Wu Chuan looked at Concubine Chen, and secretly exerted his strength to break away from Concubine Chen. Concubine Chen came to Lingyun Hall in the morning and knelt down outside the Lingyun Hall to ask to see Emperor Chu, her hands were weak, so she had to watch Wu Chuan's sleeves break free of her hands.

"Concubine Chen, the slave will tell you the truth, it has only been long since the last time the princess of the palace made trouble. At the beginning, His Majesty did not forcibly escort the eldest princess to Famen Temple for a year of cultivation because of the love between father and daughter, and also gave the eldest princess a marriage. After that, for the sake of the eldest princess's face, he only ordered someone to confine the eldest princess in his own palace and think about it, and when the wedding date of the eldest princess is approaching in the spring of next year, His Majesty will naturally let the eldest princess lift the ban. ”

"But...... "Concubine Chen wept." But now there are still many months before the wedding, if the eldest princess does not appear in front of people, it will inevitably make people talk about it, how can she go out to socialize in the future? ”

"Hey, Concubine Chen." Wu Chuan said. "The situation in front of us is that Your Majesty is still angry, and you are so entangled and unwilling to leave. The slave can only follow His Majesty's instructions and transfer the female flag guard who is on standby in the Lingyun Hall to ask you to go back. ”

Concubine Chen was shocked for a moment when she heard this, and looked up at Wu Chuan's expression, which didn't seem to be a lie to her.

"Concubine Chen, compared to His Majesty's anger to send the eldest princess to Famen Temple for a year of cultivation, the eldest princess is now back in Yuxiu Palace to think about it and get married, and her situation is much better." Wu Chuan said expressionlessly. "I advise Niangniang, don't annoy Your Majesty by making an inch."

Wu Chuan said, straightened his waist and walked away without looking at Concubine Chen.

Concubine Chen was stunned for a long time, and after coming back to her senses, the whole person collapsed on the ground, only to feel that the coolness gradually crawled all over her body.

"Mother." The palace maid who came with her was also kneeling not far behind her, and when she saw Concubine Chen's body falling, she hurriedly got up and supported her.

"Forget it, help me up." Wu Chuan left without looking back, and Concubine Chen knew that it would be useless to kneel outside the Lingyun Hall for as long as she wanted.

Kneeling on the cold bluestone road outside the Lingyun Hall for almost an hour, even though the palace maid was careful enough to help Concubine Chen get up, Concubine Chen still felt the pain of pins and needles in her knees.

"Mother, be careful." Concubine Chen didn't rest well last night, and she got up early in the morning and knelt outside for a long time, and when she was helped up, she felt collapsed and weak.

"Help me go back to Yuxiu Palace first." Concubine Chen originally thought that she would go to Zhaoyang Palace immediately.

The last time Emperor Chu accidentally injured Xiao Xuan for Xiao Lu, he almost wanted to send Xiao Lu to Famen Temple immediately, but the queen mother arrived in time, not only to protect Xiao Lu, but also to set a marriage for Xiao Lu.

But thinking about her appearance, it was still early to look at the time now, so she had to give up and ordered the palace maid to help her and walk back slowly.

Wu Chuan gradually slowed down when he heard the movement of Concubine Chen getting up behind him.

After a long time, he turned around and watched Concubine Chen slowly leave the Lingyun Hall with the support of the two palace maids.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Chen has already left." Seeing Concubine Chen leave, Wu Chuan went in and replied to Emperor Chu,

"Wu Chuan, you order, before the wedding of the eldest princess, unless I summon her, Concubine Chen is not allowed to enter the Lingyun Palace again." Emperor Chu said coldly.

"The slave knows."

Concubine Chen staggered back to Yuxiu Palace, and the palace maids helped her sit down on the edge of the bed.

Walking all the way back, Concubine Chen was already sweating profusely.

The stinging pain in both knees couldn't help but not alleviate one or two, but the pain became more and more severe.

The palace maid carefully lifted Concubine Chen's skirt and slowly pulled up her trouser legs, only to see Concubine Chen's knees dark and blue.

"Mother?" The palace maid was Concubine Chen's confidant, and she gasped when she saw this and asked. "Do you want the slave to send someone to the hospital and ask the doctor to come and see you?"

"No need." Concubine Chen leaned against the bed, her whole body seemed to be out of strength, and she spoke weakly. "It's just some black green, you just bring a hot towel and give me a hot compress. And the medicinal food for the eldest princess, have you prepared it? ”

"Back to my mother's words." The palace maid got up and instructed the people waiting outside to bring hot water and towels, and replied to Concubine Chen. "Your instructions to the slave and maid dare not forget, the medicinal food you ordered to make for the eldest princess was made in the pot early in the morning. It's about the same heat, and by noon, it's almost ready to be taken to the eldest princess. ”

In the afternoon, Concubine Chen took someone to send medicinal food to Xiao Lu.

"Eldest Princess, this is the medicinal diet that Concubine Chen's mother asked the slave maid to bring, and please use it while it is hot, so that the effect of dietary therapy will be the best," just walked to the front of the palace, and Concubine Chen, who was still a little inconvenient to walk, did not go in person, but patted the palace maid to go in and hand over the medicinal food to Xiao Lu.

"Why didn't my mother come?" Xiao Lu looked at the food box that the palace maid put on the table and asked.

