After rebirth, dribbling and leaving

At this time, Emperor Li Zong did not say anything and continued to wear the memorial. When he looked up again, half an hour had passed! "

Eunuch Ming handed over the brewed and cooled tea again, then said with a smile:

"Your Majesty, Commander Zheng has been waiting outside for half an hour!"

Emperor Li Zong coughed lightly, put down the memorial in his hand, and a hint of dissatisfaction flashed in his eyes.

He looked at Eunuch Ming and said coldly, "Let him in."

After a moment, Zheng Zejiu walked into the hall and knelt down to salute.

"I see your Majesty."

Emperor Li Zong raised his hand slightly, motioning him to stand up.

"What brings you here, my dear?"

Zheng Zejiu stood up and bowed:

"Your Majesty, I have something important to report. Recently, some suspicious signs have been found in the capital, which may be related to the unrest in the border areas."

Emperor Li Zong frowned:

"I have already known about this matter. You must investigate it as soon as possible without any delay."

"As ordered."

Zheng Zejiu hesitated for a moment and said:

"Your Majesty, there is one more thing...about the Queen."

Emperor Li Zong's eyes turned cold, "What happened to the queen?"

"There have been some recent moves against Your Majesty. I just went to Kunning Palace to inquire about some details..."

Zheng Zejiu lowered his head and said.

Emperor Li Zong was silent for a moment, then stood up and said, "I understand. I will find time to visit the queen. As for what you want to do, just go ahead and do it."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Zheng Zejiu felt relieved.

He knew that Emperor Li Zong had a grudge against the Queen, but he had to protect the Queen's safety.

And somewhere in the palace, a pair of eyes were silently watching all this...

"But remember, you must protect your aunt."

Emperor Li Zong spoke in a cold tone, but a trace of irritation welled up in his heart.

He turned and walked to the window, staring into the distance.

Zheng Zejiu's heart sank, he understood that the emperor had very complicated feelings towards the queen.

He retreated respectfully and left the imperial study.

Emperor Li Zong stood quietly in front of the window, his thoughts surging like the tide.

He was well aware of the cruelty of court struggles, but he could not give up his feelings for the queen.

Now, unrest is about to break out on the border again, and he must go all out to protect this land.

As for the queen, he decided to visit her in person to find out what kind of conspiracy was behind the actions against her.

"Xiao Mingzi, go to Kunning Palace!"

Emperor Li Zong arrived at Kunning Palace, and the Empress hurried to greet him. The two sat opposite each other, and Emperor Li Zong asked about the recent situation.

As the mistress of a palace, Zheng Yuqing had long suppressed the grievances she had suffered in her heart, and digested them silently. After so many years, her heart had become numb!

Emperor Li Zong now comes to Kunning Palace only on the first and fifteenth day of every month and major festivals. At other times, he is rarely so friendly with the Empress!

Seeing that my wife’s skin has changed from a beautiful young girl to a girl who is no longer as smooth as it used to be, and her eyes no longer have that tenderness, only a perfect smile!

Her heart ached. Ever since the prince disappeared, the queen had slowly begun to show signs of withering from a blooming flower!

He felt compassion, but his expression remained calm.

"I heard from Zejiu that some things are related to you. I will send someone to investigate it. You don't have to worry." Emperor Li Zong comforted.

As soon as he finished speaking, a palace maid came running over and knelt down to report:

"Your Majesty, this is bad! Concubine Hui has fainted in the palace!"

Emperor Li Zong's face changed, and he immediately stood up and left. The queen looked at his back, feeling disappointed and helpless.

"After all, she is more important..." the queen murmured to herself.

Madam Xiao couldn't bear it, so she stepped forward to comfort him:

"Madam, it's been so many years, you..."

The Queen waved her hand, stopping her from continuing:

"Madam, there's no need to say more. I've already let it go, but the scar hasn't completely healed yet!"

Gyeongin Palace

Emperor Li Zong hurried to Jingren Palace, where the imperial doctors were nervously treating Concubine Hui, who lay weakly on the bed, looking pale.

"Your Majesty... my chest hurts so much..." Concubine Hui looked at Emperor Li Zong with tears in her eyes.

Emperor Li Zong frowned and asked with concern:

"What's going on? Imperial Physician, what happened to Concubine Hui?"

The imperial doctors kowtowed one after another and said, "Your Majesty, Concubine Hui's qi and blood are deficient, and she was overly worried, which led to her fainting."

Emperor Li Zong glanced at everyone and said, "Take good care of Concubine Hui. If there is any mistake, I will only hold you responsible."

The maid at the side took the opportunity to say, "Your Majesty, the Queen has been worried about the Third Prince these days, so..."

Emperor Li Zong's eyes were slightly cold, "I will handle this matter myself. Concubine Hui needs to rest, you all should leave."

After everyone left, Emperor Li Zong sat by the bed and held Concubine Hui's hand:

"Rest well. I will let Prince Rui return to the capital as soon as possible. If you have nothing to do, let Qiang'er accompany you more. If that doesn't work, let the princess bring the children to the palace to see you more often!"

Concubine Hui was indeed dazzlingly beautiful. The way she held her heart would make any man feel a desire to protect her!

The shy look on her face made Emperor Li Zong unable to bear to say more!

"…Your Majesty, I know that I am a bit willful, but I can't control myself. Sometimes I can't sleep well even if I light a calming incense!"

Emperor Li Zong couldn't help but sigh, and then said:

"Forget it. I said I'd give you a surprise. The princess will be back tomorrow. When she sees you, you don't have to be so sick anymore!"

Wei Rouyi was shocked and realized how reckless she was today. If it weren't for the emperor's favor towards her, she would have been punished for this little trick long ago!

She bit her lip and acted like she wanted to act like a spoiled child today. She looked at Emperor Li Zong with sparkling peach blossom eyes and was about to get off the bed to thank him, saying:

"I thank the emperor. I feel better now!"

Emperor Li Zong personally helped the man up and comforted him for a few more times before leaving!

After everyone had gone far away, Wei Rouyi waved everyone away, leaving only Mi Lanxi by her side!

Lan Lan picked up the double-sided peony-embroidered palace fan and fanned herself gently, saying:

"A-Mi, tell me, what on earth is going on with these Zheng aunt and nephew that they sent everyone around them away?"

Lady Mi thought for a moment, but still had no idea, so she smiled and said:

"What is your majesty afraid of now? The queen is just an empty title, and Princess Ziyang has a hot temper. There is nothing to be afraid of!

You just wait for His Highness to come back this time and fight for some merit. I believe the Emperor will definitely arrange a real job for you. In the future, that position will be as easy as taking something out of a bag!"

Wei Rouyi felt comfortable after hearing this and didn't think about it anymore!

At this moment, Su Qingling went to the main courtyard to greet the emperor, and then returned to Ruixue Garden on the pretext that he was severely punished!

Naturally, half of the basket of fruit was left behind!

Dongmei muttered: "Oh, what a pity!"

Qiuxiang and Dongmei had known each other for a long time, so she knew what she was talking about. She pulled her pigtail and laughed:

"Isn't what you said a fool? If you don't give me anything, and word gets out, will you still have a good reputation as a young lady?"

Dongmei stuck out her tongue and said, "We are all family, so I dare to say this!"
