Emperor Tianwu and the empress have always been the best partners. Over the years, the two have faced each other in a harem, and they have managed well and securely.The queen is very good at guessing Emperor Tianwu's thoughts. Often the other person passes her an eye and she knows what to say and what to do.And Emperor Tianwu used to think that the queen was more than he wanted. Apart from having no love, there are still feelings. The mother of a country can do her part.

But both of them clearly understood one thing, but no one broke, and were waiting, waiting for the other person to come forward and attract the fish.Then whether the queen can be a queen or not depends on her character.

Of course, these are the previous ideas of Emperor Tianwu. Since he regained favor with Princess Yuan, all this has been left behind by him. Sometimes he is a little sober and will remember that he is still waiting for someone to appear, and This person must be led by the emperor, so the emperor cannot be abolished.He also knows that moving the queen is equivalent to moving the country, but it is not a matter that can be easily solved after the abolition, so the queen's position has been kept.

But Emperor Tianwu was not very good tonight, and his mind became clear a lot. It was not that he remembered anything, nor that he was awakened. He just started to suspect, and he began to have a skeptical attitude about the current state.Especially when he heard that he had demoted Zhang Yuan to the criminal slave, he felt a tremendous shock.

He asked the queen: "Do you know why I sent Xiao Yuanzi to the criminal slave? Why can't I remember what he did wrong? What's more, even if I made a mistake, I couldn't treat him like that. Little Yuanzi has made more than one or two mistakes since childhood, and I'm used to it. "

The queen was very happy when she heard this.In any case, the emperor is willing to think about this, which shows that he has not been completely confused, and he has not completely listened to the words of the mother and son of Yuan Shufei.This made her see hope and see Emperor Tianwu's hope of recovery.She said to Emperor Tianwu: "But the Emperor thinks something has gone wrong recently?"

Emperor Tianwu nodded, "It's a bit wrong, but I can't figure out what's wrong. Except for Xiaoyuanzi, the queen, what are you doing wrong?"

"That's too much," said the queen lightly. "For example, Princess Yuan. For another example, the eighth prince. Does the emperor think that the recent state is normal?"

Emperor Tianwu thought about it very seriously, and then shook his head, "I don't think it's abnormal! Concubine is my beloved concubine, Mo'er is my beloved son, and it's nothing to be close to them."

"Ai Fei and Ai Zi? Why have you been so cold for more than two decades? The emperor never thought about the reason?" The empress broke the point, but he heard the Emperor Tian Wu froze again.

Every time he mentioned such a topic, he had a headache. Emperor Tianwu raised his hands and hugged his head, his expression was painful, and he looked at the emperor's eyes with a little bit of resentment.He said: "Queen, I just asked you about Xiao Yuanzi. Why did you mention Princess Fei and Mo'er? When I heard your words, I felt my head hurt so much, you should stop talking."

The queen was helpless, but looking at Emperor Tianwu, she was really not good to say anything, so she turned back to Zhang Yuan, but said: "The emperor wanted the concubine to take Zhang Yuan from the criminal slavery Come back? "She said, shaking her head." It's not easy! Now the concubine is also in an impossibility in this palace. Everyone is constrained by the concubine Yuan. The emperor thought that the concubine had the ability to bring Zhang Yuan out? Given, now Princess Yuan is the master of this harem. "

"You are the queen." Emperor Tianwu raised his voice a little, and said with some displeasure: "Why do you still have to walk?" Such a good lady, how could it restrain you? "

"Since the emperor thinks so, why didn't she ask Yuan Shu to get Zhang Yuan out, but call her concubine?" She asked in reply: "Call the concubine over, it's not that the emperor thinks something subconsciously Can't you tell Princess Yuan? "

As soon as she said this, Emperor Tianwu also remembered it, yeah!I felt dizzy just now, and I felt that there were many things that I didn't understand. For example, how did you live in the past two decades?Why haven't you seen the concubine for so many years?Why do I always feel that I have forgotten many things?Also distorted many things?He had a particularly strong consciousness for a moment, and wanted to clarify these questions, but at the same time, he felt that he could not ask Princess Yuan, and he had to ask a reliable person.When I think about it, the only reliable person is the queen.

"Yes!" Emperor Tianwu murmured: "I called you to protect the concubine. But ... why?" He couldn't understand it again.

The queen sighed softly and patted Emperor Tianwu's hand and said: "Since the emperor wants to see Zhang Yuan, the concubine will do everything she can to make the emperor do what she wants." She finished and looked at Fang Yi who was standing outside the door , Fang Yi nodded at the queen, but did not act immediately, because Princess Yuan and the eighth prince were still standing outside.

The two were also in a state of anxiety. In the eyes of the palace people, they were so anxious because they were worried about the emperor's condition.But I do not know, the eighth prince buried his head and whispered in the ear of Princess Yuan, but said: "What should I do? If the old guy is out of control, is this going to collapse?"

