When I woke up in the morning, my back was soaked, my hair fell out in handfuls, and I felt much older when I looked in the mirror.
"Then do you want to invite your father to come and see you?" King Qi asked.
Empress Chu waved her hands suddenly, her face suddenly turned pale, "No, no, absolutely don't want it."
Seeing her reaction, King Qi couldn't help but wonder, "Are you afraid of your father? Has your father ever blamed you?"
Empress Chu also knew that she had overreacted, and said politely: "No, your father is very busy, how can you ask him to worry about my health? Don't alarm him, it's not a big deal."
"Perhaps you are overworked. Please ask the imperial concubine to help you with the matters in the palace."
Empress Chu is silent. How can she take care of the affairs in the palace now? The imperial concubine is in charge.
As soon as the incident of Concubine Xian kidnapping the princess came out, the emperor reduced her and the imperial concubine's power. In addition, she was promoted to imperial concubine, and she was the crown prince's mother-concubine. Her status almost suppressed her as the queen.
"Well, about your choice of concubine..." Empress Chu looked at him.
King Qi said: "Let's not mention it now. We will talk about it later."
Empress Chu knew that he was stubborn, and if he really wanted to let his temper drag on, he might not be able to do anything until ten years later, so he simply said: "I can't wait any longer, I will prepare it for you in the middle of next month."
The middle of next month will be around the time when Yuan Yongyi and Wu Zhuangyuan get married.
King Qi sighed softly.
"If you complete your marriage as soon as possible, the queen mother will feel at ease." Empress Chu was particularly eager. She now felt that any happy event would dilute the emperor's suspicion of her.
The husband and wife can still be as harmonious as before, and the incident with the concubine has never happened.
Seeing that King Qi still didn't respond, she couldn't help but said angrily: "Who are you not marrying? Are you thinking of Chu Mingcui or Yuan Yongyi? Anyway, you can't marry these two people. In this case, you might as well listen to your mother and marry
A virtuous, virtuous, well-educated and well-known girl from a well-known family."
King Qi looked outside melancholy, yes, if the person he marries is not her, then what does it matter who he marries?
However, just when he was about to agree to his mother's promise, he suddenly felt that this was not good. Since he did not want to get married, if he married someone else, he would be left in the cold. Wouldn't it be another debt? Or he must not harm others.
.
So the King of Qi politely refused and left the palace after offending Chu.
Royal study room!
Emperor Ming Yuan usually reviewed memorials until midnight in the evening, so dinner was usually eaten directly in the imperial study. After dinner, he would first sip a cup of tea in Dongnuang Pavilion.
Eunuch Mu Ru crept in from outside, then stood beside Emperor Ming Yuan and waited for him to wake up.
Emperor Ming Yuan was not asleep, but just closed his eyes to rest. When he heard Eunuch Mu Ru coming in, he slowly opened his eyes and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Go back to the emperor!" Eunuch Mu Ru said softly, "Zhang Ming is recruiting people in the violence room."
"Well!" Emperor Ming Yuan sat up, the quilt slipped from his knees, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes, "What did you do?"
Mu Rugong said: "That bad guy Zhang Ming said he was ordered by the Queen. Concubine Xian had been bribed by him before and regarded him as a confidant. Little did he know that he was working for the Queen. Before Concubine Xian stabbed the Queen Mother, she was the Queen.
Asked him to deliver a message to Qingyu Palace, saying that several people in the Su family died in the fire, and that Concubine Xian's mother also died in the fire, which made Concubine Xian so sad and angry that she ran away desperately.
He went out and stabbed the prince and the queen mother."
