A cold dream is not a dream come true

If I become the emperor, would you like to be the queen?

Su Zimo's strange remarks reached my ears again, I was so angry that I shook off her hand, hid aside and shouted: "My lord, don't tease me anymore! I have been divorced by Prince Xi now, Master Shizi still wants to make fun of me to embarrass me even more?"

"I, I didn't tease you..." Su Zimo scratched her head in embarrassment. She didn't expect that I would think she was joking, so she immediately changed her serious expression and said, "I sincerely hope that you will be me Queen's."

What a joke, Su Zimo actually invited me to be the queen.I smiled wryly to myself, and I don't know if Su Zimo really likes me, or if he just sees me being dumped by Prince Xi and feels sorry for me.But I can't say too much. If I ask more carefully, maybe some useless things will be involved. It's better to perfunctory her now and put this matter aside for the time being. Anyway, the chance of Su Zimo becoming emperor is also high. The most important thing right now is to figure out the purpose of Prince Xi's return to Luoyang.

I took a closer look at Su Zimo's expression and found that she wasn't joking at all, so my heart softened again.What kind of medicine is sold in this Su Zimo gourd? Does she really like me?I shook my head and laughed at my narcissistic thoughts. I, Meng Chuhan, am just a commoner with a low status. How could I attract so many people's attention?Besides, Su Zimo is an arrogant and domineering strange woman with such a strange and arrogant personality, how could she like someone like me?

I took a deep breath and prepared to perfunctory Su Zimo, but when I saw Su Zimo's expression, the hurtful words changed when they came to my mouth: "If... Your Excellency becomes the emperor, I will consider... ..."

Su Zimo's eyes shone strangely when he heard this, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised, showing an expression of "I am the uncle".

I regretted it as soon as I said it, but I can't take it back when I say it.All I can do is to quickly add: "But..."

As soon as "but" was uttered, Su Zimo's expression darkened suddenly, and my heart tightened with a "thump", and I felt a little heartache.But in order to prevent unnecessary troubles for myself in the future, I can only bite the bullet and say: "...these things have to wait until we find...Prince Luoxi...if she really has something to hide..."

Before I finished speaking, Su Zimo suddenly laughed, patted my shoulder and said, "Hey, you don't take it seriously, do you? Look at your expression, hahahaha, you don't really think I want to Let you be the queen? Hahaha!"

I was taken aback by Su Zimo's sudden laughter. How can this person change his face when he changes his face?I was flushed with anger by Su Zimo's words, but I was kind enough to worry about her mood, I never thought she was playing tricks on me!I put Prince Xi's blue padded jacket on my body, sat down on the bench next to me like a village woman, and glared at Su Zimo.

Su Zimo ignored my emotions, but suddenly changed his expression, shook his head and said, "Even if you really want to be a queen, I can't be an emperor..."

I was a little angry at first, but when I heard this, I suddenly thought of the conversation between Prince Xi and Su Zimo that night. I left without finishing listening that night. Maybe I can now ask from Su Zimo why Prince Xi left alone. reason.

I tentatively asked, "My lord, do you really not know the reason why Prince Xi left?"

When Su Zimo heard my question, he didn't dare to look at me in evasive eyes: "Why, why did you get around to this question again?"

As soon as I saw her reaction, I knew that there must be something hidden in it, so I immediately got up and grabbed Su Zimo and said, "My lord, if you tell me, I will reconsider being your queen..."

Su Zimo immediately became interested when he heard what I said, and pretended not to be interested in me, and said to me: "Ben, I told you this because I saw your pity. Don't get carried away!"

I suppressed a smile and nodded: "What the son taught is true!"

The sun has risen high, and the west gate of Puchakqi Town has already been opened, and the passers-by of the Great Southern Kingdom look at us in Pingyang costumes next to the bench in surprise.It seems that it is not suitable to stay here for a long time, so Su Zimo and I went all the way back to the residence without a word.

After breakfast, I came to Su Zimo's room.At this time, she was sitting on a chair and playing with her long sword. When she saw me coming in, she immediately got up and locked the door, making the atmosphere of the room mysterious.

"What does Master Shizi want to do?" I said helplessly.

"Qi Gu didn't want me to tell you, but I think you are really pitiful, so I will tell you a little bit, so as not to..."

