"Queen, do you even doubt us?"
After Zhu Yuanzhang quickly searched Chongzhen's memories, not only did he not find the scene where Chongzhen and Zhou Hou were discussing the next line of the poem, he also found no memories related to it.
He couldn't confirm whether there was an omission in his memory or whether there was really no next sentence, so he tried to retreat and tried to brush it off.
Unexpectedly, Queen Zhou glanced at him with a resentful look on her face and moved closer to him.
A faint fragrance hit his nose, making Zhu Yuanzhang quite uncomfortable.
He instinctively wanted to avoid it, but then he thought that Chongzhen and Zhou Hou had always been close, so this matter was not considered out of bounds.
Especially since Zhou Hou had suffered a lot in the past when she was solely responsible for the overall situation, with Chongzhen's love for Zhou Hou, she would never dodge at this moment.
Moreover, he also felt that the reason why Zhou Hou was suspicious was that he acted a little distantly when he helped Zhou Hou up before. If he avoided it now, the other party might not be as simple as suspicion.
So he suppressed his throbbing and was about to speak to relieve the embarrassment, but he never thought that Zhou Hou's delicate body would come close to her again and twist her body slightly.
Zhu Yuanzhang was suddenly attacked at this moment, and he couldn't help but feel a little angry. He was about to get angry, but he found that Zhou Hou's delicate body seemed to be trembling slightly, and then he said with a disappointed look: Your Majesty, have you really forgotten..."
Before Zhou Hou finished speaking, two lines of tears had already burst into his eyes.
Zhu Yuanzhang knew that Hou Zhou had always been dignified and never did anything that exceeded the rules. When he saw this, he couldn't help but be slightly startled.
Then he secretly observed again and saw that everyone had the same expression, and he couldn't help but think more highly of Queen Zhou.
It turned out that although Empress Zhou was very close to Zhu Yuanzhang at this time, because of her excellent sense of proportion and the fact that Fei Zhen'e was blocking her, it seemed to outsiders that the two were just talking in secret.
This not only achieves the purpose of testing, but also does not lose face and shows good intentions.
Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to understand this and knew that if he didn't tell the truth today, Zhou Hou would never give up.
He thought for a moment and decided to deal with it with a nonsense.
Because in this way, even if Chongzhen has not said it, or what he said is different from Chongzhen, it can still be explained as a recent idea, or it can be said that the previous poem is inappropriate and a new sentence is found. It is always better than saying that there is no such thing and blocking the way back. Good.
As he thought this, a few lines of poetry suddenly popped up in his mind.
After a brief analysis, he denied them all.
It turns out that although Zhu Yuanzhang was able to compose poems, he tended to be of the heroic style. However, Chongzhen's poems clearly tended to be of the charming style among flowers, which was not his specialty.
Just as he was thinking anxiously, Queen Zhou moved closer and exhaled softly: "Your Majesty, you promised to be my concubine before..."
Although Zhu Yuanzhang had the mind of an old man, his body was still in his prime. Under Zhou Hou's deliberate probing and the influence of the other party's special identity, his mind was a little confused for a while, and he instinctively avoided some.
Although Zhu Yuanzhang reacted instantly and made amends immediately, while feigning anger and scolding Wang Dehua for covering up.
But Zhou Hou had discovered this keenly, and his expression immediately became a lot colder, with murderous intent looming in his eyes, and he made no secret of it.
When Zhu Yuanzhang saw this, he secretly complained in his heart. He continued to reprimand while thinking of ways to remedy the situation.
Because he was multitasking, there were many omissions in his words.
Fortunately, Wang Dehua wanted to wait for reinforcements and did not want to have a conflict at this moment. In addition, Fan Fucui and others were blaming others, so no one noticed anything unusual.
Just when Zhu Yuanzhang was secretly rejoicing, he suddenly found that Zhou Hou's slightly trembling body had returned to calm.
"Could it be that her previous trembling was not to tempt us, but because she failed to control her emotions?"
When Zhu Yuanzhang thought about this, he immediately thought that Chongzhen had always abided by etiquette, and it would be impossible for him to be so close to the Queen of Zhou in front of others.
Previously, due to his status, he only generally accepted the memories of Chongzhen's harem and did not pay attention to the details of their interactions.
At this moment, he was suspicious and knew that the matter was of great importance, so he put aside his worries and quickly searched for the scenes of Chongzhen and Zhou Hou getting along.
