The Queen's Road of the Little Palace Maid - Chapter 32

Chapter 32
“You take everything you do for granted.” Liu Zhener looked up at the tall beams of the hall: “Yes, there are reasons. But you haven’t asked me, you didn’t ask me if I would like it! I am also a human! A living person.”
Zhao Yongze hugged Zhen’er, and kept muttering: “I’m sorry, I’m sorry…”
“Why do you say I’m sorry? You have been taking care of me with your heart, I know.” Liu Zhener laughed at herself: “What reason do I have to blame you? Except for the first time, when I received concern, didn’t I also feel happy in my heart?”
Zhao Yongze’s heart warmed in an instant, and he throbbed fiercely. Although he could still feel the dense pain, there was a special firmness in his dull voice: “It’s my problem, those things won’t happen in the future.”
“It’s not your problem, it’s that I shouldn’t…” Shouldn’t travel to this era with previous memories.
Zhao Yongze’s heart was gripped fiercely by the tiredness in Zhen’er’s tone, and a certain thought in his heart became more and more determined. He gently patted Zhen’er and said, “You are very tired, first Is it good to have a rest? We don’t want this for the time being.”
Is this to coax children? Although Liu Zhen’er thought so, she was drowsy by Zhao Yongze’s prolonged soft tone: “Isn’t it a good way to urge people to sleep?”
“I have studied for many years, consciously or unconsciously.” Now it’s finally time for me to coax you. Zhao Yongze remembered those quiet and beautiful times in the depths of his memory, and the corners of his lips were stained with a chuckle.
Zhao Yongze also said a lot later, but her voice became lighter and softer, and Liu Zhener’s hearing became more and more blurred…
After confirming that the person in his arms was asleep, Zhao Yongze carefully grabbed her knees and stood up. His movements were a bit slow, but they were always so steady that the person in his arms was not disturbed at all.
“His Royal Highness, the empress dowager’s will is…” The palace maid who had been pretending to have air just now had to stand up. She wanted to increase her voice and gain momentum, but as soon as she spoke, she was immediately frightened by the eyes of the prince’s eldest son.
The instinct of the palace lady told her that as long as she disturbed the person in her Royal Highness’s arms, she was likely to pay the price of her life. But her duties did not allow her to let her go, gritted her teeth and went directly to the inner hall to report.
Zhao Yongze ignored the palace lady. He carried Zhen’er out of the temple, placed it on the small couch of the carriage, and set it up. After instructing the waiter to drive the carriage safely into the Longevity Palace, he turned around and entered the Ci’an Palace.
Zhen’er’s words tonight made him clearly realize the mistake of his original idea. He can no longer wait slowly. Even according to the trajectory of the previous life, it will take more than ten years for him to gain power in the palace. Could it be that Jin Er has been frightened for more than ten years? Not to mention Zhen’er, he just can’t recognize it as long as he thinks about it.
He said he wanted to protect Zhen’er I to be safe and happy, even if it would block his life and future. Zhao Yongze, who returned to the hall, walked firmly.
Inner temple
“Just leave without explanation?” The empress dowager was angry and disappointed. How could her grandson be so disrespectful? How could the crown prince of Daqing solve the problem in such an evasive way!
Zhao Yongze’s calm voice came in from outside the door: “Grandson, come here to explain to the emperor’s grandmother.”
The empress dowager turned her head in astonishment and saw that Zhao Yongze had already strode in. The court lady of Ci’an who was kneeling behind him made her frown.
“Isn’t the emperor’s grandmother always wanting to explore, why the grandson’s temperament changed so much?” The smile on Zhao Yongze’s face was a little cold, “Grandma will tell you tonight.”
Others in the hall only felt that the atmosphere was a little tense, but the empress dowager knew very well that Zhao Yongze’s temperament had changed again, maybe not, it was just that this temperament was previously hidden.
“Why?” The empress dowager’s voice was unusually calm, but after decades of wind and rain, her heart had already tightened involuntarily.
Zhao Yongze looked at the palace men on the left and right, but did not speak.
“You all go down!” The Queen Mother waved and ordered.
The close female officer looked at His Royal Highness the eldest son for a moment, but finally went down with the attendants.
“Can you say it now?” The empress dowager hadn’t noticed any change in her attitude towards this grandson at this time.
Zhao Yongze looked directly into the eyes of the Queen Mother: “That’s because grandson Zhuang Zhou Mengdie, seeing himself, was erected and deposed, and secluded and imprisoned for more than ten years.”
“Impossible!” The Queen Mother accidentally knocked over the tea cup at hand and said sharply, “It can’t be abandoned! Don’t talk nonsense!”
Seeing the empress dowager’s reaction, Zhao Yongze felt a little comforted, but his voice did not change in the slightest: “How can it be impossible? The things in the dream are so clear, so real, and have been verified. How can grandson not believe it?”
“No, your father said nothing to abolish you.” The empress dowager shook her head and didn’t believe it at all.
Zhao Yongze felt a little strange in his heart, but he was extremely firm about the original plan, and continued: “Of course it was not the father who wasted it, but the emperor’s uncle.”
“What are you talking about!” The Queen Mother was furious, “How can you use such an unnecessary charge to slander your uncle!”
Zhao Yongze turned a blind eye to the empress dowager’s anger, and even took a step closer: “How dare I slander? Uncle Emperor, he is the future emperor of Daqing!”
