After being a widow, the empress dowager was favored by the powerful ministers

Chapter 78

Liu Zhaorong bent down and picked up the painting, before she unfolded it, she saw a corner of the painting exposed, stained with a pool of red, she couldn't restrain her curiosity, and when she opened it, she saw a beautiful woman on the painting, But it was as if his body was covered in blood, which was strange and frightening.

Liu Zhaorong held her breath subconsciously, looked left and right, and after confirming that there was no one around, and no one from outside would come in, she quickly rolled up the scroll, put it back in the box, and returned it to its original position.

The signature on the painting is the seal of the late emperor, so it can be seen that the painting was painted by the late emperor and it has been around for some years.

But those red traces like bloodstains on the top are brand new. It seems that the days should not be long, and they should be done recently.

This place is where the little emperor is, apart from him, no one dared to do such a thing on the painting made by the late emperor, not to mention that the woman in the painting is the empress dowager, Sheng Baoling.

Liu Zhaorong didn't dare to stay for a long time, lest the little emperor would find the painting he accidentally saw and left behind the sweet soup, so he hurried away with others.

She originally thought that the little emperor only had that special thought about the queen mother, but judging from this painting alone, it was not just that kind of thought, perhaps a little bit of murderous intent was mixed in it.

Liu Zhaorong couldn't help shivering, she couldn't imagine what the little emperor was thinking.

She had never seen such an awkward person, joy and killing intent coexisted.

Realizing this, Liu Zhaorong bit her lips tightly, she was simply a lunatic.

And now, she is dealing with the lunatic, and her words and deeds during this period are all to curry favor with this lunatic.

Liu Zhaorong didn't dare to think at all, if the little emperor really regarded himself as the queen mother and he was reluctant to kill the queen mother, what about himself, he was not Sheng Baoling, if he wanted to kill him, how could he avoid it?

At this time, Liu Zhaorong realized that things were far from as simple as she thought, and her life became a problem when she was with a lunatic.

But at this time, the little emperor who came back saw the food box on the desk and ignored it.

But when he sat down, he glanced at the shelf not far away, and saw the box with the opening facing inward. Now, the opening was facing outward. The box was removed and opened, only to see that the scroll that had been rolled extremely well was now a little unraveled.

It can be seen that someone has touched this scroll and seen the contents inside.

A bone-piercing chill flashed across his eyes, and his eyes fell on the food box. He put the things down, walked to the door, and asked in a deep voice, "Who came here just now?"

The servant who was standing outside was taken aback for a moment, "Returning to Your Majesty, it was Lady Zhaorong who came and brought sweet soup."

Liu Zhaorong has been favored recently, all the guests in and out of the palace knew it, so they just sent a sweet soup and left. These servants, they always act according to the face of their master.

Now that Liu Zhaorong is being favored, who knows who will be the master of the harem in the future, so he dare not offend.

So they really let people in.

The little emperor's brows were serious, and the chill in his eyes lingered even worse.

Seeing the chill, the backs of the two servants who let him go shivered, and there was a vague feeling that something was wrong, and he guessed in his heart that it was because of letting Liu Zhaorong in.

And just as the two of them expected, the little emperor changed from his gentle and kind-hearted demeanor in the eyes of outsiders in the past, and his voice was deep and cold, like a guillotine, falling on the necks of the two of them.

"Come here, drag him down and chop him up."

A sentence to end one's life is just an insignificant sentence to the little emperor.

The two servants cried and shouted, but they were still dragged away.

The little emperor returned to his original position and sat down. He opened the food box, and there was indeed sweet soup inside. His fingertips could touch the wall of the bowl.

Drinking such a sweet soup at this time must be very enjoyable.

But as soon as the little emperor took a sip, he frowned. This Liu Zhaorong, did you find anything?

These days, it's not that he didn't realize that Liu Zhaorong was intentionally imitating Sheng Baoling, but he didn't know her purpose for doing so.

But now, she has seen even this picture scroll, and she probably knows everything clearly.

This Liu Zhaorong, if everything is discovered, he cannot stay.

He has always been adhering to: rather kill by mistake than let go.

The little emperor was in high spirits, he threw the spoon back into the food box casually, and collided with the bowl of sweet soup, making a crisp sound.

...

Liu Zhaorong trotted all the way back to the bedroom, as if someone was chasing her, she turned her head frequently, just because she was afraid of bumping into someone she knew.

Her primary purpose of entering the palace this time is to pretend to be docile and obedient when Jin and Gao are fighting, and to stop with silence, so as to win her place in the harem.

Later, she thought, no matter why she was favored, the goal has been achieved, so it doesn't matter, and the next step is to control the little emperor's mind.

Previously Liu Zhaorong thought that he had indeed grasped the little emperor's mind, but now it seems that he did not.

The little emperor really hid it very deeply. If Liu Zhaorong hadn't changed his mind after discovering some things in the past few days, he might never have been discovered in this life. He is a lunatic.

If Sheng Baoling knows about this...

I'm afraid that the Empress Dowager and the little emperor, even on the bright side, can no longer pretend to be affectionate mother and child.

This idea suddenly came to Liu Zhaorong's mind, but after thinking about it, she began to feel that in this harem, no matter what she chose, it would be extremely difficult to survive.

...

At the end of April, summer has begun.

Jian Jia took a plate of chilled fruit and put it beside the table, "Madam, this is the fruit that was just delivered from the south today, and this servant just brought it to chill for a while, eating it right now, it's sweet and delicious."

Sheng Baoling had no appetite at first, but now seeing these bright red and translucent fruits, he suddenly had some appetite.

She pinched it with her fingertips, picked up a fruit and put it into her mouth. It was really sweet and delicious, she couldn't help but bend her eyebrows, "Is there any more?"

Jian Jia replied truthfully, "I heard that quite a lot of them were sent to the palace. It seems that a few trees will be planted here."

She thought it was a joke at first, but after going there, she found that those people had really planted the saplings, and there are still many more...

Thinking of Sheng Baoling's poor appetite recently, the melon and fruit looked refreshing and delicious, so he took some iced ones and sent them over, and he really liked it.

Sheng Baoling hooked the corners of her lips, "Send some to some officials in the court, so that they can taste it too."

Jian Jia stared at Sheng Baoling suspiciously, saying that he was an official of the imperial court, and that he should be seen by others. I am afraid that the master just wanted Mr. Pei to see him, so he pulled out the other ministers.

She had seen it through in her heart, but she didn't say it out of her mouth.
