Long live Emperor Wu!

He raised his eyes, glanced at the two concubines, and said sincerely;

"You know my temper. I don't like to argue or get angry. But our quarrels have alerted the guards several times. They thought I was in danger."

Concubine Wei and Concubine Yan De looked at each other with shock in their eyes.

From their point of view, this is unimaginable.

After a while, Concubine Wei sighed and said:

"Since Your Majesty understands everything in his heart, and after weighing it, he feels that this must be the case, then I also support you. I will say hello to Shen'er after I return."

When Wu Rou heard this, she was very happy and said:

"I know that the two concubines are the best. If possible, I hope that the two concubines can speak for us more among the royal nobles. When the time comes, don't let the opposition voice be too loud."

Concubine Yan De said happily:

"Since I'm supporting you, I'll naturally help you find out what's going on and say some nice things."

Concubine Wei also said:

"Looking back, if we find out everyone's opinions, we will tell you so that you can make preparations in advance."

When Emperor Li Shan heard this, he smiled gratefully, bowed slightly, and said "Thank you" again.

……

……

The Queen's Anren Hall, morning.

The princes routinely stood in front of the Queen to greet her and listen to her instructions.

Queen Wang looked at the two children standing in front of her, her adopted son Li Zhong, and Wu Rou's child Li Hong.

Li Hong is just three years old this year. He looks 70% like Li Shan, but his lip shape is very similar to Wu Rou, and his peaceful eyebrows and eyes add some intensity and enthusiasm.

The queen glanced at the prince Li Zhong next to her. He was ten years old now and had an ordinary appearance.

Seeing that he had his head lowered, not even daring to raise it. He was wearing the prince's dragon uniform, but he was not as generous as a three-year-old child. She felt anxious and angry, and she became even more angry.

"Where did you learn today's homework?" she asked coldly.

Prince Li Zhong shook his head and replied in a low voice:

"Learned... Chapter 6 of Mencius."

When the queen heard this, she frowned and said angrily:

"I asked you the day before yesterday. This is the article. Three days later, is it still this article? Where have your thoughts gone? How many times have I told you that you are the prince and work harder than any other child? You have to be smart, otherwise, sooner or later someone will take away the position of prince.

What will happen if you can't keep your position as crown prince? ! "

Prince Li Zhong's hands shook as he bowed, and he whispered back:

"Will...will die."

"It's good that you know! Why don't you hurry up and go to class!"

"Yes." The prince responded, turned around, lowered his head, and walked away in a hurry, as if running away.

Li Hong was left standing there, looking at Queen Wang with a pair of bright eyes, without saying a word.

Queen Wang looked at him for a while, feeling a little sad.

If it were her own child, maybe he would be as cute and intelligent as Li Hong.

It's a pity...I'm afraid I won't be able to do it in this life.

Her eyes dimmed, she waved to Li Hong, and said with a forced smile:

"Hong'er, come to your mother."

The nurse who was following Li Hong was so frightened that her eyelids jumped. She almost raised her hand to stop him, but she shrank back and held back. Li Hong took two steps forward obediently, still looking at her with his eyes, seemingly curious.

Queen Wang asked him:

"What have you been doing lately?"

"...eat, vomit after eating, eat again after vomiting." Li Hong thought for a while and said.

Queen Wang's face darkened instantly. She knew that Wu Rou was pregnant again, already four or five months old.

But no matter how many times she heard it, she still felt sad.

Li Hong suddenly asked:

"Mother, why are you unhappy every day?"

This was really a bit ironic when asked in person. Everyone in the palace was shocked for a moment. Li Hong’s wet nurse quickly explained respectfully:

"Queen, the little prince is not sensible. He has been asking questions lately. He asks about everything and has no other meaning."

Queen Wang raised her eyes and looked at Li Hong. The muscles under her lips were showing out of hatred and grievance, but the child still looked at her with clear and curious eyes.

She knew that the child had no other intentions, so she said angrily:

"I need you to explain later?!"

The wet nurse quickly silenced her voice and stopped talking.

Queen Wang calmed down her emotions again, took a piece of pastry to him from the pastry plate next to her, and asked:

"Have your father and your mother-in-law said anything about me? Please tell your mother."

Seeing this, the wet nurse was so anxious that she quickly said:

"Mother, the little prince was born prematurely. He is weak and cannot eat cold food. I have given you many instructions from the Imperial Hospital."

When Queen Wang heard this, her hand holding the pastries froze for a moment, as if she wanted to take it back, but soon she noticed the wet nurse's nervousness, so she sneered at him and said:

"Are you afraid that I'll poison you?"

"I don't dare." The wet nurse quickly knelt down to apologize, and added: "It's true, the little prince is weak and always has diarrhea when eating cold things, so he can't eat."

"Damn slave! How dare you contradict me like this?! Someone, slap me!" Queen Wang ordered coldly.

Li Hong looked around, quickly stretched out his young hands, snatched the cake from Queen Wang's hand, and said:

"Father said that my mother will not harm me."

Queen Wang's eyes suddenly lit up. She was very happy and forgot about punishing the wet nurse. She quickly looked into Xiao Li Hong's eyes and asked happily:

"Is it true? Did your father really say that?"

Li Hong nodded firmly and said firmly:

"Well, he said that the Queen Mother is afraid of death. In order to avoid suspicion, I am probably safer here than elsewhere."

After hearing this, the smile on Queen Wang's face gradually stiffened, full of disappointment, and her eyes dimmed, as if her soul had flown out sadly. After a moment of silence.

She deliberately moved closer to Li Hong, almost touching the child's eyes, and said viciously:

"He's wrong. This pastry is poisonous. I just want you to die. Do you know what death means?"

But Li Hong was not afraid. He looked at her quietly for a while, with kindness and compassion shining in his eyes. He directly stuffed the pastry into his mouth and took a gentle bite.

Queen Wang was stunned. She looked at the child's clear and clean eyes, stepped back in disbelief, then sneered and said:

"You look smart, even though I told you it's poisonous, why are you still eating it?"

Three-year-old Li Hong, with bright eyes that seemed to penetrate people's hearts, said obediently:

"I know my mother likes me, she's just unhappy."

Queen Wang was stunned for a long time.

She looked at him, and at that moment, her heart felt like something was disintegrating, turning into turbulent water, slowly overflowing from her heart and rising to her eyes.

God knows how much she likes children and how much she wants a child of her own. After a long time, even looking at other people's children, she has a bit of fantasy, always feeling that it is like her own child.

But no one knows this. But a three-year-old child saw through it.
