The whole life of rebirth

Chapter 8

"Empress, His Royal Highness is here to see you." Liu Xu informed the Empress who was copying Buddhist scriptures. The Empress has been talking about His Royal Highness for the past two days, so she must be very happy now.

"Zhao'er? Why did he suddenly think of coming to this palace?" After copying the last few words, the Queen put the writing brush away, stood up, took the handkerchief from Liu Xu's hand, and cleaned her hands. She couldn't hide her face. smile.

"Come on, don't make this little friend wait." Look, she must be anxious to see Bo Xuanzhao.

Liu Xu watched the queen walk out in a hurry, and used paper to suppress the scriptures that had been copied.

After returning from Lingwang Temple last month, the empress devoted herself to transcribing Buddhist scriptures, but don't let the copied Buddhist scriptures be blown away by the wind.After tidying up the desk, Liu Xu turned and followed the queen.

"I have seen the queen mother." Although I saw the queen at the palace banquet last night, I never had such a close contact.

His mother, who died suddenly before his 17th birthday in his previous life, looks healthy now. "How is the mother's health recently?"

The queen pulled Bo Xuanzhao to sit on the soft bed, and looked at her son carefully, "I am in good health, but you, why did you suddenly enter the palace?"

Bo Xuanzhao left the palace to build a mansion when he was 11 years old. Since then, he only visited the palace on the first and fifteenth day of each month to greet him. Although he also came at other times, she always felt that something was wrong today.

"It was the royal father who summoned the son and minister to the palace." Bo Xuanzhao did not hide anything from the queen. Seeing the queen frowned, he continued: "Although the father did not specify it, but the son heard that the concubine Xin wanted to send her to the palace." My niece told me."

The queen's hands tightened a little, but seeing that Bo Xuanzhao's expression showed nothing unusual, she relaxed.

The queen is the former prime minister and the only daughter of the prince Taifu Zonglou. Zong Yutong, who was once the most talented woman in the capital, married her when Bo Tianyuan was still the prince.

After Bo Tianyuan came to the throne, he became the queen logically.Zonglou resigned from office and returned to his hometown on the grounds of advanced age.

Zong Ping, the eldest son of Zonglou, who is now an official in the court, is the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment.But Zonglou's second son returned home with his father and did not appear in the court hall.

Bo Xuanzhao remembered that after the death of the empress in the previous life, Zong Ping grandly asked to open the coffin for an autopsy on the main hall, but Bo Tianyuan did not agree.

After the big state funeral, Bo Tianyuan didn't punish Zongping, but dismissed Zongping's officials, and ordered the Zongping family not to be an official in the court within five generations.

When Bo Xuanzhao went to see Zongping off, Zongping asked him, "Don't you want to know why your mother died?"

At that time, when he dreamed back at midnight, he always saw Zong Ping with red eyes, and asked him tearfully, "Don't you want to know why your mother died?"

After that, Bo Xuanzhao began to investigate the cause of the queen's death, but he still had no clue.It was also during this process that he found out that his little uncle, Zong An, whom he hadn't seen much, was the well-known landlord of Tingyulou.

Tingyulou is truly the No. [-] building in the world. In Changli Kingdom, Tingyulou's industries can be seen everywhere, including restaurants, pawnshops, and casinos...

No one knew that Tingyulou was actually the property of the Zong family.Soon after he knew, the emperor died suddenly.When he ascended the throne, he encountered a life of a puppet for 15 years.

"The queen mother should pay more attention to her daily diet." Bo Xuanzhao felt a chill when he remembered what he found in his previous life. Someone poisoned the queen's meal. When I was at home, I found out the old events.

"Liu Xu, everything sent from outside will be disposed of secretly, and the mother's meal will only be prepared in the small kitchen." The daily meals of the emperor, empress and concubines in the harem will be tested for poison by Liu Xu with silver needles.

Before the Queen's death, Liu Xu was put into the prison for assaulting Concubine Xin.The man confessed that the poisoning was done by Queen Mother Zhao herself.

Liu Xu originally had a slight smile, watching the Queen chat with Bo Xuanzhao, but when she heard this stern face, what does His Highness the Crown Prince mean?

"Slave obeys the order." She is a dowry maid who came out of the Zong family. If there was no Zong family back then, she might have been sold into a brothel by human traffickers.

The queen has also lived in this inner palace for a long time, so she naturally understands the ways of doing it, "Zhaoer is troublesome."

