empress and princess

As if to prove the truth of this sentence, the medicine juice flowed out slowly along the corners of Qin Tangjing's lips, indicating that it was difficult to drink the medicine, and not a single drop entered.

Ami wiped it off quickly to prevent the medicine juice from dripping onto her neck, and looked at Chu Huaimin with embarrassing eyes.

"Let me come." After a long silence, Chu Huaimin opened his mouth, and took the medicine bowl in his hand.

"Then please leave it to Concubine Chu." Ami felt relieved, and stood aside to offer a suggestion, "Concubine Chu couldn't drink the medicine when she was in a coma last time, or...you can try feeding the medicine like the king?"

Chu Huaimin looked at her with cold eyes.Ami jumped and shut her mouth immediately, retreating to the front room outside the screen.

The person on the couch still had his eyes closed, his eyebrows were drawn in ink, his breathing was even, and he looked as peaceful as if he was asleep.Chu Huaimin stared at it for a long time before taking a spoonful and handing it to Qin Tangjing's lips.

He kept this posture for a while, but the man still didn't show face and didn't open his mouth.

Chu Huaimin was not in a hurry, put down the spoon and the medicine bowl, and went in from Jinbei to Qin Tangjing's wrist, carefully feeling the pulse.The next moment, she pressed her fingertips, and the person on the bed instinctively made a low 'hiss' sound, and finally an 'ah' burst through her throat.

"Easy! You murdered your own husband." Qin Tangjing turned over and stared at her, swinging his arms, he didn't look seriously injured or weak.

Chu Huaimin withdrew his hand to check the pulse, "Since you're awake, drink the medicine."

The bad idea failed and was caught at the gate of life instead. Qin Tangjing was so angry after taking the pain that he sat cross-legged on the edge of the bed and refused to take the medicine bowl.

"Don't drink." She turned her face away and began to lose her temper, "The lonely king has a chest pain and has no strength, unless you feed the lonely king."

Seeing that Chu Huaimin was sitting still and didn't intend to feed himself with his own hands, Qin Tang puffed up his face and thumped the bed, looking like a rascal, "The lonely king saved your life, and this is how you treat your savior?"

The kindness of a drop of water should be repaid by a spring, not to mention the kindness of saving a life.

King Qin had the cheek to open his mouth, but Chu Huaimin had no choice but to feed his benefactor medicine as promised.

"The female minister talked to me two days ago and persuaded me to stay away from Chu and return to Daqin." She told the truth when feeding the medicine.A spoonful of spoonfuls was safely delivered to Qin Tangjing's mouth, but when she delivered it at this moment, she pursed her lips.

"Oh. What else did the lady say?" After speaking, she opened her mouth to swallow the medicine juice, and when her teeth accidentally ground against the silver spoon, she made a sharp piercing sound.

"I didn't say anything, I was just worried that there would be a rift between you and the Queen Mother."

"The queen mother is only angry for a while, and it will disappear in a few days. How can there be a quarrel with the lonely king? I'm afraid that those people with ulterior motives behind them will take the opportunity to make trouble and secretly calculate." The words "people with ulterior motives" are quite serious. , Qin Tang became annoyed, narrowed his eyes, and grabbed Chu Huaimin's hand holding the silver spoon, "Chu Concubine, tell me, right?"

Putting his fingers together and gradually exerting force, Chu Huaimin's fingers were pinched and turned white in an instant.

"After all, the female minister is the prime minister. For the sake of Qin's stability, it is natural to be considerate and give advice to the courtiers." Bearing the pain, she remained calm and calm, and dutifully scooped up a spoonful of concoction to Qin Tangjing's mouth, "The king of Qin did this for me. , it's really not worth it."

Shi Li's hand almost exhausted all his strength, and Chu Huaimin's forehead was covered with cold sweat after a while.Seeing Qin Tangjing, he let go with a cold snort, opened his mouth and chewed bitterly with the spoon and the medicine.

"You don't need to use any aggressive tactics here, don't think that the lonely king doesn't know what you have in mind!"

"My daughter dare not. The King of Qin has always been superior to my ministers. Even if my ministers really have plans, they cannot escape the eyes of the King of Qin." This compliment was very well spoken, and the posture was extremely low.

"He who understands the current affairs is a hero." Qin Tang leaned forward and pinched Chu Huaimin's chin with his hand, "The woman is right. Only by submitting to the lonely king can you gain a foothold in the Great Qin. In Qin, you can only rely on the lonely king."

