An Jiu shuddered, not understanding why the emperor suddenly asked this?
"I don't have any."
The emperor frowned slightly.
[I don’t believe it.] 】
[Why is my mouth so red without applying any makeup? 】
An Jiu: "..."
Is it possible that my sister is born beautiful? Your Majesty?
For the sake of a box of pearls, An Jiu now finds the emperor's thick eyebrows and big eyes very handsome and pleasing to the eye.
Even if she gets a little tantrum occasionally, it reveals a playful love.
The emperor pursed his lips and said nothing more.
It was An Jiu who told him what the tyrant said last night.
"Maybe he really wasn't the one who killed the person." An Jiu said.
The emperor frowned slightly and called Lin San, who was resting during the day, and it was Lin Qi who came.
"Has the body of Xiaohua been dealt with?"
Lin Qi nodded: "I will handle it according to your majesty's instructions."
The emperor asked: "Have you checked how she died?"
Lin Qi had a blank expression on his face, like a robot: "Your Majesty, someone broke his neck."
The emperor waved his hand, motioning Lin Qi to go down.
As soon as he left, the emperor said to An Jiu: "Did you hear that? This is my unique skill."
An Jiu thought, there are many ways to kill people. Just because you have a unique skill, it doesn't mean that others can't use it, right?
This is not a difficult way to kill.
The emperor stared at her and said, "Just because he made such ambiguous statements, you doubt that he is not a murderer?"
An Jiu paused.
The emperor's words were not without reason.
Isn’t the reason why a tyrant is called a tyrant because he was very cruel before? Since when did the tyrant seem to be just a pitiful and weird-tempered child in her eyes?
but……
An Jiu felt that a tyrant would not lie. If he did it, then it was him who did it. Even if he was confused at the time, he should have some impression of how many people he killed, right?
The emperor frowned slightly and looked at An Jiu deeply.
This guy really trusts me.
The reputation is so bad, and he said it wasn't true, so the fool believed it?
Even the emperor himself didn't believe it.
…
The emperor asked for a box of pearls, and this matter could not be hidden from the people in the harem.
Shufei and Defei all know about it.
At first, they also suspected that the emperor had a woman, because he had been a little suspicious recently.
However, the brochure sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs contained many good things suitable for women, such as expensive rouge and powder, expensive silks and satins, and expensive jewelry, but the emperor did not want any of them and showed no interest at all.
Both Concubines Shude breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems not.
That's good.
The emperor wanted pearls, perhaps just to play with them on a whim.
And the Queen Mother...
Sick.
After that incident, she never left the house.
The weather was bad recently, and the Queen Mother's small kitchen was burned. The Imperial Kitchen considered that the Queen Mother might not have much appetite, so her meals changed to steamed buns, dumplings, vegetables, and porridge...
The Queen Mother thought the food was crude, cheap and unpalatable.
Plus the boredom in my heart.
After all this operation, the Queen Mother fell ill.
She had a high fever and was unconscious. Prince Ruyang was worried and petitioned the emperor to visit her in the palace.
How could the emperor not allow it?
Then King Ruyang came.
Since he was here, the emperor, as a filial son, had no choice but to go.
The two brothers went all the way to the Cining Palace.
Prince Ruyang looked at the familiar palace and couldn't help but sigh.
"Brother, when I was little, I really wanted to play with you guys, but you and the other brothers didn't seem to like to take me with you."
An Jiu thought, of course, which eldest child would be willing to play with his younger brothers and sisters?
Moreover, this younger brother is a nasty person born by his stepmother.
It’s good enough that I didn’t beat you to death.
However, Prince Ruyang obviously did not realize this.
The emperor's thoughts were in a mess.
[I take you with me?] I get annoyed when I see you. 】
[You fell into the lake by yourself, and I saved you. Then you cried and said, it wasn’t my brother who pushed you, it was me who fell in because of my poor health…]
[The words are true, but the listeners don't think they are true. 】
[You have been a bitch since childhood, and you love to snatch things from me, as if I owe you something. 】
[The throne was passed down to me by my father. You and I are both his sons. How could it be that I am trying to snatch it from you? 】
[Is your name written on the throne?] ? ? 】
[If you have the ability, and you can be as smart, handsome, and pleasing to my father as I am, he will pass the throne to you. 】
[My father has already said that I am his most favorite son. 】
[Don’t you even look in the mirror? How dare you compare yourself with me? 】
【Pooh! 】
Whenever the King of Ruyang said something, he would complain about it in private.
When he arrived at the gate of Cining Palace, Prince Ruyang's voice was choked with sobs.
"Brother, can't you let me stay in the capital? I want to be with my mother more often, so that she won't be lonely..."
People who don’t know him would think that Prince Ruyang’s crying was pitiful and a sign of filial piety.
The emperor seemed to be completely immune to this Prince of Ruyang.
He sighed and said, "The Queen Mother's loneliness has nothing to do with you. If you are really filial, pick a few good-looking eunuchs and send them here. But be gentle this time, and don't let anything go wrong again."
Prince Ruyang: "..."
An Jiu clearly saw that Prince Ruyang's face twisted for a moment, and he completely lost control of his expression and noticed that An Jiu was looking at him. His expression changed in an instant, he wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and showed An Jiu a helpless and bitter smile.
An Jiu: "..."
Oh my god, I finally understand why men like Green Tea. An Jiu already knows that he is a Green Tea. But when he smiled like that, I couldn't help but sympathize with him for a second.
But it was only for a second.
Poor workers don't deserve to sympathize with the chairman's son.
"Royal brother, why do you say that? Aren't we brothers? Father asked us to love each other." Prince Ruyang was filled with the fragrance of tea again.
The emperor smiled and said, "Did I say anything too much? Am I not afraid that the Queen Mother will be lonely?"
Prince Ruyang stopped talking.
The Queen Mother was in a daze due to the fever and kept muttering nonsense.
The gatekeeper was so frightened when she saw the emperor and Prince Ruyang that she could hardly hold the plate.
The emperor looked at her and said, "Open the door."
The maid lowered her head and opened the door, and then the word "Decai" was heard by everyone.
An Jiu: "..."
She felt the atmosphere froze at that moment.
Except for the Queen Mother, everyone stopped breathing.
【Ha ha ha ha! 】
[I am dying of laughter.] 】
Only the sound of screaming chickens echoed in the courtyard, accompanied by the Queen Mother's repeated calls of "virtue and talent".
Prince Ruyang's face turned green.
He suddenly leaned against the door frame and laughed. Everyone was looking at him, but he seemed to be crazy and kept laughing.
After a while, he wiped the tears from his eyes.
"Brother, life is really hard sometimes."
The emperor looked at him without any expression and said, "I don't think so. If our status is difficult, then others should not live."
An Jiu nodded wildly.
I really don’t know why these rulers are being so pretentious?
Does Prince Ruyang feel miserable being away from the capital? How many people in this world are not in the capital, how many people are hungry and cold, he feels that his mother has abandoned him, he feels that it is difficult not being able to compare with his brothers?
Look at the people in this yard, except the emperor, who is not more miserable than him?
These people may not be able to see their families in this lifetime...
