The black-bellied princess plays the prince

Chapter 51
The queen mother lies in bed and never wakes up.

He stood up, took a step forward, lifted the veil, came to Queen Xiao's bed, lowered his fingers, pushed a strand of hair from her sideburns behind her ear, and sighed softly, "Queen Mother , Erchen really hopes that you can wake up and preside over the wedding ceremony for Erchen."

But she still didn't move. Li Zeyu looked sad. After watching for a while, I stepped forward and took his hand, "If she knows, she will be happy for you."

I pray from the bottom of my heart: Queen, please wake up quickly, he is already suffering, and if you are by his side to support him, he will be very happy.

But she was still lying on the bed without making a sound, only her chest rose and fell slightly.

He still looked at her, exhaled lightly, and held my hand instead: "Let's go."

Our sleeves crossed each other, and we walked towards the entrance of the hall, the veil brushed my face, itching, this person beside me will be my reliance from now on, although the master has ulterior motives for me, and the senior sister doesn't like me, but Fortunately, there is him.

Thinking of this, my tears almost dripped down.

Suddenly, we all heard the sound of rustling coming from the hall, as if someone was getting up, I was startled and overjoyed, did my prayer work?God really won't play me this time?

I turned my head immediately, only to see the veil fluttering, and Queen Xiao, who was lying on the bed just now, disappeared. I shivered and pulled Li Zeyu nervously: "Queen, where did the queen go?"

He didn't answer me, I turned my head to look, he was standing quietly with his back to me, his body was stiff, tall and straight like a tree, he turned around slowly, inch by inch, as if he had exhausted all the strength in his body, looking It makes me feel sad, is he overjoyed?

After turning around, he took a few steps in a hurry, pulling me almost to fall. After walking a few steps, he woke up and was still holding me. ..."

Since no one answered him, only the hanging veils fluttered and fell, and the necklace pendants hit the jade hooks, jingling, we entered the palace, and the maids retreated, only the two of us were left in the palace. People, he straightened up and said loudly: "Come on, come on..."

But no one responded to us, the ancient hanging screen inlaid with jade and red sandalwood vibrated slightly, and the colorful tassels fluttered beside the bed. In this huge palace, his voice was absorbed by the thick tapestry, quietly Makes you breathless.

The brocade on the bed was uncovered, and traces of a human figure could be vaguely seen.

He touched the edge of the bed, his wrist trembling slightly, he touched the dent, but he didn't let it go, he took a long time to put his hand away, and said: "Queen, are you avoiding my son-in-law?"

"Your Majesty is awake?" As soon as I asked, I realized that I was asking too much.

With a soft voice, Li Zeyu raised his head and faced the slightly fluttering ceiling: "Queen Mother, I am your son-in-law, and son-in-law is still waiting for you to preside over the wedding ceremony for son-in-law..." He turned his head and pulled Picking up my hand, "Look, this is the person Erchen likes. Erchen lost her a year ago, and finally found her again."

The heavy curtains rippled, and the brocade-embroidered gold flowers fluttered slightly. The footsteps sounded hesitantly, and came from the Bogu hanging screen. I hurriedly pulled Li Zeyu and motioned him to look over there, but he shook his head slightly. Suddenly awakened, he also stood with his eyes down.

Finally, the bogu rack moved away slowly, but only moved a crack, and Queen Xiao showed a small half of her face, looking at us with a ignorant expression.

The brother said that people who just woke up cannot be frightened. If they are frightened, they will easily relapse. Li Zeyu's voice became softer, as if coaxing a child, "Mother, are you awake?"

Queen Xiao looked at him and drew her head back. Li Zeyu didn't move, and neither did I. After a long time, she poked her head out again. The ancient frame made a slight sound, and the gap became wider. Looking at Li Zeyu for a while, he suddenly said, "Who are you?"

Her voice was hoarse, with some hazy meaning. After saying this, Bo Gu's hanging wall closed a little, revealing only one of her eyes.

Li Zeyu was startled, afraid of frightening her: "Mother, you don't know me anymore?"

The eye behind Bogu's hanging wall blinked, "I don't know, who are you?"

"He is your son!" I could hear the disappointment in Li Zeyu's voice, and couldn't help interjecting.

That eye blinked again, and the Bogu hanging wall closed a little, leaving only half of the eye outside, she smiled softly, "I have never had a child in my life, where did I get a son?"

