The Child Emperor

Chapter 52 House arrest

The torrential rain at Hangu Pass did not spread to the capital, and Han Ruzi in the palace temporarily forgot about Yang Feng. He couldn't just wait, he had to do something to save his and his mother's lives.

The real struggle happened between the Shangguan family and the Cui family, but no matter which side wins, the puppet emperor will be the victim. Of course, the Cui family wants to change the king of the East China Sea as emperor, and the queen mother also wants to replace it with a new young puppet as soon as possible. Thinking about it, Han Ruzi realized that he really had no choice but to see the queen mother and explain the matter clearly. Only in this way can the coming catastrophe be alleviated.

It's ridiculous to say that Han Ruzi went to visit the Empress Dowager in the Cishun Palace every morning, and often listened to the government with the Empress Dowager in the Qinzheng Hall in the morning, but the two of them were always separated by a human wall and a house wall, and they met very rarely.

Thinking about it carefully, Han Ruzi felt that the Empress Dowager didn't want to see him. If the Empress Dowager's words were still somewhat believable, since he was not born, he had already been hated by the Queen of the East China Sea.

She slept in Qiuxin Palace overnight, and in the early morning of the next day, Han Ruzi gently pushed the queen to wake her up.

He no longer needs to keep the promise he made to the King of the East China Sea, and he can touch the queen, but that's all. The two of them have no other ideas, and they talk until midnight and fall asleep.

The queen was sleepy, and for a moment she forgot that she was in the palace. She thought she was at home, and said vaguely: "Mother, let me sleep again..." After lying down for a while, she realized that she hurriedly opened her eyes, her face turned red Fortunately, the room is still dark, covering most of her shyness, "Your Majesty... wake up."

Strictly speaking, this is the first time that the two share the same bed. Han Ruzi used to be on a couch before, and only went to bed for a while in the morning.

"Did you sleep with your mother before?" Han Ruzi recalled his childhood life, which was all a few years ago, and he suddenly felt that he had grown up a lot.

"No, I'm accompanied by a wet nurse. My mother... is very busy, and we have many brothers and sisters."

"Oh." Han Ruzi blushed slightly, "I'm not... I want to ask you something, can you see the Queen Mother?"

"Of course, won't Your Majesty come with me to meet the Queen Mother later?"

"I mean face-to-face meeting, the kind that can talk."

"Well——since I entered the palace, I have met the Queen Mother a few times and had a few conversations, but not many times. Every time, the Queen Mother sent someone to call me over."

"The next time the Queen Mother summons you, can you pass on a message for me?"

"Okay, what do you say?" The queen didn't know much, she just vaguely guessed that the emperor was in danger, and her duty was to do everything possible to help.

"I want to meet the Queen Mother and tell her some truths."

"Okay." The queen agreed reluctantly, not because she was unwilling, but because she was confused. She sat up slowly, with the quilt in front of her, "Can your majesty tell me what happened? If it's the Cui family..."

Thinking of breaking up with her family, the queen hesitated again.

After the conversation last night, Han Ruzi has completely believed in the queen, but he doesn't want to tell the truth, because his truth is too cold, and it is a sharp sword that will hurt innocent people. Only those who are fully armed and ready to fight Only people, such as the Queen Mother, can bear it.

"I'm really sorry, I can't say many things yet, because...that's all my own guess, and it may be a big mistake. Only the Queen Mother can find out the truth."

"Your Majesty, you don't need to say more, I understand. As long as I am summoned by the Queen Mother again, I will definitely pass on the word." The Queen didn't think this matter was so difficult.

"Thank you." Han Ruzi said sincerely, and now he is sincerely grateful to everyone who can help him.

The queen's face was a little red again, and she said softly: "Your Majesty don't have to be so polite to me."

A loud voice came from outside the door: "The holiness of the Son of Heaven begins in the east. It rises at sunrise and rests at sunset. Diligent in the world, virtue is everywhere..."

"Come in." Han Ruzi shouted, the only way to stop the outside voices, and then whispered to the queen: "I really want to meet this man, his voice is so loud...not like a eunuch."

The empress shrank her shoulders and laughed. After many days in the palace, she finally felt like the emperor's wife.

When they went to Cishun Palace to meet the Empress Dowager together, Han Ruzi once had the idea of ​​rushing directly into the room to meet the Empress Dowager, but he did not implement it. He was surrounded by Zuo Ji and other eunuchs, and the Empress Dowager and a group of female officials stood at the door of the room. His actions will only be seen as madness, or even hatred for the Queen Mother.

Han Ruzi performed the whole ceremony in a regular manner.

The queen was sent back to Qiuxin Palace, Han Ruzi was about to go to Lingyun Pavilion, Zuo Ji stood in front of him, pointing in another direction, "Your Majesty, please go this way."

This round of lessons from the queen mother is not over yet, Han Ruzi has to admit that the trick of the empress dowager and Luo Huanzhang is really ingenious, and now he can't gain the trust of the queen mother at all, even if he meets, the truth he tells may not be accepted by the queen mother. really.

Not long after walking, Han Ruzi found that he was not taken to the Tai'an Palace of the emperor, but the Compassionate Palace of the Empress Dowager.

He was placed under house arrest again, and he was placed under house arrest in the Palace of the Empress Dowager.

