Chapter 383 Reluctance

Chapter 140 Six: Reluctant

"But..." He Nanny thought for a long time, but didn't know whether she should say something or not.

"What's the matter?" After resting for a while, the Empress Dowager felt much more comfortable, and asked suspiciously when she saw He Nanny's hesitation.

Madam He seemed to have made up her mind, "Empress Dowager, there is a sentence that I don't know whether I should say or not. If there is something wrong, please forgive me."

Seeing He Nanny's nervous look, the Empress Dowager became even more curious, "What's the matter? You're nervous. I've been with the Ai family for so many years, do you still need to be as polite as the Ai family?"

He Nanny hesitated for a while, and finally said: "Your Majesty...in case the Emperor is really not...the concubine and the former emperor's child..."

"The Ai family knows what you are worried about," the empress dowager was very open about Murong Hao's identity, "but Hao'er grew up in this palace and has been emperor for so many years, he is dealing with some things It's not very appropriate, but we can all see his growth. If someone is good to help him, he will be a good king. At present, can you think of a more suitable candidate for the king?"

The Empress Dowager's words made Mother He no longer know what to say, after a long silence, Mother He still couldn't help worrying, "Should we just sit and watch Dowager Bo and Dongfang Qiu's son rule my Daqi world? We watched the emperor grow up, and this servant has no second thoughts about him, but this servant is afraid that something will happen between Dongfang Qiu and Concubine Bo, at that time, the consequences may be disastrous."

The Empress Dowager sighed, and her increasingly haggard and aging face became even paler, "What you are worried about is exactly what the Ai family is worried about. Now I can only take one step at a time. I hope that Concubine Bo can understand her identity and don't do it." Let the people of Daqi suffer."

The Empress Dowager thought of Chen Xi again, and told Mother He: "When you go to see Chen Xi tomorrow, Ai's family will also go."

In the early morning of the next day, when Chen Xi was still asleep, the Empress Dowager and Nanny He had already arrived at the prison.

All the jailers couldn't understand all this. Since Chen Xi is the one who can't be caught, don't catch her. If she is caught and won't let her go, she will still be served with food and drink. This is no prison, it's obviously a place to enjoy happiness.

Some jailers even whispered behind their backs, saying that those with good fortune would be served with poultry, duck, fish, and fresh fruits even in prison.People with bad luck will not be able to go well even if they become concubines.

The jailer wanted to wake up Chenxi, but the empress dowager stopped the jailer's movement and asked the jailer to retreat first.

Chen Xi slept on a small temporary bed. The bed was covered with soft quilts, and the cotton wadding used was fresh and full of sunlight, and the quilt was also made of expensive fabrics.Moreover, not only did the cell not have a trace of weird smell, but instead exuded a faint sandalwood fragrance.

Nanny He was also stunned, and it was incredible that Chen Xi was in prison.In the whole world, I am afraid that no one can enjoy such treatment in a cell.

Seeing Chen Xi sleeping soundly, looking at Chen Xi's slightly pouted pink mouth, the empress dowager felt warm in her heart, she really wanted to hold Chen Xi in her arms and love her dearly like Chen Xi did when she was a child.The empress dowager walked into the cell lightly, and came to Chenxi's bed. Chenxi's sleeping posture was a little messy, the quilt was not covered properly, but hugged into a ball, and she pulled a corner to her body when she felt cold, Whether it works or not, continue to sleep.

It had been a long time since Madam He had seen such a warm smile on the Empress Dowager's face, her nose was slightly sour, and her eyes were wet.

The Empress Dowager stretched out her hand, and carefully brushed the slightly messy strands of hair on Chen Xi's face.

Chen Xi suddenly opened her eyes, "Who!"

Chen Xi's sudden reaction startled both the Empress Dowager and Nanny He.After Chen Xi saw the person in front of her clearly, a surprised smile appeared on her frightened face, "Empress Dowager!"

Chen Xi couldn't help but hugged the Empress Dowager, her eyes immediately became moist.

The empress dowager's eyes were also moistened by Chen Xi's sensationalism, "My child, I made you suffer."

Chen Xi raised her eyes and looked at the Empress Dowager carefully, "Chen Xi wanted to come to the palace with mother to meet the Empress Dowager several times, but the workshop has a lot of things to do, so I can only stay in the workshop. Dad also said it for a long time I haven't seen the Empress Dowager, I really want to see the Empress Dowager."

The empress dowager nodded, "Seeing that your family is safe and sound, the Ai family feels relieved."

Chen Xi pouted slightly, "The empress dowager's words are too far-fetched, you and we are a family."

The empress dowager quickly corrected, "Okay, the Ai family will change their words now. Seeing that our family is safe and sound, the Ai family will feel at ease."

"It's almost there."

Chen Xi nestled in the arms of the Empress Dowager just like she did when she was a child, making the Empress Dowager love her so much.

He Nanny who was on the side was very moved, "Empress Dowager, Chen Xi is almost growing into a big girl, yet she still relies on you like she did when she was a child."

Chen Xi wiped away her tears, and also found it strange, "In front of my mother, I always want to prove that I have grown up. In front of the Empress Dowager, I don't want to prove at all. Instead, I really hope that I don't grow up so quickly."

The Empress Dowager patted Chen Xi's back, "If you want to rely on Ai Jia, you can rely on Ai Jia more. Seeing Chen Xi grow up day by day, Ai Jia's heart is warmed."

Chen Xi frowned slightly, staring at the Empress Dowager, "But when Chen Xi grows up, the Empress Dowager will grow old. Chen Xi doesn't want the Empress Dowager to grow old, Chen Xi wants to be with the Empress Dowager forever."

