Chapter 66 Like an Obedient Dog
When Zhao Yuan entered the Xuanming Palace, he saw such a scene. The emperor, who had always been meek and indifferent, was covering his face and sitting aside aggrievedly, while the empress empress with a beautiful face was actually occupying The main seat, occupying the emperor's usual cups of tea, sipping tea carefully.

Zhao Yuanzhang stared at this scene in a daze for a moment, ordinary people only saw the empress' disgrace, but what he saw was the willingness in Zhao Zongheng.

He sat at the bottom with his face covered, without any sign of being oppressed, he raised his eyes slightly to look at Si Ningchi with a smile in his eyes, as if he was enjoying it.

"Your Majesty." Zhao Yuanli stepped forward, lowered his head slightly and raised his hands in salute.

"Sit." Zhao Zongheng put down his hands, and Zhao Yuanzhang saw Zhao Zongheng's flushed cheeks at a glance, and she was probably the only one who could make a move on the emperor.

Zhao Yuanzhang's eyes fell on Si Ningchi again, and suddenly he felt the need to re-examine her.

Zhao Zongheng rubbed his face, looked at Zhao Yuanli and said, "How is Uncle Huang recovering from his injury?"

Zhao Zongheng did not avoid the Queen's intentions when he asked, Zhao Yuanzhang slightly lowered his eyes and said calmly: "A little injury is nothing to worry about."

"Is there any whereabouts of the assassin?" Zhao Zongheng frowned and continued to ask.

"There are clues, and we need to continue to investigate." Zhao Yuanzhang paused for a while and continued: "I'm afraid this matter is not simple, what I want is my life."

"Check." Zhao Zongheng's eyes were slightly cold, he raised his chin lightly and said: "Don't leave trouble behind."

"Yes, I understand."

Zhao Zongheng has never been an indecisive person, he has the ability to sit firmly on the throne, has he experienced few assassinations?
Si Ningchi listened with a half-knowledge, and didn't intend to ask in detail, seeing that Zhao Yuanzhang seemed to have something to discuss with the emperor in detail, Si Ningchi got up on his own initiative, excused that he was tired, and turned his head to the side hall to rest.

Zhao Yuan saw that Si Ningchi had gone to the side hall, which was supposed to be the place where the emperor had a rest. The emperor never wanted others to come and go at will, but he had no intention of obstructing Si Ningchi at all.

"Is the emperor really moved by the empress?" Zhao Yuanzhang asked Zhao Zongheng, turning his head slightly.

"I don't know." Zhao Zongheng answered very casually. Looking at Zhao Yuanzhang's expression, he bent his lips and said with a smile: "Why do you have to make it so clear, it's good."

Zhao Yuanli couldn't help laughing when he heard the words, seeing Zhao Zongheng's expression, he couldn't help laughing and said: "The emperor's temperament has remained the same for many years, don't you worry that the queen's heart has gone elsewhere?"

Zhao Yuanli slightly raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "I vaguely remember that the empress does not want to stay in the palace for a long time."

The smile on Zhao Zongheng's lips dissipated little by little, and the hand holding the cup unconsciously tightened a little, and was speechless for a while, Zhao Yuanzhang looked at Zhao Zongheng's expression and stopped talking.

There are some things that he has to figure out by himself, he is just an outsider, and he doesn't want to interfere in this matter.

"When is the emperor going to move back to the palace?" Zhao Zongheng changed the topic and asked Zhao Yuanli's next plan.

"..." Now it was Zhao Yuanli's turn to be silent.

"A few days ago, I heard that Uncle Huang and Miss Si Jiaji got close." Zhao Zongheng looked up at Zhao Yuanlan and said, "Si Jia, what's wrong?"

Zhao Yuanli shook his head, and said in a low voice, "I'm also investigating, this girl is approaching on purpose, I don't know what the purpose is, the daughter of the Si family has become a queen, I don't know why she is approaching me now."

Zhao Yuanli looked sideways at Zhao Zongheng and said, "Could it be ordered by the queen?"

"Heh..." Zhao Zongheng shook his head with a smile and said, "The queen's biological mother died, and she has no friendship with her stepmother, and she has no relationship with that step-sister herself. I heard that the step-wife of Marquis Xiwu was once a concubine wife, and she concealed the death of her wife for many years. It is not easy for Xi Wuhou, the successor wife, to be able to bear the plan and not expose it for many years."

"With a mother like this, that step-miss and uncle must deal with it carefully." Zhao Zongheng's eyes darkened, talking about the look of disgust in his step-wife's eyes.

"Yes, I will deal with it carefully." Zhao Yuanli lowered his eyes, and his expression was not very good-looking.

The two uncles and nephews were talking in the main hall, while Si Ningchi was sleeping soundly in the side hall.

Since the last time Meizhi was expelled, all the maids and eunuchs serving in the side hall of Xuanming Palace have been honest. After Meizhi left, Qianer, who was originally the second maid, was promoted, and now she has become the head of the palace. number one.

Xi'er can be regarded as the little palace maid brought up by Meizhi, but after Meizhi was expelled, she didn't even ask. Many people secretly scolded Qian'er as a white-eyed wolf. She will be punished by the emperor, and now that he is gone, she doesn't even ask a question.

"It's really knowledgeable, look at her dog-legged appearance." Three or two court ladies gathered under the tree and whispered together, looking at Xi'er who came out of the palace with a basin, and mockingly said: "Give your attention to the queen!" , how can you still remember how kind sister Meizhi was to her back then?"

"It's really not worth it for Sister Meizhi." The other person gritted his teeth, turned his head and said, "If it wasn't for her, why would Sister Meizhi be punished, but she took advantage of it and really took herself seriously."

"Even if you are holding the empress, the empress may not take a second look at her."

"what……"

Those small voices came, and Xi'er looked up at them.

The few little maids who were still talking shut up instantly, and stood obediently with their heads lowered, so they dared to speak in private, and no one dared to say anything in front of Qian'er.

Xi'er stared at them coldly, turned and left without saying a word.

In the hall, Si Ning Chi was leaning on the soft couch, with melon and fruit snacks in hand, Su Yun was kneeling on the cushion and kneading her calves, Shen Ting bent over and carefully held the plate, so that Si Ning Chi could spit out the seeds.

Qian'er came in, and what she saw was such a scene, what a noble person the empress is, who is sitting upright like the stars holding the moon, and only such a noble person will be harmed...

"Your maidservant sees the empress." Xi'er came forward with the pastries, knelt down and held up the plate and said: "The desserts that the empress wants to eat are brought."

"Hmm..." Si Ningchi raised his eyes lazily, looked at Qian'er who was kneeling respectfully, bent his lips and said, "I don't want to eat anymore."

"It's a bit boring, let's cook a bowl of soup for Bengong." Si Ningchi suddenly felt a little greedy when he thought of the pear soup that Zhao Zongheng ate just now.

This back and forth has already ordered her to do so many times, Qian'er lowered her head and responded without any sign of displeasure, as if she had an attitude of letting her be driven, and she was full of flattery towards the queen.

Si Ningchi looked at her like an obedient dog, suddenly lost interest, and waved her to get out.

When the pear soup was delivered, Si Ningchi was already a little drowsy, seeing the sweet and sweet taste of the soup brought by Xi'er managed to cheer her up.
