Empress Fenghua

Chapter 264 Yan Ran's Death
Hanguang Hall.

Ye Congjia walked into the hall with a smile, and He Xiaoyu stood up clumsily holding his belly to greet him. "My concubine is free!" Ye Congjia gave He Xiaoyu a hand, smiling all over his face, "How do you feel today?"

"Just about to tell the emperor, this child has been very noisy these days!" He Xiaoyu puffed up his stomach and said innocently, "The emperor touches it, maybe the emperor misses his father!"

Ye Congjia smiled lovingly, reached out and touched He Xiaoyu's belly, with a look of surprise on his face, "It really is moving! You must be a prince if you are so naughty. Yan Shuhua was not like this when she was pregnant with Zhong'er." Lively and active, Zhong'er is also quiet and well-behaved. It seems that this child must be as lively and brilliant as Concubine Ai!"

He Xiaoyu pouted, "Does the emperor dislike his concubines and talk too much?"

Ye Congjia pinched the tip of He Xiaoyu's nose fondly, "If you are so good at acting like a baby, it would be fine if you gave birth to a prince, but if you were a princess, wouldn't I be overwhelmed?"

"Your Majesty~" He Xiaoyu shook Ye Congjia's arm coquettishly, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty said this about my concubines, and my concubines are not happy!"

Ye Congjia laughed loudly, "If my concubine is not happy, the emperor will not be happy, so wouldn't I be sad? Tell me, concubine Ai, how can I be happy?"

He Xiaoyu's gaze shifted, "The emperor's words are serious? No matter what the courtiers think, the emperor will agree?"

"I love my concubine, but it doesn't matter, as long as there is someone in the harem, I will naturally find it for my concubine." Ye Congjia hugged He Xiaoyu and sat on his lap.

He Xiaoyu hugged Ye Congjia's neck, "The last time I was in the empress's Yongning Palace, I saw the cakes that the empress gave Zhong'er were very tempting. I always want to eat something special when I'm pregnant. The concubine dares to ask the emperor to accompany the concubine to Yongning Palace to ask the empress for a reward!"

Ye Congjia laughed loudly, "It's just a piece of pastry, what's the problem? Come on, I'll accompany you right away! It's good for the emperor as well."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" He Xiaoyu was innocent.

Gu Shuangcheng sat on the phoenix chair with a cold face, and Hui'e hurried in with a smile on her face.Gu Shuangcheng was fiddling with the armor on his hand, and glanced at Hue, "What?"

Hui'e smiled meaningfully, "Madam, Yan Shuhua brought Prince Zhong to see her, and said that she agreed to adopt Prince Zhong to Madam!"

Gu Shuangcheng couldn't help but sit upright, "Why did she figure it out again? It seems that He Xiaoyu is really in a hurry!"

Hui'e nodded, "Your servant please invite Yan Shuhua in!"

Yan Shuhua led Zhong'er in and knelt on the ground, "Empress Empress, this concubine brought Zhong'er here today for the sake of Empress Empress adopting Zhong'er. A few days ago, I suddenly heard that mother and child are deeply in love and cannot be separated. Please forgive me for offending the empress! After thinking about it carefully, this is also a good way out for Zhong'er, the empress has always been considerate to her concubines. Your mother Yitianxia will definitely treat Zhong'er as her own!"

Gu Shuangcheng smiled and nodded, with a noble face, "Zhong'er, come, let the queen mother take a look!"

Zhong'er quickly ran to Gu Shuangcheng, "Zhong'er has seen the queen mother!"

"Be good, Zhonger, would you like to come to Yongning Palace to play in the future? There are a lot of delicious food here, and the queen mother will play with you, do you like it?" Gu Shuangcheng's face was full of kindness.

Zhong'er smiled and nodded with a pure face.A trace of reluctance flashed in Yan Shuhua's eyes, but she still forbeared in the end, "It seems that Zhong'er also likes Empress Empress very much!"

"Hui'e, take Zhong'er to play in the inner room, don't go outside, it's very cold outside!" Gu Shuangcheng ordered, and led Zhong'er out, but saw tears in Yan Shuhua's reluctant eyes.

Gu Shuangcheng was slightly unbearable, but it was fleeting, "Yan Shuhua seems to be a little excited!"

Yan Shuhua quickly restrained her emotions, wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, "The concubine has never been separated from Zhong'er, and she is really reluctant."

