Chapter 1422 The Foolish Empress 45
But Xining stopped halfway and waited...
An old minister took off his official hat, revealed his white-haired head, and shouted with a sad face: "The century-old foundation of the Chen Dynasty is about to be lost, and the old minister is remonstrating with death!"
After saying that, he aimed his head at a dragon pillar next to him and hit it.
Fortunately, the guard beside him who had been ready for a long time rushed forward and grabbed him with his hands and feet very quickly.
Xining sighed, and sure enough, it was still the case.
The eunuch in charge next to him said loudly: "Why did the censor order the submission? This angered Tianwei. From now on, he will be imprisoned in prison to reflect until King Duan leaves the capital."
The guards grabbed the minister who was about to hit the pillar, tied him up, and sent him directly to the prison.
Such a magical operation made all the ministers stunned. You were restrained and comforted, so why were you sent to prison like this?
Seeing the tightly tied old censor being half-dragged and half-carried out of the palace by two tall and strong guards, he looked embarrassed and a bit funny.
"There are plenty of vacancies in the jail. You don't have to kneel in the palace or hit the pillars. Anyone else who wants to go to jail can go." Xining waved his sleeves and really left this time.
Returning to the palace, after changing clothes, he leaned on the beauty's couch.
I have a bit of a migraine. I went for a long run last time. I’m tired! That's because I'm tired. A person has to fight with a bunch of old foxes who all have their own agendas. He has to be careful about the timing. It's no wonder he's not tired.
After a while, Concubine Zhao asked to see her.
Xining leaned back, closed his eyes, and said sadly: "Tell Concubine Zhao that my body has not recovered yet, and I will listen to his music someday. By the way, I secretly tell him that King Duan is currently assisting the government for my health. Those The old minister is ungrateful and still making a fuss. How can I act so dejected at this time? Think about his music carefully. I will definitely listen to it in the future."
I heard the chief steward over there say softly: "Your Majesty..."
Xining opened his eyes and saw the Queen over there.
The queen knelt down and saluted: "I didn't know that your majesty was unwell, so please forgive me."
"You're here." Xining waved: "Sit next to me."
The queen stood up and walked to the couch. The eunuch next to her brought a spoon, but Xining took the first step and patted the empty space next to her.
The queen sat down with a smile.
"Don't talk about forgiveness or not from now on. You are my married couple. Come and see what I'm guilty of." Xining closed his eyes again: "I'm so tired. It seems that I shouldn't be the foolish king these years. Maybe I won’t survive until now, I’m exhausted.”
The queen pressed her shoulders, as if chatting between husband and wife: "Your Majesty's shoulders are so strong."
"How can you win over this big Chen without being tough?" she joked.
"Your Majesty really knows how to enjoy hardships." The queen smiled and hesitated before saying: "I heard that there are already several censors who have gone to the prison to sit in the car."

"These idiots don't even think about such a good thing. Why is this old guy Weng Yushi still complaining of illness at home? Why doesn't he go to prison to eat prison food?" Xining sneered coldly.
"But..." The queen spoke hesitantly this time. After all, this is government affairs. According to the truth, no concubine can participate in politics: "If the emperor and his ministers are not in harmony, it is not good for the government."
"When have monarchs and ministers ever been in harmony?" Xining couldn't help but laugh: "Just like the people in this palace, every sister and sister, brothers and sisters, actually have their own plans, how many of them are sincere? What is your nature? Be kind, otherwise you wouldn’t have endured it for so many years. Don’t believe it just because those people changed their attitude towards you when they saw that you were gaining power.”
This world is like this, even if you are sincere, it will be slowly worn away by the environment. No matter what, it's better to protect yourself.
Seeing that she was tired, the Queen suggested: "Let me rub your Majesty's shoulders."
Xining thought for a moment, that's fine. So he sat up and turned his back to the Queen.
No matter how frail the queen is, she is still a man, with some strength in her fingers. Press it down and feel a little sore. "Hmm~" Xining made a nasal sound, and he quickly reduced his strength a little.
When the chief steward saw this, he winked a few times, and the people in the palace lowered their curtains and retreated outside.
"Is this good?" the queen asked.
"Well!" Xining enjoyed the star-rated service and asked leisurely: "In the past few years, I have been indifferent to you, do you blame me? Forget it, I still won't ask. Of course you answer that you don't blame me, but I still won't let you. You said something against your will.”
The queen responded: "It is a lie not to complain, but this is my fate. Fortunately, your majesty has me in your heart, and I am content."
Xining laughed: "You are a man, but you are talking about fate. I originally thought that only harem women can talk about fate. No matter how bad your fate is, it will still be your fate!"
The Queen was also amused: "Yes, Your Majesty."
After a while, he said again: "Your Majesty, you have lost weight and your bones are all out."
Xining asked jokingly: "My keel is fairly well-proportioned, right?"
The queen smiled so hard that she couldn't even close her mouth. After a while, he finally mentioned: "How can your Majesty not lose weight! Those ministers are still in prison. This matter will damage your Majesty's reputation."
"What a reputation for being famous. If I do everything according to them, then even if I have a reputation for benevolence, I will still be a fatuous king. The government cannot do everything according to their wishes." Xi Ning felt very comfortable. It seems that two medical women who specialize in massage are going to be prepared. She muttered: "When King Duan leaves, they will have no excuse. During this period, it is better to let them suffer in the prison."
For this reason, she ordered that meals in the prison be delivered as usual. No family members could visit the prison, and anyone who disobeyed the order would be executed.
These Yan Guan, who had to take a car even to go to the prison, really thought that she did not dare to imprison them, and they would surely suffer incessantly within three days. And King Duan will still have some time to leave the capital, so let them bear it well.
Xi Ning's shoulders were pressed to make him feel comfortable, and due to the tossing in the courtroom in the morning, he became sleepy and drowsy, and his body couldn't stop falling backwards.
The queen noticed it and hugged her boldly. Seeing that the empress had closed her eyes and leaned in his arms, she breathed evenly and fell asleep after a while.
When Xi Ning woke up, it was already four quarters to noon, and after a while it would be afternoon.
She was still lying on the beauty couch, covered with a thin quilt.
I stood up and stretched, feeling so comfortable.
The chief steward was outside the tent and could see her vague outline. Knowing that she was awake, he quickly brought the maid in and ordered someone to pass on the meal.
Xining wiped his face, washed his hands and rinsed his mouth: "When did the Queen leave?"
The chief steward smiled: "I sat next to His Majesty and stayed with him for a while before I left."
The queen is a scholar, thoughtful and affectionate. Cultivate some feelings first, and wait until the bold and thick-skinned body owner comes back to start.
Sit down at the table and start eating lunch: "Have you eaten at King Duan's place?"
"Eat!" the chief steward replied: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, everything is well arranged at the Dezheng Palace."
Xining thought for a while: "How many people are sitting in the prison now?"
"Here~" The chief manager thought for a while: "I will go and inquire about it now."
"Well!" Xining continued to eat: "Notify Jingzhao Mansion to count the number of people every day and report to the palace. As before, there is no need for preferential treatment. They will eat whatever the prisoners in the prison eat. Three days later, the prison The door doesn’t need to be locked, they can walk as they please.”
