Chapter 21: The Verge (Part I)

Zhong Lishuo heard Wen Shumei's voice outside the door, and suddenly felt puzzled. Early in the morning, what is she doing here? It shouldn't be because he didn't say goodbye, and besides, he had already asked his subordinates to send her favorite things back, didn't she know that she was with Chuchen last night?

No way. Zhong Lishuo quickly denied his idea again. Wen Shumei has never heard herself talk about the existence of Chu Chen, and when she came out on this trip, the people she brought with her were all cronies, and no one would tell her about it. But even if she knew, it wouldn't be impossible. Now that he and Chuchen are husband and wife, even if she wants to marry Chuchen in the future, she must not be able to say anything. But then again, if Wen Shumei knows about Chuchen and herself now, she will definitely have a fight. If she tells her father Wentai about this again, I don't know what kind of trouble will happen.

In this way, it is better not to let her know.

Zhong Lishuo thought to himself, and gave his subordinates who were standing beside him look panicked, and the subordinates immediately nodded, and the two of them naturally understood in their hearts. No matter how Wen Shumei asks for a while, this one is going to help her lord speak.

Before the master and servant could communicate more, the door was pushed open. Wen Shumei stood at the door, frowning, her face was a panicked look that could not be hidden, as soon as she stepped into the door, she smelled the pungent smell of wine in this room, and couldn't help but hurriedly cover her mouth and nose with her cuffs, and bowed slightly to Zhong Lishuo:

"Your Highness, you should be careful of your body, and you will hurt your body by drinking." Zhong Lishuo flicked his hand, and the expression on his face was a little stiff:

"En. How did you know I was here? Zhong Lishuo replied as he walked to his bed. Wen Shumei got up and followed, and when she saw the messy bed, she couldn't help frowning:

"That's ••••••" Before the words came out, I saw my subordinates standing on the side, and I couldn't help but shut up. Zhong Lishuo turned around and saw Wen Shumei's expression, knowing that she minded having others by her side, so he said:

"Out of the way. Chen Tong is my close confidant, you continue. Hearing this, the subordinate called Chen Tong clasped his hands into fists and saluted Wen Shumei. Wen Shumei still cares about this, and continues:

On the night of His Royal Highness's departure, the mother concubine sent someone to send news from the palace, saying that her father was suddenly seriously ill, and the imperial doctor was helpless. However, His Highness was not in the house at that time, and His Highness did not tell anyone about his whereabouts. Wen Shumei said in a hurry, but Zhong Lishuo frowned:

"And how did you know I was here?"

"On the day His Highness left, the entourage sent a gift to Mei'er and came back, thinking that the entourage might know where His Highness went, so he went to him and asked, so he rushed over overnight." Wen Shumei said hurriedly. Zhong Lishuo was stunned after hearing this, so to speak, this time he came out, and his personal attendant Zhang Song really did not come out. Let's not talk about whether Shumei's matter of finding herself is really urgent, let's just say that he revealed his whereabouts. Zhong Lishuo had already decided that he would never trust him again.

"Oh. Then hurry back and go back. After speaking, Zhong Lishuo fished out his outer clothes from the depths of the bed. Wen Shumei came forward to change his clothes, and he just stood there and let him dress himself. But I didn't know that when Wen Shumei was changing her clothes, her eyes were constantly looking at this room.

The room was full of alcohol, but there was a faint Chinese smell of a woman's scent, perhaps not smelled, but from a woman's intuition. This instinct made Wen Shumei feel terrified, but she really didn't see anyone else coming out of the house until she entered the house. How she wished she had felt wrong. But looking at the bed that was already in a mess, it would make people think of going elsewhere.

She couldn't help but slanted her face to look at her subordinate Chen Tong who was standing on the side, but saw Chen Tong's unnatural face. This made her even more suspicious. But without conclusive evidence, she can't say anything. Besides, it's just a woman, and the sons of ordinary rich and noble families can have three wives and four concubines, not to mention that their husbands are princes, and having a few women is naturally not a problem. But why did her heart suddenly hurt, she felt more and more wronged, but she didn't know how to say it. She loves Zhong Lishuo so much, otherwise she wouldn't marry him by herself, even if she knows that Zhong Lishuo is only for her father Wentai, and her father can help Zhong Lishuo win the throne, if this is removed, maybe Zhong Lishuo doesn't have much friendship for her.

But even if she knew. She is just a little woman who wants to live a happy life, all she wants is that the person she loves can love her, even if it is only a pitiful little, it is better than nothing. But how could she put up with it silently? She was born as a daughter, and she has been married to Zhong Lishuo for more than four years, and she has never given birth, isn't it because of this Zhong Lishuo that she falls in love with others? If so, where should her face go?

The more Manjushri thought about it, the more she thought about it, the more chaotic she became, and she couldn't help but stop the movements of her subordinates. Zhong Lishuo couldn't help but be shocked when he saw Manjushri's thoughtful expression:

Did she find out?

But Zhong Lishuo is not such a person who has no city government, whether he knows it or not, he must always find out first, so he attached Manjushri's hand to his hands and asked with a slight smile:

"What are you thinking?" Wen Shumei was startled, and raised her head to meet Zhong Lishuo's eyes:

"No, nothing." Zhong Lishuo saw Manjushri's charming expression and relieved himself. She didn't find out. Thinking so, he patted the back of Wen Shumei's hand with his fingers:

"Then hurry back, there is still a long way to go. If it's too late, the mother will be angry. After speaking, he took Wen Shumei's hand and walked out.

Zhong Lishuo's subordinate Chen Tong silently followed them out. Subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, just now it really scared him to a cold back. Remembering the conversation between Zhong Lishuo and Wen Shumei just now, I couldn't help but be stunned again, could it be that the war was about to start so soon?

Zhong Lishuo and Wen Shumei sat in the carriage, both of them having their own concerns. Zhong Lishuo was thinking about what kind of difficulties he would encounter after returning to the palace this time, or if there was a bigger conspiracy, and Manjushri Mei was only concerned about whether Zhong Lishuo was obsessed with other women because he failed to give birth.

"Your Highness, Mei'er wants to ask you for something." Manjushri suddenly opened her mouth and interrupted Zhong Lishuo's train of thought. Zhong Lishuo was stunned:

"Huh?" Manjushri looked straight into Zhong Lishuo's eyes, and there was an expectation on her face that could not be hidden:

"Mei'er wants to ask His Highness to give Mei'er a child." As soon as these words came out, Zhong Lishuo was stunned, and couldn't help but think of what Wen Shumei meant. Manjushri seemed to see his stunnedness:

"That's the case, His Royal Highness has always been busy with important things, and he doesn't have much time to accompany Mei'er, Mei'er is indeed lonely and lonely. So Mei'er thought about giving birth to a boy and half a girl to His Royal Highness as soon as possible, so that she could accompany Mei'er in her spare time, and Her Highness could also devote herself to big things. Zhong Lishuo listened, pondering Manjushri's words.

She didn't ignore what she said, but now that the season is urgent, the war is about to break out, and she can't spare any other time to take care of a child. This kind of thing, when he takes power, it is not too late. So, he reached out and took Manjushri in his arms:

"Mei'er, I know what you mean. But there's really no time to think about it right now. Let's wait a few days. ”

When Wenjushri heard this, she also understood what Zhong Lishuo meant. She didn't want to say anything more, so she leaned on Zhong Lishuo.
