Li Huang - Chapter 245
“Queen,” Shen Xi approached step by step, her eyes penetrating me like a sharp sword: “What else can you say?”
From beginning to end, I kept kneeling on the ground, and Shen Xiyao didn’t ask me to get up. The gold bricks were stiff, and the knees were numb, as if thousands of ants were biting, and the head was dizzy. Since then, all the seemingly important or unimportant statements have been linked together. It turns out that this is the point. It turns out that this is the most important part to bring me down. It turns out that this is the final move that puts me in despair. It turns out that a carefully woven net has long been in the dark. I don’t know when to put it down carefully. I finally waited for the opportunity to put it under the hood. It was unexpected, unsuccessful, and unbreakable.
He stood in front of me like a mountain about to fall to me, and the shadow alone was enough to cover me.
He bent down and raised my chin so that I could look directly at him. The gaze that looked at me was like looking at one of his most annoying objects, full of disgust and disdain.
“I feel like a fool.” His ironic voice was so harsh: “It was a waste of my trust in you, my infatuation with you, and even my reliance on the Ling family.” The chin was raised a little higher, and the neck hurt. I only felt the endless fear spreading. Maybe the next moment, he would cut my throat with a sharp blade. Or, this is my only way of relief. But Xuan’er, and Xuan’er, my spirit platform is clear and bright, I can’t leave him alone in this treacherous court battle, and leave him to my enemy.
“The emperor, since returning to the palace, the concubine has never done anything unfavorable to you, and never entangled with King Yu again.” I met his cold eyes without fear and said firmly.
“Yes, after returning to the palace.” Shen Xiyao saw his face, don’t go over and not look at me, the autumn wind outside the window, the shadows of the trees swaying like a swarm of demons.
“The world is sad, hard work to see the guest pavilion. The spring breeze knows not to be hard, and does not send the wicker green.” His tone is so sad: “It turns out that you have admired each other before so early.”
“Once the swordsman drove the tigers, several times the sea of fire and the flying dragons.” A sad smile slowly spread on his face, making people sad: “It turns out that he gave up his life not for his brothers and feet, but for the beauty.”
“The Tian family has no food and clothing, and you can enjoy yourself without seeing Hou Men.” He nodded gently, confirming his own thoughts: “It turns out that in your hearts, wealth and glory are not as good as returning to the fields.”
“Huang Sha wears golden armor for a hundred battles, and he will not return it if he doesn’t break it.” He smiled mockingly: “It turns out that it is false to wear crime and meritorious service, and it is true to regain honor and approach you.”
“The emperor?” I shook off his hand and said: “The concubine did not do what I was sorry for the emperor. I believe that Wang Yuzheng has no selfish intentions. Please don’t make the emperor generalize.”
“Oh?” Shen Xi pulled me up by the arm. The moment his foot touched the ground, it was like stepping on cotton, and then a sore itch spread from the heel, making it unstable to stand.
“I can’t even say it?” He gave a cold smile: “The queen really protects him.”
I know he misunderstood, the misunderstanding was deep. Yes, he knew that I was in love with Xihe, but he didn’t know that when I first entered the palace, before I met him, he had been happy with Xihe. This is something he cannot tolerate and accept. He is the emperor, and his things, especially his treasures, can be coveted by others.
There were three soft knocks, and Zhang Dehai walked in with a tray. His slightly old face was unbearable, and he hesitated. The jet-black tray was without flowers and ornaments, and there was a square object covered with a cyan veil. There was also a celadon bowl emitting white air, accompanied by a strange spicy fragrance into the hall.
“The emperor, it’s still hot, why don’t you let it dry?” Zhang Dehai held it down.
Shen Xiyao glanced at him diagonally, and was about to speak, only to hear a clear male voice outside the door: “The emperor, Chen Xihe, please see you!”
Shen Xiyao’s eyes narrowed into a slit, like a leopard in a dense forest waiting for its prey. He looked at the closed door for a long while and suddenly turned to me: “I didn’t expect that he came so fast!”
