Chapter 339: Don't move

Kunning Palace.

In the flickering candlelight, Zhu Qiyu looked at Wang's mysterious look, blinked his eyes, and felt vaguely enlightened. He took Wang's hand and asked hesitantly.

"Is it possible that you and the emperor's sister turned a blind eye to this?"

As a royal princess, the eldest princess of Changde should be considered to be extremely well-educated, virtuous, virtuous, gentle and generous.

Even though she was raised pampered, she didn't have the temperament of a princess. Her Majesty was lenient and kind, and she treated her consort and his family with great respect and filial piety.

On weekdays, she didn't move around very much. If the Empress Dowager Sun hadn't dragged her into this matter, she would have been bored in the house painting and playing the piano every day.

Therefore, those who are close to Princess Changde can only be counted within ten fingers of each other inside and outside the palace, and they are all people who know everything about her.

Among these people, Wang was the only one who would say such a thing in front of Changde.

Mrs. Wang twitched her hand, but it didn't move, so she had no choice but to let him hold it.

Hearing this, she bulged her mouth in a rare gesture and hummed.

"How can I have the chance to turn a deaf ear to you..."

"The imperial sister did have some interactions with the concubine before, but that was all before. Since the concubine entered the middle palace, I don't know if the Queen Mother of the Shangsheng Emperor said something to the imperial sister. She and the concubine have become more and more estranged.

.”

"These days, we haven't even seen each other, let alone talked. Besides, I am now in the middle palace. If I say something to the imperial sister in private, Cining Palace will know about it within half a day. What's the use?

.”

Zhu Qiyu couldn't figure it out. If it wasn't the Wang family, could it be someone outside the palace?

Seeing his thoughtful look, Wang smiled playfully, lowered her voice mysteriously, leaned close to Zhu Qiyu's ear, and said.

"It's the royal sister-in-law!"

Queen Qian?

Zhu Qiyu's thoughts were a little far away.

But it wasn't because of the news, but because of the faint aroma wafting through his nose and the warm breath in his ears, which made his heart itch.

However, when he turned his head, he found that Mr. Wang had straightened up and was sitting there blinking at him, as if everything just now was just his illusion.

Suppressing the heat in his heart, Zhu Qiyu shook his head and said with some doubts.

"Don't lie to me. How could the emperor's sister-in-law tell such a thing to Changde?"

Zhu Qiyu also knew a little about Queen Qian's current situation.

He still had some respect for this royal sister-in-law, she was a pitiful person.

He also thought about changing her fate in her previous life.

But there are many things in the world that cannot always be satisfactory.

Although he had ordered the imperial doctor to take good care of Queen Qian's health, he couldn't bear it and insisted on tormenting her. She even regarded this as her sincerity to the Buddha.

In the end, I still couldn't escape the consequences of bad behavior and unclear vision.

But this is exactly what Zhu Qiyu is confused about.

This Queen Qian is a stubborn person.

Since the Emperor was captured and moved to the north, she has done almost nothing except chanting sutras and praying for blessings every day. How could she turn a deaf ear to Princess Changde for no reason?

However, after Wang's explanation, Zhu Qiyu finally understood.

After Empress Qian moved to Yikun Palace, she never left the front door or took a single step forward. She concentrated on praying in front of the Buddha.

But because of this, she gradually became a little transparent person with no sense of existence in the palace. Whether it was the Crown Prince's biological mother, Concubine Zhou, or the newly promoted Concubine Hang, the limelight was much greater than that of Queen Duanjing.

Although Empress Qian is said to be very low-key, she is not completely lonely.

At least Princess Changde, the eldest sister-in-law, felt very sorry for her sister-in-law. Almost every time she entered the palace, she would go and sit for a while to comfort and enlighten her.

Mrs. Wang blinked and said: "His Majesty told me to take care of the emperor's wife before, so when I have nothing to do, I will go to Yikun Palace to talk to the emperor's wife to relieve her boredom."

Looking at Mrs. Wang's innocent look, Zhu Qiyu couldn't help but feel happy. He reached out and pulled her, and the former fell into his arms. He gently pinched Mr. Wang's nose and said, "How dare you?"

Say it has nothing to do with you? Tell me quickly what’s going on.”