"Don't worry, I have no children under my knees. If you have a loyal son, Cheng Huan, you will treat him as your own!" Gu Shuangcheng took a sip of tea, "This has a bright future for Zhong'er. Think about it. I know that mother and child are connected, so I will arrange for you to meet Zhonger a few times every year!"

Yan Shuhua smiled slightly, "Thank you Empress Empress! The concubine has been in the palace for more than three years, and it is only thanks to Empress Empress to take care of her that she can get to where she is today. Now I have to thank Empress Empress!"

Gu Shuangcheng paused while holding the teacup, and smiled lightly, "When Wanyi entered the palace, it was because of County Lord Gaoyi that she ended up like this, otherwise you wouldn't have been allowed to enter the palace to experience the pain of separation between mother and child! Nian Wanyi has a reckless temper, but you are gentle, quiet, and decisive in killing and attacking. In fact, you are more suitable to stay in the palace! My Gu family and Nian are family friends, and you and I can be regarded as sisters who have known each other since childhood. In the palace Naturally, watch and help each other!"

"Watch and help?" Yan Shuhua smiled sadly, "The concubine's status is low, how can she watch and help the empress. The empress covers the sky with one hand in the harem, and the concubine's children can be taken away if they say so. The concubine is just a pawn brought by the empress. That's all! For the Gu family, for the Nian family, the concubine has already lost too much!"

"Lost? What does Yan Shuhua mean?" Gu Shuangcheng was slightly puzzled and annoyed, "As a son and daughter of the Nian family, how can you abandon the family and ignore it, not to mention how can you say that Zhong'er was taken away by me? Gong He once forced you."

Yan Shuhua sneered, "The empress did not force the concubine, even though the concubine was favored by the emperor as soon as she entered the palace, she jumped up and was named Shuhua. The concubine still remembers the first child she was pregnant with. Could it be that the empress do not remember?"

Gu Shuangcheng's face changed slightly, "What do you want to say?"

Yan Shuhua's eyes were full of ice-coldness, "Is the queen's empress replaced the coral bracelet of the concubine?" Yan Shuhua snorted coldly, "The coral bracelet given to the concubine by the emperor was replaced by the empress with musk. Pearl, isn't it?"

"You killed my child!" Yan Shuhua's face suddenly turned hideous, "You killed my child, and now you want to rob my loyal son, do you still have a conscience? My mother-child relationship for so many years, Can you feel it?"

Yan Shuhua glanced towards the outside of the hall, and a figure passed by.Yan Shuhua stepped forward and grabbed Gu Shuangcheng's sleeve, "Queen Empress, please don't take away my loyal son! Please! Only Zhonger is the only concubine. My child! Please let the concubine go!"

"What are you talking about!" Gu Shuangcheng threw Yan Shuhua away, "You let me go, Yan Shuhua must not be rude. When did I force Zhong'er? You agreed to adopt Zhonger to Bengong of!"

Yan Shuhua spit out a mouthful of blood with a puff, and sprayed it on Gu Shuangcheng's lapel, "Empress, Zhong'er is my only flesh and blood, please don't hurt Zhong'er, I know how important your son is to you, but the minister The concubine really cannot do without Zhong'er! The palace can kill the mother and take away the son, but please treat Zhong'er kindly!"

Yan Shuhua clutched Gu Shuangcheng's sleeve tightly, and with a puff, the blood splashed on Gu Shuangcheng's face like plum blossoms...

Gu Shuangcheng screamed, "Come here, come here..."

He Xiaoyu, who had just walked to the entrance of the hall with Ye Congjia, yelled in horror and passed out...

"Queen! What are you doing?" Ye Congjia roared angrily, looking at Gu Shuangcheng who was covered in blood.

Yan Shuhua begged weakly with a bloody look, "Your Majesty, please don't let the empress adopt Zhonger, there are only concubines, only Zhonger..."

Ye Congjia clenched her fists, "Gu Shuangcheng!"

Gu Shuangcheng stepped back in horror, "It's not a concubine, Your Majesty, it's not a concubine!"

"In order to consolidate your position, you killed your mother and seized your son. Now that Yan Shuhua has died in front of you, what do you have to argue?" Ye Congjia roared, "Come here, lock up the queen and wait for her punishment!"

Gu Shuangcheng cried, "Your Majesty..."
