After hearing this, the emperor breathed a sigh of relief. Over the past few days, he had been very worried every day. He knew that the queen was in poor health but could not return to the capital. He was really anxious. This trip to the east had already been announced to the world. He

He had made many changes privately and tried to let the queen rest, but the queen's illness was still not getting better, which made him feel more and more depressed.【】

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

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

"Your Majesty, I am serving the Emperor's meal according to the order of the Queen Mother. If the Emperor does not use the meal, the Queen Mother will definitely blame me. Please use some, Your Majesty!" Concubine Xian's words were full of pleading.

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

The table was full of dishes, but the emperor did not touch it. Instead, he drank wine cup after cup. Yong Cong died young and the queen was seriously ill. The bad news that came one after another made the emperor very depressed these days. However, because of his eastward tour, he had to hide himself.

He was an emperor and could not show any signs of losing his composure in front of the civil and military officials and the people of the world. Perhaps he had suppressed his emotions for too long, and this wine just made him soothe his worries.

"Your Majesty, drinking too much wine is harmful to your health!" Concubine Xian's eyes flashed with a glint, and then she grabbed the wine bottle and advised her softly.

But the emperor pushed her away, picked up the jug, and drank the wine in one gulp.

"Wu Shulai, bring some wine..." the emperor shouted loudly to Wu Shulai who was standing by.

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

Concubine Xian nodded gently to Mu Yun behind her. Mu Yun understood and immediately asked the maid to bring wine.

"Your Majesty, the Emperor has drunk too much!" Wu Shulai said urgently.

"Wu Shulai, the emperor has been very depressed these days. Getting drunk can at least make the emperor forget his worries for a while!" Concubine Xian said as she helped the emperor fill up the wine.

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

After drinking another bottle of wine, the emperor became a little confused and kept shouting the queen's name.

Concubine Xian narrowed her eyes, glanced at Mu Yun, then stepped forward to help the emperor, and said softly: "Your Majesty, you are drunk, I will help you sit down for a while!"

Helping the emperor to sit on the couch, Concubine Xian leaned in the emperor's arms and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, you have worked hard these days. Can I please let the emperor sing a little tune to relieve his fatigue?"

The emperor had drunk too much and could not care about this. Seeing that the emperor did not answer, Concubine Xian had a sneer on her face, and Wu Shulai who was looking aside broke into a cold sweat.

"Get out!" Concubine Xian waved her hand.

"Empress, slave..." Wu Shulai hesitated.

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

"Yes, I resign!" Wu Shulai was helpless and had to retreat.

When he got outside, Wu Shulai always felt very uneasy. In addition, Mu Yun had already brought four stunning women selected by Concubine Xian that day. Wu Shulai suddenly lost his temper. After they went in, he called for a

A young eunuch whispered something in his ear and told him to go to the queen to find Wei Ning'er.

At this time, the queen had just stood up and drank the medicine from the imperial doctor. After Wei Ning'er and Princess He Jing helped the queen to sleep, Wei Ning'er heard Bing Ruo say that Wu Shulai had sent someone over, so she left the cabin.

"Your Majesty, Eunuch Wu asked your servant to tell you that Concubine Xian made the Emperor drunk and took people to the Emperor's royal boat for a night of feasting." The young eunuch whispered in Wei Ning'er's ear.

When Wei Ning'er heard this, her expression changed, and she suddenly had concerns in her heart.

Although he is on his way home now, the emperor missed the queen's health during this eastward tour, so he did not indulge in any indulgence except for the routine banquet with officials. In these days, he did not even visit the concubines in the harem, but today Concubine Xian is

Being so presumptuous is a taboo. If things get serious and damage the majesty of the emperor, the Queen Mother will probably punish her instead of protecting her.

Thinking of this, Wei Ning'er went in and whispered a few words in Princess He Jing's ear.

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

"Yes, Wu Shulai made the emperor drunk." Wei Ning'er nodded lightly.

At this moment, the sound of musical instruments, singing and frolics came from the royal boat connected end to end with the queen's phoenix boat.

The princess stood up and rushed out without saying a word. Wei Ning'er was afraid that she wouldn't be able to control her temper and would make things unmanageable, so she immediately followed her.

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

Although the queen was a little confused, the voices of the two people talking still reached her ears intermittently. After a while, she opened her eyes.

"Your Majesty, why are you awake?" Chu Xia's eyes were full of urgency. The imperial doctor ordered that the Madam should get more rest to get better.

