Early this morning, the emperor called Zhao Kuangyin and Guo Shao to the palace together. Fu Hou knew about this, and she was always worried about it, waiting for the results to be announced at all times, but she did not look like she cared about it.

...

In the Zide Hall, she was listening to the nonsense of concubines and palace ladies, and enduring that the wet nurse was holding Chai Zongxun, a child who was less than three years old, and taught him to "health of mothers". The child didn't know anything, and spoke in a slight voice, calling Fu Shi upset, but she wanted to act like a kind look.

Chai Zongxun was born to a concubine before Chai Rong ascended the throne, and the woman died after giving birth to a child; in addition, Chai Rong's children were all killed, Chai Zongxun was the first new male, so she was extra favored and adopted Chai Rong's wife Fu in order to give Chai Zongxun a higher status.

But Fu actually dislikes children the most. It seems that after a woman has a teenager, she should focus on a child who doesn’t understand anything. She has to live back and become an idiot so that she can continue to play with a child all day. Many women are like this, but Fu is upset when she sees the child. Moreover, Chai Zongxun was not born to her, and this child is just one thing for her, which can stabilize the position of the queen; she can’t throw it away, but she doesn’t feel anything.

Especially today, she was in a state of great pain. But the wet nurse kept teaching and correcting the child's pronunciation as the queen, and she was furious again and again. Fu was furious when she heard it. The concubines and palace wives around were also teasing Chai Zongxun "hip and hilarious" and were like a rare treasure.

Fu thought to himself: He was not born to you, do you really like him that much?

But she did not show her anger and irritability, but just said to the wet nurse calmly: "If you take him down, he is still young and can't be anxious."

Fu was very soothing when she spoke, without any expression. But when she was silent, her curved eyebrows and eyes seemed to have a faint smile, which made people unable to see through... Especially her tone was not at all turbulent, which made people unable to figure out her smile. The faint smile looked like the spring breeze, beautiful and gentle at first glance; but if someone dared to look closely at her eyes, he could see a trace of fatigue and anxiety.

The wet nurse finally took the child away. Fu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and finally she was less troubled by her.

Outside the hall, the sun was shining, but she was too lazy to move... Now she could only sit on this couch and listen to the unintentional nonsense of the palace ladies. In public, they were quite particular about their words, and at least they wouldn't say anything boring.

Fu knew that everyone would look behind their backs about whom the official family had been lucky, and why that person was lucky. The competition for favor was very fierce... However, Fu did not participate in the competition for favor, so she was not interested in these topics. In the past, she could accept Chai Rong and thought that he was a very capable monarch, and his courage, ability and demeanor could make up for a lot. But since Huainan suffered a serious illness, Fu's heart has been completely different.

After hearing the words of the concubines in various palaces, she said, "It's okay, I'll just stop."

The women saluted and left the Zide Hall one after another with tact. In their eyes, the queen did not compete for favor with them and was kind and fair to others, so she still supported Fu as the leader of the harem.

Shortly after the concubines left, the eunuch Cao Tai entered, walked straight to the soft couch in the upper position, and whispered next to Fu's family: "Early this morning, I met a girl in the East City. She brought a story about what Guo Shao said: Zhao San's death is not my fault, and I will not kill Zhao San if I want to kill him."

Fu listened to the first half of the sentence without any movement, because she never felt that Zhao San's death had anything to do with Guo Shao... After all, Fu watched him grow from a young imperial guard to a senior general, and knew what he did very well. Trusting him would not make such mistakes.

But as soon as he heard the last sentence "I won't kill Zhao San, I won't kill him." Fu's curved eyebrows suddenly raised slightly, as if he was a little surprised, but soon there was an elusive smile on the corner of her mouth.

Cao Tai said something and stood beside him and remained silent. At this time, Fu turned his head slightly, Cao Tai hurriedly came over and heard her say softly: "Today, the official summoned Guo and Zhao, I want to tell me the result of the two of you."

Cao Tai did not ask the reason, but said, "Hey."

Fu slowly stood up: "I'm going back to the palace to rest."

She has been living in seclusion recently. She has been living in seclusion except when she meets concubines and palace wives and shows no desires. She used to persuade officials and manage military and political affairs, but never happened again. She seemed to have entered a hibernation period of keeping her low profile.

After the emperor returned to Beijing from Huainan at the end of last year, she paid close attention to the observation and felt that Chai Rong was in poor health after returning this time. She had to prevent all the precautions. In case of any change, beware of the emperor's vigilance against herself...

The current situation made her very uneasy. If Chai Rong died too early, according to the experience and lessons of the past, it would be difficult for anyone to control the situation under the old situation. Especially if there is no one or a soldier in the imperial guards, it will definitely not be able to control it. The only general of the imperial guards who Fu felt reliable and could fully trust was Guo Shao.

If she loses Guo Shao, she will not only be very sad, but also loses the ability to control the situation and is in a worrying situation... Fu can't help but think of the terrifying experience of the soldiers in Hezhong Mansion being in chaos and the turbulent riots.

And Zhao San actually wanted to assassinate Guo Shao, it's really damn! And Zhao Kuangyin, what exactly did he want to do?

A cold light appeared in Fu's eyes. Those people from the Zhao family were not only dealing with Guo Shao, but also putting me in a mermaid situation! Do they want me to end up like those countless women who were humiliated by warriors in the future?

Fu saw it very clearly that once Chai Rong was gone, the court could not engage in checks and balances at all... Only when the strong lord was in power could balance. In an uncontrolled situation, one must always distinguish between the height and the winner. If that day, Fu only hopes that this person is Guo Shao, not the arrangement of checks and balances; if those tricks are broken, they have to pay for everything. Fu's trust in Guo Shao is not a matter of course, she has verified Guo Shao's heart many times; if this person cannot be trusted, she does not feel that she can find a second person to rely on.

All righteousness and integrity are full, and people who are too stable care about things, Fu understands the taste of becoming someone else's chopping board meat in that critical moment. Even basic survival and dignity cannot be guaranteed. I still care about what your country name is, who will be the emperor?
