Dong Lingjiu's mood was visibly worsened because of this incident.
　　Indeed, this was a very good opportunity, enough for the Empress Dowager Dong to have the time and means to spare her mind to deal with this matter, this is for the public. But privately, the Qixi Festival will be the next day, and letting such political affairs ruin the Empress's mood, even Aunt Ruixue, who has been with her the longest, can't help but sigh secretly.
　　She thought that this year's Qixi Festival would be spent with laughter and joy.
　　On the sixth day of July, at night. Zheng Yuheng accompanied her all night, silently supervising the use of medicine and copying documents, watching Dong Lingjiu summon officials and dispatch the Internal Investigation Factory and Qilin Guards, etc., almost until dawn, everything was arranged.
　　The power mechanism in the hands of the Empress Dowager began to operate silently, radiating from a few officials to the entire court and even the world.
　　The candle burned all night, and the wax tears dried up.
　　Dong Lingjiu didn't care. Although she hadn't been busy like this for many years, it was definitely not too few. Only Zheng Yuheng was restless. After midnight, he wanted to say something but stopped himself several times.
　　He wanted to persuade the queen, but looking at her cold and resolute expression, he knew that he couldn't disturb her at this moment.
　　If she was really ignorant of the government and was only favored by her appearance, she could have ignored everything and stepped forward to advise her. But it was precisely because Zheng Yuheng knew about government affairs that she understood how serious this matter was. If she was a little slow, she might be discovered by the termites with a keen sense of smell and find a way to escape and avoid disaster.
　　Speed ​​is the essence of war, and attacking the enemy by surprise is useful in addition to military tactics, even in national affairs.
　　The sky was slightly white.
　　At this time, the commander of the Qilin Guard, who was summoned to the palace overnight, also bowed and withdrew, and the candlelight beside the desk was already flickering.
　　Dong Lingjiu tilted her head to look over. Just as she was about to speak, she saw Zheng Yuheng walk past Aunt Ruixue and personally go forward. However, he did not light the wick, but gently extinguished the candle on the lampstand. There
　　was more than one lampstand in the Cining Palace. There were palace maids holding lamps all around, adding lamp oil, lampshades, cutting wicks, and always doing their best.
　　Even if the fire in front of Dong Lingjiu was blown away, it was just a little darker. She raised her eyes and glanced at Zheng Yuheng, and said calmly: "Bold."
　　Zheng Yuheng walked around the desk and knelt in front of her. He was no longer afraid, no longer trembling, no longer intimidated, and said in a low voice: "I am guilty. Please take care of yourself, Madam, and go to bed first, and then punish me."
　　Dong Lingjiu looked at him and said: "Although I have always spoiled you, I didn't see that you were really spoiled."
　　She was not angry. Zheng Yuheng could hear that this was just a kind of instruction and reminder. His courage grew day by day. Even in front of the Empress Dowager, he dared to follow his own temper. At this moment, he said directly: "The Empress Dowager once said that she would follow the doctor's advice and listen to me. Could it be that the Empress Dowager, a great and noble person, would deceive me, a helpless young imperial physician?"
　　Look, he already said such words.
　　Dong Lingjiu was more than surprised, it was beyond her expectation. She looked at the young imperial physician in front of her again and said softly: "If I don't obey, you will also die on the pillar?"
　　What kind of family inheritance is this? Is this what the Zheng family's ancestral precepts are written about?
　　Zheng Yuheng bowed his head and said: "I dare not."
　　He was too bold. In the past, he felt guilty and short of breath when talking to the Empress Dowager. He was timid to the point of awe. Now he still respected her, but he had lost his fear. He could almost see some inexplicable courage from being spoiled.

"You still dare not. There are still things you dare not do." Dong Lingjiu stretched out her hand and helped him up. Her hand was loosely wrapped around Zheng Yuheng's arm, and when she touched him, she realized that his clothes were already cool in the night. 　　

Zheng 

Yuheng stood up, but did not retreat. Instead, he held her wrist with his hand and whispered, "My queen, it takes a long time, not just a moment. I want to consider the long and short of yours, which is the long and short of 

　　... 

　　"It's been a long time." Zheng Yuheng repeated softly, "Okay?" 

　　Dong Lingjiu finally sighed. She touched the little doctor's cheek, her knuckles brushed across his chin line, and said, "Heng'er has misled me." 

　　Zheng Yuheng was very confident and stared at her intently. 

　　Fortunately, at this time, there were only some deeper and more meticulous chess pieces that had not been arranged. Dong Lingjiu explained a few words to Ruixue, and was actually persuaded by Zheng Yuheng to put these things aside for the time being. The 

　　faint light from the sky shone on the window lattice. 

　　The candlelight in the front hall was still on. It must be Aunt Ruixue who was making arrangements. Since Zheng Yuheng followed in, the other maids and servants were all dispatched, at least to serve behind the screen. 

　　In the back hall of the soft red scented tent, the little doctor Zheng never thought that there was really no one to help him, so he had to bite the bullet and take off her jewelry and change her pajamas under the scrutiny of the Empress Dowager. 

　　Dong Lingjiu did not call for help. 

　　Zheng Yuheng was tortured by her gaze, pursing his lips and carefully removing the jewelry. Although his movements were unfamiliar, he was very careful, so he was steady all the way and there was nothing wrong. When he changed his clothes, Zheng Yuheng began to regret it - why did he swear so early, what about not having any covetous intentions, this retribution came too quickly. 

