The civil and military officials slowly walked out of the hall.

Xiao Xuan swept away his past decadence and walked out with a smile. Several ministers surrounded him and talked to him eagerly.

Xiao Yu fell behind with an expressionless face, and silently took note of the few people walking beside Xiao Xuan.

After leaving the hall, Master Su suddenly caught up, walked to Xiao Yu and whispered: "Prince, going to the imperial mausoleum may not be a bad thing."

His voice was very low, "Now that the Great Qi Dynasty has just been established, the emperor is afraid that people's hearts are unstable, and he will not abolish the prince for the time being. Prince, just go. If there is anything in the court, I am here."

Master Su didn't have to say this to Xiao Yu.

With his status, he didn't need to take sides at all.

However, he was a person who remembered favors. He had always been grateful for Gu Fei's life-saving grace, so he naturally wanted to help Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu nodded slightly, said softly, "Thank you, Master." Then he left quickly.

He was afraid that if he said a few more words with Master Su, it would be seen by someone with ulterior motives, which would implicate him instead.

Xiao Yu returned to the East Palace and asked people to pack their luggage.

Gu Fei hugged Xiao Chi and said in surprise: "Go to repair the imperial mausoleum?"

She thought about it and couldn't help but sneered, "It's true, those who are brave and strategic are in danger, and those who have made great contributions are not rewarded."

Gu Fei said that the rumor was true. Half of the territory of the Great Qi Dynasty was conquered by Xiao Yu.

At first, the emperor fought in person, but later, with the participation of Qin Guogong and his son, and the emperor also cherished his life, he did not lead the troops himself.

Of course, the greater the merit, the more displeased the emperor would be.

Xiao Yu looked at Gu Fei, feeling a little ashamed and distressed. He hugged them together and said softly: "I don't know when I can come back this time. I have to leave you alone again. I'm really worried."

Gu Fei tried to smile, "Don't worry, I will stay in the East Palace to take care of Xiao Chi and won't run around."

The palace servants quickly packed Xiao Yu's luggage.

The imperial mausoleum is more than a hundred miles away from the capital. Since the emperor said he would leave today, he had to leave immediately.

Gu Fei only sent Xiao Yu to the gate of the East Palace and then wandered around.

A few days later, Qin'er came back from outside and whispered, "Concubine Rong invited the imperial physician this morning. I heard that she is pregnant."

Gu Fei raised her eyebrows slightly, "She is lucky."

Qin'er whispered, "Zhang Jieyu has been favored the most times, but now there is no movement. Concubine Rong has only been favored twice and she is pregnant. She is indeed lucky."

Gu Fei asked, "Did she tell the emperor?"

Qin'er nodded, "As soon as the imperial physician left, she asked someone to report to the emperor."

"The emperor is very happy and rewarded many things to Concubine Rong's palace."

Gu Fei lowered his eyes, "This matter has nothing to do with us, we don't need to care."

The next morning, Gu Fei went to the Queen's Palace to pay respects.

The Queen's face was not very good, and her eyes slipped to Concubine Rong's belly from time to time.

The rest of Concubine Fang Shu, Concubine Zhang, and those beauties and nobles all looked at Concubine Rong with envy.

A few beauties of lower status came up to Concubine Rong and congratulated her flatteringly.

Zhang Jieyu almost bit her lips.

The emperor spent the most nights in her palace, so she was almost the only favorite, but her belly was not keeping up, and there was no movement until now.

She was hoping that she could improve her status with pregnancy, but Rong Fei got there first.

If Rong Fei gave birth to a prince...

Zhang Jieyu shuddered, and she remembered the emperor's words when he was working on her two days ago, "Give me a son."