In the past, such slightly frivolous behavior would always arouse Wang's dissatisfaction.

But this time, although Wang's little face turned a little red, she did not move. She nestled obediently in Zhu Qiyu's arms and continued.

"My concubine really didn't do anything. The emperor's sister-in-law has a good relationship with the Supreme Emperor. In a few words, she can't be separated from the Supreme Emperor, and she can't say more than two sentences without shedding tears."

"My concubine is always distracted when she talks about other things, so I simply accompany the emperor's sister-in-law and tell some interesting stories about you and the Supreme Emperor when they were young to relieve the emperor's sister-in-law's boredom."

As he spoke, Wang's eyes flashed with a hint of cunning, and he said.

"Later, whenever these things were brought up, the emperor's sister-in-law would lament the deep brotherhood between you and the Supreme Emperor, and then look forward to the early return of the Supreme Emperor and the family reunion."

That’s how it turns out…

At this time, Zhu Qiyu finally understood.

Empress Qian was now worried about the Supreme Emperor who was far away in the north. She was powerless in national affairs. She also knew that whether the Supreme Emperor could come back or not was not something she could control.

Therefore, perhaps she herself did not realize that although she seemed to be chanting sutras and praying for blessings every day, she was actually subconsciously placing her hope on Zhu Qiyu.

Because she understood that only by using the power of the imperial court could she bring the Supreme Emperor back.

In this case, Wang told her interesting stories about the two brothers Zhu Qiyu and Zhu Qizhen when they were young. Without even any guidance, Queen Qian would beautify the relationship between them.

After all, the better the relationship between their brothers, the more Zhu Qiyu will work hard to bring Zhu Qizhen back.

She may not realize it, but she does it subconsciously.

Wang just said that Queen Qian is now basically not interested in topics other than the Supreme Emperor.

So Princess Changde must have said this when she went to visit her.

In this way, Qian's views will also unintentionally affect Princess Changde's views.

Because there was no deliberate effort in this process, even the investigation was completely impossible.

After all, from Queen Qian's perspective, she would never do anything detrimental to the Emperor.

Even Empress Dowager Sun herself firmly believed in this.

Of course, the reason why such a situation is formed is actually due to a combination of circumstances.

Empress Dowager Sun had always felt that Empress Qian was cowardly and looked down upon her daughter-in-law, so it was unlikely that she would reveal the plot with Empress Qian to Empress Qian.

Although Princess Changde knew about it, she kept her mouth shut and would not reveal the news. In addition, Queen Qian was busy praying and chanting scriptures every day, and was not even interested in knowing about the outside world. Naturally, she did not know about the many major events happening in the court today.

.

More importantly, before the Civil War, the relationship between the brothers Zhu Qiyu and Zhu Qizhen was indeed very good.

So Queen Qian's unintentional sigh was actually her true thoughts in her heart.

I have to say, this is really a coincidence, but...

Zhu Qiyu lowered his head, looked at the Wang family thoughtfully, and said: "The emperor's sister-in-law must not know about the major events that happened in the court, but you, Yun Niang, should know about them..."

Queen Qian's case was due to a lack of information, but although the Wang family was in the harem, they were well aware of all major court affairs.

Even in private, Zhu Qiyu didn't shy away from talking to her about the awkward relationship between himself and Zhu Qizhen.

Therefore, knowing this, Wang's conversation with Queen Qian cannot be regarded as unintentional.

Wang felt a little uncomfortable being stared at, so she nestled in someone's arms, twisted her body, buried her face, and said.

"I only figured it out later. My mother had asked me to talk to the emperor's sister-in-law about these things more often."

Zhu Qiyu's face was dark, but it was not because of Queen Qian's matter, but because Mrs. Wang snorted and crawled in and out of his arms, making him feel a little hot at this late night.

"Don't move!"

He stretched out his hand to hold Wang down, but saw that the latter's neck was red, his body tilted, and he fell on his shoulder.

The faint fragrance drifted through Zhu Qiyu's nose again, and the warm breath in his ears made him feel itchy.

"Your Majesty, the imperial doctor said when he checked for pulse yesterday that I can stop taking the decoction to recuperate my body..."
