Yu Qingluo was stunned for a moment, not expecting that Concubine Shu would remind her like this.
The person she was referring to... must be Concubine Meng.
Indeed, Concubine Meng was very partial, and everyone in the palace could see it clearly. But no one knew why Concubine Meng was so partial, and her attitudes towards Ye Xiudu and Ye Haoting were so different.
Yu Qingluo nodded slightly, "Thank you, Concubine Shu, for reminding me. Prince Xiu and I are not people who like to cause trouble, and we are not willing to deal with the complicated affairs in this palace. If possible, it would be better to travel around the world." It doesn’t matter who is partial to whom, or whether this palace is complicated or not, it’s none of our business anyway. Once my mother’s illness is cured, I’m afraid it will be a little difficult to see each other again. My mother should take more care of herself in the future.”
Concubine Shu was suddenly startled, and a hint of shock flashed across her face.
When she was about to say something more, Yu Qingluo had already turned around, slowly got on the soft sedan, and was carried out of Shengping Palace.
The rain fell on the eaves again. It was drizzling. Although it was not heavy, the whole air became humid again.
Concubine Shu stood at the door for a long time, and it wasn't until Aunt Liang, who was close to her, put a cloak on her in distress that she came back to her senses.
"Madam, you are not in good health, why are you still standing here blowing the wind? If you catch a cold, wouldn't all today's diagnosis and treatment be in vain?" Aunt Liang helped her walk back, turned around and closed the door, blocking the constant flow. Cold air poured inside.
Concubine Shu looked slightly solemn, and Grandma Liang brought her a cup of ginger tea to relieve the cold.
Concubine Shu just took a sip and sighed involuntarily.
Aunt Liang was puzzled, "Your Majesty, after the princess's diagnosis and treatment just now, your face has indeed improved a lot. And the princess also promised that she will cure your illness for your Majesty. Why is your Majesty so upset and unhappy?" What does it look like?”
"You must have heard what I just said."
Grandma Liang was stunned for a moment, then nodded.
"What do you think?"
Aunt Liang lowered her head, "I don't dare to speculate without permission."
Concubine Shu laughed and shook her head, "Okay, what are you hiding in front of me? In this world, the person I trust most is you. If you are asked to say it, just say it."
"Yes." Aunt Liang thought about it for a while, then hesitantly said, "I feel that the meaning of the princess's words seems to be telling the queen that Prince Xiu has no intention of becoming the emperor."
"Yes." Concubine Shu exhaled heavily again, "But Prince Xiu, whom the emperor relies on the most, disdains that position."
"Isn't that just right? Prince Xiu has no idea, then Prince Bao..."
Concubine Shu shook her head, raised her hand to interrupt her words, and sighed, "No one knows Bao'er's character better than me. Although he is the eldest among the brothers, he is not the most flexible-minded prince. He If you become Prince Taiping, you will be worry-free for the rest of your life, but if you sit in that position, I'm afraid you won't be able to sit there for a few years."
Aunt Liang lowered her head and did not dare to answer. But in my heart, I agree with Concubine Shu's words. Although Prince Bao is also smart, he is far less astute than Prince Xiu. That position is what many princes want to have. If the next emperor does not have extraordinary means, If you don't have the momentum to overwhelm everyone, you may be pulled down soon.
Concubine Shu stood up and stared at the increasingly dense drizzle outside the window with a faint look in her eyes, "Apart from the grudges between me and Concubine Meng, I also believe that Prince Xiu is the most qualified to sit in that position. The prince is stupid. , the third prince is impulsive, the fourth prince has no courage, the sixth prince has no sense of presence, the seventh prince... Oh, even if he is smart, I don't think highly of him. The eighth prince is also smart, but it is a pity that his temper is not restrained, and he is euphemistic. The concubine's family is not powerful enough, and they are all literati. They consider themselves noble and upright and do not bother to fight. The ninth prince and the tenth prince died young, and the eleventh prince is still young, so he is no match for the many brothers. After all, only Prince Xiu is the best. It fits.”
Grandma Liang thought about it carefully and realized that this was indeed the case.
Prince Xiu's mother-in-law is Concubine Meng, so there is no need to mention her status. The emperor has always doted on him. What's more, Prince Xiu has such a smart son. Even the emperor would be reluctant to let him go.
"Empress, let's talk about the future later. Taking good care of your health is the most important thing now. Things are unpredictable, and no one knows what will happen in the future."
Hearing this, Concubine Shu chuckled and said, "That's true. My health is a little better, but I can't help but worry about it. No matter what, only by taking good care of my body, those who want to harm our mother and son will not be able to do anything. Opportunity. Let me pass on the food, I have a good appetite today."
Grandma Liang's face was filled with joy and she nodded quickly and went down.
As soon as she left, the people on the roof quickly swept down from above, and without even a pause, they headed straight towards the palace entrance.
After arriving at the carriage where Yu Qingluo was sitting, he jumped lightly and got through the curtain of the carriage.
"Look, your body is soaked. Wipe it off." Yu Qingluo in the car threw her a soft handkerchief and shook her head secretly, "Didn't I tell you not to go there on rainy days? What if you are angry? Even though he is sick, Ye Haoran still has to fight for me."
Jin Liuli took the handkerchief and wanted to say thank you, but was choked by her words and immediately took it back. She snorted and wiped her face vigorously.
Yu Qingluo leaned lazily on the carriage cushions and raised her voice softly. The groom outside heard her voice and flicked his whip, and the carriage gurgled forward.
Jin Liuli wiped it almost completely before throwing the handkerchief onto Yu Qingluo's face.
Yu Qing put down her hand and threw the handkerchief aside with a smile. Then she leaned forward with interest and asked her, "What did you hear?"
"Concubine Shu has no intention of fighting for the throne for Prince Bao, and she should not target you and Prince Xiu."
Jin Liuli's voice was a little cold, and she was speechless to Yu Qingluo, a woman who smiled all day but had a bad taste in her face.
How long has it been since they last met? After finally meeting her, she would be so angry if she didn't even have a nice word to say.
Yu Qingluo touched her chin. Concubine Shu had a pretty gentle temperament. Coupled with her poor health, she was exhausted just fighting the disease all day long. It was really difficult to think of anything else.
But people are unpredictable. Who knows if she will have other thoughts after she recovers
But no matter what, Ah Fu's matter probably has nothing to do with Concubine Shu.
"What about Fei Ge?" Yu Qingluo asked again, "After she resigned from my place, she should have returned to the pavilion."
"Yes." Jin Liuli nodded, then narrowed his eyes again and moved closer to her, "Speaking of this, I have something to ask you."
