Chapter 705: 826: Queen Zhao Falls Into the Water
"Dad, come and see, which one of my brothers' snowmen and mine looks better?"
In a clearing in the wintersweet forest, Chen Mo and four children were building a snowman.
Chen Mo spent too little time with them, let alone spending time alone with the children. He finally went out to play today, which was just the time for the father, son, and father to deepen their relationship.
So Chen Mo taught four children to build a snowman, and then said that if the snowman was done well, he would be rewarded.
"My snowman must be good-looking, because my snowman is daddy." Chen Jia raised her little red hands that were cold and said in a sweet voice.
Chen Mo: "..."
At a young age, he is quite good at talking.
Except for the snowman made by Chen Jiadi, which was fabricated to look like Chen Mo, Chen You, Chen Nuo, and Chen Zhong all made the snowmen of their respective mothers.
Chen Mo knelt down, touched Chen Jia's little head, and said with a smile: "They are all piled up beautifully. Of course, the most beautiful pile among them is your sister Youyou."
Hearing this, Chen You immediately raised his proud little face, followed his aunt's example, looked at his three younger brothers like a young adult, and said, "I told you, the snowman I built is the best."
Saying that, Chen You stepped forward, kissed Chen Mo on the face, and said with a smile: "I'll go and ask mother to come and see it. Mother will definitely like it very much."
With that said, he trotted off to find Xia Zhiqing.
Chen Mo watched all the way. There were maids and eunuchs around him, so he wasn't worried about Chen You getting lost.
Chen Jia pouted, a little dissatisfied: "Why, mine is obviously the prettiest, daddy is partial."
Chen Mo pinched his little face, pointed at the snowman and said, "Smelly boy, is your father's nose that big?"
"Haha, daddy has a big nose." Chen Nuo and Chen Zhong laughed upon seeing this.
Chen Mo pretended to be angry and played along with them.
At this time, Chen You came with Xia Zhiqing, and Wu Mi and the others also followed.
From the perspective of adults like them, the snowmen built by the four children are ugly, but if you want to comfort the children, of course they have to be beautiful.
Seeing their sister being praised by their mother and aunts, the three children, Chen Jia, Chen Nuo and Chen Zhong, immediately became envious and expressed that they wanted to do it again.
But she was stopped by Wu Mi. She stepped forward and held Chen Jia's little hand: "Leng Bingbing, look at how frozen you are, and you are still playing. When it becomes swollen, you will cry."
After saying that, he also blamed Chen Mo for taking a few children to build a snowman in such a cold weather.
Chen Mo knew that Wu Mi was educating the children and did not refute. He touched Chen Jia's head and said, "Your mother is angry. Let's go down and warm our hands. Stop playing."
"Auntie is so fierce," Chen You whispered while holding Xia Zhiqing's legs.
"That's right." Chen Nuo agreed from the side.
Then the two of them were grabbed by one ear by Xia Zhiqing.
"If I don't talk about you, you think you are doing the right thing, right? Listen to your aunt." Xia Zhiqing said with a deliberately straight face.
Seeing that the children were discouraged, Chen Mo carried Wu Mi and the others behind his back and whispered to them: "When your mother doesn't see it, Daddy will take you to play secretly."
Naturally, Chen Mo's behavior could not be hidden from Wu Mi and the others. They also heard what Chen Mo said and saw that he was coaxing the child, so they pretended not to know.
The four children suddenly burst into laughter.
"By the way, where is the Queen?" Chen Mo glanced at the girls and asked casually when he saw that Queen Zhao was not there.
"Your Majesty, she has gone to relieve herself," Wu Mi said.
Chen Mo snorted and asked how they were doing. If everything goes well, when the Queen comes back, we'll tell her and leave the palace.
At this moment, Chen Mo suddenly heard the sound of falling water not far away, as well as the panicked voices of the palace ladies.
"Someone fell into the water." Yue Ruyan said.
"?" Wu Mi and the other girls hadn't reacted yet. After all, with their strength, their five senses couldn't hear it so far away.
"No, the queen fell into the water."
Hearing the noise not far away, Chen Mo's expression changed and he hurried towards the direction of the sound.
The noise became louder and louder, and Wu Mi and the others soon heard it and rushed towards the direction of the sound.
"Aunt, please slow down and be careful of the child in your belly." Xiao Ya was more worried than Xiao Yunxi.
When Queen Zhao went to relieve herself, she didn't have anyone to accompany her.
When she came back from relieving herself, thinking about the happiness and harmony of King Wei's family made her feel sad for a moment. She recalled when His Majesty started to neglect her, and she was still looking for the reason.
