Chu Wanxiang was stunned and froze in place.

The emperor walked in, and when he saw this, he was furious and ordered the imperial doctor to treat him.

"What did you say?" Chu Wanxiang's eyes widened, in disbelief. new

"The slave maid said...... Aunt Su paused, raised her head, and her eyes flashed with a resolute look, "The slave would rather die than do such an ugly thing, the slave would rather die."

As she spoke, she suddenly pulled out the dagger at her waist and stabbed her neck, but was blocked by the two palace laves, and then she was dragged down, screaming miserably. Chu Wanxiang came back to her senses and hurriedly knelt down to plead: "The emperor forgives the sin!"

The emperor looked at her coldly for a few seconds: "You get up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Chu Wanxiang stood up.

"This time it was my negligence, and I almost let the female take advantage of the loophole." The emperor's tone was cold and ruthless, "None of you are allowed to mention Jiang Qiyun again, especially you, Aunt Huang!"

Chu Wanxiang lowered her eyes and nodded.

"Alright, let's all step down. The emperor is tired and needs to rest." The queen said.

The crowd dispersed.

Chu Duchen walked a few steps, stopped, and a low and pleasant voice came: "Third sister, you can forget about today's incident, don't think about it anymore."

Chu Wanxiang pursed her lips and smiled: "Brother Huang, don't worry, the concubine herself knows the proportions. The concubine is tired and wants to go back to her room to rest."

"Well, let's go." Chu Duchen nodded.

Chu Wanxiang returned to her bedroom and sat in front of the dressing mirror to comb the green silk. She had deliberately provoked Chu Duchen just now, in order to prove that she was not lying. Although she didn't know how the emperor knew who was behind the scenes, she didn't know how much he knew. But Chu Duchen is a cautious person and will not take risks.

Sure enough, Chu Duchen was suspicious of her

。 Since he was suspicious of her, then she would do what she could, using this to test Chu Duchen, and if he was really using herself, she would be exposed.

She doesn't care about the royal power struggle and struggle, she just wants to find her brother and live in peace. As long as she lives, her brother will always come back to her.

If she died, her brother would not live alone, and he would definitely avenge her!

Thinking of this, Chu Wanxiang's eyes darkened.

"Mother, it's time for lunch." The palace maid reminded softly.

"Oh." Chu Wanxiang got up and prepared to change her clothes and go to dinner.

"Mother, the slave maid gives you wide clothes." The palace maid on the side brought a dress and waited for Chu Wanxiang to dress neatly.

"Mother, Your Majesty has summoned you." A grandmother hurried to say goodbye.

"Summoned by the Emperor?" Chu Wanxiang raised her eyebrows, "Let someone pass on the word to the emperor, and I will go over immediately."

Chu Wanxiang went to the imperial study, the emperor was dealing with the chapter, and when he saw her coming, he motioned for her to sit down, saying, "I have ordered someone to investigate this case thoroughly, and the murderer must be severely punished!"

"Yes, the daughter-in-law believes that this matter has nothing to do with the mother."

"If only you could think like that." The emperor praised, "You are simple and kind, I like it very much."

"Father's praise. The daughter-in-law also believes in the mother."

The emperor sighed and said, "Your mother is old and can't stand the toss, and I hope she will spend the rest of her life in peace.

I have decreed that the ban on harem concubines will be abolished, and from now on you will do your part to minimize disputes. Support one another and humble one another.

Queen, you have to urge Xi Yao to teach her more rules and etiquette, so as not to let her lose the face of our royal family."

"Yes." Chu Wanxiang replied respectfully, "Daughter-in-law obeys!"

The emperor was pleased: "I am very relieved that you can think so. Xi Yao is still young, and sometimes she is not steady enough to act steadily, and she needs your care."

"Yes."

Chu Duchen came in from outside, and happened to hear them talking about himself, so he approached with a smile and said, "Imperial grandfather, imperial sister-in-law. The children and grandchildren are not filial, and they let the imperial grandmother overwork last night, and she was tired of her body."

"Your mother's body is weak, and I don't want her to work. As the prince, you have a greater responsibility on your shoulders, and you should put state affairs first." The emperor advised.

Chu Duchen nodded like a jade. The emperor explained a few more words, waved his hand and retreated the two of them

Person.

Chu Wanxiang returned to the East Palace, her mood was still uncomfortable, and her mind was chaotic.

"Niangniang...... the palace maid called softly.

Chu Wanxiang restrained her irritability and lightly ordered, "Go and boil the medicine. Hongu wants to drink medicine."

"Yes."

Chu Wanxiang leaned on the side of the bed and closed her eyes to recuperate, when suddenly a cool breeze blew in, and a gap opened in the window. She snapped her eyes open and turned to look at the door.

Footsteps were heard outside the door, accompanied by the familiar scent of ambergris.

Chu Mohan pushed open the door and came in.

He was dressed in a white robe, handsome and straight, with a soft face and a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Why are you here?" Chu Wanxiang asked.

"Come and see you." Chu Mohan sat down on the edge of her bed.

Chu Wanxiang stretched out her hand to hug his waist and buried her head in his chest: "I'm scared, I'm really scared!"

Chu Mohan stroked her hair: "It's okay, I'll accompany you, don't be afraid."

"But I'm still scared." She muttered, "What if...... If I kill him, my father will definitely not spare me, and I will not survive."

"Don't be cranky, I'll protect you." Chu Mohan said, "Father has found out the truth, I will help you clarify it, and you will never be involved, okay?"

"But ......"

"Don't, be obedient!" Chu Mohan raised his voice, domineering and strong.

Chu Wanxiang flattened her mouth and said aggrievedly, "But, I didn't kill him, how can I clarify?"

"I'll explain it for you." Chu Mohan patted her back, "Sleep, I'll guard you."

Chu Wanxiang lay down obediently and pulled his sleeve: "Husband......

"Huh?" Chu Mohan looked at her side face and asked gently.

"If I do something wrong one day, will you blame me?" Chu Wanxiang asked worriedly.

"As long as you are innocent, I will not punish you." Chu Mohan clenched her slender fingers, "Trust me."

"Husband." Chu Wanxiang turned over and lay on his strong chest, "You will always be on my side."

"Of course." Chu Mohan kissed her forehead.

Chu Wanxiang raised her lips sweetly and closed her eyes.

"You're sleepy, sleep." Chu Mohan patted her softly and coaxed her to sleep.

Chu Wanxiang slowly relaxed, immersed in the dream, and gradually lost consciousness......

Chu Duchen came to Fengwu Palace, and Chu Wanqing greeted him: "Brother Huang."

"Concubine Qing, has the queen rested?" Chu Duchen asked.

"Just now, the royal sister came to ask for peace, and the mother asked her to stay overnight." Chu Wanqing said.

Chu Duchen nodded and walked into the house. Chu Wanqing followed.

The eunuch lifted the curtain, and Chu Duchen stepped into the inner room and saw Chu Wanxiang lying on the soft floor asleep. He walked over lightly and whispered to her, "Wanxiang?"

Chu Wanxiang didn't wake up, but she subconsciously shrank in, as if she didn't want to be touched. Chu Duchen stopped and looked at the palace maid on the side of the couch, who immediately bowed down and stepped aside and left quietly.

Chu Duchen bent down and picked up Chu Wanxiang and sent him to the couch in the inner hall.
