Who among the gangsters wants to fall in love?

Chapter 112 I Will Do Justice for You
Inside the imperial city, snow was falling, the lights were on and the moonlight was falling. The dense snowflakes flying in the sky outlined intricate and intricate shadows under the dim light.

Several palace maids carried stacks of exquisite fruit plates and walked along the corridor leading to a magnificent palace.

Kunning Palace is the residence of the current queen. However, according to the current situation, within a month, as long as she does not die, she will become the empress dowager.

The hall was paved with pure white jade tiles. White steam was rising in the room and fog was everywhere. Several palace maids, wearing only bellybands, were holding wooden trays in their hands. On the trays were the queen's crimson phoenix skirt and gold-thread bellyband that she had just taken off.

Crash---

The sound of water was heard, and a tall woman with hips wider than her shoulders stepped into the pool hazily in the mist and slowly lay down. Ripples were stirred up in the pool, which hit the edge of the pool and then flowed back to their original direction.

Unfortunately, it was intercepted after hitting the equator and part of the center of the northern and southern hemispheres, and collapsed in the middle.

The queen squinted her eyes, leaning against the pool naked. Due to her thick capital, her equator floated above the water surface. She let out a long sigh and said:
"On a winter night, there is nothing more relaxing than taking a warm bath."

A woman who was also naked knelt beside the pool, occasionally raising her hand to scoop some hot water for the queen to splash on her body. Her eyes moved when she heard the words, but she leaned forward slightly and whispered in the queen's ear:

"Lian Xue has heard that doing that with a man... is the most comfortable thing in the world."

The Queen closed her eyes and just smiled faintly when she heard the dirty talk. "You dead girl, if you want a man, I will allow you to leave the palace and marry. Bring me the indenture..."

"Ah, no, no, no, I just think that Your Majesty has been staying in Kunning Palace all day since entering the palace, and she is too lonely. The late emperor..." Lian Xue, the queen's personal maid, thought that the new emperor had not yet ascended the throne, and it would be disrespectful to directly call Emperor Jingzheng the late emperor, so she quickly said:
"Your Majesty has been sleeping in the Taiji Palace for the past ten years, leaving the Queen alone in this huge Kunning Palace. This is really too cruel."

As she spoke, Lian Xue sighed softly, "This deep palace is really not a place for people to stay. This Kunning Palace has everything, but it's like an exquisitely decorated birdcage, locking up the queen."

"Hmm." There was still no emotion on the queen's face, she just uttered a faint nasal sound... She was tired of being resentful, lonely, crying, and sad in the past ten years. At this moment, she had already gotten used to the life of a widow in the deep palace.

"The late emperor only loved the former queen. I entered the palace only to suppress the ministers in the court." The queen's slender arms gently stirred the water and she said casually:
"But I don't like the late emperor either. If he wants to come to see me, I won't bother him. This is good. I don't have to sleep with someone I don't love... But staying in the palace for ten years has been miserable."

The Empress was not afraid of Emperor Jingzheng at all. She entered the palace just to prevent her beloved niece from suffering any grievances... But she did not intend to suffer any grievances herself. On the first night she entered the palace, she even prepared a pair of scissors under her pillow. If Emperor Jingzheng wanted to force himself on her, she would commit suicide immediately.

If she died, it would be a huge scandal. I believe Emperor Jingzheng would not dare to take the risk.

Fortunately, Emperor Jingzheng had never touched her in the past ten years. Even when they met, they only met when they attended some important festivals together. They never disturbed each other at other times.

The Queen was also happy with this.

"In the past, you could go out of the palace to Qingjianzhai to buy some jewelry and rouge, or go to Guangze Street to buy some snacks." Lian Xue's voice was lost, "Unfortunately, after the prince's accident, Your Majesty no longer has even this little power."

The Queen was silent for a moment, and did not say much about the Crown Prince. Instead, she asked curiously:

"When I went to the Imperial Garden this morning, I heard several palace maids talking about a man from the Jianghu. Their tone was excited and curious, as if he was the most handsome man in the world who had captured their hearts... I think his name was Zhao Wumian. What is his background?"