Since Chongzhen had a lot of memories and many beautiful scenes, and time was tight, Zhu Yuanzhang only selected some representative scenes for analysis.
analysis.
Judging from these memories, although Chongzhen favored Zhou Empress, Tian Guifei and others, he strictly abided by etiquette and law when he was away from home and never exceeded the rules.
Only when they were having fun in the palace, they occasionally behaved wildly.
After Zhu Yuanzhang clarified the matter, he knew that he had gone into a misunderstanding and had already been plotted by Empress Zhou.
In fact, there wasn't much of a problem with his previous move to help Zhou Hou. Even if there was a problem, it wasn't that he was too distant, but that he was too close.
Just because he had the tragic experience of losing his wife in middle age and losing his son in his later years, he did not want to lose the happiness of family relationship again, so he used Chongzhen and Zhou Hou's boudoir happiness as a guide, in order to eliminate Zhou Hou's suspicion.
Because he had an affair in his heart and did not understand Chongzhen's palace affairs, he fell into Zhou Hou's scheme and made many mistakes in the other party's temptations.
However, he was also a little strange, that is, with Zhou Hou's mind, he should have realized that he was not Chongzhen.
In this case, Zhou Hou should leave first and then wait for his move. Why would he show murderous intent?
"Is she unwilling?"
Zhu Yuanzhang thought of this and immediately took the initiative to approach Zhou Hou. He immediately noticed that the opponent's body was shaking slightly and instinctively dodged. Then he returned to normal and the killing intent in his eyes also weakened.
"As expected!"
After this test, Zhu Yuanzhang was convinced in his heart, and he immediately whispered: "Queen, we know that you have suffered a lot this time, and it is inevitable that you have some random thoughts!"
"But don't worry, as long as we are here and our Taizu protects us, our Ming Dynasty will last forever..."
After he finished speaking, he leaned a little closer and said softly and gently: "We will never forget what happened on that day. It is a pity that we have never been able to find a good sentence to match it."
"Do you think that plum blossoms are so turbulent that they are angry and shy..."
"Ah~ Your Majesty!"
After Zhou Hou cooed, she immediately used Rouyi to cover Zhu Yuanzhang's mouth, but she took it away as soon as the contact came into contact.
Then he said with a shy look on his face: "Your Majesty, this is too embarrassing, please stop talking..."
Zhu Yuanzhang felt relieved when he saw that although Empress Zhou begged softly, her expression had returned to her former dignity, and her delicate body was even more distant.
Just when he was thinking about how to deal with the aftermath, he saw Empress Zhou approaching and said: "Your Majesty, one of Wang Dehua's confidants has a concubine, and soon..."
After Zhou Hou finished speaking, he walked forward without waiting for Zhu Yuanzhang's answer, and nodded to Fei Zhen'e beside him.
When Zhu Yuanzhang saw that Empress Zhou had even told him such a confidential matter, his worries were relieved.
Immediately, he saw that Empress Zhou strongly reprimanded Wang Dehua, and that several of Wang Dehua's personal guards seemed to be ready to make a move, which made her even more relieved.
When he was about to step forward to distract Wang Dehua, he never thought that a civil servant suddenly rushed out from behind and stabbed Zhou Hou's waist and abdomen with a knife.
Zhu Yuanzhang was shocked when he saw this. He was about to step forward to rescue him, but was stopped by Wu Laoliu.
Just when Zhu Yuanzhang dismissed Wu Laoliu and was about to check Zhou Hou's injury, another scream came from behind him, and then he heard Fan Fucui's voice saying: "What a thief, you want to destroy the evidence!"
Zhu Yuanzhang heard the sound and just turned his head when he suddenly felt the ground trembling, and then heard the sound of rapid horse hooves coming from ahead.
"alert!"
"Protect......"
"Kill!"
Before Wu Laoliu finished speaking, Wang Dehua's sharp voice rang out: "Whoever can kill the person who pretends to be Your Majesty, I will reward you with a thousand taels of gold, and Your Majesty will also make him a marquis in the future..."
As soon as Wang Dehua's voice fell, more than a hundred people rushed over.
When Jin Shenghuan on the side saw this, he hesitated a little and rushed forward with others.
For a moment, there were flashes of swords and shadows in front of the Meridian Gate, and flesh and blood flew everywhere.
Originally, the combat power of the two sides was evenly matched, but due to the turmoil on Zhu Yuanzhang's side and the need to protect Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhou Hou and a group of civil servants, they gradually fell into a disadvantage.
