Emperor Tang suddenly felt palpitation yesterday and couldn't sleep well all night. Today his eyelids kept twitching, and he wandered around the palace in a daze. When he came back to his senses, he forgot where he was for a moment. When he looked up, he had arrived at the Li Zheng Hall by accident. door.
Behind him, Chen Jinjue watched Emperor Tang looking thoughtfully at the gate of Lizheng Palace, and cautiously whispered -
"Master, would you like me to go in and report?"
Emperor Tang was interrupted from his thoughts by the little eunuch's voice, and he sighed softly and said, "No need."
After saying that, Emperor Tang went straight to the palace.
Queen Wang was not inside at this time. Seeing Emperor Tang coming, the palace maid hurriedly informed her master in three steps at a time.
Standing in the hall, Emperor Tang's thoughts kept interweaving between the past and the present. Once upon a time, I loved this place so much - when I first ascended the Dragon Seat, the whole palace was filled with panic, and the entire New Tang Dynasty was in danger. No matter whether he was in the court or in the palace, he could not be at peace. Only here could he sleep peacefully. He sleeps soundly, and that woman is naturally the person he talks to on his pillow. This is his only paradise and gentle home.
But she was obviously a good wife who shared all the hardships, but now she is a stranger to her. Why is this? Is it because that Hu girl broke her heart? Has she become greedy? still…...
None of this mattered anymore. After all, he had failed her. Besides, as the king of a country, what happened after death... was far more important than what happened in the past.
...
"Why didn't you inform the guild in advance when the Holy One came to this temple? I would like to welcome the Holy One at the entrance of the temple!"
The intellectual voice of Queen Wang came from a distance. Emperor Tang put down the crystal carving in his hand and watched Queen Wang walk up to him with gentle steps and bowed respectfully. Emperor Tang said lightly -
"I was just wandering around the palace, and somehow I ended up here, so I came in to take a look."
"It is my blessing that the Holy One can come to my concubine."
"The Queen's blessing is indeed great." Emperor Tang's tone was lukewarm, making it difficult to tell whether he was happy or angry. Then, as if he was talking about common things, he said: "I heard that Young Master, thanks to the Queen, wants to join the army to get a job?"
The queen did not show any fear this time and replied with a smile: "Yes, nothing can be hidden from the Holy Master's discerning eyes, but... this time it is indeed Shao Jing who passed the selection based on his own ability, and I did not show up."
"Well, yes, it's a good thing. He can just say hello to Chang Zhishan wherever he wants."
"For your words, I would like to thank you first for Young Master."
"Queen, don't be too busy thanking me..." Emperor Tang still maintained his politeness on the surface, but his tone was much more serious. He said slowly but with dignity: "If he really joins the army, his dandy temperament should be reined in."
Queen Wang was shocked - did the Holy One really come to me unintentionally? Why do you feel that the Holy One is doing it unintentionally and intentionally? Could it be that something Shao Jing did was known to the Holy One?
Seeing the queen's surprised look, Emperor Tang didn't bother to figure out whether his wife was sincere or pretending. He said bluntly: "I heard that Shao Jing met the son of Hu Nu at the foot of Qian Niu Mountain yesterday. There was some minor friction..."
Queen Wang's face instantly turned pale, as ugly as she wanted, and a lot of cold sweat suddenly broke out from her back. She quickly explained: "I have a lax family tradition and lack of discipline. I will definitely reprimand the third child in the future and let him... ....."
Looking at the panicked look of his married wife, Emperor Tang said with a friendly smile——
"It's just kids playing around. Young people always act on their own initiative."
How could the queen dare to look directly at Emperor Tang at this time? She only felt a chill running down her spine.
"Yes, yes, what the Holy One said is absolutely true. Shao Jing is so hot-blooded and will always be competitive when meeting outstanding peers..."
"I remember what you did to his mother back then because of Mr. Wang's kindness and I won't care about it with you..."
Emperor Tang's expression changed at every turn. At this moment, he suddenly stopped smiling, took a sharp turn at a right angle, and unceremoniously moved the topic to another matter. Although he didn't have angry eyes, he had an aura of calmness and authority at the moment.