In the backyard of the Compassionate Palace, Zuo Ji gently stroked the scar on the corner of his mouth, and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty is here to rest well and recharge your batteries. The Empress is young, and Tong Qing'e is dull and boring. I will send someone better to teach Your Majesty the relationship between husband and wife." Dao, this time His Majesty won’t be pushing back and forth again. Alas, His Majesty is really in the midst of blessings but doesn’t know how to be blessed. It’s the dream of all the men in the world to take a trip to Gentle Country.”

"Is it your dream too?" Han Ruzi asked, since the other eunuchs and court ladies didn't follow, he didn't need to pretend to be obedient all the time.

Zuo Ji's face darkened, and his fingers rested on the scar, "I'm not a man, my dream is different from your majesty's. It seems that your majesty hasn't learned the lesson yet, could it be that Wang Meiren..."

"I have learned my lesson," Han Ruzi said.

Zuo Ji snorted in satisfaction and turned to leave when Han Ruzi suddenly said, "Don't you want to know who told me about Xianyin Pavilion?"

Zuo Ji turned around slowly, squeezed out a painful smile, "That's right, I'm not His Majesty's enemy, what's the benefit of going against me? Tell me."

Han Ruzi closed his lips tightly and stared straight at Zuo Ji.

Zuo Ji didn't understand the emperor's intentions, and gradually became angry from embarrassment, took two steps forward, and said in a low voice: "That's enough, don't think that if I call you 'Your Majesty', you are really the emperor, you are not even a puppet, just a piece of clothing. Decoration, I can clean it up as I want."

Han Ruzi looked back at Zuo Ji, wanting to see if his "decoration" really had no deterrent effect.

Zuo Ji didn't make a move, but backed away, the murderous look in his eyes gradually disappeared, he hummed twice, all he showed was bluffing.

Han Ruzi didn't speak until then, "I've already told you the answer, it's because you haven't woken up."

Zuo Ji was stunned, "Answer? When did you..." He suddenly understood something, looked around nervously, as if there were outsiders hiding in the room, "You mean...it's impossible...no, it's very possible, she's jealous I took away the queen mother's special favor, her gaze..."

Zuo Ji stopped talking to himself, gave the emperor a hard look, and turned to go out.

Whether this eunuch will retaliate against the imperial concubine, and how, Han Ruzi can't even guess. He only knows one thing. Among all the plans that have been arranged, he is the most unlucky one. Let the plans of all parties be more and more chaotic.

For the Empress Dowager, everything went well. She came over in the evening to check the situation in the house. Before leaving, she said, "Your Majesty has returned to the old place, are you used to it?"

"Very good, thank you for taking care of the imperial concubine, I will trouble you in the future." Han Ruzi said respectfully, the expression on his face told the imperial concubine: I will entrust you with everything.

The Empress Dowager smiled sweetly, "Your Majesty rest at ease."

Han Ruzi watched the empress dowager leave, feeling horrified, and at the same time gloated a little. He really wanted to know the result of the fight between Zuo Ji and the empress dowager sooner.

The palace maid came in to tidy up the house and serve the emperor to bed. Han Ruzi thought he had lost Zhang Youcai and Tong Qing'e, and felt very regretful. After going to bed and turning off the lights, the waiter withdrew and the two came in again.

Han Ruzi didn't know at first, until one of them touched the bed and called "Your Majesty" in a trembling voice, he immediately sat up on the bed, "Tong Qing'e... are you all right, where is Zhang Youcai?"

The voice of the little eunuch came from the door, and he deliberately lowered his voice, "I'm here, Your Majesty, let's see if there is anyone outside."

These two people are very cautious, Han Ruzi is more at ease, he needs them now more than ever, "Did Zuo Ji trouble you?"

Tong Qing'e was still in shock, her voice was trembling all the time, "He sent someone to lock us up, saying that he came to clean us up at night, but he just asked a few words, and sent us to the Palace of Compassion, I thought... ..."

She couldn't continue, Zhang Youcai added in a low voice at the door: "I thought we would never see Your Majesty again, Your Majesty, did you think of a way to save us again?"

This cannot be miscalculated, but when Han Ruzi provoked the relationship between Zuo Ji and the imperial concubine, he did not expect to save them. What it says is: "Well, I transferred Zuo Ji's anger to others, and this person deserves what he deserves."

Tong Qing'e in front of the bed and Zhang Youcai at the door said "oh" at the same time, as they expected, in the eyes of others, this is still a puppet emperor, but in their hearts, the image of the emperor is getting bigger and bigger.

Han Ruzi needed their gratitude and awe, and asked, "You said that the slaves in the palace have their own channels, and I want to know more about them."

Zhang Youcai also walked to the bedside at some point, and said, "Is Your Majesty going to have a palace change?"

The courage of the little eunuch sometimes surprised the emperor, but Ruzi didn't have such big ambitions, and he didn't think that the palace change could be successful, so he said with a smile, "Not yet."

Zhang Youcai did not give up, and said again: "Your Majesty, do you still remember Qiu Jizu and Shen Sanhua?"

Han Ruzi was even more surprised, "Remember, they are assassins."

"Qiu Jizu is indeed an assassin, but Shen Sanhua is not. We all know this very well in our hearts, and we all want to avenge him. Only His Majesty can help us, and we are willing to serve His Majesty."

Han Ruzi was shocked, "Who are you...?"

"Eunuchs and court ladies must live too. Your Majesty, we are a bunch of hard-working people." Zhang Youcai said.

The little eunuch's words were so smooth that Han Ruzi couldn't help but suspect that someone else taught him these words.
