Chapter 352 Zhao Hede 13
"Zhaoyi is right."
"Need I tell you? Of course I'm right."
Zhao Hede grumbled angrily and slapped Yu Kezi in the face: "Have you taken the medicine?"
"I dare not ask anyone else to do it. I soak each piece in the medicine solution and then in the medicinal incense according to the recipe. There will be no problem."
Yu Kezi turned his head away as Hede's force hit him. He didn't forget to reply, but his eyes kept glancing at Hede's hand. Finally, he couldn't help but ask, "Is Zhaoyi's hand hurt?"
"Tsk, it doesn't hurt, but your face is too rough, it's really uncomfortable to hit you."
"It's my fault. I will take care of myself from today."
"Of course it's your fault. No matter how much you take care of your face, it's useless."
Zhao Hede grabbed Yu Kezi's hair with confidence, forcing her to lower her head. The distance between them was instantly shortened, and Yu Kezi's usually calm eyes finally showed ripples.
"Your eyes are the only thing worth looking at. They barely have a third of my charm." Zhao Hede touched the corners of her eyes with his other hand and smiled maliciously, "Especially now, when you're consumed by desire but can't find satisfaction."
"Zhaoyi, that's right."
Yu Kezi's expression did not change at all. Her drooping eyelashes covered her deep eyes, which were probably the pure black pupils inherited from her father. Usually, they looked like a pool of stagnant water, but occasionally made unintentional peepers wonder if there was a monster rolling inside, ready to eat people.
"Okay, tell your mother that when my sister goes to find her with the IOU, she will be able to die cleanly."
"yes."
Yu Kezi didn't care about her mother's death at all. She just lowered her head and didn't move, letting Zhaoyi get up and leave. Her long skirt brushed against her saluting fingers as she moved, and left as soon as it touched her.
My mother is dead, how can I become more useful? Yu Kezi looked at Zhao Zhaoyi's back and thought seriously, if I offer the position of queen to Zhaoyi, will she be willing to smile at me like she did today?
Or maybe give me another slap.
Yu Kezi had a dull look on his face. He raised his hand and covered the right cheek that Zhao Hede had just hit. He suddenly stood up and walked out.
The palace maid Fan who was guarding outside didn't understand what was going on, but when she saw her leave, it was naturally her turn to go in and serve.
………
On the other side, Liu Ao and his mother were undoubtedly having another unpleasant conversation.
"Ao'er, I heard that you and the Queen haven't been getting along well recently."
Wang Zhengjun considered it over and over again, and decided to break the deadlock between the two with a less sensitive topic, but Liu Ao snorted disdainfully:
"I don't quite understand what you're saying, mother. When have I ever been at peace with the Empress? How come I don't know?"
"Ao'er! After all, she is your first wife. She has taken care of Yongxiang for you and given birth to your children for so many years. Even if she did something wrong for a moment, you shouldn't treat her so coldly."
"Since your Majesty Queen has nothing to do, I will take my leave."
Liu Ao was annoyed and just wanted to get over it quickly, so he turned around and was about to leave. Seeing this, Wang Zhengjun didn't care about these details and quickly told him her real purpose:
"Ao'er, your mother can be independent of the family affairs between you and the Queen, but why didn't you discuss Prince Gong's entry into the palace with me or your uncle beforehand?"
"The matter between me and the Queen is a family matter, and my ordering of Brother Kang to enter the palace is also a family matter. So if the Queen Mother keeps silent about the former, she shouldn't speak about the latter either."
"How can this be the same thing? Ao'er, you are not completely ignorant of what the Queen Mother Dingtao did back then. How could we know that Prince Gong suddenly entered the palace without the Queen Mother Dingtao's instructions?"
“That’s enough!”
Liu Ao glared at his mother angrily, even feeling a surge of disgust. "Mother, such a great Empress Dowager, naturally doesn't understand the feelings of ordinary people like us. Kangdi asked me for help so that he could grow old with his beloved, not for those dirty schemes and intrigues you talk about."
"Not to mention that Brother Kang and Empress Dowager Dingtao are inherently incomparable. Even now, Empress Dowager Dingtao is moved by the sincerity of Brother Kang and Concubine Zhao and personally presided over their wedding. But what about you, Empress Dowager? You still force me, the Emperor, to face a woman I detest every day."
Liu Ao raged with resentment, but when he looked up and faced Wang Zhengjun's helpless eyes as if she was looking at a crying and willful child, Liu Ao really wanted to curse himself and say that he deserved it.
Knowing the Empress Dowager's temperament, what's the difference between what he said and humiliating himself?
Oh, I am such a fool. If I had the time, wouldn’t it be better to accompany Hede to Shanglin Garden for a visit?
"I just acted impulsively. I understand what the Queen Mother said. If I encounter such a matter again in the future, I will definitely report it to the Queen Mother and the Grand Marshal first. I really have something else to do, so I will leave first."
After saying this, he ignored Wang Zhengjun's call behind him, turned around and left impatiently, and went straight to Hede's Zhaoyang Palace. He took Hede to Shanglinyuan that day and stayed there until Empress Xu was arrested for witchcraft, and then he had to bring Hede back.
Zhao Hede bid farewell to the hurried Liu Ao. Turning around, she saw the uncontrollable excitement on Fan Gongren's face. She opened her mouth and said to her, "Zhaoyi's chance has come!"
Hede glanced at Yu Kezi, who was following closely behind her with his head lowered, and put on a polite smile. "Really? I hope Palace Lady Fan will be able to enlighten me."
Palace maid Fan quickly supported Hede and said in a low voice, "If the Queen does something like this, she might even lose her life and bring trouble to her family, not to mention the throne."
"In terms of rank, you are the most powerful person under the Empress. In terms of family background, your father was granted the title of Marquis of Chengyang, and your brother was granted the title of Marquis of Guangbo. Even if you can't compare to Wang's former glory as Marquis of Wu, you are still more powerful than anyone else. In terms of favor, the Emperor now has only you in his heart."
"For Zhaoyi, isn't the position of Empress as easy as taking something out of a bag? Now, if you take the initiative to contact the Queen Mother Dingtao, she will definitely be willing to help you."
Zhao Hede raised her sleeve to cover her mouth and said in surprise while sitting on the couch, "If that's the case, this is a great opportunity. I'll leave everything to Palace Lady Fan."
Seeing that the Fan palace people were rushing to contact Fu Yao with great enthusiasm, He De turned around and looked at Yu Kezi who was kneeling at her feet with a smile. She shook her smooth instep, and the tinkling sound of the bells kept attracting Yu Kezi's attention.
Next, that white and tender foot kicked his skinny and shriveled shoulder:
"Stupid dog, what are you doing behind my back again?"
