"Mingyue, follow me to Fenghou Palace." Meng Li said to the female official next to him.
Mingyue nodded and ordered people to prepare a sedan chair and drive them away.
By the time Meng Li got on the sedan chair and was driven towards the Fenghou Palace, it was already dark. Mingyue followed quickly. When they arrived at the Fenghou Palace, the waiter at the door saw Meng Li and saluted him.
Meng Li got off the sedan chair and said:
"Get flat."
She walked towards the inner hall, and Zhang Ningyun ran out from inside, her eyes panicked and unfamiliar, and she bit her lips tightly without speaking.
Meng Li walked towards Zhang Ningyun and saw that Zhang Ningyun was only five years old now. He was a small person, wearing a small gown, and looked soft and cute.
Meng Li said with a smile:
"Isn't this my princess?"
Zhang Ningjun stepped back and looked at Meng Li warily.
The attendant who followed Zhang Ningyun came out behind. She leaned over and saluted:
"His Majesty."
Meng Li hummed, and she quickly said to Zhang Ningyun:
"Your Majesty, please give your regards quickly."
Zhang Ningjun pouted her mouth and remained motionless.
Meng Li said with a smile:
"It doesn't matter."
"My Ningyun is still young."
A five-year-old body hides an adult soul. What he does now is just to rely on his young age.
"What are you doing here?" Zhang Ningyun couldn't help but ask.
The attendants beside her looked panicked, "Hey, my little master, Empress Feng is not in good health now, and the concubine should be more careful in her words and deeds."
How can you still address Your Majesty like this
She couldn't help but push Zhang Ningyun's hand quietly with her hand.
The hands in Zhang Ningjun's sleeves were squeezed tightly before relaxing.
"Let me see your father-in-law." Meng Li knelt down and looked as level as possible with Zhang Ningyun.
"Ha~~" Zhang Ningyun squeezed out a laugh from his throat, which seemed to be sarcastic.
Meng Li stood up, turned around and walked towards the inner hall. Inside, there were imperial doctors busy coming and going. When they saw Meng Li, they saluted again. Meng Li asked them to busy themselves first.
Then he walked to Phoenix Queen Shao Jiatan.
Zhang Ningjun has been following Meng Li, watching Meng Li approach Shao Jia, and quickly arrived at Shao Jia's bed. She looked at Meng Li warily.
Meng Li looked at Shao Jia. Men in this era had thin skin, tender flesh, white skin, red lips, and slender figures.
Well, if you get it in Hyundai, it will be a piece of cake.
But at this moment, Shao Jia's face was pale and his lips were colorless. He closed his eyes tightly and made weak and painful **** sounds from time to time.
Meng Li said nothing and stayed silently beside Queen Feng. Zhang Ningyun kept staring at Meng Li warily.
Meng Li said calmly:
"Ningyun, why are you so guarded against me?"
"No." Zhang Ningyun said stubbornly.
Meng Li said jokingly:
"A child can still deceive me."
Meng Li said it easily, but Zhang Ningyun was shocked.
She adjusted her expression and stopped talking.
Shao Jia, who was on the bed, probably woke up when he heard Meng Li's voice. His long eyelashes trembled, he opened his eyes, looked at Meng Li, and shouted in a hoarse voice:
"His Majesty."
Just as he was about to struggle up, Meng Li held his shoulders, covered him with a quilt, and said softly:
"You should take good care of yourself. I'll come and see you."
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty." Shao Jia said with difficulty.
"Father," Zhang Ningjun shouted quietly from the side.
"Your Highness," Shao Jia said.
"Why are my father and queen so divided?" Zhang Ningyun murmured.
Shao Jia turned his head and glanced at Zhang Ningjun, and then looked away with some nostalgia.
He just said: "Her Royal Highness is the Crown Princess. Even if she is the Queen, she is..." Before he could finish his words, he started coughing.
Zhang Ningyun once again hated the strict rules of the royal family.
And Meng Li knew that Shao Jia's words were to remind her not to forget that Zhang Ningyun was the crown prince.
Probably Shao Jia also knew that his time was short, and he also knew that the position of Phoenix Queen could not remain vacant.
Zhang Ningyun's position as crown prince is likely to be shaken. If he wants to ascend the throne as emperor, Zhang Ningyun still needs to go a long way.
"Yes, my princess is very worried about you. When I came, she was already here." Meng Li said.
Meng Li's words made Shao Jia breathe a sigh of relief.
He said:
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Regardless of whether it's true or not, at least there is something that makes him feel relieved now.
There is probably only this little friendship between them.
Zhang Ningjun stood aside in a daze, not knowing what to think. Shao Jia glanced at Zhang Ningjun again, struggled to squeeze out a smile, and said to Meng Li:
"Your Majesty, I would like to speak with you alone."
Meng Li hummed and said:
"Everyone, go down."
Zhang Ningyun came back to her senses, her face full of reluctance.
Meng Li stretched out his hand to touch Zhang Ningyun's pigtails. She repelled Meng Li and avoided it with a deft twist of her body.
Meng Li's hand stopped in mid-air, and Shao Jia looked embarrassed.
I sighed in my heart again.
Zhang Ningjun turned around and trotted away, and all the doctors in the room retreated.
Shao Jia's hand stretched out from the quilt. Meng Li hesitated for a moment, then stretched out his hand to cover Shao Jia's hand.
Shao Jia's hands were cold, like a piece of ice, but very delicate.
"Your Majesty, I may not be able to accompany you anymore." Shao Jia smiled sadly.
Meng Li said:
"Don't say this, trust me, you will be fine."
She used her mental power to scan Shao Jia's body and learn about his situation.
Even if she extended his life, it would only mean that Shao Jia would stay in the world and suffer a little longer.
"Your Majesty, I have something I have never dared to say, but now I have to say it." Shao Jia hesitated and said.
Meng Li said:
"Just tell me."
"I can be Your Majesty's Phoenix Queen, and I will die without regrets. But after having the Crown Princess, I still feel attached to her. I know I shouldn't, but I..." Shao Jia said intermittently.
Meng Li rubbed Shao Jia's hand with his hand to warm him.
Then Meng Licai said:
"I can understand."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Shao Jia glanced at Meng Li's hand, feeling warm in his heart.
continued:
"I hope your Majesty will be more tolerant of the Crown Princess in the future. This is my only wish."
Meng Li nodded:
"It will happen naturally, don't worry."
Shao Jia: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
The two fell silent, and Meng Li finally said:
"Take good care of yourself. You are just sick and you will be fine."
Shao Jia suddenly smiled, adding a lot of life to his beautiful face:
"Okay, Your Majesty."
"I still have something to do, so you should cultivate yourself well, I..."
"I'm leaving."
Shao Jia: "Excuse me for not getting up to see your Majesty off."
Meng Li:
"It doesn't matter."
Shao Jia took a look at Meng Li's face. It was a face that he had longed for and complained about, and was probably about to say goodbye to him forever.
Is there any chance to see him again
Meng Li turned around and left the room, opened the door, and found Zhang Ningjun standing at the door. When she saw Meng Li, she stepped back.
Meng Li said:
"Please spend more time with your father and queen."
Zhang Ningyun glanced inside, moved her lips but said nothing.
