Chapter 4 The Palace

"Get up. Forget it this time. Don't do it again."

The emperor said with a faint smile.

"Thank you, Holy."

Liu Xia got up from the ground with relief and sat down tremblingly.

"These officials don't have much ability on weekdays. They form gangs, form parties for personal gain, and are sent to this set. They are really self-taught. It's not a climate."

There was a trace of displeasure on the emperor's face, and he took a deep breath and said.

At this moment, there is a silence in the Tsinghua Hall, even if you drop a needle, you can hear it.

"Sure enough, it's the old saying that accompanying you is like a tiger. It seems to be true."

Liu Xia said silently in her heart.

"Ky, I'll tell you. People, if you have no desire, you will be strong! If you take other people's things, you will inevitably be influenced by others in the future. When you want to look back, it often becomes an abyss behind you. Dragons don't need to go anywhere else. If you are caught by those officials, I'm afraid I can't protect you.

"Your Majesty's lesson is that Weichen will never do these things again in the future."

"Well, as long as you understand, besides, you are a prince. It is detrimental to the dignity of the royal family to do this kind of thing. In the future, I will give you a fief. If you are short of money, you can earn it yourself. No matter how bad it is, you can open your mouth to me. That's all, let's not talk about that. Silence, pour me wine."

The emperor seemed to be in a really good mood today, drinking a few drinks on his face.

Even Chen Mo's face behind him also showed a slight joy.

"Your father originally lived in the mansion in Tianlong Lane, but it has been abandoned for a long time. I planned to allocate money from the inner treasury to repair it. Now you are also a rich man. You can pay this money yourself."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

If the emperor said so, he would no longer pursue this matter.

At this moment, Liu Xia felt that his uncle was not simple.

First eat the sweet dates, and then beat you with a stick. Sure enough, this emperor can't be anyone.

Then, the emperor had a few more drinks, which was obviously very happy.

"You are sixteen years old this year. Is there a girl you like?"

Coldly, the emperor suddenly asked.

Liu Xia smiled awkwardly and didn't say anything.

"It's quite shy. If there is, just tell me. With the death of your parents, I should have a family and a career for you. If you get a family early, you will settle down. It's good for your father's vein to continue the incense.

"Weichen will try his best."

"Do you need me to introduce a few to you? Silence, I heard that Zhang Shangshu's daughter and Wang Ge's granddaughter have reached the age of leaving the cabinet, right?

"Your Majesty is wise."

Silently, he bowed his waist and said in a hurry.

"Well, go and ask the birthday of the girls of the two families."

The emperor told him.

"I just remembered it."

Liu Xia's shame is obviously going to give herself a blind date.

As for the spirit, it is not mentioned.

It's not because I don't like Lingling, but because the water in Longdu is too deep. If you can't figure it out, don't implice her.

At this moment, a small yellow door stood quietly beside Chen Mo and whispered in Chen Mo's ear.

Chen Mo's face changed and he hurriedly bowed to the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, the urgent memorial has arrived."

When the emperor heard this, the smile on his face stopped in an instant.

Obviously, I'm afraid this is not good news.

"Hao Xuan, you will live in the palace tonight. I have something to do, so I can't accompany you. Tomorrow morning, after you visit the Empress Dowager, I will order Chen Mo to take you to Tianlong Lane.

Saying this, the emperor got up and walked out.

"I respectfully send it to your majesty."

Liu Xia hurriedly got up to see him off.

A moment later, the emperor left. At this moment, a young eunuch in his thirties smiled and said, "Your Majesty, I will take you to rest."

"I'm sorry to bother my father-in-law."

Liu Xia smiled faintly.

Subsequently, Liu Xia was arranged to rest in Yunhua Hall.

The night of the palace is particularly quiet.

Like a sleeping beast, he held his breath, and at the same time, he also hid many secrets.

Liu Xia stood in the yard of Yunhua Hall, practicing cross-legged.

Seeing the emperor today, he is not as dignified as Liu Xia imagined.

On the contrary, he is like an elder who cares about him.

However, Liu Xia did not relax her vigilance.

In the end, Liu Xia has been constantly growing up in the battle. She will not determine whether a person is a good person or not just because others say a few nice words to you.

Whether a person is good to you or not will know after a long time.

What's more, he still remembers what his father once said.

A person who can win the throne in that bloody storm more than 30 years ago must not be an ordinary person.

Let's not talk about anything else. In those years, he struggled to regain the position of Master Yunzong.

And his uncle seized the throne of the Ninth Five-Year Plan.

If such a person is underestimated, he will be doomed.

Liu Xia couldn't see through his uncle, the emperor, just like a fog.

A night passed in a hurry.

In the early morning of the second day, Liu Xia washed up under the service of several maids and went to the Cishou Palace under the guidance of an eunuch.

Today's empress dowager is his father's and today's holy mother.

is also Liu Xia's grandmother.

Liu Xia has never seen her since she was born.

I can't help but feel a little nervous.

When he got outside the Cishou Palace, the eunuch who led him the way went in to inform him.

After a while, a delicate and beautiful little girl came out and came to Liu Xia. She saluted Liu Xia and said, "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager, please come in."

Then, he took Liu Xia into the Cishou Palace.

As soon as she entered the door, Liu Xia smelled a smell of herbs.

Through the gauze tent, I saw a white-haired old man lying on the low collapse.

