Chapter 672: The gap between Emperor Yong'an and Empress Zhao

On the other side, Queen Zhao had just returned to her bedroom and ordered the palace maid to prepare hot water for her bath. Although what happened just now was just an accident, Queen Zhao always felt a little sorry for His Majesty, so she planned to take a bath to wash away the scent of Chen Mo that she had picked up from hugging him.

But at this moment, a eunuch came over and said that His Majesty wanted to see her.

Queen Zhao recognized the eunuch as the father-in-law who served His Majesty.

She asked the other party to wait for a moment, then went to the dressing table, sprayed some perfume on herself, and after simply tidying up her clothes, she followed the eunuch to the Emperor Yong'an's bedroom.

When Empress Zhao arrived, Emperor Yong'an was sitting on the ground, drinking. He must have drunk a lot. There were several wine pots placed messily beside him. Emperor Yong'an's cheeks were flushed and he smelled of alcohol. Hearing the noise, he looked up at Empress Zhao who was walking towards him and said, "Empress, you are here."

"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you? Why did you drink so much?" Queen Zhao quickly stepped forward to help Emperor Yong'an up, then turned back and angrily scolded the eunuch who followed her in: "How did you take care of His Majesty!"

"Please forgive me, Your Majesty." The eunuch knelt down in panic.

"Queen, please don't blame them. I wanted to drink. You go down first." As he said this, he broke away from Queen Zhao and continued to sit down and drink. After the eunuch went down, he wanted to pull Queen Zhao to sit down and drink together.

Queen Zhao blushed and said, "Your Majesty, you forgot that I can't drink."

"Look at my brain. I almost forgot. Don't blame me, Queen."

"Your Majesty, what are you talking about? How dare I blame you?"

Empress Zhao thought that Emperor Yong'an was really drunk, so she didn't think much about his rude breakaway behavior. While picking up the things on the ground, she whispered, "Did your majesty encounter something sad?"

She knew that Emperor Yong'an would not get drunk for no reason.

Emperor Yong'an looked at Empress Zhao's charming face and wanted to say, "You know it in your heart." But he was afraid of Chen Mo behind her, or he had a glimmer of hope in his heart, thinking that this might be a misunderstanding. He pretended to be drunk and asked, "Did the Queen go to the Queen Mother just now?"

Queen Zhao nodded and said, "It's a pity that the Queen Mother took sick leave and did not see me."

At this point, when Empress Zhao was about to tell Emperor Yong'an about her feelings towards the Empress Dowager, the latter asked, "Has the Empress met the King of Wei?"

Although Emperor Yong'an did not look at Queen Zhao with his eyes, his peripheral vision was always on her.

Then, he saw Queen Zhao looked panicked and her eyes were evasive.

Queen Zhao said, "No. What was the King of Wei doing in Shoukang Palace? Why did the Queen Mother summon him?"

When Emperor Yong'an heard that Queen Zhao lied to him, his heart ached suddenly. If he had not seen it with his own eyes, he would have probably believed her.

When Queen Zhao saw that Emperor Yong'an didn't say anything for a while, she immediately guessed that the reason why he was drunk might be related to the Queen Mother and the King of Wei.

Could it be that Your Majesty already knows about the affair between the Queen Mother and the King of Wei?

And Your Majesty has no way to deal with the King of Wei and can only vent his emotions by getting drunk?

"Yu Shu, you won't betray me, will you?" Emperor Yong'an suddenly looked up and stared into Queen Zhao's eyes, calling her by her nickname.

Hearing this, Queen Zhao felt that what she had just thought was correct, the Queen Mother had betrayed the royal family.

She looked at Emperor Yong'an seriously and said, "Of course, I am your Majesty's queen."

"Can I trust you?"

"Your Majesty, are you really okay? Why are you suddenly asking this?"

"Answer me."

"Your Majesty, you can trust me, just as I will always trust Your Majesty." Queen Zhao grabbed Emperor Yong'an's hand and said seriously.

After receiving Queen Zhao's assurance again, Emperor Yong'an just wanted to laugh in his heart, and he also gave up the slightest hope that it might be Chen Mo's coercion rather than Queen Zhao's voluntary decision.

He said, "Yu Shu, in your opinion, what kind of person do you think the King of Wei is?"

Queen Zhao looked around and was about to say "he has evil intentions and is harboring evil thoughts" when she suddenly remembered that the entire palace was filled with Chen Mo's people. If these words were heard by the King of Wei's people, it would be bad for Her Majesty and that would be troublesome.

Therefore, she made some relatively objective comments about the King of Wei.

