Chapter 397

Xiyu looked at the plaque of Huade palace shining in the sun and sighed softly, "Lord, why did you come back to this place again? Didn't you go out by the emperor?"

"Yes. How did I come back here again," Chu Chengxun's eyes slowly darkened. "I just listened to the emperor's words. Then I obediently ran over, as if something had happened to my wife. I didn't dare to delay for a moment."

Xiyu looked at him for a long time in silence. "Lord, you seem to be bewitched now. You are completely fooled by the emperor and the queen. Love is really blind and people can't see it clearly."

Chu Chengxun's eyes became deeper and deeper. He stared at him faintly and said, "you're right. When did I become so blind? The more I admire Liu Yuan at this time, the more sober a woman is. I'm just led away by others. Now I've come to this point. It's ridiculous."

"The prince has arrived at the gate of ward palace, and it's useless to say these." Xi Yu looked at the palace far away from the noise. "Now wait for the queen to read the letter."

Chu Chengxun frowned and said, "I don't know if she will follow us. The emperor hasn't told her about it. What if she doesn't want to do it?"

"I don't want to. Just go back to your house. You shouldn't have been involved in this matter. Although your position is lower than that of the emperor, you are the emperor's uncle. Such an identity can still form repression. You can't follow him too much."

"Even uncle Huang has to bow his head in front of him. He can't say enough," Chu Chengxun frowned. "I'm only doing it for the last time. There will definitely be such a thing in the future. When the prince is born, I'll leave Kyoto immediately, find a place to live, and ignore the chores in the palace."

Xiyu pursed his lips. "The Lord must remember this. You once said such things to your slaves, but this time it came. Can't you let go of such things as feelings for the Lord?"

"I don't want to let go. I hate that they fool me like this and play me like a monkey. At the same time, I have to come obediently," Chu Chengxun raised a bitter smile on his lips. "I just want to let go. Now I really want Liu Yuan to scold and wake me up."

Xue ronghua pulled the letter paper line by line. After reading it, her face was much pale. Her hands trembled and almost tore the letter paper. In a trance, she asked, "why did the emperor write a letter to me? Why didn't he come to see me? He should make it clear to me in front of me."

The little eunuch explained in some panic: "if you go back to your mother, the slave doesn't understand."

Linglong patted her on the back and asked softly, "it may be the messenger of Xirong. The Emperor sees that her mother is pregnant and hopes that her mother can live outside the palace. In this way, it will be safer and protect the birth of the little prince."

Xue ronghua tightly grasped the letter paper and kneaded it into a ball. "Why doesn't the emperor come to see me in person and ask the king to come over. Please go over to me and invite the emperor. I'll hear what he said with my own ears before I go out of the palace with the king, otherwise I'll stay in the ward palace and won't go anywhere."

Linglong saw that the little eunuch was a little embarrassed. As soon as she reached out to drive him out, she lowered her voice and said to her, "don't worry, madam. If the emperor can say these things to you face to face, he will definitely come to ward palace. The reason why he didn't come is that he was afraid that the scene of parting was too difficult. He didn't have the heart to separate from her, so he didn't come."

"What is this? Why did the emperor send me out of the palace? What did I do wrong?"

Linglong hurriedly said: "The empress didn't do anything wrong, but the emperor did it for the sake of the empress. Think about it, there are still people from Xirong in the palace, especially the princess Gu. She dreams of becoming a queen. If Xirong envoys know that the empress is pregnant, they will set a trap. The emperor must not let the empress fall into such danger."

Xue ronghua calmed down and rubbed his eyebrows distractedly. "Is the king of appearance outside?"

Linglong opened the curtain and looked outside. "The king is waiting for his mother outside the palace on horseback. All the slaves and maidservants here are ready. Does the mother say on the letter paper, when will you return to the palace?"

"He said it was near summer, when I was going to give birth," Xue ronghua's eyes slowly darkened. "Doesn't that mean I can't see the father of my baby in October?"

Linglong turned her eyes. "If you want to know clearly, the Emperor may have thought about sending away the Xirong people at that time. In this way, you don't have to worry about anything when you come back."

Xue ronghua pondered for a moment and said in a deep voice: "You have remembered what I told you. Since Princess Gu will not leave until next summer, you must not miss this opportunity. You must help the emperor secretly. There can only be one master of the ward palace. For all sake, you can't make her the queen of the state of Qin, or the state of Qin will be destroyed by the princess."

