At night, Changle Palace.

"Caiping, I asked you to tell the emperor that Ran'er's illness has recurred, did you say it?" Concubine Shu leaned against the door frame of the palace door, looking anxiously in the direction of the outside, she had been waiting here for almost half an hour, but she still did not see the person she was waiting for.

Caiping stepped forward and saluted, lowered her head and said, "Niangniang, the slave has already said it, and the emperor also said that when I am free, I will come back to our Changle Palace to have a look......"

"Idle, idle! When will the emperor be free! Concubine Shugui said angrily, "The emperor hasn't come to Changle Palace for several days...... It's just that Mo Ruan just advised me about establishing a prince, and the emperor avoided me like this, because he didn't want to make my Ran'er the crown prince at all! ”

"Alas...... Niangniang, you don't have to think too much," Caiping hurriedly persuaded, "Maybe the emperor is really busy with government affairs during this time...... Today, the emperor heard about the recurrence of His Royal Highness's illness, and he will definitely take the time to come! ”

Concubine Shu seemed to want to say something, but she felt that why she should say something depressing, so that she could not even have a little hope, so she simply shook her head, and finally sighed.

After a long time, seeing that the sky had darkened, Concubine Shu became more and more anxious.

Shen Lun has no news at all these days, when Concubine Shu once took the soup she cooked with her own hands to the Heart Cultivation Palace, she was also prevaricated by him on the grounds of 'busy government affairs' and 'how can Ran'er still be in the mood to do this when she is seriously ill'.

On weekdays, Concubine Shu would not be so restless, just because not long ago, Mo Ruan and Shi Yuan had a big quarrel in the court because of the matter of Lichu, and now Shen Lun is avoiding her, how can people not think about it?

"! The emperor is here! Just when Concubine Shu was bored, Caiping suddenly rushed in from outside and shouted excitedly.

"What!? The emperor is really here!? Concubine Shu was slightly stunned at first, she got up quickly, and suddenly sat back as if she remembered something, removed the hairpin on her head, and reached out to scratch her hair, and then stood up again with a haggard face.

Shen Lun walked in from the outside with someone, and happened to bump into Shu Guifei who was about to go out, he saw that she didn't apply powder, her face was haggard, and even her hair was messy, so he felt a pang in his heart, and he quickly took Shu Guifei into his arms before he had time to say anything, "Tsk, why is Shu Guifei so haggard?" I'm just not here for a few days, so why can't you take care of yourself? ”

Caiping and Concubine Shugui on the side secretly exchanged glances, Caiping bowed and said in a curled voice: "Will the emperor's words...... These days, in order to take care of His Royal Highness, Concubine Shu has been undressing all day long, and she misses His Majesty...... It's even more emaciated. ”

There are some things that are more effective when others say them than when they say them themselves.

After listening to Caiping's words, Shen Lun felt even more distressed, so he hurriedly sat down in his seat with Concubine Shu, and said softly: "My heart, liver, liver, and liver...... You can't be like this in the future, doesn't Ran'er's illness say that he has improved a lot, and the things that should be handed over to the next person will be handed over to the next person to do, and you can't do everything yourself in the future. ”

"It's not because Ran'er is a concubine and the emperor's child......" Concubine Shugui frowned, and the little bird leaned on Shen Lun's shoulder, "The concubine loves the emperor, so she will love Ran'er even more." Even if the concubine is for the emperor, it is impossible for the hearts of the people to let Ran'er suffer from illness all the time......"

Therefore, a woman's biggest advantage is her gender, and Concubine Shugui's slight coquettishness made Shen Lun's heart itch. The proud son of the sky in the yellow robe on the dragon chair also became like a 'down-to-earth' favorite wife madman at this moment, looking at the Jiaojiao in his arms with concern in his eyes.

The two only lingered for a short while, and Concubine Shu finally couldn't bear it, and cautiously tentatively said, "Then again...... During this time, the emperor was also very busy, and I don't know what the concubines can worry about for the emperor? ”

Shen Lun thought in silence for a while, then sighed and slowly spoke, "Alas...... Jiaojiao'er ...... Have you paved the way for Ran'er's future? ”

"This ......" Where Shen Lun couldn't see, Concubine Shugui's eyes turned quickly, but she immediately returned to that little look of being at a loss, "The only wish that the concubine has for Ran'er is that he can grow up peacefully, and then he can share the emperor's worries and take on the responsibilities he should bear as a prince......"

Shen Lun nodded.

Such an answer was also something that Shen Lun had already expected. Regardless of whether Concubine Shu Guifei had ever thought about making Shen Ran the crown prince, she would not dare to say it directly.

"Ran'er's body...... It's really not suitable for going through too much devastation......"

Hearing this, Concubine Shu's heart was not good, she originally wanted to pretend to be clean, not only to lower Shen Lun's vigilance, but also to invisibly use her own pity to soften Shen Lun's heart, but she didn't want Shen Lun to plan it?

She hurriedly grabbed Shen Lun's hand and said, "Your Majesty! How can it be considered 'devastated' to share your worries and bear the things he should have borne in the first place!? This, these are the things that Ran'er should do, if she deprives Ran'er of her rights and obligations just because of a 'bad health'...... He's going to be unhappy himself! ”

Concubine Shu touched two handfuls of tears and continued, "I already blamed myself for my body...... The emperor is sympathetic to Ran'er and doesn't arrange so many courses, but Ran'er will learn more by herself every day after learning the things arranged by the emperor...... The last thing Ran'er wants to see is your contempt for the emperor! ”

Shen Lun smacked his tongue and didn't say anything.

Concubine Shugui's words said that Shen Ran was unwilling to be treated so contemptuously, but in fact, it was clear that she was unwilling. Also...... How can a mother be willing to give up her child when faced with the right to inherit the throne? Shen Lun still understands this very well.

Shen Ran or Shen Mi?

As far as the situation is concerned, then Shen Lun is certainly more likely to choose Shen Ran. Concubine Shu's family can support the royal family, and she is also her favorite concubine, a virtuous lady, after the queen Mo stepped down, he will inevitably straighten her up.

But logically speaking, Shen Lun should still choose Shen Mi.

The more I thought about it, the more worried I became, Shen Lun fortunately didn't think about it anymore, "Okay, okay, I rarely have a day of leisure today, don't talk about that, Jiaojiao'er has something to eat here, I've been busy all day, and now I'm so hungry." ”

"Yes, yes," Concubine Shu had to wipe the tears off her face, "Concubine will go and get ......"
