Fengming Chen Palace

Chapter 137 Mind

For the emperor and the empress dowager, the thoughts are complicated.

Indeed, the emperor was not her own, and even his biological mother died in her hands.

But in the final analysis, since he was born, he was raised by her side. Although she didn't treat him very well because she had a biological son, she watched him grow up after all.

These years, the emperor has always been very filial to her, but he would not refute whatever she said, and would act according to her thoughts, even if there were some things that deliberately made things difficult for him.

The queen mother felt that even if you raise a dog, you will have feelings after a long time, let alone a human.

She is from the Chu family, but she is also the queen mother of Daxing. She hopes that the country will be peaceful and the people will live and work in peace and contentment.

At the beginning, she wanted her son to become the prince and emperor, and she even used some means for this matter.

But the late emperor still passed on the throne to the emperor. Even though she was dissatisfied, she had no choice but to see with her own eyes how well the emperor governed Daxing these years. To be honest, she felt relieved in her heart.

It is also because of this that when she knows that her own son has other ideas, she will quarrel with him, because she does not want this peace to be destroyed by her son.

But now, his son has made up his mind, until now, he still stays in the capital, maybe even in the palace, not only that, he also defiled the emperor's concubines.

And the emperor, who has always been respectful and filial to him, recently began to refute her, and even said such things in front of so many people.

After all, he has changed, he is different from the past, it doesn't matter if he has stiff wings or what, in short, everything is out of her control now.

This feeling is not good for the queen mother at all.

"Queen Mother, according to this old slave, let's just wait and see what happens." Hearing the Queen Mother ask herself, Mother Qin thought for a while before responding.

She knew in her heart that many things are not what you want, and if the emperor is really suspicious, sooner or later, the sixth prince will be found out.

Even the matter of Concubine Chu Gui will be exposed, and at that time, it will be a disaster for the Chu family.

Perhaps the emperor will not do anything to the queen mother, even if the queen mother is not his biological mother, but the Chu family is different. These years, the Chu family has always been a nail in the emperor's heart. If there is a chance, the emperor will definitely pull out that nail.

But the queen mother is from the Chu family, and she will never allow it. If the emperor gets rid of the Chu family, by then... I'm afraid that many things will really be beyond her control.

Nanny Qin didn't say these words, even though she was the queen mother's dowry, some words could only be rotted in her stomach, unless it was time to say them.

After listening to Mother Qin's words, the Queen Mother sighed, "Forget it, Ai's family is exhausted, help Ai's family to have a rest, you should find a way to deal with Qi'er, and find him as soon as possible."

"Yes." Mother Qin responded, helped the queen mother get up, and walked towards the inner room.

In Roufu Palace, Concubine Chu was very surprised when she heard the news of the emperor's arrival.

In the usual way, she might be very happy. She is looking forward to the emperor coming, looking forward to something between the two of them, looking forward to herself being pregnant with the emperor's child.

But since that incident happened, she no longer expected the emperor to come, and she even hoped that the emperor would never come, because she felt that she was already unclean.

She couldn't tell anyone about that matter. She could only keep this secret in her heart and bring it to the grave in the future.

This is the disgrace of her life...

Standing up, Concubine Chu adjusted her clothes and walked towards the entrance of the palace. Even if she didn't want the emperor to come, she had to go out to greet him.

Emperor Chen came in from Roufu Palace, and saw Concubine Chu standing at the entrance of the palace from a distance.

His brows were slightly frowned, even though the emperor didn't care much about Concubine Chu, it could be seen that Concubine Chu had lost a lot of weight.

The clothes that used to fit are now very loose on her body. According to Concubine Chu Guifei's temperament, she would never wear the current clothes, but if the clothes didn't fit a little bit, she would ask the palace servants from Shangyifang to make new ones for her. .

As she got closer, she could see more clearly that apart from being thin, Concubine Chu Guifei's complexion was not very good, she was indeed recovering from a serious illness.

"Excuse me." Seeing that Concubine Chu was about to salute, Emperor Chen waved his hand and walked into the hall with her.

"Why has the imperial concubine lost so much weight? Her complexion is not good-looking, but can the imperial doctor prescribe a prescription?" After sitting down, the Emperor Chen asked.

"Thank you for the emperor's concern. The imperial physician has already prescribed a prescription. They all say that the illness is like a thread, and it will take a certain amount of time to recuperate."

Hearing the emperor's question, Concubine Chu forced a smile. Her appearance was top-notch in the harem. In the past, what she cared most about was her own face.

But after something like that happened, she fell ill again, and her usual concern faded a bit.

It was precisely because of this that she looked even more haggard. Zizhu and Zixiao also knew that their master had no intentions, so this period of time was all up to her.

"In a while, I will ask Zhou Chengren to go to Dianzhong Province and ask them to pick some fabrics and send them to you. You can send someone to Shangyifang to tell them to come over and make some new clothes for you."

"If there is still something missing, you can send someone to the palace to give orders. You are a noble concubine, and no one dares to neglect you."

The Emperor Chen didn't know the real reason why Concubine Chu was so haggard, he just thought that she was really seriously ill.

Anyway, he has today, thanks to the Chu family, right now, there are still many places where the Chu family can be used.

Furthermore, he and Concubine Chu had grown up together. Although their relationship was not good at that time, there was always some friendship between them.

He will never fall in love with her, but he will take care of her more because of his childhood friendship.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Concubine Chu Guifei got up, and blessed the emperor, the emperor's behavior made her eye circles warm, and her heart became more and more sad.

"It's just a trivial matter, why do you do this?" Seeing Concubine Chu's red eyes, Emperor Chen comforted him with a smile, the more he was like this, the more uncomfortable Concubine Chu felt.

"Your Majesty, this concubine is not feeling well, please go back first." Concubine Chu bowed to the Emperor again, suppressing the emotions in her heart, and said to the Emperor.

This was the first time that she asked the emperor to leave.

"Since that's the case, the noble concubine should have a good rest, and remember to ask the people in the palace to invite an imperial physician to come and have a look." Standing up, Emperor Chen ordered a few words, then turned and walked out of the palace.

Concubine Chu Gui looked at his back until his figure disappeared, and tears fell down.

Emperor Chen left Roufu Palace with Zhou Chengren, sitting on the sedan chair, Emperor Chen returned to Chengqian Palace.

On the way back, he recalled Concubine Chu Gui's reaction, and narrowed his eyes slightly...
