Chapter 342
This is the first time that Lu Heng has shown resistance in front of the emperor. The emperor did feel a little offended at first, but when he saw Lu Heng's resolute and cold face, he felt that this was human nature.
This is the normal reaction of a man when he protects his beloved woman. If Lu Heng remained silent and flattered the emperor, the emperor would not dare to use such a person.
A person has shortcomings and temperament, and it is the talent that can be used. If the Meizhu can even give up his family, then this kind of person will definitely betray.
After the emperor figured it out, it was easy to accept. The court is like the wild, tigers and jackals will not fight even if they meet. If there is no certainty of absolute victory, the struggle is not worth it. The bigger the fiercer, the more respect the domain of others is, the more they tacitly act in their own domain and do not touch the boundaries easily.
The emperor and Lu Heng were like this. Lu Heng would be very dangerous without the emperor, but the emperor would also be very uncomfortable without Lu Heng. The struggle between the monarchy and the prime minister has been through the ages. If an emperor loses his personal soldiers, he will soon be overridden by the cabinet. The emperor needs Lu Heng to check and balance the cabinet, and there is no need for them to tear their faces.
Lu Heng is already a powerful minister, and it is impossible to obey the emperor unprincipled. Since Lu Heng is unwilling, then forget it. Wang Yanqing's detection of lies is indeed fast and easy to use, but it is not enough to separate from Lu Heng.
The emperor just didn't expect that one day, Lu Heng would reaffirm the boundaries with him because of a woman.
After Lu Heng left, the emperor thought about it and still felt incredible. Lu Heng and Wang Yanqing knew each other under the eyes of the emperor, and the emperor also thought that Lu Heng was having fun and wanted to develop a one-night stand into a night-night stand. The emperor was really curious, what was there in Wang Yanqing that could make Lu Heng make such a rash move for her.
The emperor said: "Let's go and see the eldest princess. By the way, in the name of Xi's concubine, pass Mrs. Lu over."
Chapter 114
When Wang Yanqing heard the eunuch's letter, she was still thinking that she and Shen Xibi had no relationship and no reason. What did Shen Xibi tell her to do? When he saw the bright-looking royal chariot at the gate of the palace, Wang Yanqing realized who was looking for her.
Wang Yanqing has a clear conscience, but this kind of thing is best avoided. It is not appropriate for the emperor to meet a foreign wife alone, but if they meet by chance in Shenxi Concubine's Palace, then there is no need to worry about being talked about.
The eunuch communicated that Wang Yanqing had arrived, and Zhang Zuo greeted him personally, seeing Wang Yanqing very respectful: "Mrs. Lu, please come here."
Because of Lu Heng's face, Zhang Zuo has always been very polite to Wang Yanqing, but now his politeness has added a hint of fear. Zhang Zuo saw what happened yesterday, so many concubines fought for it, Wang Yanqing only mentioned Shen Xibi, and the emperor really pointed the eldest princess to Shen Xibi.
It can be seen that the emperor really believed what Wang Yanqing said. This is too terrifying. The grand eunuch Zhang Zuo looks at the scenery. In fact, he lives on the trust of the superior. Once the emperor does not trust him and begins to suspect that Zhang Zuo is lying, that Zhang Zuo will die.
One sentence determines life and death, this is how Zhang Zuo is not afraid.
Wang Yanqing entered the hall, the emperor was teasing the eldest princess, and Shen Xibi was standing aside nervously. After Wang Yanqing entered the door, he quietly stood aside without making any movement.
The eldest princess was sent to the Xibi Palace last night. The emperor asked the eldest princess about her diet and daily life, and Shen Xixi answered them one by one. The eldest princess didn't know if she was tired or what was going on, her demeanor was sluggish, she didn't respond to the emperor's teasing, and even closed her eyes and wept softly. Seeing this, Shen Xibi was so frightened that she hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, the eldest princess may have eaten too much in the morning, and she didn't intend to offend the holy car."
The emperor had a high tolerance for his own children, he motioned Shen Xibi to bring the eldest princess to change clothes. Seeing that the emperor didn't mean to be angry, Shen Xibi breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly hugged the eldest princess and left.
The child in the palace has a wet nurse as soon as it is born. Concubines and concubines do not need to do things like breastfeeding and changing diapers. But whether an adoptive mother is willing to do these things can also tell her attitude towards the child.
Wang Yanqing had been standing quietly beside him, and sure enough, after Shen Xibi went out, the emperor asked quietly, "Do you think what she said just now is sincere?"
During this time, the emperor felt the most distressed about the princess, and all fools knew how to please the emperor. Shen Xibi is willing to poop and pee for the eldest princess, is it sincerity or acting?
Zhang Zuo became nervous when he heard it beside him. Wang Yanqing's answer is enough to control Shen Xixi's fate. If Wang Yanqing said that she was pretending, Shen Xixi would label the emperor as scheming and hypocritical. It's good to fall out of favor. life.
Zhang Zuo's heart tensed. Those of them who depended on holy favor for their lives met Wang Yanqing, which was a devastating disaster. Wang Yanqing's face was calm, as if she didn't think she had such an enviable ability at all, and said indifferently: "I don't know either. Her fear of you is so strong that it overwhelms other emotions, and it is difficult to judge her by her expression alone. Thoughts. But when she is most afraid, her first reaction is to take the child away from you. It can be seen that she has a pure and kind heart, and at least she will not do anything to abandon the child. "
After listening to Zhang Zuo, the suffocation in his heart became even worse. The emperor sat down on the throne and said with great interest, "You don't seem to be afraid of me."
Even Lu Heng didn't dare to speak like that, but Wang Yanqing spoke bluntly. Isn't she afraid of angering the emperor?
