Having said this, he looked at Concubine Xue with an apologetic look, "My dear concubine, please wait for me for a while. I will be here soon."
"The Queen Mother comes here once in a while. Your Majesty, please spend more time with the Queen Mother and don't worry about your concubines."
Xue Fei said very sensibly.
"Okay, my beloved concubine really understands the general situation."
After Emperor Hongyuan finished speaking, he put on his clothes, tidied up his appearance, and led Eunuch Xu out.
As soon as he left, Concubine Xue's face was filled with anxiety.
The emperor issued an order to imprison Chu Xuanchen, and she was very worried about him.
She wanted to speak for Chu Xuanchen in front of the emperor, but the emperor hated Chu Xuanchen so much that she did not dare to speak for fear of being suspected by the emperor.
"Mother, why are you here?"
Emperor Hongyuan went out and saluted the Queen Mother.
"Your Majesty, the Ai family hasn't seen you for several days and misses you, so I came to see you."
The Queen Mother looked at Emperor Hongyuan and found that Emperor Hongyuan's face was swollen, his eye sockets were dark, and he looked haggard.
She hurried over and asked with concern, "Your Majesty, are you very tired recently?
Aijia sees that you look very bad, so you should pay more attention to rest."
"Thank you for your concern, mother. My son knows.
My son recently took Li Xianren's golden elixir and he feels comfortable and energetic. He also looks much younger. This is really a miracle elixir."
Emperor Hongyuan's way.
The Queen Mother didn't know whether this elixir was so magical, but looking at Emperor Hongyuan's complexion, she felt that it was not a good thing.
She said: "Your Majesty, I don't know what this elixir is made of. You'd better eat less."
Emperor Hongyuan hated people doubting his elixir the most. His face darkened, "Mother, that's because you don't understand this elixir.
Li Xianren said that this elixir can make people stay young forever and live forever.
After my son ate it recently, he really felt full of strength and had that ecstatic feeling. My son should be close to immortality!"
"Yeah?
If this elixir can really strengthen your body, why do you look so bad?"
The Queen Mother doubted.
Emperor Hongyuan said with some embarrassment: "That's because my son has favored some concubines recently, so..."
When the Queen Mother heard this, she immediately advised her with sincerity: "Your Majesty, it's not that the Ai family wants to talk to you. The Ai family knows that you have been very fond of these concubines recently, and often do not go to the morning court because of them.
For the sake of the country and your body, you must exercise moderation.
There are many beauties in the palace, and the flowers are gradually enchanting the eyes. You are the king of a country, and you must not be addicted to beauty.
You have to stay awake at all times, don’t let your body collapse because of them, let alone waste your country because of them!”
"My son knows, mother, don't worry, your son has his own sense of control over these things."
Emperor Hongyuan said solemnly.
"It's good that you know! It's just about Xuan Chen. The Ai family doesn't believe that he would rebel, let alone that he would ask people to write counter-poems to establish prestige for himself.
He is definitely not that kind of person, is there any misunderstanding here?"
The Queen Mother said anxiously.
Emperor Hongyuan had long expected that the Queen Mother would come to speak for Chu Xuanchen, and his face became more and more gloomy, "Mother, the evidence of those anti-poems is conclusive, I have not wronged him at all.
He is suspected of treason and has committed a major crime. He must be severely punished, otherwise my country will be in danger!"
"Your Majesty, Xuanchen has guarded the country for you for so many years, don't you still know what he is like?
If you deal with him at this time, I'm afraid others will think that you burned the bridge after taking advantage of him, which will also be very detrimental to your reputation."
