I was given the contraceptive soup and became the emperor's white moonlight

Su Minglang finally came to his senses after taking a shower. Compared to clothes soaked in sweat, dry clothes really made him feel refreshed.

They didn't know how many times it rained after they went to bed last night, but at least the sky was completely clear at dawn.

Different from the continuous rainy weather yesterday, the sun is high in the sky today and makes me feel warm all over.

"I didn't expect that after it rained all day yesterday, today would be such a rare good day?"

She opened the window herself, and a breeze mixed with the fragrance of soil blew towards her. She looked at the scene outside the window with joy, but couldn't help but sigh with regret: "It's a pity that it's already late autumn. If such a rain fell in spring, I don't know how much new green would grow."

"Your Majesty, why are you standing in front of the window enjoying the breeze?" As soon as Xiao Ye entered the room, he saw Su Minglang standing in front of the window in a single layer of clothes. The breeze blew her hair that was not yet dry, causing Xiao Ye to shudder.

"You blow-dry your hair before it's completely dry. What if you get a head injury?"

When they were together in the Su Mansion, Madam Su suffered from headaches. She always wanted to wrap her head up all the time. Every time she had an attack, Xiao Ye worried whether his master would also get the same disease.

You should know that although headaches are not fatal, they come intermittently and endlessly, often making people feel listless all day long and feel nauseous.

"I know, I know." Su Minglang let her drag him to the table, but saw that the food on the table was unusually rich. He couldn't help but ask, "What day is today? Why is the breakfast so rich?"

"You may have fallen into a daze from sleeping. Didn't you see the sun outside?" Xiao Ye pointed helplessly. Only then did Su Minglang realize that the sun was already at its zenith outside.

"So this is lunch?" Su Minglang held the chopsticks for a moment, not knowing how to start. She had just woken up from sleepiness, and perhaps because she had slept for too long, her mind was in a mess.

"I came back too late last night." Xiao Ye said helplessly: "When I found you last night, it was already late at night. I don't know what time it will be when I come back."

Su Minglang rubbed his eyebrows and sighed helplessly, "Forget it, let's eat quickly."

What does it matter what time you came back last night? The most important thing now is to appease your stomach.

"Your Majesty, Lord Li requests to see you." The eunuch outside the door came in at an inopportune time. When he looked up, he saw Su Minglang staring at him with an unexpected look.

"Let him wait." Su Minglang said coldly, obviously still upset about him standing her up last night.

"Yes!" The little eunuch walked away tremblingly with his head down. Su Minglang picked up the chopsticks again and enjoyed the delicious food in front of him.

The meal lasted for half an hour. Su Minglang finally put down his chopsticks, unable to bear Xiao Ye's gaze. "Why are you staring at me without moving your chopsticks?"

"Lord Li has been waiting for half an hour." Xiao Ye said helplessly.

"Hmph!" Su Minglang snorted coldly. She had waited for more than half an hour last night.

"What's the big deal about asking him to wait? Who asked him to come here for such an unpleasant matter and delay my meal?"

"Now that you've eaten, you should be able to go see him, right?"

"Not urgent."

Su Minglang slowly finished a cup of tea before slowly getting up and calling to Xiao Ye who looked anxious beside him, "Let's go."

When the two arrived at the outer hall, they saw Li Zhao sitting there leisurely sipping tea. Then Su Minglang remembered that he had been shivering in the cold wind in the rain last night and couldn't find a cup of hot water anywhere. He stopped and turned around to go back.

Before Xiao Ye could react, Li Zhao, who was sitting upright, noticed them and stood up and saluted at the right time: "Your humble servant greets the Empress Zhaoyi."

She didn't want to embarrass Li Zhao in public, so Su Minglang suppressed her dissatisfaction and nodded slightly with a cold face, as if she was accepting his courtesy.

"Master Li, I am very honored to be here. What advice do you have for me?"

Li Zhao knew that she had resentment in her heart, and he had to bow his head and accept it today no matter what: "I dare not. I am here to apologize to the queen today."

"Ha!" Su Minglang sneered, raised his head and stared at him intently, "What crime has Lord Li committed?"

"You have just solved a big problem for His Majesty, and I am afraid that I have not had time to reward you. How dare I say that you are guilty?"

"I am indeed aware of my guilt and will accept punishment from Your Majesty!" Li Zhao stood up and knelt, looking very serious.

"I was delayed by official business last night and was unable to keep the appointment on time. I will never be able to escape the blame!"

Su Minglang had already dismissed his attendants when Li Zhao arrived. The people who stayed around him at this time were people with whom he did not need to be shy, so Li Zhao spoke directly.

Su Minglang looked at him deeply and knew that his official business could not be delayed, not to mention that there were things she wanted to know more.

"Get up." Su Minglang said reluctantly.

"Yes!" Li Zhao stood up in response, but did not sit back down.

Su Minglang waved his hands helplessly upon seeing this, "Sit down. If I ask you to stand, it would seem that I am mistreating my meritorious officials."

Li Zhao smiled again when he heard that. Just as he was about to speak, he saw Su Minglang looking tired, so he sat down in silence with his head lowered.

"I know that the stories I'm asking you here are not very realistic." Su Minglang spoke slowly. As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly looked up and stared at him intently, "But you never told me that there were other people in that abandoned palace!"

"You saw her?" Li Zhao stood up suddenly. "What did you do to her?"

Li Zhao realized he had said something wrong and quickly changed the subject: "What I meant is, has she ever offended you?"

"I didn't do anything to him." Su Minglang looked away and said slowly, "After all, I was alone at the time."

"Otherwise, how could I let someone who has spied on me sleep peacefully?"

"She will not pose any threat to you!" Li Zhao said hastily. The smile on his face instantly faded, and only panic remained in his eyes. "I can guarantee it with my life!"

"What does your name have to do with me?" Su Minglang said unmoved, "Is it just so that I can use you as a scapegoat when the time comes?"

"Master Li, are you worried that I will be without someone to accompany me on my journey to the underworld?"

"That's not what I meant!"

Li Zhao had been in the imperial court for many years, and soon regained his composure, but the smile on his face could not be found. "The secret of that child is much more important than the trivial matter of the queen secretly meeting with foreign officials."

"So your Majesty, don't worry about the day when all the fish will be destroyed and the net will be broken."

"Since this matter is of great importance, why did you bother to tell me?" Su Minglang asked the doubts in her heart: "No matter what this person's identity is, I don't care much."

"I have no time to care about the so-called secrets behind you."
