Xiao Zhen was about to leave, but his hand was held by Si Mo again: "It doesn't matter, Prime Minister Han will take care of the affairs of the court, so I don't need to pay too much attention to it." After saying that, Si Mo said to Han Ziran: "Prime Minister Han, let's go and deal with it.

"

"Your Majesty, that humble minister is going to kill those ten ministers."

"Okay. I would like Prime Minister Han to solve all the hidden dangers that will arise in the future."

Han Ziran: "..."

"Azhen, let's go to the pavilion in front to enjoy the flowers and drink tea." Si Mo said and pulled Xiao Zhen up and walked slowly.

"Your Majesty, state affairs are important." Xiao Zhen's surprise was indescribable. Si Mo had always been concerned about state affairs. No matter when he was the prince or after he ascended the throne, he had never left state affairs alone.

"State affairs are important, but if I have to do everything myself, what do I need these ministers to do? I don't trust those who employ them, and I don't trust those who doubt them."

Xiao Zhen was pulled away by the late emperor, and he turned around and looked at Han Ziran from time to time. Han Ziran stood there, his face as cold as before, and his deep black eyes could not tell what he was thinking.

Apart from flowers and plants, she and Si Mo were the only two people in the imperial garden.

There was no tea in the pavilion, it was just an excuse for Si Mo to leave.

It seemed that everything suddenly became quiet, and Xiao Zhen followed slowly behind him until he suddenly stopped.

Xiao Zhen looked up at him.

"Is Xiang Han that good-looking?" Si Mo asked her.

"Why did the emperor suddenly ask this?"

"After you left Prime Minister Han just now, you looked back at him twenty times along the way."

Xiao Zhen: "..."

Si Mo snorted coldly.

How do you answer this? Ziran is naturally good-looking, and if you ask yourself, she is indeed prettier than Simo. At least she has lived such a long life. Except for Che Feifei who once amazed her, only Ziran

Of course, she was shocked when she first saw Si Mo, but at that time he was surrounded by a group of rough-looking soldiers. This comparison, ugh.

Seeing that Xiao Zhen didn't speak for a long time, Si Mo's face became colder and colder, and finally he snorted and threw away his sleeves, leaving her alone in the Imperial Garden.

At this time, Xiao Zhen suddenly screamed in her heart, "Oh no!" She tapped herself as the queen on her acupuncture point and followed Si Mo out. But as soon as she left, the palace servants must come into the palace to clean up. Thinking about this, she was frightened from behind.

Breaking into a cold sweat and looking around at no one, he escaped to a dark place and used Qing Gong to return to the Queen's Palace.

When he arrived at the Queen's Palace, he saw that there was no sound at all and he was still sleeping well. Xiao Zhen breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, no one from the palace had come in yet. After untying his acupuncture points on the bed, Xiao Zhen hid in the darkness.

Then he saw himself waking up on the bed.

Next, she had to go to her brother's place. She had to tell her brother that she would leave the palace tomorrow to relax and stay with her brother for a few days. This was an easy thing, but how to get herself out of the palace?

It would be difficult to go out without seeing the emperor.

Just when I was thinking about it, the back door of Xiaohou Mansion was right in front of me.

Xiao Zhen got angry and climbed up the wall, and looked down. Sure enough, the ladder was still placed in the dense bushes. It could be seen that his brother should often sneak out from here.

It was much more difficult to find someone during the day than at night, but he also found that there were very few servants in the house. She had walked around so much and only saw a few. Finally, Xiao Zhen found Zheng Zhen in the woodshed.

It belongs to the brother who chops firewood.

When Xiao Hua saw his sister suddenly appearing in front of him, he was stunned for a long time: "Why did you sneak out of the palace again?"

"Brother, why are you chopping firewood?" The two of them said in unison, but Xiao Zhen ignored the question and said directly: "Brother, I will leave the palace tomorrow and go to Biezhuang to stay with you for a few days."

"Why do you always do this?" Xiao Hua put down the firewood in his hand, with a sad look on his face: "The palace is your home, the emperor is the king of a country, so he only pampers you and agrees to live with you twice for three days.

Let’s go to another village, but we can’t rely on being pampered.”

Xiao Zhen: "..." This is a common thing.

Xiao Hua sighed again and looked at his sister distressedly: "Are you really that unhappy in the palace?"

Xiao Zhen nodded.

"Okay, then I'll go to the palace to pick you up tomorrow. It's quite boring for my parents to live in a villa, so you might as well come over."

It turns out that her parents live in another village. Xiao Zhensi was so attached that no wonder she walked around but didn't see him here.

"Brother," Xiao Zhen pretended to be embarrassed and said, "When you enter the palace tomorrow, can you tell the palace people that your parents miss me and want me to stay in the manor for a few days? Your Majesty.

