Four hundred and seventieth chapters life hard Kefu
Compared to Fu Siye's secret return to Beijing, Xie Zhuohua was much more high-profile and deliberately attracted attention.
Xie Zhuohua sat on the carriage, opened the curtain and looked at the commotion on the street outside. He couldn't help but sigh, "Sure enough, Beijing is under the emperor's feet, and it is still bustling and lively, no matter what the chaos outside has become."
As soon as Xie Zhuohua returned to Beijing, the major forces in Beijing received the news, including Tao Mingran in the palace.
"When Miss Xie comes back at this time, I'm afraid it's a sheep in the tiger's mouth." Mammy said in confusion.
Tao Mingran didn't think so, "Mr. Xie is a man of great wisdom. Miss Xie must have her own intentions when she returns to Beijing at this time."
Yan Chu also received the news, but she was just the former crown prince, and the prince was dead. Naturally, he would not take Xie Zhuohua to heart. He asked his men to pay attention to the movements of the Xie family.
On the third day after Xie Zhuohua returned to Beijing, he handed the sign to the palace to pay his respects.
The queen immediately allowed her to enter the palace to pay her respects. She had a special status and almost became the royal wife, so the queen did not dare to neglect her.
Moreover, in recent years, the situation in the palace has been unstable. The Tao family does not think highly of the emperor and does not want to become cannon fodder, so they have become close to the Xie family in private.
The next day, Xie Zhuohua and his maid entered the palace early in the morning.
Walking on a familiar road, she felt extremely strange. The last time she entered the palace, the country was peaceful and the people were safe, and the queen was her aunt.
Everything is different now, the world has changed its owner and its harem has also changed its people.
Xie Zhuohua entered the middle palace with a nostalgic look on his face, "I have met the Queen, I hope you are safe."
Tao Mingran smiled and said, "Thank you, miss, no need to be polite, get up quickly."
Xie Zhuohua was given a seat and the palace servants served tea.
"It's been a long time no see. How are you doing, Miss Xie?" Tao Mingran started to say hello.
Xie Zhuohua chatted with her about some interesting things in the boudoir. After the atmosphere was almost brewing, he got to the point, "I heard that Concubine Yan is pregnant. Congratulations to my mother and your majesty. It's really good news."
A few years after the emperor's wedding, it was already an open secret that no heir was born in the harem. This made the situation even worse for the already treacherous imperial power.
Therefore, Concubine Yan's pregnancy has attracted much attention, and many people are staring at her belly.
"Haha, I don't take pills from Your Majesty to practice Taoism. It's probably because of God's blessing." The queen said with no expression. She didn't look happy no matter how she looked.
Xie Zhuohua's eyes flashed, "This Yan family is really lucky."
The Queen chuckled lightly, "Don't they say that if the Yan family comes out, the world will invite you? Naturally, you will be lucky."
She wanted to see how the Yan family could make the world peaceful!
Suddenly the palace maid came to report, "Your Majesty, Eunuch Lin is here."
The queen frowned, why did she come at this time?
"Let him in."
Lin Zheng came in and greeted her respectfully.
"Get up, what's going on at this hour?" the queen asked directly.
Lin Zheng bent over and became more respectful, "Your Majesty, thank you for your visit."
The queen's eyelids twitched and she looked at Xie Zhuohua worriedly.
Xie Zhuohua stood up calmly and said, "Your Majesty, I will leave first."
Judging from her indifferent look, she probably knew something. The Queen breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Thank you, Miss. Go quickly."
Xie Zhuohua followed Lin Zheng and looked at the newly built Immortal Palace, speechless, "Your Majesty lives here now?"
"Yes, Your Majesty is devoted to the Tao." Lin Zheng replied.
Xie Zhuohua walked in and met several fairy boys along the way, and also smelled the obvious smell of medicine.
Arriving at the palace where the emperor handled political affairs, Xie Zhuohua immediately knelt down and saluted the emperor to greet him.
The emperor looked at Xie Zhuohua with an unpredictable expression, "Get up."
Xie Zhuohua stood up and showed his face, still beautiful and domineering.
The pearl of the south of the Yangtze River, the crown prince appointed by the emperor, almost became his emperor's wife.
The emperor's heart was ready to move again. The influence of the Xie family was extraordinary, and he would not lose out if he married such a beauty into the palace.
Originally, he had been lying down and enjoying himself, but since Concubine Yan became pregnant, he felt that he could support himself again. Now that he has a wife, he must secure the throne.
The emperor looked at her with burning eyes, "Miss Xie is so talented. I have admired you for a long time. Why don't you come into the palace to accompany me and share the prosperity of this world."
He had never seen such a shameless person. Xie Zhuohua scolded him in his heart for being a fool, but he had a panic look on his face, biting his lips and saying nothing.
"Don't you want to thank Miss Xie?" the emperor said sternly.
Xie Zhuohua immediately knelt down and said, "It is my daughter's blessing to be able to enter the palace to accompany His Majesty, but I dare not..."
"Why don't you dare?" the emperor asked dissatisfied.
"My daughter's life is really not good..." Xie Zhuohua burst into tears, crying very sadly, "My daughter originally made an appointment to get married last year, but six months after the engagement, he died unexpectedly..."
The emperor was shocked, "Why didn't you figure out back then that all Qin Tianjian was just doing nothing?"
"My daughter was not engaged to His Majesty back then..." Xie Zhuohua reminded with tears.
The horoscope of the daughter's family was a secret. Although she was recognized as a candidate for the crown prince, she did not go to the stage of getting engaged to the prince, and the prince was killed in Jiangnan.
The emperor instantly lost interest in her. Now that she was religious, she believed more and more.
He is not willing to take risks.
"When I came back this time, I was instructed by the eminent monk to go to Huangjue Temple to find a master to resolve the matter, but I don't know if it will be useful..."
"You go down first. We will discuss the matter of entering the palace later." The emperor immediately became impatient to see her.
Xie Zhuohua then retreated. When she came to Beijing, she had already thought of a reason for herself, and now it seems that it is indeed very useful.
The emperor was unhappy and ordered Lin Zheng, "Send someone to secretly investigate whether what Miss Xie said just now is true. "
"Yes." Lin Zheng took the order and left.
The conversation in the main hall quickly reached Concubine Yan. Concubine Yan smashed the cup in her hand with her stomach raised, "Humph, I didn't expect that His Majesty is still thinking about her."
Of course she had heard of Xie Zhuohua's reputation.
The pain of her pregnancy made her uncomfortable after pregnancy, which made her haggard, so she had a bad temper.
The emperor's constant rewards did not stop him from continuing to sleep with beauties. He even worked harder, hoping that other concubines could become pregnant. The emperor felt that one child was still too few and there was no sense of security.
"Your Majesty, please calm down. She is not qualified to enter the palace because she is so cruel to her husband." The palace official advised her.
Yan Rui looked pale and covered her stomach, "Chuimusulai, I feel uncomfortable in my stomach."
Her pregnancy was forcibly conceived with drugs and was very unstable. Yan Chu paired her with a medical woman who was good at this field and stayed with her to serve her carefully and protect her pregnancy.
