The carriage was only stopped in front of the palace gate where Mother Xu handed a token to the guard.
Not far away, a figure in royal blue robe with gold embroidery was standing in front of the palace gates. He was tall, straight, and quite handsome. He was looking in the direction of the carriage in a daze. When he noticed the carriage, he subconsciously took a step but forcefully took it back.
After the carriage entered the palace gates, Qin Gui followed the empress onto the sedan which took them all the way to Fengluan Palace.
“Queen Mother...”
A small figure ran out of the palace, down the stone steps, and towards Empress Wei happily.
The boy’s fair and handsome face was full of undisguised joy. He was the sixth prince, Gu Zhen.
“Zhen’er,” Empress Wei also broke into laughter, she was laughing from her heart. “She is your cousin.”
“Cousin,” Gu Zhen cried sprightly. His big eyes flickered with curiosity as he looked at Qin Gui. He still remembers that Qin Gui had rescued him from the lake. He looked at her with an intimate look.
In the novel, the emperor and empress loved each other very much. During the ten years in his reign as the emperor, he had only picked once. He had only picked imperial concubine and consort of the four concubines. His harem was quieter than the other emperors of the Qi Dynasty.
Had the sixth prince not been young and of poor health, the courtiers would not have been fighting for picking his heir.
And the imperial concubine was the biological mother of the second prince, Gu Jing.
Qin Gui couldn’t help but recall the scene where the sixth prince fell into the lake. It was quite apparent if Gu Zhen died that day, the biggest beneficiary would have been the second prince, Gu Jing.
Over these days, Empress Wei must have been investigating the incident of Gu Zhen falling into the lake in addition to my life experiences. I guess Empress Wei is already suspecting imperial concubine and his son.
“Madam,” Mother Xu glanced at the sky and said with a smile. “Young Master Qin might still be waiting outside the palace gates, waiting for this kid.”
“Zening knows what to do.” Empress Wei raised her chin slightly as she ordered the eunuch in-charge, “Yu Ping, go and tell him that we will stay with Little Guy for some time.”
“Your slave obeys your orders.”
Fengluan Palace’s eunuch, Yu Ping immediately left the palace.
As soon as he went out, Yu Ping saw a glamorous woman in her early thirties kneeling outside the Fengluan Palace in thin clothes. Her slender figure trembled in the autumn wind.
Keep on pretending! Yu Ping snorted coldly as he walked past the imperial concubine quickly.
