Chapter 133 The Princess is Not in Good Condition
The maid said that Zhao Qiyue couldn't eat. Empress Lu subconsciously thought that she was just in a bad mood and didn't take it too seriously.

Empress Lü also heard the news that Pei Zhuo had died on the battlefield. She didn't care much and said, "You have a poor appetite, so it's okay to go hungry for a few days. When my eldest son died, I cried and wept, but I survived."

Things will always pass, and sad emotions will remain in the past.

After hearing what Empress Lü said, the maid felt upset and sobbed, "Empress Dowager, the princess really..."

Before she could finish her words, Zhao Qingxun suddenly came in. Empress Lu winked at the maid and said sternly, "Back off!"

Then he stood up to greet him.

Zhao Qingxun bowed respectfully: "Mother."

He looked at the maid wiping her tears and recognized her as Zhao Qiyue's personal maid. He asked casually, "What's going on? Did something happen?"

The maid glanced at Empress Lu, not daring to speak. Empress Lu smiled and said, "It's okay, don't worry about her."

Zhao Qingxun felt something was wrong. To be more precise, he felt that something was wrong with Empress Lu, as if she was hiding something from him.

He asked the maid directly: "I am asking you a question, why don't you answer it quickly!"

The maid grew up with Zhao Qiyue and they had a deep relationship. She watched Zhao Qiyue becoming increasingly depressed and felt that she couldn't just stand by and watch him die, so she knelt on the ground and said:
"Your Majesty is wise. It's Her Royal Highness the Princess. Her condition is not good right now. We really can't just ignore her."

"The princess hasn't had a full night's sleep in a long time. She stays in her room every day. I don't know what she's thinking. She cries all the time and can't eat. She looks so pitiful."

Empress Lü glared at the maid, blaming her for acting on her own, and at the same time explained to Zhao Qingxun:
"You heard it too. It's nothing serious. You just don't eat well and don't sleep well. Let me ask a doctor to take a look. You'll be fine after taking some medicine. Go and do your own thing. You don't have to worry about such a small matter." Zhao Qingxun raised his hand and pressed his forehead. He felt his head was swollen. He was indeed too busy recently. He was so busy that he forgot how long he had not seen his sister.

He sighed and said, "How is Qi Yue and Shen Jie's relationship?"

After hearing this, the maid looked at Zhao Qingxun in surprise, then at Empress Lu, surprised that His Majesty did not know about Shen Jie.

When the maid thought of Shen Jie, she was so angry that she said bluntly, "How can they talk about whether they have a good relationship? They don't even see each other."

Zhao Qingxun frowned when he heard this and looked at Empress Lü: "Mother, didn't you say that they are still in love as before and I don't need to worry about them? What's going on?"

Seeing that the truth could no longer be hidden, Empress Lu had no choice but to come clean and reveal everything that had happened in the past six months.

In her opinion, Pei Zhuo was solved, Zhao Qiyue and Shen Jie were married, and the matter was settled and there was no need to hide it anymore.

After hearing this, veins on Zhao Qingxun's forehead jumped, and he said angrily: "Mother, you are confused. If I have to sacrifice my sister's happiness in order to secure the throne, then I would rather not be the emperor."

"Besides, what does her family background matter? I don't intend to rely on women to secure my throne. I have already sent someone to bring Jiang Shuyu to the palace, and she will be crowned queen when she arrives."

Empress Lu's face changed drastically. Jiang Shuyu was Zhao Qingxun's savior and the woman who knew she had to enter the palace but insisted on waiting until the autumn harvest was over before coming to Beijing.

"Empress? She's just a farm girl who works the land. It's a great honor for her to be named a concubine. You want to make her an empress? Are you trying to piss me off to death?"
