"I appreciate your kindness, but it is not in line with etiquette." Even if it was in line with etiquette, Han Ziran would not let Xiao Zhen stay in the palace.

At this time, the emperor suddenly said to Ren Jinxiu: "How about you go live in the Prime Minister's Mansion."

As soon as he said this, Han Ziran and Ren Jinxiu both stared at the emperor. The emperor still had a dark face, showing that he was in a very bad mood, but the thought that he would not have to see Ren Jinxiu for a short time was actually a little bit...

happy.

Xiao Zhen didn't expect that he would be favored by the emperor when he disguised himself as a man, but would be disgusted by the emperor once he put on women's clothes. Just because he was strong when he was a man, and weak when he was a woman? Is the reason as simple as that?

Xiao Zhen looked at Huang without leaving any trace.

Emperor, with a hint of complexity in her eyes, she will probably rarely see him again after leaving the palace. She has risked her life to protect the person, and even almost lost her own flesh and blood to protect him. His meaning to her is self-evident.

words, only from now on, they will form

We are strangers.

With a casual glance, the emperor discovered that Xiao Zhen, who was annoying him so much, was looking at him with a strange look and a cold expression on his face. Just as he was about to complain about her boldness, Xiao Zhen had already looked away.

"Brother Ziran, you should know that there is a medicinal spring in the palace that only the Queen Mother can use, right?" Ren Jinxiu smiled slyly at Han Ziran: "As long as you soak in that medicinal spring for a while every day, no matter how injured you are, it will heal.

get well."

"Thank you, no need." Han Ziran said to the emperor again: "I wonder if the emperor has anything else to do? If there is nothing else, I and my wife will leave first."

"Xiao Zhenruo won't be able to leave until he breaks off his arm." When a rather sharp and majestic female voice sounded, the door of the imperial study room was opened.

The current Queen Mother Mu walked in surrounded by palace people.

Xiao Zhen and Han Ziran were both surprised in their hearts. When did the Queen Mother come back from the imperial mausoleum? Did the emperor call her back? When they saw the emperor's face, there was also surprise, which showed that the emperor didn't know.

"Mother? Why are you back?" His mother, whom he had not seen for a long time, suddenly came back. The emperor was not very enthusiastic and even slightly frowned.

"If the Ai family doesn't come back, the Ning family won't know how bad they will be when they are bullied by outsiders." Queen Mother Mu said angrily, especially when she saw that her son did not welcome her and even didn't want to see her, she felt even more annoyed.

.

When Xiao Zhen saw Ning Niansheng standing next to the Queen Mother and looking at him with resentful eyes, she already knew in her heart who asked the Queen Mother to come back. "Xiao Zhen." Queen Mother Mu looked at Xiao Zhen with a cold voice and cold eyes.

The sharp blade seemed to be scraping her alive: "What a vicious-minded woman. Zilan from the Ai family just tied you up. She didn't do anything, let alone hurt you, and you actually chopped her."

arm?

She is only 16, in her prime years, and a great life is waiting for her."

"The Queen Mother," Han Ziran stood in front of Xiao Zhen and looked directly into the cold-blade eyes of Queen Mother Mu: "Wei Chen has always had a question. Who gave the shadow guards around Miss Ning Er?"

The Queen Mother's face darkened.

Han Ziran added: "Although the Ning family is a relative of the emperor, they cannot use shadow guards privately. Using shadow guards privately for officials other than third-rank officials would be a serious crime of beheading."

The Queen Mother's phoenix eyes narrowed slightly: "What do you want to say?"

"Wei Chen wants to say that compared to the serious crime of decapitation, just breaking an arm is already very minor."

"Are you threatening the Aijia?"

"Yes." Xiao Zhen lowered his head slightly in front of Han Zi and said nothing. The queen mother had already expected to stand up for the Ning family. Ning Zilan insisted on killing her and even mobilized the shadow guards to kill her. This was

In the eyes of the Queen Mother, she is nothing. Xiao Zhen is just like an ant in the eyes of the Queen Mother. She is dead.

He died. Therefore, even if what she said was reasonable, the Queen Mother would not listen to it, so it would be better for her not to come forward.

The Queen Mother was very angry at Han Ziran and said to the emperor: "Emperor, look, this is the prime minister you trust wholeheartedly. This is not the first time that he disrespects the Ai family."

"As a man, it is human nature to protect his wife. Moreover, Zi Lan did something wrong. Xiao Zhen cut off her arm," the emperor said with a dark face and said unwillingly: "

It’s indeed excusable.”

"What did you say?" Queen Mother Mu didn't expect that her son would still be protecting Han Ziran now, with a look of disappointment and hatred on her face.

Xiao Zhen felt relieved when the emperor said this. "Your Majesty," Ning Niansheng, who stood silently beside the Queen Mother, choked with sobs: "That's my sister, the cousin you grew up with.

