The emperor adjusted his sleeves and chuckled. "This Third Brother, why is he in such a hurry to leave? It seems that there's someone chasing after him."
The queen was still looking down, oblivious to his words.
The Emperor frowned slightly as he forcefully suppressed the displeasure within his heart. "Third Brother, why have you come to look for the Empress?"
"Your Majesty heard it too. The Prince Chu came to visit."
The emperor smiled, his hand held behind his back as he walked step by step towards the empress. "Third brother is rather considerate towards the empress."
The empress raised her eyes and looked at the emperor quietly. "Did the emperor hear all the rumors outside?"
The Emperor pretended not to know. "What rumors and rumors?"
"Since the emperor doesn't know, it's better if he doesn't. It's to avoid adding to our troubles."
"If the empress doesn't say so, then I am rather curious. What kind of rumors and hardships are these?"
"Does the Emperor really not know?"
"I really do not know." Perhaps it was because the empress's eyes were too clear that the emperor did not dare to look straight at her for a moment. He turned around and sat down on a chair.
The empress sighed inwardly. "It's just some nonsense. Does Your Majesty believe that your concubine and Prince Chu met that night at the fake mountain?"
"Nonsense!" The Emperor growled, the veins on his forehead bulging. His rage was not an act, and he gritted his teeth as if wanting to kill someone. "Who taught him this, I'll chop him up!"
"Chenqie told the emperor not to listen, but to make him angry instead."
The emperor stared at the ground with his weak eyes. A ray of sunlight was shining on it, and one could vaguely see some golden light sprinkling onto the black tiles. He bit the back of his mouth, as if his anger couldn't be quelled.
The empress looked at him. "The emperor can't really suspect that there's something going on between chenqie and Prince Chu, right?"
"Of course not," the emperor suddenly became clear-headed and forced out a smile, "Even if we can't trust the Prince Chu, how can we not trust the empress?" He went over and sat beside the empress, holding her hand. "This Emperor will thoroughly investigate this matter. I will definitely restore your innocence."
The emperor's hand was a little cold, and also a little moist. The empress held him back. "Is the emperor cold? Is his hand so cold?"
The Emperor withdrew his hand and tucked the thin blanket in for her. "I am not cold. You should rest well. When you are free, I will come to see you again."
"Your majesty needn't worry about chenqie. Chenqie's body is very weak. I'm afraid I won't be able to see you in the next few days. Your majesty should take care of yourself."
"Let's not talk about this between husband and wife. As long as you are well, it will be my fortune." The king lightly patted on the queen's shoulder and sighed softly. Then, he turned around and left.
The empress leaned back on the couch and watched the emperor's retreating form. Her eyes gradually filled with mist.
When the Emperor and Empress spoke, no one dared to scratch him. When the Emperor left, the close-combat Palace Maid only dared to enter in the spring. Seeing the Empress like this, she was shocked, "Empress, what happened to you? But what's wrong? "
The empress blinked, tears streaming down her face. She looked out the window and muttered to herself, "I'm afraid the sky's going to change."
"What did the Empress say?" Yingchun followed her gaze and said, "The weather is good today. It won't change."
Although Morong Han was a First Prince, in terms of talent, he was inferior to Crown Prince Morong Yuan. In terms of heartfelt character and shrewdness, he was inferior to Prince Chu Morong Gan, but fate had allowed him to sit on the Dragon Throne s. Since he wanted to be a good Emperor, she had risked his life to help him create a flourishing world.
Morong Han's eyesight was shallow, and his heart was a little narrow, but he was willing to change, willing to listen to her advice, and depending on her help in many things. When he was unable to make sense of the situation, she would read the imperial reports for him.
He could not wait to become the new emperor. In order to enlist in the Courtier, he had chosen to recruit a beautiful woman to the imperial harem, but she knew that he did not have any feelings for them. This was just a method in politics. She felt sorry for those women, but it was understandable that she should sacrifice a small part of her life in order to achieve great things. She tacitly agreed to his actions.
He relied heavily on Bai Rubing, but after the incident with Li Gang, his trust in the Prime Minister Bai decreased greatly. He fostered the Scholars to fight against the Prime Minister Bai in the Cabinet, and because of this, he forbade Prince Chu from leaving Xiu Yuanshuang's side.
She and the Prince Chu were actually the emperor's men. They were loyal to the core and would not hesitate to go through fire and water just for him. But how could he suspect her and Prince Chu? No matter who they suspected, they couldn't doubt her or Prince Chu. One was his wife whose hair was tied, the other was his own younger brother. Although their Tian Jia was indifferent, she had never been wrong in her entire life, and the Prince Chu was absolutely not disrespectful to him in the slightest.
He scolded the one who spread the rumors, but his hungry eyes betrayed his thoughts. He didn't believe her anymore. Perhaps he had never really believed anyone before!

Inside the warm Ruifu Palace, the Prince Yu laid out his shirt, revealing a large, flesh-colored chest. He lazily leaned on the bed, holding a luminous cup in his hand.
"My dear son, it's already the fourth day. This King has been squeezed dry by you, and you're still unwilling to let me out of the palace?"
Imperial Consort Bai turned her body and glanced at him, "What, do you think that I, the lord of the Prince Yu, am not good enough?"
"There's nothing better than this," Prince Yu thought that he was an experienced player in the wind and moon arena, but Imperial Consort Bai's methods had caused him to widen his eyes, "My child, where did you learn that? If the Royal Brother had you, wouldn't they die happily? "
Imperial Consort Bai's face sank. She wanted to make the emperor happy, but it was a pity that the emperor didn't come to her place for ten days or half a month. Before entering the palace, Madame Bai had specially sought the best uncle in the city to teach her some skills. She had learnt them, but they had not been used in the first place.
But... The emperor hasn't rested his head for a few days already. Does this mean that her chance is about to come?
Prince Yu looked at her and laughed: "Are you and Princess Chu really blood-related sisters? "It's too weird."
Imperial Consort Bai was not in a good mood, "Why are you bringing her up for?"
"The trap was set by you and the matter was done by me. Think about my situation, my darling. I'm risking my life for you!"
"What, are you afraid that Prince Chu will cause trouble?" The Imperial Consort Bai snorted, "With his temper, he should have gone to the Prince Yu Palace by now."
The Prince Yu disagreed, "If he can't find me, there's nothing he can do. I think he's just a junior who isn't trying to lower himself to his level. Otherwise … "At this point, he paused for a moment and nervously asked," Say, he wouldn't take it out on my treasures right? "No, I have to go back while the gate is still open."
Imperial Consort Bai sat without moving, "If you go back, the stones that were smashed would not be yours, but yours."
Prince Yu stood there hesitantly. Then, he suddenly heard a loud shout: "The Emperor has arrived!"