The son has grown up, and he is no longer the cold-faced child who grabbed her sleeve. "A few days ago, the Japanese Palace went to Lingwang Temple to offer incense. I heard the abbot talk about your marriage. He said that your marriage has been fixed in the previous life, so you don't need to force it."

However, Concubine Xin's hand was so long that she stretched it out on her son, "Concubine Xin's movement, the hand is a little too long."

She has always been tolerant towards concubines in the harem, but she would not tolerate someone going past her. This concubine Xin has only been in the palace for a few days and she has acted like a demon. "With your mother and queen here, naturally you won't let outsiders interfere in your marriage."

When Bo Xuanzhao was about to leave, he left Die Ying with the queen. She was the only woman among the eight shadow guards around him.

Die Ying is best at identifying poison and medical skills, but usually her medical skills are used to harm people, not to save them.After all, it is more reassuring to keep one more hand.

On the way back to the house, I passed the restaurant of Tingyulou, looked up, and there was an open window on the second floor.There is a faint figure behind the gauze curtain, and that person is looking at him, waving a folding fan.

Bo Xuanzhao curled his lips into a smile, and got off his horse. "Yuan Suo, you go back to the Prince's Mansion first." Handing the reins in his hand to the boy at the door, he strode in.

"My lord, the crown prince has come down." The shopkeeper was an old man with a strong body and a voice like a bell, so he should also be a master.

Faint conversations came from behind the door, and the old shopkeeper Uncle Fu turned sideways, "His Royal Highness, please."

Bo Xuanzhao walked in, and there were only two people in the spacious room.A man dressed in black was pouring wine into a wine glass, but it was his cold-faced uncle Zong Ping.

And the Mr. Ya who was shaking the fan he saw downstairs was his little uncle Zong An whom he had only met a few times in his previous life.Two people, one has a bad temper, and the other looks like a handsome young man.

"Elder uncle, younger uncle." After greeting him very accommodatingly, he sat on the seat facing the window.

Zong Ping put a wine glass in front of Bo Xuanzhao, and filled it up without saying a word.Zong An snapped his folding fan shut, "This little Zhao'er is much more hostile than when he was a child."

After looking around for a few times, I said with emotion: "I think when I first saw you, you were still a small one, pink and tender. Now it's better, the longer you grow, the more you look like a big brother."

"Hmph, what's wrong with me?" Zong Ping gave Zong An a sideways look, then raised his head and drank the wine in the glass.

"Okay, okay, stern and selfless Minister of the Ministry of Justice, who doesn't know your reputation." The more he said this, the more veins on Zong Ping's head, he picked up a piece of chicken breast with his chopsticks, and stuffed it into Zong An's mouth, "Is it okay to eat?" I can't keep your mouth shut."

There was a smile in Bo Xuanzhao's eyes, he was hungry after tossing until noon, and used some in Changxian Villa in the morning.

Picking up the chopsticks in front of him, he took a mouthful of the fish-flavored shredded pork with an attractive color. After eating it, he had to say that Tingyulou's chef was really skilled.Then he thought about bringing some pastries from Tingyulou to Ru Liangyu tomorrow morning.

"Little uncle, when does your restaurant open?" Bo Xuanzhao felt a little funny watching Zong An struggling to chew the chicken breast in his mouth.

After Zong Ping glanced over with a knife-like look, he abruptly suppressed his smile and took a sip of the wine in the glass.

Zong An swallowed the chicken breast in his mouth, drank two mouthfuls of beef soup, and then answered Bo Xuanzhao's question. "It's open at Maoshi. Xiao Zhao'er has something to eat, so my little uncle can have someone deliver it to your house."

"Then I'm going to trouble you little uncle, how about sending some pastries and light snacks there tomorrow morning?" With the speed of his horseback riding, he will rush to Changxian Villa, so naturally he won't be able to delay the time for breakfast, and Ru Liangyu likes to eat Light stuff.

Then he added worryingly: "Little uncle, ask someone to wrap up the food tightly, so it doesn't get cold."

Zong An saw his nephew's face full of spring, he probably had someone in his heart.Why do you think there is such a big gap between people and people? Zong Ping's dead face, he fell in love with the accountant in his building...

Cough cough, this accountant is a woman.After seeing it, I don't give him some cute little gifts, just run to him every day and drink some boring wine.

Man, how weird.

Zong An sighed in his heart, and in a blink of an eye the shopkeeper was summoned to arrange the delivery of food to Bo Xuanzhao tomorrow morning, so he couldn't ruin his nephew's good deeds.
