Inner palace.
Yanfu Hall.
Zhao Zhen walked in a little lost.
Liu E wanted to scold him, but seeing her son's appearance, she couldn't help but frown and stared at Yin Wuyun coldly.
What's going on?
My son was fine when he went out, but he was like this when he came back.
She felt that it was Yin Wuyun's poor care that caused Zhao Zhen to encounter bad things outside.
Yin Wuyun couldn't explain it. He could only lower his head and dare not look at Liu E. His heart, like a pool of stagnant water, was filled with waves for the first time...
And this commotion comes from a shameless young man!
Liu E didn't get an answer, so she could only slow down her tone and look at her son: "What's going on?"
"Mother, my son has realized his mistake."
Zhao Zhen just lowered his head and said a little lonely: "My son will never leave the palace randomly again. Outside... my son can't understand. My son feels that he is so stupid."
"Bad maid!"
Liu E was angry and wanted to chop Yin Wuyun into pieces.
Her son has always been positive and sunny. Although he is a little timid, he has always been cheerful. But today, after leaving the palace, why is it so wilting?
If this leaves a shadow in my heart, what should I do in the future?
Yin Wuyun did not defend himself. He knelt down and lowered his head and said, "I am guilty. Please punish me, Queen Mother!"
How could Liu E still have the intention to talk nonsense with him?
"I don't want to listen to your nonsense! Tell me, where are the officials today? What happened? If you miss a word, go to Qiongzhou!"
Zhao Zhen was shocked by my mother's momentum, and then slowly came back to his senses.
"Forget it, I don't blame him for this."
He sighed and told the story exactly what he heard today: "My son believed him easily! He even felt pity for him... It must be him! But my son has no evidence!"
Frustrated, aggrieved, angry.
Zhao Zhen felt that he was just a stick, being played around by a little admonition. But unfortunately, he didn't even have a reason to be angry, and he even had to endure it and praise him!
If you want to say that Cao An is guilty, he is at most a scheming and treacherous person.
He can even attract dark clouds. If he is not afraid... even Yin Wuyun would like to die for his country!
Liu E was stunned for a long time, her eyes turned countless times, and finally she couldn't help but laugh.
"Ha ha!"
This was the first time since the death of the late emperor that she had laughed so heartily, without any parole, from the bottom of her heart.
Zhao Zhen was angry and aggrieved, and was about to cry. He choked and said, "Why is the queen laughing? Do you also think your son is too stupid?"
Alas, the doll is still too young!
Liu E shook her head dumbfounded, and said seriously: "Do you think Cao An deceived you?"
"yes!"
Zhao Zhen clenched his fists bitterly, feeling that he had fed the dog with all his heart!
I am so sincere to him that I even want to support him, but what about him?
"But do you have evidence?"
Liu E looked at Yin Wuyun on the ground.
The latter didn't raise his head, but he knew that this question was about him: "Your Majesty, forgive me, I was only concerned about the safety of the official family at that time, and did not... I made an oversight, and I am guilty!"
But who would have thought that after the first wave of drugged people were caught, there would be a second wave!
Crouching dragon and phoenix chick actually appear in the same game. Even the gods can't prevent this!
These two people are really competing against each other and cheating...
"This is interesting."
Liu E laughed again.
She took her son's hand and asked him to sit next to her, just like she had taught him when she was a child, her face full of traces of time and kindness.
"If the officials think about it from another angle, the initiator of this matter is actually you."
As Liu E spoke, she couldn't help but laugh again.
She didn't care about such trivial things, she just saw the fight between the two little kids as a piece of fun.
"Am I the creator?"
Zhao Zhen temporarily forgot his sadness and looked at his mother in confusion.
Liu E put away her smile and said seriously: "It is precisely because of your accidental appearance that Cao An escaped. It was also because of your appearance that he was able to take advantage of it and drug Zhao Congyue..."
In other words: Zhao Congyue missed one move and lost due to luck.
Who would have thought that Zhao Zhen would suddenly sneak out, and Yin Wuyun, who was responsible for the secret protection, would unexpectedly encounter those three stupid thieves!
In other words, if it weren't for Zhao Zhen, there's really no telling who would win.
If both players were drugged, it would probably be a tie in the end because Zhao Zhen... made Yin Wuyun neglect monitoring the field.
It was luck that allowed Cao An to win.
"so……"
Blame me?
Zhao Zhen's anger was gone and his face turned red from holding back.
Liu E paused slightly and said softly: "He deceived the officials, but if the matter were changed, would the officials admit it?"
"...I, I don't know."
Zhao Zhen's tone was extremely unconfident, and he obviously already had the answer.
No one else would admit this, right?
"He has staked the reputation of the Cao family. Unless the official family has conclusive evidence, no one can say that this matter is related to Cao An, otherwise..."
When Liu E said this, she felt a little appreciative.
Even the ancestors have moved out. Why, you don’t have any evidence...but you still hold on to her. Are you planning to beat her into submission?
Even if everyone in the world knew that Cao An did it, no one could refute it.
People who lie are certainly hateful, but being able to make lies more impeccable than the truth is a skill, and it is a superb skill!
"Besides, the officials also benefited, didn't they?"
Liu E pulled him, as if coaxing a child: "You didn't pay anything, but you took 30,000 gu in gambling money! These 30,000 guan... the palace can be a lot more relaxed."
"Can……"
Zhao Zhen wants to say that he doesn't care about money.
But it is also true that the palace's internal treasury is tight...
With this money, there are so many things that can be done. At least for a long time in the future, neither mother nor son will have to face Zhang Zhao's stinky face again.
This man is a Pixiu person. Every time the palace asks for money, it's like cutting his flesh.
"Moreover."
Liu E's tone was calm: "The officials have got Zhao Congyue's handle this time. As long as they hammer it a little, they will be able to deal with it freely in the future...including those around him."
Zhao Zhen was speechless and could only listen silently.
"You feel cheated, but you also benefit a lot from it."
Liu E continued to instill imperial thoughts in her son: "Including Cao An, although he is proud, he also knows that he is wrong! So he will restrain himself and submit to the magnanimity of the officials."
Zhao Zhen felt that his outlook on life was shattered and he stared at my mother in disbelief.
"The Queen Mother means that Cao An is not wrong?"
He really hoped that everything was an illusion...
What's going on?
Are there no normal people anymore?
"He made a mistake, but he made merit for his mistake! So, do the officials still think he is wrong? People in the world are never black and white. As long as it is good for oneself, wrong is also right! If it is harmful to oneself, right is also wrong!"
Liu E sighed and said softly: "You are the emperor! This country will eventually be handed over to you. If you cannot see through this early, you will suffer losses in the future."
A person who only knows right from wrong may become a hero, but he will never be a qualified emperor!
How can an emperor decide what is right or wrong?
They only look at the pros and cons…
