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

"Ahem, ahem!" The Queen covered her mouth with her handkerchief and leaned against the soft pillow. "These past few days, I have been very grateful to this girl under your command."

"You are young, but you are very clever and deft. You have solved a big problem for me."

"Your Majesty, I am sorry for that." Su Minglang smiled modestly, turned around and said in a low voice: "Why don't you thank the Queen quickly!"

Xiao Ye hurriedly stepped forward and knelt, bowing respectfully, "Thank you very much, Queen, for your praise."

"Lin Xin, go and bring me the jade hairpin." The Queen calmed down and greeted with a smile: "Xiao Ye helped me so much, you deserve a reward!"

Xiao Ye looked at Su Minglang at a loss, and when she nodded slightly, she reached out to take it with confidence: "Thank you, Queen!"

"Okay, get up." The queen waved her hand indifferently.

"My lady, how are you?"

Ever since Su Minglang entered the palace, the Queen's coughing has never been heard before, and it even seems to be getting worse.

"It's okay. I haven't been feeling well for a few days. It's nothing serious. I just coughed twice." The queen said nonchalantly. She could naturally feel that her health was getting worse, but she had been taking medicine for such a long time and not only had there been no improvement, but it became worse. Life and death were determined by fate. What else could she do but accept her fate?

"Have you asked someone from the Imperial Hospital to come and take a look?" Su Minglang looked at her worriedly. Seeing that the Queen looked like she was about to cough out her lungs, "It's not a good idea for you to keep coughing like this!"

"It's alright," the Empress waved her hand. "The Imperial Physician has come to see me many times, but it's useless. The medicines are very bitter. I've drunk so many but there's no improvement."

"Tell me about yourself. You came to see me today, not just to visit me, right?"

The Queen Mother spoke with certainty. Even though she looked sickly, her eyes and brows could not conceal her nobleness. She had the demeanor of a truly respected person.

"Your Majesty is right," Su Minglang simply stopped the small talk, "I heard from the Imperial Observatory a few days ago that there might be heavy snow this winter. I wonder if Your Majesty knows about this?"

"Indeed," the Queen nodded. "What a coincidence! I just received a letter from home today, asking me to prepare charcoal early this year. They didn't say the reason, only that this year might be a cold winter."

"I didn't expect you to come here today for this matter."

Su Minglang was a little surprised, "I thought that Minister Wen didn't believe in ghosts and gods."

"The Imperial Astronomical Observatory observes the celestial phenomena at night, and it is not just about ghosts and gods." The queen shook her head, "But the person who sent the letter was not my father, but my younger brother."

"The Empress's younger brother?" A vague figure reappeared in Su Minglang's mind, with the gentle and elegant air of a scholar and the faint scent of soapberry between his sleeves, intertwining and gradually becoming clearer.

"Are you talking about Master Wen Shuyi?"

"Oh?" The queen was a little surprised. "I didn't expect you to know Shuyi. Yes, the letter was indeed sent by Shuyi. What's the matter?"

"Your Majesty, to be honest, I came here today because I feel that this winter will definitely not be an easy one."

"Why do you say that?" The Queen's expression suddenly became serious. "Mid-Autumn Festival is coming in a few days, but although the weather is getting cooler now, it's not that cold. It seems that this winter may be a warm one."

Su Minglang shook her head and said disapprovingly, "Your Majesty, the weather would have been a little cold at this time of year in previous years, but this year it is exceptionally warm. Something must be wrong when things are abnormal. I am afraid that it is accumulating strength for the cold disaster."

"Zhaoyi!" The Queen's voice was cold, "Zhaoyi, why are you saying something so unlucky? This is only in my palace. If you say it outside, be careful that His Majesty will punish you!"

"Your Majesty, I am telling the truth!" Su Minglang said anxiously, "Since I heard the news, I have been unable to sleep well these past few days. Every time I have nightmares, I have nightmares of snowstorms. Heavy snow swallowed up everything. Countless houses were crushed by the snow, and countless people were buried under it."

"My lady, I am not talking nonsense, nor am I trying to disturb you, but I am trembling with fear."

"What's more!" Su Minglang pointed at the letter that the Queen had just taken out and said, "Look, didn't Lord Wen also agree with the Imperial Observatory's request?"

"This..." The queen hesitated for a moment, "But even if this is true, it's useless for you to tell me. You should tell His Majesty, not to mention the Su family."

"It's not that I haven't mentioned this to Your Majesty." Su Minglang sighed helplessly, "But Your Majesty said that he absolutely doesn't believe in these ghost stories. There have been a lot of arguments in the court these days, and I think Your Majesty is also upset because of this."

"As for the Su family..." Su Minglang rubbed his eyebrows and said helplessly: "You also know that the Su family has been practicing martial arts and joining the army for generations. If I use this as an excuse to ask them to add more firewood and food, I'm afraid it will be a joke if it's spread back."

The queen was a little uneasy. She rubbed the handle of the chair carefully, "Then what do you think I should do?"

"Now is not the time for me to say what to do." Su Minglang took out a piece of letter from her bosom, "Your Majesty, here are some points that I think should be paid more attention to. Please give this letter to Lord Wen."

"I think the voices of support in the court are not low, otherwise it would be difficult to start a quarrel. Among all the civil and military officials, the only one I can contact is Lord Wen."

The queen looked at the letter handed to her with suspicion, "What are you doing?"

"As a concubine, you may occasionally listen to the affairs of the court, but you must never discuss the affairs of the court!"

"Don't worry, Your Majesty!" Su Minglang stood up hurriedly. "Please be at ease, Your Majesty. I know the rules. I'm just saying this in front of Your Majesty."

"However!" Su Minglang looked at the letter sent to the Queen with a serious expression, "I dare to ask Your Majesty to trust me for once. At least you have to hand this letter to Lord Wen."

"You want me to trust you, but you talk incoherently and have no reason or evidence. How can I trust you?"

After all, it was a matter of people's livelihood, and the queen felt a little anxious. Her already weak body was broken into cold sweat.

"Your Majesty, if you don't trust me, you can open the envelope right now and take a look." Su Minglang stood up straight and walked calmly to the queen. "Your Majesty, this concerns the national economy and the people's livelihood, and the lives of tens of millions of people. I beg you to think twice!"

"This..." The national economy and people's livelihood, these four words came out, as if a heavy burden was instantly pressed down, "Forget it, I will try to talk to Shuyi."

"As for whether he watches it or not, I can't do anything about it."
