The best princess

Chapter 138
Fu Youran stood up, looking a little excited and struggling, and said to Li Ze: "You... you should take me there now."

Li Ze frowned lightly, and an imperceptible look of embarrassment flashed across his face, Qi Yibei's eyebrows twitched slightly, and his eyes seemed to be inadvertently cast towards Concubine Bao who stood silently aside.

Because Fu Youran was concerned about this matter, she was inevitably a little flustered, and she didn't notice anything unusual about Li Ze, but Qi Yibei was different.Concubine Bo was hesitant to speak, which made Qi Yibei even more convinced that there must be something hidden in it.

If what Li Ze said is not true, then what is he hiding?Is Fu Youran's biological mother really still alive?
"Youran." Qi Yibei said gently, "Pregnant women should not be overworked. You have just returned to Beijing, so you should go back to rest and see the imperial doctor to check on the child's condition. As for your mother's mausoleum, it is not too late to go in a few days, so as not to waste It’s bad for your health when you see it.”

Fu Youran was really conflicted. On the one hand, she didn't want to believe that her mother was such a person, but on the other hand, she wanted to see her, even if it was just a tombstone.

After listening to Qi Yibei's words, Li Ze raised his hands in agreement, just said "exactly so", but was stopped by Qi Yibei's eyes, and then he realized that he should not be too eager, so he stopped, and couldn't help but Qi Yibei was secretly grateful, if the empress really wanted to go now, tell him where to prepare Huangfu Bing's mausoleum.

Under Qi Yibei's persuasion, Fu Youran nodded, "Alright then, I...I'll go back first, Li Ze, and immediately call General Gu and Li Peishan back to Beijing, I want to see them."

Li Ze quickly said yes, Fu Youran lost her mind anymore, turned around and walked out, Concubine Bo looked at Fu Youran's back, with water in her eyes, her expression was full of reluctance.When Fu Youran walked to the door, she suddenly turned her head. Concubine Bo quickly put away the emotions she shouldn't have, and returned to her indifferent appearance.

Fu Youran looked at Concubine Bo for a long time, and said, "Your Majesty, have you ever been married to my mother?"

Concubine Bo's beautiful eyes were downcast, she was silent for a while, and when she opened her mouth to speak again, her words choked up, "You...you can call me... Auntie."

As soon as these words came out, Li Ze felt anxious and anxious, and this state was instantly suppressed after meeting Qi Yibei's gaze. Li Ze realized that he must not behave too much in this situation. Excited, he glanced at Qi Yibei with a complicated expression, and then turned his gaze to Concubine Bo, for fear that she would say something that should not be said again.

Noble Concubine Bo ignored her manners and shed tears on the spot. Fu Youran was both surprised and happy, and walked over quickly, looking at her carefully, "Auntie?"

This soft call made Concubine Bao cry out, holding Fu Youran's hand, "Youran...Youran..." The crying made people feel sad.

Everyone present must have mixed feelings, except for one person, Ling Chuxia.

She was very happy, one of the historical facts she knew was finally true, Concubine Bo was indeed related to Empress Fu Chu, this is a controversial topic in later generations, and now she has actually confirmed it with her own eyes.

Fu Youran was very excited, and tightly held Concubine Bo's hand. Concubine Bo cried for a while, then raised her head and said to Li Ze: "Mr. Li, please go out with Qiantui, let's talk."

Li Ze immediately said: "Miss Bo, just say what you have to say." But his body did not move.

Concubine Bo sighed, "Just don't worry, I won't let the emperor get too excited, I'm more concerned about her body than anyone else."

Li Ze still hesitated, but his body moved, Qi Yibei half dragged him out of the door, then turned around and said, "Youran, I'm right outside."

Fu Youran nodded, keeping her eyes on Concubine Bo. Although Ling Chuxia wanted to stay in the palace and continue to witness history, she still followed the time and slipped out.

The door of the palace was closed gently, Fu Youran was extremely nervous, there was slight sweat on the palm of his hand, and his mouth was tied, "You, you..."

Concubine Bo calmed down, smiled, opened Fu Youran's hand, wiped the sweat from her hand with a handkerchief, raised her hand again, and stroked Fu Youran's hair, "In a blink of an eye, you will grow so big gone."

Fu Youran looked into her eyes, "You... have seen me before?"

Concubine Bo nodded, with a sad look on her face, "I... saw you when you were very young."

"Where is it?" Fu Youran asked, "In Chu State?"

Concubine Bo smiled, as a tacit consent, and then Fu Youran asked the doubts in her heart, "Isn't my mother called Huangfu Bing? Why is my aunt's surname Bo?"

"That's... your grandmother's surname is Bo." Concubine Bo said flatly: "After your mother and... ran away, your grandpa and grandma severed ties with your mother and left Yunjing, and I... because of the relationship with you Your mother's similar appearance was favored by the late emperor, so she was greedy for glory, left her parents, and stayed in the palace, and because Huangfu's surname was shamed by the royal family, so she changed her surname to Bo."

Only then did Fu Youran understand, but she also didn't understand why she seemed to disdain herself in the mouth of Concubine Bo.After thinking about it again, she probably felt this way because she left her parents and stayed in the capital. Thinking about it this way, she felt very uncomfortable, so what about her mother?
"Where are grandpa and grandma now? Does my aunt know?"