When Emperor Yong'an heard this, he felt that Queen Zhao was protecting Chen Mo and speaking for him. He felt even more heartbroken and could no longer hold back his anger, "Nonsense! The Prince of Wei is even more cunning than the thieves Xu and Lu. He dared to come in and out of my harem at will, and he slaughtered the royal family members at will. He didn't even have me in his eyes..."

"Your Majesty, you are drunk." Seeing Emperor Yong'an speak so loudly, Queen Zhao was frightened. If these words were heard by Chen Mo, it would be disastrous. She quickly covered up for Emperor Yong'an and spoke loudly, trying to let Chen Mo's spies outside hear:

"Your Majesty, you have misunderstood the King of Wei. He has devoted all his energy to the country. It is not like what you said. Your Majesty, you are really drunk. I will help you to rest."

"I'm not drunk." Emperor Yong'an pushed Queen Zhao away. Hearing his queen defending Chen Mo like this, the sadness in his heart was like a river.

"Your Majesty." Queen Zhao lost her balance and was pushed to the ground by Emperor Yong'an. She looked at him in a daze. It was the first time that she was treated like this by Emperor Yong'an.

At the same time, I felt that Emperor Yong'an was really drunk.

"This world was conquered by Emperor Taizu. It belongs to our Chu family, not Chen Mo." Emperor Yong'an was still venting.

But Queen Zhao just felt her scalp tingling: "Your Majesty, please stop talking, you are really drunk."

Queen Zhao helped Emperor Yong'an to lie down on the dragon bed.

Emperor Yong'an looked at Queen Zhao's graceful figure as she bent over, and glanced at her beautiful and charming face, and his heart was burning with anger.

This is my woman. Even if she is touched by you, King Wei, she is still my woman.

"Your Majesty, I will ask someone to make you a bowl of ginseng soup to sober you up."

As Queen Zhao was about to get up and give orders, Emperor Yong'an grabbed her hand and pulled her onto the bed. He turned over and pressed Queen Zhao under him, tearing off her clothes.

Queen Zhao was frightened. You know, she had always been well cared for by Emperor Yong'an. He had never scolded her or yelled at her, let alone treated her so rudely. Therefore, she was frightened by such an abnormal behavior.

Especially since she never drank alcohol. According to Chen Mo's words from his previous life, she was allergic to alcohol. Therefore, the smell of alcohol on Emperor Yong'an made Queen Zhao extremely uncomfortable, so she resisted instinctively.

This made Emperor Yong'an even more furious. In the past, Queen Zhao would only cooperate and would never resist him.

What? After being touched by the King of Wei, you won’t allow me to touch you anymore?
Emperor Yong'an's movements became more rough, and then he discovered something he had never noticed before: Queen Zhao's pitiful and tearful appearance seemed even more attractive.

His throat rolled and he kissed Queen Zhao.

As luck would have it, he burped.

You must know that when people drink too much, the burps smell very bad.

This made Queen Zhao unable to help but push Emperor Yong'an away from her, saying, "Your Majesty, you are drunk," and then left in a panic.

Emperor Yong'an was so angry that he hammered the bed.

I cursed her in my heart, "She's a bitch. She colluded with the King of Wei and now she doesn't take me seriously."

……

Shoukang Palace on the other side.

Chen Mo didn't know that Emperor Yong'an had already developed resentment towards Queen Zhao and himself, and he was being intimate with the Queen Mother.

He savored Liang Ji's soft and juicy lips, and was reluctant to leave. It was not until she was a little out of breath and her eyes were misty that Chen Mo quickly left the beautiful woman's lips, and the eyes between them were almost tearing.

He chuckled and said, "It seems that the Queen Mother missed me a lot during the time I was away."

Liang Ji rolled her eyes at Chen Mo.

"I miss the Queen Mother too." Chen Mo reached out and held Liang Ji in his arms and kissed her again.

This time, he not only kissed Liang Ji's lips, but also her neck, collarbone, shoulders, etc.

Liang Ji narrowed her eyes, bit her cherry lips lightly, and held Chen Mo's head tightly with both hands.

After a long time.

"Don't." Seeing Chen Mo trying to untie her skirt, Liang Ji, who was already in a daze, suddenly came to her senses, stopped Chen Mo, and said unhappily: "You want the child to die in your womb."

"It's okay, it's been five months, it won't affect anything." Chen Mo already understood this very well.

It only affects the early and late stages of pregnancy. In the middle stage of pregnancy, it will be fine as long as you don't do anything reckless.

But Liang Ji did not agree with Chen Mo. This was her first child, and maybe also her last.

After all, she is already in her thirties and is considered old. She may not be able to get pregnant again in the future, and she doesn't want any accidents to happen.

