Chapter 164

The afterglow of the setting sun shone from the outside branches onto the carved window sills, moved down inch by inch, transferred to the ground made of white marble, fell on the magnificent vermilion wall carved with white tigers, and then fell on the blue embroidered white tiger. on the tent.

The gilded white tiger incense burner in the room was spitting out ambergris, and the faint fragrance had long been covered by the strong smell of the medicine. After taking the white jade medicine bowl and feeding the medicine to Lord Qingli, he used a brocade handkerchief to spread the medicine to Lord Qingli. The remaining medicinal juice at the corner of the mouth was carefully wiped clean, the movements were very gentle.

She is the most honorable empress of the Li country, Cheng Yao, the eldest daughter of the Cheng family. She has a noble background, outstanding appearance, and unparalleled intelligence. She has everything that women in the world most envy, but——few people know it, only Under such circumstances, she can get close to her husband, and only at this time, he will not refuse her closeness...

Cheng Yao stared at Qingli Jun infatuatedly, her eyes traced Qingli Jun's eyebrows little by little.

It is said that Mr. Xin is extremely gentle and elegant, but if you look carefully, his black eyebrows that fly into the temples, his narrow and deep red phoenix eyes, and his high nose bridge are sharp and angular. However, his fair complexion reduces the sharpness of his eyebrows and eyes. And the corners of his mouth are always shallow, with a gentle smile, which is even more amiable.

Cheng Yao's eyes fell on Qing Lijun's lips that had lost their blood color due to poisoning again. They said that men with thin lips are mostly fickle. This is true. She has given him her whole heart these years, but But he still treats her with a cold attitude, like his greatest enemy...

No, he wasn't ruthless, but gave his tenderness all his life to another woman... When Cheng Yao thought of this, a sneering smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she looked at Qing Lijun with a little bit of love in her eyes. resentment...

It was because of that woman that he treated her coldly.He even hated it to the bone, because of her existence, he couldn't make that woman his queen, and because of her existence, he couldn't fulfill his vow to her as a couple for life.

Cheng Yao's originally tender eyes fell on Qing Lijun's face like a knife at this moment, and the years seemed to treat him extra favorably. After knowing him for so many years, his appearance didn't seem to have changed much. Cheng Yao unconsciously Touching her own face, the time spent locked in the secluded palace has long since turned her from a young girl into a puppet wrapped in fine clothes who has lost her soul.

"Your Majesty, you haven't closed your eyes for several days. There are servants guarding the Emperor's side. You should go to rest earlier..." Bai Ling couldn't help seeing Cheng Yao staring at Lord Qingli again in a daze. Lived and said.

Cheng Yao didn't seem to hear Bai Ling's words, and suddenly said: "Concubine Jing and Jing Chenyu came to see the emperor today but were dismissed by my palace. I know that as long as my palace is here, I won't let them come to see the emperor. But they come to Qianqing Palace every day, rain or shine."

These days, Lord Qingli was seriously ill, and Cheng Yao stayed by his side in confusion. Logically speaking, Cheng Yao was the person most suspected of harming Lord Qingli, and it was simply unreasonable to stay by Lord Qingli's side , Naturally, it was opposed by the ministers of the DPRK and China headed by King Ning.

Cheng Yao has always been strong in her actions, regardless of everyone's criticism, she took Qingli Lord's safety on herself, and said that if something happened to Qingli Lord, she would be buried with her, and Prince Li acquiesced in Cheng Yao's deeds .

At this time, it also showed the importance of having military power. Even though the eldest prince and King Ning still objected, the guards in the palace were replaced by the Cheng family army to guard, and Cheng Yao guarded Qing Lijun's side in confusion, and issued an order Without her will, no one is allowed to get close, including Concubine Jing and the First Prince.

"They knew this and came every day on purpose. Didn't they wait for the emperor to wake up and sue the empress, and wiped out all the credit of the empress for taking care of the emperor these days." Bai Ling followed Cheng Yao since childhood, The relationship between the two is like that of sisters, and Bai Ling has a delicate mind and is a few years older than Cheng Yao. It is precisely because of this that Cheng Meng let Bai Ling enter the palace with Cheng Yao.

Cheng Yao was in the palace all these years, thanks to Bai Ling's help, and because of this, Bai Ling and Cheng Yao have always spoken directly without detours.

When talking about this, Bai Ling's tone was a bit persuasive, and he said to Cheng Yao: "If your empress doesn't want the concubine Jing's mother and son to come to see the emperor, you can use other reasons to stop the concubine Jing's mother and son from coming. Why let the guards stop the Concubine Jing from the door, just talking about it, the emperor will not get any benefits."

Cheng Yao was born in a general family, she has a strong personality, and she does things vigorously and swiftly. She can't compare to the concubine Jing who was born in a low family and is used to the cold world, and can buy people's hearts.These years, Cheng Yao's life in the palace has not been satisfactory. Nine out of ten people in the palace have received the favor of respecting the concubine. Although the servants did not say anything about Cheng Yao's actions this time, they criticized them secretly and let Bai Ling listen. Very uncomfortable.

The corner of Cheng Yao's mouth curled into a sneering smile, and she said lightly: "No matter what I do, he thinks it's wrong, why should I do such superficial efforts, now that I have Zhao'er, as long as he behaves well , I don’t care what other people think of me..."