"Prince Luoxi didn't want you to tell me?" I asked with a frown. It seems that she really has a lot of things to hide from me.

Su Zimo said helplessly: "Yes, Aunt Qi didn't want me to tell you the matter, she ordered me to keep you. You just need to wait here for her, and she will come back after finishing these matters."

Hearing these words, the scene of last night appeared before my eyes again, and I suppressed my tears so that I would not let myself cry out.That's what she said last night, but what should I do without telling the truth?

Su Zimo picked up the teacup and fell into memory: "This matter is a long story, where should I start?"

I thought for a while and said, "Let's start with our escape from the palace..."

"Alright." Su Zimo put down his teacup and began to talk slowly.

It turned out that after Prince Xi and I fled Luoyang overnight, the housekeeper Su Cui, servant Su Tang and others immediately returned to their hometown. Chu Qingwu was homeless, so he went to Prince Cheng's Mansion to live temporarily.Three days later, the empress came to Prince Xi's mansion in person, but found that the building was empty.Originally, the Empress accepted Meng Di as Concubine Li, she was in a good mood, and wanted to pardon Prince Xi's crimes, but we didn't know that we absconded in fear of the crime, which really made the Empress furious, and ordered us to be arrested.The officers and soldiers of Luoyang chased all the way south to Jinhe Town, and met us in Hongxiangyuan, but were stabbed horizontally by Yunxin, the prince of Dongzhu.The Empress originally wanted to continue her arrest, but was dissuaded by Concubine Li's words.The Empress doted on and loved Concubine Li so much that she no longer pursued the matter.

There was an epidemic in Chang'an in April, after the empress received the memorial, she wanted to immediately send an imperial physician to Chang'an for treatment, but was stopped by Concubine Li.Concubine Li said: Prince Xi is currently in Chang'an, why not let her experience the epidemic and experience some hardships?When the empress heard this, she felt that the words were quite reasonable, so she did not dispatch the imperial physician in time.A few days later, the empress felt that it was inappropriate to allow the epidemic in Chang'an to develop without dispatching an imperial physician, so she ordered Wu Zheng and others to go to Chang'an City.When Wu Zheng arrived in Chang'an City, he met me who was on the verge of despair.Immediately we discussed the use of medication, and the entire city of Chang'an was cured.

Then we left the border of Pingyang Kingdom, and the empress did not continue to pursue us.

Besides, Chu Qingwu, who temporarily lived in Prince Cheng's mansion, received several letters from Prince Su Yu, and she imitated Prince Cheng's handwriting to reply a few letters.But the crown prince and Prince Cheng had been friends for many years, and Chu Qingwu's handwriting immediately made the crown prince suspicious.The prince questioned Chu Qingwu's identity many times in the letter. Chu Qingwu could only lie and say that his arm was slightly injured, and these letters were all written by someone else.

In August of the fifth year of Yong'an, the Xinfan began to invade Pingyang, and the long-planned war broke out overnight.Muhai City was the first to be attacked. The soldiers' combat effectiveness was reduced due to the construction of the canal, and they were occupied by Xinfan within two days.Princess Murong Ranshu of the Rihe Kingdom disappeared mysteriously at night, and the prince fled back to Luoyang in a fit of anger.

At this time, the empress was having fun with Concubine Li in the palace, when she suddenly received the news that Muhai City had fallen, she felt a "buzz", and her eyes were completely dark.After seeing the empress, the prince hurried to Prince Cheng's mansion, but when he got the news that Prince Cheng had died in battle, he knelt alone in the courtyard of Prince Cheng's mansion, laughing "hehe" all night.

The new Tibetans in the West invaded aggressively, but the female emperor couldn't afford to fall ill.Concubine Li stayed by the empress's side all day long, but it didn't help.The prince suffers from stupid disease and lives in Prince Cheng's mansion, but Chu Qingwu takes care of him every day, but there is no improvement.

Having said this, Su Zimo picked up his teacup and moistened his throat.I sat on the sidelines and listened dumbfounded. In just half a year, such a big change happened in Luoyang City.

"But..." I shook my head and asked, "It's just these things, there's no need for Prince Xi to hide them from me, why did you leave alone?"

Su Zimo put down his teacup and said, "I haven't talked about the important things. These things involve Concubine Li."

"Yeah?"