After hearing this, I looked at Li Zeyu worriedly, and saw that his masseter muscle on the side of his face was tense, his whole body was tense, and it took a long time for him to relax. He smiled wryly: "Mother, you are awake, Lian Yuer Don't you remember?"

Kaka's voice sounded, and the Bogu hanging wall was completely closed. She said inside the door: "So it's Yu'er, the child I found from outside the palace, the child of that slut."

Her voice was still hazy and sleepy, but the sneer in the middle was like tiles scraping the bottom of the pot, which made people's teeth sore.

I always thought that Li Zeyu was the queen's own son, but I didn't expect that there was such a layer. He hoped that Queen Xiao would wake up, but I didn't expect to hear this after waking up. I looked at him worriedly, But he saw his face was calm, as if he hadn't heard these words, and as if...he had heard these words many times.

The candlelight in the temple shone on his face through many layers of tulle, covering his face with a layer of silvery white, so white that it turned blue.

The hazy voice behind the Bogu hanging wall sighed: "How could I forget you? I took you into the palace and put you under my knees. I originally wanted to bring blessings to me, but I didn't expect that After you came, my health was not good, but I didn't take care of you for a few days, you were alone in the past ten years, and you were not bullied by other people in the palace, right?"

Li Zeyu held my hand tightly, walked to the ancient shelf, bent down and saluted, "Thanks to the queen mother, no one dares to bully my ministers."

Bogu sighed slightly behind the mural, "It's fine if you don't bully others, how dare others bully you?"

I thought it was too inconvenient for the two of them to talk through the Bogu mural, and I couldn't hear clearly, so I interjected, "Your Majesty, come out, Your Highness has always been thinking about you, and there is no one else here."

The Bogu mural remained motionless, and Queen Xiao laughed sharply, "Who is this? The new concubine you want to marry?"

Li Zeyu's face was dark, and he replied in a low voice: "Yes."

"This ancient hanging wall has been around for some years. It was made by the first king. It used a ten-inch thick copper plate as the bottom, and then painted it with wood grain lacquer, inlaid with jasper glass bottles, jade Ruyi, and ancient tripods. , the vase, the former king used thirty craftsmen to make it, and it took three months to make it. After it was made, all those craftsmen were killed, so that this secret room behind the wall was obtained, do you understand?"

"I understand." Li Zeyu said in a low voice, "The reason why I can hear the Queen Mother's words so clearly is because there are copper pipes on the hanging wall, but the sound coming from the copper pipes must be too low. I can't spread it to the outside... Mother, you have slept for a long time, and you don't know how the outside is going. If you know, you will be happy for Erchen. Congratulations, Erchen will get married soon. The king will return to the sons and ministers, and he will abdicate to support the rest of his life. Every time the sons and daughters come to visit the queen mother, in order not to be disturbed, they have carefully instructed them. If they are not summoned, they will not come in. "

I couldn't understand their conversation more and more. It was too far from the image I imagined of Li Zeyu crying when he saw the queen wake up. I tightened my robe and felt a cold wind rushing from under the robe. came in.

"Impossible..." Queen Xiao sneered in the wall of Bogu, "How could your uncle give up? With so many sons, he controls most of the country of Jin."

"Queen mother, you are right. I was fighting outside, and he always stumbling me. For example, this time, he was stuck with food and grass, which almost caused the army of my ministers to mutiny. The father and king were also confused. He actually listened to him for a while, but the father was not completely confused. He knew that he only had one son. If he didn't even protect his own son, then he would have to sit for his uncle in this country. No, a few days ago , he found out that his uncle was in collusion with the old pharaoh, and had to confiscate his whole family. Fortunately, since his mother fell ill, his father took precautions and gradually took back the power in the hands of his uncle and his sons. Otherwise, If there is such a commotion, I am afraid that even the queen mother will wake up early."

His tone of speech was very respectful, as if coaxing the queen behind the Bogu mural like a child, but the Bogu mural still didn't move, and the queen Xiao behind the mural didn't make a sound for a long time, and said after a long time: "I brought you back From that day on, I knew that you were promising, but I didn't expect that you would be like this."

Li Zeyu caressed the ancient tripod carved and inlaid on the mural, and smiled softly, "I am so promising, is the mother unhappy? Although the son was not born to the mother, he has always treated the mother as his own. He has always regarded his mother as his own mother."