"Madam, don't worry. I'm everything in the back palace here. You just need to take good care of yourself outside the palace," Linglong pursed her lips. "The king of appearance specially pointed it out to you. He will take good care of you."

"It's OK for you to watch the back palace. It's just that the monk is in guimeng temple. I can go to where to find her. Feihong is still taken by him," Xue ronghua said, lifting his lips. "Then I'll follow the king. I still have to remember the emperor's words."

Liu Yuan pinched a newly sprouted willow silk and played with it. The spring breeze will soon warm the earth. This tender yellow willow bud is the best proof. Feihong looked at it strangely. He brushed his hand over the flying willows and couldn't help asking, "don't the monks love willows very much? How did they pinch off the newly sprouted willows? It's very precious."

"I really like willows, but in my eyes, they are just playthings to decorate life, just like those cats and dogs raised by aristocratic family ladies. They have no feelings," Liu Yuan said with a smile, "I always don't agree to take these sentimental species to heart. After all, they will disappear. Why do you care so much? They will spoil your interest."

"It's the first time I've heard such a strange theory," Feihong shook his head in some incomprehension. "The residents seem to be much more sober than others. They never sink into something, and so is their feelings towards the king."

Liu Yuan moved in his heart, frowned and looked at her, "what kind of king, did the queen say something to you?"

Feihong was self-conscious and said with a smile, "it's nothing. The lay doesn't have to be careful. It's just that when I gossip with the queen, I said something about you."

"I'm not careless. I'm just glad that the queen has become the head of the harem and has lived a good life. She has time to talk about other people's gossip," Liu Yuan smiled coldly. "The queen doesn't tell you that the king is interested in her, and I miss the king, so I like her and don't like her."

Feihong's face turned white for a few minutes. "Don't think so, monk. When it comes to your relationship with the queen, you shouldn't arouse such a gap. I'm really too talkative. Don't go to your heart."

"I didn't think much, just said a few words. The king often goes to ward palace, but the queen will never see him," Liu Yuan smiled, "It's just that he has become a servant of others for nothing. The king wants to do it. What does it have to do with me? Just look. Although the king has moved out of the palace now, the emperor and queen have something to find him. He will definitely come obediently. He can be regarded as the first loyal minister of the state of Qin."

Feihong smiled awkwardly and hurriedly found an excuse to go back to his room. "The resident is standing cold outside. I'll go in and make tea for the resident."

Liu Yuan turned his eyes. "The emperor came to see the queen several times. Do you often come to see her or come every few days?"

"It's about twice a month. It's less since the envoy of Xirong came, but he often sends things. The relationship between husband and wife can't be broken."

"The emperor still remembers the Queen's body. It's less twice a month," Liu Yuan nodded. "Can you make flower tea? I want to drink flower tea to moisten my throat."

Feihong said with a smile, "when I was in Huade palace, I often made flower tea for the empress. I'll make the kind the empress likes and try it for the lay."

"Thank you. It's hard. You came out of the palace to help me," Liu Yuan smiled at her. "It's really hard. Don't forget your credit when you go back to work."

Feihong was stunned. "Does the monk mean that he will never go back to the palace again?"

"I didn't say that," Liu Yuan flashed a strange look at the bottom of his eyes. "Let's talk about future things later."

The sedan chair bumped all the way on the stone road. Xue ronghua coughed a few times. His eyes still looked faintly out of the window. It was completely inappropriate for the prime minister to sit beside him.

Chu Chengxun was silent halfway, and finally couldn't help but open his mouth. "Listen to the emperor, you are pregnant. When did it happen and how did it come so fast? Even I don't know."

"How can you know outside the palace? Besides, I didn't let the emperor tell the news," Xue ronghua lowered his eyes. "It's really hard for you. You move out of the palace. I really shouldn't harass you. Now I'll trouble you again."

"It's nothing. It's the emperor's intention for me to take you out of the palace to have a rest. Where dare you not follow your orders," Chu Chengxun said with a bitter smile. "I heard that Princess Gu, one of the envoys of Xirong, wants to be a queen. I'm afraid they have any bad ideas about you, so I'm worried about your situation."

"Who wants to be the queen? In this way, all women in the world can be queens," Xue ronghua sighed faintly. "The emperor will soon be able to handle things well, so that when I come back, the child will be born, which is an auspicious time."

Chu Chengxun's complex eyes fell on her bulging belly. A trace of resentment flashed across his eyes, and he still kept a smile on his lips. "I just need to protect you and the prince in the next days. There's nothing else."
