"Where is the prince?" Shao Wanru looked at the sky outside the window and asked. At this time, Chu Liuchen had already come back. After returning home today, he went to the study and has not come back yet.
"The prince is still in the study." Dong'er came back from outside, looked at Shao Wanru and said, "Little Xuanzi, father-in-law, asked you to come over and have a look. The prince is in a very bad mood!"
She had just received Shao Wanru's order to go to the front yard to ask about the situation.
"Let's go!" Shao Wanru stood up and nodded. She was really worried. Chu Liuchen had never been so abnormal before, but what happened
"Princess, would you like some snacks first?" Qiu'er looked at the pastries that were already cold on the table. At this time, she usually had dinner.
"No, let's go to the study first!" Shao Wanru shook her head. She was really worried because she couldn't see Chu Liuchen.
He took the two maids Qiu'er and Dong'er with him and headed outside to the study room.
Xiao Xuanzi saw Shao Wanru coming from a distance, and immediately ran over and saluted Shao Wanru: "I have met the princess!"
Shao Wanru raised his head and looked at the lights on the second floor: "The prince is still inside, can we have dinner?"
"After the prince came back, he stayed up there and didn't let anyone disturb him!" Xiao Xuanzi said with a bitter face. His father's temper got worse again and he didn't let anyone go up to see him. He didn't dare to see it either. He could only ask for help. princess.
"I'll go take a look!" Shao Wanru said, leaving the two maids below, and slowly walked up the stairs carrying a corner of her dress.
On the second floor, the door was ajar. Shao Wanru opened the door and looked inside. Chu Liuchen in the room heard the sound and slowly raised his head. At this moment, what Shao Wanru saw was his deep, unruffled eyes. There is also no color at all, as if there is only darkness and depth in it.
When he saw it was Shao Wanru, his eyes moved slightly and became a little more moist.
Shao Wanru stepped forward and walked to Chu Liuchen's side. Looking at his handsome and expressionless face, he reached out and touched his forehead. After sensing it, he went to hold his hand again, hoping to feel his pulse and check. his body.
"I'm fine!" Chu Liuchen said. His voice was a little hoarse because he hadn't spoken for a long time. He stretched out his hand and pulled Shao Wanru to sit down on the large chair. He hugged her slender waist with both hands and leaned towards Shao Wanru's shoulder. Damn, my eyes were closed, and I could only see his long, curled eyelashes fluttering twice.
Shao Wanru didn't say anything, just let him lie quietly and looked at his face tenderly.
It took a long time before I heard his faint voice: "Uncle Emperor fainted just now. He drank the soup sent by Concubine Lan and was poisoned by the conflicting properties of the medicine."
"Can you find out who it is?" Shao Wanru raised his eyes and asked.
This cannot happen by chance.
"It should be that her food has been mixed with the medicine given by Xiang. My uncle was in a weak body, so he reacted immediately after drinking it. If it weren't for his poor health, this small reaction might not be easy to detect. ." Chu Liuchen said slowly.
Shao Wanru shook his slender hand distressedly, "It's okay. It should be fine. It won't happen again in the future!"
She thought he was worried about the emperor's health and comforted him.
"Uncle Emperor and Concubine Lan just... told me about my life experience... It's not what I thought before. Uncle Emperor and Concubine Lan were originally a couple... and by mistake... I was harmed again..." Chu Liuchen lowered his eyebrows and said, although his voice didn't have much waves.
Lan, but Shao Wanru could still sense the entanglement in his heart.
What happened back then, although it was only a short story, left Chu Liuchen with a life that was so weak and almost unbearable, as well as this past that he couldn't bear.
"Concubine Lan...how do you know you are the emperor's heir?" Shao Wanru thought for a while and felt a little sympathetic to Concubine Lan. She subconsciously asked another question. After she finished the question, she felt that it was too abrupt.
"The late emperor was injured and cannot have heirs!" Chu Liuchen said softly.
"What?" Shao Wanru's eyes suddenly widened in shock, and he turned around in astonishment: "Then... where is Prince Qing?"
"Of course Chu Qing cannot be the heir of the late emperor. The concubine's background is very shady. Since she is pregnant, she dare not say it. She has other plans. But she did not expect that the late emperor cannot have heirs, so this throne We had booked it to Uncle Huang early on, but it was a secret, and not many people knew about it at the beginning, even Taiyuan Hospital didn’t know about it!”
"The emperor... does the emperor know?" Shao Wanru was horrified.
"I know!" Chu Liuchen said calmly.
"Then... what about the late emperor?"
"You probably don't know!" Chu Liuchen said.
Shao Wanru pursed her lips, and her heart was turned upside down, so Chu Qing didn't even bother making trouble. In fact, everything fell into the eyes of the emperor.
If this is true, the meaning is definitely not simple.
Suppressing the shock in his heart, he reached out and hugged Chu Liuchen's waist: "Do you... hate Concubine Lan?"
Although those things were important, Chu Liuchen's emotions were more important right now.
