Emperor's Lazy Queen

Chapter 73

Early summer is the time when all crops grow faster, including flowers and plants.

It was already afternoon when Du Xiaoyue went back to the palace.According to the habit of many people, they will stop their work in the summer afternoon and take a short nap.But today, all the officials of Feiya knelt in front of the Meridian Gate at this time.

"Your majesty! The ministers knelt in front of the Meridian Gate, begging the emperor to punish the empress." The guard's hoarse voice came into the carriage, "They blocked the way back to the palace."

"Oh! It seems that I really want everyone to get it and kill me soon!" Du Xiaoyue chewed his words, smiled softly, and looked at Tan Wenhao who was sitting beside him, "Looking at their posture, if you don't respond today, I'm afraid I won't give up! Have you figured out how to deal with me, a 'criminal'?"

"Pass down the order and order them to wait in Zhaoyang Palace!" Tan Wenhao ignored Du Xiaoyue's sarcasm, and quietly conveyed the order to the guards outside, "Send someone to invite King Xuanwu and Prime Minister Du together." !" Tan Wenhao turned around and said firmly to Du Xiaoyue, "Yue'er, don't worry, no one can hurt you!"

"What's there to worry about? I have no shame in my heart, and I'm not afraid of walking at night!" Du Xiaoyue snorted, and didn't bother to emphasize Tan Wenhao's address - when this person was in the market, he just called him like this for a month. After correcting it countless times, Du Xiaoyue gave up this waste of tongue. Anyway, it's just a name, as long as the disgusting elements are ignored, it's not a big deal. "Let them just let their horses come over, soldiers come to block them, and water to cover them with earth, I have a reason!"

When Du Xiaoyue followed Tan Wenhao into the main hall of Zhaoyang Palace, all civil and military officials of the dynasty had already been waiting for a long time.After some respectful invitations to Sheng'an, Tan Wenhao took the rightful position as a matter of course, and at the same time handed over the joint trial to Tan Wenbo to preside over it.All the maids of Zhaoyang Palace were brought in, and they knelt in the center of the main hall together with Du Xiaoyue.

"The empress has lost her mother, and she is overly sad. She is given a seat to stand trial." Tan Wenhao said expressionlessly, his majestic voice could not be refuted, and he glanced lightly at the dissatisfied officials, and they calmly Sit aside and listen to the trial.

Du Xiaoyue didn't refuse or thank you, she sat down on the chair in the corner generously, gathered her energy, and prepared to watch the play. And leaned on the chair, making a sad look.

Tan Wenbo didn't miss every expression on Du Xiaoyue's face. Seeing her wiping the corners of her eyes from time to time, he also wondered whether she was really crying or just pretending to show Du Kangyong at the side.Glancing at the palace people kneeling in the center of the main hall, Tan Wenbo said lightly: "This king was ordered to investigate the case of poisoning Concubine Li Gui. Because Concubine Li Gui was weak, she could not come to Zhaoyang Palace to hear the trial, so Li Shangshu will do it here. Let's testify!" Then he walked to his seat and sat down, took a sip of tea slowly, then took out a book from his sleeve pocket, and began to flip through it slowly, that is, without raising his eyes to look at Tan Wenhao, He didn't even look at the other courtiers or the palace people kneeling on the ground.

Seeing this posture, Du Xiaoyue knew what Tan Wenbo was planning. She raised her eyes and glanced at Tan Wenhao. She didn't know where he changed the book, and she also slowly flipped through it.Just when Du Xiaoyue was about to lower her head and start to sleep, she accidentally saw the cover of the book in Tan Wenhao's hand, which read "Pull a branch of red apricot out of the wall" in simplified characters from left to right!With just this one glance, Du Xiaoyue lost all sleepiness, and after flexing her fingers holding the chair a few times, she still couldn't reach out and pointed at Tan Wenhao, but her face was already white with red, and the red was white - he was from Where did you find this book? !This is an absolute copy that I keep privately, because the content is too adult, I threw it under the bed, I didn't expect it to fall into his hands!
When the officials saw this situation, although they didn't know which play the emperor and the prince were singing, they didn't dare to ask, so they just sat quietly and waited; the palace people kneeling on the ground were waiting for the prince. He interrogated himself, but unfortunately there was no sound for a long time, so he secretly raised his head and glanced at the emperor and prince who were sitting in the upper and upper left seats. Kneeling there quietly, motionless.

After a few hours passed, the sun had slanted into the palace, the maids couldn't kneel anymore, and the ministers couldn't sit still anymore, and began to whisper in low voices.In the hall, there were only four people who were the quietest after sitting quietly for an hour: Du Kangyong still had a calm face, kept silent, and drank tea from time to time; Tan Wenbo was still slowly flipping through the book, He never raised his head; Tan Wenhao also flipped through the book in his hand without raising his eyes.

