She pinched his back with her hand and whispered, "You can put me down now."
Mo Sichen lowered his head and glanced at her, his mouth moved, but in the end he just hummed lightly, without any other reaction.
Shen Wangshu: "..."
It seems like he did it on purpose!
Even Lianzhi was a little at a loss when she saw this scene. This, this, this... When did Prince Chen become so close to her queen?
Qing Gu, who was standing by, saw that Mo Sichen was covered in bruises and said without thinking, "Your Highness, you are still injured. How about letting me carry the Imperial Concubine?"
As he was about to step forward to take the person, he was met with a cold stare.
Qinggu's outstretched hand froze awkwardly in mid-air.
"......"
Did he...seem...say something wrong?
"No need, just lead the way."
Mo Sichen spoke in a deep voice.
Qing Gu: "Yes, Your Majesty."
Lian Zhi originally wanted to say something. After all, this was a bit against etiquette, and if rumors spread, it would not be good for both of them.
But Qinggu grabbed her and pulled her straight ahead, "Hurry up, the prince is in a bad mood, I'm afraid he will vent his anger on us if we're late."
Lian Zhi: "..."
Okay, Your Majesty, please bear with me for a while.
…
Under the leadership of Qinggu and the others, after about half an hour, Shen Wangshu and his group finally returned safely to the tent where the old emperor was currently stationed.
When they were less than a hundred meters away from the tent, Mo Sichen gently put Shen Wangshu down and said in a calm tone, "I have successfully found the queen. You can walk this distance by yourself."
"Well, thank you for your help along the way, Your Highness."
Shen Wangshu nodded and smiled, his tone very polite. After he finished speaking, he was supported by Lian Zhi and walked towards the old emperor's tent.
Mo Sichen stood there, staring at her back quietly, without blinking, until Shen Wangshu disappeared from his sight, then he turned and walked towards the tent on the other side.
"Oh, you're finally back, my lady. I'm so glad to see you're alright. You must be blessed by the Buddha! I was so worried I didn't sleep well all night."
Before he entered the tent, Liu Zhongyi came out to greet him with a loyal and courageous expression.
Shen Wangshu nodded slightly, "Thank you for your concern, eunuch. I am fine. Fortunately, Prince Chen brought people to rescue me. But where is the emperor?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Zhongyi hurriedly replied, "Your Majesty, His Majesty suffered a minor injury last night and has taken medicine and is now resting. Please come in, Your Majesty."
As he spoke, he led Shen Wangshu into the tent, and Lian Zhi followed closely behind.
As soon as he entered the tent, Shen Wangshu saw the old emperor lying on the bed.
It seemed that because of the arm injury, his face was pale and he looked very haggard, without the majestic and awe-inspiring look he used to have.
Shen Wangshu walked over and sat beside the bed, pretending to be concerned. "Your Majesty, are you okay? I'm back."
However, the old emperor did not respond and remained in a coma.
Seeing this, Shen Wangshu turned to look at Li Zhongyi again, "General Manager Li, have you asked the imperial physician to carefully diagnose the emperor? The severity of the disease is related to the health of the emperor, so please be cautious."
"In reply to the Imperial Concubine, the Emperor's sword wound is not deep and will heal with a few days of rest. He must have been too frightened last night and tossed and turned until late at night before falling asleep. The Imperial Physician has prescribed medicine, and I believe the Emperor will wake up soon."
Shen Wangshu heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this.
"That's good, that's good. This palace and the child in my belly all rely on the emperor. If anything happens to the emperor, what will happen to this palace and the child in my belly..."
After saying that, he deliberately touched his abdomen.
"Your Majesty, you are worrying too much. The Emperor is blessed by heaven and will be fine."
Li Zhongyi responded respectfully.
Shen Wangshu smiled, then asked, "How are everyone else doing?"
"To answer your Majesty, everyone else is fine, but the Queen..."
Having said that, Li Zhongyi hesitated to speak, his eyes flickering, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.
"What happened to the Queen?"
Shen Wangshu frowned and looked at him, wondering in his heart: Could it be that he was assassinated?
That shouldn't be the case. Those assassins seemed to have a clear target and were heading straight for the emperor.
"To answer your Majesty, the assassin came with great force this time, and the Empress's face was accidentally scratched by the assassin's sword. The imperial physician said that it might leave a scar..." Li Zhongyi lowered his head and said in a deep voice.
When Shen Wangshu heard this, his eyebrows raised slightly.
I thought she was seriously injured by the assassin, but it turned out that she was disfigured.
She said that although Li Zhongyi had been kind to her before, he had never been so flattering to her. Instead, he was closer to the queen.
As a result, this guy saw that the queen was about to lose power, so he turned around and thought of currying favor with her.
Even if the queen is not favored, she is still the queen of a country. Her words and deeds represent the face and image of the royal family. She doesn't have to be very beautiful, but she must have regular facial features.
Now he is facing disfigurement, tsk...
"How is the Queen now?"
"In reply to your Majesty, the Queen is awake, but her emotions are a bit unstable."
"Then you accompany me to see the queen." Shen Wangshu
He ordered calmly.
Li Zhongyi hesitated for a moment before speaking, "Your Majesty, in my opinion, the Empress is emotionally unstable right now. It's not appropriate to visit her. If a quarrel breaks out, it will not only be detrimental to the Empress's condition, but it could also be detrimental to you and the baby in your belly."