I was surprised, how could Xihe come?
He raised his head to Zhang Dehai, who hurriedly opened the door. As soon as Xihe entered the hall, he saw me kneeling on the ground, and the look of pity was swept away.
“Emperor, this?” He pointed at me, suspiciously.
Shen Xiyao smiled faintly: “I heard a very funny joke today, would you like to listen to Wang Yu?”
Xihe quietly cast a concerned look at me, clasped his fist and said, “The minister would like to hear the details.”
Sitting on the dragon chair, Shen Xiyao leisurely sipped a sip of tea and leisurely said: “Today’s doctor congratulates me, saying that the queen is two months pregnant, what do you think?”
Xihe looked up at Shen Xiyao with a sneer, “How is this possible?”
“Yeah, I also think how is this possible?” His gaze swept across my two faces like a poisonous snake: “It seems you don’t know why.”
Xihe looked at him directly: “Is the doctor’s diagnosis wrong?”
Shen Xiyao lightly said, “I’m not yet the one-sided words of the monarch who only listens to one person.”
Xihe was silent for a moment and said: “I am afraid that there is a misunderstanding. The minister is willing to invite a famous doctor from outside the palace to diagnose the empress again.”
Shen Xiyao gently blew a little tea in the tea cup, very calm and comfortable, but I felt that the half-covered eyes of the cup were throwing poisonous arrows at us.
“I would occasionally think during the battle, if there is a case, I am afraid that the second son of the prince ascends the throne and you become the regent. Your courtiers support you as the emperor, and the queen may not object.”
Xihe knelt down hurriedly: “The emperor has a clear lesson, and the minister has no idea about the throne!”
“In other words, are you loyal to me?” Shen Xiyao asked very strangely.
Xihe firmly said: “The loyalty of the minister is a lesson from the sun and the moon!”
“You will never violate my will?” Shen Xiyao asked again.
After a moment of hesitation, Xihe resolutely said: “The officials are only obedient to the emperor’s orders.”
Shen Xiyao laughed: “Okay, very good, really good!”
As he opened the cyan veil, my eyes fell on the object and a cold sweat broke out. Looking at Xi He again, his face must change a little.
Shen Xiyao stretched out his hand to me: “The key.”
I shook my head.
He didn’t ask any more, but slammed the wooden box down to the ground, making a loud, heart-pounding noise.
Aspen wood spikes inlaid with a five-petal flower box broken into several pieces, one white silk paw is rag-like on one side, a delicate jade pendant is split in half, one piece of bone is dim, two hairpins trembled, and a pair of spike earrings rolled Open, there is a string of four strands, no matter how bright the diamond light is, it will not disperse the darkness of the hall.
“Queen, where’s the jade magnolia hairpin your mother gave you?” Shen Xiyao walked over and looked at me: “Why isn’t it inside?”
“The concubine has a lot of jewellery, which is not placed here.” I forcefully calmed down.
“Oh?” He smiled: “Aren’t all your most precious things here? Or??” He suddenly approached Xi He and took something out of his arms: “Still here.”
Xi He was also startled by his sudden behavior, and couldn’t make any moves, so he could only watch Shen Xiyao take out the hairpin.
“I remember that you wore it before the expedition, so why did you run to Wang Yu?” He asked.
I closed my eyes, I couldn’t argue.
Shen Xiyao sneered: “I have nothing to say?” He said, walking to the front of the imperial case and “swiping” the memorial chapter. “These secret reports are about my absence in the time palace. I don’t want to read it, Wang Yu. , You read it to me.”
Xi He stood there, calm and determined like a pine standing in the wind.
At this moment, a scattered report showed a blue corner, Shen Xi stopped looking at it, and Zhang Dehai hurriedly picked it up. He looked at it carefully, and his face grew gloomy.
I looked at the familiar beaded and unfamiliar embroidery on the aqua veil, and my heart jumped suddenly.
Shen Xiyao threw the veil and the report on Xihe, “Read!” His voice was beyond doubt.
