Chapter 38 The Emperor is very arrogant
The emperor could not stay away for long, so after arranging officials to take over the affairs of Yuzhou, Xiao Yu set out to return to Beijing.
On the day of departure, all the people in Yuzhou came to see him off.
They knelt down before the carriage, shouting "Farewell, Goddess!"
Liu Zhiyuan was so shocked by this name that she hid in the carriage and dared not show her face. She just lifted a corner of the curtain and peeked out secretly.
She saw the gratitude on those people's faces, saw their tears, and saw two pairs of mothers who had been forced to eat their own children, with their children, kneeling and bowing to her devoutly to express their gratitude.
Although the disaster has not completely passed, the bustle along the way is a far cry from the desolation when we first arrived. I believe that in another month or two, the crops will grow and all the suffering will be over.
Liu Zhiyuan's lips curled up slightly, revealing a sincere smile.
Xiao Yu was holding a memorial in his hand, but his mind was not on it at all. He caught a glimpse of the gentle smile on Liu Zhiyuan's face from the corner of his eye, and couldn't help but look at her in a daze.
Liu Zhiyuan lowered the curtains and turned around to see Xiao Yu staring at her. She immediately became alert and asked, "Why are you looking at me?"
He's not planning anything bad.
Xiao Yu was not at all flustered and calmly withdrew his gaze. "After returning to the capital, I will order a thorough investigation into the Liu family's corruption case."
Liu Zhiyuan suddenly became happy, "Who does the emperor plan to send to investigate?"
"Ministry of Punishment."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
The institution of Shenxingsi is mentioned in the novel. It is composed of the emperor's confidants who work specifically for the emperor and outsiders are not allowed to interfere.
Xiao Yu asked the Ministry of Punishment to investigate, and his attitude was clear: the investigation must be thorough and no one is allowed to interfere.
This way, she felt relieved.
Xiao Yu's gaze lingered on Liu Zhiyuan's face for two seconds before he casually looked away. "How are you living in the cold palace?"
"It's nice, few people, quiet."
It was not good at the beginning. I had no food to eat and almost starved to death. The conditions were also very poor and the windows leaked when I slept at night.
However, later on, Liu Dehai arranged for someone to deliver meals to her every day, and also sent her clothes. The palace maids also took away her daily laundry and sent people to clean the house. Her life became much more comfortable.
She didn't know if it was her illusion, but after he finished speaking, Xiao Yu's expression seemed to become a little colder.
Why is the answer not to his liking?
Xiao Yu changed his hand to hold the memorial, "I heard that the environment in the cold palace is not very good."
Liu Zhiyuan rolled his eyes to the sky and said, "Your Majesty, are you guilty of what you said? The cold palace is already called the cold palace, so how can the environment be good? If the environment of the cold palace is good, can it still be called the cold palace?"
Xiao Yu tightened his grip on the memorial and spoke slowly, "If you want to move back..."
Liu Zhiyuan interrupted him, "I live well in the cold palace, no need to move."
Although the environment is not very good and it is quite remote, it is quiet and there are few troubles.
It goes without saying that after returning to Beijing, Xiao Yu will order a thorough re-investigation of the Liu family's unjust case, which will definitely affect the interests of other ministers, and things will definitely not be peaceful at that time.
She was a pure and foolish college student, and she could not defeat those ruthless concubines in the harem, so it was better for her to stay in the cold palace.
Get through this period safely and wait until the Liu family is safe.
Besides, the weather is too hot, and the cold palace is cooler.
Xiao Yu looked unhappy when his kindness was rejected.
He snorted coldly, "Whatever you want."
Shameless.
It's a rare kindness that allowed her to come out, but she didn't appreciate it. She should just die in the cold palace!
From now on, even if Liu Zhiyuan kneels on the ground and cries and begs him, he will never let her out!
The atmosphere in the carriage suddenly turned cold, and Liu Zhiyuan looked confused.
