Chapter 829
He...he actually entrusted the dream to Concubine Hui and refused to give it to her!
It was like being struck by five thunders, which penetrated her body and slashed her body horizontally. Her heart seemed to be suddenly torn open, and a strong wind rushed in, causing her pain.

The tears that I had finally held back, in one moment, rolled down like a flood from a floodgate. The tears were as big as beans and as hot as fire.

I have thought about you for so many years, looking forward to you day and night, knowing that we will never meet again in life or death, I only hope that you can fall asleep at night, but for so many years... you have never given me a dream, but you have given me your dream. Gave it to Concubine Hui...

Are you still unwilling to forgive me for what happened back then?
You clearly know that I am in pain and unable to do anything...

The nails like onion tubes, painted with water-red impatiens and pomegranate flowers, are bright red and piercing the palms of the hands. They are clenched tightly like that, and the huge and boundless pain in their hearts has long been covered up by the trace of pain in the palms of their hands. Do not stay.

Grief spread from the bottom of my heart, like a swimming snake, crawling all over my body, I raised my hand to touch my chest, and opened my red lips, but I couldn't breathe out.

Concubine Hui knelt on the ground, and above her head came the sound of the Queen Mother's sobs that she tried hard to suppress but could not control. She was so frightened that she did not dare to raise her head, and her heart felt like thunder striking a drumstick.

The Queen Mother and the old General Gusu...

"Is it the concubine, my lord, forgive me, the concubine really did not expect that His Majesty would name His Highness the Ninth Prince..."

Taking a deep breath, Concubine Hui said.

Find a step for yourself and a step for the Queen Mother.

When Concubine Hui finished speaking, the Queen Mother's eyelashes covered with teardrops trembled slightly, and she shook off the crystal tears on her eyelashes, but she stopped the tears in her eyes. She bit her lips to restrain her emotions from rolling, and asked Hui The imperial concubine looked over.

"In your dream...what else did he say?" The tone was unprecedented...humble and pleading.

Concubine Hui's shoulders immediately trembled, and she lowered her head and said, "I don't remember this, I only remember that the old general complained that your majesty was unkind and refused to pass on the incense of his Gusu lineage. The rest..."

Pretending to think hard, his shoulders suddenly slumped and he said guiltily: "I really can't remember."

She knew clearly what the Queen Mother wanted to hear, and she also knew that if she made up a few words to tell her, she would be very happy, but... it was related to Xiao Ke's success or failure, and she did not dare to take any risks.

After all, Xiao Ke's ending today couldn't be better than this.

The Emperor is suspicious. As the Emperor's biological mother, the Queen Mother is as shrewd and wise as the Emperor. She will be able to detect anything out of the ordinary.

Concubine Hui finished speaking. Although she no longer heard the Queen Mother's cry, there was a long silence. It was so quiet that she could even hear the sound of falling snow in the courtyard. It was not until Concubine Hui's knees were numb that she finally spoke. I heard the Queen Mother sigh weakly and tiredly, "That's all, it's just a dream. The Ai family often wakes up and forgets everything in their dreams."

After the words fell, it seemed that she realized that Concubine Hui was kneeling on the ground, "Get up quickly, the ground is cold."

There were no maids waiting in the room, so the Queen Mother leaned forward slightly and went to help Concubine Hui.

How could Concubine Hui dare to let the Queen Mother support her? She gritted her teeth and endured the numbness of her legs, which were so numb that she couldn't feel anything. She stood up with a trembling body, staggered, and almost stood still, but she still didn't dare to look at the Queen Mother's face. No, I will beg your Majesty again, even if I give you a step-heir to the Gusu family, please don’t choose His Highness the Ninth Prince..."

Before Concubine Hui could finish her words, the Queen Mother immediately blocked her words, "Nonsense! Your Majesty's words are all words, there is no reason to take them back. Besides, whose child is not the treasure of the parents, we are reluctant to part with it, but others are willing to part with it?"

"Since we have decided on Ke'er, let Ke'er go. This is also his fate." When the word fate was mentioned, the Queen Mother's voice trembled slightly.

What's more, only those of royal blood are worthy of him...

Concubine Hui hurriedly nodded in agreement, she didn't dare to say a word about the other side.

Her heavy thoughts were finally put aside by the Queen Mother, her embroidered eyebrows were lightly raised, her delicate facial features became graceful and luxurious again, and the pearl flowers embedded in the bun on her head shone with the light coming from outside.

She has long been an elderly person, but time seems to be treating her particularly favorably.

"Why did you come here so early?" The Empress Dowager picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said to Concubine Hui: "Now the palace is empty, and you are the one who takes care of everything in the palace. You can't see it while serving the dishes. Things are the most annoying."

The Queen Mother pretended to make things happen, and Concubine Hui naturally cooperated.

He hurriedly concealed his thoughts and sighed quietly, "Gu Yuqing is here. If I don't come to see it in person, I will always feel uneasy."

The Queen Mother chuckled and said, "As a mother-in-law, you are a good mother-in-law who knows how to care for your daughter-in-law. If you care for her like this, the Ai family will not have to worry about it in the future. You have to set rules for her every day."

The Queen Mother was joking, so Concubine Hui said: "Gusu Yan left early. In those years, the Marquis of Chi Nan was unruly. The child suffered a lot. He just gritted his teeth and endured it at such a young age. How could he be allowed to do so?" She doesn't feel sorry for her, and she is a sensible person who knows both coldness and warmth, so I can't help but feel sorry for her."

Concubine Hui said this, and the Queen Mother's eyes gleamed slightly, "The Ai family has forgotten that back then, you, Concubine Mei, and Gu Suyan, the three of them had a good relationship in time..."

Mentioning Gusu Yan, and then Mei Fei... they were all dead friends who did not die well. Concubine Hui was thinking about how to respond to the Queen Mother's words, when she heard the Queen Mother change the topic and said: "The three of them colluded every day that day. I went to Cining Palace to cheat the Ai family out of their money by playing leaf cards with the Ai family. The Ai family’s little private money is like it has grown legs. They are being tricked by you three narrow-minded devils. Let’s go.”

Concubine Hui immediately felt relieved and smiled, "It's not because A Qing and Yu'er are always winking at us."

The Queen Mother laughed and said, "Yes, this child, no matter how old he is, always favors his mother. All the delicious and fun things in the Ai family's palace are reserved for them. It would be better for them to rub shoulders and backs of the Ai family and quietly I'll tell you all the cards in the Ai family's hand."

After some joking, Concubine Hui's anxious heart finally calmed down when she saw that the Queen Mother's face was bright and happy, and she never mentioned the Gusu family again. "If there is anything else you need here, I will take care of it."

The Queen Mother laughed and said, "It's nothing else. It's just the same. Hurry up and let someone build a chicken coop for the Ai family."

Chicken coop... Concubine Hui was immediately stunned, with words written all over her eyes: Huh?Look towards the Queen Mother.

"Yu'er asked Minglu to send a hundred or eighty black-bone chickens early in the morning. Ai's family has not had time to let someone build a chicken coop. Now those squawking chickens are being locked up in the left side hall. !”

Concubine Hui immediately trembled.

One hundred and eighty chickens... How big of a chicken coop do we have to build? Moreover, in these cold weather, do we need to build a special greenhouse for those chickens...

Yu'er really... "He can't buy less!" Concubine Hui sighed weakly, "With one hundred and eighty chickens, this chicken coop will probably take up half the yard."
