The old emperor's pupils were dilated several times in an instant, and his face was filled with disbelief.

Of course the old emperor knew about this matter. When this matter spread to Beiyan last year, there were always rumors that it was done by King Chen’s people. Although he didn’t believe it at the time, Nantai It would be most beneficial to Bei Yan if something happened to the prince, and among his sons, only King Chen had this ability.

"If that's the case, why doesn't he ask for credit?"

The old emperor was a little puzzled. Logically speaking, someone with such a big credit can come to him to ask for reward, but Why not only did he not come, but he kept hiding it from the world?

He Jiuniang gave him a white look and said, "Do you still need me to tell you the reason? Don't you know it by heart?"

Sorry, that's really not the case. So the old emperor looked at her in confusion.

He Jiu Niang did not show off and said: "It's not because His Highness King Chen is not favored. Do his people dare to come in front of you to ask for rewards? Besides, it's just your distrust of King Chen. , I will definitely feel that he is threatening your empire again by doing this. Don’t talk about rewards when you lose time. Just don’t find an excuse to deal with people.”

She is really not afraid at all now. The old emperor could say whatever he wanted to say anyway. The old emperor was almost mad to death every time, but he also liked to listen to her.

Sitting in his position, there are not many people who dare to tell the truth to him. It is quite rare to suddenly meet someone with such courage.

When the old emperor heard what she said, he did not refute it. If King Chen really did this at that time, he might really attack Lu Baichuan because he was afraid of King Chen.

"Not only that, my husband has done a lot more. Anyway, if he wants to be promoted, he will naturally rely on his own ability. There is no need to take advantage of me. Do you understand, Your Majesty?"

He Jiuniang said that she had already begun to withdraw the injection. The old emperor ignored her and said: "The emperor's condition is quite stable. I will go back to Jingzhou tonight and come back in a month." You perform the acupuncture, and you must follow my requirements during this period, otherwise your persistence these days will be in vain. Anyway, remember, anyone who wants to give you beauties will be pulled down and beheaded. "

The old emperor nodded, and it took him a while to react, and asked: "You are leaving tonight?"

"Yes, didn't I say that? I My son is still waiting in Jingzhou. I will come back to you for a follow-up consultation after I go back for a while. Your condition is very stable. Just take your medicine on time. The detoxification process is very slow. It is estimated that it will take three to five years."

After putting away the needle, He Jiuniang began to pack the medicine box.

The old emperor hurriedly asked: "Then don't you want your husband's contribution? HeHis meritorious service is enough to serve in the capital. "

He Jiuniang shook her head: "Of course we can't do without merit, but now is not the time for the truth to be revealed. Now if we give him a reward for this meritorious service, then Nantai will keep an eye on him. By then, our family will Can people still live a stable life? Therefore, I hope the emperor will not spread this matter to outsiders, and we can just know it ourselves. "

Us?

The old emperor licked his lips, and for some reason, he felt a little happy because of this title.

In In her heart, he and they are one of her own?

Suddenly she felt a sense of recognition. Obviously he didn't need it, but she just felt very happy.

" Ahem..."

Realizing that his smile was a bit obvious, the old emperor hurriedly pretended to cough twice, straightened his face again, and then said seriously: "In this case, let's remember it for now. Well, it won't be too late to talk about merit and reward when the time comes. It's just that I can't give you a title now, but the reward cannot be less. Besides, you treat me, so I can't give you nothing..."

"Let's do this, I will reward you with some fields and Zhuangzi. , gold, silver, cloth and so on, come..."

The old emperor gave He Jiuniang many things. He Jiuniang smiled so hard that she couldn't close her mouth and asked: "Your Majesty, why do you say that? What do you believe? Aren't you afraid that your wife will deceive you? "

The old emperor rolled his eyes: "You are not capable of lying to me. ”

He is old, not stupid.

There are some things that he deliberately pretends not to know, but there are many things that he knows clearly in his heart.

He Jiuniang nodded and said with a smile: "That's right, I dare to tell you this, it will definitely not be false! However, King Chen has done a lot of things that are beneficial to the country in recent years. You can't pretend not to know. Ask yourself with your conscience. If King Chen hadn't been handling these things in these years, how could you and other princes be so leisurely? Is it a battle of wits and courage in the capital of the country? Maybe it had been attacked and fallen by Nantai and Dongting together. ”

Some words, after finishing the point, He Jiuniang felt that she had said enough, so she deliberately said: "Oh, I won't say it anymore, I am a woman who doesn't understand anything." , I pissed off the emperor for a while, it would be bad to take back these rewards. Hey, your Majesty, please have a good rest, my wife has resigned! "

After saying that, she asked the four or five maids around her to come forward and help her move the big box containing gold and silver out.

Several of the maids looked at each other and glanced at the old man. Emperor, the old emperor waved his hands impatiently, OK.

Several people then worked hard to help.

Over the past few days, they have finally figured out that over the years, the emperor has refused to accept anything but Mrs. Lu.

It was clear that Mrs. Lu said some irritating words, and the emperor was so angry that he could hardly breathe, but he would not lose her temper and even gave her so many rewards. .

In the past few days, they had eaten a lot of big melons, but they couldn’t tell anyone, and they felt a little panicked.

He Jiuniang had just received the reward, so she was naturally very generous. After the maids helped carry the box onto the carriage, she rewarded each of them with a silver ingot and said, "Thank you all for taking good care of the emperor during this time. There is no sexual intercourse for these seven days, and it can only happen once every seven days thereafter. You must keep an eye on it!"

The maids nodded repeatedly: "Yes, the slaves must take good care of the emperor."

He Jiuniang remembered that the day she first arrived, these palace maids and eunuchs were not very interested in talking to her. After a few days, their attitude became more and more eager. As expected, she had to have a good relationship with the old emperor. Only when she can speak well can the people around her look good on her.

No matter what era, human nature is like this.

Every day when He Jiuniang entered the palace, Lu Baichuan would wait for her at the entrance of the palace. After knowing that she was just treating the old emperor normally, and that the old emperor would never bother her again, Lu Baichuan's mood became much more stable. Standing at the gate of the palace, you can chat and laugh a little with the guards guarding the gate, and even exchange opinions and give pointers. After only two or three days, the relationship will be very good.

"Hey, sister-in-law is out!"

The guard guarding the door was the first to see He Jiuniang's carriage and hurriedly opened the door to let Lu Baichuan go in to greet her.

Good brother, the back door is still open at this point.
