Daughter of the royal palace

Chapter 199: A Husband and Wife (4)
The queen looked better after taking the medicine, and waved her hands, "Let them all go down."

Emperor Yuan Qing ordered coldly, "Everyone go out."

"Mo..." The queen panted heavily, tightly grasping Emperor Yuan Qing's hand, her phoenix eyes were stained with white mist.

"Let... let the second brother enter the palace, and... and Yushuang, let them enter the palace." Annoyance and anger flashed in her eyes.

"Luo'er, you?" Emperor Yuan Qing's heart tightened, did she even know?
"Yes, I know everything." She closed her eyes, let go of Yuan Qingdi's hand, her voice was as calm as water. "If it wasn't for Hanyan who just came back from Youzhou and told me about it, are you planning to never tell me?"

"I—" Emperor Yuan Qing was dumbfounded, how could he have forgotten, Han Yan must have known about it after going to Youzhou for a few months.

Prince An frowned, "Brother Huang, what happened?"

The queen shook her head, "You all go out."

Prince An hesitated for a while, and finally walked out with Bi Ying.

Only Emperor Yuan Qing and the Empress remained in the inner hall. Next to the green bronze tripod and red sandalwood incense table, the heater with cloisonné enamel flower and bird patterns was surrounded by heat. On the special copper candlestick carved with green luan and flying clouds, Heyang candles were burning. The embroidered patterns on the dark purple Danfeng Chaoyang brocade quilt shone against the light of the night pearl, and the moon-white cotton spun gauze curtain fluttered slightly in the cold night wind.The faint fragrance of magnolia and the strong smell of herbs permeated the air, and the atmosphere in the room was suddenly silent.

After a long time, Emperor Yuan Qing said: "I don't intend to tell you, I'm afraid you will get angry and hurt yourself." There was deep worry and helpless self-blame and hatred in his eyes.She was getting worse and worse, and he was really worried and afraid.

The queen looked at him, looked at the deep lines between his brows, it was tired, looked at his face for decades, but concealed the deep desolation in the deep and charming eyes of the years .Even so, there is still a fiery affection and unresolved love and pity in his eyes.Her heart suddenly felt like being pricked by a needle, first there was a shallow pain, and then the pain spread to Lily's limbs with the blood flow, the pain made her almost speechless.

She tried her best to restrain the tears in her heart that were about to fall because of the sorrow and sorrow, and tried to sit up.

"Be careful." Yuan Qingdi hastily and carefully helped her up, and leaned against her behind with a soot-purple flower cushion.

"How long can you keep this from me?" The queen had quiet eyes and leaned against his arms weakly. "They are getting more and more rampant."

"Luo'er, don't worry, I will take care of this matter."

"How do you deal with it?" Helplessness and bitterness appeared on the corner of the Queen's mouth, "I know, in fact, Tian Yun has done a lot of evil things these years, as long as you don't go too far, and you are jealous of me, so you always turn a blind eye. At first, I thought he was just a little arrogant and frivolous, but I didn't expect him to become more and more arrogant now. And the fifth brother, he is getting more and more confused now." The Queen said that she couldn't help but get angry, "Forget it, I have already given it to you. They have too many opportunities. Mo, don't be merciful this time. You are the emperor, and you have a heavy responsibility on your shoulders. You can't cause the people to resent me because of me, that's not what I want to see."

Emperor Yuan Qing's voice was hoarse and helpless, "I know, don't worry about it, and take care of yourself." There was deep pain in his eye sockets, and his voice trembled slightly imperceptibly.It's fear, it's worry, it's fear.Her body was getting worse day by day, and he was really afraid and panicked.

"En." The queen nodded with her eyes closed, "Let Second Brother and Yu Shuang enter the palace, I have something to tell them."

"Luo'er—" Emperor Yuan Qing was a little worried.

"It's okay." The queen smiled softly at him, "I'm sensible, don't worry."

Seeing her insistence, Emperor Yuan Qing didn't say much anymore, and just about to order the eunuch to announce the decree, Bi Ying walked in with a bow.

"Your Majesty, the prince is asking to see you."

Emperor Yuan Qing was taken aback, and the Queen's eyes moved slightly.

"Let him wait in the main hall."

Bi Ying was slightly surprised, and seeing that Emperor Yuan Qing didn't object, she went out in response.

Royal Villa
In the dark and quiet room, Prince Li, who was dressed in royal blue, dark purple and cloud-pattern brocade dress, looked gloomyly at Princess Li, who was embroidered with folded branches of flowers and fruit green satin round-neck straight jacket, and juan gauze and gold silk embroidered long skirt.His eyes were cold and heartless, and there was even a trace of murderous intent hidden in his eyes.

"The queen is seriously ill, now you are satisfied."

A sad and miserable smile flashed across Princess Li's eyes, but her expression was cold and arrogant.

"What, are you distressed?"

"You—" Prince Li's eyes suddenly froze into ice, the fingers on his side were clenched tightly, and strong anger radiated from his whole body.

Princess Li looked at him sarcastically, and said quietly: "The queen is seriously ill, so naturally the emperor will take care of her, why are you so fussy?"

Intense pain and sadness flashed across Prince Li's eyes, and he looked at the smiling woman in front of him with hatred.

"Don't forget, she is your sister. Are you not afraid of retribution for doing this?"

"Retribution? Hahahaha..." Princess Li laughed as if she heard some funny joke, "Ouyang Chen, don't say such high-sounding words anymore, it sounds hypocritical to me." She said contemptuously and self-deprecatingly: " Besides, will I be punished for what I have done?"

Prince Li took a step forward, and the coercive pressure around him made Prince Li and the concubine feel a little terrified.

"Do you think I don't know? That good nephew of yours has been bullying men and women all these years. He has committed all sorts of crimes. Luo Wenchong is no better than a merchant. Even if he can cover the sky in Youzhou with one hand, without the care of you, a good sister, over the years, How could he live so smoothly? Do you think Xiao Moli is really so stupid? If it weren't for empress scruples, how could your brother and sister be so rampant? That good nephew of yours should have died a million times long ago."

Princess Li raised her chin, "Yes, I was the one who secretly helped Third Brother and Tian Yun, so what? But who am I doing this for? Don't forget, how much Third Brother has provided to Wuyou City over the years? Economic and financial resources, without the support of the third brother, do you think Wuyou City can still be independent?"

Prince Li's face was as cold as snow, "I don't need it." He flicked his sleeves and looked at her coldly. "Yushuang, you underestimate your son. Do you really think that the economy provided by your third brother will bring much benefit to Wuyou City? Wuyou City is rich in products and fertile land, and does not need financial support from anyone at all. .”

"You—" Princess Li narrowed her eyes, feeling endless sadness in her heart.

"Yu Shuang." Prince Li's voice suddenly dropped, and the snow outside was so soft that his voice was strangely tinged with the gentleness of drizzle. "Admit it, in fact, you are not reconciled in your heart. You are not reconciled that the Queen is above you in everything, so you want to surpass her. The bet you made to Xiao Moli back then was not at all to defend Wuyou City. You are In order to satisfy your own selfishness. You want Chen'er to compete with Xiao Tingxuan, you want Chen'er to beat Xiao Tingxuan. You are suppressed by the queen everywhere, so Chen'er is your last hope. What you say is for me, in fact, you just put Chen'er is just a tool for you to prove that you are better than the queen. Do you know why Chen'er has been alienated and indifferent to you these years? It is because he knows in his heart that his mother did not regard him as a son at all, but as a A tool. His mother is a very competitive woman, and she can do whatever she can to achieve her goals, even using her own son."
