When Zhang Zong heard that Wu Meiniang suddenly came, he couldn't help but feel sank in his heart. The situation he was most worried about actually happened.

"Sir, why is the Empress Dowager here? Did she know about her father?" Li Chongye asked with a panic expression at this time.

After Li Hong ascended the throne, he immediately made Li Chongye the crown prince. After all, Li Hong did not have a biological son. Although he adopted Li Chongye, if he had not made him the crown prince earlier, the throne would still be unstable. However, Li Chongye was still too young and could not hold back at the critical moment.

"There are many people in the palace, and people are staring at each place. After His Majesty became ill, he blocked the hall and hired an imperial doctor. This will definitely attract the attention of some people who are interested!" Zhang Zong sighed at this time. Wu Meiniang has been in the palace for so many years. Although Li Hong replaced a group of people in the palace after he ascended the throne, it is difficult to guarantee that Wu Meiniang's eyeliner is mixed with it.

"What should I do now? If the Empress Dowager sees her father's current appearance, I'm afraid..." Li Chongye said anxiously again at this time, and at the end he showed a fearful expression. Although Wu Meiniang was his grandmother, he was only afraid but not respectful to this grandmother because he knew the coldness and ruthlessness of this grandmother.

Zhang Zong also showed a hesitant expression when he heard this, but he quickly gritted his teeth and said, "You stay by your Majesty's side, I'll try to stabilize her!"

After Zhang Zong finished speaking, he didn't wait for Li Chongye to agree, and immediately rushed to the front hall. Sure enough, he saw Wu Meiniang walking in from outside the hall at a glance, so he immediately stepped forward and saluted, "My minister Zhang Zong pays homage to the Queen Mother!"

"No need to be polite, where is Your Majesty?" Wu Meiniang smiled at this time, but she asked Li Hong at the beginning, obviously she was prepared.

"Your Majesty is resting in the inner hall. I don't know what the Empress Dowager is doing. If it is not important, I can wait until Your Majesty wakes up before conveying it to you!" Zhang Zong stepped forward and saluted again, and at the same time blocked the other party's way.

Seeing Zhang Zong blocking the way, Wu Meiniang frowned, but she was not angry, but asked again: "Why did Your Majesty suddenly sleep in broad daylight? Could it be that she was feeling uncomfortable?"

"Your Majesty is just tired. After all, there are too many government pragmatisms recently. It is a huge burden on Your Majesty at once." Zhang Zong replied calmly.

"Oh? Your Majesty is so tired. I, a mother-in-law, have to visit him!" Wu Meiniang said as she was about to step in and break in again, but Zhang Zong stepped forward, but once again blocked her.

"You want to stop me?" Wu Meiniang finally showed an angry expression at this time, and her phoenix eyes were also staring at Zhang Zong tightly.

"I dare not, but Your Majesty needs rest. It is not advisable to see outsiders for the time being!" Zhang Zong raised his head and looked directly at Wu Meiniang and said.

Even if he angered the other party today, he would never let Wu Meiniang go in. Although Wu Meiniang's intelligence can definitely guess Li Hong's situation, as long as she did not see it with her own eyes, she would have doubts, and this doubt would become a concern, so she would not dare to seize power unscrupulously.

Seeing Zhang Zong's attitude so tough, Wu Meiniang finally showed an annoyed expression and immediately snorted coldly: "I have to go in today, I see who dares to stop me!"

Wu Meiniang said that, she was going to break in. Although Zhang Zong was brave, she could not really hug the other party and prevent her from entering. After all, no matter what, she was her mother-in-law, so he could only retreat again and again, and was about to retreat into the inner hall.

However, just when Zhang Zong was helpless, he suddenly heard a familiar voice from behind, saying, "Why did the Queen Mother quarrel with her brother-in-law? It made me feel refreshed!"

Hearing this voice, Zhang Zong was relieved immediately, while Wu Meiniang showed a stunned expression because Li Hong actually walked out of the inner hall. Although his face was a little pale, his steps were very steady, and he didn't seem to be as sick as she guessed.

"Cough~, it turns out that Your Majesty is really asleep. I heard that you summoned the Imperial Doctor into the hall and thought you were sick, so I rushed to visit you, but I didn't expect that Zhang Zong would stop me from entering." Wu Meiniang was stunned for a while before coughing and speaking, but the smile on her face seemed very stiff.

"I was indeed a little uncomfortable, so I asked the imperial doctor to come and went to bed after taking the medicine. I didn't expect that my mother misunderstood!" Li Hong walked to the desk at this time, and then sat down with the help of Li Chongye.

"So that's it. It seems that I'm too heartless." Wu Meiniang laughed dryly again. After she met Li Hong, she didn't even say a few words, so now she suddenly showed such concern for Li Hong. Anyone with a discerning eye knows her intention. People with thinner faces may have already fled in panic at this time.

"Thank you for your concern for the Queen Mother. If nothing else, Queen Mother should go back to the palace to rest. I still have some government affairs to discuss with Zhang Zong." Li Hong said calmly again at this time. Although he was polite in his tone, he was actually driving Wu Meiniang away without mercy.

Wu Meiniang's face turned blue when she heard this, but she thought that Li Zhi had left and now Li Hong was the emperor, which made her swallow her breath and bow and leave with her ruthlessly, and then she finally left the hall with her subordinates.

"Your Majesty, you are finally awake!" After Wu Meiniang left, Zhang Zong finally breathed a sigh of relief.

However, as soon as Zhang Zong finished speaking, Li Hong forced a smile at him, then covered his chest and collapsed in his seat again, which scared Li Chongye next to him, and hurried forward to support him.

Zhang Zong was also very scared and immediately stepped forward and asked, "Your Majesty, how do you feel? Are you still feeling uncomfortable in your chest?"

Li Hong's face was pale and there was no blood. At the same time, he opened his mouth wide and panted for a while, then he accumulated the strength to speak and said, "Chest...the chest still hurts a lot. Zhang Zong, please apply some medicine to me!"

"No, if this medicine is overdose, it will be harmful to the body and may even aggravate Your Majesty's condition." Zhang Zong shook his head immediately after hearing this. Nitroglycerin is toxic and has a large toxicity. It can only be used as a drug when the dosage is particularly small. If it is overdose, it may cause the patient to die.

"No...it's okay, I...I've used it before, it won't be a problem!" Li Hong said again. After saying that, his right hand suddenly grabbed his chest, and beads of sweat the size of soybeans were also spilled out of his forehead. Obviously, the heart cramping made him unbearable.
