Concubine Liu was provoked by Eunuch Xiang and was really furious. She pushed Eunuch Xiang away, then pushed the door open and walked in, looking at the emperor: "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you."
"You don't know that Eunuch Xiang always stops me from coming in..."
Just as she said this, Concubine Liu noticed that the emperor was staring at her with an angry gleam in his eyes, and she slammed the memorial in her hand on the table.
"Lady Liu, you are so brave. Who gave you the courage to break into my study? Someone, take Lady Liu down and hand her over to the Queen for punishment."
Hearing this, Lady Liu was startled and knelt down directly: "Your Majesty, please spare my life. I dare not do it again. Please spare me, Your Majesty."
No matter how Concubine Liu cried and made a fuss, she was soon taken away by the guards and brought directly to the Queen's palace. Someone reported to the Queen, and the palace maids from the Queen's palace soon came out.
"The Queen has gone to the Queen Mother's palace to pay her respects."
The guard was stunned for a moment, then he pushed Concubine Liu directly to the Empress Dowager's palace. In the Empress Dowager's palace, Queen Lin Chuwu was talking to the Empress Dowager.
As an experienced person, how could the Empress Dowager not understand the Emperor's meaning? He has not visited a woman for such a long time, which means he obviously has someone in his heart.
As for who it was, with the empress dowager's clever mind, she could naturally guess it. Looking at Lin Chuwu in front of her, she thought of herself in the past.
I unconsciously felt a little biased in my heart: "Queen, if you have nothing to do, come and accompany me often. Playing mahjong with me can also kill time."
"In this harem, time is the hardest to pass. Fortunately, Princess Xiao invented Mahjong, which provides us with an additional form of entertainment."
But the empress dowager was still feeling a little depressed, because Mu Yexiao and Qian Jiujiu were not around, and the late emperor and Concubine Qing had also gone to another world.
Now the people in the palace always give in to her when playing mahjong with her, which makes her depressed and feels meaningless. It has been a long time since she played. Lin Chuwu naturally knew the news.
Now when she heard that the Queen Mother wanted to play mahjong with her, she immediately became interested: "Your Majesty is right, I will remember it."
Just as the two were talking, the guards beside the emperor pressed Concubine Liu to the gate of the empress dowager's palace and asked for an audience: "Your subordinates wish to see the empress dowager and the queen."
The eunuch at the palace gate quickly went in and reported: "Your Majesty, the guards beside the Emperor are escorting Lady Liu to ask for an audience."
After hearing this, the Queen Mother looked at the Queen in surprise, only to find that the Queen also had a confused look on her face, and obviously didn't know what was going on.
Then he looked at the eunuch and said, "Let them in. I want to see what the emperor is up to next."
Soon, the guards came in with Concubine Liu, and they knelt down directly. "Your subordinates pay their respects to the Empress Dowager and the Empress. The Emperor asked your subordinates to bring Concubine Liu here, and ask the Empress to deal with her."
"The Emperor was furious when Lady Liu broke into the Emperor's study without permission."
After that, the guard knelt there and kept silent. The Queen and the Queen Mother looked at each other in disbelief.
Finally, the Queen turned to look at Lady Liu: "Lady Liu, why did you trespass into the Imperial Study?"
When Concubine Liu heard the Queen's question, she burst into tears and looked at the Queen with a heartbroken expression.
"Empress Dowager, Empress Dowager, I am wronged. I just made a bowl of soup. I thought that the emperor must be busy handling state affairs, so I sent a bowl of soup to the emperor. Who knew that the emperor would accuse me of trespassing into the imperial study."
After hearing this answer, the queen was speechless. The other two beauties would find various opportunities to meet the emperor in private.
The Queen knew about this matter, but she didn't expect that Concubine Liu was so powerful that she actually found the Imperial Study.
Moreover, the emperor had ordered this matter to be handled. The queen looked at the queen mother, who sighed and said, "Queen, you can handle it yourself."
The Queen frowned, and finally spoke: "Lady Liu is so bold to trespass into the Imperial Study. Considering that this is your first offense, I will let you off the hook. You will be punished with six months of imprisonment and three months of house arrest. Take you away."
The guard immediately saluted the queen and said, "I obey your order."
After that, the guards escorted Lady Liu away. After Lady Liu left, the Queen Mother and the Empress looked at each other, and then they both sighed silently.
Finally, the Queen Mother couldn't help but ask the Queen, "Queen, is there still nothing going on between you and the Emperor?"
As she spoke, the empress dowager looked at the queen's belly. Because the queen was chosen by the late emperor, the empress dowager still liked her very much and naturally hoped that the emperor's first child would be born by the queen.
Lin Chuwu followed the empress dowager's gaze and fell on her belly. She was stunned at first, then she blushed, and then felt lonely. She was a woman.
