I'm dressed as the villain of the novel

Chapter 111 Is the emperor finally going to kill Aijia?
Just when a group of people stepped out of the back garden, surrounded by Zhao Xin and rushed to Zichen Hall, in the Empress Dowager's Palace, the Empress Dowager Zhao Cui was completely unaware of the turmoil outside.

Since she was placed under house arrest by the emperor, she has not stepped out of Yong'an Palace for a long time.

Although the emperor did not deliberately reduce her expenses in terms of basic living needs, the palace eunuchs who should be assigned were also allocated in full according to the rules.

But Empress Dowager Zhao Cui still felt that Yong'an Palace was gradually dying just like herself.

Even on such a summer day, Yong'an Palace actually felt slightly cold.

Zhao Cuishi was leaning on the soft couch in the pavilion, his eyes seemed to be watching the scenery in the garden through the veil, but in fact his eyes were not focused.

A few palace servants waited on him cautiously, not daring to make a sound.

The entire Liangge, and even the entire garden seemed to be silent, extremely quiet, or rather silent.

Even the wind seems to have no sound.

Or the wind didn't move at all, and the entire Yong'an Palace was still flowing, probably just the silent time and the sun overhead...

"What time is it?"

Zhao Cuishi suddenly said quietly.

"Reporting to your mother, it's almost the middle of the day."

The palace man replied cautiously.

"Um……"

Zhao Cuishi responded slowly, and then there was another silence.

I don't know how long it took before Zhao Cui came back to his senses, sighed softly and said: "Let's pass on the meal, Ai's family only has leftovers to eat now."

For her exclamation, or self-sigh, the palace servants dare not speak up.

He just leaned over and reported: "Return to Madam, just now His Majesty sent someone to send a food box."

"Food box?"

Zhao Cui Shi was startled when she heard the words, then her face suddenly turned pale, and she sneered sadly, "Has the emperor finally decided to send my old lady to heaven?"

After speaking, he angrily swept everything on the table in front of him to the ground.

In his mouth, he said angrily: "The Ai family is already like this, isn't it enough?

If Aijia doesn’t eat, you, you, and you, go tell him that if you want to kill Aijia, let him use the knife, Aijia is not afraid..."

Seeing that Zhao Cui Shi had a lazy expression just now, but suddenly became hysterical, all the palace people couldn't help but turn pale with fright.

Hastily knelt down and explained: "Your Majesty misunderstood."

"Recently, there was an order from the Shanglin Garden in central Beijing to present a kind of Jiahe that can produce ten stones per mu. His Majesty was very pleased with it, so he invited all the virtuous and virtuous officials in Beijing to hold a feast of Jiahe.

To celebrate the grand event, His Majesty and the Empress personally cooked a delicacy with this golden harvest to entertain all the virtuous and virtuous.

And let people also send a copy to the empress, please have fun with the empress! "

The palace servant recounted the ins and outs of the matter in detail, and then leaned down again and said: "Your Majesty is a benevolent and filial monarch, how can you do something rebellious and immoral, don't worry about the Queen Mother!"

"Golden Harvest Feast?"

Zhao Cui's face was still fluctuating after hearing the palace man's explanation, but his expression gradually settled down.

But then he looked at the palace man kneeling on the ground and sneered, "Please have fun with Ai's family, hehe, the emperor is filial, if that's the case, let's present it."

"Here!"

The palace man stood up and waved for someone to bring up the food box.

Then he touched the Empress Dowager with his own hands.

Zhao Cuishi opened the food box and took a look, and saw a jade bowl in the food box, which contained a kind of food that she had never seen before.

It looks like acorn soup in color and shape, but it is different.

"Is this the delicacy made by Jiahe?"

Zhao Cuishi stirred it gently with a silver spoon, then carefully scooped up a little soup, hesitated for a moment before putting it into his mouth.

I found that it didn't seem to be poisonous, and the taste was unexpectedly good. I couldn't help but feel a little bit interested.

After taking two more bites, I felt more and more delicious, and I no longer felt the timidity before.

And I learned to use the sauce next to it without a teacher.

Before I knew it, I realized that I had finished eating all of this bowl, and I still felt a little unsatisfied.

But he didn't say another one.

Washed his hands in the clean water encountered by the palace man next to him, rinsed his mouth again, took the towel handed over by the palace man next to him and wiped his mouth.

His face was a little more flushed than before, and his expression returned to a lazy state, and he said lightly: "The emperor has a heart."

Although the tone seemed a little sarcastic, but the heart was much more peaceful.

At the same time, I was also guessing whether the emperor had any purpose.

Could it be because my elder brother is powerful and the emperor is afraid, so he wants to ease the relationship with the Ai family.

if so……

At this moment, Zhao Cuishi's heart moved a little again, and he seemed to see a little hope again.

He was about to ask the palace servants to help him go for a walk in the corridor.

Suddenly heard slight footsteps, turned around and saw a servant walking in cautiously.

This servant is her old man in Yong'an Palace, although she is not a confidant, she is familiar with her.

However, after the emperor took control of Yong'an Palace, most of the old people in Yong'an Palace were transferred away, and some of them were only responsible for outside chores.

The people who are close to him are naturally the emperor's people.

At this time, he saw this familiar servant come in, but no one stopped him.

Zhao Cuishi couldn't help being slightly startled, and subconsciously glanced at the palace man next to him, seeing that the latter didn't respond.

Then he asked as if he didn't care, "What's the matter?"

"Miss."

The servant cautiously leaned down on the ground, and replied: "Cui Wenhao, the eldest son of the censor doctor, is asking to see you outside!"

Zhao Cuishi was startled when she heard the words, "What?"

Subconsciously want to say "please", but then realize that this Yong'an Palace is full of Zhao Xin's people, how could they allow the Cui family to come to see Ai's family?

Is my brother finally coming to save Ai's family?
Thinking like this, but on the surface, he forcibly suppressed the excitement in his heart, and said nonchalantly: "Let him in."

It's just that the hand hidden in the sleeve was subconsciously squeezed tightly.

In order not to let her excitement be seen, she sat down again.

But the mind is not at peace.

After a while, she finally saw Cui Wenhao.

But the person behind Cui Wenhao made her startled.

The excited mood was suddenly poured a bucket of cold water.

'Wen Hao, this child came to see Ai's family, why did he bring outsiders?And isn't the person behind him the person next to the emperor? '

Zhao Cui didn't know Wang Xuance's name, but he knew that he was the emperor's confidant.

The Cui family she had been looking forward to day and night finally came, but they came with Zhao Xin's cronies, which made Zhao Cui Shi very upset and a little bit at a loss as to what to do.

"Cui Wenhao pays homage to my aunt, the Empress Dowager!"

Just when Zhao Cui's mind was in a state of confusion, Cui Wenhao had already approached and prostrated himself on the ground.

Wang Xuance also stepped into the Liangge, but he just bowed and said: "The king Xuance pays his respects to the empress dowager!"

"Get up, the ground is cold."

Although his heart was in a mess, Zhao Cui could not help being excited when he saw Cui Wenhao kneeling in front of him, and his face was full of smiles.

But when she looked at Wang Xuance again, she looked a little resentful, snorted, and waved her hand, "Forget it, my old woman can't afford it."
