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

Chapter 39 Intrigue 3
Yong'an Palace was completely plunged into darkness. Zhe Sang and Chong Qing gently placed the emperor on the couch.

He half-opened his eyes, his eyes were blurred, and he was whimpering and exhaling harder.

The medicinal properties were also extremely strong. He seemed to be trapped in his own world, without any reaction or perception to the outside world.

"Your Majesty?" Zhe Sang called out a few words tentatively. When there was no answer, she stretched out her hand and waved it in front of his eyes, but there was no response.

When the time came, she nodded to Chongqing.

Chongqing opened the back window and placed a chair by the window.

"There's someone guarding the door. Your Majesty, it's better to go to the side hall to rest for the night. I'll just keep you here."

Chongqing had already taken care of the side hall, but she still felt uneasy about the queen staying here. It would be bad if the emperor woke up in the middle of the night and something went wrong.

Zhe Sang thought for a while, then lifted the jug and poured it directly into the emperor's mouth. When the emperor choked and was about to cough, she covered him back with her hands.

"In this case, he won't be able to wake up after drinking this pot. You can go out too, so as not to arouse suspicion. I will ring the bell for water later."

Zhe Sang said and pushed her to the door, and Chongqing had no choice but to leave, leaving the two of them alone in the room.

Zhe Sang put down the bed curtain, completely blocking the emperor, and lay down on the imperial concubine's couch beside him.

She estimated that it was almost time, so she climbed up to ring the bell. As soon as her hand touched the rope, a warm body pressed against her. Her hand shook and she almost screamed, but the person behind her covered her mouth.

"Miss."

It's Gu Heng.

Her husband was lying on the bed, but she was held in the arms of another man, right in front of the bed.

Zhe Sang's heart was beating crazily, and she broke away from his arms and took him farther away.

"Your Majesty, why are you here?" She lowered her voice, for fear of something unexpected happening.

"I couldn't hear what the empress said, it was too quiet." There was a smile in his eyes.

Zhe Sang didn't have the heart to guess whether he really couldn't hear or pretended not to hear. He leaned into his ear in a hurry and said, "The Holy Emperor is on the bed. If the Prime Minister doesn't leave, I'm afraid you and I will suffer."

"I know." He looked at her anxious look, reached out to cover her eyes, lowered his head and kissed her.

Zhe Sang was shocked and frightened. The excitement of taboo transgression was intertwined with the pleasure of revenge against the emperor.

After a moment, his voice became hoarse and he said, "Your Majesty, it's not like I'm ignorant of people's affairs. Why are you so stupid now?"

His head slid down, and his hot breath hit her neck, arousing layers of goosebumps.

"To consummate the marriage, of course it must look like it is consummated——"

There seemed to be moonlight and breeze outside the window. Zhe Sang's eyes gradually became distracted, and there was a cool touch in his hands.

Gu Heng's belt is embedded with jade.

The emperor, who was in a daze, could not hear the other two hot and intense breaths in the room. He was alone in the world.

------------

The morning light is dim.

"Your Majesty—" Eunuch Xu stood at the door and called softly. Behind him stood Hong'er from Yangxin Pavilion.

The emperor reluctantly opened his eyes, and what he saw was that the queen was sleeping soundly with her back to him. She was wearing white pajamas, with loose black hair and a few bruises on the white back of her neck.

He sat up and rubbed his head.

"Go ahead."

Eunuch Xu's voice came again, this time he did not lower his voice.

"Mrs. An has a fetal force." Zhe Sang also woke up and asked in confusion, "What happened?"

Her voice was hoarse.

The emperor's eyes dimmed, but he still got out of bed.

"Come in." He shouted to the outside. Eunuch Xu listened and waved his hand to let the maids who were waiting for dressing and washing behind him to go in.

"You are also exhausted. Just rest. I will go to the Yangxin Hall to have a look." The emperor said to Sang.

When Zhe Sang heard this, he didn't know what he thought of. He blushed and buried his head in the quilt.

When the emperor saw it, he pursed his lips and smiled. For a moment, he felt that Su Zhesang was not a bad queen.

It's a pity that the rubble and jade are in front of us, but the tiles and stones are difficult to hold.

The emperor rushed to Yangxin Pavilion early in the morning.

I came so late and left so early, probably because of Mrs. An's few words.

What kind of husband is this kind of husband?Of course, she is no longer a qualified wife, otherwise how could last night be so ridiculous.

"Empress—" Lu Yi walked in with a smile.After being ill, her complexion was not as rosy as before.

She was very happy that the Holy Emperor stayed at Yong'an Palace again and called for water several times in the middle of the night.

"What's the fuss about? Let the queen rest for a while." Chongqing said.

Lu Yi heard that it was extremely draining on a woman's physical strength, and the concubines of that palace would often be late to pay their respects the next day, depending on which palace the emperor stayed at.

She listened to Chongqing's words and went out quietly. She leaned into Chongqing's ear at the door and said, "Last time I went to the Taiyuan Hospital to get medicine, and I saw a prescription for medicinal diet, which I heard is good for children. Look at me, my mother-in-law. Go to the imperial dining room."

After saying that, she slipped away. Chongqing looked at her back, dumbfounded. She couldn't stop her and say, nothing happened between the empress and the emperor, right?

"Eunuch Guo, I'll leave this matter to you. I'll ask someone to pick it up later." Lu Yi handed the medicinal recipe to Eunuch Guo in the imperial kitchen.

Eunuch Guo bowed his head and was a little more respectful than before, "The Za family will watch it in person and send it to my wife when it's ready. Don't worry, girl."

Lu Yi was very satisfied with his attitude, patted his shoulder and left. There were bright pearl flowers in her bun, and the stamens trembled.

Eunuch Guo looked at her lively figure and shook his head.

Although the body is still a little weak, people are in high spirits during happy events, and Lu Yi walks briskly all the way.

"It's just a paper tiger, it looks scary." came a female voice, her words full of contempt.

Lu Yi paused in her steps. Although she didn't name him, she always felt that he was talking about Yong'an Palace, so she hid behind the rockery and listened.

"But I heard that last night, Your Majesty——" Another person said hesitantly.

"What's the point? It's just that the Holy One took pity on her. Considering her status, he gave her some mercy."

"Didn't you hear that the Holy One returned to Yangxin Pavilion early in the morning? That person is the Holy One's favorite."

The person speaking was none other than Zhu Guiji, who wiped Mrs. An's stool like a pug last time.

Among the group of people, she walked in the middle, her chin slightly raised, her expression arrogant, and several young talents followed her.

There was a sneer on her beautiful face, as if she was aloof and arrogant.

"Although she is a queen, she has been married to the Holy Lord for so many years and still has nothing to do. She is extremely incompetent. With Mrs. An's status, she can still enter the harem and make the Holy Lord ignore the dissuasion of the courtiers. Now she regards her as a treasure. Let's see. , when Mrs. An gives birth to a child, I am afraid that within a few years, the harem will change."

Lu Yi clenched his fists, furious!

How dare they say that?Even Mrs. An didn't dare to say this, and she had to bow to the empress when she saw her!

Aren't these people just bullying the empress to treat others generously?