. Now she has her arm cut off by a villain. Even if the wound recovers, her life will be ruined. Although she made a mistake, the Prime Minister’s wife is not

Are you doing well?" "Is it possible that you had to wait until the Prime Minister's wife was injured, or even lost a child for it, before you thought you could chop off Ning Zilan's arm?" The emperor looked at his mother and the future empress with a sneer,

He also hates Xiao Zhen, a woman, but only because the prime minister repeatedly

He lost his mind because of this woman, and the dignified Prime Minister assisted him in governing the Han Dynasty. Naturally, he could not value women more than the country, but it was obvious that the Prime Minister was an infatuated man.

"emperor?"

"I am very glad now that my temperament is not like that of my mother."

"What do you mean?"

The atmosphere in the Imperial Study Room was extremely tense for a while. Eunuch Ma, who was waiting next to him, was sweating from time to time on his forehead.

I don't know how much time passed, but the Queen Mother said in a tight voice: "Since the Ai family has returned to the palace, they will not go to the imperial mausoleum again. A country cannot be without a king for a day, and a country cannot be without a queen for a day. It is also time to prepare for you and the emperor."

I’m thinking about the big wedding.”

The emperor opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he said nothing and just nodded.

Ning Niansheng, who was originally angry and resentful for his sister, heard that the emperor was about to remarry him, but there was no trace of anger on his face for his sister's injustice. He was immediately ashamed and stopped talking.

The matter ended like this. Xiao Zhen could see that although the Queen Mother was standing up for Ning Zilan, what she wanted more was for the emperor to marry Ning Niansheng as soon as possible. Once Ning Niansheng became the queen, the Ning family could

More stable. The last time they got married, the late emperor died suddenly, so the matter had to be delayed. Ning

Zilan was important, but not so important that the Ning family should give birth to a queen as soon as possible, so as soon as the emperor agreed, Ning Zilan's matter was put aside.

After the Queen Mother and others left, Han Ziran led Xiao Zhen and wanted to leave, but Xiao Zhen was grabbed by Ren Jinxiu's arm. Unlike the previous coquettishness, Concubine Jin's face was full of fear at this time.

"Sister Azhen, please stay with me in the palace for a few days."

"What's wrong?" Xiao Zhen asked curiously. Ren Jinxiu glanced at the gloomy emperor, and then said aggrievedly: "The Queen Mother has returned to the palace. She will definitely make things difficult for me in the future. Not to mention the people in the palace who can help me, even

There is no one who can even talk to me, and the emperor ignores me. Sister, sister, please stay with me for a few days, just three days, just

Three days is good?”

"Your Majesty can leave the palace and stay at the royal villa in Jin County for a few days. If I remember correctly, my dear friend Chen Jiaoshu lives in a mansion on the outskirts of Jin County." Han Ziran looked at it coolly.

Ren Jinshi took a look.

Ren Jinxiu pouted and said: "Sister Shu is married now, how can I keep looking for her, and her husband's face is dark all day long, it's too scary."

Xiao Zhen noticed that when Han Ziran mentioned the name Chen Jiaoshu, the emperor began to rub his forehead, looking annoyed, and asked curiously: "Who is Chen Jiaoshu?"

"The former deposed crown princess." Han Ziran said calmly.

Xiao Zhen looked surprised. The former deposed prince had been executed, and his mother and concubine had all been given posthumous titles. How come the deposed prince was still alive, and according to what they said, she still had a husband?

"Don't Sister A Zhen know?" Ren Jinxiu laughed: "Although the deposed prince is dead, the emperor let Sister Shu go and let Sister Shu be with his beloved. Now, their children are very happy

It’s one year old.”

"Beloved?" Xiao Zhensi thought. It turned out that the former crown princess's favorite was not the abandoned prince.

Ren Jinxiu covered her mouth and said with a smile: "Sister Shu's husband is a knight in the rivers and lakes. He was seriously injured for some reason two years ago. He was saved by Sister Shu who went to Chongming Temple to offer incense. Later, the former deposed prince ignored him.

"I caught Sister Shu, and Sister Shu was so angry"

"What's there to say about this kind of thing?" the emperor stopped Ren Jinxiu from continuing and said, "I allow you to go to Jin County to play with her." Thinking of being able to be clean for a while, the emperor's face suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing that the emperor didn't care about her, Ren Jinxiu stamped her feet angrily: "You didn't let me say it, but I said that Sister Shu seduced the knight in a fit of anger."

Xiao Zhen: ""Is the former deposed crown princess such a bold person? Well, she sounds very appreciative of it.

Ren Jinxiu walked up to the emperor, put her hand on his waist, and then poked his shoulder with her finger: "You don't like me so much?"