Although Chen Mo was a little disappointed, he did not force it. He said, "Let someone tell His Majesty about moving out of the palace as soon as possible, so as to avoid any more trouble."

It's hard for him to talk about this kind of thing.

Liang Ji nodded.

Then, Chen Mo told her about the Rejuvenating Pill. He didn't bring it with him this time, so he gave her one when he went down to the palace.

"No rush. Even if I took it, I wouldn't eat it now, so as not to affect the baby. Let's wait until after the baby is born." All medicines are poisonous. Liang Ji was very cautious about this.

"Alright."

Afterwards, Chen Moyou stayed with Liang Ji for a while and said, "It's getting late. I'll leave first and come to the palace to accompany you tomorrow."

Chen Mo lowered his head and kissed Liang Ji on the forehead.

……

Just after leaving Shoukang Palace, a palace maid came over. She was the person arranged by Chen Mo to work in the emperor's bedroom.

The palace maid told him some of the things that Emperor Yong'an had said to him in the bedroom before.

After listening, Chen Mo frowned.

He wanted to go further, but not now.

In his plan, he had to wait until the people he arranged took office in various places, and finally when all places were on the right track, that would be the best time and the least impact.

But he didn't expect that Emperor Yong'an would become restless so soon.

It seems that I have to go and give His Majesty a warning.

……

The emperor's palace.

"Your Majesty, the ginseng soup is ready." Queen Zhao walked in holding the ginseng soup.

She had deep feelings for Emperor Yong'an, and what happened just now did not make her leave. Instead, she felt that her behavior just now was a bit too much, so she went to the imperial kitchen and personally made a ginseng soup for Emperor Yong'an.

She endured the discomfort of the alcohol and sat down beside the dragon bed. She didn't know that Emperor Yong'an was pretending to sleep. She gently pushed Emperor Yong'an and said, "Your Majesty, the ginseng soup is ready. I will help you get up and drink some. After drinking the ginseng soup, you will feel much better."

Emperor Yong'an was "woken up" and cooperated with Queen Zhao to sit up, but he was still pretending to be drunk. Then he deliberately went crazy and pretended to accidentally bumped Queen Zhao's arm with his hand, causing the ginseng soup in Queen Zhao's hand to spill on herself.

She screamed "Ah" and stood up, the bowl in her hand fell to the ground and broke, and her palace skirt was soaked by the ginseng soup. Summer skirts are already thin, and now that they are wet, they have a hazy flesh color.

It wasn't really hot, she waited until it was warm before bringing it to her, but it looked a little messy.

She didn't think Emperor Yong'an did it on purpose, but she couldn't stay any longer in her current state, so she said, "Your Majesty, please wait a moment. I'll go undress and serve you another bowl."

After saying this, she called the palace maid to pick up the debris on the ground. She left the bedroom and headed towards the queen's bedroom.

Her bedroom was in the harem.

Chen Mo had just come out of the harem and the two of them bumped into each other.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to Her Majesty the Queen." Chen Mo bowed.

"King Wei," Queen Zhao replied with a smile. When she was about to leave, Chen Mo pointed at her palace skirt and asked, "Queen, what are you doing?"

If Chen Mo hadn't said it, Queen Zhao wouldn't have noticed. But after Chen Mo pointed it out, she realized that she did look a little "indecent".

Queen Zhao's face turned red, and just as she wanted to escape quickly.

Chen Mo took off his dragon robe and handed it to Queen Zhao, indicating that she could use it to cover herself first.

This area is still some distance away from the harem.

There are Royal Guards patrolling around, and it would be bad if they saw us.

"Thank you," Queen Zhao's face turned even redder. She didn't think much about it. She just wanted to escape from here quickly and get through the embarrassment. Finally, she said, "The clothes have been washed and I will return them to you next time." Then she hurriedly put on the dragon robe and left quickly.

Chen Mo didn't think about what happened to Queen Zhao and walked straight towards the emperor's bedroom.

In the emperor's bedroom.

As soon as Queen Zhao left, Emperor Yong'an no longer looked drunk. He had a face full of sadness, and felt heartbroken that the Queen had betrayed him.

At this moment, the eunuch came to report: "Your Majesty, the King of Wei wants to see you."

"Tell King Wei that I have a headache and need to rest." Emperor Yong'an said, feeling inexplicably panicked.

"promise."

The eunuch withdrew.

But not long after, the eunuch walked in.

Emperor Yongan: “???”

"The King of Wei wants me to tell your majesty a few words." The eunuch said slowly, "I am loyal to your majesty. Your majesty, please do not listen to the slander of others and misunderstand me. I care about the country and the people of the world, and I have no second thoughts about your majesty. I hope your majesty will understand."
