This matter makes me feel ashamed of Jiang Zhao.

If it weren't for him, Jiang Zhao wouldn't be like this.

At that time, he just thought of putting Jiang Zhao in the sky prison first to show off to the Queen Mother, and then release Jiang Zhao after the Queen Mother's anger subsided.

If he had been tougher at that time and refused the Queen Mother's request, Wei Xiang might not be what he is now.

The emperor sighed, then sat on the stool in the imperial study room, picked up a memorial and began to review it.

But after opening a memorial and reading just two lines of text, the emperor felt upset and couldn't stand it no matter what.

He changed another one at random, and the result was still the same. He could understand all the words in it, but after reading a line, his mind wandered elsewhere. How could he know what the memorial meant?

After reading two books and not being able to stand it anymore, the emperor simply threw the memorial aside in annoyance.

All he could think about now was Jiang Zhao. He wondered if the people in Jiang Zhao's mansion had taken good care of her when she returned to his mansion.

There is also an imperial physician. I sent him there for so long, why hasn’t he come back yet?

Could it be that Jiang Zhao's condition has worsened again?

Sitting on the chair, the emperor couldn't help but start thinking wildly. All he could think about now was Jiang Zhao's pale face when she was unconscious, and he didn't know how she was doing now.

The imperial doctor who went to diagnose the disease had not returned yet, so he wanted to go out of the palace to have a look in person.

"Wei Chengyun!"

The emperor shouted outside, and Wei Chengyun immediately pushed the door in from the outside and answered.

"Your Majesty, what's the matter?"

"Get ready, I want to leave the palace."

The emperor pointed at him and asked him to prepare.

But as soon as Wei Chengyun heard that the emperor was leaving the palace, his face couldn't help but change again and again, and then he quickly said in embarrassment.

"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother has said that you can only stay in the palace during this period and cannot leave the palace."

The emperor wanted to go out, but his mother was so smart that she blocked the way for everything he wanted to do.

But he really didn't want to just wait in the palace for the imperial doctor to bring him news. He wanted to see Jiang Zhao with his own eyes.

Only by seeing Jiang Zhao with his own eyes could he feel at ease. Otherwise, he would be uneasy no matter what he did.

But the Queen Mother had spoken, and no one dared to take him out. The only way to do this was to go to the Queen Mother.

Thinking about it, the emperor walked away, and Wei Chengyun hurriedly followed him, and then asked him.

"Your Majesty, where are you going?"

"Cining Palace!"

"Your Majesty shows off to the Cining Palace!"

Following Wei Chengyun's loud shout, the emperor's usual driver immediately stood up and followed behind the emperor.

As an emperor, you must have some unnecessary things!

The emperor ignored the group of people behind him and just walked quickly towards the direction of Cining Palace.

Before entering the Cining Palace, I saw the Queen Mother's personal maid from a distance, still standing there, with the palace door behind her closed.

The emperor walked over and said.

"I want to see my mother!"

I saw the Queen Mother's personal maid running down from the stage and saluting the emperor.

"The Queen Mother is ill and doesn't see anyone."

"You don't see anyone? Not even me?"

He didn't expect that the Queen Mother had expected that he would come to see him for the second time, and now she simply closed the door and thanked guests, and even his son was missing.

Sometimes, people are so smart that they really don't make others like them. Just like the current emperor, he doesn't understand that he just wants to go out of the palace to see Jiang Zhao, why his mother doesn't even agree to this.

.

The woman close to her shook her head and said, "The Queen Mother said that no one will be seen, including Your Majesty."

The emperor glanced at the closed palace door with a somewhat distracted look. His mother was so smart and sad at the same time that even he, the emperor's son, was missing.

He wanted to force his way in, but he was noticed by the personal maid with just a glance. The maid said very respectfully.

"Even if Your Majesty breaks in, the Queen Mother will not see you. It is better to save your efforts and go back to the imperial study to review the memorial."

The words of the maid will really drive people crazy.

He came from the Imperial Study Room, and because he couldn't read the memorial, he came here to find the Queen Mother and wanted to leave the palace.

"Tell the Queen Mother that if you can't see Jiang Zhao, I won't think about food and tea, and I won't even be able to read the memorial."

After saying that, he turned around and left without giving the maid any chance to refute him.

The maid looked at the emperor's leaving figure, turned around, opened the palace door, and walked in.

The Queen Mother was playing with her parrot inside. When she saw the maid coming in, she just asked lightly.

"He's gone?"

The female servant nodded: "Let's go. Before I leave, let me tell you something."

"What are you talking about? Let's hear it."

The Queen Mother asked while teasing the parrot with one of those thin bamboo sticks.

The female envoy lowered her head, and then said: "Your Majesty said that if he can't see Jiang Zhao, he will not think about food and drink, and he won't even be able to read the memorial."

The envoy told the Queen Mother exactly what the emperor asked her to tell her just now.

The Queen Mother, who was playing with the birds, stopped moving her hands and then asked:

"Did he really say that?"

The female envoy nodded: "There is not a single word difference."

Immediately, she heard the Queen Mother sigh quietly.

"This evil son of the Ai family has been doing well in everything in his life, so why did he fall into the hands of a girl like Jiang Zhao?"

The maid did not answer. This was not a question she could answer at will.

"Forget it, go and tell the emperor, don't tell me that the Ai family agrees to his leaving the palace in three days."

Although she didn't know why it took three days for the emperor to leave the palace, the female envoy was very smart and didn't ask.

Just to be in good health, I went down to prepare to go to the Imperial Study Room to tell the emperor the news.

The emperor was in his study room, facing a table full of memorials, feeling very upset.

He wanted to force his way out of the palace to see Jiang Zhao, but as an emperor, he was still an emperor with no power. He could not let anyone see that there was any rift between him and the Queen Mother to prevent the ministers in the court from taking advantage of it.

enter.

For the first time, he felt the sadness of being an emperor. No matter what he did, he could not follow his own will. This was true for the draft, and the same was true for leaving the palace.

But he was really uneasy if he was not allowed to take a look at Jiang Zhao.

Just when the emperor was thinking about how to sneak out of the palace, Wei Chengyun walked in from outside and said respectfully.

"Your Majesty, Aunt Chi from the Queen Mother's side is here."

The emperor did not expect that the Queen Mother's personal maid, Aunt Chi, would follow him so quickly after just returning from Cining Palace.

She came here at this time just to follow the order of the Queen Mother. She didn't know whether she came to rebuke him or what she came to do.

The emperor's mind turned over and over again, and he thought about the possible purpose of Aunt Chi's visit.
