Work overtime

The emperor summoned his sister to the palace. Seeing that it was hard to disobey the emperor's order, Han Ziqian was anxious and wise, and said quickly, "Thank you for the gift. It's just that my fourth sister already has a lover, and the two are in love. Well, they are in love."

Li Beichen glanced at Han Ziqian with a frown, and said softly, "In that case, let's announce her entry into the palace tomorrow and I'll ask her what she means."

He has no hobby of forcing others to make things difficult or breaking up their marriages.But you must always ask clearly in person, so that you can do your best.

If she says yes tomorrow, then arrangements will be made to enter the palace immediately. Anyway, there are still new people in the palace who have not yet been blessed, and she is the only one;
If she says she likes someone, she will marry them immediately and get married after the national mourning period.

Anyway, there needs to be an explanation.

But Han Ziqian misunderstood Li Beichen's meaning, thinking that he was forcing his sister to enter the palace with an imperial edict in person, and looked at Li Beichen as if he were a scumbag.

He has already cut off his children and grandchildren for the sake of the country, the country, and the country. He has not even unpacked it and has not used it even once.The scumbag emperor wanted to force his sister inhumanely.

Han Ziqian was speechless.At this moment, he was slightly shaken by what he had believed in for so many years.

What kind of person is the person in front of me?After becoming an emperor, do you still remember your original intention when you were a prince?

This kind of confusion is even more silent and confusing than yesterday when I witnessed Jiang Yuebai tie the Crown Prince's head to his waist from a high place.

Li Beichen didn't see Han Ziqian's dissatisfaction. His attention was on the objects on the table, and he was sighing in his heart, Mr. Han is really a cruel person, he will do whatever he says, I am so kind to let An go back, but I am so stubborn.

Wait until you regret it later!
After pondering for a moment, he said slowly, "Young Master Han will go back and rest for a few days. It won't be too late to enter the palace after the injury is healed. Call Jiang Yuan envoy to come in. Call Liang Xiaobao to come in and get a brocade box to put this in."

Han Ziqian thought to himself, the emperor is quite considerate.The silk is soft and the shape is visible.It was difficult for him to speak just now, but the emperor was much more thoughtful than him.

Just as I was about to thank him, I remembered that I still had unfinished lines, so I turned around, walked back, knelt down again, and reported my work to the leader.

Li Beichen was looking at the big bag of things and wanted to open it. When he saw that Han Ziqian was back again, he immediately asked seriously, "What else does Mr. Han have to do?"

Han Ziqian kowtowed too hard, and there was a buzz in his head, "Back to the emperor, I was confused. I just forgot that the queen mother also told me something."

"What's the matter? Tell me quickly." Li Beichen sat upright and said eagerly.

"The last thing the Queen Mother told me was that Rui Jieyu was virtuous, wise, loyal, brave and loyal. She had helped the Queen Mother many times and was a life-saving grace to the Queen Mother. At the same time, she had made great achievements in suppressing rebellions and conspiracies, so she was promoted to the third rank. The concubine is given the title Ning as a reward."

After Han Ziqian finished speaking, he lay on the ground and looked down at the ground.

Anyway, she has already suffered the price of killing her family and losing her father. Anyway, she got an exceptional promotion. Anyway, she was hated by others. Anyway, she has no support from her family and can only rely on herself. So, I will be a good person and do good deeds, so I will give her another chance to help her get better. Upgraded two levels, and from now on no one would dare to bully her except the Queen.

Moreover, it was the Empress Dowager's decree to seal the Jin Dynasty, which directly sealed the coffin with absolute authority, and no one in the previous harem could reject it.The emperor is filial and will support and maintain him unconditionally.

In this way, except for the queen, no one in the harem would dare to bully her, not even Concubine Jing or Concubine He.

Yesterday, Han Ziqian witnessed Jiang Yuebai calmly put out the fire and kill the enemy bravely from a high place.

What shocked him the most was that she took such a big risk, suffered so much, shivered with cold in wet clothes in the middle of the night, and wanted to risk her life to save him.In the end, he was not greedy for credit and gave the great credit of killing the second son to a young boy.

The root of courage is benevolence, and the root of wisdom is sincerity.

In Jiang Yuebai, he saw the same kind.I saw myself who was independent from the world and had faith in my heart.

What's more, after making such great contributions, if he is a man, he can be promoted to a higher rank.As a harem woman, Rui Jieyu deserves a concubine position.

At the same time, such a Jin title is also beneficial to the Queen Mother, showing her wisdom and virtuousness.

It not only reflects the Queen Mother's magnanimity and magnanimity in repaying kindness, but also publicly demonstrates the royal family's full efforts to reward those who are enterprising and loyal.

This is true in the harem, and it must also be true in the former dynasty.Judging titles based on merit, even a poor family can stand out.

