The next day, he wanted to bring some food to the Taixue, but was discovered by the palace servants who served him. The incident reached the ears of Queen Qin.

He was inevitably fined again.

After many years, he had long forgotten how he was punished, but he still remembered the feeling of being able to watch others eat and being hungry.

Hunger is actually nothing. What really makes him feel uncomfortable is the loneliness that no one cares about.

Luo Qinghan gently tapped the egg, peeled the shell, and ate the egg in one bite.

Now he no longer needs to envy others.

He also has people who care about himself.

The dragon chariot stopped at the gate of Changle Palace.

Luo Qinghan got out of the car.

At this time, the sun had risen, the rising sun dyed large clouds red, and the entire sky became gorgeous.

Kong Nushi had already been waiting at the door, so she quickly stepped forward to greet him and led the emperor into it.

At the door of the bedroom, Lu Xinyao was still kneeling.

She knelt here for a whole night, her face pale as paper, and her whole body was already shaking.

When she saw the emperor coming, she hurriedly lowered her head.

"My daughter pays homage to the Emperor."

The voice became particularly hoarse because he hadn't drunk water for a long time.

At this time, she lowered her head, revealing a piece of white and slender neck, and with her thin figure, she looked particularly fragile and pitiful.

Luo Qinghan didn't even look at her and walked straight into the bedroom.

In the bedroom, the Empress Dowager had changed her clothes, but she had not combed her hair, and her long hair was scattered behind her, looking haggard.

She looked at the emperor who was walking in steadily, and her heart was mixed.

She used to think that Luo Qinghan was a good and obedient and sensible child, but now it is proved that she has misunderstood.

He is actually a wolf in sheep's clothing.

The sensibility and filial piety he showed in the past were just his disguise.

After tearing off the disguise, the domineering and autocratic he showed was even far more than Emperor Sheng Yong.

Luo Qinghan: "My grandson greets the emperor's grandmother. Is the emperor's grandmother's health better?"

The Empress Dowager sat down a little, but her voice still seemed weak.

"How is the Ai family? Don't you see it all? Why bother asking this more?"

Luo Qinghan remained silent.

The Empress Dowager glanced at Kong Nushi.

Kong Nu Shi knew it and took all the people who served in the house to retreat.

The door was closed, and only the emperor and the empress dowager were left in the palace.

The Empress Dowager: "The Ai family doesn't understand. If the Ai family is really angry with you, you will definitely be the one who is criticized in the end. Are you not worried about your reputation being damaged at all?"

Luo Qinghan: "How others judge me is someone else's business, and what I want to do is my own business. Both have nothing to do."

The Empress Dowager looked at him steadily, her sharp eyes as if she was about to penetrate his skin and see clearly what he was thinking in his heart.

However, no matter how she looked at it, Luo Qinghan always looked calm and cold.

She couldn't see through him.

The Empress Dowager was silent for a long time before speaking again.

"The military talisman is indeed here at Ai's house."

Luo Qinghan was not surprised by this result.

The Empress Dowager sighed: "When the late emperor was still alive, he handed the military talisman to the Ai family.

He said that his health was getting worse and worse, and he was afraid that someone would steal the military talisman when he was seriously ill, so he asked me to help keep the military talisman.

In fact, the military talisman is useless to the Ai family.

The reason why the Ai family held it just in case.

The Ai family had already decided that when you marry the queen and have children, the court and harem will stabilize, the Ai family will hand over the military talisman to you.

In this way, both the Ai family and the late emperor could feel at ease.

Who would have thought that you didn't even want to wait for this little time, so you came to the Ai family to grab the military talisman.

You made the Ai family feel really uncomfortable."

Luo Qinghan said in a quiet voice: "Since the military talisman is useless to you, you might as well give it to me directly, so that it will also solve a major problem in my mind."

The Empress Dowager: "The Ai family said that it is not that the Ai family is unwilling to give you the military talisman, but now you don't even have a royal heir, the rear throne is hanging in the air, and the situation in the previous dynasty has not yet stabilized. It will not be much beneficial for you to hand over the military talisman to you at this time."

Luo Qinghan: "It is precisely because the court is unstable that I need to hold the military power in my hands."

The Empress Dowager: "After all, you just don't trust the Ai family."

Luo Qinghan asked back: "How did the emperor's grandmother trust me?"

The Empress Dowager stopped talking.

The atmosphere fell into a deadly silence.

Luo Qinghan was the first to break the silence this time.

He asked: "The emperor's grandmother called her grandson over here to say these words?"

The Empress Dowager: "The Ai family can give you military talismans."

Luo Qinghan didn't say anything, and waited quietly for her to finish her words.

Sure enough, after a moment of pause, the Empress Dowager continued to talk.

"In exchange, you must ensure the safety of the Lu family."

Luo Qinghan: "I will issue an imperial edict to pardon the Lu clan."

The Empress Dowager: "There is still a condition for the Ai family."

Luo Qinghan: "You said."

"Xinyao is a good kid.

Originally, the Ai family hoped that you would marry her, but judging from your appearance, you should not want to.

But Xinyao has already entered the palace, and everyone knows why she entered the palace.

Even if everyone doesn’t say it in person, they will definitely discuss her in private, which is not good for her reputation.

In addition, something happened to Duke Hong and the Lu family lost the pillar. It would be even more difficult for Xinyao to marry a good family in the future.

The Ai family wants to ask you to give Xinyao a marriage and let her marry a good family."

This was just a small matter. Luo Qinghan didn't think much about it and asked, "Does the emperor's grandmother have someone you like?"

The Empress Dowager: "The Ai family thinks that Prince Chenliu is good. He is now twenty years old and has not yet married. It is not a big deal to be so single. It would be better to give him a marriage to Xinyao, which can not only solve his lifelong affairs, but also resolve a major event in the heart of the Ai family."

Almost in an instant, Luo Qinghan figured out the purpose of the Empress Dowager.

Nie Changping, the King of Chenliu County, held the 50,000 Chixiao Army in his hand, and was a real powerful vassal king.

Moreover, he is a firm royalist. As long as Luo Qinghan is in power for one day, his position as the prince will not be shaken.

If he is lucky in the future, he may be promoted to prince.

The Empress Dowager asked Lu Xinyao to marry Nie Changping, and it was in the form of a marriage grant. On the one hand, he wanted to tie the Lu family and Nie Changping together, and on the other hand, he wanted everyone to know that the Lu family had not completely lost their holy heart, and the Lu family still had hope of resurrection in the future.

However, Luo Qinghan did not want to give the Lu family hope to recover.

The combination of relatives and military power is equivalent to raising a knife on the emperor's neck.

The Qin family is a bloody lesson.

Luo Qinghan would never be able to raise a second Qin family.

His eyes became increasingly indifferent to the Empress Dowager.

"I have my own opinions on Prince Chenliu's marriage. Please forgive my grandson for not being able to agree to your request."
