PS: Thanks to book friend Hua Xiaoyun for the tip.
"Queen, just say it, I won't blame you."
When he said this, Zhu Youjian's face was already very ugly.
If the queen who had been with him for many years could be so worried, he could guess that it was definitely not a good thing.
After much hesitation, Empress Zhou said, "My concubine's father hopes that your majesty will issue a decree to order the Nanjing court to surrender to the Tiger Flag."
Snapped!
The bowl in Zhu Youjian's hand fell into the wooden basin and hit other dishes.
"Your Majesty, please calm down. My father is guilty. I will never protect you. Your Majesty, please take care of your body. Don't let your father's stupid words make you angry." Queen Zhou knelt down on the ground. .
Zhu Youjian's expression changed again and again.
Finally, with a long sigh, he said: "Queen, please get up, I don't blame you."
"Your Majesty, are you really okay?" Queen Zhou looked at Zhu Youjian nervously.
Facing the man who has been sleeping with her for many years, she understands his ambitions very well. Now that the Ming Dynasty is in ruins, how can she not know the pain in her husband's heart.
"I'm fine." Zhu Youjian waved his hands, slowly leaned down, and put his face on his knees. After a while, he heard a cry.
Seeing this, Queen Zhou walked over and gently stroked Zhu Youjian's back with her hands, accompanying him without saying a word.
Zhu Youjian, who was in tears, rested his head on Queen Zhou's arms.
Two people clinging to each other.
After a while, Zhu Youjian's face left Queen Zhou's arms, wiped the tears on his face with his sleeves, and said, "I lost my composure."
"It's not your Majesty's fault, it's my concubine who shouldn't have relayed those treacherous remarks on behalf of my father." Empress Zhou took the responsibility on herself.
Zhu Youjian sniffed and said, "There are no outsiders here, and the queen doesn't have to cover up for me."
Queen Zhou did not persuade her again this time.
Zhu Youjian turned around, picked up a bowl in the wooden basin, and started washing it again. At the same time, he said: "If Uncle Jiading comes again, the queen will tell him directly that I am just a prisoner and can't give him anything. In the future, I will give him nothing." Don’t come to my place again.”
Although he had no choice but to do anything to his cheap father-in-law, he no longer wanted a father-in-law who had betrayed the Ming Dynasty and himself, and was begging for mercy like a tiger-shaped flag.
"I have made a note of it, and I will never let Uncle Jiading enter our home again, let alone contact him again." Empress Zhou did not even call her father, and directly addressed her as Uncle Jiading, indicating that she had severed the relationship between father and daughter. Firm attitude.
Hearing this, Zhu Youjian hesitated.
I thought that it would be too much to break off the father-daughter relationship between the Queen and Jiadingbo. However, I then thought about what Jiadingbo wanted to do. To him, it was a betrayal. He would never accept someone who had betrayed him. As a minister, it is better not to have such family affection.
"Wash the dishes!" Zhu Youjian simply replied to Queen Zhou.
After hearing this, Queen Zhou felt gloomy in her heart, and she understood the hatred that her husband, who was also the former emperor of the Ming Dynasty, had for her father.
There were only a few sets of bowls and chopsticks in the wooden basin.
If it hadn't been for Jiadingbo's incident, the dishes and chopsticks in the wooden basin would have been washed long ago.
The washed dishes and chopsticks were packed by Queen Zhou through the wooden door, brought into the house, and placed in the cupboard in the outhouse.
Since the last servant Wang Chengen around them was taken away, all the work in the family fell on her, and Zhu Youjian had to sweep the streets every day in exchange for a meager income.
Perhaps it was Jiadingbo's incident that made Zhu Youjian angry.
After returning to the house, Zhu Youjian remained silent. Even when he got on the kang at night, he ignored Queen Zhou.
When he was still the emperor, he had to deal with official affairs after dark, and he would be busy until late every day before going to bed. Now that he no longer has to deal with government affairs, he goes to bed early every day.
When it gets dark, he can't even light an oil lamp now.
In his sleep, Zhu Youjian vaguely heard someone knocking on the wooden window of his house.
"His Majesty!"
When Queen Zhou woke up, she huddled in Zhu Youjian's arms and held one of Zhu Youjian's arms nervously.
Zhu Youjian, who was equally nervous, patted Queen Zhou's shoulder gently with his hand to comfort the person in his arms, while he looked nervously at the wooden window, not daring to make the slightest sound.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"
After a while, a quiet call came from outside the wooden window.
The sound was not loud, but it could be heard clearly by Zhu Youjian, who had already woken up in the room.
Several calls from His Majesty made Zhu Youjian's heart move.
It had been a long time since he heard such a title from someone other than the Queen.
Empress Zhou, who was hiding in his arms, poked her head out of her arms and said, "Your Majesty, it seems that someone who is not a tiger thief is here to kill someone."
The reason why I was scared just now was that I was worried that Tiger Character Banner would secretly send someone to kill Zhu Youjian, the Ming Emperor.
When a new dynasty is established, the emperors of the previous dynasty often do not end well.
All along, she and the emperor had been worried that the people of the Tiger Character Flag would one day attack Zhu Youjian, and they would randomly find excuses to cover up the death of Zhu Youjian.
"Shh, Queen, don't speak yet." Zhu Youjian stopped Queen Zhou, and he just looked at the wooden window in the room without saying a word.
After a while, there was no more movement from the wooden windows, and no one spoke anymore.
Prosecutor Zhu You breathed a sigh of relief.
He didn't know the origin of the person outside the window. All he could do was pretend that he didn't know anything and didn't give Tiger Flag an excuse to attack him.
Bang!
Just then, there was a sound at the door of the outhouse.
Zhu Youjian was shocked when he heard the sound.
In the quiet environment of the night, the sound of the outhouse was very clear to his ears.
"His Majesty!"
Another call of "Your Majesty" came into the house, but this time the location was no longer outside the window, but behind the curtain of the main room.
Zhu Youjian understood that the person outside the house had entered the house and was separated by a curtain.
At this time, Queen Zhou was so frightened that she hugged Zhu Youjian tightly, and her body balled up.
"Your Majesty, are you here?"
"Who's out there?"
Zhu Youjian knew that he could no longer pretend not to hear, so he had to respond.
"Your Majesty, you are awake." The voice in the outer room was a little more joyful, "Chennan Town Fusi Hundred Households Xu Tong went to see the Supreme Emperor."
The words "Tai Shang Huang" struck Zhu Youjian's head like a bolt of lightning, leaving his mind blank.
It took a long time to realize that his other son had already ascended the throne in Nanjing, and that he, the emperor, was not the Supreme Emperor.
"Your Majesty, are you still here?" The person in the outer room asked cautiously without waiting for a response.
"I'm here." Zhu Youjian pushed Queen Zhou away from him, stood up and sat on the edge of the Kang, his face showed excitement, and he stammered and asked, "Are you here to take me away?"
I have signed in every day at the starting point of my fracture. I have signed in for 1,668 days. I have another year to complete the highest achievement of signing in for 2,002 days. But I don’t know what happened. I suddenly didn’t sign in one day more than ten days ago, and my fracture just happened. I found that I had no chance to re-sign, and the highest achievement that was so close was so far away. I sighed, what a pity.
