The queen is charming, but powerful ministers lure her to seize power and usurp the throne

Chapter 34 Fighting for the wind and being jealous 5
"The hibiscus cake made today is delicious, but my mouth is dry after eating too much." Zhe Sang flipped through the book to deal with some harem affairs, keeping a stack of hibiscus cake and a cup of tea at hand.

It's July now, and the weather outside is getting hotter and hotter, but it's not bad inside the palace. There are ice cubes on the tables in every corner, and there are little palace maids fanning themselves. They're still wearing gauze skirts.

"The new imperial chef said that there is a new way of eating ice from the north, called Sushan. It is milky and sweet, and the ice is cool. Would you like to try it, my lady?" Lu Yi asked.

Zhe Sang saw the greed in her eyes and cooperated very much.

"This is the first time I have heard that you asked the imperial chef to make it for you to try."

Chongqing was coming in, but he didn't agree, "What kind of body is your wife? It's better to eat less cold food."

The light in Lu Yi's eyes suddenly dimmed.

"It's just a taste, it's okay." Zhe Sang said with relief.

Her health was indeed not in good shape. Following Fu Rong all the way, various injuries and illnesses were never treated in time, and over time, various problems, big and small, remained.

The most obvious one is the injury on his right leg.At that time, she and Fu Rong were being chased halfway. They rolled down the hillside and hit their right foot on a hard stone. Their bones were almost broken. They delayed their escape for a long time. When they escaped later, they only had enough money for medical treatment. A man's injury caused Zhe Sang to give this opportunity to Fu Rong. Fortunately, he met a scholar who gave him a bag of silver, and Zhe Sang's leg was healed.

It was only a few days ago that she learned that the scholar was rushing to the border to take up his post as Gu Heng.

Seeing Chongqing, he wanted to persuade again, "Just take two bites to taste the taste."

"Ok."

Seeing the heavy green pine mouth, Lu Yi ran to the imperial kitchen like a little magpie.

Zhe Sang shook his head, lowered his head and turned another page. The tip of his nose smelled a familiar scent of green pine. It was so faint that it was almost an illusion.

Zhe Sang took another gentle sniff, then turned to look at the back window. The shadows of the trees reflected the shadows, seeming to hide the figures.

Her heart skipped a beat, the golden crow hung high, why was he here?

"You all can go down," Zhe Sang said casually.

The little maids all obeyed and withdrew, but Chongqing still stayed.

"You go down too. I want to take a nap. Just watch and don't let anyone come in and disturb me."

Zhe Sang winked at Chongqing, and Chongqing's face changed. "The cicadas screaming outside are really annoying, so why not close the windows to make it cleaner?"

As she spoke, she closed all the other windows except the back window. When she went out, she closed the door and sent away the eunuchs and maids under the eaves. She sat guarding the door.

Almost as soon as the door was closed, a tall figure jumped out of the back window. Although Zhe Sang was prepared, he was still startled.

After all, this is the harem, which is heavily guarded. He used to only show up late at night. This is the first time he meets her during the day.

"What happened?" Zhe Sang asked. She felt that there must be something big going on for the Prime Minister to take such a big risk.

Gu Heng looked at the closed doors and windows and felt depressed.

"Is this how you can't see the light of day?" he asked.

Zhe Sang looked at him doubtfully, "If the Prime Minister can see the light, why don't you just go through the front door and come in openly?"

Gu Heng was silent and sat down opposite her. His eyes fell on the plate of hibiscus cake. He only took a small bite of the top piece of mulberry cake because she felt it was a little dry.

Sensing his gaze, Zhe Sang took away the top piece and pushed the plate towards him, "It tastes good, Prime Minister, would you like to try it?"

Gu Heng looked at the piece in her hand, reached out to pick up a piece, and ate it carefully. It tasted really good. As for how good it was, it was probably as sweet as a sentimental cake.

"How?" she asked.

"Do it." Gu Heng said, reaching for the cup of tea. Zhe Sang drank half of the remaining cold tea in one gulp.

Zhe Sang did not dare to look directly at his thin lips with water marks, and coughed twice, "The Prime Minister wants to drink tea, I will pour it for you."

"I like this cold cup." He stared at her.

Although there is skin-to-skin contact, some of it can be felt in the groggy night, but how can the hazy feeling be as direct and direct as the naked feeling in the clear sky and daylight?
Zhe Sang looked away and turned slightly sideways, trying to ignore his gaze.

The slender and white neck just fell into his eyes, extending to his ear beads, and Gu Heng's Adam's apple couldn't help but slide slightly.That hibiscus cake is really awesome.

"Excuse me, please pour me another cup." Gu Heng pushed the tea cup towards Zhe Sang.

Zhe Sang lowered her eyes and took it. The tea cup was a little hot to the touch with his body temperature. She couldn't help but look at him a few more times.

It was really hot outside, and there were thin beads of sweat on his forehead.

"Why did the Prime Minister come here at this hour? The sun is shining brightly outside."

Hearing her concern for him, Gu Heng pursed his lips that were about to rise.

"It was windy all the way and not hot," he said.

Zhe Sang: Look in the mirror and look at the sweat on your forehead and say it again.

"Here." Zhe Sang handed him the tea, and then handed him a handkerchief.

"Prime Minister, please wipe your sweat."

"Your Majesty." Gu Heng just took the tea and looked at her silently with a pair of watery peach blossom eyes.

In the face of beauty, even Zhe Sang was a little unsteady. She looked at him for a long time, but she didn't resist him. She stood at an arm's length and stretched her arms straight to rub him.

She was ashamed and couldn't do that kind of intimacy in broad daylight.

Gu Heng didn't care. He didn't like her distant look.

He had seen Zhe Sang stand on tiptoes to wipe Fu Rong's sweat, almost touching him.

Why did it become like this when he came to him?

Gu Heng stood up suddenly. He was taller than Fu Rong, so she tiptoed slightly to reach his shoulders.

"Your Majesty, stand closer." Gu Heng reminded kindly.

Zhe Sang's eyes were complicated, but he could only do as he was told.

It's summer, is it really not hot to be so close?

"Come closer." He stretched out his hand and pulled her waist, and her whole body completely fell into his arms, as if she belonged to him completely.

Gu Heng smiled, he liked this feeling very much.

Zhe Sang was startled by him, immediately threw the handkerchief away, pushed him away and took a few steps back.

"You wipe it yourself. If you don't wipe it, forget it."

Although Gu Heng was very disappointed, he also noticed her annoyance, so he could only wipe it away honestly.

"Do you still like it, Queen of the East and West?" Gu Heng sat down again and straightened his clothes.

Zhe Sang looked at it and remembered a poem: Mr. Xun Xun is extremely beautiful.The birth appearance is rich and the world is well established.

"What?" Zhe Sang was puzzled. He asked this question without making any sense.

Gu Heng said, "The things in that box."

He meant that he still liked the box of gifts he gave me last time.

"It turned out to be a gift from the Prime Minister," Zhe Sang pretended to suddenly realize.

"I am still the one left behind by Mr. Liang Shang, who came and went without a trace and never left a name." She deliberately joked.

"Since you are the prime minister, why didn't you wake me up?" Zhe Sang asked.

Gu Heng remembered something, and she seemed to see a hint of blush on his face.
