"Why did Brother Ling Li go down to court so early today?"

"Although the Zhengyuan holiday has passed, the ministers are still in the state of the New Year's Festival, and there is nothing to do in the court." Ling Li explained, glanced at Shu Mei, and finally couldn't help asking, "Tell me what you did when you returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion yesterday?" ”

"There's nothing special, it's just to accompany Grandma to chatter and listen to Grandpa talk about the Nongsang Festival."

"All day, is that all there is to it?"

Shu Mei was a little weak, she lowered her eyes and looked at the copper incense burner next to the brocade couch, "Later, I got sick for some reason, Grandma asked a doctor to show me, took medicine, and I slept for most of the day......"

Ling Li threw away the incense towel in his hand, turned her face with his hand, and let her look at him, "I said, don't lie to me, don't lie to me." ”

"Brother Ling Li, I ......"

"I thought I'd forgive you if you would be willing to tell me the truth. But you still want to continue to deceive! ”

"I'm afraid, I'm afraid that you will be angry if you know."

"You think I'll be angry if you go to see Ling Zhao?!"

Shu Mei's eyes widened, "Then aren't you angry?" ”

"Angry!"

"Sure enough, I'm still angry." Shu Mei said annoyedly.

"Ah Mei, don't you understand, I'm angry that you didn't tell me directly when you went to see him, and lied to me that I was going to visit your grandma!" Ling Li cupped her face and said word for word as if teaching a child: "I said last time, husband and wife are one, and we must be honest with each other." ”

"Last time you said Shen ...... Lord Shen glanced at me more, you feel uncomfortable, I am afraid that you will be even more uncomfortable when I go to see Ling Zhao this time, so I didn't dare to tell you. ”

Ling Li couldn't laugh or cry. He took her into his arms and was speechless for a moment. She was much younger than himself, and many things between people, he both hoped she understood, and sometimes feared that she would understand.

"Brother Ling Li, you said that husband and wife should be honest with each other, so can you tell me about what happened that day in Anyuan Duwei's Mansion? Ling Zhao, let me ask you......"

Ling Li's body froze suddenly. It turned out that Ling Zhao did everything possible to trick her into going to Dali Temple, and what she said was about this matter!

At this moment, he only regretted that he had not started at the beginning. Long before ascending the throne, Shen Zhu persuaded him to kill Ling Zhao, but he hesitated to make a decision about the official's opinion, and finally dug a deep pit for himself!

"Brother Ling Li?"

Unable to hear Ling Li's response, Shu Mei raised his head from his arms. She saw his strange expression, and the suspicion in her heart that was suppressed by Liang's efforts broke through the prohibition in an instant and surged.

"What Ling Zhao said, is it true? You, you left me at that time, just to stimulate my grandpa?! ”

"Ah Mei, I ......" Ling Li looked at Shu Mei, but he was speechless.

Shu Mei hoped that at this moment, Brother Ling Li could tell himself that this was all Ling Zhao's trick to sow discord, just like Grandma, but he was speechless.

Shu Mei looked at him, and his eyes gradually filled with thick mist.

Through that layer of mist, Ling Li could no longer see herself in her eyes. He was a little flustered and hugged her tightly, "Ah Mei, I'm sorry." ”

Ling Li's apology finally made the tears in her eyes roll down like beads with broken threads.

"Amei, I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Ling Li grabbed the incense towel on the couch and hurriedly wiped her tears, "Listen to me, this is the most regrettable thing in my life, if time can go back to the past, I will definitely ......"

Shu Mei pushed him away, "You get out, I don't want to see you again!" Don't see you big liar again——! ”

"Ah Mei ......"

Shu Mei cried hoarsely: "You get out, you get out-"

Ling Li stepped forward and hugged her, but she kicked and hit him like crazy. He stood in front of her, as if he had lost consciousness, and let her vent as he pleased.

When Shu Mei had enough and was tired of crying, Ling Li thought that she could talk to her properly, but she stubbornly wanted to drive him away. Seeing that Ling Li refused to leave, she pushed him away and staggered out, "If you don't go, I'll go!" ”

Ling Li was helpless for a while, so she had to leave her dormitory. Shu Mei's state made him dare not go far, and only reviewed the slash in the main hall next door, always paying attention to her situation.

That night, Shu Mei had a high fever. His cheeks were flushed, his whole body was hot, sometimes he muttered "Brother Ling Li", sometimes he cried "Daddy and Auntie", and his mind was confused. Ling Li asked Guo Qian to come and see it, saying that the wind and cold had worsened, and he prescribed a lot of medicine.

Ling Li stayed beside the bed, took a mouthful of the liquid medicine and fed it to her, wiped her body with a cloth towel again and again, and never closed her eyes all night.

The palace maid wanted to change him to rest, but he refused. With the assistance of the imperial doctor and the palace people, he was still exhausted, and it was not difficult to imagine how difficult and long the more than 1,000 miles of escape road she had walked with him in an unconscious situation at that time......

At the end of the fifth watch, Man Fulai reminded Ling Li to go to the court, he stared at the sleeping Shu Mei in a daze, and said without raising his head: "Go and inform the two governments that the court has been canceled this morning." ”

Man Fu hesitated: "Will it be too late to notify at this time?" It's time for the ministers' sedan cars to arrive at the Jiuqing Palace......"

"Why so much nonsense?!" Ling Li turned his head.

Man Fu was so frightened that he hurriedly answered the errand and left Concubine Mu's bedroom.

Shu Mei was young in the end, took the medicine, slept for a whole day, and finally woke up in the evening.

"Ah Mei, are you awake?" As soon as he saw Shu Mei wake up, Ling Li held her hand and said.

Shu Mei looked at him stunned, his eyes were foggy, as if he didn't know him anymore.

"You've slept all day, you're hungry, what do you want to eat? I'll let the Imperial Dining Room do the ......."

Shu Mei suddenly withdrew his hand from his hand, and his face showed a painful look that almost collapsed, "You go away, I don't want to see you——! ”

"Ah Mei, I know it's wrong, but it's already happened, what should I do so that you can forgive me?"

"You go, I don't want to hear you!!" Shu Mei suddenly grabbed the quilt furnace in his hand and smashed it at Ling Li, Ling Li didn't have time to dodge, and the brass stove slammed into his forehead with a "bang".

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, are you alright?" Qiu Jin and the others hurriedly surrounded them.

"I'm fine, you all stand down." Ling Li covered his forehead and shouted.

"Your Majesty, you, you're bleeding——!" Huo Cheng exclaimed.

Only then did Ling Li realize that there was red blood flowing down his fingers.

Shu Mei looked at Ling Li, his lips moved, but he finally turned his head indifferently. At that moment, the decisive look in her eyes was similar to the past.

Ling Li looked at her, only to feel that the pain in his heart was far greater than the pain in his forehead.

Huo Cheng called the imperial doctor who was waiting next door, and the imperial doctor hurriedly ran in with the medicine box, and the palace maids waiting outside the hall also panicked.

"Go out, don't disturb Concubine Mu's rest." Ling Li covered his forehead and strode out of the dormitory.