Chu Huaimin really knew the current affairs very well, so he nodded.

So the feeding continued——

However, the silver spoon was made of pure silver, and it couldn't stand a few chews, and it was already pitted and pitted. King Qin's teeth were really hard.

"Since Concubine Chu is willing to stay away from Chu and return to Daqin, then the lonely king will give you a chance to let you stay away completely." Qin Tangjing relaxed and leaned against the bed when the medicine bowl bottomed out, and said this sentence leisurely.

After coming out of Changxing Palace, Chu Huaimin was thinking about his own affairs, and he lost the idea of ​​walking around and went back home.

Unexpectedly, there was an accident on the way, the master and the servant heard the sound of beating and scolding coming from a distance, and Chen Hao first recognized that the person being beaten and scolded was an old friend, and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, that is... ...Mr. Wu."

That Manager Wu lost his former prestige, trembling and limping while working with a broom while being beaten, his legs trembled and couldn't straighten up and were forced to bend, obviously he had received a heavy punishment.

"You dog, hurry up and work, don't be lazy. I thought you were the chief executive showing off your power! It's cheap for you to betray the king and not kill you. See how much money you have collected by collaborating with the enemy and treason, a heartless dog thief It should be cut to pieces!"

The beating and scolding continued, and Director Wu was lured by money and paid a heavy price, and was tortured and lost his human form.

However, turning around in desperation, he saw a woman in white clothes far away, and he recognized who it was with just one glance. The sight was so familiar that he would never forget it in his whole life.

Manager Wu just stared at her while being beaten.

"Your Highness, it's time to go back to the palace." Chen Hao immediately blocked the resentful gaze and bowed.

"Ah."

"Your Highness, you don't need to sympathize with this kind of person." Passing by a place with few people, Chen Hao said in a low voice, "It's only natural to collect money from people to relieve disasters, and we don't owe him anything. If you want to blame him, you can blame him for not being able to do so. "

Chu Huaimin didn't speak, but looked up at the sky.

The sun was very good, but it couldn't see through the darkness in her eyes.

After today, the king of Qin no longer pretended to be unconscious, and within two days his body was already in good shape, and he was full of energy.

But ever since the "car cracking" happened, there was an unusual atmosphere in the palace, and the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs was not stupid, so he quickly discovered the clue by clues.That is the King of Qin and the Empress Dowager, who have not shown up at the same time for half a month!

It's absolutely not normal, it's confusing, it's very weird.

Everyone knows that King Qin and Empress Wei have one heart and one mind, and Empress Wei really wants to kill a woman, how can King Qin stop it.It happened that the demon concubine began to change, and the mother and daughter seemed to be engaged in a silent confrontation.So everyone speculated that the King of Qin wanted to separate from the Empress Dowager Wei for the sake of the concubine Chu.

The rumors were false and true, and the courtiers were blown up.

The King of Qin and the Queen of Wei are both figures in power in the Great Qin Dynasty. If there is really a need to decide who wins or loses, then they——

"Zhou'er, do you think that the king is extremely abnormal these days? Could it be that he has begun to doubt our Li family?" Doctor Li was worried after the court, and called his daughter who was also in court to the mansion for questioning.

"Our Li family has been loyal for generations, so it's not enough to be suspicious." Li Shizhou sipped this year's spring tea to appease him.

"Father is really uneasy. I'm afraid that if I take a wrong step, I will be wiped out. I'm afraid that it will be like the whole family of the Han family." Dr. Li stroked his gray beard and sighed.

"Then you have decided which side to help? The queen mother and the king must stand behind at least one of them."

The Li family is a stand-up faction, impartial and unbiased, and they are dedicated to serving the Great Qin. However, in the current court situation, the Li family has a high position and power, and is sandwiched between the Qin king's guards. They will never be alone, and will be involved in the upcoming storm sooner or later.

So Li Shizhou asked her father this outrageous question, Dr. Li pondered with a sullen face, stroked his beard and did not speak for a long time.

No matter who you choose, you have to pay the price.

"Father, plan ahead so that you can adapt accordingly." Li Shizhou said after a long time.

Dr. Li finally looked at her and asked, "Father knows, but what if our father and daughter have different political opinions and each is the master?"

