In the Emperor's heart, the Empress was his goddess, a cinnabar mole in his heart. He had long cherished the Empress to his bones and could not bear to see her being wronged.
Even though the Emperor was wary of Cao Guozhang and was dissatisfied with some of Cao Guozhang's actions, that had nothing to do with his beloved Empress.
"Darling, don't be sad, zhen's heart hurts." The Emperor hugged the Empress and gently rocked her like he was coaxing a child: "Zhen scolded Wang Yuxian because he was not good, it has nothing to do with Guozhang. How come Shu fei and Xiang pin dare to laugh at you because of this? The hougong meddling in politics, do they not want to live? "
"Emperor." The Empress softly leaned on the Emperor's shoulder, "Chenqie has monopolized Emperor's favor since entering the palace. They are naturally jealous, chenqie can understand. But Emperor is in the prime of his life, chenqie is gradually becoming a faded flower. Chenqie is afraid that one day, Emperor will find a new lover and not want chenqie. "
As the Empress spoke, tears fell from the corners of her eyes and dripped onto the Emperor's dragon robe, staining it a few times.
The Emperor's large hand held the Empress' slender waist and his other hand gently stroked her long hair, "How can that be? We are the one who is truly old, but you are still so young and beautiful, just like when we first met. "
The Empress shook her head and sat up straight with her hands on the Emperor's shoulders. She looked deeply at him.
"Emperor, how can you say this? You are the True Dragon, Son of Heaven, long life. Also, you are not old at all. After using Tian Jizi's elixir, you are even more energetic. Chenqie is … … "
She lowered her head with a red face. The Empress' bashful appearance and certain words made the Emperor feel light. He did feel that after taking the elixir, he was even more vigorous and confident that he could live to a hundred years old.
The Empress hesitated and said: "Emperor, chenqie is not the True Dragon, Son of Heaven like you. I have purple energy to protect my body. Chenqie is old. Look, the corners of chenqie's eyes."
The Empress gently caressed her bright and beautiful face and said, "Your Majesty, this concubine knows a prescription to retain one's youthful appearance. Tian Jizi told this concubine a few days ago, but the primer is somewhat difficult to obtain."
Seeing that the Empress was no longer harping on the matter of him punishing Wang Yuxian, the Emperor finally let out a sigh of relief. He was happy that she had changed the topic, so he asked, "Yurou, what kind of medicine did you say it was? I am rich in the four seas, and the world is mine. As long as it exists in the human world, as long as you want it, I will get it for you. "
The Empress blushed and said in a tender voice, "The Tian Jizi said that the medicine that your concubine is going to take is rare. In fact, it's not rare. We have it in the capital. It's just that I'm afraid it'll be a bit difficult to use."
"Tell me, I will settle it for you." The Emperor enjoyed seeing the Empress act coquettishly and coquettishly when she asked him for something. It greatly satisfied his sense of accomplishment.
The Empress' voice became gentler, "Your Majesty, the Tian Jizi said that your concubine needs the exquisite heart, beautiful bones, and fragrant flesh of a yin beauty born in the year of Ji Mao, the month of Wu Chen, and the day of Ding You to be used as the primer."
"Oh?" The Emperor was a bit surprised. He didn't expect that the primer would require a living person.
But after thinking for a bit, he smiled and said, "This isn't difficult. I will send out a document and search everywhere for a person born in this year. A yin beauty? Then you need a beautiful woman? "
Seeing that the Emperor had agreed, the Empress felt that there was hope. She anxiously pulled on his sleeve and said, "Actually, the Tian Jizi has already calculated who this person is. It's just that your concubine is afraid of making things difficult for Your Majesty, so I don't dare to say it. "
The Emperor laughed and said, "You clever little girl, tell me. No matter who it is, I will find that person to use as a primer to retain your youthful appearance."
"Then your concubine will tell you. Your Majesty, you can't be angry or misunderstand me."
"What? Do I know this person?"
"Yes." The Empress nodded and said, "This person is not someone else. She is from the Qin Clan, the legitimate daughter of the Marquis of Anping. She was born in the year of Ji Mao, the month of Wu Chen, and the day of Ding You. Her birthday is on the fifth day of the sixth month. If Your Majesty doesn't believe me, you can ask someone to calculate it. "
When the Emperor heard this, he was silent for a moment.
After a while, he said, "Qin Meng only has this one daughter. I'm afraid it's not appropriate to ask him to offer his daughter as a primer."
The Emperor naturally still remembered that in the Duke Ding's Mansion, Sun Yu refused to give him his brain and tried to commit suicide. He felt a bit conflicted when he thought of such a similar thing.
The Empress frowned in grievance, "Your Majesty, what are you saying? The world is yours, and the people in the world are also yours. No matter what, Qin Meng is still your subject. Isn't there a saying, 'If the monarch wants the subject to die, the subject has no choice but to die'? Your Majesty didn't want him to die, you just want his daughter. If he doesn't offer her up, then he has a rebellious heart. "
These words were very skillful. Every sentence poked at the Emperor's untouchable weakness. The Emperor was in a high position. The first thing he cared about was his unshakable god-like status, and the second thing he cared about was the loyalty of his subjects.
Wasn't the existence of the Qingtian Alliance today because he wanted the lives of the people of the Duke Ding's Mansion to rebel?
He wanted Sun Yu to sacrifice himself for the country, and Sun Yu dared to commit suicide.
He wanted the lives of the men of the Sun Family to appease Da Zhou's anger, and the remaining women of the Sun Family dared to create the Qingtian Alliance to rebel and even dared to assassinate him.
