Ganli Palace Ningshengyuan.

This palace was originally uninhabited, and its scale was not as large as that of Ning'an Garden where Zhou An lived, nor as good as Ningyi Garden where Kanglongji lived. However, in recent days, Ningsheng Garden has been full of people.

The alchemist who was summoned by the empress into the palace arranged to live here, and this place became a royal alchemy place.

Ningshengyuan is strictly guarded.

Not long after noon, more than ten alchemy furnaces were placed everywhere in the main hall of Ningshengyuan, with a strong fragrance. Zhou Anzheng refined the alchemy with the alchemists. No matter what happened, the matter of refining the broken alchemy could not be stopped.

Squeak!

The main hall door opened gently.

Xiaotingzi hurriedly walked in the door, and came to Zhou An, who was sitting cross-legged in front of the alchemy furnace, and bowed and whispered: "Father-in-law, the emperor asked you to come."

"Hmm?" Zhou An opened his eyes, looked back at the pavilion, then stood up, and asked at the same time: "Who has the Lord called?"

"No one, I'll look for you." Xiaotingzi said.

Not long after.

In the East Warehouse, Zhou An came in a hurry.

The empress was lying on the warm couch, and there was no one else in the hall except for a few eunuchs and little palace maids. Zhou An was in charge of the matter, and a little palace maid was kneeling on the warm couch and pressing the empress's head.

"Master, you are looking for a slave..." Zhou An walked to the couch and said respectfully.

"Well... I have a great headache. Please press it for me." The empress closed her eyes and said softly.

"Yes." Zhou An responded and stepped forward.

The little palace maid stepped back and stood respectfully. Zhou Anze took off his shoes and put on the warm couch, knelt on the side, raised his hand and moved the empress's head, let the empress's head rest on his legs, and then began to press the empress's head.

It was quiet for a long time.

"Xiao Anzi, you can do it tonight." The empress suddenly spoke.

"Master, the matter in the northern border has just happened, so don't wait..." Zhou An replied softly. Less than an hour ago, just at noon, the empress received a report on the border war in Qianyuan Hall. Zhou An was there at that time, so he knew that the enemy troops in the Beirong had retreated.

This matter should end like this.

But there are still some things related to rewards and punishments, and the reconstruction of the Northern Army Corps, etc., so Zhou An asked her if she could ease it.

Wu Xukuan was very honest these days. Although there were still few people coming to the morning court, Wu Xukuan and the important officials in the court almost every day to enter the palace to discuss matters. No matter how late it was, they still had their attitudes. At least... even if they didn't go to court, they had to come and give advice to the empress. In the face of military and national affairs, they were still "unified" around the empress.

According to what Zhou An thought, he wanted to wait a little longer, and wait until the matter in the northern border is completely handled, then look at Wu Xukuan's situation, and then consider the problem of taking action.

Zhou An is naturally not afraid of anything. He is just weighing the pros and cons and needs a better opportunity.

"Wait, a group of incompetent people who are incompetent, what else can I wait for?" The empress was a little angry and her tone was very stormy.

"Yes, yes, yes, it's a slave who is talking too much." Zhou An said quickly, and did not say anything.

"The civil and military officials in the court have one calculation, and each has its own little plan. They quarrel and quarrel every day regardless of the safety of the country. If they can make a comeback, what if they can get a result? The teeth were knocked out by Rongdi, and they ran away after robbing things. They were still quarreling, a bunch of bullshits..." The empress was clinging to Zhou An's legs, closing her eyes and talking nonstop.

She is very well-educated, and it is the first time Zhou An heard her say the rude words "bastard".

Zhou An can also understand the empress's repression.

He also understood why the empress suddenly called him.

Of course, it was not because of a headache that Zhou An was pressing her head. She just wanted to find someone to talk, to vent, and to talk, but as the emperor, she was lonely!

She couldn't even find someone who could say these words to her. Kang Longji definitely couldn't. The empress wouldn't swear in front of Kang Longji, and Princess Yunjing was even worse. The empress never wanted to pass on any pressure on her to Princess Yunjing. She didn't like letting Princess Yunjing involve these bad things, she just wanted her to live happily and carefree.

