I, the wanderer of the universe, love making friends

Chapter 95 Queen Mother, You Have to Contribute Too

The sunlight was like golden arrows, passing through the narrow gaps in the windows of Xiaoyao Palace and shooting into the palace like sharp arrows.

The light interweaves together to form patches of mottled and blurry light and shadow.

In the light and shadow, dust floats, like the wings of a disturbed butterfly, trembling gently.

Seeing that His Majesty seemed to have fallen asleep, the exhausted Liang Luoyao stood up quietly, thinking of leaving quietly.

At this moment, a clear voice suddenly came from outside the house: "Your Majesty..."

The voice is clear and bright, with strong penetrating power, and can even make people feel the anxiety and eagerness contained in it.

Hearing the sudden shout, Liang Luoyao shook violently like a frightened rabbit, with a panic expression on her face.

Her eyes were filled with fear, as if the whole world was about to collapse.

Shen Lang's expression was calm and there was no disturbance at all.

He frowned slightly and calmly asked outside the door, "What's the matter?"

The person outside the door responded respectfully, "Your Majesty, the Empress has sent a letter, asking for your personal review."

Shen Lang pondered for a moment, a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure.

He replied calmly, "Leave it there for now. I'll check on it later. Please don't come in and disturb me for now. I have something important to discuss with the Queen Mother."

"I will follow your majesty's orders." With a response, peace returned outside the house.

The only sounds left were the rustling of leaves in the breeze and the occasional chirping of birds.

Silence enveloped the entire room, as if time had stood still.

Liang Luoyao and Shen Lang looked at each other, and her eyes revealed complex emotions.

After a long silence, Liang Luoyao finally broke the silence.

Liang Luoyao let out a long sigh, and that sigh seemed to carry thousands of sorrows and grievances.

In a tone that was almost tearful, she said, "Your Majesty, if the Queen knew about this, she would definitely make a big fuss about it!"

However, before she could finish her words, footsteps were heard outside the house.

Along with the sound of footsteps, Li Qiushui's clear yet chilling voice echoed, "I'm curious, who is gossiping behind my back and actually dares to frame me?"

Upon hearing this, Liang Luoyao's face instantly turned as pale as paper, completely bloodless, and her entire body began to tremble violently involuntarily, like a fallen leaf in the autumn wind, about to fall.

In just a blink of an eye, Li Qiu Shui walked into the house with light steps.

Her eyes were as sharp as two swords, shooting straight at Liang Luoyao. Her eyes could see through people's hearts, making Liang Luoyao feel scared and the hairs on her body stood up.

Just when Liang Luoyao thought a storm was about to come, a smile as beautiful as a flower suddenly bloomed on Li Qiushui's face.

Then she bowed slightly and performed a standard etiquette towards Liang Luoyao, saying, "So it's the Queen Mother who's here. I greet you."

Although on the surface there was nothing wrong with this gesture of greeting, Liang Luoyao clearly felt that there was no respect in it.

Even so, Liang Luoyao didn't even dare to breathe at this moment, let alone criticize the other party.

Li Qiushui said again: "I would like to ask the Queen Mother why you are here."

Hearing this, Liang Luoyao shuddered violently, her body began to tremble violently involuntarily, and even her voice became stumbling: "You, you..."

She wanted to deny it, but her trembling lips and shaking voice made it difficult to trust what she said.

Li Qiushui then said, "Does the Queen Mother intend to deny it outright?" Liang Luoyao's face showed a look of extreme fear in an instant, her eyes quickly drooped, and she didn't dare to look up at Li Qiushui at all.

Her lips trembled as she stammered, "I have never intended to disrupt the government, and..."

However, before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Li Qiu Shui's cold laughter.

"You'd better be obedient and follow my instructions. This way, you might be able to save your life. If you dare to harbor even the slightest inappropriate thought, I will definitely not forgive you easily!"

At this point, Li Qiushui let out a faint smile and said softly, "I was originally troubled by a vexing matter, and since you happened to be here, I will leave this matter to you, Queen Mother, to handle. It's a good thing."

Liang Luoyao's face was full of confusion, with puzzlement flashing in her eyes. She asked softly, "What's the matter?"

Li Qiushui looked at her expressionlessly and replied calmly, "The Crown Prince is actually a woman disguised as a man, so the Queen Mother should know what I am going to say."

As soon as he finished speaking, Liang Luoyao was stunned, staring straight ahead, and was dazed for a while.

In an instant, her heart was filled with complex emotions, as if a bottle of five flavors had been overturned. She didn't know whether to feel happy, relieved, sad or panicked.

Li Qiushui's eyes revealed a hint of ruthlessness as she slowly spoke, "Don't think I'm joking. If you, Queen Mother, dare to have any second thoughts, I will make sure you can't even be a ghost. Not only that, the entire Liang family will be implicated."

Her voice was cold, as if carrying a biting chill that made people shudder.

Liang Luoyao sighed inwardly, she knew very well that if Li Qiushui could say it, she could do it.

Faced with such a difficult situation, she didn't know how to respond for a moment.

All the previous methods were completely useless when facing Li Qiu Shui.

Her face gradually turned pale and her hands trembled slightly. It was obvious that she could no longer control her inner fear and anxiety.

Li Qiushui raised the corners of her mouth, revealing a smug smile, with a cunning glint in her eyes.

Then, she sighed softly and said helplessly, "So, Your Majesty, you must spend more time here to walk around, otherwise I will have to go and invite you in person."

There was a clear threat in her tone.

After hearing this, Liang Luoyao's heart sank and the expression on her face became more solemn.

She understood that what Li Qiu Shui said was true, and if it really came to that, the consequences would be unimaginable.

However, at this moment, she really couldn't think of any way to deal with this situation and could only endure it silently.

Seeing Liang Luoyao remained silent, Li Qiushui continued to pressure her, saying, "Your Majesty, you should be aware of my methods. If you don't cooperate, I'm afraid there will be more trouble waiting for you."

Her words were like a sharp sword, piercing Liang Luoyao's heart.

Liang Luoyao finally couldn't help but retorted in a low voice: "The Queen must consider the interests of the court. After all..."

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Li Qiu Shui.

"Hmph! The court? Now the whole world belongs to your Majesty, and your Majesty is the most powerful! Queen Mother, you'd better think about it carefully!" Li Qiu Shui sneered.

Liang Luoyao gritted her teeth and groaned inwardly.

She knew that she couldn't continue to fight Li Qiu Shui, otherwise it would only make things worse.

So, she took a deep breath and said slowly, "Okay, I promise you, but I hope you won't make it too difficult for me."

Li Qiushui smiled slightly, nodded with satisfaction, and said, "That's right, Queen Mother, don't worry. As long as you are obedient, I will naturally not treat you unfairly."

After saying this, Li Qiushui turned to the emperor and said in a gentle voice, "Your Majesty, I have something else to discuss with you."