Speaking, Cheng Yao suddenly asked: "Recently Zhao'er hasn't been to Taixue, and I didn't see him come to Qianqing Palace today to pay his respects. Where did he go?"

Seeing Cheng Yao asking about the prince, Bai Ling's heart skipped a beat, but he didn't dare to hide it under Cheng Yao's gaze, and said falteringly, "The prince...has left the palace today..."

"Going out of the palace!" Cheng Yao's tone was a bit harsh, and she said displeasedly: "This child really doesn't know the seriousness. His father is seriously ill and wants to go out of the palace to have fun. I don't care about it these days." See him messing around again and see how I will punish him when I come back..."

Bailing saw Cheng Yao's displeasure, and heard that Cheng Yao was going to punish Jing Chenzhao, so he didn't care to hide it for Jing Chenzhao, and quickly explained: "In a few days, it will be the mother's birthday. Leaving the palace is to prepare a birthday gift for the empress..."

Although Jing Chenzhao was naughty, he was very filial. Hearing this, Cheng Yao's face softened a little, and he said, "This child..., today is the fireworks festival, and there are many people on the street, so you send more people to follow the prince. Besides, now that the emperor is unconscious, I don't have any thoughts about celebrating my birthday."

Bai Ling said with relief: "Didn't the genius doctor yesterday say that the emperor will wake up in two days? It's a good thing for double happiness..."

When Bai Ling said this, the smile on Cheng Yao's face shrank a little, and there was a little more sadness between her brows. Those slender and pale hands touched Qingli Jun's eyebrows, and her movements were unparalleled. ...

"I really hope...he won't wake up in this life..."

The raving tone and soft sigh made people feel unbearably sad, and the suppressed madness hidden in the depths of the eyes like heavy ink dots made Bai Ling's heart tremble involuntarily.

"If you liked someone that much, would you hurt him for any reason?" Fu Yunshu's heart trembled slightly when he heard Cheng Lie's words, his eyes drooped without saying a word.

After a while, Fu Yunshu just said: "Even if I believe that the empress is innocent and the concubine Jing's mother and son harbor evil intentions, but...Master Cheng also knows that among the missions where the three of them are going this time, Yunshu is not as good at speaking as your son." ;In terms of status, he can't compare to General Xie. Yun Shu is soft-spoken, if Mr. Cheng wants to find someone to cooperate with, I'm afraid Yun Shu will disappoint Mr. Cheng."

As soon as Fu Yunshu said the words, Cheng Lie's mouth curled into a meaningful smile, and he said, "It seems that Mr. Fu still doesn't understand the importance of himself..."

"It seems that Mr. Xie and Mr. Xiao are equal in this mission, but Mr. Xiao's decision-making can truly represent Emperor Zhao. Mr. Fu seems to have a low status, but... Mr. Fu's opinions can affect Mr. Xiao .As long as Mr. Fu supports the crown prince, Mr. Xiao will definitely not turn towards the eldest prince..."

Hearing Cheng Lie's words, Fu Yunshu's heart trembled, and he looked at Cheng Lie in surprise... When did she have such influence in Xiao Que's mind, could it be because Cheng Lie heard those rumors.

Fu Yunshu smiled wryly, and explained to Cheng Lie: "Master Cheng may have misunderstood..."

"Master Fu, don't underestimate yourself." Cheng Lie interrupted Fu Yunshu's words, stood up immediately, and whispered a few words into Fu Yunshu's ear. After hearing Cheng Lie's words, Fu Yunshu's original shallow smile suddenly subsided , with a look of disbelief.

Cheng Lie smiled faintly, got up and opened the window, only to see the twilight outside, the lights just came on, and the two of them had been talking secretly all afternoon, "If Mr. Fu cooperates with me, I can tell Mr. Fu a lot about what Mr. Fu wants to do." Knowing the secret, this transaction is beneficial and harmless to you and me, please think about it carefully, Mr. Fu."

The evening wind from outside brought a burst of coolness. Osmanthus fragrans were planted on the edge of the water pavilion in the distance. The wind with the fragrance of osmanthus blew away half of the irritability, uneasiness and restlessness in his heart. Fu Yunshu took a deep breath and put the The complicated emotions in my heart calmed down, and I smiled and said to Cheng Lie: "Thank you, Mr. Cheng for your invitation today. I will consider what Mr. Cheng said today, as long as——I really treat him as Mr. Cheng said. If it's that important..."

As he said that, Fu Yunshu walked away. Cheng Lie looked at Fu Yunshu's back and seemed to be running away... A smile slowly appeared on the corner of his mouth, and his eyes were either pity or sigh... Fu Yunshu, what do you know The secret is just the tip of the iceberg that he is hiding from you. If you only know this, you can't bear it?
At this time, there was the sound of the stone door turning, and a stone room appeared behind the hanging landscape painting. A man in purple came out of the stone room. Although his eyes were covered with silk, it did not affect his actions at all.

Seeing that man, Cheng Lie put away the complicated emotions on his face, smiled and said to the man in purple: "It has been carried out according to the son's plan, and the promise that the son promised me should be carried out..."

The man in purple smiled slightly, and said, "Don't worry, Master Cheng will surely get what he wants..."
