Her Highness Doesn’t Want to Work Hard Anymore

Hua Manman squats by the window.

She heard footsteps outside getting closer, and it sounded like there should be quite a number of people.

If she and King Zhao don't leave, they will be discovered.

Once people find out, not only their plan of pretending to be ghosts to scare the queen will be ruined, but even King Zhao's fraudulent death will also be exposed.

Hua Manman was so anxious that she turned her head to look inside the house and found that King Zhao was still standing by the bed.

The queen was terrified in her heart, but she was still stubborn on the face.

"I didn't harm anyone, your death has nothing to do with me!"

Li Ji stretched out his pale but powerful hand, and grabbed the queen's neck.

He said grimly.

"If you kill, you will pay with your life."

The queen was terrified and confused, and she didn't even realize that the hand holding her was actually warm.

The door was knocked from outside.

The lady's voice came through the door.

"Empress, are you awake? Were you calling for someone just now?"

When the queen heard that someone was coming to help her, she immediately cheered up and opened her mouth to shout.

Helplessly, her neck was strangled tightly, and she couldn't make a sound at all.

The people outside the door didn't get a response, and immediately knocked on the door harder.

The door was smashed and banged.

It seemed that the door was about to be forcibly broken open.

Li Ji finally let go of the queen's neck.

He raised his hand to extinguish the candle, and quickly walked to the window.

Hua Manman has already opened the window.

Li Ji hugged her and jumped out of the window.

The two of them still didn't forget to close the window before disappearing into the vast night.

When the female officer broke in with the palace servants and guards, only the queen was left in the room.

They hastily lit candles.

Through the dim light of the candle, they saw the queen sitting slumped on the foot of the bed, her face was frighteningly pale, her body was trembling uncontrollably, and she kept repeating a sentence.

"It's not me, it's not me..."

The female officer immediately ordered someone to invite the imperial physician.

The "haunting" of Fengyi Hall soon reached the emperor's ears.

Even though the emperor and the empress had a estrangement now, after all, they were husband and wife for many years, and they still had some affection.

When he learned that something happened to the queen, he hurriedly put on his clothes and took a dragon chariot to the Hall of Fengyi.

When he felt Fengyi Hall, the imperial physician was treating the queen.

The imperial doctor said that the queen was overly frightened, and the problem was not serious, just take a good rest for a while.

The emperor asked with a frown when he saw the dazzling red pinch mark on the queen's neck.

"How did you get the scar on the queen's neck?"

Who dares to pinch the Queen's neck? !

Everyone shook their heads, expressing their ignorance.

The emperor can only ask the queen.

Probably because there are many living people in the house, the Queen has confidence in her heart.

She gradually calmed down, and finally realized something was wrong.

"It was King Zhao who hurt Bengong, he didn't die at all, he deliberately pretended to be a ghost to scare Bengong!"

The emperor felt that she was frightened and confused, and she started talking nonsense.

"Calm down, King Zhao is already dead, how could he pretend to be a ghost to scare you?!"

But the queen insisted: "It must be him! I just saw it with my own eyes. If you don't believe me, you can ask Chu Xia."

Chu Xia had already been woken up by someone.

She was brought before the emperor, knelt on the ground and said tremblingly.

"The servant did see King Zhao's ghost..."

The queen interrupted her: "It's not a ghost! There is no ghost in this world. King Zhao is definitely not dead!"

Chu Xia's heart trembled when she was stared at by the Queen's fierce eyes, she closed her mouth resentfully, not daring to say anything more.

The emperor also did not believe in ghosts in this world.

But Chu Xia said that she saw King Zhao's ghost, and there were indeed two bright red bloody handprints on the window.

Is King Zhao really not dead?

In order to find out the truth, the emperor immediately ordered.

"Wu Wang, take someone to the mourning hall of King Zhao."

"Here."

When Wu Wang hurried to the mourning hall with his people, Chen Wangbei was still guarding the door.

He was surprised to see so many people coming.

Wu Wang opened his mouth and asked, "Have you ever seen someone going in and out of the mourning hall?"

Chen Wangbei replied truthfully: "No, I have been staying here all the time, and I haven't seen anyone coming in or out from here."

Wu Wang asked again: "Where is the window?"

Chen Wangbei shook his head to express his ignorance.

Wu Wang pushed open the door of the mourning hall and led the people in.

The white candle on the incense table is still burning quietly, and the candle flame emits a faint light.

Lifting the white veil, you can see that the black coffin is still in place. The coffin is well covered and there is nothing unusual.

Wu Wang looked around: "Where is Princess Zhao?"

"Are you looking for me?" Hua Manman poked his head out from behind the coffin.

Wu Wang looked at her and immediately saluted.

Hua Manman put on his coat while walking towards them, his eyes half-opened, and he yawned softly, as if he was not awake.

Wu Wang asked seemingly unintentionally.

"Just now, the servants saw that the offerings on the incense table were less, did some mice steal them?"

Hua Manman said embarrassedly, "I am that mouse."

Wu Wang: "..."

He was speechless for a moment, and forcibly changed the subject.

He said, "The princess has been staying in the mourning hall tonight?"

Hua Manman nodded: "Yes, I sat for half the night, I couldn't take it anymore, so I leaned there and took a nap."

She said here and pointed to the back of the coffin.

Wu looked at Hua Manman obsessively, but found nothing unusual.

Hua Manman asked, "Why did you come here suddenly? Did something happen?"

Wu Wang: "It's nothing. The sage was worried, so he specially asked the servant to come over and take a look. Since everything is normal here, the servant left."

Hua Manman stood where he was, watching them go away.

When they were gone, Hua Manman closed the door and quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

She returned to the coffin, reached out and knocked on the lid of the coffin, leaning over and whispering.

"They're all gone."

The coffin lid was slowly pushed away, and Li Ji sat up from inside.

He hadn't eaten all day, and he ran around again at night, which consumed a lot of energy, so he was unavoidably hungry at this time.

She walked to the incense table, picked up a plate of pastries, and ate them slowly.

Hua Manman looked at him eagerly.

"Will the queen doubt us?"

Li Ji: "She will definitely be suspicious."

Hua Manman was worried: "Then what should I do?"

Li Ji: "Tomorrow the queen will come over in person to confirm that I am really dead. Before she comes over, you have to do something for me."

Hua Manman hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?"

Li Ji leaned over and whispered a few words in her ear.

After finishing speaking, he did not forget to kiss her on the ear.

Like a frightened rabbit, Hua Manman hurriedly hid back while covering her ears with her hands.

She stared at King Zhao with round eyes.

The dog man ate her tofu again!

Seeing this, Li Ji not only chuckled.

"If you feel that you have suffered a disadvantage, you can kiss me back."

After speaking, he deliberately put his lips in front of Hua Manman.

A look that you can pick and choose.