"Your Majesty! My concubine..."
The Queen was so frightened that she immediately knelt on the ground. The maids and eunuchs behind her were also frightened. They had never seen their master with such a timid side. Their legs went weak and they knelt down. , I didn’t even dare to take a breath.
Emperor Tang lowered his head and looked at the woman's fearful expression, as if he was waiting for her to continue -
Yes, he did like the spirituality of Queen Wang, who could always grasp his own thoughts keenly, but he was also afraid of this spirituality, for fear that everything she created for him would be an illusion, an illusion to deceive him... ..
The air seems to be frozen, and time seems to have stopped...
Emperor Tang just looked at his 'beloved wife'... and even enjoyed the feeling of others surrendering.
After an unknown amount of time, Emperor Tang sighed softly, feeling that he was a little too cruel to this daring and treading on thin ice, and finally couldn't bear it in his heart.
"Let him let the past pass..."
Emperor Tang bent down and stretched out his hand to help Queen Wang up. He said softly——
"The queen is a mother who respects the world and respects the whole world. She must be kind and kind. If I really get the wrath of thunder, I'm afraid the queen's face will not be easy."
"I, my concubine, will obey the teachings of the Holy One!"
"Haha, get up."
Emperor Tang returned to his friendly smile. Queen Wang used all her strength to stand firm, trying her best to hide her slightly trembling legs. At this time, Emperor Tang's smile seemed to her like a delicious and sweet poison, just like a bottle of crane-top red contained in a delicate bottle carved with Dushan jade.
She is becoming more and more unable to see through this husband, and the more this happens, the more terrifying Queen Wang feels about this man——
Sometimes it is so radiant and masculine that it seems that all the dirty and evil energy of time cannot invade...
Sometimes there is something extremely feminine, like a poisonous needle hidden in the cotton, which can kill people at any time. Even if it is distant, people around it cannot escape its control. The so-called sacred heart is unpredictable...
Emperor Tang naturally didn't care about the Queen's thoughts. Seeing the Queen walking on thin ice, he knew that his goal had been achieved.
So, Emperor Tang said -
"The northern barbarians at Tianmen Pass are ready to make a move. I still have important things to do, so I won't stay with you for a long time. I hope you... can take care of yourself."
"I respectfully send you to Your Majesty!"
...
"water!"
Seeing Emperor Tang leave the palace, Queen Wang sat limply on the chair. When she leaned back against it, she felt that her back was wet with sweat. Queen Wang tremblingly took the tea cup handed by the palace maid and swallowed a few mouthfuls. Suddenly, several familiar faces flashed before his eyes - Prince An, Prince Ding, Prince Zhuang... These people can all be called heroes, including the biological brothers of the same mother as the Tang Emperor. What's the result? Everyone walked in front of Emperor Tang...even...even his own infant daughter...
Yes...what do these people mean in front of this man? Wuqing was always an emperor's family. Not to mention his brothers, even his own flesh and blood was nothing more than a chess piece.
Thinking of her daughter who died unexpectedly, Queen Wang, who had always been strong, felt inexplicably uncomfortable.
Tenderness, motherly love, regret, and longing were all mixed in the tears in her eyes, and then quietly slipped down her cheeks.
The maid next to her was secretly surprised. The queen had always been cold and ruthless. Why was she crying now? It's so heart-wrenching to watch.
But immediately, Queen Wang's eyes returned to their former coldness, and the remaining trace of warmth disappeared. She wiped away her tears and thought bitterly in her heart - then who am I? A medium for seeking political alliances? A meat vessel passed down from generation to generation? The relationship between the two is just that of two people locked in the same palace. How can I give up after finally surviving until now?
That vigor filled the Li Zheng Hall again, and with it came the overwhelming resentment and hatred!
The elegant and noble temperament has returned to this woman, and her extraordinary rationality has once again taken over. The queen stood up and said coldly——
"Young master, please come to me in surprise!"