"Yes." Su Zimo said, "Concubine Li's real name is Meng Di and she was born in Mengzhou, but she never mentioned to anyone that you are her sister. I also guessed it from Murong Ranshu's last words."

"What, Princess Murong is dead?" I asked

Su Zimo nodded: "Yes, Murong Ranshu was executed by Concubine Li. After the empress became seriously ill, Concubine Li began to listen to the government behind the curtain. The first thing she did was to find Murong Ranshu and send her All the bad things I have done have been found out. Murong Ranshu instigated Prince Cheng to fight Goryeo and was killed by Zhang Xiong. This time the Xinfan invaded Muhai City was also hindered by Murong Ranshu. Concubine Li sentenced her to the crime of colluding with foreign thieves , immediately asked to beheaded."

"But...Princess Murong is not from Pingyang Kingdom..." I asked in disbelief.Even if dimple really stepped up to the position of listening to the government behind the curtain, she couldn't be so cruel.

"I don't know, there is always a feeling that Concubine Li is killing people." Su Zimo smiled, "Murong Ranshu yelled at the execution ground before she died: 'You despicable woman, I didn't expect me to do things for you In exchange for such a result, your biological sister is now a member of the Su family, and she will be killed by your own hands sooner or later!"

I frowned, trying not to spit it out.It's just that I haven't seen her for a year, but dimple has become so vicious.I didn't answer, and signaled Su Zimo to continue talking.

"Then Concubine Li sent my father to the border of Muhai City and ordered him to guard the other cities. Prince Kang stayed in Luoyang because of his poor health."

I shook my head when I heard this, "Because of this, Prince Xi left me and returned to Luoyang alone?"

"No." Su Zimo smiled bitterly, "There is one more important thing. Concubine Li serves the empress all day long, and no one else is allowed to get close to her. The imperial physicians also know that Concubine Li knows medical skills, so they don't ask any more questions. But the concubine Li The emperor's body is still getting worse every day. A woman in her forties, no matter how old she is, she will not be so vulnerable. Prince Kang secretly found the imperial physician Wu Zheng to clarify the situation. , came to the dormitory to check the pulse, but found that the empress was bedridden because of taking a poison for a long time."

"What?" I opened my eyes wide and looked at Su Zimo in disbelief.If someone poisoned him, the most suspected person would be dimple.No wonder Prince Xi wants to leave Dill's poison spectrum, it seems that this matter really has something to do with her.

"Prince Kang told me about this, and asked me to bring Qigu back to Luoyang quickly, get rid of Concubine Li, and regain power." Su Zimo sneered.

Concubine Li listened to the government behind the curtain, ruthless and ruthless. It seems that Prince Xi's return to Luoyang this time is really a disaster.But Concubine Li is my younger sister, how can I bear to watch the woman I love get rid of my biological sister?But there are many things that I can't figure out. Why did Dian Er want to kill the Empress and destroy the Su family?I lived with her for 14 years, but I know very little about her thinking.I am such a failed sister.

"Qigu originally wanted me to hide it from you, but since you asked me, I will tell you." Su Zimo showed a proud expression, "But you must not go back to Luoyang, I am in charge of guarding Yours, just be honest..."

"I've decided!" I interrupted Su Zimo and stood up abruptly, "I'm going back to Luoyang now."

"Hey!" Su Zimo slapped the table, pointed at me and shouted, "Did you listen to me? I told you that you can't go back to Luoyang! Are you deaf?"

I knew that Su Zimo was a woman who was soft but not tough, so I immediately showed a flattering expression and said, "My lord, don't be angry. You see that Luoyang is in such a mess now, do you have the heart to watch Prince Xi fight alone? Besides, Prince Xi is not the material to be an emperor. How can we just watch Concubine Li snatch the Su family's throne? My son, you are young, promising, knowledgeable, and must be a wise ruler to rule the world. Why not do it? ?”

When Su Zimo heard what I said, he immediately smiled, his eyes sparkled, and he grabbed my hand and asked, "You... really think so?"

I thought to myself, how do I know if you can become emperor.But in order to persuade Su Zimo, I can only pretend to be very sincere, nodded and said: "Yes, you must be a wise king."

Su Zimo shook off my hand and said with a big smile, "Okay, go back to Luoyang and leave tomorrow!"

I also echoed with a smile.I thought: Prince Xi, I will not let you fight alone.
