It was two months since he was brought to the Ganqing Palace. In the first half of the month, he often talked about returning to the Shoukang Palace, but he almost didn't mention it afterwards.

Every day, I either ride a bicycle around and play around, listen to Xie Lang telling stories, or I am detained by Xie Lang to study in the imperial study room. My life is fulfilling, so naturally I don’t have time to think about anything else.

She had long left behind the empress dowager behind her, and she was not: she would not spend any effort on the other party if she was related.

On a late autumn night, a hot pot meal was enough to dispel the chills all over the body. After eating the pot, a layer of sweat broke out on his forehead, making his whole body feel refreshed.

The two of them walked outside for a while and evaded their food. Xie Lang told him a chapter of Journey to the West and was about to coax him to fall asleep.

"Second sister, is the monkey taken away by the Buddha really a six-eared macaque? Could it be the Monkey King?" the little guy asked with a frown, looking very upset.

Xie Lang was slightly stunned, then curled his lips and chuckled, and stroked his head twice, "Who knows this? You are still young now. Even if you tell you many truths, you won't understand. When you learn more in the future, you will naturally understand. It's late at night, go to bed earlier."

"Oh!" nodded, and the fat man obediently closed his eyes.

Seeing that his breathing was stable, Xie Lang stood up and prepared to return to the imperial study to continue handling government affairs.

But I heard the little fat man's voice coming from behind, "Second Sister, do you believe in Buddhism?"

"Don't believe it!" Xie Lang looked back at him, "People should not believe in those illusory things, believe in themselves and sleep."

"Okay!" This time the fat man fell asleep completely. After all, he was a child who fell asleep very quickly, and it may be because he was tired of playing during the day.

Xie Lang naturally does not believe in Buddhism, she is an atheist.

Many people worship Buddha to be at ease, but if you do not do anything wrong, where can you find peace of mind?

If you do something wrong, can you not repent with your sincerity? Just bow to the Buddha and your sins will be cleared?

After the morning court that day, the court officials sent Xie Lang away and were about to leave and go to their respective yamen to work, they were stopped by Shuangxi.

It turned out that the bicycle was built, and the emperor rewarded them with one car.

They have seen Shuangxi riding bicycles around many times, and have long been coveted by this light and convenient road tool, and now they can finally get one.

As for how to learn in the future, it is their own business. Shuangxi explained the tips for cycling to the adults present, and they have to understand the rest themselves.

The diet of Dazhou is basically low in oil and salt. Ordinary people cook vegetables in water and then add some salt. If the conditions at home are better, oil or meat will be added. Although this is also a stir-fry, the taste of these stir-fry is not good because of the single seasoning.

Xie Lang is an emperor, and the diet in the palace is naturally top-notch. Even so, after eating it for two consecutive months, I still feel a little tired of it.

Apart from the salty and sour, it is sweet. Although the dishes are rich, it only ends here.

After eating a pudding, Xie Chen licked his lips with satisfaction and began to lower his head to do the questions.

These questions were all given to him by Xie Lang. They are basically mathematical questions of addition and subtraction, and they can only learn multiplication and division after he has figured it out.

Shuangxi came in from outside at this time and saw Xie Chen here. He walked to Xie Lang and lowered his voice: "Your Majesty, a palace maid died in Shoukang Palace."

She frowned instantly, "What's going on?"

Seeing him looking embarrassed, Xie Lang said to the fat man who was lowering his head to count, "Xie Chen, go outside and ride a bicycle."

Xie Chen raised his head and pouted, "I haven't finished it yet."

Just as I was in the mood, what is the second sister doing?

The child is studious, so she will naturally not get angry. She stood up and came outside the hall with Shuangxi, just treating it as a break from reading memorials.

"I went to interrogate it before, and heard from the man in the same room as the palace maid that he seemed to have been insulted by the Queen Mother and could not bear the humiliation and committed suicide."

These words made Xie Lang feel curious, and an unknown smile appeared on the corner of her lips, "Go to Shoukang Palace to take a look."

"yes!"

I haven't been to Shoukang Palace for two months. Compared to before, I seem to be in a state of disgrace. Because there are fewer people in the palace and neglect to take care of it, I seem somewhat lonely.

The imperial guard guarding outside the hall saw her and knelt down to pay tribute. She nodded and stepped into the palace gate.

Shuangxi pushed open the hall door in front, and an uncomfortable smell suddenly came to her. Not only Xie Lang, but even Shuangxi thought it smelled bad.

It seems to be caused by moldy smell, or long-term ventilation, which causes the indoor air to not be circulated.

When I opened the bead curtain, I saw the once glorious empress dowager leaning against the beauty couch, two palace maids kneeling beside her, serving her to eat fruit.

When they saw Xie Lang, the two palace maids quickly turned around and said, "I will meet your majesty."

Xie Lang walked to the window and reached out to push the window open. A cold wind whistled in, making Empress Dowager Yao, who was lying on the beauty couch, shiver a few times.

"Serious girl, do you still dare to appear in front of Ai's family?" Empress Dowager Yao rushed forward with a ferocious face, as if she was about to tear Xie Lang apart.

Xie Lang would not be spoiled by her odor. As he waved his hand, a slight flash of lightning rushed into Empress Dowager Yao's body. Everyone saw her who was still crazy just now. Her whole body was trembling at this time, and she fell to the ground with a hunched over, with her facial features still twitching wildly.

"Is there someone dead in Shookang Palace?" She said lightly, and she walked to a chair and sat down, looking at the two palace maids kneeling on the ground.

Hearing this, the two of them trembled, "Your Majesty, it was Sister Magpie who was in the same room as Zhenzhen who committed suicide by jumping into a well in the fourth update."

"What caused it."

The two of them looked at each other with their heads tilted, their faces pale, and their lips were whispering and they didn't dare to reply.

At this time, Shuangxi should come forward, "It's all mute. Your Majesty asks you, but you dare not answer?"

The two trembled and hurriedly begged for mercy: "Your Majesty, please spare me. Sister Magpie was forced to death by the Empress Dowager. Yesterday afternoon, the Empress Dowager ordered Sister Magpie to pinch her legs. The Empress Dowager was not satisfied and ordered Sister Magpie to strip her clothes and kneel outside the hall for two hours."

Xie Lang couldn't help laughing out loud, looked at Empress Dowager Yao who was lying on the ground in a mess, and said, "Empress Dowager Yao, you are really good at playing."

Empress Dowager Yao knew that she could not help Xie Lang, but she still refused to admit defeat. She glared at her with her eyes, wishing that her eyes could turn into sharp blades and cut her into pieces.
