The man carried her all the way to the inner courtyard. When he reached the hanging flower gate, he saw Ah Lian and Lan Fu standing inside and outside.
Huan Ci hurriedly jumped out of Fu Shen's arms, cleared his throat and walked to the Chuihua Gate: "What's wrong?"
The red mark on her neck reflected in Ah Lian's eyes. Ah Lian frowned and turned back to look at Fu Shen. She saw the man walking slowly and hugging Huan Ci's waist, his expression still cold and serious when facing him.
"It's nothing, I'll go back first." Ah Lian turned around and started to leave.
Huan Ci grabbed his sleeve and pulled him aside, whispering to him in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "You are a man, you should take the initiative. Wait, I will help you." After that, she said
He walked to the Chuihua Gate and took Lan Fu's hand to lead her out, pushing the two of them outside: "I'll give you a day off. You can go shopping on Dao Street!"
The two looked at each other, and after a moment they went out one after the other.
Looking at their shrinking backs, Huan Ci was very pleased and raised his eyebrows proudly. When he turned around, he saw that Fu Shen's expression was not good.
"What happened to you today?" Huan Ci stepped forward and held his arm as he walked in. After taking two steps, he suddenly stopped and looked at Fu Shen suspiciously, "You don't want to leave Lan Fu behind."
Are you with me?"
"What did you say?" Fu Shen held her waist and forced her to come closer, "I won't be polite if you talk nonsense again?"
"What else do you want?" Huan Ci put his hands on his chest and tried not to look at the maids coming and going around him.
Fu Shen chuckled and whispered something in her ear. In the blink of an eye, Huan Ci's entire face turned red. The man had walked a few steps away, but she still didn't come back to her senses.
After a long while, a roar finally appeared in the palace: "Fu Xuanmo, you bastard!"
*
In the palace, the queen knelt at the foot of the steps, and Liu Rao stood aside with her child in her arms, her eyes filled with tears.
Zong Zhenglu sat in the chair and rubbed his eyebrows gently, exuding a violent aura.
At this time, the eunuch outside the door suddenly shouted: "The Queen Mother is here."
Zong Zhenglu suddenly opened his eyes and looked forward, stood up with a wave of his clothes, and carelessly glanced at the queen as he passed her.
The queen bit her lower lip lightly, her body trembling slightly, she clasped her hands and looked at the steps in front of her in despair.
"How is my grandson?" The Queen Mother hurriedly walked in and ran towards Zhongliu Rao. When she reached the woman's side, she hugged the little prince and looked at his pale smiling face, which became even more unkind. "Confused thing, I'm sorry.
I really made a mistake." She scolded the queen, her eyes particularly sharp.
But unlike before, the queen actually raised her head and looked directly at her this time, and then turned her gaze to Zong Zhenglu in an instant.
What happened today finally made her give up completely. She couldn't fight this woman, and Zong Zhenglu never left a way out for her.
She had already been framed once for the poisoning incident before. Today, Liu Rao directly framed her for killing the emperor's heir, but Zong Zhenglu did not doubt that he was there and scolded her angrily. Her father had already been demoted, and she had also
Not being favored, Liu Rao was not the only one who coveted her position.
She glanced at the Queen Mother lightly, put her hands on her forehead and kowtowed: "I have asked you to leave the palace and go to Hanyuan Temple to lead my hair and practice. Please do it for the Queen Mother and Your Majesty."
The Queen Mother is a daughter of the Li family in Jinyang. They have always been proud of her. Her niece who is about to be married has entered the palace many times in recent days, which may also mean the queen. It is a pity that their emperor is an infatuated child.
He didn't even look at the woman.
The queen closed her eyes and waited for Zong Zhenglu to nod, but she heard him snort coldly: "You want to leave after doing something wrong?"
"I hope your majesty will grant you permission," she said again.
Zong Zhenglu leaned back on the dragon chair, glanced at the people below the steps, and said in a deep voice: "It is my decree that from today on, the eldest prince will be raised by the queen, and ordinary concubines are not allowed to approach him without my permission.
"
"Your Majesty!" The Queen Mother and Liu Rao shouted in shock at the same time, and the Queen also raised her head in surprise.
Zong Zhenglu squinted at the queen, and opened his thin lips: "If the eldest prince makes any mistakes again, I will never forgive you lightly."
At this moment, the queen finally came to her senses and turned to look at Liu Rao. She looked at the other person's eyes that were almost filled with anger and then gradually turned around. Zong Zhenglu was protecting her and the eldest prince.
"Your Majesty, the eldest prince is less than a hundred days old, how can he be raised by the queen? You are making things difficult for me." Liu Rao was stunned for a while before kneeling down and said.
Zong Zhenglu's eyes slowly moved from her face: "I don't want to say it a second time."
As soon as these words came out, even the Queen Mother was a little surprised. She often advised Zong Zhenglu to get wet with rain and dew, but he never refused to listen. He doted on this woman to the point of being lawless. Why did he suddenly get the idea today?
She looked down at Liu Rao and saw that the woman's face was pale and she looked very pitiful. She was about to plead for her, but she heard the woman muffled: "I obey the decree."
Liu Rao knelt to the Queen's side and said in a tearful tone: "I hope the Queen can treat this child well and not let what happened today happen again."
She made a mistake today, and she would not suffer any loss if she temporarily handed the child over to the Queen. She didn't believe that the Queen dared to do anything. As for the child, if he played some tricks in front of Zong Zhenglu in a few days, the man would surely soon