Mrs. Yuan shook her head and said softly, "The collapse will not collapse, it's just a little bit tricky. These situations are what we originally expected. To do this kind of thing is like going through all obstacles, obstacles will always appear, one by one. In the end, things will be done. "She finished, looked at Xuan Tianmo, and persuaded:" Mo Er is in a hurry, we still have time. "

At that time, everyone in the miscellaneous yard of the criminal slaves hid back into the house to spend the New Year's Eve.Even in such a place, the palace will not be too indifferent on New Year's Eve, or dumplings will be distributed, so that the criminals will take a bite.

There was light snow again in the sky, but the welfare of hiding dumplings in the house was not Zhang Yuan's turn.At this time he was sitting in the yard washing clothes, the water was still carrying ice stubble, so that all his hands were covered in blood.He also had to wash while taking care that the blood from the blood in his hands did not get on his clothes, and he rubbed in the snow from time to time, trying to freeze the wound.

Zhang Yuan had entered the palace from an early age and had a good life. He followed the emperor and had never suffered such pain.In these days, the criminal slave has eaten all the hardships he has not eaten for the first ten years. What are the toilet, washing clothes, picking water, washing the head and feet here, all these things Did it.If you do n’t do well, you will not be given a meal, and you will be fined to stand in the ice and snow. His feet are all frostbite, and his hands are now in a state of semi-waste.

But there are still so many work plans waiting for him, almost everyone's work is pushed to him alone, and those who are vacant, as long as they rub the head and shoulders and knead their feet here, they don't have to do this The bitterness of work.In order to survive, in order to survive, he did not think of this tricky way, but no one waited to see him, even if he knelt down to ask, and no one pityed him, he just wanted to rub his head and shoulders, they were not used.To make it clear is to deliberately make trouble, that is, to make him suffer and be injured, just to humiliate him, the once eunuch in the palace who was so popular for a while, and even gave power to see the three eunuchs.

And the silver tickets and silver that Feng Yuheng gave him before also disappeared overnight, and he hadn't waited for him to use the money to stammer who the money was not his.

Zhang Yuanyue tried to hold back, wiped a tear, and then looked at the pot of clothes in front of him. He knew that he didn't need to sleep again tonight.I am afraid that these clothes will not be washed until tomorrow morning, and it snows again. I really don't know if he will be frozen outside.

Thinking of the possibility of being frozen to death, he struck a spirit and hurriedly got up and thought of picking up clothes in the house again.He wanted to take another look at the old emperor in his lifetime, but could he die like that.

But before waiting for him to take three steps, he heard someone from the other side of the yard coming up, whispering with his throat while walking: "Yo! Zhang Yuan, what are you going to do? Have you finished your clothes? Have you left here? ? "

Zhang Yuan turned his head to see that there were a total of three people, all of whom were eunuchs in the palace.Obviously they are the same minions, but these three are well mixed with the heads here, and every day they are tied up, they can't give them to others **.In this regard, if you have done a good job, you will naturally not have to suffer like him every day. The three people's lives seem to be really happier than those of their former masters.Of course, there is no less stumbling block for Zhang Yuan.

For example, now, Zhang Yuan wants to go back to the house to add clothes. He happened to be seen by the three men, and he shouted in his throat without saying anything. He also kicked over the two boxes of clothes that Zhang Yuan had washed. Then he smiled and looked at Zhang Yuandao: "You used to be a great man next to the emperor, we all murmured when we met, but we didn't get angry. But now, you are a criminal slave who is not as good as a dog. In those days before? Still thinking about being awesome? I yuck! No way! "

"Yes! Sin slaves are sin slaves. If you don't do good laundry, where are you going? Believe it or not, we just have to call Zhang Yuan to run away. The father-in-law must come over and break your leg!"

"Our criminal slave company killed a criminal slave, but there is no need to report it. You have to know who your life is in your hands!"

Zhang Yuan watched the clothes washed in those two basins become dirty again, and his tears almost did not come out.But he knew that crying was useless, fighting was useless, and quarreling was useless.All these tricks have been used, and in exchange, there is nothing but a new round of humiliation.

Silently picked up the two basins of dirty clothes again, added ice water again, and did not expect to go back to the house to get the clothes, so I sat on the small bench and washed again.With more and more blood on his hands, he can only wipe the snow or his clothes, and try not to dye your clothes.

Zhang Yuan thought, if they hate themselves like this, they should have hoped that he would die?There is no need to report crimes and deaths, this is a good opportunity for murder.But the reason why he has only tortured him but not let him die until now means that there must be someone behind him who does n’t want him to die, or that he does n’t want him to die too fast, so that he will be tortured more, This is the real intention of the other party ...