　　His hand stopped on the waist ornament of the gorgeous clothes. 

　　Zheng Yuheng paused, and couldn't help but move his hand away, looking hesitantly outside the screen, wanting the female officials to come and save him, but the pearl curtain was drooping, and the outside of the screen was silent, and even a shadow or sound could not be caught. 

　　Dong Lingjiu asked: "What's wrong?" 

　　Zheng Yuheng said: "Your Majesty..." 

　　"Aren't you going to accompany me to bed?" she asked. 

　　Zheng Yuheng: "..." 

　　He, he just slipped out accidentally when the words came to his lips. If Zheng Yuheng hadn't been so worried and sober just now, he would never say such words. 

　　Zheng Yuheng had to bear the consequences by himself. With a somewhat conflicted look on his face, he reached out to untie her waist ornament and took off the jade forbidden steps that were colliding with each other. " 

　　The New Book of Rong Jing" says: "Move with articles, and walk with jade." If the jade forbidden steps are too noisy, it is considered rude in the palace. However, Zheng Yuheng had been in the Cining Palace for so long that he suddenly realized that he rarely heard the colliding sound of the forbidden steps on the Empress Dowager. 

　　She was not a woman who was strictly bound by rules, she was the maker of rules and had her own grace and rules. 

　　Before Zheng Yuheng put on the belt, he heard Dong Lingjiu calling him: "Heng'er." 

　　"Well..." He raised his head, "I'm here."

　Zheng Yuheng was very tall and had to look up. But now, in order to serve her, he bowed down and was so humble. Under the candlelight, his handsome face almost added a loving touch.
　　She asked, "What were you thinking about just now?"
　　Zheng Yuheng said, "I was thinking about not moving on the queen's body. The etiquette is admirable."
　　Dong Lingjiu looked at him for a while and suddenly asked, "Do you want it to move?"
　　Zheng Yuheng was stunned.
　　Not only was he stunned, but his throat suddenly burned, and he thought of an extremely ambiguous meaning. He was choked by his own saliva, lowered his head, covered his lips and coughed several times, his eyes swaying, but he didn't dare to move to Dong Lingjiu.
　　Zheng Yuheng whispered, "I will be scolded to death. People will definitely scold me more harshly than the princess in the future."
　　Dong Lingjiu didn't know who her only daughter fell in love with, and didn't hear the second half of the sentence clearly. She just thought the little doctor was talking to himself in shame. She said, "Stand up, I'll teach you."
　　Zheng Yuheng didn't dare to think deeply about the meaning of "I'll teach you". He felt that he was so obscene and filthy that he should be thrown into a pig cage... No, no, he should cure the queen's body before being torn into pieces.
　　Otherwise, he really had nothing to repay the queen. Except for this face that looked a bit like the late emperor.
　　After Zheng Yuheng stood up, the queen mother hooked his fingers and led his hand to climb up the belt that bound the clothes, and gently teased the layers of knots and buckles on it.
　　The interlocking metal made a crisp click.
　　Zheng Yuheng's palms were hot, and his ears were also hot. He bit his lip and said, "Do I want to learn this...?"
　　Dong Lingjiu said gently, "Otherwise, how can you accompany me to bed?"
　　He said that in a hurry. Zheng Yuheng thought with guilt.
　　He didn't remember how to take off Dong Lingjiu's gorgeous clothes at all, and his mind was completely wandering. Dong Lingjiu didn't have to teach him, it was more like she was in a whim to get back at "Qingqing for misleading me", so she quietly bullied him.
　　Zheng Yuheng was held by her hand, and she always stepped back involuntarily until the long, heavy clothes fell to the ground. Compared with the female officials, these luxurious clothes fell to the ground as if they were worthless, without any signs of care.
　　Zheng Yuheng was about to pull himself away to pick them up, but was blocked by Dong Lingjiu. When he came to his senses, he was forced to sit on the edge of the couch.
　　The forbidden steps that never shook made a few noisy sounds in his hands.
　　Dong Lingjiu reached out and hugged him, closed her eyes, and rested her chin on his shoulder, as if protecting and covering, but also as if living, like a tired bird returning to the nest.
　　She liked this young body, liked his pure and clear, liked every moment when the little doctor Zheng was slightly cramped and a little immature... Even if he was just an ignorant vase decoration, Dong Lingjiu would love him.
　　What's more, Zheng Yuheng was so polite.
　　Although teasing the most polite person until he blushed, although it was mean and childish, it did allow Dong Lingjiu to satisfy some of her selfish desires. Sometimes she thought that the most effective thing was not the bitter juice or the maintenance pills, but Zheng Yuheng himself.
　　The princess still had some of her temperament.
　　Dong Lingjiu's body was very light, and Zheng Yuheng could hold him up. He was dry-mouthed and his thin lips were tightly closed, for fear that he would say something too rude.
　　Dong Lingjiu hugged him for a while and whispered, "Have you learned how to serve and change clothes?"
　　Zheng Yuheng said silently, "My qualifications are poor and I am not worthy of great use. For such a delicate matter, I still..."
　　Dong Lingjiu did not even blame him, and said, "Then sleep."
　　After that, she touched Zheng Yuheng's forehead, then passed him and entered the inside of the soft red scented tent. She felt tired and fell asleep soon.
　　Fell asleep already? Zheng Yuheng stared at her in a daze, lost in thought for a long time, then belatedly looked at his hands, looked at the gorgeous clothes on the ground, and fell into a deep confusion.
　　She fell asleep, what should I do?