Therefore, while she was thinking about something on her mind, she walked without looking at the road, missed her footing, and fell into the artificial lake in the royal garden.
The weather was very cold, but the artificial lake was not frozen. Although the lake was not deep, it was cold. In addition, Queen Zhao was just an ordinary person. The moment she fell into the lake, she panicked and choked on several mouthfuls of water. .
In just a short moment, Queen Zhao felt that her consciousness was getting blurry.
The moment she lost consciousness, a figure rushed to the lake, fished her out of the water, and carried her to the shore.
The maids and eunuchs on the shore were so frightened that they did not dare to come forward. Although the royal family had become a puppet now, they still could not afford to offend their slaves. If Queen Zhao was good at this, then the slaves they were looking after would Not much better.
Chen Mo was still calm and asked Wu Mi to come over and take a look while sending someone to visit the imperial doctor.
Wu Mi stepped forward to take a look, and quickly came to a conclusion, saying: "The Queen has drank a lot of lake water, and she needs to force the water out first."
"Daddy, is godmother asleep?" Chen Jia called out, but found that godmother couldn't be woken up at all.
Chen Mo ignored Chen Jia for the time being, but put Queen Zhao on his legs, let her arch her back like a bow, and then gently pushed her with a push, forcing the lake water she drank out of her mouth.
Then Chen Mo turned Queen Zhao over again.
After a while, Queen Zhao suddenly coughed, and then her eyelashes trembled, and she slowly opened her eyes, and her eyes were full of human figures.
And she was also held by a man and placed on his legs.
"Godmother, you're awake." Chen Jia smiled.
Wu Mi then took Queen Zhao's pulse.
Chen Mo knew that this was not right, but Queen Zhao's confused expression at the moment, coupled with her pitiful and haggard face, and the appearance of her hair being soaked by the lake water and stuck to her face, made her heart palpitate inexplicably.
He was surprised and said, "Queen, are you okay? How did you fall into the lake?"
"I accidentally stepped on air."
Queen Zhao looked at the handsome young man and pursed her pink lips. She calmed down and realized that she was hugged by the King of Wei. She wanted to get up, but her hands subconsciously pulled at her wet red jacket and skirt, and said weakly, "It's hot."
This made the onlookers confused. It was so cold, and you just fell into the lake. How could you feel hot?
"No, the queen has a cold. Her body is hypothermic." Wu Mi frowned.
"Mother, what is a cold?" Chen Jia asked curiously.
"Jia'er, be good. I'll tell you when I go back." Then Wu Mi told Chen Mo the solution. Seeing that she had to change her wet clothes and take "Si Ni San", Chen Mo asked the palace maid to take Queen Zhao back to her bedroom and change her wet clothes.
It can be seen that the maids were a little frightened and their movements were not smooth. Chen Mo frowned and asked Yue Ruyan to help.
After all, he was a man, so it would be inconvenient for him to do the next thing.
At this time, Queen Zhao also knew that it was King Wei who saved her.
…
Queen Zhao was rescued in time, and she only needed to take medicine and recuperate well, and she would be fine.
Therefore, Chen Mo just politely asked the people below to pass on a sentence: "Queen, have a good rest."
He then left the palace with his wives and concubines.
Chen Mo did not take such a small episode to heart.
Shortly after Chen Mo left the palace, Emperor Yong'an learned the news and hurried to the Queen's bedroom.
Seeing Queen Zhao lying on the bed with a folded towel on her forehead and a maid feeding her medicine, Emperor Yong'an asked with concern: "Queen, I heard that you fell into the water, are you okay?"
"I accidentally fell into the lake, thanks to the timely rescue of King Wei, I just need to rest well, and I will be fine. Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty." Queen Zhao's voice was a little weak.
"It's the King of Wei again."
Emperor Yong'an couldn't help but frowned slightly and muttered in his heart. It was originally just a very ordinary thing, but under Emperor Yong'an's overthinking, he thought that it must be involved in something he didn't know, otherwise how could he fall into the lake when the road was so wide.
Even under Emperor Yong'an's wild thoughts, he imagined that when Queen Zhao was having a secret meeting with Chen Mo, Chen Mo's wives and concubines came over. In order to avoid being discovered, Queen Zhao panicked and fell into the lake.
But on the surface, Emperor Yong'an smiled, breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "It's good that you're okay."
Queen Zhao said "um" softly in a mosquito-like voice, and looked at Emperor Yong'an with eyes full of water. She thought that His Majesty still cared about her in his heart, and perhaps he could take this opportunity to resolve the "contradiction" between the two of them for some unknown reason.
