Fengming Chen Palace

Chapter 280 Doubt
After all, it was an old man in the palace, Nanny Chen quickly came back to her senses, and replied in a low voice.

Su Qingning glanced at her, she noticed that Nanny Chen was in a trance just now.

Although she was a little puzzled, Su Qingning didn't ask any further questions, thinking that Nanny Chen said that she had made two pairs of knee pads, and Su Qingning planned to give the other pair to Lu Zhaoyi.

After telling Nanny Chen, Su Qingning continued to eat, and had to go back to the Lotus Hall to kneel in a while.

The small kitchen in Yuxiu Palace has excellent craftsmanship, after eating, Su Qingning asked Nanny Chen to help her tie the knee pads.

"Although it's a bit hot, master be patient." After tying up the knee pads, Nanny Chen whispered, Su Qingning nodded, and asked her to tie the other pair on her knees as well.

This pair was for Lu Zhaoyi, she couldn't take it carelessly, so it was safest to tie it on her leg.

After Madam Chen was tied up, Su Qingning got up and walked a few steps, but it didn't affect her walking.

"Report to the emperor, the chief supervisor of the Qin Tianjian is here." Outside the palace, the voice of the palace man came, and the Emperor Chen gave orders to let the chief supervisor come in.

Entering the hall, the chief supervisor of Qin Tianjian saluted the emperor and Su Qingning.

Calling him to get up, the emperor didn't turn a corner, and directly expressed his thoughts.

"Please don't worry, your majesty, this servant knows what to do." After the emperor's words, the chief prisoner knew what to do. He saluted the emperor and said back.

"I don't know if the emperor intends to stop for a few days, how about three days?" Under normal circumstances, there are half a month's suspension, but after the Chu family's incident, how many days can be suspended is not certain.

The chief supervisor of the Qin Tianjian felt that no matter what he said, he had to stop for three days. If it was too little, people would inevitably say that the emperor was not filial enough.

"Just three days." In response, Emperor Chen nodded, "I will leave the rest to you. I think you know how to say it."

The days of being imprisoned in the palace are not short, the emperor said so, he naturally understood what it meant.

All the necessary arrangements were made, and the Emperor Chen returned to the Lotus Hall together with Su Qingning.

Lu Zhaoyi had already returned, Su Qingning pulled her out of the Lotus Hall, found a remote corner, took off a pair of knee pads from her legs, and handed them to her.

"This is specially prepared by Nanny Chen. One pair is enough for me. This pair is for my sister."

"Does the emperor know about this?" Lu Zhaoyi asked suspiciously after taking the knee pad from Su Qingning's hand.

"I know, this pair was originally prepared for the emperor, but the emperor doesn't need it. I thought my sister needed it, so I brought it for my sister. Don't worry, the emperor will not blame you."

Nodding, Su Qingning responded, she said so, Lu Zhaoyi responded and put on the knee pads.

"Although it's getting hotter, it's better than nothing." Seeing Lu Zhaoyi move her legs and feet, Su Qingning said with a smile, and the two of them returned to the Lotus Hall and knelt down.

This kneeling lasted for one night, no matter whether it was the emperor or the concubines in the harem, they all knelt here and could not leave.

If it wasn't that he didn't want to make a fool of himself in front of the emperor, he didn't dare to make a fool of himself, I'm afraid some of them couldn't help crying.

Su Qingning stretched out her hand and rubbed her numb knees. Kneeling like this was really hard work.

After kneeling for so long, even if something was tied to her knee, she still felt unbearable pain at this moment, like a needle prick.

It was getting brighter, and the Emperor Chen ordered the palace servants to prepare food and water in the side hall near the Lotus Hall just like last night.

The concubines supported each other, endured the pain, and walked towards the outside of the Lotus Hall.

A pair of hands stretched out, helped Su Qingning up, and let her lean on him, and the emperor tried his best to help Lu Zhaoyi up as well.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." She wanted to be blessed, but her knees were really tight, and with the emperor supporting her, she couldn't squat down even if she wanted to salute.

"Forget it, it's hard work to kneel all night, you two go back to the palace to rest for a while." He said lightly, the emperor turned his head and looked at Princess Mingyu who was still kneeling on the ground, "Mingyu, you also go to rest Yes, I will ask someone to tidy up a palace for you."

While speaking, some palace people had already stepped forward and helped Princess Mingyu up. After listening to Emperor Chen, Princess Mingyu thought for a while and looked at Emperor Chen, "Brother Emperor, I heard that the emperor's sister-in-law was injured. I want to go and see her."

"The queen's injury is very serious. The imperial doctor said that no one should disturb her." Unexpectedly, Princess Mingyu said so, Emperor Chen was taken aback for a moment, and quickly realized.

"How serious is the injury of the emperor's sister-in-law? Why can't she even see anyone? Could it be that the imperial physician is trying to deceive you?"

Emperor Chen's words did not dispel Princess Mingyu's thoughts, she still wanted to visit Fengyang Palace.

"I don't know if the imperial physician will deceive people, but I will not deceive you, you can rest in the pavilion near the Lotus Hall, and it will be convenient for you to come to the Lotus Hall. If you need anything, just ask the palace staff to do it. "

Not wanting to dwell on this issue for too long, Emperor Chen changed the topic. Although Princess Mingyu was still a little unwilling to give up, she also knew that she would never see the queen.

In desperation, he had no choice but to respond, and walked out of the hall with the palace servants.

After Princess Mingyu left, Lu Zhaoyi stood up straight. Now that she was doing better, she didn't need the emperor to continue to support her.

"Does the emperor still have to go to court?" Su Qingning also stood up straighter, she looked at Emperor Chen and asked him.

"The morning court still has to go. Shen Yu and his wife will come into the palace today, and then you will entertain them." Anyway, the two of them were married by the emperor, and the thank you part is indispensable.

"The concubine knows, so let's arrange it in Yuxiu Palace, what does the emperor think?" It stands to reason that it is not appropriate, but right now is considered an extraordinary period, so naturally it should be dealt with urgently.

"Just do as you said. Don't take too long. After lunch, let them go out of the palace. You have to rest for a while, and you have to kneel for a few days." Kneeling for a few days, although Emperor Chen ordered the chief supervisor of Qin Tianjian, but these three days are always unavoidable.

"Don't worry, your Majesty, I know what's in my heart." Nodding, Su Qingning and Lu Zhaoyi walked towards the outside of the Lotus Hall. The emperor was going to the morning court, so naturally he couldn't go with them.

Seeing the two of them leaving the Lotus Hall, Emperor Chen looked back at the coffin of the Empress Dowager in the hall. After a while, he turned around and walked out of the hall.

After leaving the Lotus Hall, Su Qingning and Lu Zhaoyi got into sedan chairs and headed towards their own palaces. They knelt all night, they were exhausted, and they didn't have much time to chat with each other.

Back at Yuxiu Palace, Su Qingning was pleasantly surprised to find that Nanny Chen had already prepared everything. She ate, took a hot bath, and lay comfortably on the bed.

Because she was going to have dinner with Shen Yu and his wife at noon, she specially ordered that with Nanny Chen here, she didn't need to worry about anything.