Concubine Bo shook her head, "Our Huangfu family was originally a commoner, and it was the greatest honor for our parents to be married to the royal family, but then something like that happened, although the court did not pursue it, but they finally left without shame. Afterwards, I stayed in the palace regardless of the shame, which made the two elders unacceptable, and since then there has been no news, until now, I don't even know if they are alive or dead."

Seeing this, some people may ask, the Huangfu family is a commoner, how could it be chosen by the royal family? In fact, in some dynasties, in order to fear that the queen's family would become too powerful and their relatives would gain power, when choosing queens and concubines, they often chose among the commoners. The in-laws are easy to control, and it is not easy to make troubles.

Fu Youran let out a long sigh, her mind was very chaotic, she thought of her grandfather and grandmother whom she had never met before, her mother, her father, and finally Concubine Bo, who was full of contradictions.No wonder Concubine Bo is so mysterious. Even the people in the palace can't tell her origin. It turns out that her identity itself is a scandal. The princess eloped and her parents left Beijing in shame. Get out, and the royal family will usher in another scandal.

Exhaling, Fu Youran suddenly felt a little tired, pulled herself together and asked, "Auntie, what kind of person is my mother?"

Concubine Bo did not answer, but instead asked, "In your mind, what kind of person is your mother?"

Fu Youran replied almost immediately: "She must be very beautiful, very gentle, loves to laugh, loves me, and also loves my father..." At this point, she choked up, she had always thought this way before, but Now?

The corners of Concubine Bo's eyes were shining again, and she slowly shook her head, "Now you should know that she is not what you think at all, she is selfish, that's why she ran away with you...your father, and she couldn't bear the hardships and abandoned her husband Zi returned to the state of Chu and became the laughing stock of everyone."

"She must have other reasons!" Fu Youran stood up abruptly, "I don't believe she is that kind of person, if she really was, my father would not have been thinking about her all the time, and he would not have been thinking about her until he died. He wanted me to come back to Chu, but he didn't want me to inherit the throne, but he wanted me to come back to see my mother."

Concubine Bo sat there blankly, her face full of disbelief, her voice trembling, she said cautiously: "He...he really said that?"

Fu Youran wiped away the tears from her face and nodded, "He wanted me to come back, but Brother Shan and Brother Gu didn't tell me, I didn't know until recently."

Concubine Bo nodded repeatedly, wanting to smile, but tears flowed uncontrollably, so she could only nod.Suddenly she stretched out her hand to press her left chest, and pulled the clothes on her chest into a ball, her breathing became short of breath, and her face was frighteningly pale.

Fu Youran was shocked, she quickly supported her, and shouted towards the door, "Old Qi!"

Qi Yibei rushed in almost immediately, and was startled when he saw what the palace saw. Li Ze, who was following behind, hurriedly turned around and ordered the imperial doctor to pass. Yes, before the imperial physician came, Concubine Bo came back to her senses, panting and waved her hands, "Don't bother the imperial physician, it's an old problem."

Li Ze saw the opportunity and said: "Your Majesty, let's leave first, so that Concubine Bo can rest well, if you have anything to say, we can talk about it another day."

Fu Youran looked at Concubine Bo worriedly, "Auntie, you'd better take a break and let the imperial doctor take a look at it later."

Concubine Bo nodded, "I also ask the emperor to go back and have a good rest, and find another day, and then I will pay my respects to the emperor."

Seeing that Concubine Bo was safe, Fu Youran was relieved a little, walked a few steps, then stopped suddenly, Qi Yibei hurriedly said: "Are you not feeling well?"

Fu Youran smiled and shook her head, followed Qi Yibei out of the palace, and brought Ling Chuxia and others back to Baidi Palace.

From that day on, Fu Youran had something on her mind.Because she is pregnant, naturally she can't work too hard, leaving all the important affairs of the country to the old man Li Ze, and whenever she has time, she will go to live with Concubine Bo, and Concubine Bo will often make some heart supplements and send them over. She is very caring for Fu Youran , the relationship between the two became deeper and deeper, but Qi Yibei was secretly worried, and even talked a lot less than usual.

Fu Youran's attention was completely focused on Concubine Bo, and Qi Yibei was unaware of her emotions. Not only that, she even clamored to visit her mother's tomb a few days ago, but then she didn't mention it.

This made Li Ze heave a sigh of relief, but he had a new trouble. As soon as Ling Chuxia saw him, he secretly asked him where the tomb of "Huangfu Bing" was.

After two months like this, it was already July, and Fu Youran was already more than five months pregnant, and her stomach was already full.Brother Shan and Brother Gu have already returned to Beijing, but Fu Youran has not summoned them. In Fu Youran's words, she is not ready yet. We don't know what the result of the verification is. We only know that Qi Yibei never mentioned this matter after he came back, and he took more care of Fu Youran, making others envious.

What about Fu Youran?Apart from lazily basking in the sun every day, he just got together with Concubine Bo, chatted and chatted every day, and even learned how to make small clothes, which shocked Qi Yibei very much.
