Farm widows have space, pick up a treasure on the way to escape

Chapter 448 He is old, but not stupid
The old emperor's pupils were dilated several times in an instant, and his face was filled with disbelief.

Of course the old emperor knew about this matter. When this matter reached Beiyan last year, some people always said that it was done by King Chen's people. Although he didn't believe it at the time, what happened to Prince Nantai was the most important thing to Beiyan. It was advantageous, and among his sons, only King Chen had this ability.

"If that's the case, why doesn't he take credit?"

The old emperor was a little puzzled. Logically speaking, someone with such a great contribution could come to him to ask for reward, but why not only did he not come, but he kept hiding it from the world?

He Jiuniang rolled her eyes at him and said, "Do you still need me to tell you the reason? Don't you know it already?"

Sorry, that really didn't happen, so the old emperor looked at her in confusion.

He Jiu Niang did not show off, and said: "It's because His Highness King Chen is not favored. Do his people dare to come to you to ask for rewards? Besides, because of your distrust of King Chen, you will definitely feel that he is doing this again." It’s a threat to your country, don’t talk about rewards when you lose time, just don’t find an excuse to kill people.”

She is really not afraid of the old emperor at all now, and she can say whatever she wants anyway. The old emperor is almost mad to death every time, but he also likes to listen to her.

Sitting in his position, there were not many people who dared to tell the truth to him. It was quite rare to suddenly meet someone with such courage.

The old emperor heard what she said and did not refute. If King Chen really did this at that time, he might really attack Lu Baichuan because he was afraid of King Chen.

"Not only that, my husband has done a lot more. Anyway, if he wants to be promoted, he will naturally rely on his own ability. There is no need to take advantage of me. Do you understand, Your Majesty?"

As He Jiuniang spoke, she had already begun to withdraw the acupuncture. The old emperor ignored her, and she continued: "The emperor's condition is quite stable. I will go back to Jingzhou tonight, and I will come back to give you acupuncture in a month. This time You must do what I ask for a while, otherwise your persistence these days will be in vain. Anyway, remember, anyone who wants to send you beauties will be pulled down and beheaded."

The old emperor nodded, and it took him a while to react, and asked: "Are you leaving tonight?"

"Yes, didn't I say that? My son is still waiting in Jingzhou. I will come back to you for a follow-up visit for a while. Your condition is very stable. Just take your medicine on time. The detoxification process is very slow. I guess you need a doctor. Three to five years.”

After putting away the needle, He Jiuniang began to pack the medicine box.

The old emperor hurriedly asked again: "Then don't you want your husband's merits? His merits are enough to serve in the capital."

He Jiuniang shook her head: "Of course we can't do without merit, but now is not the time for the truth to come out. Now if we give him a reward for this meritorious service, then Nantai will focus on him. By then, can our family still live a stable life? Therefore, I hope that the emperor will not spread this matter to outsiders, and we can just know it ourselves."

we?
The old emperor licked his lips. For some reason, he felt a little happy because of this title.

In her heart, he and they are one of her own?
Suddenly he felt a sense of recognition. He obviously didn't need it, but he just felt happy.

"Cough cough..."

Realizing that his smile was a little obvious, the old emperor hurriedly faked a cough twice, straightened his face again, and then said seriously: "In this case, let's remember for the time being. When the time comes, we will not discuss merits or rewards. Chi. It's just that I can't seal the title now, but the reward cannot be less. Besides, you are treating me, so I can't give you nothing..."

"Let's do this. I'll reward you with some fields and villages, gold, silver, cloth, etc. Anyone who comes..."

The old emperor made a fool of himself and rewarded He Jiu Niang with many things. He Jiu Niang smiled so hard that she couldn't close her mouth and asked, "Your Majesty, why do you just believe whatever I say? Aren't you afraid that I will deceive you?" The old emperor rolled his eyes: "You are not capable of lying to me."

He is old, but not stupid.

There were some things that he deliberately pretended not to know, but there were many things that he knew clearly in his mind.

He Jiuniang nodded and said with a smile: "That's right. I dare to tell you this, and it will definitely not be false! However, King Chen has done a lot of things that are beneficial to the country in these years, and you can't pretend not to know. , you ask yourself with your conscience, if King Chen had not been handling these matters these years, would you and other princes still be able to fight so leisurely in the capital? Maybe Nantai and Dongting would have joined forces to attack and fall. ”

Some words, until the point was made, He Jiuniang felt that she had said enough, so she deliberately said: "Oh, I won't say it any more. I am a woman who doesn't understand anything. After a while, I annoyed the emperor, and then I said these It won’t be good if I take back the reward. Hey, Your Majesty, please have a good rest, I have resigned!”

After saying that, she asked the four or five maids around her to come forward and help her move out the large box containing gold and silver.

Several palace maids looked at each other and glanced at the old emperor. The old emperor waved his hands impatiently, OK.

Several people worked hard to help.

Over the past few days, they finally figured out that over the years, the emperor had refused to accept anything but Mrs. Lu.

It was clear that Mrs. Lu said some irritating words, and the emperor was so angry that he almost couldn't breathe, but he would not lose her temper and even gave her so many rewards.

They had eaten a lot of big melons in the past few days, but they couldn't tell anyone, and they were a little embarrassed.

He Jiuniang had just received the reward, so she was naturally very generous. After the maids helped carry the box onto the carriage, she rewarded each of them with a silver ingot and said: "Thank you all, take good care of the emperor during this period. There will be no sexual intercourse for these seven days. After that, It can only happen once every seven days, so you must keep an eye on it!"

The maids nodded repeatedly: "Yes, the servants must take good care of the emperor."

He Jiuniang remembered that the day she first came, these palace maids and eunuchs were not very interested in talking to her. After a few days, their attitude became more and more eager. Sure enough, she had to have a good relationship with the old emperor and be able to talk to them. Only people can give her a good look.

No matter what era, human nature is like this.

Every day when He Jiuniang entered the palace, Lu Baichuan would wait for her at the palace gate. Knowing that she was just treating the old emperor normally and that the old emperor would never bother her again, Lu Baichuan's mood became much more stable and he could follow her even while standing at the palace gate. The guards guarding the door chatted and laughed a little, and even exchanged opinions and gave some pointers. After only two or three days, the relationship was very good.

"Hey, sister-in-law is out!"

The guard guarding the door was the first to see He Jiuniang's carriage and hurriedly opened the door to let Lu Baichuan in to greet her.

Good brother, the back door is still open at this point.
