Chapter Twenty-Three: Each Bears a Ghost (Part I)

As soon as Zhong Lishuo's words came out, everyone turned their heads sideways and looked at him. The queen who was sitting on the edge of the bed was gently bent down to listen to the emperor at this time, and when she heard his voice, she also turned her head slightly, got up, and looked at Zhong Lishuo.

is already a woman over forty years old, and the skin on her face is obviously a little loose, probably because of a long time of pampered life, the color of her skin is still as white as a girl, but it is a little more vicissitudes. Dai's eyebrows are curved like willow leaves, but her eyes are so sharp, as sharp as piercing people's hearts. If you look closely, you will find that the queen's sideburns have grown a little gray hair, coupled with her gorgeous clothes and crowns, always with such an unapproachable feeling.

Wen Shumei knew that Zhong Lishuo didn't like the queen, and she didn't have a good impression of her. Not to mention how she treated Zhong Lishuo and her mother-in-law before, it always feels a little more like loving the house and Wu, but more, she always feels that this queen lives too sadly. In Wen Shumei's impression, a woman's world is her husband, and all she needs is her husband's love for her. For women like the queen and her mother-in-law, Jing Guifei, who only fight for power, she is indeed a little pitiful. Looking at the young women kneeling all over the ground, they are all women who share their husband's love with them, all of them are jeweled, but they are also scattered in the end.

"The eldest prince is here? Recently, I heard that the eldest prince is in poor health, but is he getting better? The queen opened her mouth lightly, and those words that seemed to be concerned were so harsh in Zhong Lishuo's ears. But she is the wife of her father, and she is the current queen, so she has to be respectful to her. But why did Zhong Lishuo feel more and more aggrieved and angry when he thought of this, he gritted his teeth:

"The son-in-law thanked his mother for her concern, and it was all right." Zhong Lishuo replied, his brows furrowed. Wen Shumei looked at Zhong Lishuo's gradually changing face, but she didn't know how to persuade her.

"It's all right." As he spoke, a strange smile rose at the corner of his mouth, and he flicked his sleeve:

"Although the body is already well, you can't kneel for a long time, get up." Zhong Lishuo got up in response, and Wen Shumei hurriedly stood up, standing behind Zhong Lishuo, looking obedient.

Zhong Lishuo raised his head slightly, watched the queen attach her body again, and whispered while lying on the emperor's body:

"Your Majesty, the eldest prince is here, do you want to say anything to him?" The voice is soft, with a faint sweetness, like the taste of marshmallows. If any woman kneeling on the ground got up and said this to the emperor, Zhong Lishuo would not feel extremely soft, not that the queen was so pretentious, and it was even a little disgusting.

"Well••••••" The emperor who was lying on the sickbed let out a long voice, stretched out his hand and wanted the queen to pull himself up, but the queen suddenly pressed the emperor's raised hand, with an anxious expression:

"Your Majesty, by no means. I was really scared to death yesterday by the concubine, but now it's better to lie down and talk. After speaking, he turned his head and said to Zhong Lishuo in another normal voice:

"The eldest prince came and spoke to your father."

Zhong Lishuo went to the emperor's sickbed, and when he came to him, he knelt on the bed, and put his ear close to the emperor:

"Father, the son is here. If you have anything to say, listen to it. ”

The emperor's eyes opened slightly into a slit, glanced at Zhong Lishuo, opened his mouth slightly, but saw that the empress was leaning behind Zhong Lishuo. At first glance, I want to hear what they have to say. Although the emperor's life is short, his thoughts are still very clear. He knew that someone was trying to harm him, but he couldn't say it. So I closed my eyes again, and I couldn't see out of mind.

Zhong Lishuo looked at the emperor's expression and understood a little. Looking at the emperor's face, he is already thin and sallow, I am afraid that there will be more than one luck, although this time he was fortunate to pull him back from the ghost gate, but who knows what will happen next time.

"Your Majesty is tired, it is better for the eldest prince to wait on the side first, and wait for Your Majesty to rest for a while before looking for you." The queen spoke in a hurry, Zhong Lishuo was stunned when she heard it, but she couldn't say anything, so she stood up and went in the direction where she was standing.

Turning around, Zhong Lishuo caught a glimpse of two people standing in the corner on the other side, one was the crown prince and the other was Shangguan Hong. I couldn't help but be shocked, and secretly screamed that it was not good.

In today's situation, the two of them are here, if it weren't for the emperor to hand over power, I'm afraid there would be nothing else to do. In this way, he is already at a disadvantage, if the two of them join forces against him at this time, I am afraid that he will have his life and not go back. I've got to think of a way to do it quickly.

When Zhong Lishuo was pondering, he heard the queen behind him speak:

"The concubines in the palaces, now that Your Majesty is well, do you still want to cry again?" As soon as the words fell, I heard a group of women's low voices:

"The concubine doesn't dare." Zhong Lishuo could fully imagine what a smug look the queen had on her face at this time.

"Since you don't dare, let's go back to the palace separately. Your Majesty's body is just right, but you can't stand your toss, from today on, no one is allowed to visit the emperor without my permission. Do you hear that? Under a loud shout, the concubines looked at each other, but they didn't dare to say half a word, only Nuo Nuo catered to:

"Yes."

"Then step aside." The queen said, and then she saw a group of women rising from the ground and saluting and leaving. Wen Shumei glanced at the past inadvertently, only to feel full of sadness.

After all the concubines retreated, the queen ordered someone to close the door of the palace, and then she put on a delicate posture, and her voice was lowered a lot:

"Someone else is here now. Please also ask Sister Jing and Lord Shangguan to come out. After speaking, Zhong Lishuo saw his mother Jing Guifei and Shangguan Hong coming out of the two directions of the dormitory, and finally stood in front of the emperor's sickbed. At this time, the crown prince Zhong Linuo slowly walked out of the corner, walked straight to Zhong Lishuo's side, and stood still.

After the three of them stood still, the queen put on an extremely aggrieved look, and actually wrapped her handkerchief around her hand, as if she was wiping her tears. Jing Guifei took a very appropriate step forward:

"Don't be sad for the queen mother, what if you hurt your body!" As he spoke, he put his hands on the queen's arms.

"My sister is very true, but Your Majesty is sick now. The country can't be without a king for a day, this palace is a deep palace woman, but it can't help much. Sister, tell me, should you let Your Majesty make a decision at this time? When Concubine Jing heard the queen's words, she understood what she meant. If you do what the queen wants now, you will be at a disadvantage. He took the queen's words.

The queen would never dare to think so. Your Majesty is in good health, and she will definitely recover after a while, and it will definitely be better than before, and my sister must not make a decision early and break Your Majesty's heart. ”
