Tyrant, your vest fell off

Chapter 491 – Think I’m an Exception
"Sometimes I have some doubts, whether Zhao Qingmei is the illegitimate daughter of the emperor, and her father is the real husband of the emperor."

Zhong Liyao was depressed and drinking by herself, her mother loved Zhao Qingmei a lot when she was a child, she spent more time playing with Zhao Qingmei than she spent with her own daughter.

The reason why she loathes Zhao Qingmei so much is actually partly because of this reason. Zhao Qingmei, as a courtier, almost snatched all the attention and maternal love from the Queen Mother, how could she not hate or complain?
She didn't dare to hate her mother, so she could only place all her anger on Zhao Qingmei.

"And you, if you weren't Zhao Qingmei's man, how wonderful it would be"

She raised the wine bottle and said to herself to the portrait in front of her. The man in the painting was dressed in a black Confucian robe, handsome and elegant, with striking silver hair lining his skin like snow. mortal.

In Dongyuan, Zhong Liyin panicked as he looked at the carefully prepared dolls, delicate cradle beds, and small clothes made of Sichuan brocade.

Although he wasn't born by himself, that child was still his daughter in name. All children born in Zhao Qingmei's backyard should respectfully call him father, and he is the legitimate father.

"How is the prime minister, has the mood stabilized?"

"She has locked herself in the study since yesterday, even the master refused to see her."

"Have the food sent in been eaten normally?"

"My subordinates don't know, but just now someone saw Sikong's steward carrying a food box into the study."

"Oh."

With Sikong Que by Qingmei's side, he will definitely not watch Qingmei trample on him.

In the study room, the prime minister, who had experienced the pain of a white-haired man sending a black-haired man, was currently enjoying his husband's feeding with his legs crossed and his mouth open.

"Well"

Passing a cup of fruit pulp to his mouth, with just one look and a word of yell, Sikong Que will be ready to understand what Zhao Qingmei wants to express. This is the tacit understanding between husband and wife.

"I've been busy singing big plays these days, so I didn't go to my father's place. How is father?"

"It's still the same, with stagnation in the five internal organs, and the anger in my heart is hard to get rid of."

Sikong Que peeked at Zhao Qingmei, seeing that she was still indifferent, so he could only keep silent about Zhao's father.

"Master, Your Majesty has returned to the prime minister's residence in a humble manner."

For the Empress's frequent visits to the Prime Minister's Mansion in secret, Zhao Xi and other servants who knew about it were not surprised. The smile on Zhao Qingmei's face froze instantly. She wanted to thank guests behind closed doors, but she was not qualified to do so.

"If you are not looking for the truth, you don't need to report."

"Year of the Crane, is today better?"

Empress Zhong Liyue was dressed in sky-blue regular clothes, her face was slightly weak and pale, and she stepped into Father Zhao's room with ease.

"Ah Yue, why are you here again?"

Father Zhao rallied and sat up, looked at the frail woman and said angrily, but there was a clear smile on his brows and eyes.

"I'm afraid that this crippled body of mine will be seen less often. Don't dislike me. I can't control myself."

"Ahem, cough, what does it smell like? I wanted to ask you the few times I came here a few times ago. It smells very uncomfortable to me."

The queen covered her mouth and nose, and coughed softly. She never liked incense, but because of her illness, she has always been incensed in the past few years. She loves what he loves, so she gradually likes to use various incense. kinds of spices.

"This is the thousand-year-old agarwood sent by Xiaoyin. I like it very much, and I have been reluctant to use it. I have a severe headache these days, so I am willing to take out some of it. You are really ignorant!"

"This kid has a heart. I will order someone to give him some rewards later."

"cough cough"

"Ah Yue, I'm afraid I won't be able to survive the summer. What I worry about most is my daughter. You must not treat her harshly."

The empress grumbled aggrievedly, and immediately took Father Zhao's hand and rubbed it in her palm.

"Over the years, I have almost treated her as my own. I almost handed over Ran Qu's throne to her. What else do you want me to do? Just say it, and I will do it."

"Who wants your broken chair? I'm talking about your daughter Zhong Liyao. She has always been hostile to Qingmei. If she becomes the empress, my Zhao family will be wiped out."

Father Zhao fumbled in his sleeve for a long time, and took out a small and exquisite gold medal.

"The gold medal for avoiding death cannot be passed on to future generations, but I want to give this gold medal to my daughter today, okay?"

"Come here, send this death-preventing gold medal to Xiyuan to Prime Minister Zhao, and say that it was given to her by the emperor."

"promise."

The user's name and taboo are engraved on the back of each imperial bestowed gold medal. Without the approval of the empress, it must not be handed over to others for use, otherwise it will be regarded as a crime of deceiving the emperor.

"Marry me, you and I are both dying, I'm afraid I won't be able to wait until the day when you put on your wedding dress for me."

The queen knelt down on one knee, and she could not count the number of times Henian proposed to marry her. Seeing Zhao's father biting his lip bitterly and shaking his head uncontrollably, she tremblingly got up and sat on the side of the bed.

"I promised Zhao Kerou that if she can help you ascend to the throne of God, I will marry her and become her husband. She has never treated me harshly. I am the only man in the back house. I can't let her down."

"Are you blaming me for pampering them?"

Those were just substitutes that she thought he was empathizing with, so she found a substitute. Ever since she knew his affection for her, she has not brought new people into the palace for many years, and she has never even favored the men who are already in the palace.

"You miss everything about her, and you reject me for her."

"What about me? What am I? Back then you lied to me that your heart belonged and forced me to marry Bei Mingchen. I had no intention of taking the throne. You forced me to sit on this dragon chair step by step. Did you ask me if I would?"

Zhao's father, Lu Henian, was silent. If Zhong Liyue hadn't taken the supreme position back then, if her imperial sister, King Xiang, had been on the throne, how could she have been let go?
And Zhong Liyue's father, in order to prevent him from marrying Zhong Liyue, even at the cost of his own life, caused a rift between him and Zhong Liyue, and almost turned against each other.

"Do you want to know what you are?"

Lu Henian put Zhong Liyue's palm on his beating chest, and looked at this woman who loved her so much but couldn't love her.

"You are my life. If I didn't want you to be alone in a world without me, I would have long ago not wanted to suffer from this pain. I take more medicine than I eat every day. Over the years, I have almost used medicine as a meal. Eat, just to see you more."

"I know, I know it all."

Her Majesty the Empress was a little annoyed that her indiscriminate words had angered her beloved, so she couldn't help but softly comforted her. "

"After I leave, you don't have to be too sad. Ran Qu has always been rainy and sunny, so I will turn into wind and rain and accompany you. Whenever there is a gentle wind and light rain, it means that I stand by your side and accompany you. .”