"Very good. Whether King Qin wins or the Empress Dowager wins, at least there are people in the Li family to protect the Li family. My daughter thinks that different political opinions will not affect the Li family very much."

There are two kinds of results, Li Counselor has already calculated the worst outcome, and will definitely keep the glory of the Li family alive.

The counselor must count everything, any kind of accident is fatal.

Dr. Li frowned and was still thinking about it. After several cups of hot tea, he let out a sigh of relief, and then said in a low voice: "That's all, winning or losing is also their Qin family's country. Listen to the destiny. Dad thinks that the king is not a weak little eagle who has been sheltered. When he grows up, his wings are hardened. , it's time to retire to the harem."

Some time ago, the King of Qin led his army to exterminate Zhao and extended the territory for thousands of miles, and the king's prestige was greatly enhanced.Abandoning the Queen Mother to stand as the King of Qin is still wise and safe.

Li Shizhou then nodded, "Alright."

Therefore, it is up to Li's mansion to support whoever is in power, and that's it.

"Let's see what happens next." Doctor Li still sighed, and turned to ask what the old father cared most about, "Zhou'er, it's time for Daddy to talk about you now. When will your marriage be put on the agenda?"

"Not urgent."

"Why are you still in a hurry? If you procrastinate for a day, and if you procrastinate forty years, no one will marry you. After all, you are a prime minister. Wouldn't it be a joke if you don't get married?" Dr. Li had a headache.

"Jokes are jokes. After listening to them for decades, there is no need to listen to them for decades."

"Are you... do you want to never marry for the rest of your life?" Dr. Li immediately blew his beard and stared, "Father forbids it!"

Li Shizhou smiled, "Father, think about it. Looking at the entire Qin Kingdom, which man is willing to marry a daughter and be oppressed by his wife and prime minister for life."

Doctor Li choked, blowing his beard even higher.

"Haha!" At this moment, Lang Xiao came in from outside the door, and the person who came raised his head and chest, it was Qin Jiufeng who had closed the door for half a month and hadn't seen anyone, "The prime minister can't get married, so what if I marry him?"

Li Shizhou smiled lightly.Dr. Li's beard almost broke off, and he said in embarrassment, "The Ninth Prince really knows how to joke." How can a woman marry him? After coughing twice, he stood up and prepared to leave, "Talk, the old man still has things to do."

As soon as Dr. Li left, there were only two of them left in the hall.

"It's rare for you to come to the door in person." Li Shizhou invited Qin Jiufeng to take a seat, and poured tea and water, "Tell me, what's the matter?"

The tea is extremely good tea, but it's a pity that he didn't have such a good taste. Qin Jiufeng didn't taste tea and drank two big bowls directly. Then he said seriously: "There is a turmoil in the old part of Zhao State. I have to quell it and completely subdue Zhao State."

Li Shizhou disagreed, "It's not appropriate for you to leave the royal city at this critical moment."

"Aren't you still here? I know their mother and daughter well, and there can't be any conflicts." Qin Jiufeng stretched his waist comfortably after drinking two cups of tea, "I'm tired of staying here too. Fighting openly and secretly is exhausting, so it's better to kill on the battlefield." The enemy comes happily."

State affairs come first, selfishness comes second.Li Shizhou was very rational, so he had no choice but to say: "Forget it, come back early."

"If this king can't come back, remember to collect the body for me."

"Okay, after collecting the corpse, I will engrave such a sentence on your tombstone by the way." The man, especially the Ninth Prince Li Shizhou, is very good at it, and said every word with a smile, "Qin Jiufeng's tomb of Li's wife."

Qin Jiufeng immediately stared, and said in a vicious voice, "You have a good idea! This king will not die, let you daydream."

"That's fine, come back alive and let me daydream." Li Shizhou smiled at her.

The two have been dissatisfied with each other since they were young, and they have been fighting against each other all the way, and they still don't like each other after half their lives.

Even if it is not pleasing to the eye, it has a place in my heart.

Qin Jiufeng came to the Li Mansion just to inform Li Shizhou that she was due to go out in two days.

After the notification was over and the person was sent out, Li Shizhou was still smiling when he left, and said softly to Qin Jiufeng's back: "Qin Jiufeng, don't forget that I can't get married, wait for you to marry."

People have gone far away, and I don't know if I heard them or not.

"Then, let's go to the next life." Qin Jiufeng responded the moment he walked out of the mansion, but unfortunately no one behind him heard it.
