Chapter 357
Being plotted against
"Although Wu Meiniang felt very sorry for her son, in the face of power and the throne, Wu Meiniang still chose power. She used means to frame her son. When her son died and was exiled, Wu Meiniang had already done it for herself.
When the emperor is ready, when she is the last
When her son was pulled down from the throne, she put on the dragon robe herself, sat on the dragon throne and became a female emperor." When Xiao Lizheng was immersed in what she said, she didn't notice the emperor and queen standing at the door.
, and did not notice that when he spoke of the female emperor, the emperor's expression immediately changed.
The queen, who had been standing beside the emperor, noticed that the emperor's expression had changed, and she was secretly happy. She knew that the emperor was now suspicious of Xiao Li, and her goal had been achieved.
"Crown Princess, the Emperor and I are here to see you." Now that she had achieved her goal, the Queen pretended not to know and called Xiao Li to let Xiao Li know that the Emperor was here.
"Father?" Xiao Li was a little surprised when he saw the emperor and queen at the door. He immediately stood up and greeted them, knelt down and paid his respects to the emperor and queen: "My son, please give your regards to your father and the queen."
The emperor didn't even look at Xiao Li and walked directly into the room in front of Xiao Li. This made Xiao Li, who was kneeling on the ground, a little puzzled. He didn't know where he had offended the emperor.
"Get up quickly." The queen pretended to help Xiao Li, "The emperor and I know that you must be very sad about your miscarriage, so they came to see you."
"Thank you, Father and Queen, for your concern. My son has gotten much better." Xiao Li said respectfully. He was still a little confused about the sudden visit of the Emperor and Queen.
"I saw that the Crown Princess was in good spirits today and could tell stories. It seems that the Queen and I came here in vain, and our concern was unnecessary." I was already suspicious of Xiao Ke's defeat, but I just heard Xiao Li say again.
The story of the empress made the emperor feel a little unhappy, and his words were also sarcastic.
"I'm scared." Xiao Li could naturally hear the unkindness in the emperor's tone. Although he didn't know why the emperor was angry, Xiao Li immediately knelt down and said, "It's great that my father and the queen can come to see me."
It’s an honor, I’m very grateful.”
"Humph." The emperor snorted coldly and stopped talking. The atmosphere at the scene was a bit awkward and dull.
"Now that I see that the Crown Princess is recovering well, I am relieved. You and the Crown Prince and Young Man will wait until you are well to support the Crown Prince and the royal family and have more children." The Queen smiled and said.
Round the field.
"Haotian is the Crown Prince, and the Crown Princess cannot be the only woman. Children are related to the lifeblood of the royal family. Queen, you, the mother of a country, cannot leave all the childbirth matters to the Crown Princess alone. Please help the Crown Prince pay attention.
You can help the prince take a few concubines. This can be regarded as helping the prince and the princess." The emperor suddenly said that he wanted to help the prince take concubines.
"This is my concubine's order." The Queen glanced at the Crown Princess and found that Xiao Li had lowered her head and said nothing, so she agreed with a smile.
It wasn't until the emperor and the queen left that Xiao Li breathed a sigh of relief. Xiao Li didn't know why the emperor treated her so unkindly today. When Huangfu Haotian came back in the evening, Xiao Li immediately told Huangfu Haotian what happened during the day.
"Have father and the queen been here? Father still wants the queen to help me take a concubine?" Huangfu Haotian asked Xiao Li in surprise.
Xiao Li nodded and said unhappily: "Yes, are you very happy? The Crown Princess will have a few more women."
"Where are you thinking?" Huangfu Haotian's expression at this time was full of doubts: "A few days ago, my father knew that you had a miscarriage, and he asked me to take care of you, care about you, and accompany you. My father was very good to you at that time.
,Why is my father so cold to you today?"
"How do you know? I was telling Qin Jian and Zi Ling about Wu Zetian's story when my father and the queen came. My father didn't even look at me when he came in, and he started talking coldly after that." Xiao Li was sulking.
"The story of Wu Zetian? The story of the empress? Didn't you tell it before? Why are you telling that story again today?" Huangfu Haotian asked curiously.
"It's that girl from Zi Ling. She said she didn't hear what I said that day clearly, so she pestered me and asked me to say it again today. I was fine anyway, so I told them. It was about Wu Zetian's ascension to the throne as emperor.
During that period, the emperor and the queen came." Xiao Li said about the situation at that time.
"Why is it such a coincidence?" Huangfu Haotian gradually became suspicious, "Why is it such a coincidence?"
The father and the queen will come today, and why is it such a coincidence that Ziling insists on asking you to tell the story of the queen today. Your sworn brother was defeated at the border, I wonder if it may be related to this matter."
The thoughtful Huangfu Haotian quickly connected the things together.
