A year later, the emperor suddenly became seriously ill and the prince was in charge of the country. Although some people were ready to take action, to Zhou Lingdu, these were all trivial matters.
Later, the emperor died and the prince officially ascended the throne and became the new emperor.
And Chu Li had finally gotten through it. This year, she had had a difficult time. Her health was not good, she couldn't sleep well, and she couldn't eat well. She was as thin as skin and bones.
But she had to persevere. Not long after the new emperor took the throne, she handed a sign to the palace and wanted to see the queen.
He said he wanted to see the queen, but actually he wanted to see Zhou Lingdu and give him the handkerchief from the mission.
Qi Le also agreed to let Chu Li enter the palace to see her. In fact, the two had met several times before. Even Qi Le's handkerchief was given to her by Sun Sihan.
But as they grew older, Sun Sihan's health became worse, and they had less contact.
When Chu Li was helped into the queen's palace, Qi Le greeted her enthusiastically, "Sister, you are here, sit down quickly."
"Thank you, Queen."
"There's no need to be too polite. You and I are just sisters. We don't need to care about these false gifts."
Qi Le had a decent smile on her face, but in Chu Li's opinion, she felt guilty. It seemed that she had long understood that part of the reason why the prince married her was because of the handkerchief, which Sun Sihan once gave her. handkerchief.
"Sister, I'm here this time. Firstly, I want to congratulate my sister on becoming the queen. Secondly, my health is getting worse. I want to see my sister again while I can still move."
Qi Le was very happy, although he didn't know whether she was real or fake, "Sister, I would like to thank you very much for always thinking of your sister. By the way, you will stay here for dinner at noon today."
"Thank you sister."
Chu Li's calculation was just right. At noon, Zhou Lingdu came. Even Qi Le was a little surprised that the emperor would come suddenly.
That's because Zhou Lingdu came to see Qi Le about something. He wanted to make Qi Wu a noble concubine and wanted to ask Qi Le's opinion.
But he didn't expect that Chu Li was there too.
Zhou Lingdu carefully identified Chu Li before speaking slowly, "This must be the third young lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion!"
Chu Li saluted, "See Your Majesty."
"rise."
Zhou Lingdu remembered Chu Li. She seemed to like him, but he would not marry a sick man. "What is the important matter for the third lady to enter the palace?"
"My lord, come and see the Queen."
Zhou Lingdu raised his eyebrows and looked at Qi Le, "Is that so? Queen."
"Yes, Your Majesty, Sister Sun just came to see me."
Seeing that the time was almost up, Chu Li took out a handkerchief, turned sideways, covered her mouth and coughed.
Seeing both of them staring at her, she smiled sheepishly, "It's my daughter who has behaved inappropriately."
Zhou Lingdu also noticed the handkerchief on Chu Li's hand, and he asked excitedly, "Whose handkerchief is it on your hand?"
He added, "I remember the queen also had a similar one."
Chu Li told the truth, "Reporting to Your Majesty, this veil belongs to my concubine. As for the one I gave to your concubine, I gave it to you before."
"Really?" Zhou Lingdu suddenly pinched Chu Li's shoulders and questioned her directly.
"Your Majesty, is there something wrong?"
Zhou Lingdu looked gloomy, "Just tell me if this handkerchief is yours?"
"be mine."
After hearing Chu Li's affirmative reply, he looked at Qi Le again, and indeed found some dodge in her eyes. It seemed that this was true.
"I understand. I want to take a step in advance. Let's have a good chat!"
After Zhou Lingdu left, Qi Le's face instantly turned ugly. She didn't know what to say. Now His Majesty knew that she was not that little girl.
Qi Le was panicking about whether he would push him out of the back seat.
But she quickly calmed down and faced Chu Li calmly.
She figured it out, if His Majesty is really so heartless, then don't blame her for being cruel.