Immediately, the maids of honor lifted the curtain, and Liu Xia hurriedly knelt on the ground to salute.

"See the Empress Dowager."

"Cough, get up, get up quickly."

At this time, Liu Xia heard a very kind voice.

After getting up, Liu Xia looked up and saw the old man on the low collapse, with long and kind eyebrows, but her face was extremely pale, and there was obviously a stubborn disease in her body.

At this moment, the old lady struggled to sit up from the bottom and walked to Liu Xia with the help of the two maids.

Looking up and down at Liu Xia, tears in her turbid old eyes.

After all, blood is thicker than water. After all, Liu Xia is his relative.

"Son, you have been suffering outside these years. Look at how thin you are!"

The old lady grabbed Liu Xia's arm and said tremblingly. Tears couldn't help falling from her eyes.

"The Empress Dowager is worried, and Weichen is not bitter at all."

Liu Xia hurriedly held her and helped her back to the low collapse.

"Come on, sit down and let my family take a good look at you."

When he spoke, he pulled Liu Xia to the short collapse.

At this time, Liu Xia found that behind the curtain, he stood a very old eunuch.

At first, the eunuch turned his back to him and stood behind the pillar, so Liu Xia did not see it.

However, this is not the point. The point is that Liu Xia's current cultivation did not find him after entering the door.

subconsciously, Liu Xia took a look at him.

And the old eunuch also glanced at Liu Xia, and then bowed his head under his waist.

"This is the breath of the saint."

Liu Xia couldn't help but be shocked.

Sure enough, the dragon is really a hidden dragon and crouching tiger, which can't be underestimated.

"Eunuch Wei, look at this child, does he look very much like his father?"

The Empress Dowager wiped her tears and said happily.

"The Empress Dowager, the little prince and the prince, are really similar."

Mr. Wei said respectfully.

"Son, now that you have arrived in Longdu, this is your home. Cough, cough, cough, cough."

Speaking of this, the Empress Dowager coughed violently.

Grandpa Wei hurried forward and gently patted her on the back.

At this moment, Liu Xia subconsciously held the Empress Dowager's wrist.

After the visit, I couldn't help but be stunned.

The meridians in the Empress Dowager's body were all destroyed, and the whole person was still in a state of withered.

If it hadn't been maintained by the medicine, I'm afraid I would have died long ago.

I can't help but feel a little sad.

"The Empress Dowager should take care of yourself. I will come to see you when I am free in the future."

"Cough, that's good, that's good."

After a violent cough, the Empress Dowager lay down panting.

The two colors are much paler than before.

"Your Majesty, the empress dowager is tired."

At this moment, Duke Wei whispered a reminder.

"Oh, Empress Dowager, you can rest assured. I'll go first. I'll come to see you in a few days.

Liu Xia hurriedly got up and bowed her waist and said.

The Empress Dowager was obviously in great pain. She waved her hand slightly and closed her eyes tiredly.

Liu Xia hurriedly retreated from the Cishou Palace.

For a moment, my heart was full of doubts.

The meridians of the Empress Dowager were obviously abandoned. Who is so bold that she dares to be so cruel to the Empress Dowager?

It is estimated that all this is also related to the bloody storm 30 years ago.

Out of the Cishou Palace, Chen Mo had been waiting outside the door for a long time.

When he saw Liu Xia, he hurriedly saluted Liu Xia.

After a greeting, Chen Mo took Liu Xia out of the palace.

Along the way, Liu Xia didn't say a word.

Chen Mo is the closest person to the emperor. The so-called words will be lost, so Liu Xia did not say anything.

Chen Mo also seemed to talk to Liu Xia. After the two sat in front and out of the palace, they took a carriage and wandered towards Tianlong Lane.

Tianlong Lane, outside the palace, within the imperial city.

Located in the southeast corner of the imperial city, it doesn't take a quarter of an hour to get here from the palace.

Tianlong Lane is surrounded by Gaomen Courtyard, so it is also very quiet here.

When the carriage stopped, Chen Mo got out of the car and welcomed Liu Xia out. He smiled faintly and said, "Your Majesty, this is Prince Wei's palace."

Liu Xia looked up and saw that it was really dilapidated.

The red lacquer gate of the royal palace is very sway, but now the red lacquer has peeled off, the steps at the door are also covered with moss, and the eaves are full of weeds.

It is estimated that since his father came out of the palace, I'm afraid this place has been abandoned.

Even the plaque of Prince Naway's Palace on the door is tilted.

Liu Xia gently pushed the door and found that the door was locked. With a little force, she broke the latch.

At a glance, there was a desolation in the royal palace.

How tall is one of the weeds in the yard?

"Your Majesty, I brought you here, and now I have to go back to my life."

Chen Mo hugged his fist and said.

"Eunuch Chen walked slowly. How dare you ask, where is the mansion of Lord Zhang Tianhu and Mr. Zhang? Several of my friends still live with him.

"I'll take you there."

Immediately, Liu Xia and he got into the carriage and went to Zhang Tianhu's house.

Outside Zhang's house, Chen Mo said goodbye.

As soon as Zhang's family heard that it was the prince, he would not neglect it, but Lord Zhang had gone to court and had not come back. Therefore, Liu Xia and Cai Wei and others said goodbye from Zhang's house and went to his mansion.