"Well!" The queen sat up with Chu Xia's support, her face turned slightly pale: "Chu Xia, I just heard that Ning'er and Li Li were talking about drinking and having fun. Did something happen?"

"No, the concubine and the princess are hungry and are going to have a meal!" Chu Xia said with a smile.

"What's the noise outside? It's so noisy!" the queen asked feebly.

Chu Xia felt a chill in her heart, and then she said with a smile: "Madam, there is no sound. Madam, you are sick. Maybe you heard wrong!"

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

Listening to the sound of silk and bamboo and the sound of play coming from the royal boat in front, the queen felt a sense of desolation and sadness in her heart for no reason, and more importantly...disappointment.

"Empress, go back and rest!" Chu Xia advised softly.

"Yes!" The queen nodded lightly and was about to go back when she saw Bingruo running over in a hurry.

Just then, Bingruo saw that something was wrong, and at Wu Shulai's signal, he immediately ran back to find some palace maids. The eunuch who went to help did not expect to meet the queen, and immediately knelt down to say hello.

"What happened to make you so panicked?" the queen asked weakly.

Bing Ruo knew that she could not let the queen know about this matter, so she quickly reported: "Ms. Qi, nothing happened. This slave has just come back to serve you, the empress, at the request of the young master!"

"You all know how to deceive me. Get up and go to the boat!" The queen coughed violently several times after saying this.

"Your Majesty! Your body can't stand the torture anymore. It's better for you not to go!" Chu Xia hurriedly advised.

"Let's go. Although I'm ill now, I can't let anyone bully Lili and Ning'er!" the queen sighed.

"Yes!" Chu Xia didn't dare to say more, and she and Bing Ruo helped the queen to go to the boat.

Outside Yu Zhou's cabin, Concubine Xian was looking at Wei Ning'er and Princess He Jing with an indifferent expression, even with a smile on her face.

"Get out of my way, 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, I will help you!" Princess He Jing said, looking around a few times, and suddenly her eyes fell on the imperial guards guarding the edge of the royal boat. She took a few steps forward and took advantage of that 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 suddenly 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 sword in front of her, and her smile was full of irony.

At this moment, the laughter of the men and women in the cabin got louder, and Wei Ning'er's face became a little ugly. She took a deep breath, took the knife from the princess's hand, and handed it to the frightened guard beside her, looking at Concubine Xian smiled and said: "My Majesty, the Queen Mother is still ill, but you are taking the Emperor to drink and have fun in this royal boat, and even... play with women. If the Queen Mother knows about it, I am afraid it will not be good for you. What's more, the emperor is drunk and unconscious now. When the emperor wakes up, I'm afraid you, the empress... will not be able to absolve yourself of the blame!"

Concubine Xian's face turned ugly when she heard this. She was about to scold Wei Ning'er, but her eyes suddenly stared behind them. A hint of surprise suddenly appeared on her face, and she said happily: "May the Queen be blessed with peace of mind!"

"Empress!" Wei Ning'er turned around and was shocked when she saw the Queen walking over with the support of Chu Xia and Bing Ruo.

"Why are you here, Queen Mother? It's very windy outside. I'll take you back!" The princess was covered in cold sweat and thought to herself. She must not let Queen Mother see Huang Amma's current state, otherwise she would definitely be heartbroken. .

"Your Majesty, the imperial doctor said that you need to take good care of yourself. It's a little cold outside. Let me and the princess take you back!" Wei Ning'er was also worried, and then she stepped forward and said with a smile.

The queen turned a deaf ear to their advice. At this moment, her mind was unusually clear, and she felt that the laughter coming from the cabin of the royal boat was so harsh.

The queen pushed away Chu Xia and Bingruo who were supporting her, stepped forward, lifted the curtain and walked in. However, when she saw everything in front of her clearly, she was startled and then stumbled back.

Wei Ning'er and the princess rushed to help her. They saw that the queen was okay and finally breathed a sigh of relief. However, when Wei Ning'er saw inside, she was stunned.

In the cabin at this time, the lights were brightly lit and the smell of alcohol was overwhelming. A woman was playing the piano, but beside her was someone singing loudly. The other two women actually hugged the emperor and rolled on the couch, laughing. Although they were not He didn't do anything casual, but he was still naked, and his torn clothes and fabrics were left on the ground.

"Your Majesty..." The queen stared at everything in front of her blankly, tears falling violently.

Perhaps they didn't expect someone to break in, so the four women were a little startled. Except for the emperor who was still noisily drinking, there was no other sound around.

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