Chapter 649

Under the tall palace eaves, the rare autumn sun was almost completely covered. Yang Jin stood behind Xie Chu, and the autumn wind blowing in the palace alley had already dyed a bit of winter chill, chilling the bones.

Not long after, I saw a slightly blurred figure from a distance, with a gray-green cloak on his head, dressed as a palace concubine, with low eyebrows pleasing to the eyes, and he couldn't see his face clearly.

When they got close, the man put down the cloak, revealing his true face, it was actually Hong Huiyue.

"His Highness King Yong is well." Apart from the clothes on Hong Huiyue's body, the hair accessories on her head were more grand and expensive, but her voice and smile were the same as before.

Xie Chu took a step back, took a look at her, and said in an unhurried, alienated and polite manner, "Now I should call Ning Jieyu, it is worthwhile to come to this palace."

Yang Jin was a little tongue-tied. He knew that Hong Huiyue had entered the palace and that Hong Huiyue would become a concubine, but he really didn't expect to be promoted so quickly.

Jieyu and the imperial concubine are only one step away. Many people would not be able to reach this position in the palace until their death, but Hong Huiyue ascended to such a high position in just a few days.

But even though it is only a step away from the door, it is not so easy to get over it. If you want to be promoted to the concubine, you must either have a family background, Hong Huiyue is naturally not qualified, and you can give birth to a prince. This prince has to be liked by His Majesty, but looking at the current situation At the age of the Holy Majesty, I am afraid that the heirs will not be reliable in the past, and I am afraid that they will be Jieyu in this life.

Yang Jin took a good look, then moved away as if it had nothing to do with her. Hong Huiyue didn't pay attention to him, she turned her screen back and forth, and then spoke.

"His Royal Highness, you guessed right. Your Majesty's body is not just as simple as losing money over the years. These days, Huiyue has been secretly recuperating, but something happened in the Prince's Mansion, and His Majesty is too worried."

She hesitated for a moment, bit her lips: "...I'm afraid it won't last long."

Xie Chu looked at her with deep eyes, a pair of phoenix eyes as deep as a cold pool: "It won't last long? My king saw that although His Majesty's spirit is a little weak today, he is still healthy."

Why can't it last long?
Hong Huiyue was overwhelmed by the hostility and coercion in his words, she turned pale, and then said with concentration: "His Royal Highness, Huiyue will never dare to hide anything, His Majesty looks healthy now. , but... it is already at the end of its strength..."

After she finished speaking, the surroundings were eerily quiet, except for the shrill crowing of jackdaws.

Hong Huiyue tilted her head, just in time to see her personal servant girl behind her who couldn't help looking this way, with an anxious expression on her face, and then bowed to Xie Chu: "Your Highness, I still have to pay my respects to the Queen Mother, so I will go ahead."

Xie Chu waved his hand, unconsciously followed Hong Huiyue and his party into the Queen Mother's palace with complicated and dignified expressions.

Yang Jin was also shocked by what Hong Huiyue said. His Majesty didn't know that Hong Huiyue knew medicine, so naturally he wouldn't hide it from her, and Hong Huiyue's medical skills are not bad, at least not to the point of misdiagnosis.

"Your Majesty, if..." Yang Jin hesitated to speak. If His Majesty dies, the crown prince will be the next emperor. At that time, Prince Yong's Palace and Huaiyin Palace will be completely destroyed. He has been by Xie Chu's side for so many years. It is impossible for the prince not to think of things that can be thought of.

Xie Chu was in a trance for a moment, and then quickly came to his senses. Hong Huiyue had already come out of the Empress Dowager's palace.

"I'm afraid some things have to be done a little earlier." He darkened his face, with a sense of loss and determination in his eyes, the heavy prince's clothes on his body blended with the surrounding darkness, and the python on the robe opened its teeth and claws, looking startled: "God, what should I change?" gone."

Yang Jin looked at Xie Chu's back, and her heart was suspended for a moment, she didn't know what emotion it was.

Xie Chu entered the Empress Dowager's Palace, and saw the Empress Dowager dressed in ordinary clothes, trimming a pot of welcoming pine on the table with scissors, with a gentle and kind expression.

"Did you see Ning Jieyu?"

Xie Chu nodded, the Empress Dowager sent a nanny to wait outside the Fu'an Hall, naturally it wasn't really long time no see but she missed her.

Although he grew up in the palace, his bond with the Empress Dowager was not so deep. It was just that the Empress Dowager took pity on him for being alone, so she took care of him a little more on weekdays.

"See you." Xie Chu half-closed his eyes, his expression was indifferent, and he couldn't see his thoughts.

After his words fell silent, no one spoke again, and the only sound that could be heard in the huge palace was the sound of scissors pruning pine branches.

click...

click... click...

clack clack...

The voice became more and more urgent, and the listeners panicked.

"The Empress Dowager..." Mammy finally couldn't help but speak, her voice could not conceal her worry, her tone was hurried and depressing.

Xie Chu raised his head and saw scattered pine branches everywhere on the sandalwood round table where the welcoming pine was placed. The lush welcoming pine that he saw at the entrance is now bare on the top and has been cut beyond recognition.

With a bang, the Empress Dowager tightly clenched the scissors, supported the table weakly, gasped for breath, the corners of her eyes were red, and wrinkles piled up together, sweeping away the gentleness and grace just now, her face revealed a three-point depression. Live fiercely.

"The Ai family has stayed in this palace for so many years without asking questions, but they don't know that these people in the harem are so courageous that they have been drugging the emperor."

Xie Chu sent Hong Huiyue to the Empress Dowager, and it was the Empress Dowager who set up a bridge between Hong Huiyue and Emperor Jing'an. After all, she was the winner after fighting in the palace for so many years. Not a low score was given.

Hong Huiyue told Xie Chu the news, so naturally she would not hide it from the Queen Mother. Although Emperor Jing'an is not the Queen Mother's biological son, and the two of them don't have much mother-child relationship, but now that Emperor Jing'an has been poisoned for many years, how can the Queen Mother Tolerate?
"Queen Mother, don't get angry and hurt yourself." Xie Chu handed over a cup of warm tea with a calm and heavy tone.

Compared with the current Emperor Jing'an, this queen mother who has withdrawn from courtiers' vision for decades is more like a wise master. From Hong Huiyue's incident, it can be seen that if the queen mother has no intention of taking power, I am afraid that Emperor Jing'an may not be able to win the fight After this mother.

The queen mother closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and was supported by the nanny to sit down, and the scissors were thrown aside.

"Don't worry, the Ai family has a sense of propriety. This Dayu, that traitor and traitor wants to turn his hands into clouds and rain, and I'm afraid it's too early to think about it."

Her life is not so simple that she can drive west. If the next monarch does not secure the throne, she will not be able to close her eyes even if she dies!

After waving her hand, the Empress Dowager looked tired, but her spirits looked pretty good, and the determination between her brows could vaguely reveal some of the spirit of the year.

"Go back, if something happens, Aijia will send a message."

Xie Chu saluted, then withdrew, calmed down.

As long as the queen mother is still healthy, Dayu still has the backbone!