"Niangniang didn't rest well last night, and she got cold again this morning." The palace maid neatly laid out the contents of the food box. "Niangniang said that when she gets better tomorrow, she will come to see the eldest princess."

"Forget it, since the mother concubine is not happy, you go back and say it for me and the mother concubine." Xiao Lu took the spoon in her hand, and her fingers subconsciously rubbed the edge of the bowl, and after a while, she raised her head and said. "The mother concubine doesn't have to be in a hurry to come and see me tomorrow, in the end, it is still the mother concubine who worries about me to hurt the mother concubine's body, you are the person who needs to be used by the mother concubine, help me persuade the mother concubine, so that she must take care of her body,"

Concubine Chen was standing not far from the palace gate, the palace door was not closed very tightly, and Concubine Chen heard every word of Xiao Lu in the door.

"Yes, the slave will definitely bring the words of the eldest princess to Concubine Chen."

Until the morning of the second day, Concubine Chen still didn't sleep all night, but fortunately, the black green on her knees was still almost scattered, and she was already able to move freely.

She came to Zhaoyang Palace to ask to see the queen, and the queen knew yesterday that Concubine Chen went to Lingyun Hall early in the morning to kneel and ask to see Emperor Chu, and she had long expected that she would come to see her today.

Concubine Chen only waited outside for a while, and Jinxiu came out to welcome her in.

"Concubine Chen is here." The queen sitting on the main seat was drinking tea, and when she saw Concubine Chen coming in, she hurriedly beckoned her to sit down. "Sit down."

"The queen mother, the concubines don't sit." Concubine Chen stood in place and said. "The concubine has a reluctant request, begging the mother to help the concubine."

Concubine Chen said this with tears in her eyes, seeing that her knees moved and she was about to kneel down, the queen only glanced at Jinxiu who was standing beside Chenfen.

Jinxiu understood, and immediately took action to stabilize Concubine Chen's body, and pushed her to sit down on the chair on the side.

"Concubine Chen, since you are here today, I almost know what you ask me to help with." The queen put down the teacup in her hand, looked at Concubine Chen, who looked panicked, and said slowly. "What you're asking for can't be said in one or two sentences, so sit down and talk about it. Jinxiu, why are you still stunned, let someone serve tea to Concubine Chen. ”

The queen's words have been said about this, and no matter how eager Concubine Chen is, she can only sit down honestly.

It was easy to wait for Concubine Chen to take a sip of tea, barely stabilizing her mind, she was about to speak, but the queen took the initiative to speak.

"Someone has already reported to me what happened outside the Lingyun Hall early yesterday morning." In the words of the queen. "Your Majesty has given an order, before the wedding of the eldest princess. If Your Majesty does not take the initiative to summon you to Lingyun Palace, you are not allowed to enter Lingyun Hall again. ”

Hearing this, the blood on Concubine Chen's face immediately faded cleanly.

"Hey, how else are you going for me to mention you?" The queen pretended to be helpless, and spread her hands and said to Concubine Chen. "It's only been two days since I returned to the palace, and Your Majesty hasn't lost your breath yet, so you might as well go to Lingyun Hall in the morning and kneel outside the Lingyun Hall to see Your Majesty. You say you're going to confess, but in fact, no one can see your intentions? ”

"The queen mother, it is indeed a concubine who is reckless for a while." Concubine Chen straightened her waist and busily defended herself. "But Lu'er will get married in a few months, if she has been locked up in Yuxiu Palace and no one has been seen, I don't know how much gossip will be born in the imperial capital. Minister..... The concubine knew that Lu'er should be punished for making a mistake, and the concubine just wanted to beg His Majesty for one or two more leniencies, and not really lock Lu'er up until the day of her marriage and then release her,"

"You're so confused." The queen pointed at Concubine Chen, sighed and said. "If you have to wait a few days to make this happen, don't you have to say it in those two days?"

"The queen mother, the concubine is really helpless." Concubine Chen lowered her head and whimpered. "Niangniang didn't see Lu'er's current appearance, she was so thin that she lost her appearance, if she had been working so hard until the day she got married, she didn't know what she would become. The concubine knew that she didn't teach her well, she was stupid, and she caused this incident again, but she really knew her mistake this time, and the concubine promised that she would not do it again. ”

"From childhood to adulthood, you have been this set of rhetoric whenever she makes a mistake." The Queen shook her head. "Concubine Chen, don't blame me for not wanting to help you, it's just that I can't rush to anger Your Majesty at this time."

Listening to the meaning of the queen's words, she was unwilling to meddle in this matter, and Concubine Chen begged the queen with choked and sobbed.

"Queen Mother, please pity Lu'er one more time." Concubine Chen blurted out. "When she lifts the ban, the concubines will definitely take a good look at her, and they will never leave day and night."

"Hey, forget it." The queen had no choice but to agree, "I will think of interceding for the eldest princess in front of His Majesty, but not now, do you know?" ”

The queen was relieved, and Concubine Chen was so excited that she got up and knelt down in front of the queen, kowtowing again and again.

"As long as the mother is willing to help, the concubine is already grateful." Concubine Chen said.

"Alright, get up." The queen waved her hand, and Jinxiu stepped forward to help Concubine Chen up. "You can stay in Yuxiu Palace for a while."
