Pretty Fox: Misunderstood His Royal Highness

Chapter 722 Men Always Think Differently 2
The Queen murmured:

"In the past, His Majesty loved me very much. He said that I was smart and considerate. Back then, among the Zhu family, the Wu family, and me, he liked me the most, but my background was not as good as theirs. , so Mrs. Wu became the crown princess... After Wu's death, I gave birth to the eldest son of the emperor. At that time, His Majesty was still the crown prince. Regardless of everyone's opposition, he made me the crown princess..."

The queen's voice gradually lowered:

"Later, because of old age and sorrow, he didn't like me anymore. He liked Concubine Sun Hui, then Concubine Wu, and then Concubine Hu Huang... Now, it's my sister, Concubine Chen... Men, always see things differently, how can they only be the same for the rest of their lives? Love a woman?"

The queen sighed faintly.

She coughed a few more times, and her eyes fell on Zhu Qiqi's face: "...Oh, by the way, Qiqi, you and Luo'er have been married for more than two years, right? Except for one child, why have you been unable to conceive since then?"

"I..." Zhu Qiqi lowered his head and murmured, "I don't know why."

"Luo'er, he..." The Queen asked tentatively, "Does he have no complaints against you?"

"No. His Royal Highness didn't complain to me." Zhu Qiqi said hastily.

"Strange..." The Queen hesitated to speak.

Zhu Qiqi asked: "What's so strange?"

The queen said: "Think about it Qi Qi, don't say that Luo'er is the prince now, even an ordinary man is 22 years old and has never had a child of his own. According to the law, he is anxious or something, this is human nature But how could Luo'er ignore it? In the past, the third miss of the Ye family could leave him a son and a half, and now you can too. How could Luo'er not care? It seems unreasonable."

What the queen said, why not?
After talking so much, the queen seemed to have exhausted all her strength.She closed her eyes, gasped for breath, coughed again after a pause, coughed and coughed and spit out phlegm again.

A maidservant brought a bowl of boiled medicine: "Empress, the medicine is ready."

The queen looked at the potion and sighed. After a long, long time, she murmured: "No matter how good the medicine is, it can't cure my illness. Now, I'm just living."

The Queen is sick.

The queen's tears suddenly couldn't stop rolling down, like beads falling from a string, wet half of her face.After a while, the queen raised her head, holding her breath, and drank the medicinal soup mixed with tears.

　In the past, the queen's eyes were fierce and sharp, as if she could see through everything with one glance.But at this moment, the Queen's eyes no longer had the fighting spirit of the past, giving people a feeling of being in a trance, dazed, lost, unwilling, but helpless, and dejected, like a flower in the autumn frost, which is about to wither.

After taking a bowl of medicine, the queen looked even more tired.

After Zhu Qiqi sat for a while, he left.

Before leaving the Anfu Palace, Zhu Qiqi saw Nangong Yiwei and Princess Luoyang approaching from a distance. It seemed that they were also here to visit the queen.When they got Zhu Qiqi, they were taken aback for a moment, and looked at each other with guarded expressions on their faces, full of hostility like that.

After they approached, Zhu Qiqi smiled and said, "Nangong Consort, Princess Luoyang, are you here too?"

Nangong Yiwei and Princess Luoyang saluted her politely but indifferently: "I have seen the princess."
