In the inner courtyard of the palace, in Hu Lingye's bedroom, Su Zhixi looked at Hu Lingye, who was lying in a suit, and unconsciously felt a little guilty in his heart.

"When did the queen fall asleep?"

"Back to the emperor, last night Niangniang was woken up by a nightmare, and couldn't sleep all night, this morning Niangniang always said that she was a little tired, and she fell asleep after a while."

"Alas, it's all the envoys of the Huns, you wait for it, if the queen wakes up, send someone to report it."

"It's the emperor."

As soon as Su Zhixi went out on the front foot, Hu Lingye got up from the bed.

"Is the emperor far away?"

"Yes, sis. The emperor came last night, but he didn't come in when he saw that the mother had rested, and he came today. The emperor instructed the slave and maid to send someone to spread the word if the mother woke up. ”

"Don't go, the emperor is busy entertaining the envoys of the Huns now, where is there time to care about my life or death."

"Hmm... I'm afraid I haven't heard of it yet, the first beauty was assassinated last night, and the slave heard that her injuries were very serious. ”

"How so, have you heard who did it?"

"I didn't hear of this slave, but then it seems that she was rescued by a man. But wouldn't it be better if she died, so as not to annoy the mother. ”

"Confused, if she loses her life, I will be happy, but after all, she is a member of the Huns, if their king knows, then the crime will probably fall on our heads."

"Niangniang is not good, the emperor just went to see the prince of the Xiongnu Kingdom, could it be just to discuss this matter."

"Yun'er, you go and spread the word, just say that I am awake and feel a little uncomfortable, let the emperor come quickly."

"Oh, okay, slave and maid are going."

In a hurry, he finally waited for Su Zhixi's figure.

"Your Majesty..."

"Are you awake? Yun'er said that you are not feeling well, are you sick? Do you want to call the imperial doctor to take a look? ”

"Oh, the emperor, the concubines are fine, but I'm worried that the emperor won't be able to deal with the envoys of the Huns. That's why Yun'er lied that I was sick. ”

"Don't do this in the future, big things are not as important as your body. Even if the prince of the Xiongnu Kingdom wants to blame me, there is no way to do it, it is a big deal to punish him. ”

"By all means, now that the Xiongnu State and the Western Chu State have been married, if the emperor offends him at this critical moment, won't it make the relationship between the two countries worse."

"But now there is still no whereabouts of Miss Mingzhu, I'm afraid it's really a catastrophe."

"Your Majesty, the concubines have a way, I don't know if it's okay."

"But it doesn't hurt for the queen to say."

"If the emperor is willing to marry Mingzhu, then we can let a woman pretend to be her and marry the emperor, once she enters the harem, she can't meet the prince, and we will find a suitable time to announce that she is dead."

"No, I have already explained that it is enough to have you in the harem, how can you go back on your word and accept her again."

"Your Majesty, when is this, you still have to save face, and besides, which emperor's harem is not three wives and four concubines, you should follow the ancestral system, follow the wishes of the ancestors, and it can be regarded as for the sake of my subjects of Nanzhao State, can't you make a concession?"

"If you can't, you can't, although I'm the emperor, I'm also your husband, how can I go back on my word, even if the Jade Emperor comes to me today, I will never accept Mingzhu as a concubine."

"If the emperor should not allow the concubine, then the concubine will no longer pay attention to the emperor. Your Majesty, please go back. ”

"Father doesn't allow you to bully E-niang, if she is angry, she won't play with me"

I don't know when the little prince of Chengren suddenly ran out, hugging Su Zhixi's thighs hard, trying to calm down the war between the two through his own efforts.

The milky shouts made people feel unbearable, which also eased the tension between Su Zhixi and Hu Lingye.

"Chengren, the father and the queen mother are not quarrelling, but discussing one thing."

"No, isn't my father the emperor always teaching his sons and ministers to know how to be polite, why don't you listen to Eniang's opinion now?"

"Don't be unreasonable, although the person standing in front of you is your father, but he is also the emperor of this country, do you have to know how to respect him?"

"Knowing Eniang, Chengren will not make the same mistake again in the future."

Looking at his aggrieved little appearance, Hu Lingye's heart still couldn't bear it after all, but who called him the only emperor of Su Zhixi, he had to endure this hardship.

"Well, in a few days, E-Niang will take you to Chengyi Wangfu to see Sister Meiyi, okay?"

"Really, great, I haven't seen her in a few days, and I don't know if she's grown taller?"

"Want to know? It would be nice to go and see it, but shouldn't the emperor go back and prepare a gift himself? ”

"Yes, Erchen will go and prepare a gift for her."

With Chengren's departure, the atmosphere between the two cooled down again.

"Your Majesty, if the concubine can give birth to the emperor, why endure the pain of separation. Therefore, the concubine really wants to beg the emperor to accept Mingzhu, which can be regarded as reducing the burden on the concubine. ”

"Let me think about this matter again, the prince of the Xiongnu Kingdom will not leave until the next day, and I will definitely try my best to solve this matter before then."

Since knowing that Mingzhu was hiding in the Realm Palace, Gui Longqin's heart was very conflicted, on the one hand, she wanted to inform Hu Lingye so that she could have the initiative.

But on the one hand, he was afraid that Su Zhixi would move his true feelings and accept Mingzhu as a concubine.

"What is Qin'er worried about?"

"Alas, it's still Mingzhu's business, her injuries have almost recovered in the past few days, and I'm wondering if I should send her back."

"Oh, so Qin'er is worrying about where to send her, right?"

"That's right, the emperor is the emperor after all, I'm afraid that if I send her back to the palace rashly, the emperor will really accept her as a concubine, how sad the queen mother should be."

"Maybe you underestimate the queen too much, she grew up in the Western Regions, and her personality is different from that of the Central Plains woman, and in order to take care of the overall situation, she will definitely agree to this matter."

"So what does the prince mean, let me inform the queen mother in advance and let her choose for herself?"

"Yes, maybe when there is no way, this is the best option."

In this way, after everyone discussed, Gui Longqin asked the queen mother to the palace under the pretense of reminiscing about the old days.

Looking at her increasingly haggard face, Gui Longqin knew that she must have been worrying about this matter these days.

On the one hand, as a woman, she is naturally reluctant to marry her husband, and on the other hand, as the mother of a country, she must be more generous than others.

"Niangniang has been suffering these days, I want you to meet someone, maybe she can relieve your worries."
