Chapter 60: Autumn is Strong

I don't know when it has passed the frost season, and I didn't feel cold a few days ago, but now I feel more and more that the cold wind is cutting on people's skin like a blade.

Today's weather is not very clear, only to feel that there are large dark clouds gathered on the top of the imperial city, which is directly depressed in people's hearts, and in only a quarter of an hour, an autumn rain will fall down. Although the raindrops are not very large, the fine rain falls on the body, and then the wind blows, it is cold to the bones, and the chill begins to invade.

Zhong Lishuo was in a good mood, but walking in this thin rain, surrounded by this wet air, and looking at the increasingly gloomy sky, he always felt that his heart was not very steady, and he always felt that something was going to happen, so he accelerated his pace even more.

Originally, it was a somewhat sparse season, coupled with the strict security in the palace, the more and more I felt that there was no popularity, and it seemed to be depressed.

Zhong Lishuo's most annoying thing is the rainy day, which always makes him feel depressed, and even thinking will feel bothered, but at this time he must be in the spirit of twelve points, this step determines his future status and glory, if he takes a wrong step, he will lose all the time. Zhong Lishuo understood that he couldn't afford to lose, so he could only bite the bullet. But such a sad autumn day, most of the seriously ill people let go, he can't help but be a little worried, if the old emperor dies soon, then some things are now to be done in a hurry, but although the old emperor is seriously ill, he does not necessarily have no thinking, at this time, if he is in a hurry for quick success, he will be busy and make mistakes, and the consequences will be unimaginable.

The rain became heavier and heavier, and Zhong Lishuo was like this lingering rain, which made his heart more and more irritable. Seeing that he was about to arrive at the Feixia Palace, the emperor's bedroom, Zhong Lishuo's heart seemed to sink a little more, and when he walked in, he saw a bunch of people standing at the door of the Feixia Palace. Zhong Lishuo wondered what these people were here for.

When he got closer, he saw that it was the queen standing at the door of the palace with the people in her palace, Zhong Lishuo was shocked, could it be that the queen came to intercede with Shangguan Hong, if the emperor was soft-hearted, wouldn't the net he had worked so hard to weave be wasted. Zhong Lishuo felt more and more frightened, but he had already walked here and couldn't go back, and he wanted to know the ending of Shangguan Hong, or go forward.

Walking to the door of the Feixia Palace, Zhong Lishuo hurriedly walked in front of the queen to salute, but the queen didn't seem to see Zhong Lishuo, and her eyes were just staring at the inside of the dormitory. Zhong Lishuo didn't get the queen's permission, and he didn't dare to get up, and his heart became more and more flustered.

The stone paved on the ground at the entrance of the Feixia Hall is a green brick specially supplied by Suzhou, which is already very solid, and now it has absorbed the cold air of autumn, and the coolness invades Zhong Lishuo's knees, and he feels more and more sore, but he does not dare to get up. I don't know if it was three quarters of an hour or longer, Zhong Lishuo couldn't feel the sensation coming from his legs, he just felt cold and numb, and a female voice came from behind him:

"Why is Shuo'er kneeling here?" Zhong Lishuo turned around and saw that his mother, Concubine Jing Guifei, was hurrying over with the palace people, and Concubine Jing saw that Zhong Lishuo's steps were much more intensified.

Concubine Jing came closer, and first saluted the queen, but found that the queen didn't pay attention to her at all, so she sank down again and pleaded with the queen:

"If anything goes wrong with the queen, don't punish the child. You see, Shuo'er has been kneeling here for so long, her clothes, shoes and socks are already wet, and she is afraid that she will get sick if she kneels again. The queen mother, please be sympathetic to the concubine and feel sorry for the child, let Shuo'er get up. Jing Guifei thought that if she asked the queen like this, the queen would definitely let Zhong Lishuo get up, but she didn't want the queen to just slant at Jing Guifei and let out a cold snort from her nose:

"What kind of mother has what kind of child! How did the Shangguan family offend your mother and son to persecute the elder brother of this palace like this! Zhong Lishuo, tell me what the elder brother of this palace did? Do you want to kill it so quickly? Zhong Lishuo listened, his heart was shocked, but he still pretended to shake his head calmly:

"The son doesn't know what mistake he has made, please make it clear to the queen mother." When the queen heard Zhong Lishuo's words, she suddenly became angry, pointed at Concubine Jing's face and shouted:

"Slut! It must have been you who instigated it! When Concubine Jing heard this, she hurriedly knelt down, and suddenly burst into tears:

"Concubine Su Ri has always been respectful to the queen, and today I don't know what I did wrong to bear the queen's scolding." Concubine Jing's voice fell, and the father-in-law beside the emperor went out, looked at Concubine Jing and Zhong Lishuo who were kneeling on the ground, and then looked at the queen with an angry face, and said slowly:

"Your Majesty has sent a message and asked the queen to go back to the palace." Before the father-in-law finished speaking, the queen hurriedly interrupted:

"Please beg your majesty, this palace wants to see you. The elder brother of this palace must have been framed by a traitor. As he spoke, he also glanced at Concubine Jing with his eyes, "It is impossible for the elder brother of this palace to have a disobedient heart, please remember the merits of the elder brother back then, disturb the life of the elder brother, and punish the traitor to the law." As she spoke, tears flowed out of her eyes, and a face full of pink was a little terrible at this time.

The father-in-law in charge glanced at the queen lightly, and then looked at Zhong Lishuo and Concubine Jing who were kneeling on the side, and his voice softened:

"Your Majesty, please invite Concubine Jing and the eldest prince to come in and talk."

Jing Guifei and Zhong Lishuo got up at this time, Jing Guifei staggered when she got up, and her father-in-law hurriedly stepped forward to support her, while picking up Zhong Lishuo, whose legs were numb. When the two approached the door of the palace, they turned their heads to face the queen, and changed into a fierce color:

"The queen mother, please go back. Lord Shangguan has already confessed his guilt, and it is useless for Niangniang to argue now, it is better to go back to the palace and come back when His Majesty is angry. Lord Shangguan conspired against the nine clans according to the law, and now he has avoided Niangniang, and Niangniang still goes back to think about it. When the queen heard this, the resentment and anger in her heart surged into her heart, and she knelt down with a "plop", and tears flowed down from the corners of her eyes:

"Please be merciful, Your Majesty, my brother has indeed been framed. The elder brother has no intention of rebelling. If Your Majesty executes your brother, there will be discussions in the court, and it will be a loss of face for Your Majesty. I only ask for the life of the six brothers to share the worries of His Majesty. The queen said, dipped the handkerchief in her hand with tears from the corners of her eyes, and looked up again:

"If Your Majesty doesn't see the concubine today, the concubine will not be able to kneel for a long time." The father-in-law in charge looked at the queen in front of him, and he couldn't help but feel a difficulty in his heart, so he had to go in and tell the emperor all the words of the queen.