What's going on? It's the hottest time of year, and there was no air conditioning in ancient times, so why does it feel so chilly?
Xiao Yu didn't speak to Liu Zhiyuan along the way, and his attitude was even colder than when he came.
Liu Zhiyuan didn't care, after all, she was not familiar with the Dog Emperor.
His Majesty the Emperor had a cold face for half a month, but because his usual image was moody and gloomy, no one noticed that he was in a bad mood.
As a result, His Majesty the Emperor's mood became even worse.
When we returned to the palace, the air conditioning had dropped the temperature of the entire Forbidden City by three degrees.
The carriage stopped in front of the palace gate. Liu Zhiyuan jumped off, pounded her arms and moved her legs. She was exhausted after sitting in the carriage for more than ten days.
Xiao Yu glanced at her expressionlessly and walked past her without saying a word.
"emperor."
Xiao Yu stopped when he heard Liu Zhiyuan's voice behind him.
With a look of disdain in his eyes, it’s too late to beg for mercy now!
Unless she kneels down and begs him, he will never let her out of the cold palace!
"What's the matter?" Xiao Yu raised his chin slightly, his face full of arrogance.
"Can I ask for a favor?"
Oh.
When she needed help from him, she knew to call herself a concubine. Why had I never seen her be so polite at other times?
"explain."
"I want to go see my father, is that okay?"
Xiao Yu's face darkened, "Is this what you want to say?"
"Yes, what else?"
"It's up to you." Xiao Yu waved his long sleeves and strode away.
You don't even know how to seize the last chance, you damn woman, you deserve to live in the cold palace for the rest of your life.
Liu Zhiyuan was very happy to receive the grace. He turned around and was about to climb into the carriage. It would be a waste not to ride in such a ready-made luxury car.
Liu Dehai was so disappointed that he said, "My queen, with such a good opportunity, why don't you ask the emperor to let you out of the cold palace?"
What a great opportunity.
The Emperor will definitely agree to the Empress' first request after she successfully prays for rain.
If you miss this opportunity, you won’t know when you will have the next chance.
Liu Zhiyuan frowned slightly, "I'm living well in the cold palace, why should I come out? Of course I have to visit my parents and brother first to make sure they are safe."
"Lord Liu and Madam Liu are under heavy guard, so nothing will happen to them. Even if something happens to them, the Emperor will surely receive the news immediately. If there's no news, it means they're fine. We can expect them at any time, so why rush them? There are priorities, and of course, getting them out of the cold palace is the most important thing."
Liu Dehai was heartbroken. "Your Majesty, you can't rely on the Emperor's current favor for you without considering the future. Since ancient times, many concubines have been unable to meet the Emperor in the cold palace, gradually forgotten by the Emperor, and eventually died of old age in the palace."
Your Majesty is confused.
Liu Zhiyuan was stunned. "Eunuch Liu, do you want to go see the imperial physician to check your eyes?"
"Why, my eyes are fine."
"Then how do you know that the emperor favors me?" There is definitely something wrong with his eyes!
Liu Dehai was speechless. "The Emperor's love for the Empress is truly pitiful. Doesn't the Empress feel it?"
Liu Zhiyuan said that she only felt that Xiao Yu wanted to kill her all the time.
When she was assassinated on the way to Yuzhou, the sword that Xiao Yu suddenly threw at her almost took her life. She still feels scared when she thinks about it now.
But Liu Dehai couldn't be blamed. After all, she was in reverse gear at the time and he didn't know.
Liu Zhiyuan didn't want to say much, "Eunuch Liu, can I trouble you for a favor?"
"Your Majesty, please give your orders."
"Please help me find someone to repair the cold palace. The windows are leaking and the roof is leaking. It's not very comfortable to live in."
Liu Dehai, “…”
See, Your Majesty, you brought this upon yourself. It would have been much better if you had just asked the Emperor to let you move back to Zining Palace.