"Mother and Queen"

Li Beichen was shocked when he heard the Queen Mother's third last wish and was speechless for half a sentence.

This one moved him more than the previous two.He did not expect that not only was his mother not angry at him for promoting Jiang Yuebai to Jieyu, but she was even further promoted to concubine.

As far as he was concerned, this was a silent reconciliation between the Queen Mother and him before her death, an unconditional support for his position and his decision, and the deepest love between Aiwu and Wushi.

This made him suddenly relieved.

Just like a baby whose umbilical cord is finally cut, the bird finally breaks free from its cage.

Growing up, the Queen Mother was a very strong and authoritarian person, and she was very strict in disciplining him. She pointed out his shortcomings and deficiencies most of the time and rarely praised him.

An imperceptible smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he suddenly said to the silent Han Ziqian, "Master Han, please step aside first and wait outside the door. Thank you for accompanying my mother on her last journey with peace of mind."

"Your Majesty, please express your condolences and take care of yourself." Han Ziqian stood up after saluting, walked to the Emperor's side, lightly pressed the Emperor's shoulder and then took it away.

He is also a teacher, a friend, and a king and minister.

Like the cool breeze to the bright moon, like the mountains to the rivers.

it is more than words.

Han Ziqian already knew from the emperor's reaction that the emperor believed what he said, because this was exactly what the emperor wanted, whether it was for the Queen Mother or Jiang Yuebai.

The most important thing is that he never interacted with the former harem and had no interest in fame, fortune and official position. Including the last time he refused to be Jiang Yuebai's Go teacher in person, he had never had contact with the Queen Mother before, and he and Jiang Yuebai were strangers. , there is no interest involved. In the emperor's opinion, there is no motive for lying and no need to take risks for Jiang Yuebai's benefit.

Li Beichen looked at the Queen Mother's calm face and suddenly murmured, "Young Master, I will never have a queen mother again."

Han Ziqian said warmly, "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother has always lived in our hearts. As long as someone remembers her, she will still be alive."

Li Beichen held the Queen Mother's cold hand and remained silent.Han Ziqian waited for a while, and when he saw that the emperor didn't speak, he strode out.

Jiang Yu followed Liang Xiaobao in.Soon Liang Xiaobao came out carrying a black gold brocade box, which was even ceremoniously tied with brocade ribbons.

Han Ziqian held the brocade box and looked up at the sun, which was a little dazzling.At the end of his sight was the big tree where he and Jiang Yuebai hid together last night.

Some people are destined to live as a light, illuminating the darkness of others.

Today is a sad day, but also a happy day.

In the house, Li Beichen learned more about the cold poison and the Queen Mother's treatment information from Jiang Yu.Jiang Yu had to truthfully explain the consequences of cold poison to the emperor, just as recorded in Master Han Ziqian's notes.

At the same time, I had to tell the emperor that the sword wound on the Queen Mother's body had aggravated the Queen Mother's pain and the difficulty of treatment.The pain is comparable to slowly sawing off the wrist with a knife, and the devastation to the mind is comparable to the tens of millions of maggots under the flesh biting away at the bones in the body every moment.

According to medical records, people who were poisoned either died or went mad. Although the Queen Mother also screamed in pain and howled like ghosts and wolves, she was actually a person with extremely strong willpower compared to the torture she endured.

Hearing this, Li Beichen felt chills all over his body, and he felt more admiration and heartache for his mother.

"How can there be such a poison in the world? How is it refined?" Thoughts flashed through Li Beichen's mind and he asked in a deep voice, "Can you issue a decree prohibiting the refining and use of it?"

Jiang Yu pondered for a moment and replied: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid it's difficult to ban this poison. This poison is extracted from patients with colds, and is supplemented with other poisons to enhance its medicinal properties. It is extremely difficult to refine. Can this poison be refined in this world? I am afraid that people themselves are outside the law. Many drugs are intended to save people, but if you add a little something and increase the dosage, they become poisons that harm people. It is not the drugs themselves that are poisonous, but the people's hearts."

Li Beichen remained silent.

He took out the small box given by Han Ziqian and handed it to Jiang Yu, "Do you smell if this is poisonous?"

Jiang Yu smelled it, and a fresh herbal aroma came to his nose. He picked it up and looked at the sun, "I can only smell mint and wormwood in it. According to these two herbs, it should clear away heat and dry out dampness. It can kill insects, relieve itching, and treat swelling and pain, but I can’t say whether it is poisonous or not.”

Li Beichen frowned and said noncommittally, "You stand down first. It is my decree that before Rui Jieyu comes, no one is allowed to enter. Keep quiet and no noise is allowed. Anyone who disobeys the order will be whipped."

After Jiang Yu left, the room was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

Li Beichen knelt in front of the Queen Mother's bed, held the Queen Mother's hand, rested his head on the Queen Mother's arm, and wet the Queen Mother's sleeves with his tears.