Xihe opened the report, and his voice did not fluctuate: “On the sixth day of August, King Yu lives in Haiyan Hall. The Queen’s Night Party.”
“On the seventh day of August, King Yu and the Queen will be at Yanboting and have a close conversation about Kung Fu.”
“On the tenth day of August, Huiju went out of the palace and passed letters and items in Qichangju, including one letter, a jasper hairpin, and a blue silk paw.”
“On September 11th, King Yu and the Queen will be with Kunning Palace and spend two hours alone in the apse. When King Yu comes out, the crown will be upside down.”
“After I bid farewell to the emperor, I have a lot of love, and I do not want to resign again in this life. Remember the former alliance, and perform the old covenant, and both reward new words.
He finished reading Shen Xiyao deeply: “The emperor Mingjian, the minister went to Kunning Palace to discuss with the queen to welcome the emperor, and nothing else. And this Pa Zichen has never seen it.”
“What about the hairpin?” Shen Xiyao asked.
Xihe couldn’t answer.
My heart fell lower and lower. Concubine Hui’s good means, the truth is true or false, even I can’t justify, how can Shen Xiyao believe me unconditionally.
“The sixth day of August, to today, it will be more than two months.” Shen Xiyao handed the bowl to Xi He: “If you want to prove your innocence, you will feed her and drink it yourself.”
Xihe and I both looked at Shen Xiyao in shock, his eyes locked on both of me, full of hatred.
“Dare to ask the emperor, is this?” Xihe’s voice trembled slightly.
“Abortion drug.” Shen Xiyao answered calmly. “As long as you feed her and drink, I will believe that you two have nothing to do with each other, and you have written off in the past. You are still my good brother, and she is still my good queen, and will not change anything.”
Xihe and I looked at each other, and he reacted first: “The minister can’t!”
I also shrank to the side, guarding my stomach tightly, shaking my head: “The emperor, can’t you??”
Shen Xiyao pulled out the imperial sword on the wall and put it on Xihe’s neck, looking at Xihe and said: “If you don’t feed her, don’t blame me for being strong. You two have committed any crime, and Dali Temple has its own judgment.”
Then he looked at me: “Or if you drank yourself and went to Dali Temple, I won’t kill him or cure him!” He said with a little force, a stream of blood ran down Xihe’s neck.
I watched the imperial sword made of profound iron stained with blood and gleamed, and then looked at the dark soup medicine, I instinctively took a step back gently, tears couldn’t stop streaming down.
“Feed her to drink, it is your best choice.” Shen Xiyao’s voice suddenly became soft, full of temptation.
He put the medicine bowl between us, smiling like a ghost: “You choose.”
“The concubine drinks it by herself, but I beg the emperor to speak up, and not to offend others.” My heart was ashamed, and I wanted to drink it up.
The bowl was snatched one step ahead, and then thrown away: “No!” Xi He shouted at me. He said and looked at Shen Xiyao: “Since Dali Temple has its own arbitration, then the minister is willing to go to Dali Temple and ask the emperor to leave the fetus in the queen’s womb, and then ask other doctors to diagnose it to see if it is only two months old.
Shen Xiyao shook his head: “Stubbornness!”
His sword turned and landed on my neck: “You guys love each other very much.” He smiled: “Then I changed my mind.” He gestured to Zhang Dehai, and the other party reluctantly fetched another bowl of medicine.
“Either you feed her or I kill her.”
Xihe looked at Shen Xiyao in amazement, with puzzlement and grief in his eyes.
“The emperor, can’t you be like this?” He clenched his hands into fists, his face pale.
“Why can’t I?” Before Shen Xiyao’s words fell, I only felt cold and painful in my neck, and the warm liquid slowly dripped.
Xi He almost rushed forward, but was stopped by Zhang Dehai.
“Hello?” Shen Xiyao stared at Xi He with a sullen voice.
Xihe closed his eyes in pain, and Zhang Dehai held the medicine in front of him: “Master, you have to take this medicine anyway. It’s better to minimize the harm.”
