Jinzhi opened the basket and carefully took out a plate of warm flower-shaped rice cakes, followed by a faint fragrance of plum blossoms.
Gao Hao glanced at it, not interested, and just rubbed his temples.
“Did she make it with her own hands?”
Jin Zhi nodded, her eyes bright.
“Yes, when the Queen Mother did it, the servant was by her side the whole time and never left for a moment.”
Gao Hao threw the memorial in his hand on the table and asked: "How about deposing the emperor?"
Jin Zhi replied: "The doctor Lu said that there is no serious problem for the time being, but he needs to have a good life and recover in the future." "
She paused and then added: "The Queen Mother is well versed in medical skills and takes good care of the deposed emperor. She has to personally inspect all the decoctions and medicines she takes."
Gao Hao shook his head, very surprised. Disdain: "I didn't expect that she was actually somewhat sincere towards that sick man."
Jin Zhi raised his eyes slightly, with a hint of meaning: "There are always times when it is impossible to guard against."
Gao Hao frowned and smiled: "Hasn't she always wanted to go out of the palace? It's not too late to get out of the palace."
Jin Zhi was surprised: "The Queen Mother wants to go out of the palace?"
Gao Hao Hao raised his eyes to look at her.
Jin Zhi's face turned pale, and he immediately lowered his head and knelt on the ground.
"Your Majesty, forgive me."
Gao Hao didn't look at her and just waved his hand.
"My slave, please retire." Jin Zhi respectfully withdrew.
Gao Hao picked up a piece of soft and glutinous rice cake from the plate, squinted his eyes and looked at it quietly, his eyes were very cold.
Despite her various displays of kindness, she seems to have really compromised, but in fact she has not changed at all.
That day she said that she would trick Gao Huan into the palace on the pretext of killing herself. After killing Gao Huan, she would then put the crime on the Empress Dowager...
It seems that all the designs are as expected.
But if the person sitting in this position today is not myself, but Gao Huan, does everything make sense?
"Your Majesty, the queen wishes to see you."
There is a report from the chamberlain.
Yuan Yun'e stepped forward and bowed respectfully.
"Why is the queen here?" Gao Hao put down the rice cake in his hand and spared her the courtesy.
When Yuan Yun'e straightened up, she glanced at the table inadvertently, and said gently on her face: "There are two things I want to tell your Majesty."
Gao Hao said lightly.
Yuan Yun'e said: "The ones your Majesty canonized the day before yesterday were all old people in the government. Your focus on political affairs is a blessing to Daqi, but you should not forget to spread the branches and leaves. I have ordered someone to choose a good family son. To enrich the harem, this is the list that was handed over to your Majesty.”
She lowered her head and presented the list with a very respectful look.
Gao Hao took it with one hand, without even looking at it, and threw the roster aside.
"Just take care of these little things."
Yuan Yun'e raised her eyes and saw that the emperor was only looking at the cakes on the table with a frown. , my heart couldn’t help but tighten.
That was clearly done by the Queen Mother.
Is it possible that the emperor was so cold towards the harem because of the queen mother?
Yuan Yun'e's heart was in a state of ups and downs.
She calmed down a little, and then said: "There is another thing. It will be Zhaoyi's birthday in a few days. You see-"
"Let's do it as usual." Gao Hao had no expression.
"Yes." Yuan Yun'e pursed her lips.
Gao Hao: "Is there anything else the queen has to do?"
Yuan Yun'e shook her head hurriedly and saluted again: "I will leave now."
"Wait." Gao Hao called her.
Yuan Yun'e raised her eyes: "Your Majesty, what else are you saying?"
Gao Hao raised his head and looked at her: "Why haven't you gone to talk to the Queen Mother recently?"
Yuan Yun'e didn't react for a moment and opened her mouth: "I..." Gao Hao said again: "I see, didn't you get along well with each other before?"