On the other hand, Du Xiaoyue stared at Tan Wenhao with bulging eyes and flames, and kept talking to her lips: "Who is this person, does it take two hours to read a Fengyue novel with about [-] pages? Are you looking at it so carefully? Look at him like that, and he keeps nodding, what do you mean? Is there any inspiration after reading?" When Du Xiaoyue thought of the word "enlightenment", her face turned purple even more - in the book , as if I used a pen to circle those things that were described too nakedly and that I thought were unrealistic!If he thinks that he is yearning or lecherous and specially circled those, then he will be ashamed!Thinking of this, Du Xiaoyue really wanted to hit tofu and die, or dig a hole to bury herself!

Another half an hour later, when Du Xiaoyue's eyes were about to stare, the ministers were about to spit more and more, Du Kangyong was about to drink the No.20 cup of tea, and the ladies' feet were about to kneel and break, Tan Wenbo finally He raised his eyes and was slightly surprised to see the palace people kneeling on the ground, then smiled apologetically: "Oh, I was fascinated by the book for a while, and I forgot that you are all still kneeling." Turning his head again, standing up, He bowed slightly to Tan Wenhao, "I forgot what the emperor said because I read the book, please don't blame the emperor!"

"I was also fascinated by reading, and I forgot about it, so naturally I won't blame my brother." When Tan Wenhao spoke, he shook the book in his hand to Du Xiaoyue, and said slowly with a smile on his face with.

provocative!Red—naked provocation!Du Xiaoyue gave Tan Wenhao a hard look, then looked at Tan Wenbo, waiting to see his next performance.

"Brother Xie Huang." Tan Wenbo saluted again, then turned around, walked slowly to the middle, and said in a good voice, "Get up first!"

Upon hearing Tan Wenbo's words, the palace people whose feet were about to break their knees immediately stood up slowly, secretly beating their legs and pinching their waists from time to time.But at this moment, I heard Tan Wenbo sternly reprimanded: "This king made the poisoned people stand up, and the non-poisoned ones kneel down for me!"

There was a "plop", which was particularly obvious in a quiet space.When everyone saw it, it was Du Xiaoyue's personal girl, Qingzhu.Immediately afterwards, Tan Wenbo spoke again: "The rest of the courtiers all retreat, and Qingzhu stays!"

"Qingzhu, do you have something to say?" Tan Wenbo asked coldly.

"I... Slave..." Qingzhu timidly looked at Du Xiaoyue, then at Du Kangyong, and finally set her gaze on the ground again. Although she tried her best to be calm, her voice was still trembling, and she lacked confidence , "The slave has never been poisoned!"

"Heh, has this king ever told you that you have poisoned yourself? Are you pretending to be self-inflicted?" Tan Wenbo asked coldly.

Qingzhu looked up at Du Xiaoyue again, then lowered her head, and began to cry, sobbing silently.

"Qingzhu, it's okay! I haven't done it before, I'll take care of it for you!" Du Xiaoyue said suddenly, "However, I still want to ask you something, your letter every three days Is it really written to the rumored boyfriend, er, childhood sweetheart or your family?"

"Some are, some are not!" Qingzhu said with a choked voice.

"Who is the 'eunuch' who is connecting with you?" Du Xiaoyue suddenly asked in a cold voice, "I have seen that person three times, although the face is not the same each time, but the eyes are the same—this stuff of disguise, How did he become a teacher before he could play it well?"

"I don't know he's the same person." Qingzhu replied again, lowered her head even lower, and tears fell to the ground even more.

"Oh! Qingzhu, you are so stupid, you may have forgotten that there is a special person in this palace who is in charge of the palace letters. It is precisely because you give the letters to people with different faces every time, so I ordered someone to check— ——Your home letters are sent from there, and they are sent out every half a month; but the "bamboo horse" you send to you is usually once a day, sometimes every three days—I don’t know who sent the letter for you How capable is that man, he actually treats the imperial palace as a vegetable market and visits it once a day!" Du Xiaoyue raised her lips and sneered.

Qing Zhu raised her head suddenly, staring blankly at Du Xiaoyue, she couldn't believe it, Du Xiaoyue, who usually doesn't care about anything, can clearly know that she sends letters to others every day!
But Tan Wenhao on the side spoke lightly, jokingly: "Queen, no matter what, you can't compare the palace to a vegetable market!"

"Then what do you do? Go to the latrine? Once a day, and occasionally have diarrhea?" Du Xiaoyue asked calmly.But it was just one sentence that made Du Kangyong, who was still drinking tea steadily, spray out the tea with a 'pu', which wet the skirt of his clothes. Du Xiaoyue was unmoved, and did not hand over the handkerchief, but teased and said, " I'm sorry, I haven't studied for a few days, and my words are a bit vulgar, but it illustrates the problem very vividly - Qingzhu's love letters are sent too frequently, and the messenger's behavior is too weird."

Du Kangyong's face turned pale, and he gave Du Xiaoyue a hard look, but Du Xiaoyue pretended not to see it, and instead stretched out her hand to flick the dust off her body.And the ministers, especially Li Shangshu, have already started to show their faces - such a woman can also be a queen, it is really a high fragrance for eight lifetimes!
