Chapter 518 Confessing the Aftermath
At the end of June in the Hongsu year, the marigolds in the capital had almost completely withered.

In this hot summer, even the air is hot. Marigolds struggled in the hot air for half a month, and finally hung their heads, and their trunks began to lose moisture and gradually shrank.

Gong Lixi wiped off the sweat from her forehead, and only the eldest palace maid Luo Xing was by her side.

Before Xiao Yichen's bedroom, Gong Lixi waved her hand: "You go back first."

Luo Xing hesitated for a moment.

Gong Lixi said: "Listen to me."

"Yes, empress." Luo Xing turned and left, walked a few steps and looked back, Gong Lixi's figure had disappeared behind the palace gate.

She stood there in a daze for a while, the scorching sun mercilessly scorching the earth.

Luo Xing took out a veil from his pocket and wiped his face, whether it was sweat or tears.

When Gong Lixi entered, several people were already waiting in the bedroom.

Seeing Gong Lixi coming in, Gong Yu saluted according to the rules: "My lady is well."

When Gong Lixi saw her father, she couldn't hide her emotions, her eyes were slightly red, she quickly took a few deep breaths and turned her head away.

Seeing this, the elder Zhou Anzhou pulled Gong Lixi quietly, and said in a low voice: "Granddaughter, today may be the time. Anyone in this palace can mess up, but you can't, do you understand?"

Gong Lixi looked at Zhou An's serious and kind face, bit her lip and nodded.

Zhou An sighed and said, "Li Xi, I know you are still young and it is not easy to go through so many things, but you are different from ordinary girls, you are the queen, you have to bear the responsibilities you need to bear."

Gong Lixi nodded slowly: "Grandfather, Li Xi knows."

Zhou An patted her: "It's good to know, you go in first to accompany the emperor."

Gong Lixi walked in silently. Xiao Yichen was sitting in front of the mirror. He seemed to be in good spirits, but his complexion was too haggard, making people unbearable to look at.

Hearing footsteps, Xiao Yichen looked at Gong Lixi through the mirror and smiled slightly: "Xi'er, come here."

Gong Lixi immediately walked over and reached out to hold his hand tightly.

"Brother Chen, I beg you...I beg you..."

Her voice was low and inaudible, full of panic, as if at this moment she was not a queen of the world, but just an ordinary woman who was about to face parting.

Xiao Yichen stroked her beautiful long hair, "Xi'er, don't panic, listen to me, I have already drawn up the will and put it in the box under the dragon bed, you must get the will first, and then talk to the prime minister, Zhou Let the elders control the situation together. During the period of my funeral, King Cheng must not be able to hold back. He has been waiting for this day for many years, and he may lead troops to trap the palace by entering the palace to worship , forcing you to take out the will, don’t be afraid, King Qi will protect you.”

Gong Lixi listened silently, but couldn't help crying.

Xiao Yichen blinked jokingly: "Xi'er, it's okay, forgive that legendary Meng Po who wouldn't dare to force me to drink Meng Po's soup."

Seeing that Xiao Yichen was still in the mood to joke at this moment, Gong Lixi stared at him weakly with red eyes and said, "Brother Chen, you must keep your word and don't lie to me."

Xiao Yichen leaned back in the chair slowly, and said in a very soft voice, "Xi'er, comb my hair again, I will see the prime minister and Mr. Zhou later, so I have to look good."

Gong Lixi held back her tears: "Okay."

Her hand holding the comb trembled a little.
