Chapter 393
At a palace banquet, some families like it and some people worry about it. Since returning to the palace, the emperor has been holding back his anger and refused to express it easily.He couldn't argue with the queen mother for no reason, so naturally he couldn't vent his anger.

"Oh my majesty, if you are angry, don't hold it in by yourself. If you hold it in carefully, if you get sick, you can't take the blame." Zhu Lu saw the emperor's expression was different, and he wanted to know why, but If you don't let the emperor let out this depression at this time, I'm afraid it will be even worse in the future.

The emperor was in a mood right now, and he would get angry at whoever got it. After hearing Zhu Lu's words, he naturally became angry, raised his foot and kicked Zhu Lu. "Slave dog, such a thing happened under my nose, you don't have to be the chief eunuch anymore."

Zhu Lu was kneeling in front of the emperor to serve him, but the emperor suddenly raised his leg and kicked him right on Zhu Lu's shoulder, he couldn't bear the pain and was directly kicked to the ground.

"It's the servant's negligence. The queen mother never cares about these things, so the servant didn't think much about it. Who knows that someone secretly ran to inform the queen mother. When the emperor is angry, just beat and scold the servant, and don't be at the same time because of such things. The empress dowager's anger hurt the empress dowager and the emperor's mother and son."

"You will plan for me for fear of losing the love of mother and child. Others may not think so." The more the emperor thought about these things, the more depressed he felt. After all, he relaxed his mind about the queen mother, which led to the current situation.

The emperor's fingers rubbed the center of his brows but did not let go of the anger and sorrow on his face. At this moment, seeing Zhu Lu who was still lying on the ground admitting his mistake, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Forget it, get up now. The queen mother is trying to protect the thief, so how can you be on guard? Let the imperial doctor prescribe some medicine for you to dissipate blood stasis."

"The injury on the servant is not serious, besides, the emperor usually feels sorry for the foot of the servant, which looked fierce and did not hurt the real part of the servant." Zhu Lu got up and rubbed the position of his left shoulder slightly. In fact, the foot of the emperor was real. Where the kick was missed, it was just that Zhu Lu flattered the emperor and didn't tell the truth.

"You slave, how can I not know how much strength I have used myself? Every person around me counts as one, and I am not as comfortable as a slave like you."

"Your Majesty, don't tease the slave, it's just that your Majesty..." Seeing that the Emperor's mood improved, Zhu Lu wanted to say something tentatively, but he stopped after opening his mouth.

"Just say what you want, and do what you do in a secretive manner."

"Yes, the slave originally wanted to say that the queen mother brought the man back. The emperor sent so many people to guard the queen mother, would it disturb the queen mother's rest? Besides, although the queen mother protected the man, she didn't say what to do. Why doesn't the emperor go to the queen mother to find out what the queen mother wants?"

It's not that the emperor didn't think about it, it's just that he just got angry with the queen mother, and it would be a bit embarrassing for him to ask the queen mother to take the initiative to make peace with him.But hearing Zhu Lu's persuasion, although the emperor didn't say anything, he was still thinking about it in his heart.

Seeing the emperor's worry, Zhu Lu took the initiative to say: "It is true that the empress dowager did not take the emperor's face into consideration, but she is the empress dowager after all, and the emperor just doesn't think about other things, so he should go to find out the truth to rest assured. .”

"Zhu Lu, there are too many idlers in the harem to pass on my decree, and some of the maids and eunuchs are sent out of the palace, especially those who love to bite their tongues on weekdays. It is natural that the queen has just taken charge of the harem. These things are naturally unclear. , so I personally took the queen to ask the queen mother for instructions."

"The slave obeys the order, and it is up to others to do it."

Zhu Lu's speed was not fast, but within half a day he drew up a list of palace ladies and eunuchs who were allowed to leave the palace. Those who wandered around in various palaces, and those who had private contact with the master of that palace or people in the empress dowager's palace, all took this opportunity to dismiss them from the palace.

"Queen, the emperor and queen are here." Aunt Xin came in and reported to the queen.

The Empress Dowager came back from the banquet without even changing her clothes, so she knew that the Emperor would definitely come, but she didn't expect that it was only half a day later, so she was a little too impatient.

"My son (my son) pays my respects to the Queen Mother."

"The emperor is here?" The Empress Dowager walked out from the inner room supported by Aunt Xin, and glanced at the emperor.Although the emperor didn't have any abnormalities on his face at this time, he still hated himself in his heart after all. After all, the emperor always called himself the queen mother in the past, and the title of queen mother was rarely used, but now he taught the queen to do the same.

"Yes, I brought the queen here today because I have something to talk to the queen mother about."

"What's the matter with the emperor?"

"The empress should take on the responsibilities of the empress when she enters the East Palace, so I want to use this to hand over the affairs of the Sixth Palace to the empress. It's just that the empress is unavoidably unfamiliar, so the empress took the empress Come and ask the Queen Mother."

After the emperor finished speaking, he glanced at the queen, and the queen nodded after receiving the signal, then turned her head and said to the queen mother: "My minister is not as stupid as the queen mother, but I will definitely study hard. When I was teaching in the harem, I found that there were too many eunuchs and maids in the palace, and the palace servants in each palace could not be used, so my ministers discussed with the emperor to let some people out of the palace, so as to reduce this problem. Second, the trivial matters in the palace can also save a lot of expenses." After finishing these things, the queen looked at the face of the queen mother, and saw that the queen mother did not intend to stop or interrupt before continuing. .

"So I ordered someone to compile a list of palace people who are suitable for release from the palace. The queen mother can see if it is suitable?" The queen beckoned, and Zhu Lu presented the list and stood in front of the queen mother.

The Empress Dowager held the list in her hands and did not open it. Instead, she spoke first, "The Empress is so sympathetic to the Emperor as soon as she married into the royal family. The Ai Family is also happy to see it. The Empress Dowager is better than everything, isn't it?"

"What the Empress Dowager said is that the son-in-law will definitely be of one heart and one mind with the Empress."

"Okay, okay." The queen mother only said two good words and didn't say much, she directly opened the list book in her hand and looked at it.

After going through it roughly, although most of the empress dowagers don't know it, they are supposed to be people who conform to the rules and should be released from the palace. Besides, there are a few names that the empress dowager knows.These few people usually have some contacts with their own palace. Although they expected their names to appear here, the speed of the emperor is still faster.

Now it seems that the emperor didn't find out these people before, not because the emperor was completely negligent, but because the time was not right, he didn't take so many precautions against himself, the empress dowager.Now, because of what Jun did, I plan to give Aijia some warnings.

"The Ai family has seen it, and there is nothing wrong with it, so let's do it according to the queen's wishes."

"Since the Empress Dowager does not object, the minister there will continue to confess."

"Well, Queen, the affairs of the harem are simple and easy to say, but difficult to say. You have to remember that sometimes some things need to be strictly dealt with, but some things cannot be solved by strict investigation and strict handling. Treat it slowly, do you understand what Aijia means?"
