Yan Cheng left, and Emperor Mingde no longer had a smile on his face.
The King of Shoucheng takes compassion and kindness as his way. He didn't listen to these words at all!
When the queen arrived, she saw Emperor Mingde drinking alone.
She couldn't help but get angry: "I haven't looked at you for a few days, and now I'm drinking. Do you know that I'm in good health? It's really not worrying at all." After saying that, she turned to the palace servants, "Go.
Make some sobering soup."
After scolding, he had to deal with the consequences. The queen asked someone to twist the veil, wiped his face herself, and muttered: "You are so good, why do you drink so much wine? Even if there is something difficult, there is no need to waste your body.
!Why……"
Emperor Mingde, who was already half drunk, suddenly grabbed her wrist and called out: "Ayi."
He was an iron-blooded man who could come and go in the light of the sword and the shadow of the sword. The Queen hated to see him like this, and her heart immediately softened. She sat next to him and hugged him and coaxed softly: "Here, do you have a headache? Come and rest."
Just take a rest and drink the hangover soup later and you’ll be fine.”
Perhaps it was because of the intoxicating candlelight that Emperor Ming De looked at her soft silhouette and unconsciously said with some willfulness of his youth: "Don't sober up the soup, let them all go down. It's better for you to talk to me than anything else."
The queen couldn't help but blush and said angrily: "You are so old, what can you say?"
Having said that, she still asked the waiters to go down: "Are you comfortable now? What on earth deserves you to be like this? If you feel unhappy, just talk to me."
Emperor Mingde was silent for a moment, then took out something from the box next to him: "I was just picking things up, and when I saw this, it reminded me of some old things, and I couldn't help but have mixed feelings."
The queen took it and took a look and found that it was a piece of jade with a line of small words engraved on the inside. Upon closer inspection, it read: Willow by the River.
Emperor Mingde noticed her expression and carefully explained: "She gave this to me when we were discussing the marriage. I...I thought the marriage was inevitable, so I accepted it."
The queen was not angry, but she was a little uncomfortable thinking about her husband's past, so she sighed: "Didn't we talk about this? It's all over, I won't forget this old score."
After a pause, she added: "What's more, you are the victim, and Sister Liu is even more miserable. It can only be said that it is God's will."

Emperor Mingde responded softly: "I know you have the best intentions. This was my fault, but you have to bear the consequences. Ayi, I'm sorry for you, and I've wronged Xiaoer even more."
The queen knew what he was referring to and smiled helplessly: "It's said to be God's will. At that time, the Duke of Zhao was in a state of turmoil. How could you or I have thought that such a day would happen? Acheng was raised as his legitimate son. If this happened
If your son changes his ways, how should he deal with himself? You and I can't explain it to the world."
She was in a daze for a while, and then said: "I also feel sorry for Xiao Er, but I can't destroy Acheng. In any case, he is innocent."
Hearing what she said, Emperor Mingde felt deep sadness in his heart. He wanted to ask, what if he was not innocent? What if the good boy she thought was actually a disloyal person?
Emperor Mingde didn't know what the problem was for a moment. Was it because he didn't teach him well? Perhaps he shouldn't have made that decision at all, which is why he is in a dilemma today.
The queen came back to her senses and asked again: "Is this why you are in a bad mood? Thinking on the bright side, Aling is doing very well now. He has married the girl he likes and is about to have a lovely child. In my heart, as a mother, I can't think of anything else.
Nothing is more important than his happiness."
Emperor Mingde shook his head and wanted to say that the problem was not here, but he didn't know where to start. Yan Ling was the Queen's biological child, but Yan Cheng was also raised by the Queen. She had paid so much for him over the years. If she knew that Yan Cheng
How can you withstand the blow for what you have done?
But, it’s okay not to say it, things have reached this point...
"Ayi..." In the middle of his words, Emperor Mingde suddenly frowned and reached out to grab his collar.
The queen was startled and asked quickly: "What's wrong?"
Emperor Mingde wanted to say something, but it was too late. He took a pocket of his sleeve and spit out the medicine he drank at night.
He vomited for a while, and when he stopped, his eyes were already blurry.
The queen was so frightened that she hurriedly called out: "Come here, call the doctor!"
…
Emperor Mingde fell ill overnight.
When Xu Yin received the news, he was stunned for a moment: "Isn't His Majesty recuperating? Why did he suddenly fall ill?"
Xiao Sang replied: "It seems that the medicine was washed away by the drinking last night. We don't know the rest."
The emperor's physical condition was a secret, so naturally they couldn't find out the inside story. Xu Yin stood up and said, "Let's go visit the patient."
When she entered labor, her belly was very big, and the two girls were frightened.
Xiaoman couldn't help but said: "Princess, how about I go on your behalf?"
Xu Yin refused: "It's just a few steps, I walk every day, it's fine."
That's true, she walks every day, and the distance is not short.
So the group went to the Zichen Palace. The queen heard that Xu Yin was coming. As soon as she left the inner room, she saw her with a big belly and hurriedly greeted her: "Sit down quickly."
Xu Yin bowed steadily and then sat down: "Mom, I heard that my father is sick. I came over to take a look. Is it okay?"
The queen said: "It doesn't matter, it's all his own fault. He doesn't know how to take care of his body at his age, so it's okay to make him suffer."
Hearing this tone, Xu Yin smiled: "Thank you for your hard work, mother."
It was not easy to find someone to talk to, and the queen vented her bitterness to her, scolding Emperor Mingde for all his actions. From the time the injury recurred, she became eccentric.
Xu Yin listened and agreed, and the context of the incident gradually became clear in his heart.
While the two were talking, a report came from outside: "Mother, my uncle and his wife have something urgent to ask for."
The queen was stunned for a moment. Mrs. Dong has always known etiquette and would hand over a sign in advance when entering the palace. What kind of urgent matter requires a temporary visit?
"Please come in."
"yes."
After a while, Mrs. Dong arrived. But when she saw that her face was pale and her eyes were panicked, she rushed towards the queen and shed tears: "Sister, something happened, my husband is missing!"
The queen was startled and asked quickly: "What did you say? What do you mean you are gone? My brother..."
"He went out yesterday and didn't come back. I searched all over the capital and couldn't find anyone." Mrs. Dong was at a loss.
"Calm down and speak slowly," the queen held her down, "Where did my brother go yesterday? When did he disappear?"
Mrs. Dong replied timidly: "Yesterday he said he was going to the suburbs of Beijing to look at land. He left around noon and never came back. I sent out all the servants to look for him. The boss I made an appointment with said he didn't see anyone.
The restaurants and teahouses we went to were nowhere to be seen, people just disappeared out of thin air."
Seeing that she was about to cry again, Xu Yin asked in time: "Did my aunt report to the Jinwu Guards? Let them check first. If she leaves the city, there will be records."
Only then did Mrs. Dong realize that she had forgotten in her panic.
So the queen asked someone to send a message.
Xu Yin became suspicious. As far as she knew, Uncle Guo was investigating something, so why did he disappear at this critical moment?
