Long live Emperor Wu!

Wu Rou smiled happily.

The two people were embarrassed and funny because their heads were hanging together.

"Hahahahaha... What should we do? It's all above our heads and we can't see anything." Wu Rou said.

Li Shan moved his head closer to her again, pressed his forehead against hers, took a few deep breaths, and said:

"You take off my imperial crown first, and I will slowly remove it for you."

Wu Rou stretched out her hand and untied the strap on his chin, then pulled out the hairpin and lifted the crown up.

Li Shan also cooperated by bending his knees and lowering his head to make room for Wu Rou.

Wu Rou saw him doing this seriously, seriously and cautiously, and laughed harder and harder. She held up the crown with both hands and laughed forward and backward.

Li Shan withdrew, stood straight with his back and looked at her, blushing and said:

"What are you laughing at? Are you just laughing at me? Look at how you look now."

Wu Roucai was not so thin-skinned. She held the crown in both hands, smiled more and more wantonly, and said:

"I'm not afraid. Who would have thought that His Majesty, who has always been dignified and self-possessed, would be so embarrassed, hahahaha..."

Li Shan pursed his lips, rolled his eyes at her, and helplessly picked her up again, leading her to the edge of the bed.

As soon as he sat on the bed, he asked Wu Rou to sit next to him, lying on his lap, and then began to carefully undo the few strands of hair that were intertwined.

Wu Rou felt his seriousness and carefulness, so careful and gentle, as if he was afraid of hurting her. The thought of teasing was gone, replaced by tenderness:

"If you really can't untie it, just tear it off. I'm not afraid of pain."

Li Shan ignored her and continued to take it apart seriously, very patiently.

After a while, he breathed a sigh of relief, took off the crown, placed it on the side of the bed, and said:

"It's so dangerous. You can't do anything disrespectful while wearing these clothes from now on."

Wu Rou heard this and sat up while pressing his thigh. She then touched him a few more times and said:

"It's not solemn anymore. You don't know, I really like this outfit you wear."

With that said, he knocked him down.

"Nonsense!" Li Shan scolded in a low voice, but he didn't really resist and allowed her to do whatever he wanted on him.

……

……

On the day when the abolition was discussed in the court, Queen Wang sat in her bedroom and did not move all morning.

She knew she had no one left to serve.

Before entering the palace, her uncle once told her how his Majesty was so soft-hearted and easy to control, and taught her to slowly take the initiative and let him listen to her.

Now, when she can no longer control herself, her once "biggest support" has become an abandoned loser.

She didn't dare to plead with the emperor, because long time has proved that although he is not cruel enough, he is stubborn enough. He hates you, and no matter what means he uses, it will be useless.

On that long morning, she wore the same clothes as during the canonization ceremony, with impeccable makeup, sitting on her queen's throne, waiting for her known fate.

In fact, she still had a little bit of luck in her heart. She hoped that those in the court would fully oppose Wu Rou because of her identity and past, and leave this honorary position for her.

But when you think about it, it's impossible. Everyone knows that Wu Rou is the emperor's favorite woman.

But now, he has almost removed all the forces that restrained him, and he already has great power.

For the courtiers, following the emperor's will is to protect their future.

Who would go against a young and powerful emperor for a discarded woman like her?

At this time, she couldn't help but think.    If...if before entering the palace, I had not been so sure that Li Shan was easy to handle and had been trying to control him, would their results have been different?

At this moment, Prince Li Zhong was led in, interrupting her trance.

The adopted son she recognized was already over ten years old and looked like a young boy. Looking at her now, his chest was heaving violently and his eyes were full of fear.

After a while, he asked quietly:

"Queen Mother... They said that you are going to be crippled, and I am going to be crippled. Am... am I going to die?"

Because of the extreme fear, the child's voice trembled when he spoke, as if he was standing in the wilderness in the cold winter of December 9th, shaking so hard that he couldn't control himself.

Queen Wang glanced at him, still a little disgusted. After slowly looking away, she felt a little lonely and guilty and said:

"... Don't worry, you won't become like that bird, because you are too stupid... Only the strong are qualified to be silenced."

Prince Li Zhong trembled, and tears gradually overflowed from his eyes.

He has known since he was a child that he is not the Queen's biological child. He has been disliked by the Queen for as long as he can remember.

In order to urge him to make progress, the queen mother always talked about how he would die if he was deposed.

At that time, he was still very young and had no concrete concept of the word death.

His mother, in order to frighten him, had an oriole he raised killed.

He would never forget the bleeding bird, its neck twisted, and the bloody flesh exposed under its bright feathers.

From then on, he was really afraid of death, and he became more and more frightened and "stupid".

"Is it true...but my father...he doesn't like me either." Li Zhong asked tremblingly.

Queen Wang looked at him and said expressionlessly:

"If you don't believe it, then go and beg him, beg him to let you live, beg him not to destroy you."

Li Zhong cringed and clasped his fingers together, trembling and whispering:

"But I dare not..."

Queen Wang narrowed her eyes slightly, and tears quickly moistened her eyes.

As if she was speaking to herself, she sneered and said:

"Ha... you see, even begging for mercy is something only those who are favored have the courage to do. People who are not favored don't dare to do it."

This was the first time that Li Zhong heard words from Empress Wang that seemed to understand him and forgive him, and she was filled with more warmth than ever before.

He raised his head and called out "Mother" in tears. He couldn't hold back his tears anymore and began to cry bitterly.

The waiter outside hurriedly walked in from outside, bowed his head, then knelt on the ground and reported:

"Mother, with the news coming from the front, the matter of abolishing the queen...is settled."

After saying that, he knelt down on the ground, almost pressing his entire upper body to the ground, fearing that he was not kneeling reverently enough and was frightened.

He thought that Queen Wang was going to lose her temper and order him to be beaten, but there was no sound for a long time.

He secretly raised his head and looked over, only to see Queen Wang sitting dignifiedly on a high seat. Although the makeup was so exquisite and perfect, it also showed a pale color, and her eyes were lifeless, like a dead person.

There was a thump in his heart, and he lay on the ground and waited for a while before quietly retreating.
