor Zizhu was still kneeling on the ground.I was so tired that I couldn't straighten my waist.

"Concubine Mu, just kneel here and think about it carefully. When do you think about it, come to Ai's family again. Ai's family is going to take a nap!" After speaking coldly, she stood up and walked towards the side hall.

Zi Zhu was completely speechless, this vicious old woman deliberately wanted to punish herself, knelt here and slowly thought, she has been kneeling for almost an hour, okay, if she kneels down, her knees are going to swell, this is really too much , Mrs. is too much!
I really want to stand up and leave, no, rush in, beat up that old woman, and leave!

But reason does not allow her to do this, TNND, what a loser!Be angry with this bird!

For the sake of the overall situation, she had no choice but to continue to kneel down.

What does she mean?Is it to find fault on purpose, or guess what?Or what information do you want to get from yourself?What a hassle!
At the same time, Qing'er is looking for Tian Qilie everywhere.

Just now Zizhu and the eunuch left, Qing'er left the Suoxin Hall.She went to the imperial study first, but Tian Qilie was not there, and then went to his bedroom, but she was still not there.Ask those eunuchs and maids, all of them say they don't know!How strange!

Suddenly, a familiar figure caught Qing'er's attention, and when she saw the person coming, she shouted excitedly: "Prince Wang, Wang Gonggong."

When Wang Dehai heard someone calling him, he quickly looked around and saw a court lady running towards him quickly while calling him.

After getting closer, it was only then that she could clearly see that it was Concubine Mu's personal maid, Qing'er.

Wang Dehai asked suspiciously: "Miss Qing'er, you just called our house, what's the matter?"

Qing'er nodded anxiously, and asked: "Wang Gonggong, do you know where the emperor has gone?"

Wang Dehai thought for a while, and said: "The emperor left the palace with a few personal guards after lunch, and will return to the palace probably at night!"

"What, you're out of the palace!" Qing'er opened her eyes wide and shouted involuntarily.I thought to myself that this is bad, how could it be such a coincidence to leave the palace at this time?
