I traveled through time with my best friend.

Chapter 239 I am useless.

"Your Majesty, you are talking nonsense again." Concubine Hua raised her eyes from Li Lingchen's arms helplessly, stared at Li Lingchen seriously and said, "Your Majesty, loving someone does not care about his identity. Even if you were an ordinary person at that time, I would still fall in love with you."

"Shu'er..." Li Lingchen rested his chin on Concubine Hua's shoulder and said softly, "Hearing you talk about Zi Yan just now, I couldn't help but think of our past. You once longed for the outside world, but because of me, you are trapped in this world and have to stay vigilant at all times."

"Your Majesty..." Concubine Hua interrupted Li Lingchen softly and said, "Don't say such things again in the future. I don't like to hear them."

Li Lingchen looked at Shu'er who was frowning slightly, and nodded obediently: "Okay, Shu'er doesn't like it, I won't say it anymore."

Concubine Hua then softened her expression, looked at the dark circles under Li Lingchen's eyes, and said gently, "Look at you. I'm afraid you haven't had a good night's sleep these past few days because Prince Cheng has been in the palace."

Li Lingchen nodded slightly and said softly: "Will Shu'er blame me for King Cheng ignoring you these days?"

"Don't say that. I'm doing this to protect you."

"Shu'er, will you be my queen?"

After hearing this, Concubine Hua was slightly stunned. After a moment, she said, "Your Majesty, you know that I don't like that position."

"But I want you to stand shoulder to shoulder with me."

"Your Majesty, once you take the position of Empress, you will make the people in the harem jealous. It is better to leave it vacant. They cannot guess what you are thinking. If the position of Empress is vacant, they will not only focus on the position of Crown Prince all day long."

Li Lingchen knew this truth, but seeing that his beloved woman could only be a concubine, he felt that he was incompetent and could not stand shoulder to shoulder with his beloved woman.

Concubine Hua knew what Li Lingchen was thinking, so she comforted him, "Your Majesty, once the matter of becoming a king is settled, even if Your Majesty doesn't want me to be the queen, I will do it too."

This made Li Lingchen laugh, and his mood improved a lot. He scratched Concubine Hua's nose lovingly and said softly: "The position of queen can only belong to Shu'er."

"Okay, I've been here for quite some time, so I'll go back to Yuehua Palace first."

Li Lingchen looked at Concubine Hua reluctantly and said, "I will go to your place tonight."

"it is good."

Concubine Hua stood on tiptoe and gently kissed Li Lingchen on the lips, then quickly turned around and was about to leave, but Li Lingchen grabbed her wrist, pulled her over, and gave her a passionate kiss.

The two hugged each other tightly, like lovers who had not seen each other for many days, and were reluctant to let go of each other.

Until Hongfu's voice came from outside, "Your Majesty, General Xuan wants to see you."

Li Lingchen reluctantly let go of Concubine Hua, with affection in his eyes, and said softly: "Shu'er..."

Concubine Hua's face flushed red, and she lowered her head and said, "I will leave first."

Li Lingchen kissed Concubine Hua on the forehead reluctantly, and then whispered, "Okay." Then he paused and continued, "By the way, you have lived in the deep palace for a long time. Lin Yiyi's incident was obviously framed by someone. You can teach her how to make the person who framed her lose his composure."

After hearing this, Concubine Hua understood instantly and said, "Okay."

After Concubine Hua left, the gentleness in Li Lingchen's eyes disappeared completely, and then he returned to his usual serious expression and sat down at the desk.

Xuan Yi walked in wearing armor and saluted, "Your Majesty."

"But is there any movement from King Cheng?" Li Lingchen asked directly.

Xuan Yi replied with a serious face: "Your Majesty, Prince Cheng has been staying in Baohua Palace these days and has not made any movement. I have also ordered the Queen Mother to guard the place strictly, and no suspicious people have been seen."

Li Lingchen drooped his eyebrows, as if thinking about something. King Cheng now knew that the Queen Mother was related to his mother's death, and he would definitely not let her go.

He raised his head and looked at Xuan Yi and asked, "How is the Queen Mother's health these days?"

"It's still the same. I keep having nightmares."

"Chongming hasn't found the cause of the disease yet?"

Xuan Yi frowned slightly and replied, "The divine doctor said that the Queen Mother's illness came suddenly and it was a mental illness. The person who tied the bell should be the one to untie it. The Queen Mother has been having nightmares like this. Only the abbot of Yuan Temple of Fahua Temple can solve the Queen Mother's nightmares."

"really?"

Xuan Yi lowered his head and said, "That's what Divine Doctor Chong said."

Li Lingchen lowered his head and began to ponder. It was not a solution for the Queen Mother to continue like this. He still had many questions in his mind about the matters of Xuzhou and Anren County that he wanted to clarify.

There is also the matter of Concubine Rou. He also wanted to know what caused the fire in Baohua Palace that year. That fire not only killed Concubine Rou, but also killed dozens of lives in Baohua Palace.

There must be an explanation for the lives of these people.

Thinking of this, Li Lingchen looked at Xuan Yi and said, "Go to Fahua Temple right away to invite the abbot of Yuan Temple."

"Yes." Xuan Yi said, then stood up and prepared to leave.

But Li Lingchen stopped him, "Wait, what's going on with Master Pei?"

"Your Majesty, there is no news from Lord Pei's residence."

Li Lingchen frowned slightly, then raised his hand and said, "Go down."

After Concubine Hua returned to Yuehua Palace, she ordered Lan Yu to personally invite Yi Yi into the palace.

At Pei Mansion, Jiang Xue had been detoxifying Pei Zhijin for a few days, but there was still no improvement. Instead, the poison seemed to have worsened.

In the pharmacy, Jiang Xue leaned back discouragedly with the medical book in her hand, pressed the book against her face, and waved her hands in the air to vent her anger.

Then he sighed deeply, "I didn't expect that there would be a poison that I, Jiang Xue, couldn't cure."

Pei Zhijin gently pushed open the door, looked at Jiang Xue who was almost autistic, a smile appeared on his haggard face, and then he walked in lightly.

Then he gently took the medical book off Jiang Xue's face. Jiang Xue was startled and opened her eyes, only to meet Pei Zhijin's gentle and haggard face.

"Are you awake?" Jiang Xue stood up from the chair.

Pei Zhijin nodded gently, looked at Jiang Xue's messy hair, reached out and gently tidied up the hair by Jiang Xue's ears, and then said softly: "Thank you for your hard work these days."

"I'm fine, but you've suffered so much." Jiang Xue said as she stared at Pei Zhijin. He was wearing a plain white robe, with his hair half loose, and looked much more haggard than a few days ago.

Then he felt guilty, "I'm sorry, Pei Zhijin, I'm useless."

"Don't say that about yourself, you've tried very hard." Pei Zhijin gently raised his hand and held Jiang Xue in his arms.

Jiang Xue's eyes turned red. Listening to Pei Zhijin's even breathing, tears flowed down her face. If she continued to torture him like this, he would not last long.

Just when Jiang Xue was thinking about whether to transfer the love poison in Pei Zhijin to herself, there was suddenly a rustling sound in the yard.
