The eldest prince's heart was a little calmer. He bowed to Chu Huotian again and again: "Now my nephew can only rely on the emperor's uncle for help, and now my mother doesn't know where to go, and the emperor's uncle is the closest person to my nephew...... If this Chu country is not borne by the emperor's uncle, where will I be able to prosper in Chu. ”

Chu Huotian patted his thin shoulder and sighed: "Your mother and concubine Benhou will send more people to find it, it's a pity that the emperor can't see it, it's a pity, it's hateful......"

The eldest prince sighed for a while before respectfully saying goodbye and going back.

Zhao Qingling saw his figure gradually moving away, and suddenly smiled and said: "This big prince is too bad at talking, can the Hou Ye hear anything?" ”

Chu Huotian smiled coldly, straightened his sleeves and said: "He said, if this Chu State is not borne by Benhou, where will the Great Chu be prosperous, hum...... Today he may just say a compliment, but in the future, this sentence will be his murder knife. ”

Zhao Qingling smiled and nodded: "Emperors have been like this since ancient times!" After saying that, he retreated.

……

The situation in the entire Chujing is now on the verge of breaking out, and everyone is nervous. Queen Wang is getting bigger and bigger in the harem now, and Chu Huotian's people can't find any news in it.

But four or five days after Emperor Chu became seriously ill, he suddenly began to meet the princes of the imperial family, which made everyone breathe a sigh of relief.

After seeing Emperor Chu, Emperor Chu was also sober, and the princes and nobles were relieved. Queen Wang was in charge of harem affairs in the harem, and suddenly made a decree to invite Princess Chu into the palace to say hello.

Concubine Chu was also shocked when she received the order, and hurriedly went to ask Chu Huotian, Chu Huotian frowned and said: "If you go, you will go, Xu is to repair the alliance with Benhou, what to do, how to say, you should have a score in your heart, don't be trapped." ”

Concubine Chu hurriedly agreed. It's nothing special to go later, just ask questions, chat about family life, and enjoy the flowers. Queen Wang had a very happy expression, and said to Concubine Chu: "We are also concubines, now because we were born in the royal family, we have a lot of births, the emperor and the marquis are both born to the same mother, it stands to reason that we should move around more and get close." ”

Concubine Chu hurriedly smiled and said: "The queen is in charge of the harem, where do the concubines dare to disturb it." Besides, the Hou Ye is not in the house all the year round, and there are a lot of affairs in the house, and he often thinks that he should say goodbye to the queen mother in a few days after being busy for a day, but he can't find a suitable opportunity. Now that the queen has sent her concubines to come, won't the concubines come. ”

Queen Wang stroked the exquisite hollow gold armor inlaid with eight treasures on her hand, smiled on her face, and her red and glamorous lips curved out of a beautiful and strange arc: "This is very good, I heard that the Hou Ye is very self-loving, and there are very few concubines in the house." Alas...... My sister is really good, where is it like this palace...... Guarding the deep palace alone, you have to be climbed on the head by those little hooves. ”

After saying that, he let out a long sigh.

Concubine Chu didn't know whether to answer or not, so she had to laugh a few times and comfort: "The queen is in her prime and the mother of a country, where can the concubines compare to the queen." ”

Queen Wang smiled slightly and suddenly said: "I heard that Chu Dinghou brought back a beauty from Huaguo, I heard that she is very beautiful, and even Chu Dinghou, who is not greedy for beauty, also frequently loves pets, but is there such a thing?" ”

Concubine Chu smiled embarrassedly: "Back to the queen, she is very beautiful and docile, and now that she is pregnant, it is also right for the Hou Ye to like her." ”

Queen Wang glanced at her expression and smiled: "The woman who can make Chu Dinghou like it, this palace also wants to see it, and if it is pleasing to the eye, I will reward something, so I will rush her to carry the blood of the Hou Ye and spread the branches for the royal family, and the palace will also reward her well, and you will bring her into the palace tomorrow to show the palace." ”

Concubine Chu didn't know what she was thinking, so she had to respond.

Queen Wang left her to drink tea again, and Concubine Chu left the palace.

Concubine Chu returned to the Hou Mansion with some trepidation, and the smile on Queen Wang's face somehow made her feel chills in her heart. She pondered for a night, but she couldn't think of what kind of medicine was sold in the queen's gourd. That night, the people hurriedly reported to Chu Dinghou to know, but Chu Dinghou was in the camp on the outskirts of Beijing, how could he come back and forth in a day? Besides, whether you can find others or not.

Concubine Chu had no idea in her heart, so early the next morning, she wore a pair of dark circles under her eyes, dressed neatly, and arrived at the "Jingyun Pavilion" early.

When she arrived, Ouyang Zhen was just getting up for breakfast, and Ling Xiang beside her was also being fed by Ming Ying Wanhui, her little face was full of porridge, and the people in the room suddenly saw Concubine Chu wearing palace clothes and walked in solemnly, and they were all in a hurry.

Wan Hui hurriedly took Ling Xiang down, and Ming Ying hurriedly packed up the tea. In the "Jingyun Pavilion", people suddenly turned on their backs, Ouyang Zhen was frightened, and he hurriedly got up and said deeply: "Respectfully ask the princess Jin An, the concubine is dead, I didn't go to the princess in time to ask for peace, please punish the princess." ”

Concubine Chu sighed, sat on the main seat, glanced at them and saw that they looked flustered, and said with a wry smile: "Okay, what should I do, what should I do, Concubine Ben and the Seventh Lady will say a few words." ”

As soon as they did it, they all retreated. Ouyang Zhen cautiously stepped forward, only to see Concubine Chu's face full of tiredness, no matter how delicate makeup she was, she couldn't hide the deep dark circles under her eyes.

"Princess, please have tea. What is there to say to the concubine, did the concubine do something wrong......" The more Ouyang Zhen said, the more frightened the expression appeared on her beautiful face, Concubine Chu was really scared to death by dressing like this.

Concubine Chu supported her temples with her fingers, as if she was barely trying to support the heavy head of the golden hairpin and Zhucui. She said weakly: "I saw the queen yesterday, and she said that she wanted to see you, and by the way, I would reward you with something." This is not long in the morning, the concubine is dressed like this. I came back late last night, so I didn't send someone to talk to you, but poor concubine didn't sleep all night last night, and she couldn't think of a way. I don't know what to do yet. ”

Ouyang Zhen got up in surprise when he heard this, and stammered slightly on his pretty face: "The queen wants to see the concubine?" The princess is joking. …… This is just to say that the concubine occasionally feels cold, and the concubine has an ugly face, how can she see the queen? As he spoke, he frowned slightly, his face full of panic.

Concubine Chu sighed and said, "Yesterday I said I wanted to see you, but today I said that I was sick, how can I make the queen believe it?" I can't get the whole charge down......" said with a bitter face. She was dressed in a luxurious palace dress, wrapping her body that was not plump, and she looked as dry and thin as if she was sick.

Ouyang Zhen's heart was cold when he heard this, although she was in the courtyard of the deep mansion, but she also knew some things between the queen and the Hou Ye, and now if she really couldn't shirk it, maybe she really let the queen catch something.