Hearing this, Lian Xue sighed again. The Queen Mother was so bored that she could only ask about the gossips of the palace maids to relieve her boredom.

She pursed her lips, recalled, and then said:
"I have heard of him, too. He is well-known in the capital. People in the streets and alleys are talking about him because he once offended the King of Jin and stole the King of Jin's horse in the street. Later, when he came to the capital, he not only did not hide his identity, but instead said in front of the whole city, 'You come to kill me'...

...For the people of the martial arts world and the idlers in the market, he is the most admired person, but I think he is too reckless and arrogant, and if he were to meet the queen, he might offend you in some way. "

"Don't treat him like a fool. How can someone who can make the King of Jin suffer a loss be just a name for nothing? He probably has his own reasons for doing so." The Queen nodded slightly, and found it somewhat interesting. But to the Queen, Zhao Wumian was just a courageous man of the world, and there was no way he could have anything to do with her. He was just asking because he was bored.

So she made a brief comment and closed her eyes again, enjoying the hot bath, and asked, "Any news about Chaoyan?"

Lian Xue shook her head slightly, "The legitimate princess has not returned to the palace yet."

"When that girl was little and lived with her mother in Kunning Palace, she once secretly went to Guangze Street to buy stinky tofu. I have seen her before."

Lian Xue was slightly stunned, "How did the queen recognize her?"

"Stupid, I was also the eldest daughter of the Shen family before I entered the palace, so I naturally attended palace banquets." The queen's tone was a little nostalgic, and she smiled slightly.
"She was still young at the time, and she just took a gold ingot to buy stinky tofu, which scared the vendor. If I hadn't paid for her, she probably wouldn't have been able to buy the stinky tofu."

"Oh..." Lian Xue blinked and found it funny, "The princess likes to eat stinky tofu?"

The smile on the queen's face gradually faded, and then she shook her head slightly, "No, she bought it for her mother... The former queen liked to eat stinky tofu, but there was no such low-class stuff in the palace. The former queen was shy and was embarrassed to ask the imperial kitchen to make it specially for her."

Lian Xue laughed, "I have never seen the legitimate princess, so she must be a very good person."

"Yes..." The Queen sighed softly, "These political affairs are too inhumane. Chaoyan is such a good child, but now she has ended up being hunted down by the whole world."

Lian Xue comforted her, "There is still no news about the princess, which at least proves that nothing has happened... And I heard that there is a mysterious man who has been protecting the princess. That mysterious man has been protecting the princess for so many days, so he must be very powerful, and completely different from that Zhao Wumian...

...Although Zhao Wumian is courageous, he is too reckless. If he were to protect the princess, something bad would happen within three days."

"Why do you always mention Zhao Wumian?" The Queen asked in confusion, "You look down on him on the surface, but actually you admire him in your heart?"

Lian Xue shook her head like a rattle, "I just happened to mention him just now... Madam, please don't think that I want to get married. Wherever you are, I will be there. If you want to live in Kunning Palace for the rest of your life, I will also live here with you for the rest of your life."

"Ha ha……"

As they were talking, a palace maid hurried over the screen and said, "Empress, there's a fight going on outside Kunning Palace!"

The queen was slightly stunned, turned around and looked at the palace maid, and her eyes, which were lazy and casual just now, now seemed to have light. Living alone in the deep palace, her days were exactly the same one after another, and now there was something exciting to watch?

She stood up directly, splashing water. Lian Xue did not expect the queen to stand up suddenly. She only felt as if her face was hit by a heavy ball, which was a little painful.

But the queen still maintained her dignity as the mother of a country and asked the palace maid to wipe her body. It seemed elegant, but in fact she was anxious and couldn't help asking, "What's going on?"

"A guard was patrolling outside Kunning Palace. He spotted a thief and immediately drew his sword and chopped him down."

"You have a hot temper. Aren't you afraid of killing the wrong person?" The queen frowned slightly, then put on her phoenix skirt and walked out in a hurry, her tone faintly excited.

"Let me be the one to administer justice."
