After running wildly all the way, Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaiyu finally caught up with Zhao Chen in front.
Zhao Chen sat in a pavilion and looked at the fish swimming in the water.
The foal chewed leaves nearby.
"Thank you for your hard work, I'm fine." Zhao Chen looked over with a smile on his face.
It seemed like nothing happened just now.
"Are you really okay?" Qin Huaiyu asked cautiously.
Just from Zhao Chen's face, he couldn't tell anything strange.
It was as if Zhao Chen had completely forgotten what happened before.
But this worried him even more.
"It's okay, I just forgot to say hello to the village chief. He was waiting for me to see those peppers." Zhao Chen smiled and said casually.
"I hope you're fine, but you scared me to death." Cheng Chumo patted his chest and smiled innocently.
After spending so many days together, he was really worried that Zhao Chen would question the emperor and empress directly.
No matter what the reason is, it will definitely be difficult for both sides.
At that time, there was really no room for going back.
"What's so scary? We are all not children. Can losing your temper change the outcome of things?" Zhao Chen threw a pebble into the water, and the fish in the water immediately panicked and scattered.
"and you……"
"Old Cheng, I'm hungry. You can catch some fish and let's grill them and eat them." Zhao Chen waved his hand, interrupting Cheng Chumo's words.
After running all the way, it was already past noon, and several of them were already hungry.
But I really didn’t have anything to eat.
"You wait here, Xiao Qin, let's go catch some fish." Cheng Chumo quickly agreed and pulled Qin Huaiyu down to the river below.
…
"Your Majesty, the situation is very bad. My wife's pulse is weak and her breathing is short. I'm afraid she might..."
"Cough cough cough——"
"Guanyin Maid, what's wrong with you!"
On the carriage, before Sun Simiao had finished speaking, he saw Empress Changsun coughing, and her teeth were stained red with blood.
Li Shimin was immediately stunned.
Why did you suddenly cough up blood today?
"The situation is critical. Your Majesty, please get out of the car and let me diagnose and treat the empress." Seeing this, Sun Simiao rushed Li Shimin out of the car.
Although Sun Simiao was rude, Li Shimin couldn't think about that much at the moment.
"Thank you, Divine Doctor Sun. Divine Doctor Sun will definitely cure Guanyin Maid..."
Before he finished speaking, Sun Simiao waved his hand to signal Li Shimin to get down quickly, but he had already put the medicine basket aside.
The carriage stopped, and Li Shimin stood aside with an extremely gloomy expression.
For him, today was not a good day at all.
Zhao Chen left angrily, and Empress Changsun was furious.
These two things made Li Shimin almost go berserk.
After turning around twice, Li Shimin saw Li Ruoshuang running towards this direction from the front.
"Your Majesty." Li Ruoshuang stopped in front of Li Shimin.
"Where's that kid?" Li Shimin frowned, but he saw Li Ruoshuang holding the crushed pastry in her hand.
"Zhao Chen has left, and I have asked Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaiyu to chase him..."
"What are you chasing after? Guanyin treats him like a son, why did he just leave without saying anything?"
"If you don't see it, then see it. Don't ever see it again." Li Shimin snatched the cake from Li Ruoshuang's hand and smashed it on the ground.
The look on his face was extremely annoyed.
Li Ruoshuang frowned and was about to speak when she was stopped by Hongfu Nu.
The two of them walked aside, leaving Li Shimin feeling extremely tormented.
"Girl, don't talk nonsense, this is their own business." Hongfu Nu ordered.
"But……"
"But what? The queen's anger has relapsed. It's very serious. If something goes wrong, your majesty will most likely go crazy. If you say anything again today and make your majesty hate Zhao Chen, you will be harming him." Hong Funu interrupted Li Ruoshuang.
How could Hong Funu not know the relationship between the emperor and the empress?
If something happened to the Queen, no one present today would be able to stay away from it.
If Li Ruoshuang talks about Zhao Chen again, will the emperor not be annoyed?
"Is that boy very angry?" Hong Fu asked.
"The pastries made by the queen herself were crushed into pieces." Li Ruoshuang nodded and looked at the pastries that were stepped on by the emperor.
"Well, although the queen treats Zhao Chen very well, she keeps lying to him. If it were me, I wouldn't be able to accept it."
"Zhao Chen didn't fall out with the queen in person, so he was sensible." Hongfunu sighed as she held Li Ruoshuang's hand.
"The queen..."
"I just vomited blood, this situation..." Hongfu Nu shook her head.
Looking at the situation just now, it may be difficult for Empress Changsun to get through this level.
…
"Brother, you are good at grilling fish, and you even carry pepper with you."
By the river, Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaiyu caught several fish.
At this moment, several people had already set up a bonfire. After removing the scales and internal organs, they hung the bonfire to barbecue.
After a while, the smell of fish slowly drifted away.
Cheng Chumo had already been rubbing his hands, waiting for Zhao Chen's order.
"The pepper was put in the horse bag, where Miss Ruoshuang should have put it." Zhao Chen explained, but he was a little worried about his actions just now, which scared Li Ruoshuang.
"Don't worry, my sister-in-law is fine. She asked us to take good care of you." Qin Huaiyu seemed to see Zhao Chen's worry and said with a smile.
"Brother, actually, you don't have to be so angry, His Majesty the Emperor doesn't have any bad intentions..."
"Oh? So, I still want to thank him for lying to me like this?" Zhao Chen sneered, shook the pepper in his hand, and sprinkled it on the back of the fish.
"I'm not……"
"Okay, let's eat the fish." Zhao Chen handed a fish to Cheng Chumo.
Cheng Chu silently took the fish and took a big bite.
"Is the queen okay?" Zhao Chen looked at Qin Huaiyu and asked.
"I don't know, they haven't come back when I took the horse." Qin Huaiyu was stunned for a moment and explained in a low voice.
But he had already heard that Zhao Chen, who used to be called aunt, was just talking about the queen.
"Oh, it should be fine. You can go back after eating the fish. Thank you for your hard work. You may have to walk back this way." Zhao Chen picked up a fish, said something, and sat with his back to the two of them.
Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaiyu looked at Zhao Chen's back and didn't know what to say for a moment.
…
"Your Majesty!" Sun Simiao got off the carriage and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"What's the matter? Is Guanyin maid okay?" Li Shimin saw Sun Simiao and hurried up to ask.
Hong Funu and Li Ruoshuang also came over quickly and looked at the carriage with worried eyes.
Sun Simiao shook his head, and Li Shimin immediately felt a chill running down his back.
"Your Majesty, your Majesty's situation is really not good. I'm not very skilled at it, so I can only extend my life a little."
"But at most, it only lasts five days." Sun Simiao looked at Li Shimin and said slowly.
Empress Changsun was already getting weaker and weaker.
Today, my mood has been ups and downs so much that it is inevitable that I will suffer from qi problems.
"At most - five days?" Li Shimin took a step back unconsciously, his eyes full of disbelief.
Hongfu Nu's expression also changed, secretly thinking that what happened today was a revelation.
I don’t know how many people will be punished by the emperor.?
