Dong Gong Mei

Chapter 515
Zhao Xiwei made up his mind, so he raised his eyebrows and smiled at the queen mother: "The queen mother wants her granddaughter-in-law to drink, and the granddaughter-in-law naturally wants to drink, but the wine has just spilled a lot, so I have to trouble Eunuch Chang to pour another glass!"

What's so hard about this?
The queen mother couldn't wait to see a big play, so she didn't think much about it, and just told Chang Ying: "Go, fill it up for the princess herself!"

Eunuch Chang was pinched more than a dozen times by the Queen Mother. With such an order, he was like a savior. He hurriedly pulled out his hand, held the jug himself, poured a full glass of wine, and presented it to Zhao Xiwei. His voice was drawn out, Said: "Crown Princess, please—"

"Thank you, Eunuch Chang." Seeing Zhao Xi raised his arm slightly, the Empress Dowager looked delighted.

After she drinks it, there will be a good show!

The emperor's eyes were fixed, and he raised his palm, as if he couldn't bear it: "Crown Princess, this wine—"

"What's wrong with the emperor?" The queen mother frowned.

The emperor came back to his senses, and lowered his palm again: "It's okay, it's okay, I'm okay." After saying three times in a row, it's okay, his eyes dimmed.

Zhao Xiwei's heart skipped a beat.

She didn't know if it was her illusion, but she always felt that the emperor's strange reaction was tinged with weirdness, and there was a bit of compassion in the weirdness, and a bit of fear in the compassion.

How to describe it?
Zhao Xiwei recalled the incident of catching hares when he was a child.

The hares all hide in the grass nests in the mountains and forests, surrounded by thorns, and sometimes there are even snakes and insects.

Every time she sneaked close to the grass nest, she was always on tenterhooks, for fear that what would appear in front of her was a nest of snakes or a bunch of caterpillars.

But no matter how worried and nervous she was, she still had to peel off the thick thatch.

Because her mother was ill again, she had to catch a few wild rabbits and sell them for money—only after selling the money could she get medicine for her mother.

Now, the emperor's complicated emotions are like her at that time.

And she is the little rabbit in the grass nest.

The emperor's outstretched and lowered hand is an attitude of wanting to give up and hold on.

When the queen mother raised her eyelids, her face darkened.

The emperor's temperament is really unbearable.

Indecisive, soft ears, all these years, if it wasn't for her help, would she be able to stabilize the country?

You were in the palace just now, weren't you still very anxious?Didn't he act vigorously when searching the jug?
Why do you want to go back on your word after being talked about by a little girl?
That won't work!

The queen mother snorted coldly, her eyes sharpened immediately.

She had waited a long time for such a day, and she just wanted to see the Zhao family and the emperor turn against each other!
How could it be possible for the emperor to take back his order!
"Is the emperor distressed?" The queen mother smiled sarcastically, raised the corners of her purple lips, and said slowly: "Did the emperor forget how painful the queen was when she gave birth?"

"I haven't forgotten!" The emperor's fingers trembled, and he raised his eyes suddenly: "When the empress gave birth, she was in pain for two days and two nights, how could I forget!"

"Yeah, two days and two nights! The imperial doctor is helpless!" The queen mother took his words with a smile, "I remember that there were hundreds of imperial doctors at that time, but no one diagnosed what was going on with the queen—" After finishing speaking, her eyes fell On the pot of wine, his voice turned cold, "Don't you want to know the truth, Your Majesty?"

The emperor was startled, and subconsciously covered his heart with his palm.

Cao De was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he hurried forward to hold his elbow: "Your Majesty, don't be in a hurry, please don't be in a hurry..."

No one understands better than him that the emperor suffers from pain in the heart and mouth, and if the queen mother is so irritated, if it flares up...

He was so shocked that cold sweat broke out all over his body, and he only rubbed the back of the emperor's vest while comforting him softly: "Your Majesty, don't think too much, although this wine was given to the empress by Mrs. It may not be that there is really something tricky about it. Besides, the queen regarded Mrs. Shen as a real sister back then, even if the two had a rift later, there is still some old friendship..."

"Oh?" The Empress Dowager heard that these words meant to excuse the Zhao family, she was not happy immediately, she added fuel to the fire, provoking the emperor and said: "If this wine is really not tricky, why did the empress suddenly suffer from abdominal pain after the banquet? Why don't the Crown Princess and Prime Minister Zhao dare to drink?"

"This..." Cao De lacked confidence.

To be honest, all the parties involved have passed away, so what happened back then depends on what the emperor thinks?
But when the emperor encountered the empress, he couldn't calm down.Coupled with the hesitant attitude of the Zhao family, it is hard not to make people doubt...

Zhao Xiwei looked at Zhao Ziyi.

Seeing that his eyebrows were slightly wrinkled, his expression was serious, and he didn't intend to express his opinion at all, so he squeezed the palm of his hand.

Don't say that the emperor didn't trust Zhao Ziyi, even she didn't dare to believe it too much.

However, if he said that he harmed the queen just to be with Shen Yuqing, she still didn't believe it.

It's not that he believes that he is kind, but... Shen Yuqing is not so important to him.

If his feelings were really so deep, how could he have let Shen Yuqing live in the countryside for so many years, while he married a wife and had children and made steady progress?

Obviously, compared to the love between men and women, Zhao Ziyi cares more about fame and fortune.

Then a person who cares about fame and fortune is even less likely to take this risk for a relationship-there is no impenetrable wall in the world, and framing the queen is a serious crime.

Now the emperor has doubts, if it continues, it will not only harm the Zhao family, but also her.

So, today is a must drink...

"Your Majesty!" Zhao Xiwei was stunned, and suddenly said: "Is this wine really given to the Empress by my mother? Is there anyone to prove it?"

She wants to drink, but she will never do something that jumps into a trap on her own initiative.

"Hmm." Compared to Zhao Ziyi's silence, the emperor was much more frank, and told her in all detail: "It was given by your mother. This wine is called Chang'an Moon, and it is the secret brew of the Shen family..." He explained again patiently , "The queen is not an ordinary concubine, and her daily life and diet are all recorded by a special person."

After saying a few words, he coughed again, "Cough..."

The few servants accompanying her were so frightened that their legs went limp: "Your Majesty..."

"Take out the Danshen Yangxin Pills!" Cao De took care of the emperor all the year round, and had already cultivated his composure in the face of danger. "Your Majesty just coughed, so what's the rush!"

Zhao Xiwei fell into silence.

Since it's the Shen family's wine, must the Shen family have done something wrong?If someone records it, there must be no mistakes?

But the emperor was at the most emotionally unstable time, unable to withstand any stimulation.Not only could she not raise this question, but she had to cover it up well.

Because if it is tracked down like this, everyone in the queen's palace may be the murderer... But there are at least a thousand people who have served the queen. No one can afford such a bloody storm.

Perhaps it was with this in mind that the emperor chose the least costly and gentlest way - to give wine to the Zhao Mansion.

It seems that she can only risk herself once...
