Marry instead, favor the first princess

Chapter 501
The minister choked for a moment, helpless by the emperor's attitude.

"Your Majesty, the plague is spreading, the disease is out of control, and the people are struggling to survive... If this continues, the people will flee this way, and I am afraid they will bring the plague here! Issuing treasury silver can curb the disease..."

Another minister added a sentence before going up at this time.

The rest of the people nodded repeatedly in agreement.

"Is the disease spreading?"

Mo Shangchen repeated these four words lightly, with an incomprehensible expression on his face.

For a long time, just when everyone thought that he would agree to it.

However, a mocking smile flashed across Mo Shangchen's beautiful face: "Then, let them die there..."

Hearing this, the ministers were all startled.

"The emperor means..."

"What I mean is, if we kill them all and set them on fire, then nothing will happen..."

Mo Shangchen picked up the teacup on one side, and said these words slowly.

The ministers couldn't help being shocked by this.

After reacting, Qiqi even knelt down and pleaded repeatedly: "Please think again, Your Majesty..."

"okay!"

Mo Shangchen interrupted impatiently, and then waved his hands towards them... When he saw that they were upset, he couldn't help but increase his tone: "The night is getting dark, I'm tired, let me step down..."

Ministers, you look at me, I look at you... In the end, they had to say in unison: "I will retire..."

After finishing his sentence, he glanced at Mo Shangchen above him, then heaved a helpless sigh and retreated.

After Mo Shangchen watched them retreat one by one, he threw the teacup onto the desk... Eunuch Li on the side hurried forward to clean it up: "The emperor calm down..."

"You get off too!"

Hearing Eunuch Li's voice, Mo Shangchen made another sarcastic remark.

"Your Majesty, it's late at night, it's time to rest..."

Xu was used to Mo Shangchen's attitude, so Eunuch Li cautiously reminded him.

Mo Shangchen didn't listen, and just uttered a word coldly: "Get lost..."

Eunuch Li had no choice but to retreat quickly after packing everything up... In his heart, he couldn't help shaking his head and sighing: When Mo Shangchen first came to the throne, although his temperament was indifferent, he handled all political affairs properly, and he was also careful about the affairs of the people. All of them were taken to heart, which won the praise of the whole court.

However, with the passing of the empress, the emperor's temperament changed day by day.

Especially for the world and the people, there is only deep hatred and destruction... I heard that the emperor hurt the empress because the empress swore to be unfavorable to the people in the world, and finally caused the empress to lose her life.

The cause of the matter is probably here.

"Eunuch Li, is the emperor in there?"

Eunuch Li just withdrew when a woman asked from behind.

Turning her head, she saw that it was Li Ruo.

"So it's Miss Li Ruo..."

Eunuch Li had a smile on his face, obviously no stranger.

Li Ruo, who was originally a noble concubine, somehow offended the emperor... After the empress passed away, she was soon deposed as a noble concubine, and now the harem is still empty.

Two years ago, the old lady died of illness.

Before she died, she asked the emperor to keep Li Ruo in the palace so that she would have no worries about food and clothing. It was for the sake of serving the country in the past... In this way, although Li Ruo was no longer a noble concubine, she still lived in the palace all the time. In the middle of the day, I come to see the emperor from time to time.

The emperor simply ignored Miss Li Ruo, but Miss Li Ruo persisted.

Therefore, in Li Gonggong's opinion, Miss Liruo is the only woman who can be close to the emperor, and maybe she can also become the queen in the future.

Therefore, there is some respect in the attitude.

"The emperor is inside, but he is in a bad mood..."

Eunuch Li said the truth, and there was a hint of helplessness in his words... At the end, he looked at what Li Ruo was holding in his hand, and stepped aside with a smile: "Miss Li Ruo, please go in quickly, maybe the emperor Just waiting..."

Hearing this, a smile appeared in Li Ruo's eyes, and after nodding to Eunuch Li, she opened the door and walked in.

Inside, Mo Shangchen was leaning on the chair.

