Chapter 16 CFV Ch.16 Empress (1)

At this time, someone knocked on the door and reported outside, “Master, the Lord is here.”

When Empress Wei heard this, the corner of her lips tilted up, not bothering to hide her happiness.

She immediately stood up and personally opened the door, welcoming him.

A man in his thirties wearing lake-blue brocade robe quickly walked in. His figure was tall and extraordinary, the golden sunlight sprinkled on him and made him appear a bit more gentle.

Qin Gui also looked over, thinking that he must be the emperor.

He was indeed the emperor.

When Empress Wei had someone to go to the imperial palace to summon an imperial physician, she also had someone report the situation to the emperor. When the emperor heard this, he hurried over.

“Rongrong, how’s Zhen’er?”

The emperor’s gentle look landed on the empress’ face.

Indeed, the girl looked extremely like the empress’ young self.

The emperor knew how good of a relationship Empress Wei had with her sister. Since she was suspicious, it was better to investigate this.

The emperor said, “Then let Zening investigate this.”

As they said this, the two walked into the inner room. Gu Zhen was still in deep sleep, his face a bit pale. He might’ve been startled, so he didn’t sleep steadily.

The emperor had someone summon the imperial physician in to take Gu Zhen’s pulse.

The emperor looked at his son’s peaceful expression, still having lingering fear. Heaven knew how his heart almost jumped out of his chest when he heard that Zhen’er had drowned.

Empress Wei stood by the side, gently recounting what happened with accuracy.

The emperor had grown up to the violence and scheming of the harem. Even more, he had gone through lots of twists and turns before ascending the throne. What happened today was clearly a conspiracy!

His face became extremely unwell when he thought of the Sixth Prince drowning within this icy cold lake for some unknown reason. “Rongrong, go investigate this. No matter who it is, I won’t let them go!”

The imperial physician kept to himself and pretended like he hadn’t heard the two’s conversation. He took Gu Zhen’s pulse seriously.