She is also a sensitive woman. At the beginning, the emperor said that he would not touch her because he was in mourning for the late emperor, but so much time has passed.
The emperor still didn't touch her, and sometimes he would even be in a daze in her bedroom. If Lin Chuwu still couldn't sense that the emperor had someone in his heart, then that was it.
Lin Chuwu is just an idiot. But Lin Chuwu doesn’t understand. Since the emperor has someone in his heart, he can just take that person into the palace. Why does he miss her for no reason
Is there someone in this world that the emperor wants but cannot get? The queen mother looked at the queen's lonely expression, what else did she not understand!
He reached out and patted the Queen's hand: "At noon, please stay here and have lunch with me. Also, invite the Emperor to come as well."
The morning passed in a flash, and it was time for lunch when the empress dowager sent someone to invite the emperor over. When the empress saw the emperor coming in, she quickly stood up and paid her respects to him.
"Your Majesty, I have seen you."
The emperor hummed and said, "Stand up, mother, is there anything you want? Why did you suddenly want me to have lunch with you?"
The Queen Mother smiled and said, "The Emperor is a very busy man. It's rare to see him busy at other times. Today is not a special day. It's just that today is the day when the imperial physician comes to the palace to check my pulse as a matter of routine."
The Queen Mother said as she looked at the eunuch beside her: "Go and invite Doctor Wu in. By the way, check the pulse of the Emperor and the Empress as well. Just check their pulses for safety."
The emperor was a little puzzled when he saw the empress dowager's action, but since it was the empress dowager's intention, the emperor was too embarrassed to say anything and just watched Doctor Wu coming over.
He still reached out his hand to let Doctor Wu feel his pulse, and then he heard the Queen Mother speak: "Is the Emperor angry with Concubine Liu today?"
When the Emperor mentioned Lady Liu, his expression changed: "Mother, it is my fault for disturbing you with this matter. It is just that Lady Liu is too bold."
"I've already told you that this is my imperial study and you're not allowed to enter. How dare you force your way in?"
When the Queen Mother heard this, she snorted coldly, "Your concubines have to break into the imperial study to see you. Do you think you are doing the right thing as an emperor?"
"Look, King Xiao already has two children, and you are his elder brother! Now I don't even have a child around me, how lonely I must be?"
The Queen Mother then looked at Doctor Wu and said, "Doctor Wu, how is the Emperor's health?"
Doctor Wu looked at the emperor, then at the empress dowager: "Your Majesty, the emperor is in good health and doing very well."
The Queen Mother said, "Oh!" and finally looked relieved: "Then go check the Queen's pulse."
Imperial Doctor Wu took the Queen's pulse again. While he was doing that, the Queen Mother looked at the Queen expectantly, and the Queen suddenly felt extremely embarrassed.
The Queen Mother was still looking forward to it even though she knew that the Emperor had not yet consummated his marriage with her. She was probably doing this for the Emperor to see! Unfortunately, she knew everything but could not remind the Emperor.
Doctor Wu withdrew his hand and looked at the Queen Mother: "Your Majesty, the Queen is in good health."
The Queen Mother looked disappointed and said, "It means my grandson is still missing. All right, you can go down now."
As soon as these words came out, the emperor's expression changed, because he finally understood what the empress dowager meant by asking him to come to dinner today. Did she doubt his ability
So he specially asked a royal doctor to check him? He couldn't help but look at the queen mother with a dark face: "Mother, don't let your imagination run wild. I am fine."
The Queen Mother glanced at the Emperor and said lightly, "Yes, you are very well, the Queen is very well, and the two beauties are very well, but you just don't have a child."
"My dear, don't you like the queen and the two beauties? How about this, let's have a beauty pageant. Let me choose whichever one I like?"
The emperor's expression changed again and he glanced at the queen. The queen's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that the emperor suspected that she was the one instigating the empress dowager
"Selection of talent? What does the Queen think? Tell me about it."
Hearing this tone, the emperor was indeed angry. Lin Chuwu's face turned pale. Since entering the palace, she has been working diligently to live up to the title of queen.
But she didn't expect that the emperor didn't trust her at all? A bitter light rose in her eyes: "But listen to the emperor's words."
The emperor suddenly felt angry, but before he could vent his anger, the queen mother got angry first: "Your Majesty, I am asking you, not the queen."
"Don't use your thoughts to guess other people's thoughts. If you want to know something, just ask directly."
The emperor was stunned for a moment, and felt that Lin Chuwu was scheming. He glanced at Lin Chuwu and said to the queen mother, "Mother, you misunderstood."
"It seems that you, mother, like the queen very much?"
The Queen Mother snorted coldly: "The Queen is generous and filial, why shouldn't I like her? But you, I want to have a grandson, when will you be able to make my wish come true?"
The corner of the emperor's mouth twitched, and he looked at the queen mother: "Mother, the matter of children depends on fate."
