Fengming Chen Palace

Chapter 225 The Eve
"Don't worry, what happened before won't happen again." Seeing Zhang Zhaorong's relieved look, the queen comforted her.

Because of some understanding of Zhang Zhaorong, the queen didn't think too much about it. After all, those words just now were indeed Zhang Zhaorong's temperament, so she could say them.

Don't look at her as Zhaorong, but that kind of timid temperament is really rare.

"Thank you, ma'am." Zhang Zhaorong understood that the queen said those words to appease her, so she stood up and thanked the queen.

"To tell you the truth, the empress, ever since the emperor left the palace, I always feel uneasy. Fortunately, there is the empress in the harem."

After taking his seat again, Zhang Zhaorong looked at the queen, with a slightly uneasy expression on his face, with a bit of composure.

Seeing her like this, the queen finally understood why Zhang Zhaorong appeared in her Fengyang Palace.

Don't look at the moment, the harem seems to be calm, but in fact, there is a kind of calm before the storm.

A timid person like Zhang Zhaorong is very sensitive, she must have sensed something.

Now that the emperor is not around, the safest place in the harem is probably his own Fengyang Palace and the heavily guarded Yuxiu Palace.

According to Zhang Zhaorong's temperament, she will definitely not go to Yuxiu Palace, so Fengyang Palace is her best choice, and since she is the queen, if she really comes, he can't drive her away.

If the queen was still wondering about the reason for Zhang Zhaorong's visit before, then at this moment, she has completely understood.

"Empress, can my concubine discuss something with you?" Seeing that the queen had no words, Zhang Zhaorong spoke again, with anxiety in his words.

"Tell me." With Zhang Zhaorong's temper, it's easy to scare herself into trouble. She's an adult, but it's nothing. It's really frightening. She just needs to be raised, but she has the eldest princess by her side, if it's not some difficulty The queen will agree to everything.

"In the past few days, my concubine has often felt restless in her heart. Only when she came to the Fengyang Palace of the empress, did she feel more at ease in her heart."

"If...if the empress doesn't mind, please...please accept our mother and daughter, I promise, I won't cause trouble for the empress."

As she said that, Zhang Zhaorong's eye circles turned red, she bit her lower lip, her face turned pale, if you look carefully, you can find that her body is trembling with fear.

This appearance surprised the queen, she knew that Zhang Zhaorong was timid, but she did not expect to be so timid.

Under such circumstances, if I refuse...I'm afraid there will be some problems.

As she thought, as an adult, even if something goes wrong, it's fine, but the eldest princess is still young.

The emperor has lost one princess and cannot lose another.

Although Fengyang Palace is a place where only queens can live, but at the moment, the situation is special, it is just to house Zhang Zhaorong and the eldest princess for a period of time, so it is no big deal.

During the time when the queen was thinking, Zhang Zhaorong's eyes were fixed on the queen, with strong hope, and the queen could feel it.

"Since that's the case, I ordered people to clean up the side hall on the side, and I will wrong you and the eldest princess to live in the side hall temporarily."

Looking at Zhang Zhaorong, the queen spoke slowly, and with the queen's permission, Zhang Zhaorong almost wept with joy.

Standing up with the eldest princess in his arms, Zhang Zhaorong knelt on the ground and saluted the queen. The eldest princess in her arms seemed to feel something, and began to cry with her mouth puckered.

"Get up quickly, it's not a big deal, you live in the side hall, if anything happens, please send someone to tell me."

Seeing Zhang Zhaorong like this, the queen quickly opened her mouth, Zhang Zhaorong thanked her again and again, then hugged the eldest princess and stood up from the ground.

Taking a look at Zhihua, the queen ordered her to take someone to tidy up the side hall for Zhang Zhaorong.

"Empress, can my concubine go to the side hall to have a look?" Seeing that Zhihua was leaving, Zhang Zhaorong said a little embarrassedly, the queen was slightly taken aback, and then understood what she meant.

"Go ahead, that's fine, I don't understand your habits with the eldest princess, so you go and keep an eye on it, and if there's anything wrong, you can tell Zhihua in time."

She opened her mouth with a smile, and the queen nodded in response. She knew in her heart that Zhang Zhaorong wanted to follow her to have a look, because she was worried about herself.

It seems that Zhang Zhaorong is not only timid, but also quite alert.

The queen was not angry about this, she felt that with Zhang Zhaorong's temper, anything was possible.

With the queen's permission, Zhang Zhaorong was very happy. After saluting again, she hugged the eldest princess and followed Zhihua to leave the main hall.

"Mother, this Zhang Zhaorong is really..." Zhishu wanted to say that Zhang Zhaorong was a little clueless, but she was Zhaorong after all, and she couldn't tolerate being a slave and servant.

"It's okay, I have a clear conscience, and I don't worry about what she might be on guard against. Since their mother and daughter are staying here, you should keep an eye on them if there is anything wrong."

Since she has kept him, she has the responsibility to take care of him. If something happens in her Fengyang Palace, she will not be able to explain it to the emperor.

"I don't know, what's going on with the emperor?" Whispering softly, the queen secretly prayed in her heart that only if the emperor wins can they survive.

At this time, in the palace enclosure, the emperor, whom the empress cared about, was sitting in the big tent.

After reading the letter in his hand, the emperor burned the letter. In the past few days, he and Xuanyuanqi have been in a state of testing each other.

This state should be over now, and tomorrow, they will start a hunt related to blood, and at that time, it will be time for him and Xuanyuan Qi to decide the winner.

Now, the northwest frontier is in his hands, and in the capital, he is not worried. After all, with his own hidden guards and people led by Shen Yu, he believes that his chances of winning are still very high.

In the tent on the other side, Xuanyuanqi also burned a letter. He looked at his subordinates and asked a few words in a low voice.

"Tomorrow will be the moment when the winner will be decided. This king will not believe that after making so many preparations, he can still return to the capital alive! That position must belong to this king!"

Because of the long distance and the fact that the emperor sent people to intercept him, the letter from the northwest border could not be delivered to Xuanyuanqi at all. He did not know that the northwest border had completely returned to the emperor's control.

Today, the chief general of the northwest border is no longer a member of the Chu family, but replaced by Shen Xiao who everyone thought was dead.

In addition, most of the situation in the capital is out of his control, Shen Yu is still alive, this is the emperor's biggest trump card.

Under the leadership of Shen Yu, many of the Chu family's dark forces in the capital were quietly disintegrated, leaving only a small number of Chu family members who thought they were sure of winning.

This was deliberately arranged by the emperor. He wanted to let the Chu family know what it means to have greater hope and greater disappointment...
