Fengming Chen Palace

Chapter 135 Confrontation
In Yanqing Palace, Mother Qin had already reported the news of the emperor's arrival to the queen mother, who was also very surprised, she never expected that the emperor would come at this time.

She quickly returned to normal. From her point of view, the court lady had already been beaten to death. Hearing from Nanny Qin, Su Xiuyi was terrified. She thought that her goal had already been achieved, so there was no need to think too much about it. many.

Right now, the most important thing is to find his son and persuade him to return to the fief.

As for the emperor's anger, it doesn't really matter. After all, he is the empress dowager, his mother, so he can't do anything to him.

The empress and Lu Xiurong were still kneeling, they pleaded with Su Qingning before, but the empress dowager did not let them get up.

The queen was kneeling, and there was no reason for the rest of the people to sit. In the palace, except for the palace people who sang opera at Shanglefang, the rest of the people were kneeling.

The Empress Dowager sat on the chair, she didn't care about the situation in the hall, her eyes fell on the entrance of the hall, she guessed that the emperor would come.

Emperor Chen strode towards the main hall, and soon came to the entrance of the main hall. His eyes scanned the hall, and then he lifted his foot and walked into the hall.

The eyes of mother and son met, the emperor stopped and looked at the queen mother, who looked back at him with no expression on her face.

"The emperor is here!" Seeing this scene, Zhou Chengren cleared his throat and called out. Immediately, the palace servants of Shanglefang stopped and knelt on the ground.

The emperor strode into the palace. Normally, he would first salute the queen mother before doing other things, but today, he walked directly to the queen and helped her up.

"Lv Xiurong, get up too." Looking at Lu Xiurong, the Emperor Chen ordered, he supported the Queen's arm and looked at the Queen Mother.

"I don't know what mistake the queen made. The queen mother wants to punish her to kneel and listen to the play with you?"

She didn't directly talk about Su Qingning, which made the queen mother even more surprised. She suddenly realized that she could no longer see through the emperor's thoughts.

After all, he is no longer the little emperor in the past, he has grown up.

"It's just that I forgot for a while, is the emperor going to settle accounts with Ai's family?" Looking at the emperor, the queen mother spoke slowly, and threw the question back.

"I don't dare, but the empress is the master of the harem, the mother of the world. No matter what, the empress mother should not treat her like this. After all, the empress mother was also the empress back then."

Looking directly at the queen mother, the emperor wanted to ask her directly why she treated Su Qingning like that, but he understood that it was not the time yet, and he had to wait.

"Your Majesty is right. It is true that the Ai family is not the one. Please don't blame the Ai family." Looking at the serious face of the emperor, the queen mother showed a smile. She looked at the queen and said with a smile .

The queen mother was like this, the queen wanted to salute and say something, but the emperor held her arm, and she couldn't move at all.

All of this was seen by the Queen Mother, she turned her gaze back to the emperor's face, "Does the emperor have anything to say?"

"Since the queen mother has asked, the minister said the last thing. I don't know what is the son and the son of the son to the queen mother? Is it true that in the queen mother's heart, the son of the minister is not important at all?" ?”

Letting go of the Queen's arm, Emperor Chen looked at the Queen Mother and asked.

As soon as he said this, the queen's face suddenly showed surprise, not only her, but all the concubines present were a little panicked.

"What does the emperor mean? Are you questioning Aijia?" The queen mother did not expect that the emperor would use such a method to ask her. She frowned and showed anger on her face.

"How dare I question my mother, I just want to know what is really going on in my mother's heart. If I think about it, my mother can see that Su Xiuyi is pregnant. Why do you still treat her like that when you know this?"

"Although the Queen Mother doesn't care about the affairs of the harem, the Queen Mother is in the palace, and the news will definitely not be blocked. It should be clear that Su Xiuyi was frightened a while ago and almost had an accident."

"Besides, pregnant women are inherently weak. As a mother, you should know what it's like, but the mother ordered Su Xiuyi to let her watch the people in her palace being beaten to death with her own eyes. Mother, have you ever thought that Su Xiuyi's stomach is full of blood? Yes, is it the child of the minister, is it your grandson?"

"The queen mother should know that there are only two princesses. The imperial physician once said that Su Xiuyi's baby is a boy. Doesn't the mother wish that the servants have offspring?"

A series of questions came from the Emperor Chen. In fact, the imperial physician never said that the baby in Su Qingning's stomach was a boy. The Emperor Chen said this in order to target the Queen Mother and put pressure on her.

Even if she is the empress dowager or the emperor's mother, if she endangers the emperor's heir, it would not be nice to spread the word.

After saying these words, the Empress Dowager's complexion immediately changed. If it wasn't for the fear of so many people in the palace, she might have stepped forward and slapped the emperor.

Nanny Qin knew the Queen Mother's character well, and even more knew the relationship between mother and child. She was afraid that the Queen Mother would be impulsive, so she hurried forward and supported the Queen Mother.

"I don't think so. The empress mother has always been lenient, and she once advised her ministers to go to the Roufu Palace more often so that Concubine Chu could conceive an imperial heir earlier. From this point of view, the empress mother should hope that the sons and ministers can have an heir and inherit the throne. .”

"Since that's the case, why does the empress mother treat Su Xiuyi like this? Is it because she hopes that only Concubine Chu in the harem can give birth to an heir?"

Without giving the Queen Mother a chance to speak, the Emperor Chen spoke again, and these words involved Concubine Chu Gui.

The Empress Dowager never imagined that the emperor, who was always gentle in front of her, would treat her like this today. His questioning can be said to have put her, Concubine Chu Gui and even the Chu family in a certain unfavorable position.

She knew in her heart that at this time, she couldn't get angry, otherwise, there were some things that she really couldn't explain clearly.

"Where did the emperor say this? How could the Ai family think that way? Besides, isn't the emperor's favorite place to go to the Yuxiu Palace? If so, how can the other concubines be pregnant?"

"Aijia admits that Su Xiuyi was wronged by being too impulsive today. Aijia is willing to make up for her. If she really gives birth to a prince, she can break the rules and be directly promoted to concubine. .”

"However, there is only one prince, it is not enough. The emperor often goes to the harem when he is exposed to the rain and dew. You still have too few concubines in the harem. In this way, next spring, the Ai family will help the queen to work together for your harem." Draft, how about adding a few newcomers?"

After all, Jiang is old and spicy. The Queen Mother's words not only blocked the Emperor's words, but also directly shifted the topic to other places.

Emperor Chen looked at her and felt exhausted. He really wanted to say some words, but with so many people in this hall, he could only swallow those words.
