Chapter 52: Tide

The noon sun was the most poisonous, and Zhong Lishuo was lying on the rocking chair in his study basking in the sun, feeling a little chaotic in his heart. News came yesterday afternoon that the emperor had sent someone to raid Shangguan Hong's home, and Shangguan Hong himself had been sent close to prison. Zhong Lishuo originally wanted to take advantage of the chaos to see if he could get some other news, but he didn't know that all night, no officers and soldiers came out of Shangguanhong's house.

It was not until dawn in the morning, knowing that it was easy to be spotted during the day, so he returned. But always before leaving, he got some letters from Shangguan Hong's house from him and the Pavilion Master of the Phantom Pavilion, and his hanging heart finally settled down. also gradually understood that the war between him and the prince was imminent, and now that Shangguan Hong was eliminated, the prince's power was also greatly damaged, but there was always a little less entanglement, and the next target of the prince was him.

Zhong Lishuo thought that he couldn't sit still, in case this was a step slower than the prince, I was afraid that he would only be a ghost under the knife. When he returned to his palace from Shangguan Hong's mansion, he asked Chen Tong to invite his father-in-law Wentai to come to the mansion, although it was under the banner of a family banquet, but everyone understood that he wanted to discuss with his father-in-law Wentai how to deal with the prince.

But when he thought of Wen Tai coming to the house, and then thought about Wen Shumei in the house, what happened yesterday afternoon made him very unhappy. In fact, it's not that he doesn't understand Wen Shumei, the little woman's mind is just that, but it would be a bit too much to make a big fuss about this. Besides, he was originally a royal child, and it was common for him to have three wives and four concubines in the house, if he ascended the throne and became the emperor in the future, there would be so many women in the harem, if Wen Shumei was jealous of everyone, wouldn't his life be very sad. If this is the case, how can Wen Shumei be worthy of the status of the queen.

This is naturally for the future, but at the moment, Wen Shumei always grasps the first dust, which also makes Zhong Lishuo extremely disgusted. He himself couldn't be sure if Chu Chen was still alive, and how could he let others use her to stimulate him.

Zhong Lishuo returned to the house early in the morning and didn't plan to deal with Wen Shumei, but Wentai is Wen Shumei's father after all, and he naturally wants to be better to her daughter if he wants to rely on his troops, I thought that Wen Shumei could understand some things, but who knew that she would make herself sick for yesterday's incident, and finally fainted. If it hadn't been for her maid Red Lotus telling him what happened, I'm afraid he would still be in the dark.

If it was really according to Wen Shumei's thoughts, he would have wronged her!

Zhong Lishuo thought about it like this, and he felt even more angry. So as soon as the doctor came to the house, he saw Wen Shumei, and he didn't want to accompany him anymore. What he has to think about now is how to talk to Wentai about Shangguan Hong and the crown prince. It was when I had no clue that someone came to pass the word.

"Your Highness, the princess is awake. Do you want to check it out? Zhong Lishuo turned his head and saw that it was Red Lotus, and just wanted to shake his head and say no, Red Lotus seemed to see his thoughts, so he persuaded:

"Your Highness is better to go and see, Lord Wentai will arrive in the afternoon, if he sees it, he thinks that His Royal Highness treats the princess harshly. If that's the case, His Highness's face will naturally be bad. Zhong Lishuo listened, and suddenly felt that this girl was very sensible, so he got up:

"Then I'll take a look." Honglian listened, and hurriedly followed Zhong Lishuo in the direction of the dormitory.

As soon as Zhong Lishuo walked to the door of the dormitory, Honglian took two steps forward quickly, and shouted in a slightly louder voice when he entered the hall:

"Princess, Your Highness has come to see you."

Wen Shumei, who was lying on the bed, had just woken up, and when she opened her eyes, she didn't see Zhong Lishuo, she was already cold, but when she heard Honglian's voice, she naturally understood that Honglian had invited him. Thinking like this, Wen Shumei became sad again. It turned out that he had such no status in Zhong Lishuo's heart, even when he fainted, he didn't bother to look at himself, if there was no red lotus to invite him, I am afraid he would never have imagined that he would come.

Wen Shumei thought like this, she felt even more aggrieved, and the corners of her eyes gradually became wet. This is, just as Zhong Lishuo walked in the door, he saw her wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes. Zhong Lishuo was naturally unhappy when she saw it, but Wen Shumei made it seem like she had wronged her. I wanted to turn around and leave, but seeing that there were so many people in the hall, I couldn't get down on my face, so I took a step forward and asked:

"Why are you crying so well? But where is the discomfort? When Wen Shumei heard this, she felt more and more uncomfortable, obviously he made herself cry, but she felt that she was making trouble unreasonably. Thinking like this, my heart became more and more panicked, but I couldn't put Zhong Lishuo's words aside and didn't answer, so I said coldly:

"No, the concubine suffered from the wind and cold, and her eyes were very sore. His Royal Highness is delicate, and his concubine is sick. If His Highness stays for a long time, it will definitely be infected. Zhong Lishuo couldn't help but squint his eyes when he heard Wen Shumei's words. It's not that he can't hear Wen Shumei's voice, if he left it before, he would definitely leave immediately. But now that Wen Shumei's father is coming, even if he is annoyed with her, he has to pretend to cherish her. He forcibly endured his emotions and said with a smile:

"Mei'er is so concerned about her husband. Anyway, Mei'er is sick, and after a while, the father-in-law doesn't have to get up to greet her, just go alone for her husband. Mei'er is still resting in the dormitory. lest the wind chill come home again. ”

When the words fell, Wen Shumei only felt a chill in her heart. In his heart, he only said what he meant by this, and even his father didn't let her see him. Anyway, if you don't let you see it, you won't let you see it. He is nothing more than his pawn, and now that the pawn is useless, is it time to be an abandoned pawn? Wen Shu is flattering. Tears flowed again. She didn't want Zhong Lishuo to see her embarrassed appearance again, so she didn't look over her head and said lightly:

"His Royal Highness Xie is sympathetic to the concubines. His Royal Highness has important things to do, and he doesn't have to accompany his concubines here. Before the words fell, Wen Shumei began to choke. How could she ever accept such a grievance. He didn't even let her speak. If you don't say it, don't let it be said. She only felt that she was pathetic, why did she have to hold him in her heart like this, now she only felt that it was not worth it.

Zhong Lishuo listened to Wen Shumei's words and felt even more angry. This woman looks a little cute on weekdays, how can she be so jealous and willful now. I thought I would say a few more words to her, but now I don't think it's necessary. Seeing Wen Shumei sleeping face in, without even looking at him, he also felt annoyed. Flick your sleeves:

"That Mei'er, you are so good that you will raise it." After saying that, he left the dormitory.

Zhong Lishuo was born in the emperor's family, although his mother was not favored, he was not welcomed when he was young, and what he hated most in his heart was that others made him look good. How could he allow Wen Shumei to be wild in front of him.

Just when Zhong Lishuo was angry, Chen Tong hurriedly walked towards him, bowed his head and said:

"Your Highness, Wentai has arrived at the back door of the palace. Your Highness is going to greet you? Zhong Lishuo listened and squinted at Chen Tong:

"Let's go."
