Chapter 22: The Verge (Part II)

As soon as Zhong Lishuo and Wen Shumei's carriage entered the city, the two did not dare to delay for a moment, and immediately rushed to the direction of the palace.

When they arrived at the gate of the palace, Zhong Lishuo and Wen Shumei hurriedly jumped out of the carriage and went to the emperor's bedroom.

At this time, it was almost evening, and the night was slowly enveloping this magnificent palace like a curtain. Today's palace is surprisingly quiet, but it is not as peaceful as before, and there is always a feeling that there will be some danger hidden in a corner, waiting to make waves at the moment when people are not expecting. Overwhelm everyone.

On the official road, Zhong Lishuo strode ahead, staring at the brightly lit emperor's bedroom in the distance, frowning, and couldn't help but speed up his pace. Wen Shumei had never entered the palace at this moment, looking at this magnificent building that had fallen into darkness, as if she had seen a large group of sleeping monsters, looking at herself at this time. She felt scared. couldn't help but tug on Zhong Lishuo's clothes, and Nuno followed him.

In the past, this time should have been a time for singing and dancing in the palace, but today, there is always a sense of sporadic loneliness unintentionally, and it infiltrates people's hearts silently, causing a cold war, and this loneliness is looking at it arrogantly from a distance, looking arrogant.

Outside the Feixia Hall of the Emperor's Bedroom, you can hear the intermittent crying in the hall from a distance, Wen Shumei was startled by this voice, and couldn't help but clench Zhong Lishuo's sleeves:

"Your Highness, what's the matter?" Zhong Lishuo didn't look back, and the pace under his feet didn't change at all, he said lightly:

"The concubines in the palace are crying, it's too normal. What else do these women do besides crying! There was a strong anger between the words, although it was not expressed, but Wen Shumei could still hear the meaning.

It turns out that in Zhong Lishuo's eyes, women won't do anything else except cry.

She didn't feel a little sad, could it be that he saw himself like this? But no matter how Zhong Lishuo sees himself, he is a little woman, and crying is also a common thing. He had never said he was bored before, so did he hate his wayward tears before? That being the case, what woman in the world doesn't cry!

Wen Shumei thought indignantly. Even if there is such a woman, she will not let Zhong Lishuo touch it! But after thinking about it, what if he really met him?

After thinking about it, I felt more and more wronged, and tears were about to flow out.

Wen Shumei reminded herself that she couldn't cry, so she snorted, and forced the tears that were about to flow out to the bottom of her eyes, and when she looked up again, she had already arrived at the door of Feixia Palace.

After the guards at the door went in to report, Concubine Jing came out with the guards. When Zhong Lishuo saw his mother come out, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart. Without waiting for Concubine Jing to walk up to her, she knelt down on one knee first, and clenched her fists above her head with both hands. He really didn't want to see his mother's cloud-like face. Manjushri beside her saw Zhong Lishuo kneeling down and hurriedly knelt down:

"Concubines see concubines." As soon as the words came out, he inadvertently swept to Concubine Jing's face, which was already about to be pulled to her chest, and then she understood why Zhong Lishuo's reaction was so big. So he quickly lowered his head.

"The sons see the queen mother. The son was late, and asked the queen mother to sin for ginger. When Concubine Jing walked in front of him, Zhong Lishuo didn't dare to raise his head, lowered his eyes and said the following words. Who knew that in exchange for Jing Guifei's cold snort from her nose:

"Long overdue? What a long time coming! You never thought how much had happened in the two days you've been away! Say, what have you been doing these two days? The anger between Concubine Jing's words was so obvious, but Zhong Lishuo really had no way to say what he was going to do, he raised his head and looked at his mother, his brows twisted into the word "Chuan":

"Mother concubine•••••• son, •••••••" Zhong Lishuo was like an ant on a hot pot at this time, and he didn't know what to do. His embarrassed expression, in the eyes of Concubine Jing, she wouldn't not know what Zhong Lishuo meant. Almost instantly, Concubine Jing's face changed:

"How old a person is, I don't even know how to be more restrained. A few days ago, I just saw that my body was good, so I ran to play with Shu'er, and now I caught the wind and cold again, I see how embarrassed you are to say! There was a strange tone in his tone, and after speaking, he suddenly turned to Wen Shumei:

"Shu'er, you too, are such a big person, I don't know how to persuade Shuo'er, he is also your husband, you can't let him mess around!" Wen Shumei couldn't help but be taken aback when she was suddenly said this, and was just about to raise her head to argue with Concubine Jing, when she saw the profound meaning in Concubine Jing's eyes.

It turned out that Concubine Jing was acting with Zhong Lishuo. Wen Shumei then understood, so she lowered her head and said:

"Yes, the concubine knows. Don't dare next time. As soon as the words fell, Concubine Jing said:

"Get up. Go and see your father, I haven't seen you in a while. After speaking, Zhong Lishuo and Manjushri got up from the ground, Zhong Lishuo stepped forward to hold Jing Guifei's arm, and whispered to Jing Guifei:

"How's my father?" Concubine Jing looked ahead with her eyes and returned quietly:

"I was suddenly seriously ill the night before yesterday, but yesterday the doctors looked at it for a day and it was considered to have stabilized. It's okay to say it's okay, but it's always uneasy. How about you go over there to find out? ”

"Now it seems that there is another wave of people who have been swept in. Whether they are friends or foes is unknown, but they seem to know something about Shangguan Hong, a third-party force, and Erchen still needs to contact him again. Concubine Jing squinted and glanced at Zhong Lishuo:

"You'd better hurry up, knowing that now the prince is already eyeing the enemy. We don't have much time, so we can't let them get ahead of the curve. Zhong Lishuo listened and nodded, and as soon as he raised his eyes, he was already about to reach the inner hall, and Concubine Jing brushed down Zhong Lishuo's arm that she put on her own arm:

"The queen is inside, you can go and have a look." After saying that, he went in through the side door. Wen Shumei, who had just followed behind Zhong Lishuo and Concubine Jing, followed up. Zhong Lishuo gave her a look, and the two of them went to the inner hall together. As soon as he walked to the door, before he could take a step, he heard the queen's sharp reprimand:

"Cry what cry! Your Majesty is still here! If you cry again, you will drag me out and beat me to death! ”

As soon as the words fell, the inner sanctum, which had been crying just now, suddenly fell silent. Zhong Lishuo was stunned, and then he saw that the floor of the inner hall was kneeling with his father's concubines, holding silk handkerchiefs in their hands, and constantly wiping their tears. Looking at those concubines carefully, most of them are flower-like girls, all of them have beautiful faces, and the pitiful look between the corners of their eyes and eyebrows when they cry makes people feel even more distressed.

But these are so terrifying in Wen Shumei's eyes. Those girls who were not much different from themselves turned out to be the emperor's concubines. It is too cruel for this flower-like age to be drowned in this bottomless palace, and to suffer all kinds of suffering. She felt scared, and subconsciously used her hand to pull Zhong Lishuo's cuffs, but he forced them away. If you are sure of God, I heard Zhong Lishuo's voice:

"The sons and daughters see the father and the queen mother. The son-in-law was too late, and asked his father and queen mother to surrender their guilt. ”