"I used to hate her. I thought she... misbehaved... now..." Chu Liuchen's eyes darkened slightly, a dark color flashed under his eyes, and he closed his eyes again, not knowing what to say.
"It's okay. The elders' affairs have nothing to do with us. No matter what you say, Concubine Lan... You know best how she has treated you over the years. Her identity here is embarrassing and she doesn't usually see anyone. She is just afraid of being recognized. , as a queen, she became an unfavored concubine, the reason why Concubine Lan survived should be you!"
Shao Wanru whispered: "My mother is like this now, but I still think about when she will wake up, smile clearly at me, call my name, and see me and Hao'er. indivual… "
Shao Wanru burst into tears when she said this. Princess Qinghua's current situation is almost unsatisfactory, but she still has hope. She hopes that Princess Qinghua can come here one day and let her feel her mother's love. , instead of the stupid and indistinct look now.
Chu Liuchen lowered his head and looked at the top of Shao Wanru's hair. His expression softened slightly and became a bit lively. It was no longer the calm but dark look before.
"I will let Master Mingqiu and Qi Jue treat the princess carefully."
"But my mother is now..." Shao Wanru bit her lip.
"There is always hope, right? Even if there is no hope, it doesn't matter. Let's be filial to her together!" Chu Liuchen said.
"Okay, then don't think too much, okay?" Shao Wanru raised his tearful eyes, and the figure of Chu Liuchen was printed in his eyes.
"Okay!" The depression in Chu Liuchen's heart was strangely smoothed by her. After exhaling a long breath of depression, the corners of his lips curled up slightly. Although the arc was very shallow, it still fell on Shao Wanru's lips. In her eyes, even though there were still tears on her face, she could not help but reveal
A faint smile.
She raised her head with great effort and kissed the corner of his thin lips gently, with a smile stained with tears: "Even if you don't have everything, you still have me!"
"I have you!" Chu Liuchen really smiled this time, with an elegant smile.
Seeing that he finally recovered, Shao Wanru stretched out his hand and pulled his sleeve: "Is there any leftover soup from Concubine Lan? I want to see what's wrong with it?"
No matter who did it, it was absolutely impossible for it to be a false alarm, but we didn’t know whether it was Chu Qing or Chu Liuyue.
"There are people from both sides!" Chu Liuchen understood what she was talking about. "If you are still well tomorrow, go to the Imperial Grandmother's place to see me. Uncle Emperor, I am here."
"I can do it tomorrow!" Shao Wanru responded. Since Chu Liuchen is confident, he doesn't need to interfere with the emperor. There is indeed something going on with the Queen Mother. Aunt Wei has a big problem, and it's not just Aunt Wei. …
"What's going on? Why did something happen all of a sudden?" Chu Qing's face looked very ugly, and he looked gloomy as he sat.
"Is there something wrong with the medicine?" The concubine also asked with a gloomy face.
"There can't be a problem. Princess Yuyan told me personally. How could there be a problem?" Chu Qing said irritably. When Princess Yuyan brought it over before, he even had someone try it, and there was no problem. , How could something happen now
"But what should we do now that it is found out that he is one of ours?" The concubine's face was also extremely ugly. She was also confused. What happened was too unexpected. The emperor should not be in trouble at this time. Concubine Lan would have to drink the soup for a while before the attack would occur. Come out, how could something happen suddenly at this time
The little eunuch who delivered the ingredients was from Chu Qing, and he was also an important person.
"Sweep the traces first before talking." Chu Qing said.
"That's the only way!" The concubine said, feeling very depressed. After such a commotion, the emperor became even more vigilant. I'm afraid it won't be so convenient next time he wants to take action.
"Qiu Yi and Yu Yan, do you think they are both reliable?" Now that the matter has been decided, the concubine thought of another question. If any of them dare to do something bad, they will be dealt with directly!"
Anyway, the affairs of the two princesses were in a mess. Two princesses were too many after all.
The concubine has not been at peace these days. Both Mo Qiuyi and Princess Yuyan are unwilling to be outdone, and they are very tired of dealing with things between them.
One is a strong dragon, the other is a local snake, and neither of them intends to let the other go.
"Mother, concubine, wait a minute. Princess Yuyan also has the country of Ao behind her. Let's see how the competition in the country of Ao goes. Mo Qiuyi and those people also have a lot of manpower. We can't offend the concubine!" Chu Qing also knew that the concubine was in trouble! Feeling irritated, he stretched out his hand to rub his forehead. He also had a headache. Two mistresses came into the house, and neither of them were nice. As a prince, he had to coax them, which made him very annoyed.
"Let them go into the palace together tomorrow to see the Queen Mother," the concubine said.
"Let Princess Yuyan go, Mo Qiuyi better not go!" Chu Qing objected.
"Why, she is considered your princess now, why can't she go?" The concubine said in an unhappy mood, and sent two people into the palace to take care of them. I don't know what the situation in the palace was like, and her purpose was to let them in. She went to the palace to inquire about the news. It was not convenient for her to enter the palace herself.
