Chu Shen frowned, stopped, and scolded coldly in a low voice, "Let her come over."
The guards on the periphery immediately let go obediently, and the unkempt woman with a bruised nose and face ran out of the crowd, rolled and fell at the emperor's feet, kowtowed frequently, and cried with tears, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please send me
Please look for Empress Hui, she hasn't come back since last night, I'm worried that something happened to her!"
"Aren't you Xiaoya from Sister Huibi's side?" Qin'er took a step forward and reached out to push away the messy hair in front of her face.
"Yes, this servant is Xiaoya, the personal maid of Concubine Hui of Chengrun Palace."
"Concubine Hui is missing?" The emperor's voice revealed a hint of surprise.
"Yes, yes Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, your Majesty has not returned to the palace since last night." Xiaoya cried out sadly, "Your Majesty, something must have happened to Your Majesty, otherwise it would be impossible for her not to come back."
"Do you know where Concubine Hui went last night?" The palace is so big. It is not easy or difficult to find someone. You have to ask clearly, otherwise it will be like looking for a needle in a haystack.
"Your Majesty is going to the Cold Palace to deliver... cakes to Concubine Shu." Xiaoya lowered her head.
Hearing Concubine Shu's name, Chu Shen's face changed slightly, and his eyebrows wrinkled. Qin'er looked at her carefully, her eyes widened, and she was secretly puzzled.
I have heard the name Shu Concubine once before. It seems that she was the one who went crazy due to miscarriage and was thrown into the cold palace. How come Sister Hui and this Concubine Shu are so close? What kind of expression did the emperor make when he heard the name of this Concubine Shu?
Well.
"Bastard!" The Queen Mother scolded Xiaoya first, "What are you going to do in the cold palace if you have nothing to do? You didn't persuade Hui Bin, and now that something has happened and you come here to make a fuss, you will be punished even more!"
The Queen Mother reprimanded Xiaoya on the surface, but she was secretly a little frightened in her heart. If what Eunuch Chen said was true, and it was Hui Bin who actually overheard the transaction between Deyilou and them, then her disappearance at this moment means...
"Hansu."
"The humble job is here."
"Send someone to conduct a thorough investigation and we must find Hui's whereabouts. I don't believe that such a big living person can disappear in this palace." Chu Shen waved his sleeves and ordered calmly.
"It's the emperor." Han Su waved his hand and immediately led his personal guards to go and get involved.
"Okay, let's all disperse." The emperor looked a little tired, and without saying anything else, he turned around and left.
Qin'er looked back at Xiaoya, who was still kneeling on the ground, and left following Chu Shen's footsteps.
The two returned to Fengluan Palace. As soon as they closed the door, the little guy jumped into his arms and knocked him hard. He stretched out his arms to hug her without laughing or laughing. The two fell heavily on the chairs with a "bang"
, the palace maids and eunuchs who were waiting nearby looked at each other in fright.
Only then did Qin'er realize that all the eunuchs and maids in Fengluan Palace had unfamiliar faces. Tian'er was not here, and none of Little Baozi and Xiaodouzi were here.
He frowned and was about to speak when the emperor dismissed the group of staring maids and eunuchs.
Qin'er put her hands around his neck and asked angrily, "Who is she?"
"Which one?" The emperor was a little confused and didn't know where her anger came from.
"It's that Concubine Shu!"
Chu Shen's expression showed that he was very reluctant to talk about this person anymore. When she asked, he just frowned and smiled, and diverted the conversation elsewhere, "Aren't you tired? Why are you so energetic today? Come on, I'll take you to rest."
"
The more he avoided it, the more she felt that he had something up his sleeve. She opened her watery eyes unhappily, grabbed his hair with one hand and tugged it around, yelling a little unreasonably, "Who is she? What kind of person is she?"
What’s that expression? It looks like you’re heartbroken. Have you done something sorry for me? Why don’t you speak, don’t you confess!”
Chu Shen was a little angry and put her down on the bed, turned around and backed away, "What are you talking about? You don't need to know about this, go to bed quickly!"
Qin'er felt extremely wronged, and her big black eyes were full of water drops from the collapse of the flash flood. It seemed that as long as he left her alone and stepped out of this threshold, she would burst into flames and cry until the sun and the moon eclipsed her.
He also understood that the little guy was mostly pretending. She always used this collapsed expression to force him to give in and compromise, but he always fell into the trap and raised the white flag to surrender again and again. He knew better than anyone else that the little guy
The girl's bad temper was probably caused by herself. I wanted to ignore her, but looking at her pitiful look...
Unknowingly, his footsteps turned back and he came to her side. He sighed helplessly, stretched out his hands to hold her on his lap, and whispered half in annoyance, "What should I do to you?"
Yun Qin was particularly wronged, she was wronged. If he didn't tell her clearly today, she would feel like there was a thorn in her heart, a big thorn!
"Actually, it happened many years ago. I won't tell you because I don't want you to be upset." He raised his hand and rubbed her soft hair. When he touched it, there were beads of sweat on the little girl's forehead.
He paused, retracted his arms, and hugged her tightly, "You are so annoying! You are so confused and confused after all this nonsense. What can I have with that concubine? What do you think we can have? Just because
I am... cruel. Concubine Shu..."
His big palm gently pressed against her belly, and Chu Shen frowned, "Concubine Shu's maiden name is Luo, and her father and brother were both our first-class military marshals. Because I had great power, I behaved arrogantly and domineeringly. I was the
When I first ascended the throne, I was bullied by my young master, and there was nothing I could do about them for the time being."
Qin'er turned her head and blinked her big eyes, "So you married the daughter of the Luo family."
"Well." A sneer flashed in Chu Shen's eyes, "I not only married her, but I also held her up to the heavens and made her the favorite in the harem. She was in the limelight for a while and outshone everyone else. So the Luo family
The father and son became even more arrogant and arrogant, and I tolerated them everywhere, pretending to be restrained by them."
Qin'er suddenly realized, "Then the Queen Mother's party and General Sima's party could no longer sit still."
"The emperor used other people's hands to eliminate the thorn in his side, and secretly mediated to balance the power of the Li family and the Sima family, so that they restrained each other and did not dare to act rashly." Qin'er stretched out her hand to cover her mouth and looked at her, "Then
Concubine Shu’s child is..."
"Died in the hands of the Queen Mother." The emperor's tone was calm.
"No wonder Concubine Shu is going crazy. She lost her family and her child all at once, how could she not go crazy?" she shouted depressedly.
"Your Majesty, people say that tigers are poisonous but do not eat their seeds. Although I can see that you and the Queen Mother are not getting along at all, but you just tolerate it secretly, but... why is the Queen Mother so cruel to her own child?"
"I am not born to the Queen Mother." The emperor frowned, "Qin'er, why didn't you know?"
