Concubine Zeng Li's kneeling room was stunned, and the queen even more convinced that she had a problem, so she ordered the palace maid next to her to bring the bowl of soup.

"Did you say it yourself or did I ask you?" The queen asked Concubine Zeng Li with a heavy face: "Are you using this soup to harm the emperor?!" ”

"The queen's mother is angry, but the concubine is not." Concubine Zeng Li denied it.

"If this soup is okay, what are you doing on your knees?" The queen asked, looking directly at her.

"It's because the soup doesn't taste good." Concubine Zeng Li said with tears in her eyes.

"This is a joke, since it doesn't taste good, why do you always give it to the emperor?" The queen sneered: "Could it be that the cooks in the imperial dining room are all dead?!" ”

"Concubine Li, what the hell is going on? You make it clear to the Queen. The emperor was not angry, but he was noisy and had a headache.

Concubine Zeng Li just cried and didn't speak, and the queen ignored the dissuasion of the people around her, insisted on taking a sip, and spit it out before she could swallow it.

"What the hell is this made of? Why does it taste so weird? The queen was clearly furious.

"Go and call the imperial doctor and the head of the imperial dining room." The queen instructed, "Tell them to take a good look at what's in this soup?!" ”

Concubine Zeng Li didn't say a word, just sobbed silently.

After a while, the people called by the queen had already arrived, and the imperial doctor and the palm fan took the bowl of soup and looked at it carefully, sniffed it again, and tasted it again.

"His majesty, there are lilies, lotus seeds and meat in this soup, and there is no poison." The imperial doctor opened his mouth first: "But I don't know what kind of meat this meat is." ”

"Yes, this meat is not ordinary beef, sheep and pork, let alone poultry and fish." The palm fan also said: "According to the slaves, it seems to be human flesh." ”

"What?!" When the queen heard this, she immediately felt extremely disgusted, she tasted the soup just now, although she didn't swallow it, but after all, it was in her mouth.

"Concubine Li, how can you give me human flesh?" The emperor also felt disgusted.

"The queen mother, that's why the concubine doesn't want you to taste it." Concubine Zeng Li cried and said.

"Then why do you want to give it to Your Majesty? What kind of heart do you have?! The queen was disgusted and angry, and her tone became sharp: "No wonder Tai Shiling said that there is a Yin Star to hinder the master, needless to say, it is you!" ”

"No, mother, how can I harm Your Majesty?" Concubine Zeng Li explained sadly: "I just want Your Majesty to get better soon. ”

"That's nonsense! Come on, drag her out for me! "The queen didn't want to hear Concubine Zeng Li's explanation at all.

"Wait!" The emperor struggled to sit up: "I want to hear what the hell is going on." ”

"Your Majesty, don't listen to her quibbles anymore." The queen hurriedly walked over and hugged the emperor: "If I hadn't seen that she had a problem, she would have continued to drink human broth for you." ”

When it comes to human broth, both the queen and the emperor feel sick in their hearts.

But no matter what, the emperor still wanted to give Concubine Zeng Li a chance to explain.

"Your Majesty, the Queen's Mother," Concubine Zeng Li said lightly, tearing up, "Your Majesty is not feeling well these days. I just can't think about it. So I remembered that when I was a child, I heard the old people say that if someone is sick for a long time, as long as someone is willing to cut meat and stew soup, they will be cured after drinking it. Although this statement may not be true, seeing His Majesty's pain like that, I was moved by stupid thoughts. ”

Concubine Zeng Li kowtowed a few times as she spoke, and cried: "What I did was indeed a stupid thing, but I never had the intention of harming Your Majesty." If you tell a lie, you will let me die on the spot, and there will be no injustice! ”

"This ......" The queen wanted to say something, but the emperor had already gone to the ground, he pushed away the people who tried to support him barefoot, and picked up Concubine Zeng Li.

In the surprised eyes of everyone, Concubine Zeng Li was tightly hugged into his arms.

"Your Majesty!" The queen's heart sank to the bottom at once.

"All of you go down!" The emperor's face was extremely ugly because of his illness: "This matter is over, you are all for my good, so I will not blame anyone." ”

The queen still wanted to step forward, but the emperor exposed Concubine Zeng Li's wrist, which was wrapped in thick gauze, but the blood still came out.

"Queen, you work hard day and night, I won't go to Fengyi Palace, let's stay in Runzhi Palace." The emperor's intention to expel guests is already very obvious.

He did not deny that the queen cared about him, but he did not rule out that she had always been wary of Concubine Zeng Li, so once he found that Concubine Zeng Lifei's behavior was a little abnormal, he immediately suspected that she was the yin star.

And Concubine Zeng Li was infatuated with herself, and even did not hesitate to cut her flesh to treat herself.

If it weren't for the queen's step-by-step pressing, she wouldn't have let herself know at all.

In this way, it is clear who is wholeheartedly committed to themselves.

The queen walked a little embarrassed, and the scene of the emperor going barefoot to help Concubine Zeng Li repeatedly appeared in her mind.

The love between her and the emperor for more than 20 years has become worthless in front of Concubine Zeng Li, and it is extremely ridiculous.

"Your Majesty, lie down and rest." Concubine Zeng Li's eyes were a little red and swollen from crying, but she was still so gentle and considerate.

"Why are you so stupid?" The emperor held her wrist with pity: "People say that it hurts to cut the skin, and you have endured so many knives." ”

"Your Majesty, the concubine doesn't hurt." Concubine Zeng Li shook her head childishly: "It really doesn't hurt at all." ”

The emperor took her back into his arms and gently stroked her temples.

"Your Majesty, don't blame the queen," Concubine Zeng Li whispered in the emperor's arms: "The concubine is not to blame at all, because she and I have the same heart, both for you." ”

"I know, I don't blame her." The emperor comforted Concubine Zeng Li.

"I have already asked him to prescribe a prescription, and I have asked the imperial dining room to stew a blood-replenishing medicinal meal for you." The emperor said: "Be obedient, don't do stupid things anymore, rest well, and come back to see me when you have enough sleep." Otherwise, I will get angry, and my illness will worsen when I am angry. ”

"Okay, the concubine will go down and sleep for a while." Concubine Zeng Li nodded obediently, as long as the emperor threatened her with her body, she would be very obedient every time.

"Your Majesty, the crown prince and the three princes ask to see you." Qu Qing came in and whispered.

"I'm tired, no one wants to see me, tell them to come back another day." The emperor closed his eyes tiredly, and Qu Qing hurriedly retreated.

The crown prince and several princes had a closed door, and had no choice but to turn back.

After the wedding, the crown prince became more stable, and his elegant and delicate face always had a smile, which showed that he and the princess were very happy.

The third prince seems to have grown a little taller, almost as tall as the second prince. , just not as burly as the second prince.

"It's still early, so why don't you all go and sit with me." The third prince said with a smile.

"I'm not going, you're where Confucius moved---- it's all books, I have a headache when I read it." The second prince shook his head again and again.

"I'm not going either." The fourth prince is still young and playful, and he doesn't like to be confined in the house.

"I'll go." The prince saw that the other two people were not going, and if he didn't go, it would be too thin for the third prince's face.

So he followed the three princes to his dormitory.