Queen Xiao laughed twice behind Bogu's mural, "Really? Let me lie on the bed? How do you show filial piety to me? I really can't compliment you."

I was shocked when I heard this, let go of Li Zeyu's hand, and took a step back. What's going on?

But Li Zeyu grabbed me again, his palm was still warm and dry, but my palm was sweating, being held by his palm, sweating even more.

He smiled slowly, his voice was still as good as the jade xun, and he played the music, "Who told the father to have a son like me alone?"

Queen Xiao sneered in a low voice: "I don't know if it's from the royal family."

He was short of breath, his body burst out with strength, his muscles were tense, but he relaxed slowly, "The queen mother should come out, the mother does not wake up all the year round, in order to prevent the people in the mother's harem from using this secret room to do those things. For such a small matter, I have no choice but to seal the ventilation holes in this secret room, and the mother has just woken up, so why let the sick body be hurt again?"

Queen Xiao panted between the Bogu murals, my palms were sweating even more, I was gripped by Li Zeyu and slipped a little, I struggled, broke free from him, took a few steps back, kept away from him, and hugged the one next to me Zhuzi, thinking from the bottom of my heart, I want to leave here, leave here, I want to use the eighteen ladders of auspicious clouds, but my legs are weak, and I can't even lift my breath. I look at the back of his head, black hair like clouds, temples Ruchi, there is an eagle on the purple robe looking at it coldly... How did it come to such a field?
He glanced back at me, turned his head again, and whispered softly: "Mother, you have misunderstood my son, I don't blame you, I know that my status is low, if there is no support from my mother, how could there be such a thing?" Big achievement? Mother, when you come out, my son will serve you well when he becomes the throne in the future."

Queen Xiao laughed twice again, her voice lower than the beginning, "I'm going to die behind this Bogu mural today, I want to see how you lie about it? An unfaithful and unfilial person can Become the king of Jin?"

Li Zeyu also smiled softly, as if he was afraid of waking the sleeping baby, "Mother, you died behind, who would know? This secret room, even the father doesn't know about it?"

His words are so gentle, but his eyes are so cold, like the jade Ruyi inlaid on the Bogu murals, exuding a faint cold light, I hugged the gold-inlaid jade pillar, and the pillar made my whole body feel cold, but I couldn’t help but feel cold. Dare to let go, once you let go, you are afraid that you will slip down.

I looked at him, the curtains in the hall were drooping, and the shadows were radiant, casting a faint light on his face, he was still so handsome, his face was like a sculpture, his eyebrows were like distant mountains, but this was not Li Zeyu, he was a stranger , but wearing Li Zeyu's coat.

I remembered the unofficial history story that my senior brother told me. In the story, isn't there a **** or something?Yes, this person must have pretended to be him.

I should have rushed forward and unmasked his face.

But my legs are so weak that I can't even stand up. He is still him. I know in my heart that no matter how many excuses I have, I can't erase this layer.

The sound of Kaka came out of the Bogu murals again, but the sound disappeared after two rings. Queen Xiao coughed softly behind the door: "You reminded me that I was almost suffocated here, so it's best , you can’t come in, and I can’t get out of the palace..."

I saw clearly what Li Zeyu was holding between his two fingers. They were two silver needles... What is he going to do?
Before I could figure it out, I saw the silver light blowing up, and the silver needle flew straight towards the gap, and there were two jingling sounds from between the murals, like pearls and jade falling into a plate. After a long time, I heard Queen Xiao's voice A voice sounded from behind the mural: "Yu'er, you forgot that this move was taught by your mother."

Li Zeyu stood by the mural with his head bowed. He didn't make a sound for a long time. He moved, turned around and looked towards me, smiled, dimples still appeared on the corners of his mouth, "Yueya, don't be afraid, we will be safe of."

His smile made me tremble all over, I watched him walk towards me, and pulled me up with a smile, "Yueya, sit here first, I will definitely take you out."

As soon as I reached out, I slapped his hand away, "Who are you?"

He was stunned, looked at the hand that was hit by me for a while, and sighed lowly. Queen Xiao heard the voice outside, and laughed twice. For a person as dull as me, I could hear the ridicule from the middle It means, "Little girl, you are right, his surname is not Li, and he is not worthy of royal blood. We were all deceived by him."