But the next words of Emperor Yong'an made her heart cold.
"Then Queen, you have a good rest, I won't disturb you, I will go down first." Emperor Yong'an said.
Queen Zhao tried to persuade him to stay.
But Emperor Yong'an told her to take good care of her, and told the maids to take good care of her, and then left.
As Emperor Yong'an left, Queen Zhao felt a pang of pain in her heart, and a tear fell from the corner of her eye.
Queen Zhao, who fell into the lake, was already frightened, and at this moment, she was eager for Emperor Yong'an's care and warmth, but Emperor Yong'an did not give her this opportunity.
...
Afternoon.
Bronze Sparrow Tower.
When in Xiangyang, it was still Bronze Sparrow Garden.
But after moving to Tianchuan, Chen Mo simply changed the name to Bronze Sparrow Tower.
In the wing room of the former Queen Xu Ying.
On the bed.
Chen Mo gently stretched out a hand and embraced Xu Ying's plump body, and his handsome face showed a bit of immersion.
Chen Mo pinched her chin, moved close to the beautiful woman's bright red lips, held the soft, plump and shiny lips, and greedily plundered them.
After a while, their lips parted.
Xu Ying said sweetly, "Why did the prince come here at this time?"
Chen Mo paused slightly, thinking of what happened in the palace before, his eyes flickered, and he stroked her jade back and said softly, "Of course I miss the queen."
"I miss the prince too." Xu Ying was even sweeter.
At this time, Chen Mo took a breath and said, "Of course, I miss the princess too."
Chen Mo lowered his eyes, and Princess Zhaoqing Chu Ran, who raised her head at the end of the bed, had a red face. Hearing Chen Mo's words, she frowned and then relaxed a little.
Chen Mo gently pushed Xu Ying's shoulder, and the latter immediately understood, pouted her lips, and changed positions with Chu Ran in a charming manner.
After Chen Mo, Xu Ying and Chu Ran had been making a fuss for a while, it was already evening and snowflakes were falling from the sky again.
Inside the house, Chen Mo hugged the two girls on both sides, and the quilt was warm, so no one wanted to get up.
Chen Mo gently stroked the shoulders of the two girls and glanced left and right. At this time, the two girls' faces were red like clouds, their red lips were slightly open, and they were breathing softly.
Chen Mo glanced at the sky outside the window and said, "It's getting late, and I should go too."
"No, Your Majesty, you should stay to accompany me and His Highness tonight." Xu Ying hugged Chen Mo's arm and coquettishly tried to keep him.
"There will be opportunities later." Chen Mo kissed Xu Ying and Chu Ran on the forehead, then slightly lifted the quilt, got out of bed, and put on his robe.
Seeing that Chen Mo had made up his mind, Xu Ying stopped trying to keep him, and only said some words that she would miss Chen Mo.
"This time, I brought gifts for you two, and I put them on the table. You can choose them later." After Chen Mo put on his robe, he left.
The two people on the bed looked at Chen Mo's back as he left, and both stroked their slightly swollen bellies, hoping to get pregnant this time.
When leaving Tongque Tower.
Chen Mo met a woman.
This woman was wearing a white dress and had a graceful figure. She was swaying in the wind like a willow in the yard, looking gorgeous and dignified. What was even more surprising was that she was sweeping the snow with a broom.
When she saw Chen Mo, she immediately greeted him. Her face was like delicate white jade, with a faint blush, and a few faint smiles between her eyebrows.
This woman was Zhihua, whom Chen Mo met in Jiangnan.
After a slight pause, Chen Mo smiled and said, "It's Zhihua."
In order to find out whether what Zhihua said was true or false, he temporarily took Zhihua in and arranged for her to live in Tongque Garden.
Although it was later proved that what she said was true and her life story was particularly tragic, it was at that time when the Huai King provoked, the Chong King and Lu Sheng sent troops, and the war broke out again. After a while, Chen Mo gradually forgot about Zhihua.
After all, in Chen Mo's heart, Zhihua was almost the same as Xiao Ming.
"Your Highness still remembers me." Zhihua's white face, as white as snow, showed a hint of shyness.
Chen Mo also saw that she was waiting for him here on purpose.
"What are your plans next? Let's just let the matter of Jiangnan go. I don't blame you." Chen Mo said: "From today on, I will give you freedom."
But Zhihua knelt down in front of Chen Mo with a plop and said: "I said at the beginning that I was willing to be a slave to the prince. Besides, my brother is gone now, and my only concern in this world is gone. There is no place for me to go in this big world."
