"Your Majesty, tell the truth and tell everyone that you were transferred by Concubine Zhuang. Concubine Zhuang was the culprit who killed the late emperor. They always say that the mother-in-law is a monster who brings disaster to the country and the people, but in fact, Concubine Zhuang is the one." Baby Qin'er said,
One finger shines brightly.
Chu Xuan couldn't help but laugh, "Of course not. The fact that I am Concubine Hui's parent cannot be made public to the world. It is enough for only a few of us to know."
"Are you afraid that someone will try to force the emperor to abdicate the throne under the pretext that you are the crown prince conferred by the late emperor?"
Chu Xuan nodded and glanced at her approvingly.
"I'm not afraid. You and I have gone through so many things, why can't we be honest with each other? I believe in you."
"But Brother Chen is afraid." He sighed and held his elder brother's hand with his backhand. "Brother, I have never thought of getting anything from you."
"I know, I know." Chu Shen hugged him back movedly.
"I'm worried that if the truth of the matter is revealed, the Sima clan will take advantage of it. The country has not yet been settled. My brother is very tired just dealing with the Sima clan. Why bother to cause trouble again?" He held his hand tightly and sighed.
, "Let this truth disappear with our mother. You and I know it in our hearts, that's all."
"Brother Xuan, don't worry. When the country is settled, I will definitely return everything that belongs to you."
"Nonsense." Chu Xuan frowned, "I know my own body, can't you let your brother and I be more relaxed and happy? Do you have to move a mountain to crush me to make you happy?"
Chu Shen laughed dumbly.
The two brothers left Qin'er aside while they were having a heart-to-heart talk. It was such an eye-catching picture of a beauty! Little sister Qin'er rolled her eyes, looked at her, and ran to chat with Concubine Hui.
Mother-in-law, look at how good they are now, you should be smiling.
Your son A-Xuan is such a lovely person, A-Xuan, you also met him back then. Some combination of circumstances separated you mother and son for so many years, but it’s fine now. The two brothers have recognized each other, and they will support each other in the future.
, we will definitely be able to go further.
Hehehe, mother-in-law, you are really a beauty. No wonder my father never forgot you. You must bless your two sons, Qin'er and your grandson.
She blinked her eyes and looked at the portraits of the late emperor and Concubine Hui on the wall, and suddenly felt that Concubine Hui in the painting seemed to be blinking at her and smiling. She rubbed her eyes and tried to look again, but Chu Shen reached out and took her over, "Just now,...
When I was discussing things with Xuandi, what were you muttering to my mother's portrait alone? Did you say something bad about us brothers?"
"Where is that?" She turned around in surprise and stared at her black and bright eyes.
The two brothers couldn't help but laugh.
"What did you say?" Chu Xuan asked.
"You men don't have to interfere with the trivial things that my mother-in-law and I say between women." She stuck out her tongue, turned around and pulled Chu Shen's hand, "How about it, have you discussed it? What are you going to do with the concubine?"
"Just follow Brother Xuan's wishes and confine the concubine in Tonghui Garden."
"In what name?"
"Erotic disease." The two brothers replied in unison, then looked at each other and smiled knowingly.
"There is quite a tacit understanding." Little sister Qin'er pouted, then sighed, "Actually, this is fine. After all, I have raised Ah Xuan for so many years. If you say you don't have feelings, I won't believe it even to death! Maybe it will be early.
Unknowingly, the affection was already planted, but I didn't know how to grasp it, so I pushed him out... Forget it, I won't worry about you."
Chu Shen raised his hand and rubbed her little head.
“Is the cold syndrome in Ah Xuan’s body really caused by Princess Zhuang’s cruelty?”
"I don't think so." Chu Xuan said with a faint smile, "The mother-in-law was loved by thousands of people, and there were probably countless people who wanted to harm her unborn child. It might have been the Queen Mother, or it might have been Zhuang Zhuang.
Concubine, it is more likely to be another concubine. My symptoms should be caused by fetal poison given by someone, and there is no need to pursue it now. "
"Fetal poison." Qin'er muttered in a daze, and involuntarily touched her lower abdomen with one hand, feeling a little scared.
How much hatred and resentment should this be?
"Nothing will happen to you." Chu Shen saw her uneasiness and tightened her little hand, "I won't let anything happen to you."
She smiled and suddenly changed the subject and said, "Why is there no need to pursue it? Find that person out and let the emperor cut her into pieces. Or maybe ask her for the antidote."
"It's been so many years, how can I check it? There's no need to make it more confusing because of my affairs."
"Axuan, you can't be discouraged." Qin'er said sternly, "Swear to us in front of your father, the emperor, mother and concubines that you will not give up on yourself, and you will definitely cure yourself."
"How can you be so domineering?" Chu Xuan rolled her eyes.
"Don't turn it over!" She yelled at him and tugged on the emperor's sleeve, "Your Majesty."
"Yeah!" Chu Shen nodded his head vigorously and said as an accomplice, "Swear quickly, hurry up!"
Chu Xuan was so angry that she had no choice but to swear a strong oath in front of her mother and concubine, which made them both smile and nod.
At this time.
Eunuch Ling walked in, "Your Majesty, the medicine is ready."
"Does anyone else know?"
"Without an emperor, everything is handled by slaves alone. Even if someone knows about it, they will not make any connections, let alone guess about the concubine."
Chu Shen nodded.
"Let's deal with that Eunuch Hai as well."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"Isn't he loyal? Let him live the rest of his life in Tonghui Garden with the concubine."
"Your Majesty, what medicine did you give her?" Qin'er asked in confusion.
"It's nothing." He rubbed her little head, "The matter is almost settled. Brother Xuan, please go back home first to avoid anyone getting suspicious."
"good."
"Aren't you going to see Concubine Zhuang again?" Qin'er asked.
"What's there to see? She deserves it. Let's go."
The next day.
The news that Concubine Zhuang was suffering from a strange and incurable disease seemed to have wings and flew to all parts of the palace.
Out of filial piety, all the ministers went to greet him one after another, but they were blocked by the guards and eunuchs sent by the emperor to guard him.
Only a few people were able to go in to pay their respects to the Dowager Empress, and the rest were blocked on the grounds that "the Dowager is unwell and not suitable to be received."
Zhuang stayed at her aunt's bed day and night, weeping.
Unexpectedly, overnight, my aunt not only became speechless, she even became paralyzed.
"Aunt." She called her softly, "Aunt, tell Yeyue who caused you to do this."
Mr. Zhuang hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed his daughter, "Don't talk nonsense."
He turned around and cupped his hands towards General Sima and said, "General, the concubine is not feeling well. We'd better go out and don't disturb her anymore."
Even though Sima Yanlang had questions, he still couldn't figure it out. He nodded, got up and walked out. Mr. Zhuang took Yeyue and warned her to be careful about her words and deeds before going out.
Things were happening one after another in this palace. Who dared to attack the concubine? Everyone was aware of it, but they didn't dare to say it clearly.
