After dinner, Emperor Jiawen got up to leave.
The queen was a little surprised:
"Your Majesty, won't you... stay with me today?"
Emperor Jiawen had a calm expression on his face.
"It's almost October."
The queen's heart skipped a beat, and her mood suddenly became complicated.
October.
It was nothing to others, but to Emperor Jiawen, it was extremely special.
Because the original Concubine Wan died in October.
Over the years, Emperor Jiawen would feel particularly depressed every time around October, and he would never stay with his concubines in the palace.
It's not that she didn't know this rule, it was just that Emperor Jiawen had just promised to release the prince and also promised to find a heavenly doctor for the fourth princess. She was overjoyed and forgot about it.
"My concubine was negligent, please forgive me." The queen lowered her head, covering up the flash of resentment in her eyes.
Emperor Jiawen waved his hand.
"Go and see Zhenzhen."
After saying that, he raised his feet and left.
The huge palace became quiet again.
The palace servants waiting around all bowed their heads and bowed their backs, not daring to make a sound for fear of offending the queen.
In the palace, who doesn't know that on the surface, the queen is the lord of the Sixth Palace and has the most noble status, but in fact, she is not comparable to the once short-lived Concubine Wan.
There is a place in His Majesty's heart that cannot be replaced by anyone else.
Including the Queen.
Normally, that's fine, but today, it was like slapping the queen in public!
After a long and torturous silence, the queen took a deep breath and raised her head again, having returned to her usual dignity and dignity.
"I'm going to see the fourth princess."
"yes!"
…
As soon as she arrived at Rong Zhen's bedroom, the queen saw a group of palace people kneeling outside.
They all looked painful, as if they were undergoing tremendous torture, but they did not dare to make the slightest sound.
And Rong Zhen was sitting at the main entrance of the dormitory, looking at these people with a fierce expression.
Seeing the queen coming, a trace of panic flashed across her face and she stood up quickly.
"Mother, why are you here?"
The queen frowned and said:
"Your father asked me to come and see you. What are you doing?"
She took a closer look and smelled a faint smell of blood.
Rong Zhen said hurriedly:
"Isn't it set up? It's just that they made a mistake and my daughter just punished them a little!"
The queen didn't believe it and looked at the palace people.
"You all get up."
The person in front tried to stand up, but fell to the ground as soon as he moved, holding his knees and wailing.
Only then did the queen realize that there were rusty iron nails stuck in the man's knees!
She took a quick look around and saw that everyone else was doing the same!
She suppressed the anger in her heart:
"Everyone go back and have a rest. I will send someone to look at your injuries. The fourth princess has been in a bad mood recently, and it is inevitable that she has become a little grumpy. But I don't want others to know about this matter. Do you understand?"
Everyone quickly responded and helped him down.
The queen looked at Rong Zhen.
"You come in with me!"
Rong Zhen knew that he was in the wrong, so he had no choice but to follow him in.
The door was locked, and the queen finally spoke calmly.
"What on earth are you doing! I have told you several times that I will never do this again! What will your father think if he finds out!?"
Rong Zhen looked away.
"Father no longer cares about my life or death! I'm just a useless person now, so why does he still care about me?"
The queen suppressed the anger in her heart.
"Your father has promised to help you find some heavenly doctors when the Qingjiao Conference starts. Even if they can't do anything, the envoys from the Tianling Dynasty are already on the way, and they can always help you cure it by then! You now You must make your father feel sorry for you, not hate you!"
Rong Zhen was surprised:
"really?"
"Of course it's true! In addition, what's more important is that your father has promised to release your brother. As long as you can shine at the Qingjiao Conference, you will definitely regain your father's attention! At this critical moment, you But you must not cause any trouble!”
Rong Zhen's expression changed and he quickly said:
"My daughter knows! I won't let you worry!"
As she spoke, she carefully approached, hugged the queen's arm, and murmured:
"I know my mother is the best to me!"
Although the queen was angry, she still felt sorry for her daughter. She touched her hair and advised:
"If the original elixir is damaged, there may not be anything we can do about it. Look at that Chu Liuyue, who was born with incomplete original veins. Hasn't she recovered now?"
When Rong Zhen heard this, a light suddenly flashed in his heart.
"Yes! Queen Mother, how could we forget this?!"
She shook the queen's arm excitedly:
"Didn't all the heavenly doctors in Yaochen Kingdom say that Chu Liuyue's original veins could not be repaired? But later she not only recovered, but also became a genius! Queen Mother, there must be something wrong with this Chu Liuyue!"
The queen frowned slightly:
"you mean-"
"We might as well find Chu Liuyue and ask her how she is doing! My daughter guesses that there must be a mysterious expert behind her! Let her call that person over, maybe she can cure me!"
"What you said is not unreasonable... I didn't think of it before." The queen said thoughtfully, "However, our relationship with that Chu Liuyue is not good, and she may not agree to this matter."
Rong Zhen disagreed.
"So what if she doesn't agree? She's just the daughter of a President of the Guards. Doesn't she even listen to us?"
The queen hesitated.
She remembered that the relationship between Chu Liuyue and Zhenbao Pavilion seemed very unusual...
"It's better to be cautious about this matter. Tomorrow at the Qingjiao meeting, why don't you go with your mother in person and talk to her about this matter. It would be best if she is willing to help. If not..."
Rong Zhen sneered.
"It's not her turn to refuse!"