"What does the Queen's story have to do with Big Brother's defeat? Did the Emperor think that I wanted to be the Queen after hearing the story I told?" Xiao Li gradually thought of the doubts from Huangfu Haotian's suspicion.
"It's very possible that the Emperor will suddenly come to the Prince's Mansion today and happen to hear the story of the Queen you told. Maybe everything is a conspiracy and someone deliberately arranged it." Huangfu Haotian feels that this possibility is very high.
.
"Don't worry about this matter, I will go find out."
Xiao Li felt uncomfortable at first. She lost her child and was misunderstood by the emperor. Now she heard that the emperor asked the queen to choose another concubine for Huangfu Haotian, and she felt even more depressed.
Xiao Li walked aside silently without saying anything. Huangfu Haotian didn't know she had changed so quickly.
In the past few days, I have been looking for some theater troupes for her to make her happy, and tried every means to keep her from thinking about the child.
However, this incident has always been a pain in Xiao Li's heart, right?
Xiao Li walked silently towards the back room, her steps were lost, and her expression was in a trance.
"Ali!" Huangfu Haotian saw that she had taken several steps and ran forward quickly. Seeing that she didn't respond, he cleared his throat and called, "Crown Princess."
"Ah?" Xiao Li turned his head in confusion. Seeing Huangfu Haotian's concerned eyes, the determination in his heart was shaken in an instant.
"Ali, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable? Why do you look unhappy?"
"No, it's okay..." Xiao Li looked at Huangfu Haotian's anxious and concerned face and hesitated to speak.
"Ali, what are you thinking about?" Huangfu Haotian's tone softened, and Xiao Li lowered his head. "I just want you to be happier and live every day happily. I just want to be with you."
I will protect you by my side and give you support when you are hurt or uncomfortable. Ah Li, please trust me."
Huangfu Haotian's sincerity moved Xiao Li even more.
Just now she had been thinking whether she really didn't belong to this world.
The one person I wanted for the rest of my life couldn't get it here. There was no one-on-one relationship in this world, but a man who married a wife would be considered incompetent.
He wanted to live a quiet life, but he fell in love with a prince. The future emperor was destined to share his husband with three thousand harems.
Even the simple life of a family of three has been shattered. Without the child, my home seems incomplete.
Xiao Li would never have thought of this before. She has always been proud, for her status as the eldest lady, for her status as a top modern killer, and for herself to be successful in this world and obtain the title of the Great General Protecting the Country.
The emperor's appreciation.
At the same time, I also got a pair of parents who are very good to me.
But what about all this?
My brother is away on the march and fighting, and his fate is hanging on a thin line. His parents were peaceful and their relationship was stable, but it was broken because of Xiao Lianhua and Aunt Liu who came halfway. Besides, he always thought he had a good impression on the emperor.
But he was taken advantage of so casually, which made the emperor distrust him, and even asked the queen to choose a concubine for Huangfu Haotian.
All of this was like a giant god weighing down Xiao Li, unable to breathe.
Xiao Li always felt proud, as if she could be crushed at any time.
Maybe it's true that I don't belong to this world.
For a moment, Xiao Li even thought about leaving.
Leave here, leave this place that does not belong to you in the first place.
But Huangfu Haotian's words actually made her shaken.
This person is my lover and my husband.
How could I really give up and leave without leaving any trace?
Xiao Li didn't know if Huangfu Haotian's words were true or if they would be valid for the rest of her life, but she couldn't refuse deep down in her heart. She didn't know where the feeling of following closely regardless of the consequences came from.
And when Huangfu Haotian hugged her tightly in his arms, Xiao Li's shaken heart completely melted.
"Don't be sad. We still have a chance after losing our child. We will definitely have many, many children in the future." Huangfu Haotian comforted softly.
"Yes." Xiao Li nodded, her eyes moistening in Huangfu Haotian's arms.
"Tomorrow I will accompany you to Daming Temple to burn incense and pray for our children."
"Yes." Xiao Li couldn't hold back the tears in her eyes anymore.
Huangfu Haotian wiped the tears on her cheeks and coaxed her softly: "Don't think of leaving me because of the loss of a child. You know that in my heart, you are the most important. Children can be born again, but Ali, I only have you."
one."
Xiao Li burst into tears and hid in Huangfu Haotian's arms and cried quietly.
"And what my father said about marrying a concubine, I will definitely fight for it and prevent you from being wronged in any way."
"No, no need." Xiao Li quickly stopped him, "I know your identity. You are the future emperor. Even if you don't marry a concubine for me, you will not be able to avoid such a fate in the future. I can understand.
I don’t want to delay you because of me.”
"Ali..."
"I understand. As long as you have me in your heart, I will be satisfied." Xiao Li lay quietly on Huangfu Haotian's chest, listening to the strong heartbeat in his chest.
