Long live Emperor Wu!

This reminder came at the right time, and Li Shan couldn't help but feel a heart attack.

He took a deep breath and said:
"You go down first."

The two chamberlains retreated together, leaving only the two of them in the room.

Li Shan said to Wu Rou angrily:

"If I were to think about it, I would rather depose her first and leave the post vacant than take her. Unfortunately, Changsun Wuji, Liu Shi, and Chu Suiliang would not agree."

He touched his forehead anxiously and said as if he had a headache:
"Did my father think back then that my uncle Changsun Wuji and Chu Suiliang would team up with the Liu Shi Wang family to force me?"

Before Wu Rou could speak, he said to himself again:

"No, this matter cannot be blamed on my father. If it were him, why would he put himself in this situation? My authority is too weak and people are riding on my neck."

Wu Rou reached out and touched his back, and gently moved down against his hair tie, as if to comfort him, and said softly:

"Meals must be eaten one bite at a time, and things must be done step by step. Didn't we make progress, so we used our own people for the four positions.

If this continues slowly, Changsun Wuji and the others will know that His Majesty is not easy to control, and they may change their mind, and things will naturally fall into place by then. "

She paused, then said:
"Today is the fifteenth. The Queen may be waiting for you, so go ahead."

After hearing this, Li Shan hesitated for a while with his eyes lowered, then finally made up his mind, stood up and walked out. Wu Rou got up and went to see him off.

Seeing that he was about to turn around the screen, she suddenly took two steps forward, hugged his waist, and leaned her face against his back.

Li Shan put his hand on her arm and said helplessly:

"It was you who let me go, and it was you who held me and refused to let me go."

Unexpectedly, Wu Rou said softly and quietly:
"Who said I won't let you go? I just always dreamed of being able to hold you from behind when you left. Unfortunately, I didn't have the right to do it at the time.

…Now that I can do it, I’m so happy. "

Her tone was lingering and pathos, and it sounded like she was truly happy and satisfied. Li Shan relaxed and let her hold her quietly, with a smile on his lips as he said:

"I will be coaxed to death by your sweet words."

Wu Rou then let go of him and said:

"Go on, don't be angry. Only by being happy can you live a long life."

Li Shan turned around and hugged her hard again, as if he wanted to draw the power of life from her, greedily and forcefully, then he let go of her, turned around and strode away.

……

……

Ganlu Temple.

Li Shan lay down on the dragon couch early, ready to sleep.

The bed curtains were lowered, blocking most of the light. Two palace maids keeping watch were kneeling at the foot of the bed, both with their heads lowered, like clay statues, motionless.

Suddenly, a servant outside sang: "The Queen is here."

When the two clay figurines at the foot of the bed heard this, they immediately stood up and turned to look outside the door, looking a little nervous.Turning sideways inward, Li Shan, who was lying on the bed, slowly opened his eyes and listened to the movement outside.

After a while, a soft sound of footsteps, accompanied by the rustle of clothes swinging, came from outside.

Queen Wang turned around the screen and saw the bed curtains closed without any surprise. She stood there and sneered. She glanced at San Chun Si Qiu standing at the foot of the bed, suddenly raised her eyebrows and asked;
"Why are you two still here? Wu Zhaoyi didn't ask you to go back?"

After she finished speaking, she took two steps to the right as if she had an epiphany and said:
"Oh, that's right... It would be better for you two to act as spies here with His Majesty. It would be inappropriate to go back."

Miharu was dissatisfied, but still polite and considerate on his face, he bowed and said:
"Your Majesty, your Majesty has already fallen asleep, and I was startled. Your Majesty had a decree before going to bed. If your Majesty comes, you should stay on the couch next to you."

After hearing this, Queen Wang looked at the bed curtain that had been put down and the vague figure in the curtain. She laughed twice and said:
"He fell asleep? Who believes that he can sleep peacefully without waiting for me to fall asleep first? Isn't that right, Your Majesty?"

Li Shan had been listening with his eyes open. At this time, he suddenly sat up and raised his hand to lift the bed curtain.

His loose black hair, loose white silk pajamas, and cold face made the Queen's heart stagnate, and her heartbeat slowed down by half a beat.

She couldn't remember the last time she hugged him or what it felt like to have him.

Sanchun and Siqiu hurriedly went forward and hung up the bed curtain, then knelt down on both sides of the bed, lowered their heads, and went to install the clay figurines.

Li Shan sat cross-legged on the bed, looked at her and said coldly:

"I just want to discuss something with you, Wang Qing. You and I are disgusted with each other. We can't treat each other as guests, so why torture each other.

Why don't you ask to be deposed and then go to Ganye Temple to become a monk? After two or three years, you can go out under a pseudonym.

As long as you don't mention things in the palace, no one will punish you. Then you can get married and have children normally, and live the life a normal woman should have. "

Queen Wang looked at him, loving and hating him, as much as she loved him, she hated him as much as she loved him. Listening to him say these words was like a knife on her heart.

Her calm demeanor suddenly collapsed, she exaggerated "haha" twice, shook her body and said excitedly:
"Your Majesty, how could you be so naive?! What do you think I wanted to marry for? Did I just want a man to be my companion?!

joke!Of course it’s the position of power that men bring!Since I can't get your favor, I should stay in the position of queen. How can I give up until I die of old age? !What are you thinking about? "

Her tone was so sarcastic, and even her face, which was as delicate and rich as a silver plate, had an extremely sarcastic expression.

Seeing her reaction, Li Shan's face gradually turned as dark as the bottom of a pot, and he stared at her coldly without saying a word.

Queen Wang didn't expect him to say anything. Whenever they were together, she would talk more and he would talk less, so she was used to it.

So she continued:

"Oh~~ I understand. Now that your Majesty has a lover, you finally get married. Do you think that everyone else cares about the word love?

Hahaha... If you boast about your love, will others think the same as you?
Have you ever thought that maybe you are the only one who is so naive? Your Wu Zhaoyi is actually the same as me. She only cares about your power, your status, and the honor you can give her, and does not care about you? "

After hearing this, Li Shan's heart suddenly thumped, and he turned his head sideways and lowered his eyes.

Seeing that he was obviously shaken, Queen Wang raised the corner of her mouth with a smile of victory and said:

"Women are all the same. In this world, women are not allowed to make contributions, so it is a woman's career to capture a man's heart and share his status and rights.

Wu Rou, why is this an exception?It's just that she has a way to charm His Majesty, but I don't. "

She narrowed her eyes slightly, stared at him, smiled through gritted teeth, and said maliciously on purpose:
"Oh... that's right. His Majesty likes the taste of taboo and immorality. As a queen who is being married to a matchmaker, naturally I don't have that charm."