“Shut up!” The Queen Mother trembled in anger.
Zhao Yongze will naturally not shut up at this juncture: “Grandma, are you afraid? Are you afraid that I will retaliate and hurt your adopted son, or are you afraid that your biological son will die in the future?”
“Nonsense! Nonsense!” The empress dowager was as tough as ever, but the seeds were planted in her heart.
Zhao Yongze sighed when he saw that the fire was about to come, “Why don’t my grandson think of what he experienced during his illness as a nightmare, but the things that have been confirmed, and the things that may happen soon, make me have to believe.”
The empress dowager froze: “What has been confirmed?”
“This year’s big cold hasn’t gotten cold.” Zhao Yongze brought out the facts.
The empress dowager still didn’t believe it: “Xu is that you have a wrong memory and confuses dreams with reality.”
“In the coming year, natural disasters, refugees, and foreign invaders.” Zhao Yongze threw out a series of bad news and successfully suppressed the empress dowager. .”
These things really haven’t happened yet, but after Zhao Yongze reminded, the empress dowager discovered that these things are extremely likely to happen, but she still didn’t want to believe: “The court is already preparing for the disaster, and there will be no refugees.”
Zhao Yongze smiled and said: “Do you still remember the emperor’s grandmother, how did the court discover that there might be natural disasters next year?”
It was brought up by the grandson in front of her! The queen mother’s pupils shrank.
Silence, silence, deathly silence in the hall.
“Natural disasters, refugees, foreign bandits…, what you said is true.” After a long time, the empress dowager sat down sullenly.
Zhao Yongze didn’t want to think again: “It’s true.”
“That, that…” The empress dowager, who has been in power for decades, couldn’t help but tremble: “Then what’s the matter with your father and your uncle?”
Zhao Yongze felt a little unbearable: “The emperor’s grandmother still don’t ask.”
“Say!” The empress dowager’s voice was like an old wounded mother beast roaring.
Zhao Yongze closed his eyes, and his voice was a bit astringent: “There are disasters in the middle of the country, and the imperial court makes all-out efforts to rescue the disaster, resulting in the empty treasury; foreign bandits took advantage of the chaos to invade and looted and slaughtered my people in Daqing, but the army was retreating steadily; the father was encouraged by it. Morale, I decided to go personally…”
In the latter words, Zhao Yongze couldn’t say a word.
He doesn’t need to say, and the Queen Mother can piece together the general idea after contacting the words just now.
The empress dowager sat on the chair woodenly, her well-maintained face seemed to be ten years old all of a sudden.
Time passed slowly, and there was some chill in the inner temple. However, neither the standing person nor the sitting person spoke.
The night is very long, especially for those who are immersed in sorrow, but it will also pass.
When dawn broke, the Queen Mother had figured it out. Now nothing has happened. As long as he works hard, his son will be fine.
“Yongze, come here.” The empress dowager’s voice was a little hoarse.
Zhao Yongze hesitated for a while, walked over, and was suddenly held by an old hand, only to find that the emperor’s grandmother was not as strong as he remembered.
“You said, I spent more than ten years in the forbidden palace in my dream?” A sudden change of mind overnight caused the empress dowager’s voice to leak some distress.
Although it was suffering, Zhao Yongze felt that those memories were not so unbearable: “Yes, for thirteen years.”
“Then later…” The Queen Mother was a little afraid to ask. She could comfort her that the matter with her son hadn’t happened, but the grandson had experienced it personally!
Naturally, Zhao Yongze would not say that the coup d’état succeeded. He became the emperor. Jane skipped a few words and said directly to the end: “Later? Naturally I was dead. I was dead in my dream, and I was awakened by Zhen’er in reality. what?”
died! The son is dead! The grandson is also dead? ! The corners of the queen mother’s lips trembled.
“The emperor’s grandmother doesn’t have to be sad, people are mortal after all.” Zhao Yongze’s words were comforting, but also from the heart.
The empress dowager clutched Zhao Yongze’s arm tightly: “So, the grandson of Ai’s family, is it like this?”
Zhao Yongze froze, but did not correct the imperial grandmother’s misunderstanding, and continued his prepared words: “Don’t worry, when I went, I still left Zhen’er and our children, and my blood is still passed on.”
“That Liu Zhen’er, is your concubine?” The empress dowager now mentioned that Liu Zhen’er was calmer.
Zhao Yongze said word by word: “She is my prince and concubine, the wife who worshipped the Emperor and Houtu with me.”
“She’s just a court lady!”
“Is the imperial grandmother trying to make her grandson lose faith in the world?”
The Queen Mother was unwilling to accept: “How can you marry a court lady?”
“Why can’t it? You should know that the entire forbidden palace is aside from the guards, but there are only two of us.” Zhao Yongze was a little angry, and spoke even more recklessly.
The empress dowager was furious: “Even if your father goes, you are also the prince, the most noble person in the world, how can only Liu Zhen’er serve? What about the servants of the Longevity Palace?”
“The tree falls and the hens are scattered, isn’t this natural?” Zhao Yongze didn’t care.
The empress dowager patted the table and said, “This is unreasonable!”
“If you see the truth in adversity, there is a sincere person like Zhen’er by your side, and I don’t care about the others.” Zhao Yongze turned the topic back to Zhen’er again.
