Emperor Jiahe arrived at Zhaoning Palace.

When he walked outside the palace, looking at the familiar and somewhat unfamiliar palace wall, Emperor Jiahe realized that he hadn't been here for almost three months.

No wonder she fell ill.

When he walked into the palace gate, he thought that when he came over, he would have been waiting for him in a regular shirt and skirt in the yard. His face was gentle, Emperor Jiahe felt more and more guilty. When he quietly entered the inner room, he saw Concubine Shu whose eyes were sleeping on the bed, and when he saw her obviously clear face, his heart couldn't help but feel ache. He waved his hand to signal Eunuch Cen Wanquan and others to go down. He sat tilted on the bed, holding Concubine Shu's slender hand in his hand, and couldn't help but touch her face.

I am almost forty years old. No matter how well I take care of it, there are fine lines at the corners of my eyes.

But she never tried to hide it in front of him, and would not wear heavy makeup like the queen. When Brother Yan came over, she smiled and taught Brother Yan to touch the fish patterns on the corner of her grandmother's eyes. He was sitting next to her, feeling that her natural and ordinary appearance was no less than when she was young.

Touching and pausing.

Emperor Jiahe's eyes fell on Shufei's long hair, which was still as black as satin. It was because of this that the silver thread was so obvious and dazzling.

Emperor Jiahe was shocked and searched carefully. He confirmed that there was only one. He carefully pulled it off.

After all, it is a woman who will not be happy to know that she has had a premature birth.

"Emperor?" There was a slight pain in his mind. Concubine Shu had something to do in her heart and was already sleeping lightly. After waking up, she saw the man in front of her and spoke in surprise.

Emperor Jiahe naturally put down his hand, put his sleeves together, and while secretly wrapping the silver thread around his fingers and finally putting it in the sleeve bag, he spoke to her softly: "Why don't you tell me if you are sick?"

Asked, she asked, but she didn't need to answer the question and it was clear that the reason was. She never competed for favor. When he came, she treated each other gently. If he didn't come, she was content with her. Sometimes Emperor Jiahe hoped that Concubine Shu would be jealous like Concubine Duan before, so that he knew that she also cared about his favor, but she never did. Until today, he realized that she just didn't say it. In fact, she cared about it. She cared about illness and had white hair.

The man's eyes were gentle and guilty. Concubine Shu looked at him for a moment and understood.

Thinking about my illness, I'm afraid everyone will attribute it to falling out of favor?

Concubine Shu didn't explain and said in a low voice: "It's not a problem, why bother to alarm the emperor? It will be cured for a few days. I know that the emperor is worried about me, but this disease is easy to get out of reach. The emperor should go back first."

She was so thin that Emperor Jiahe could not bear to leave.

He was blamed for being confused. He was sorry for Zhong Ting, but Concubine Shu did nothing wrong. She had been with him for more than 20 years and gave birth to children for him. He gave up on her all at once. Wouldn't he be sorry for her? Zhong Ting should not be disappointed, can Concubine Shu live up to her? Since Zhong Ting has been reincarnated and returned to him, she obviously figured it out, and she was willing to persuade him to come over. Isn't it because she doesn't mind sharing him with others?

One was what he liked when he was young, and the other was what he liked for more than 20 years, and he couldn't bear to leave.

Gently rubbing the silver thread in the sleeve, Emperor Jiahe shouted Wanquan in: "I've rested here tonight. Take the memorials on the table that I haven't reviewed yet."

Wan Quan retreated with a smile.

Concubine Shu was flattered and wanted to persuade her, but she stopped talking when she met Emperor Jiahe's unstoppable gaze.

In the evening, Emperor Jiahe personally fed Concubine Shu with medicine. After Concubine Shu was asleep, he called Doctor Liu outside to inquire about his condition.

Doctor Liu bent down and said, "Long live, the empress is not seriously injured. This time she fell ill, because she was too worried and had liver qi stagnation. As long as the empress's heart disease is cured, she will recover as usual."

Emperor Jiahe nodded. After Doctor Liu left, he sat alone for a long time, whispered to Wanquan, and then went into the house to rest. Heart disease was also a disease. Of course, he would not do anything that night, but just hugged Concubine Shu in his arms and patted her gently.

Behind the Chongzheng Palace, Guan Ying stayed alone in the empty room for the first time after serving in bed, and was a little uncomfortable.

Xia Yin took the ivory to help her open her hair. Seeing the beauty pouting her mouth in the mirror, she smiled and said with a smile: "Master is unhappy? Don't, Empress Shu is still an old man in the palace no matter what, it is normal for the emperor to care about it. If the master is generous, the emperor will pamper his master even more. If the master is jealous of this, the emperor will definitely not be happy with the master. A while ago, the Empress came here to persuade the emperor to enjoy the rain and dew. Have you forgotten how angry the emperor is?"

Guan Ying was shocked.

