"Ming'e, stop talking..." Liao Chongwu's eyes were wet. He didn't hate her. He just felt powerless. Zhong Ming'e was working so hard, but he couldn't help her at all. Why was he so useless?
"Liao Chongwu, please don't abandon me! Don't despise me! Wait for me a little longer!" Suddenly, Zhong Minge sat up from the bed. He held Liao Chongwu's hands tightly with both hands, and looked at Liao Chongwu nervously, "When I become the emperor, I will take you back. By then, no one can separate us! Liao Chongwu, wait for me a little longer! Wait for me a little longer!"
"Okay. I'll wait for you." Liao Chongwu looked at Zhong Ming'e's appearance. He felt sad and bitter. He held Zhong Ming'e with one hand and held the back of his head with the other hand. Then he leaned over and kissed his sweaty forehead.
…
Zhong Ming'e's hand rubbed back and forth on his forehead. Finally, it stopped at the center of his eyebrows. That day, Liao Chongwu kissed him there. Zhong Ming'e's fingers gently rubbed there, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a gentle arc.
"Prince!" Gao Zhiqi knocked on the door outside, "Have you rested?"
"What's wrong?" Zhong Ming'e frowned and sat up. It was so late. Gao Zhiqi wouldn't knock on the door if it wasn't something important.
"Prince, Lord Zou is here." Gao Zhiqi said.
"Take Lord Zou to the side hall, I'll be there soon." Zhong Ming'e said in a deep voice.
"Yes, I obey your command."
…
Side hall.
As soon as Zhong Ming'e came in, Zou Shijie stood up to greet him, and while bowing to him, he said, "The prince is here to sweep the imperial tomb on behalf of His Majesty. This trip must be very tiring."
"It is a great honor to serve the emperor, so how can it be hard?" Zhong Ming'e said as he sat down and motioned Zou Shijie to take a seat. Then he smiled and said, "As soon as I returned to the capital, I got the good news that Lord Zou was promoted. I am really happy for Lord Zou."
"It can be considered that after many years of being a daughter-in-law, she finally becomes a mother-in-law," Zou Shijie said with a smile, taking a sip of tea while speaking to Zhong Ming'e, "It doesn't matter whether I am promoted or not, but now I am honored to be the Minister of Justice of the First Rank, which will naturally be beneficial to the prince. What was inconvenient for me to take the lead in the past will be convenient in the future."
Yes, with Zou Shijie, the first-rank minister of the Ministry of Justice, taking office, Zhong Minge's position in the court will naturally rise. Although Zou Shijie was actually in charge of the Ministry of Justice in the past, there was still the old minister Yan above him who was old and no one wanted to offend. Zou Shijie was inevitably constrained in his actions, but now it is different. He is the first-rank minister of the Ministry of Justice, so naturally he has the final say on the affairs of the Ministry of Justice in the future.
"In that case, I would like to thank Lord Zou first," Zhong Ming'e said with a smile as he picked up the teacup and said to Zou Shijie, "I will use tea instead of wine to show my appreciation."
"Your Highness is really polite. We are a family. Why should we be so polite?" Zou Shijie said with a smile. He took a sip of tea and looked at Zhong Minge. "I wonder how the princess is doing recently? Your humble wife and I are thinking of you very much."
"The princess has someone to take care of her daily diet and daily life. She is in good health. Lord and Madam Zou, please rest assured." Zhong Ming'e said in a deep voice as he put down the teacup.
"That's good," Zou Shijie nodded repeatedly, and he breathed a sigh of relief, and then he said, "It's almost three months. After three months, the princess's fetal position will be stable, and then we can all breathe a sigh of relief."
"Yes," Zhong Ming'e also said, stroking the teacup, with a ruthless look in his eyes, "Some time ago, the Imperial Noble Consort made trouble in the harem, just to make my father think that I am childless. My mother is naturally anxious, and seeing Huipin's belly getting bigger day by day, she is even more anxious about my future. That's why she made a wrong decision and sent persimmon cakes to Changchun Palace. But if the news of the princess' pregnancy comes out in a few days, I will see how the Imperial Noble Consort will face it!"
"Yes, when I heard about this, I was also indignant. These days, because the princess is pregnant, the Cui family and the Zou family have been very cautious and dare not make any mistakes. But the Zhao family is still stirring up trouble. It's really hateful." Zou Shijie also had a look of contempt. "Wait until the princess's fetal position is stable, and then the news that the princess is already three months pregnant is spread, who is jumping around in the harem, Your Majesty will have his own decision in his mind."
"With Zhao's personality, she was able to climb to the position of Imperial Noble Consort. It's hard to believe how magnanimous my father is." Zhong Ming'e curled his lips sarcastically, paused, and looked at Zou Shijie again, "If we take this opportunity to overthrow the Imperial Noble Consort, do we have a chance of success?"
