Chapter 61: Cold and Deep

The damp and cold breath in the Feixia Hall was indeed more urgent and profound than a few days ago, and even the white breath exhaled from the mouth of a person could be seen when he breathed. Under the luxury, I just feel that the dead air is getting heavier and heavier. Zhong Lishuo involuntarily shrank his body and supported Concubine Jing on his side, not feeling flustered in his heart.

Concubine Jing seemed to see Zhong Lishuo's thoughts, and covered Zhong Lishuo's hand with one hand and patted it gently to calm him down. Zhong Lishuo was not nervous in his heart, but listening to the crying of the queen outside the palace, he was always afraid that the emperor would be soft-hearted, so he didn't dare to think about it anymore when he •••••• it, but he was afraid that if he thought about it again, he would show his feet when he saw the emperor.

The queen still knelt outside the Feixia Palace, calling the emperor one after another, and her words were full of poisonous hatred for Concubine Jing and Zhong Lishuo, Zhong Lishuo listened and couldn't help clenching her palms.

In the hall, the emperor did not lie down as before, but reclined on the couch, his eyes were closed, but his brows were tightly frowned, and he was extremely bored to see what was happening. Zhong Lishuo was a little panicked in his heart, and saluted with Concubine Jing in his arms. The Emperor just waved his hand to get them up, but he didn't say anything else.

The silence in the dormitory was invisibly forming a kind of pressure, which was pressing Zhong Lishuo speechless. Outside the hall, the queen's cries made people's hearts even more confused. Not long after, the father-in-law in charge spoke outside the palace:

"Your Majesty, the queen mother does not want to go back to the palace. Now she knelt outside the temple, saying that she would wait until His Majesty saw her. As his voice fell, Zhong Lishuo noticed that the emperor's brows were furrowed even tighter, and he couldn't help but take a breath.

In the silence, Zhong Lishuo and Concubine Jing stood not far from the emperor. Although Zhong Lishuo was thinking about what to do, he didn't know what to do. Concubine Jing looked at the emperor, suddenly took two steps forward, took the teapot on the small case, made a cup of tea for the emperor, and waited for the emperor to drink. A pair of eyes looked at the emperor kindly, and there was a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, which made people look extremely comfortable. The old emperor looked up at Concubine Jing, stretched out his hand in front of Concubine Jing, Concubine Jing held it, and sat down beside the emperor:

"Your Majesty doesn't have to worry so much." The old emperor just glanced at Concubine Jing and didn't answer.

In such a situation, it made Zhong Lishuo restless. Just as he was hesitating, the voice of his father-in-law came from outside the house:

"Your Majesty, the queen mother has been kneeling for a long time, her clothes, shoes and socks are wet, and if she continues like this, I am afraid that she will get cold." When the old emperor heard this, he opened his eyes, but he didn't speak, and the anger in his open eyes couldn't be hidden, and the hearts of those who watched it were chilling. At this moment, the voice of the queen cursing Jing Guifei and Zhong Lishuo came from outside the hall, and the words were extremely vicious.

The old emperor listened, and the anger in his eyes became thicker, but Mrs. Jing beside her looked aggrieved.

"Jing'er, what do you think I should do with her?" The old emperor's low stiffness suddenly sounded, but it scared Zhong Lishuo. Zhong Lishuo originally thought that his mother would accuse the queen, but he didn't want Concubine Jing to just smile faintly and shake her head:

"The queen insults the concubines, and there is naturally a reason for the queen. The concubine didn't dare to say anything. ”

Zhong Lishuo naturally understood the intentions of his mother's concubine, most of the women in the harem understood a principle of retreating as advance, the more they hated anyone, the more they wanted to show their generosity when she was not powerful, and the emperor saw it in his eyes, and he had a better impression of those who had been wronged. At this time, Zhong Lishuo understood that he wanted to inflict the emperor's poisonous hatred against Shangguan Hong on the queen. So he hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down:

"It's the son's fault." The emperor looked at Zhong Lishuo, who suddenly knelt down, took a deep breath, and waved his hand:

"It has nothing to do with you." The old emperor paused for a moment and continued, "It's Lone, if Lone hadn't been arrogant to the queen before, she wouldn't be pampered and arrogant, and Shangguan Hong wouldn't dare to be so bold." Concubine Jing listened, and then took over the words:

"How can Your Majesty blame yourself so much, it is obviously the Shangguan family who does not understand the gratitude of the emperor. Wouldn't they not understand the truth that a concubine and a woman all understand. It's just that he covets the throne and wants to leave an extra rich road for his Shangguan family. As soon as Concubine Jing's words came out, Zhong Lishuo suddenly felt bad. Concubine Jing's words pointed directly at the Shangguan family, if the emperor was too careful, wouldn't it be bad. But now Zhong Lishuo didn't dare to persuade again, so he turned the conversation away:

"There is a matter in the son, I don't know whether to talk about it or not." The emperor listened to Zhong Lishuo's words and raised his head:

"Say." Zhong Lishuo's face looked a little trembling, and he said in a dilemma:

"Erchen has not been to the court in the past few days, but he has listened to a lot of discussions in the market." Zhong Lishuo paused for a moment and continued, "It is widely discussed that Shangguan Hong is a meritorious minister who helped his father and emperor, and now he has committed such a heinous crime, which is really caused by disobedience to his father. And I heard Zhong Lishuo's descendants release the words, if he is unable to protect his status in the court, he must send the top killer in the Phantom Pavilion••••••"

"Smack!" The emperor's fist had already smashed on the small case, Concubine Jing hurriedly got up and checked carefully, Zhong Lishuo's words were not finished after all, and he swallowed back. When he looked up, he saw that the emperor was already furious, his eyes were full of anger, and even the beard at the corner of his mouth trembled. Concubine Jing was a little distressed and persuaded on the side.

"Is it really Lonely's dead?" The old emperor squeezed this sentence out between his teeth. Zhong Lishuo hurriedly bowed his head.

"Your Majesty is angry. The dragon's body has just healed, so don't get angry. Saying that, Concubine Jing actually cried, crying and saying, "Your Majesty must take care of your body, the concubine and Shuo'er need Your Majesty's protection, if Your Majesty has any mistakes, the concubine and Shuo'er will also go." Zhong Lishuo listened, and hurriedly helped:

"Father's anger is calm, and I ask my father to take care of the dragon's body." The old Yellow Emperor breathed a sigh of relief, and took Concubine Jing's hand again and let her sit beside him, and only said lightly for a while:

"Before, Lone really wronged you." Concubine Jing wiped her tears and whispered:

"When the concubine was young, His Majesty was annoyed a lot, and now that he has His Majesty's favor, he must be grateful to His Majesty for not caring about the mistakes of his concubine." A smile appeared on the corner of the old emperor's mouth.

The voice of the queen outside the palace has not stopped. The old emperor's brows furrowed again, and he asked the father-in-law at the door:

"The queen is still outside the palace?" The father-in-law in charge hurriedly leaned out to look, and came back later:

"Back to Your Majesty, the queen mother is indeed still waiting outside the palace." The old emperor was silent for a while, his eyes narrowed slightly, as if he had made a great determination:

"The queen's words and deeds are incomprehensible, arrogant and arrogant, and her brother plots rebellion but does not think of repenting and wronging others. Let the guards send her back to her palace and let her reflect on her mistakes. If you can't think of it, don't come out. The old emperor's voice was faint. After hearing this, the father-in-law in charge went out.

Zhong Lishuo's heart was overjoyed, the queen was grounded.