The empress dowager laughed, and looked at Nanny He, "You say this child is so sweet, let alone the emperor, even the Ai family is reluctant to let this child go back."

"What?" Chen Xi looked at the Empress Dowager in surprise.

Only then did the Empress Dowager realize that she had said something wrong, and quickly changed her words, "Aijia said, Chenxi is so painful, no one would be willing to leave you. If Chenxi likes it, she can often come to Aijia's bedroom in the future. You like orchids, and Aijia has already had several orchids raised, all of which are strange varieties."

Nanny He chimed in: "Yes, those orchids are growing very well, and they will bloom in two or three months. Chenxi can't let down the empress dowager's wishes."

Chen Xi nodded.

Suddenly, Chen Xi thought of something, raised her head suddenly, and almost hit the empress dowager's chin, seeing that the child was still as lively as when she was a child, both the empress dowager and Nanny He smiled lovingly.

Chen Xi prayed and said to the Empress Dowager: "Empress Dowager, can you take Chen Xi out? Chen Xi is afraid that mother will worry. Besides, the workshop has a batch of pears to be sent to the grassland. If there is a delay, the canned food will taste bad. "

Chen Xi's words made the empress dowager a little embarrassed, she just came to see Chen Xi, and did not intend to let Chen Xi out.If you want to let Chen Xi go, the emperor has to speak up in person, if you let Chen Xi go in a nonsensical way, what is the difference with Bo Taifei?
Seeing that the Empress Dowager was in trouble, He Momo said to Chen Xi first, "Chen Xi, it's not that the Empress Dowager won't help you, but that Concubine Bo threatened the Emperor with her own life. Piety is the first thing in everything, and the Emperor is not good. Chen Xi, You see, your life is not worse than that of concubines. It is rare enough to be able to sit like this in prison."

Chen Xi pouted, "I'm still a little homesick, Mother He, the thing about Concubine Bo is really a misunderstanding, we..."

The empress dowager hugged Chen Xi, "Silly boy, how could we not know? The emperor also believes in you, but Aijia doesn't know how to deal with this matter for a while. But Aijia will assure you, never Let anyone hurt you, if someone has a wrong mind, unless she steps over Aijia."

"Empress Dowager..."

The empress dowager's words moved Chen Xi very much. Chen Xi cuddled up to the empress dowager tightly, and the two of them hugged so tightly.

Nanny He on the side couldn't help but burst into tears. Nanny He had put all the responsibility on Concubine Bo, not only because Concubine Bo should be responsible for this matter, but also because Nanny He really didn't want to let Concubine Bo Chen Xi leaves the Empress Dowager.The moment the Empress Dowager saw the dawn, the happiness in her eyes was something Mammy He hadn't seen for many years.

This is indeed selfishness, but for the sake of the Empress Dowager, Mother He is willing to be selfish for a while.

When Murong Huaide heard about Chen Xi's treatment in the palace, he couldn't help joking: "This child is lucky."

Dong Rong was unhappy, "Not only are you not in a hurry, but you are also very relaxed. What kind of life is good, how can a father say that his daughter's life is good if he goes to jail?"

Murong Huaide hugged Dong Rong from behind Dong Rong, "The empress dowager is right, the emperor deliberately did not let Chen Xi come back, maybe he has his own considerations."

"What consideration? I don't care what he thinks, but I can't use my daughter as a sacrifice. It's not that he doesn't know where the cell is, how can he keep Chenxi there? No matter what reason or excuse he has .He's just a kid, and he can't understand the feelings of being a parent, but he should also have the most basic conscience, right?"

The more Dong Rong talked, the more anxious she became.

Murong Huaide became anxious again when he saw Dong Rong who had finally calmed down, and quickly said: "Actually, the emperor didn't think about it. Concubine Bo took her into the palace. I thought that Chenxi really committed a crime, and the emperor let her back because of the pressure from our Zhongshan Palace. Besides, this is Murong Hao's rebellion against Concubine Bo. If Concubine Bo wanted to catch Chenxi, he just opposed it. Good morning, Chen Xi, let Concubine Bo know that she is just a concubine, not the emperor of Daqi, and she can't cover the sky with one hand. Third, this kid is probably interested in Chen Xi."

When Murong Huaide said this, he saw that Dong Rong was about to get angry, so he quickly added, "Of course, I can't let this kind of thing happen."

Dong Rong said to Murong Huaide: "I don't want to interfere too much with Chen Xi's life events, but she is still too young, and I, a mother, must protect Chen Xi to prevent Chen Xi from being hurt by bad guys like Murong Hao. "

"Well, it is."

Murong Huaide catered to Dong Rong like they did in Cao's village. Dong Rong couldn't help laughing when he saw Murong Huaide pretending to be silly, and his chest didn't feel so tight.

After calming down for a while, Dong Rong couldn't help becoming worried again, "Will Concubine Bo give up because of this? Huaide, when do you think Chen Xi will be able to get rid of Concubine Bo's attention?"

Murong Huaide is also most worried about this matter, "Chenxi is too inexperienced in dealing with people, especially with people like Dowager Bo. Chenxi always thinks that she is perfect in disguise as a man, but she doesn't know that the emperor and Dowager Bo When people see through, Concubine Bo's plan to arrest her must be to take Chen Xi's life."

"I just said that this matter will not be so simple. In order to conceal Murong Hao's true identity, Concubine Bo must let Chen Xi take her life. What should we do? Huaide, we can't let Chen Xi have trouble."