There is no need to go over there and say that you have already said that the emperor has agreed to my going to live in the other village, so as to avoid rumors in the palace about the discord between the emperor and the empress."

Xiao Hua stared at Xiao Zhen for a while. Just when Xiao Zhen thought there was some loophole in what he said, he said: "I thought you didn't know the powerful relationship between it, but it turns out you do? You also know how to cover it up."

"Brother, this is the last time." Xiao Zhen said hurriedly.

"Is it really the last time?"

Xiao Zhen nodded hurriedly.

Things were progressing extremely smoothly. When Xiao Zhen came out of Xiao Hou's Mansion, thinking about what he had just said, his brother agreed immediately. He always felt that it was a little too smooth, but he couldn't think of anything wrong.

It was night. It was drizzling and the sky was gray.

Just like the previous few days, the emperor came to the queen's place for dinner. Although Si Mo's face was still gentle, it was obviously not as intimate as in the afternoon. After a few words, the two of them ate in silence.

I really doubt that Si Mo in the afternoon is someone else.

After dinner, Si Mo reviewed the excerpts in the outer hall.

The queen went to bed early.

Xiao Zhen jumped up on the beam, and while looking at Si Mo who was reviewing the papers below, he thought that she would sleep on this beam tonight. But it was really late in the morning, and Si Mo was not seen leaving. Xiao Zhen thought in his heart.

Attachment: I didn’t expect him to be so diligent. It seemed that this was the only thing that made her proud of him.

The next day, Xiao Zhen was awakened by the sound of the palace servants. He thought it was dawn, but unexpectedly it was still gray. The palace servants came to call the emperor to go to court. Xiao Zhen then discovered that the emperor had not returned to his side hall to sleep.

Instead, he leaned on the imperial desk and fell asleep like this.

In other words, she slept on the beam last night, while he slept on the table, and she slept in the inner hall.

After breakfast time, Xiao Hua came and said what she said yesterday, and the queen also agreed. The queen's agreement was already expected by Xiao Zhen, after all, it is really true to stay in the palace like this all the time.

Not interesting.

Until the carriage disappeared at the entrance of the palace, and Xiao Zhen quietly left the palace and hired a carriage to return to the palace, everything went smoothly.

Due to years of experience, and yesterday, the doubts in Xiao Zhen's heart have not diminished but increased. According to the Shadow Guard's experience over the years, too smooth a situation may be a trap in itself. It is naturally best not to be discovered.

of.

It was already noon when we returned to the Queen's Palace.

Sure enough, as usual, the emperor came to dine with her.

Xiao Zhen followed her example in the palace and ate in silence without saying a word. But after eating half a bowl of rice, she couldn't ignore it anymore. She put down her bowl and chopsticks and looked at the emperor: "Is the emperor happy?

"Why do you keep looking at her and smiling?

"I'm happy to see you." The emperor picked up a piece of meat and put it into Xiao Zhen's bowl: "This is your favorite braised pork."

Xiao Zhen looked at the pork belly in the bowl, then looked at the smile in the emperor's eyes, and said suspiciously: "I don't see the emperor being so happy when he sees me."

"Normally is the same as today." The emperor looked at Xiao Zhen with bright eyes: "I am free in the afternoon, do you want to go somewhere to play?"

Xiao Zhen was stunned for a moment. What did he say? Go play with her?

"Did my words surprise you so much?" The emperor looked at Xiao Zhen's frightened expression with great pleasure.

"There is no place I want to play. I have the habit of taking a nap in the afternoon. Your Majesty knows that." Xiao Zhen looked away from the Emperor's slightly disappointed eyes and said calmly.

"Okay, then I'll take a nap with you."

Xiao Zhen almost choked on the rice he had eaten.

"Eat slowly." The emperor quickly stood up and came over to pat Xiao Zhen on the back.

"You want to take a nap with me?" Xiao Zhen wanted to push away the emperor's hand patting her back, but he also knew that doing so would arouse suspicion, so he had to let him continue patting her.

"Yes, I have been a little tired these days. Taking a nap every day is good for my health." The emperor said, looking tired.

Xiao Zhen: "..." Why haven't I seen him before?

It was naturally impossible for Xiao Zhen to take a nap with him, but as soon as he entered the inner hall, Si Mo obediently lay down on the inside of the bed, then patted the empty space on the outside with a smile on his face: "Come up, I won't disturb you.

.”

Xiao Zhen was stunned for a moment, and his mind flashed back to the time when he was young and became an adult. Because he was afraid that someone would poison him, he pestered him to sleep with him for nearly a month. During this month, he also slept with him like he is now.
