After hearing this, the emperor breathed a sigh of relief. These days, he has been very worried every day. Knowing that the queen is not in good health but cannot return to Beijing, he is really anxious. This trip to the east has already been announced to the world. He He has changed a lot without permission, trying to let the queen rest, but the queen's illness is still not getting better, which makes him feel more and more depressed. 【 】

"Your Majesty, I heard that you haven't had dinner yet, and I have already ordered people to prepare food and drinks. Please move me!" Concubine Xian respectfully said.

"No need!" The emperor shook his head lightly.

"Your Majesty, the concubine serves the emperor's meal according to the order of the empress dowager. If the emperor does not use the meal, the empress dowager will definitely blame the concubine. Please use some of the concubine!" Concubine Xian's words were full of pleadings.

The emperor turned his head and saw her looking at him with concern, couldn't bear to brush off her kindness, and nodded immediately.

The table was full of dishes, but the emperor didn't move, but drank a cup of wine. Yong Cong died young, the empress was seriously ill, and the successive bad news made the emperor very depressed these days. He is the emperor, he must not lose his composure in front of civil and military officials and all the people in the world, maybe he has suppressed it for too long, this wine just makes him relieve his worries.

"Your Majesty, drinking too much wine will hurt your health!" Concubine Xian's eyes lit up, she grabbed the jug and persuaded softly.

The emperor pushed her away, picked up the jug, and drank the wine inside.

"Wu Shulai, bring the wine..." the emperor shouted to Wu Shulai who was beside Hou.

"Your Majesty!" Wu Shulai was sweating profusely. The Emperor had already drunk too much, and if he drank any more, he would get drunk.

Concubine Xian nodded slightly to Mu Yun who was behind her, Mu Yun comprehended and immediately asked the little maid to bring wine.

"Young lady, the emperor has drunk too much!" Wu Shulai said anxiously.

"Wu Shulai, the emperor has been very depressed these days. It's good to get drunk, at least it can make the emperor forget his troubles for a while!" Concubine Xian helped the emperor fill up the wine while talking.

Wu Shulai wanted to say something, but because of the presence of Concubine Xian, he had to swallow it.

After another jug ​​of wine was poured down, the emperor lost his mind and kept calling the queen's name.

Concubine Xian squinted her eyes, glanced at Mu Yun lightly, then stepped forward to help the emperor up, and said softly: "Your Majesty, you are drunk, my concubine can help you sit for a while!"

Supporting the emperor to sit on the couch, Concubine Xian leaned into the emperor's arms and smiled: "Your majesty, you have worked hard these days, how about my concubine asking someone to sing a little twist to the emperor to relieve my fatigue?"

The emperor already drank too much, so he didn't care about these things. Seeing that the emperor didn't answer, Concubine Xian showed a sneer on her face, and Wu Shulai was breaking out in a cold sweat while watching.

"Go out!" Concubine Xian waved her hand.

"Mother, slave..." Wu Shulai hesitated.

"Huh?" Concubine Xian raised her head and looked at him, her eyes full of warning.

"Yes, the slave is resigning!" Wu Shulai also had no choice but to resign.

When he was outside, Wu Shulai always felt very uneasy, and now that Mu Yun had brought the four stunning women selected by Concubine Xian Xian that day, Wu Shulai suddenly lost his composure. A young eunuch whispered a few words in his ear, telling him to go to the queen to find Wei Ning'er.

At this time, the queen had just got up and drank the imperial physician's medicine. After Wei Ning'er and Princess Hejing waited for the queen to sleep, Wei Ning'er heard Bingruo said that Wu Shulai had sent someone over, so she left the cabin.

"Your Majesty, Eunuch Wu asked the servants to tell you that Concubine Xian got the emperor drunk and brought people to the emperor's royal boat for a night banquet." The little eunuch whispered in Wei Ning'er's ear.

Wei Ning'er's expression changed when she heard the words, and she suddenly became concerned.

Although he is now on his way home, the emperor missed the empress's body during this east tour, so he never indulged except for routine banquets with officials. Being so presumptuous is a taboo. If something happens and damages the majesty of the emperor, the empress dowager will probably punish her instead of protecting her.

Thinking of this, Wei Ning'er went in and whispered something in Princess Hejing's ear.

"What did you say? She actually sent the stunning woman to Huang Ama's royal boat?" Princess He Jing shouted in disbelief.

"Yes, Wu Shu said, she got the emperor drunk." Wei Ning'er nodded lightly.

At this moment, the sound of piano, singing and playing came from the imperial boat connected end to end with the queen's phoenix boat.

Without another word, the princess stood up and rushed out. Wei Ning'er was afraid that she would lose her temper and make the matter unmanageable, so she followed immediately.

"Chu Xia, take good care of the empress!" After Wei Ning'er finished speaking, she had already walked away.

Although the queen was a little confused, the voices of the two people's conversation still reached her ears intermittently, and after a while, she opened her eyes.

"Your Majesty, why are you awake!" Chu Xia's eyes were full of anxiety, as the imperial doctor ordered her to get better by resting more.