Yes, that's the emperor. How could she hope to be favored by the harem? It's been less than three months since she was favored by her. The queen looked at her and reminded her around the bush that after a long time, she was the queen after all. She really wanted to punish her. Can Emperor Jiahe really protect her?

After thinking it through, Guan Ying felt much more comfortable. When she lay on the bed, she finally didn't have to deal with Emperor Jiahe's repeated requests to have a comfortable sleep. Guan Ying felt that Emperor Jiahe was good to go to favor Concubine Shu occasionally, but it would be better not to go to the queen. Concubine Shu she had seen, and she was a kind person. The queen looked like she was not worthy of her view. Guan Ying disliked the most.

The master went to bed, Xia Yin and Dongxue packed their things together, walked to the door of the inner room, Dongxue looked at the person sleeping soundly in the gauze tent, and whispered to her partner: "The Empress is sick, should we give it to the prince..."

Xia Yin signaled her with her eyes, "Don't forget the prince's order."

Dongxue felt awe-inspiring in her heart and no longer thought about it.

Fu Rong loves to sleep in, and Xu Jin will sleep in with her when she is free, but since there is a brother who will wake up on time in the morning at home, the couple has not been lazy to sleep and get up early to play with their son.

The nine-month-old man, sitting in the car, could stand up tremblingly while holding the railing, and stretched his little head and looked at everything in his garden curiously.

The family of three was about to go to Fenglin, but Xu Jia hurried over: "Prince, the empress is sick, the emperor, Prince Xuan, enters the palace."

Xu Jin was quite calm and asked him in a deep voice: "Who will announce the order? Can the Empress have what disease?"

Xu Jia said: "It is Eunuch Wan's apprentice, Eunuch Lu. Judging from his words, the Empress is not seriously injured."

Fu Rong finally breathed a sigh of relief and urged in a low voice: "Then let's go quickly."

Xu Jin nodded, reached out and carried the unknown brother to his arms, and strode back to Fuqiyuan.

After changing clothes, the family of three hurried into the palace.

The people of Zhaoning Palace knew nothing about their arrival. When the gatekeeper saw Prince Su who was supposed to be incarcerated in the palace, he was overjoyed and hurriedly sent someone to communicate. When Concubine Shu heard the news and was about to get up happily, her son and daughter-in-law had already entered the door.

"Mom, why are you sick?" Fu Rong quickly rushed to the bedside. Seeing that his mother-in-law looked haggard, her eyes couldn't help but feel sore: "I heard from Eunuch Cen that you have been sick for several days, so why didn't you send someone to tell us?"

Concubine Shu knew why she was sick, so she was not worried about being sick and angry with her grandson. She smiled and said perfunctoryly, and her heart flew on Brother Wang, "Brother Wang is so old, can you still recognize her grandmother?" The child grew fast and hadn't seen him for more than two months. Concubine Shu had long thought about it.

Xu Jin sent his son over, "Brother Wang rubbed his grandmother, and his grandmother's shoulders hurt."

Brother Wang was smart. On the way, he got his mother's repeated instructions. At this time, he obediently leaned into his grandmother's arms and reached out to rub his shoulders.

Concubine Shu was soft-hearted. No matter how much she was worried, she saw her white, fat, smart and sensible grandson, and hugged her brother and said nonstop: "They all have six teeth, just like Jingxing. Jingxing also grew six when she was nine months old. His sixth uncle was late and she only had teeth eight months old..."

Knowing that his mother-in-law likes his grandson, Fu Rong smiled and talked about his son's interesting things, especially when Xu Jin was recovering from his injuries, Brother Wang always liked to pick him up scabs. Concubine Shu couldn't help laughing and smiled constantly.

Brother Wang also knew that the elders were talking about him, and he kept grinning, as if someone was praising him.

As the one being joked, Xu Jin smiled slightly and reached out to bounce Fu Rong's head: "To make my mother happy, you even arranged me. Why don't you talk about your dreams of laughing out loud?"

Fu Rong pretended to glare at him.

Xu Jin looked at his mother and saw that his mother was thinking about Brother Wang. He winked at Eunuch Cen and went outside.

"Why is the Empress sick?"

This matter is very important and involves too many things. If it were Xu Qing, Eunuch Cen would never say it, but it was Xu Jin's turn to rely on Zhaoning Palace in the future. Eunuch Cen lowered his voice and said it all in all, from Aunt Li's death to Emperor Jiahe coming to visit and stay overnight, without saying a word.

Xu Jin stood facing a painting on the wall. Eunuch Cen could not see his expression, but only heard his low voice: "Madam Wen is in the palace. Even if she comes back, at her age, she can't help the Empress. Now Aunt Li is gone, and you are the only one confidant left by the Empress. Eunuch Cen, the Empress believes in you, and I believe in you too."

"I will definitely not let down the trust of the Empress and the Prince." Eunuch Cen knelt down and lowered his head and said, "Please rest assured that as long as the slave is here, there will never be any trouble for the Empress."

Xu Jin asked him to get up and returned to the inner room.