Yuan Yun'e couldn't figure out the emperor's intention, so she only said: "I have been busy with selection matters recently... The Queen Mother, the Queen Mother likes to be quiet, and I am not good either——"
"Who said she likes to be quiet?" Gao Hao raised his eyebrows, "That's because there is no one in the palace who can talk to her."
Yuan Yun'e was surprised and lowered her head quickly: "Yes, I will—"
Halfway through her words, she knelt down with a plop.
"Your Majesty, there have been rumors circulating in the palace recently, and you really can't let them go."
She rested her forehead on the cold jade brick, and her heart was beating fast in her chest.
After so many years of marriage, this is the first time she has disobeyed him.
Although I don’t know what the consequences will be, there is already a Concubine Lu, and there cannot be another Empress Dowager Liang.
Of course, even if there is something, it shouldn’t be made known to everyone.
Although the people above her were not angry with her, they did not forgive her either.
The palms of my hands were sweaty.
Frankly speaking, I am still scared.
After a while, the person above spoke calmly.
"Queen, do you know that if the Queen Mother hadn't interceded, maybe the post would not have fallen to you?"
Yuan Yun'e took a deep breath and slowly raised her head: "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother is different from Concubine Shu."
Gao Hao pursed his thin lips, leaned into the dragon chair, and looked at her leisurely: "How is it different? "
Yuan Yun'e said: "Do you still remember that Emperor Wenxuan named the Queen Mother 'Queen Kehedun'? "
Seeing that Gao Hao did not interrupt, Yuan Yun'e continued. : "As far as I know, 'Kehe Dun' represents the wife of the Khan. The Queen Mother is originally a Han, but why did Emperor Wenxuan give her this title?"
Gao Hao nodded and smiled: "The Chinese army is divided into the Han army and the Xianbei army. He naturally wants to win over her and gain the support of the Xianbei generals."
Yuan Yun'e fell to the ground again: "Your Majesty is wise."
Gao Hao bent down to help her up, stared into her eyes, and said meaningfully: "The queen doesn't know that the Queen Mother has repeatedly asked Gu to leave the palace, but you said Gu Can you agree? "
Yuan Yun'e looked into those deep black eyes and seemed to fall into a bottomless black hole.
"...Your Majesty?"
Gao Hao curved his thin lips, pulled her to sit beside him, and looked at her with a smile: "The queen has never had a child."
< br>
Yuan Yun'e's heart skipped a beat, and her hands and feet were cold.
Gao Hao took her hand on his own, placed it in his palm and patted it gently: "When the Queen Mother suggested that you be isolated as the Queen, she said that all the sons born to the Queen Mother are the Queen's sons. What does the Queen think?"
Yuan Yun'e's mind was blank for a moment, and then she nodded: "I know I feel guilty for not being able to give birth to an heir for Your Majesty, and I have failed to live up to Your Majesty's kindness. However, no matter which concubine in the harem gives birth to a prince or princess for Your Majesty, I must Treat her as yourself - go out."
Under the eyes that stared at her closely, she broke out in a cold sweat.
But somewhere in the body seemed to become transparent in an instant.
Gao Hao frowned slightly and let go of her hand: "The Queen Mother always wants to leave the palace, so her life here must be boring. What does the Queen think?"
Yuan Yun'e immediately stood up, knelt down, and fell to the ground. Bowing: "I have neglected my duties, and I will definitely live up to His Majesty's expectations."
Gao Hao wiped his hands, picked up a piece of rice cake, and leaned back into the dragon chair again.
Although it doesn’t look as beautiful as the Si Shan Si, when you bite it gently, it is soft and delicious, with a slight sweetness, and it is not greasy at all.
Obviously it was done according to his preference.
Yuan Yun'e knelt on the ground and silently watched him finish a piece.
Gao Hao took another sip of tea before looking at her thoughtfully: "Queen Cai said just now, how many days will it be Zhaoyi's birthday?"
Yuan Yun'e replied : "Yes, it will be in five days."
Gao Hao nodded slightly: "Let's do it well."
As soon as Yuan Yun'e left, someone stepped into the hall with his hind legs. (End of chapter)
