All day long, Shen Huan held Zhao'er in her arms, and in the evening it was time to go to the palace. She then handed Zhao'er over to the wet nurse. However, Zhao'er was greedy for her mother's arms and was very dishonest in the hands of the wet nurse. She kept messing around with her little feet. The nanny with her little arms waving wildly tried to coax her to no avail. Zhaoer wrinkled his nose and was about to cry. Shen Huan had no choice but to hug him and continue coaxing him. It was strange, but as long as Shen Huan hugged him, he would stop fussing, but Leave it to the nanny and he'll make a fuss
After doing this several times, he missed the time to go to Qian Palace. Shen Huan looked at Zhao'er who looked proud, and said helplessly to Chun'er: "Go and tell Xiao Shizi that I won't go tonight, let the emperor Take the medicine and go to bed early." He nodded Zhao'er's little nose and said with a smile, "You little devil, you're only old enough to know how to do evil."
Zhao'er laughed loudly and started dancing, and everyone laughed when they looked at it.
Waiting until Zhaoer was tired from playing, he fell asleep in Shen Huan's arms. Seeing that it was getting late outside, Shen Huan personally hugged him and put him in the stroller. He then looked at Zhaoer's sleeping face, showing kindness. smile
Zhao'er, my child, you should grow up quickly and grow up safely and healthily. Your mother will always protect you and will not let you be harmed in the slightest. Anyone who wants to harm you will definitely be punished.
When she came out of the nursery and walked into her room, she saw Xichen sitting there waiting for her. She was slightly stunned and went in and asked, "Why did you come out? You knew you were not in good health, why did you..."
Xichen waved his hands, smiled and said: "I am a man after all, the emperor. I won't fall down easily after taking a few steps. Come here." His voice was low, slightly hoarse, with an ambiguous magnetism.
Shen Huan walked to him and was pulled by him, holding her in his arms. His soft lips pressed against her neck. Shen Huan trembled involuntarily.
The palace people all retreated in time. Xichen put his arms around Shen Huan's waist and kissed her gently, but Shen Huan pushed him away and said: "Your Majesty, how can you be like this..."
Xichen smiled evilly and said, "Didn't Huanwen say that she would give me more children?"
Shen Huan was stunned, lowered his head and murmured: "I don't want to anymore."
Xichen was also stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "If you are worried about my health now, then wait until I am better later."
Shen Huan stood up from him and said softly: "I don't want to think about it anymore."
Xichen frowned angrily and asked, "Why?"
Shen Huan turned her head and looked at him and said: "Your Majesty, you don't want Zhao'er to set foot in the court, right? The Emperor is happy with the grace that I asked the Emperor for today. But Your Majesty, I don't want every one of my children to be Wandering outside"
Xichen said with a guilty conscience: "I don't mean that."
Shen Huan smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, there is no need to hide my concubine, because I am a descendant of the Xiao family. You don't want my son to inherit the throne, and any of my sons don't even want them to be involved in the political situation of the court, because if that happens , there are still people who will wait for the opportunity to take advantage of the emperor. In your opinion, as long as there are people with the blood of the Xiao family, there will be people who will let them wait for the opportunity to take over the Chu family's mountains and rivers, right? "
Chu Xichen stared at her, only seeing clarity in her eyes, but more and more in his own eyes, there was the panic of being seen through and the helplessness of being hesitant to speak. For a long time, he said slowly: " But Huan Huan, alas, I haven’t really considered letting Zhao’er leave the palace or inherit the throne!”
Shen Huan knelt down in front of him and said with tears in her eyes: "But Your Majesty, if Zhao'er stays in the palace, he will be in danger, very dangerous..."
Chu Xichen held her face with both hands and asked softly: "Huanhou, you once asked me whether I want you or the world. Now I want to ask you, between me and the world, how would you choose? "
Shen Huan looked at him in horror and surprise and said: "Xichen, I have never thought about wanting the world, I am just a woman! The first thing I love is my son, and the second is you. I have never thought about such a choice, because the world is not in my choice at all! Xichen, I am your wife, and my son’s surname is Chu, not Xiao.”
Xichen stared closely into her tearful eyes, kissed her eyelids gently, and said softly: "Then, what else do I have to worry about?"
The two looked at each other for a long time, and the palace lanterns were turned off. That night, Chu Xichen stayed in the Chen Palace. It was not until long after dawn that Xiao Shizi urged him again, and then he returned to the Qian Palace and prepared to resume the morning court.
However, when Shen Huan was playing with Zhao'er sweetly, a little eunuch from Qiangong crawled in and said: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, it's not good, it's not good... Your Majesty, Your Majesty... "
Shen Huan looked at him like that, frowned and asked: "What's going on? Tell me calmly!"
The little eunuch took a few deep breaths and said with a tearful voice: "The emperor went to the morning court today, and halfway through, he vomited blood! All the adults saw it and were stunned with fear! At this time, the emperor had been carried back to the throne room. We have gone to the palace, the imperial doctors are all there, and so are the adults."
Shen Huan stood up suddenly, handed Zhao'er to Qingyue, and said sternly: "Go to the palace!"
When they arrived at Qian Palace, a dark group of people blocked the door. Shen Huan glanced at it and said seriously: "If you want to wait, just stand here! Don't make any noise!" The adults hurriedly separated to make way for them. Shen Huan walked in. Standing at the end were San Zai and two foreign ministers. Shen Huan said solemnly: "The three adults will follow me in, and the rest will wait as ordered."
"Yes" at this time, no one has any objections
Xichen was still lying on the bed like that day, surrounded by imperial doctors, but Imperial Physician Jiang stood up and Shen Huan went over and asked, "Why don't you go and do the acupuncture?"
Imperial Physician Jiang glanced at her lightly and said, "No need for acupuncture."
Shen Huan felt her heart sink and asked in a trembling voice: "What do you mean?"
Imperial Physician Jiang said: "Your Majesty, I understand."
Shen Huan was about to faint, but Cui Shanggong held her hand tightly and said: "My queen, please don't mess up. You must not mess up your position at this time."
Shen Huan gritted his teeth and said: "Mr. Jiang, please ask the emperor to wake up, even for a while!"
Imperial Physician Jiang followed the instructions and Xichen woke up. Shen Huan immediately asked San Zai to go in. Not long after, San Zai came out without saying anything. Xiao Shizi followed him out and said to Shen Huan: "Mother, please go in. I'm still here." The empress who is going to Xuange Palace"
Shen Huan straightened her clothes, tried her best to look calmer, and walked in
After a while, Chen Xiurong arrived first. As soon as she arrived, she threw herself next to Xichen's bed and burst into tears.
Shen Huan and Xichen frowned at the same time and glanced at each other, but neither of them spoke.
The concubines came one after another, and everyone's face was covered with tears. Only Concubine Ming stared blankly at Xichen without saying a word.
"From now on, you must obey the Queen's control and don't do anything to disappoint me again..." Xichen said weakly, and moved his eyes to Shen Huan, "Queen, I have to work hard for you."
Shen Huan smiled with tears in her eyes and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry."
"Our Zhao'er..." Xichen took a breath and said slowly, "I will let Sanzai teach him well."
Hearing these words, Chen Xiurong trembled, quietly clenched his hands into fists, and gritted his teeth tightly