"Brother Wang hasn't entered the palace for a long time. You can take him out for a walk." Xu Jin pressed Fu Rong's shoulder and said.

Fu Rong raised his head unexpectedly and met the man's calm phoenix eyes. He understood that he had something to say to his mother-in-law, so he smiled and wrapped Brother Wang up, and said to Concubine Shu: "Then I will take Brother Wang out for a walk first, and then come to accompany my mother later."

Concubine Shu nodded and watched the mother and mother go out, then turned to look at Xu Jin.

Xu Jin sat in Fu Rong's seat just now, looked at his mother and said, "Does mom suspect her cousin?"

Concubine Shu smiled bitterly.

When the incident happened, she thoroughly investigated Zhaoning Palace. There was a son outside, but the mother and the mother found nothing. After suspicion of Cui Wan, she knew that she could not find any evidence. Instead of being suspicious in her heart, she was worried that she would wrongly accuse her niece and then she was worried that she would let the villain go, so she might as well call Cui Wan in to question her face.

She has lived in the palace for so many years, but she still can't see what a little girl is thinking?

As a result, Cui Wan hurt herself with scissors without mercy.

Concubine Shu felt sorry for her. It was not an exaggeration to say that she was a child she raised with her own hands. Seeing that she was injured like this and she shed so much blood, she seemed to have hurt herself. At that time, she thought, so what if it was her niece who did it? As long as her niece lives well, she is willing to forgive her. As long as her niece is willing to change and live a good life with her sixth brother, she is willing to give her another chance.

But in this way, she would be sorry for her daughter-in-law.

The palms and backs of hands are full of flesh, what should she do?

After cutting off the marriage between Cui Wan and Xu Jun, will Cui Wan be ashamed and seek death again? Will her be angry and sad? Will her blame her brother? Also, the eldest son has just resisted the imperial edict and refused the marriage of his concubine. The second son is a marriage she has been optimistic about since childhood. She regrets her after Emperor Jiahe’s order to marry him. What would Emperor Jiahe think? Do you think that both mother and son don’t take his face to heart?

If she acquiesced to continue the marriage, it would be fine if Cui Wan was willing to be content. What if she had the intention to assassinate Fu Rongniang? She was so scheming, and she was killer when she took action. She was also cruel enough to herself. She was so fierce and extreme that she seemed to have changed her own...

Thinking that the girl she was raising was actually a poisonous snake inside, Concubine Shu was sad again.

Xu Jin handed the handkerchief, and there were some things that needless to be said, and he understood his mother's difficulties.

"Mom, I have long suspected my cousin. When Eunuch Cen said that in order to prove that she was seeking death, I was convinced that it was her who murdered Fu Rong." Xu Jin said softly.

A truly innocent person who is wronged by the closest person will feel wronged and afraid, and even get angry that her relatives don’t believe in her. She will never immediately think of proving her innocence by death, especially if she has a great marriage ahead. Cui Wan’s cleverness is mistaken for her, and her mother must have understood this and fell ill.

Because I was betrayed by the person I trust the most, because I could not deal with it with the same heart.

Concubine Shu was not surprised or defended Cui Wan. She wiped her tears and asked calmly: "What are you going to do?"

Xu Jin looked straight into his mother's eyes and said calmly: "For the sake of my grandfather's face, and because I regard her as my own sister for more than ten years, I only thought that she had not grown up in the last time. I made a mistake because of a moment of confusion. I am willing to give her another chance. As long as she knows the mistake, she will correct her mistake. In the future, I will regard that incident as never happened. But if she does not repent, I will let her see her true face and leave it to her for the sixth brother."

What will happen to Cui Wan? Let’s talk about it later. The most important thing at the moment is to comfort her mother.

Concubine Shu stared at her eldest son in a daze, but she didn't expect that he was so generous.

Xu Jin smiled and softened his voice: "Mom, I know this. You don't have to worry about anything, and don't mention it to my sixth brother. He is impulsive and causes trouble even if he is fine. I will make the decision on everything. I will not make people ruin our brotherly relationship, nor will I hurt Brother Fu Rongrong again. I am just afraid you will be sad for this. Mom, for your son, Brother Wang, and for your future grandchildren, you can relax and take good care of yourself, okay?"

Every time he said something, Shufei's tears would be added, and finally she turned around and started crying.

The one she deserves most in her life is this eldest son.

"Empress, prince, the emperor is here."

Eunuch Cen personally raised the curtain for Emperor Jiahe, while reminding him with a smile.

Concubine Shu hurriedly wiped her tears, and Xu Jin stood up and knelt down to Emperor Jiahe: "My son has seen his father."

When Emperor Jiahe saw that Concubine Shu was crying like a tearful person, he thought she had vented her grievances for a while. She was a little embarrassed and a little funny. She really thought she was gentle and dignified, but in fact she was so kind that she was so kind that she showed her son.

Sitting on the bed, Emperor Jiahe looked at Concubine Shu jokingly, and the Concubine Shu was so clear that she called Xu Jin to get up, "Where is Brother Wang?"