So, she called Zhou An over.

Only by saying these words to Zhou An would she have no burden, no pressure, and no taboos in her heart.

In fact, this can be said to be an extreme trust, or even favor.

That's right, it's quite painful.

"...Wu Xukuan is a person who thinks he is both civil and military, and he thinks that he will destroy his country if he leaves Donggan. Who else is more greedy than him? He thinks he is a capable minister who governs the world. In fact, he is a traitor, a big traitor!"

"...200,000 Northern Frontier Army, 200,000, if the local army has a sufficient strength of 300,000 troops! Why did they lose? They are all humans! They are all humans! Do the enemy have three heads and six arms? Why are they defeated by others with less? A group of people! "

Zhou An kept pressing the empress's head and didn't say anything.

The empress is losing her temper and complaining.

Zhou An just heard that, but he wasn't for him anyway.

Zhou An was very calm.

The other eunuchs and palace maids in the Dongguan Pavilion were all scared and they were all kneeling on the ground, with their heads hanging down and dared not move.

The empress complained to Zhou An for half an hour, and then she said less and less. She only said a word every once in a while, and finally stopped talking, and her breathing gradually became even.

After she complained to Zhou An, she slept on Zhou An's legs and fell asleep.

The East Warehouse became silent.

For a long time.

Zhou An was still massaging the empress's head. His legs were pillowed by the empress for too long, and his qi and blood were blocked, which was already a little sore and numb. Zhou An didn't say anything to move.

He could imagine what kind of pressure the empress had been under.

Internal and external troubles, all of which were mixed together, made her exhausted.

After venting, she went to bed. It would be fine if she went to bed, so let her have a stable sleep.

Time passes.

Gradually, it was dusk, and an old eunuch quietly entered the East Warehouse, as if he wanted to report something. Seeing that the empress was sleeping and Zhou An was there, he didn't say anything and went out again.

Suddenly there was a noise outside again.

Someone is here.

"See Your Highness..." Zhou An vaguely heard the old eunuch's voice.

Then the door of the outer hall of Donghunting Pavilion opened.

The footsteps are approaching.

Crazy.

The bead curtain was lifted open.

"See Your Highness..." The servants and maids in the Dongnuan Pavilion all said respectfully, but they were very quiet.

It is Princess Yunjing, who is very noble in a phoenix crown and a red robe.

Princess Yunjing came in and noticed that the empress was sleeping soundly, and was still pillowing on Zhou An's legs.

Zhou An gestured to Princess Yunjing, signaling not to speak out, don't disturb the empress's rest.

Princess Yunjing was usually afraid of this sister, so she didn't dare to disturb her. She took her steps lightly and quietly walked to the front of the Nuan Collapse. She leaned her head and tilted her body, trying to see the queen's sleeping face, and then she looked at Zhou An and gestured, as if she was asking something.

She is naughty again.

Zhou An shook his head at Princess Yunjing and winked her, telling her not to do anything randomly.

Princess Yunjing pouted, showing a look of "Do you care about me?"

Zhou An was helpless, but he still glared at Princess Yunjing.

Princess Yunjing immediately showed a fierce expression, stretched out her hand to pull Zhou An's ears, and Zhou An immediately showed a "Grandma, I was wrong". Princess Yunjing did not let Zhou An go, leaned over, pulled Zhou An's ears with both hands, and pinched Zhou An's face, pulling Zhou An's handsome cheeks into a big pie face...

Zhou An stood up, afraid that his body would shake a little, so he kept blinking at Princess Yunjing, looking pitiful begging for mercy.

Princess Yunjing was proud.

"What are you doing?" The empress's cold voice suddenly appeared.

Zhou An and Princess Yunjing were both shocked.

The empress wakes up.

She leaned on Zhou An's legs, her eyes facing upwards, her eyes moving left and right, and her eyes swept back and forth on Zhou An and Princess Yunjing's faces.
