Then at this moment in the middle palace, the queen is holding a little boy and teasing, full of tenderness.
The few palace maids who were waiting next to them all didn't dare to slack off, and they followed.
"Great Prince, you can't go in......"
There was the sound of hurried footsteps outside, and the queen glanced out, but did not react.
There was still that faint smile on his face, gentle and charming, which was very different from the evil charm of the past.
"The eldest prince, the eldest prince, you can't go in again......"
Chu Jiyao strode in with an angry face, and waved back the internal officials who were about to stop him with one hand.
"Queen Mother, the slave can't stop it!"
It was only then that the queen reacted.
"Okay, let's go down, can you stop the eldest prince?"
Chu Jiyao's eyes were sharp, he glanced at all the people present, and the queen sent a message to let them all go down.
"The eldest prince is here to ask the master for sin?"
The queen hugged the child in her arms, then faced Chu Jiyao and asked lightly.
"Where did you come from?"
Chu Jiyao wanted to ask what he wanted, but he was blocked back, and suddenly saw the child in the queen's arms, and he was a little surprised.
The queen smiled, looked down at the sleeping little boy in her arms, and said with a smile: "You also think he is very cute, right?" ”
Chu Jiyao looked at the woman in front of him speechlessly, she was the mother of a country, but she often did things that did not conform to the rules.
"Where the hell did this kid come from?"
"Oh, by the way, your marriage time is not short, and you don't have a child yet, so it's better to give this to you to raise!"
As she spoke, the queen handed over the little boy and stuffed it into Chu Jiyao's arms.
Then he turned around and returned to the couch, sat down again, knocked on his arm, and said, "I haven't given birth in this palace, but I don't know, it's so tiring to hold a child." ”
When she said this, it was as if she was talking about a very ordinary thing, rather than a child's belonging and future.
"The Queen's Mother......"
Chu Jiyao is extremely angry, this woman is simply unreasonable.
He said such a thing.
"Okay, I won't joke with you, his origin, I can guess it if I want to come to the eldest prince."
Chu Jiyao's face was cloudy, and his eyes suddenly swept over, looking at the queen, revealing an incredible expression, "He, he is Zhaohua's son?" ”
The queen smiled lightly.
"You sent someone to kill the Zuo Xiang's family?"
"You are accusing this palace of being so righteous?"
The queen's phoenix eyes flowed, thousands of graces, but there was no trace of annoyance.
"Queen, that's an important minister of the court."
"Really?" The queen flicked the hem of her clothes, looked at Chu Jiyao calmly, and said, "This palace thought that you would be grateful for all this that this palace has done for you." ”
"The throne?" Chu Jiyao felt that this woman was simply crazy and hopeless.
"Oh, if you are rare, then the palace will be given to the third prince, he should be rare."
The queen's understatement made Chu Jiyao almost crazy.
This is the throne, the throne, the future heir of a country, how can she say it so lightly.
"Look, you men, all of them are extremely hypocritical, you obviously want to, but you don't say it, someone holds everything in front of you, but says it's not what you want, but let it be given to others, and you don't want to, you say, what do you want to do with this palace?"
The queen looked at him with a smile, waiting for his next words.
However, what could Chu Jiyao say, he could only look at all this sullenly.
"Okay, the matter has become a foregone conclusion, even if you betray this palace, or kill it, what's the point? Will they be able to come back to life? ”
yes, what can be done?
Although he is in charge of the country, he has no real power, and everything is decided by this woman.
What power does he have?
"Okay, I won't argue with you about right or wrong in this matter, what about my father? I want to see him. ”
The queen snorted lightly and said, "The gate of the Qianqing Palace is open for you at any time, doesn't the eldest prince know the way?" ”
"You, my father is not there at all, don't think I don't know......" Chu Jiyao took a few steps forward, although he didn't have any father-son affection for the current emperor, but he was also a courtier before, how could he allow this woman to harm the emperor.
"Oh? Now that you know, check it out for yourself! ”
The queen threw these words to him lightly, and then said: "The eldest prince has time to come to the palace to do useless work, it is better to think about how to explain the life and death of this child with the eldest prince of the Li family." ”
"Okay, send a few complaints, this palace will treat you as annoyed by government affairs, if you say more, it's over."
The queen waved her hand and motioned for him to go out.
Chu Jiyao stared at her expressionlessly for a long time, and said, "The Empress Dowager is going back to the palace." ”
The queen leaned on the couch, her eyes closed and she couldn't see joy, and it wasn't until Chu Jiyao left that she opened her eyes violently, and there was sadness in her eyes.
Then he shouted outwards as if nothing had happened: "Come on, this palace wants to bathe." ”
Anyang City is a city with a small population and does not often have outsiders coming.
All the people in the city were self-sufficient and lived a nourishing life.
Therefore, if one or two living people come, it will be easy to recognize.
And the people here are very friendly and friendly to outsiders.