Beside him, a picture scroll was spread out, on which was the appearance of an alluring woman...But see, while stroking, he murmured softly: "Girl, I was wrong... Come back, okay?" Is it? It's been three years, as long as you come back, I don't want anything..."

After finishing the sentence, a drop of tear streaked across the corner of the eye, and dripped on the blank of the picture scroll, leaving traces... beside it, there are already many traces, all of which prove the sadness of the master.

This is what Li Ruo saw when he came in.

The hands holding the chicken soup couldn't help tightening.

It's been three years, three full years, and she's known him... It's been ten years.

Ten years of time can't match the beauty of a woman's smile.

Mo Shangchen, Mo Shangchen, is your heart made of stone?In the past three years, I have abandoned all dignity and stayed by your side every day.

Even a heart of stone should be warmed up!
She's dead, why can't you just look at me?what is this!
Thinking of this, Li Ruo looked at the painting with a trace of hatred... After a while, she tried to restrain her mood and walked to the counter with a smile on her face: "Your Majesty, I made chicken soup for you with my own hands. You have a taste..."

"Why are you here? Didn't I say that I don't want to see you..."

Mo Shangchen didn't raise his head, his tone was cold.

Afterwards, he carefully rolled up the scroll in his hand, and the slightest earnestness made Li Ruo jealous and mad... Mingyue, this woman is already dead, why does she still occupy his heart?
"I made chicken soup..."

"Take it away! I'm not interested..."

Before Li Ruo Rourou finished speaking, Mo Shangchen interrupted it with a wave of his hand, and still didn't even look at her.

Seeing this, Li Ruo was very unwilling, and was helpless for a while.

Putting the chicken soup on the desk, she didn't dare to say anything, but just stared at Mo Shangchen... Staying by his side was no longer for the queen's position, and she couldn't figure out what state of mind she was in.

All I know is that the more indifferent he is to her, the more he wants to get close to him.

Look, he has such affection for Mingyue, she really wants to give everything, only wishing that the woman he fell in love with is her... Obviously, she was the one who met Mo Shangchen first, and it was obviously her who Mo Shangchen fell in love with first!

She is not reconciled, really is not reconciled!

"Stop torturing yourself, okay? She...she's dead...it's been three years...stop kidding yourself..."

After all, Li Ruo couldn't bear to watch it, so she reminded her aloud.

Mo Shangchen was startled with his hand caressing the scroll, and then said something coldly.

Li Ruo was stunned for a moment, not daring to say anything more.

Originally, she was no longer qualified to see Mo Shangchen again, but Mo Shangchen agreed to it because of her grandmother's prayer before she died... After that, she washed her hands and made soup, day after day, insisting on treating Mo Shangchen... He is good, but unfortunately he never looks at her.

"I don't understand, what's so good about her? She deserves your love..."

Li Ruo pinched her ten fingers into the meat, and there was a touch of excitement in her tone.

For him, she dresses the same as Mingyue, dresses the same as Mingyue, and even speaks closer to Mingyue... But, he never gave her a chance, otherwise, he would find that she might be better than Mingyue .

Mo Shangchen remained silent, his white hair fell down, reflecting a bit of poignant beauty... Finally, he finally raised his eyes to look at Li Ruo, and said lightly: "She will come back, I believe she will come back..."

After finishing his sentence, he lowered his eyes again.

It was he who hurt her, as long as Mingyue was willing to come back, no matter what.

"She won't be coming back..."

Li Ruo took the words, and then watched Mo Shangchen slump... A thought flashed in her mind, and she finally put it into practice, and rushed forward in one fell swoop, and while Mo Shangchen was immersed in it, held him The painting in his hand was snatched out.

"what are you doing?"

Mo Shangchen stood up abruptly, looking at Li Ruo with a trace of anger in his eyes.

"I don't want to see you go on like this! She is dead, she shouldn't exist..."

After finishing the sentence, Li Ruo's heart became ruthless, and she was about to tear off the painting in her hand.