"En!" The queen sat up with Chu Xia's support, her face turned pale slightly: "Chu Xia, I just heard Ning'er and Li Li talk about drinking and having fun, what happened?"

"No, the concubine and the princess are hungry, let's go eat!" Chu Xia smiled bravely.

"What's the noise outside? It's so loud!" the queen asked weakly.

Chu Xia's heart shuddered, and then he smiled and said: "Your Majesty, there is no sound. Your Majesty, you are sick, maybe you heard it wrong!"

"Impossible... I'm just sick, but not confused!" The queen said and asked Chu Xia to put on her shoes, and with Chu Xia's support, she got out of the cabin.

Listening to the sound of silk and bamboo and the sound of playfulness from the imperial boat in front, the queen felt desolate and sad for no reason, and more of it was...disappointed.

"Niang Niang, go back and rest!" Chu Xia persuaded softly.

"En!" The queen nodded slightly, and was about to go back, but she saw Bingruo hurriedly running over.

Just now, Bing Ruo saw that the situation was not right, and under Wu Shulai's signal, he immediately ran back to find some maids and eunuchs to help. He never expected to meet the queen, so he immediately knelt down to pay his respects.

"What happened, so panic?" The queen asked weakly.

Bingruo knew that the empress should not know about this matter, so she hurriedly said: "I want to report to the empress, nothing happened, the slave servant came back to serve you, the empress, as ordered by the young master!"

"All of you will deceive me, get up and go to the boat!" The queen coughed a few times when she said this.

"Your Majesty! Your body can't bear the torment, so you should not go!" Chu Xia hurriedly persuaded.

"Let's go, even though Bengong is ill, Lili and Ning'er cannot be bullied!" the queen sighed.

"Yes!" Chu Xia didn't dare to say any more, and together with Bing Ruo helped the queen go to Yu Zhou.

Outside Yuzhou's cabin, Concubine Xian was looking at Wei Ning'er and Princess Hejing calmly, even with a smile on her face.

"Get out of the way for this princess!" Princess He Jing shouted again.

Concubine Xian did not move at all, and the servants behind her were also indifferent.

"Okay, since you dog slaves are looking for death, this princess will help you!" After finishing speaking with Princess He Jing, she glanced left and right, and her eyes suddenly fell on the imperial guard guarding the edge of the imperial boat. While the guard was still in a daze, he pulled out the long knife from his waist and walked over quickly.

"Get out of the way!" The princess sharply raised the long knife in her hand, pointed at Concubine Xian and shouted.

"Is the princess going to kill the king?" Concubine Xian seemed to have never seen the long knife in front of her eyes, and her smile was full of sarcasm.

At this moment, the laughter of the men and women in the cabin grew louder, and Wei Ning'er's expression turned ugly. She took a deep breath, snatched the knife from the princess's hand, and handed it to the terrified guard at the side, watching Concubine Xian said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager is still ill, but you, Your Majesty, are taking the emperor to drink and have fun in this imperial boat, and even... to play with girls. If the Empress Dowager finds out, I'm afraid it will not be good for you, Empress Dowager." , not to mention that the emperor is now drunk and unconscious, when the emperor wakes up, you, empress... I'm afraid you will have to bear the blame!"

Concubine Xian's face was very ugly when she heard the words, and she was about to scold Wei Ning'er, but her eyes stared at the back of them suddenly, a hint of surprise appeared on her face, and she said, "May the empress be blessed and safe!"

"Your Majesty!" Wei Ning'er turned her head, and was shocked when she saw the Empress walking over with the support of Chu Xia and Bing Ruo.

"Emperor mother, why are you here? It's windy outside, and my son will take you back!" The princess broke out in cold sweat, and said in her heart, she must not let the emperor's mother see Huang Ama's current appearance, otherwise she will be heartbroken .

"Your Majesty, the imperial doctor said that you need to take good care of yourself. It's getting cold outside. The concubine and the princess will take you home!" Wei Ning'er was also worried, and then she took a step forward and said with a smile.

The empress turned a deaf ear to their advice, she was very sane at the moment, only felt that the laughter coming from the cabin of the imperial boat was so ear-piercing.

The queen pushed aside Chu Xia and Bing Ruo who were supporting her, stepped forward and lifted the curtain and walked in, but when she saw everything in front of her, she was taken aback for a moment, and then staggered back.

Wei Ning'er and the princess rushed up to support her, they finally breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that the queen was fine, but when Wei Ning'er saw the inside, they froze suddenly.

At this time, in the cabin, the lights were brightly lit and the smell of alcohol was overwhelming. A woman was playing the piano, while another was singing beside her. He didn't do the messy thing, but he was naked, and the torn clothes and cloth fell on the ground.

"Your majesty..." The queen stared blankly at everything in front of her, tears streaming down her face.

Perhaps it was unexpected that someone would come in, the four women were all a little dazed, except for the emperor who was still arguing about drinking, there was no other sound around.

"Come... drink... drink...."

Wei Ning'er looked at the heartbroken queen, her heart ached and she was sore, she couldn't help but took a step forward, pulled the two women who were hugging the emperor up, and shouted: "You guys still want to get out of here?"