He was the monarch of a country, the ruler of thousands of people. Could it be that he couldn't make a decision for such a small matter?
Moreover, the Zhaoyun Agency of the Sun Family was now in the hands of the Qin Clan. Although Cao Yuqing had investigated and confirmed that the Qin Clan had nothing to do with the Qingtian Alliance. In the end, the Qin Clan was the granddaughter of the Qingtian Alliance's leader.
Qin Meng was truly loyal, and he only had this one bloodline.
But so what?
His imperial power absolutely couldn't be infringed upon or despised by anyone!
The Empress saw the Emperor's uncertain expression. With her understanding of him over the years, she could already guess what was going on.
She wrapped her arms around the Emperor's neck and used her soft body to rub against him, "Your Majesty, could it be that you don't want chenqie to stay young forever, to accompany and serve Your Majesty like this? Could it be that Your Majesty doesn't like chenqie? "
The Empress's rubbing successfully attracted the Emperor's attention. He immediately became restless.
Tian Jizi's elixir could make him vigorous until he was a hundred years old. If the Empress became old early, how could his life have any fun?
Moreover, his little darling only wanted a primer to stay young. It wasn't an excessive request.
Thinking of this, the Emperor smiled and said, "Fine, I'll do as you say. Who told zhen to love you? Later, zhen will think of a way to get her. "
When the Empress heard this, she smiled and kissed the Emperor, "Chenqie thanks the Emperor for his love."
The Emperor's large hands wandered around her body, "You want to thank zhen? What are you going to use to thank me?"
"Your Majesty." The soft voice was captivating.
The Emperor swept the memorials on the table to the ground and pressed the Empress on top of it …
At this time, the guards and eunuchs standing in front of the Imperial Study felt embarrassed. Among them, there was a young eunuch whose face turned red. He quietly moved a few steps away, as if he couldn't hear the sound inside.
When the eunuch saw his little disciple acting like this, he couldn't help but laugh, "Xiao Yuzi, what's wrong with you? Why are you twisting around? Are you attracted to maggots?"
Xiao Yuzi's face turned red, "Master, I, I, I want to go to the toilet."
"You little monkey, you can't do it like this? Let me tell you, there will be a time for you to learn in the future. If you want to go to the toilet, then go quickly. Don't make a fool of yourself here. "
Xiao Yuzi scratched the back of his head and quickly ran away. The guards and eunuchs couldn't help but laugh.
Xiao Yuzi quickly ran to the toilet. Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, he hurriedly avoided people and wrote a note. He used the old method to send it to the Eastern Palace.
When Yuchi Yan was eating lunch, he received the note from a young eunuch. When he saw it, his face turned white and he almost knocked over the bowl of porridge in front of him.
He was first shocked, then angry. He was so angry that his entire body trembled as he muttered, "Demon Empress, Demon Empress! She deserves to die! "

The Marquis of Anping's Residence was in a celebratory mood these two days.
Cao Guo Zhang's disciple was accused and stripped of his position as the Minister of Appointments. Cao Guo Zhang was also reprimanded by the Emperor for not doing his job well.
On the other hand, Qin Huaiyuan, who facilitated the successful peace talks and impeached Cao Guo Zhang, was a meritorious official and was greatly rewarded.
These days, rewards were continuously sent to the residence. From gold, silver, and jade wares to snacks that the Emperor thought were delicious, he didn't forget to send a portion to the Family Qin.
This kind of honor was truly something that many people couldn't achieve in several lifetimes.
Old Madam was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth. She only felt that her eldest son really gave her a lot of face.
The Cao Family's loss made her not so warm to Cao Yuqing. On the contrary, the Qin Yining, who was able to enter Prince Zhongshun's eyes, was valued by Old Madam. Even the Sun Clan's status rose as a result.
Now, in the entire capital, who didn't know that Prince Zhongshun would rather throw away a lot of money for the sake of the Family Qin's Fourth Young Miss? He would rob the execution ground and give her a residence.
Even when they encountered Tatan assassins, he didn't forget to bring the Qin Fourth Young Miss onto the back of a horse and protect her as they escaped.
The womenfolk of the Eight Great Families who saw Pang Xiao at Ning Garden that day had truly seen Pang Xiao's charm up close. When they chatted with their close friends in private, they would mention a thing or two. Like this, one spread to ten, ten spread to a hundred. Now, who in the upper-class circle didn't know that Pang Xiao was extraordinarily handsome?
Since Great Zhou and Great Yan had reached a peace treaty, they had become friendly nations. Naturally, friendly nations could marry each other openly.
Such a handsome man was also a hero with illustrious military achievements. In his hand, he also held the commander's seal of the 100,000 Tiger Army. He was truly awe-inspiring. Such a great hero was naturally yearned for by unmarried women. It was said that such an iron-blooded man actually fell in love with a woman. That kind of devotion was even more desirable and enviable.
Qin Yining became the object of envy of all the Dayan noblewomen. At the same time, he also became a bridge for Old Madam to curry favor with Prince Zhongshun.
However, if she couldn't curry favor with him, in the future, Qin Yining would become a concubine or concubine in Prince Zhongshun's manor. It would also be of great help to the Family Qin.
Therefore, Qin Yining was kept by Old Madam's side these two days to accompany her all day.
When Qiu Lu came to Ci Xiao Garden, Qin Yining took the opportunity to say that he needed to change clothes and called Qiu Lu to the corridor to talk.
"Why are you here now? Is something the matter? "