When Zhaohua woke up, he found that it was a completely unfamiliar place.
Someone lifted the curtain and walked in, it was a woman.
"Madame is awake, lie down and don't move, your body is still empty!"
Zhaohua was a little puzzled, "Where am I?" ”
The woman had a bowl in her hand, steaming hot, but it didn't smell good.
"This is Anyang City, your husband is out, let me take care of you."
With that, she came to the bed and handed the bowl over, "Since you are awake, then drink this medicine yourself!" ”
The woman was smiling, very kind, in her forties, and wearing ordinary buns.
Zhaohua didn't react for a while, but he didn't stretch out the bowl, "You say, my husband?" ”
Without waiting for the woman to answer, Zhaohua suddenly remembered what had happened.
Could it be that Li Mingcheng is still alive?
No, it can't be, he's already dead, just dead in front of himself, how can he still be alive?
He was burned to death by that flame, and it was impossible for him to live.
Who, then, is this woman talking about?
Then, she thought of the scene before she died, and finally remembered who saved her.
"I'm getting out of here."
Zhaohua lifted the quilt and was about to get out of bed, but as soon as his feet landed, the whole person was unstable and rushed forward.
Fell directly to the ground.
The woman was startled by her action, and the medicine in her hand did not hold it steadily, and fell to the ground, shattering into porcelain pieces on the ground.
"Ah, ma'am, what are you doing here?"
"You let go of me, I'm going to get out of here, I don't need him to save ......"
Zhaohua felt dizzy, but she refused to let the woman help her up, and crawled forward.
There was light in the doorway, and her eyes were blurred with tears, as if she saw the man who doted on her and loved her.
He was smiling at her, as he does every day.
With endless tolerance, but she never took a good look.
He's gone like that, and there will never be a man in this world who will be so good to her.
will treat her as life, love her as already, spoil her excessively, and accompany her for a lifetime.
What about the good one?
It's only been two years.
But in the past two years, she has not cherished it properly.
If, if she could, she didn't like anyone anymore, she waited for him, for him to marry her.
"Li Mingcheng, you idiot......"
"Stupid, you wait for me......"
Zhaohua finally fainted from crying, and when Wei Chi heard the news, he hurried back.
Zhaohua had been helped to the bed at the moment, but the tears that were still overflowing in the coma slid down her fair cheeks, making people feel sad.
"I said, you young man, did you do something sorry for your wife, why is she sad like this?"
The woman blamed Wei Chi for being cold, handed him the freshly decocted medicine, and said, "You feed her, I'll go and change my clothes." ”
The medicinal soup was sprinkled all over the woman.
"Aunt Xie, I'm bothering you." Wei Chi Xinhan didn't ask her what had happened, because he had already guessed.
"Okay, needless to say politely, you take care of her, this child is very emotional, hey, young, this is hey......"
The woman was very enthusiastic and told Wei Chi Xinhan to take care of Zhaohua, so she left with confidence.
Yu Chi fed the medicine coldly, and sat on the side of the bed, staring at Zhaohua's face stupidly.
They haven't seen each other for more than a year, and the former Zhaohua is smart and lovely, talking like a lark, chirping, but now even in his sleep is so miserable.
Why did she become like this?
Is it that he pays too little attention to her?
Thinking that after the queen ordered him to leave overnight, he packed his package and prepared to leave, only to find out that something had happened to the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion.
At that time, the flames were soaring, but no one came to his aid, and when he arrived, he only saw Zhaohua at the moment of life and death.
He could only save her, but he didn't have time to take care of too many people and things.
However, for half a month, he has not dared to keep her awake, for fear that she will not be able to accept this fact.
I'm even more afraid, I'm afraid that I won't be able to face it.
"Zhaohua, what should I do to make you feel better?"
Wei Chi closed his eyes coldly, took a deep breath, and then got up to leave.
After he left, Zhaohua, who had already fainted from crying, her eyelashes trembled slightly, and she slowly opened her eyes, still bright, but more indifferent.
"Humph......"
She stared at the door for a long time before she sneered.
Then he closed his eyes and fell asleep again.
Licheng, since the death of the ninth prince, the ninth princess has disappeared, and Yun Shizi is only eight years old, so he can't do anything at all.
Li Mo was by her side, teaching day and night, so that she could familiarize herself with everything as soon as possible.
However, how can an eight-year-old child manage a large city?
What's more, to have this short period of less than a year, it is even more of a fool's dream.
"Shizi."
Chu Yun was dressed in a dark robe, carrying one hand on her back, holding her hair with jade, and when she heard someone calling her, when she looked back, she had already seen a little sharp.
Li Mo walked over with low eyes, sighing in his heart, although Chu Yun looked old on the surface, it was pretending, and more often, she was very happy.
Especially after the princess and Xiao Xin came to the palace, she became more and more like a child, a child who likes to have fun.
But now, in just one year, she has forced herself to be like this.
