"Back to the emperor, the queen has died of illness...... the envoy paused, "this time Weichen came with the queen's body to worship the dead."

Chu Mohan frowned, and waved his hand to let the guards retreat, "Since that's the case, I won't ask more."

"Wechen retired." The envoy bowed down and said goodbye, exited the Jinluan Palace, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Your Majesty, why did you suddenly ask the Empress?" Chu Dushuang asked puzzled.

Chu Duhan said lightly: "The queen is weak, but she insists on sacrificing to the royal mausoleum every year, but unfortunately she is jealous and red-faced, and she can't survive the winter after all. I think she died a pitiful death."

"Oh." Chu Dushuang nodded thoughtfully.

That night, the palace maid came with the news that the queen's body had been sent back to Xiling Kingdom, and Chu Duhan sighed.

Chu Dushuang held Chu Duhan's hand and comforted, "Don't worry about the emperor, she is the queen of Xiling Kingdom, and the royal family has its own funeral rules."

"Hmm." Chu Duhan touched her cheek and said with a smile, "Let's go, I'll take you to enjoy the plums."

On the way to enjoy the plum blossoms, Chu Dushuang asked, "Brother Huang, aren't you really going to take a concubine?" You have enough concubines."

"Don't marry." Chu Duhan refused cleanly and decisively.

"Then I'll pick you a few good ones." Chu Dushuang said with a smile.

Chu Duhan smiled: "Nonsense, I won't take a concubine."

Chu Dushuang pouted: "Okay then."

The two walked through the snow and chatted occasionally, and the atmosphere was harmonious.

Chu Dushuang suddenly said, "Brother Huang, do you like me?"

"Of course I do." Chu Duhan replied without hesitation.

Chu Dushuang bent her eyes and smiled, revealing her white teeth: "Me too."

The sun is setting and the sky is dark. Chu Dushuang led Chu Dushuang back to the palace, and Chu Dushuang washed and rested.

Chu Mohan stayed alone for a while, and then went to the study to find Jiang Qiyun.

Jiang Qiyun had just finished bathing, dressed neatly, and was applying rouge in front of the dresser. Chu Mohan walked over, grabbed Jiang Qiyun's thin waist, and whispered in his ear, "Are you busy?"

"And the last hairpin." Jiang Qiyun's soft voice sounded, "Help me bring it."

"Yes." Chu Mohan bowed his head and kissed her face, "Ai Fei, I'll paint it later, and I'll rest with me for a while."

Jiang Qiyun pushed him away and said rationally, "I want to go to bed early."

"You sleep in bed tonight, and I go to sleep in the warm pavilion next door."

Jiang Qiyun hesitated: "Are you sure you want to sleep in a separate room with me?"

"Yes." Chu Mohan said seriously, "I'm too tired today, I want to rest early."

"Hmm." Jiang Qiyun agreed.

"Good~" Chu Mohan kissed Jiang Qiyun's forehead, "I'll come to the Warm Pavilion to find you when I'm done bathing."

"I want to take a bath with you, too." Jiang Qiyun blinked and teased.

"Alright, we'll go now." Chu Mohan picked up Jiang Qiyun and walked towards the warm pavilion next door.

The two took off their robes and lay down in the warm water.

Chu Mohan hugged Jiang Qiyun and rubbed her neck affectionately, "The lady is so fragrant today."

"That's nature." Jiang Qiyun said with a smile.

Chu Duhan raised his hand to caress the plumpness of her chest, and his voice was hoarse: "Queen, your skin is so smooth."

"Heh......" Jiang Qiyun reached out and put his arms around his sturdy and lean shoulders, "You're so bad."

The two hugged each other and soaked in the pool water and played, unconsciously immersed in the ambiguous tide of love, and got carried away.

Suddenly, Jiang Qiyun's eyes widened in horror, trembling all over, and she screamed, "Ah! Let go of me!"

"What's wrong?" Chu Mohan was startled and hurriedly let go of her.

Jiang Qiyun covered her chest, her face turned pale, and she was shocked: "Your Majesty ......."

Chu Mohan frowned: "Don't be afraid, I won't touch you."

"You, you get out quickly......" Jiang Qiyun pointed at him tremblingly, his face was as pale as paper, "You, you go out quickly, otherwise I, I will call someone......

Chu Mohan looked at her in shock

With a panicked appearance, he couldn't help laughing, "The queen doesn't need to panic, I'll go out immediately."

With that, he got up and put on his clothes, stepped out of the tub, and tied the brocade belt.

After Chu Mohan left, Jiang Qiyun took a long breath, relieved herself, patted her chest, and was glad that she had escaped.

Behind a big tree not far away, there were two black-clothed men hidden, who watched quietly for a long time, and when they saw Chu Mohan leaving, they quickly flew out and rushed to the imperial study.

Chu Duhan was reviewing the recital, and a message from the inner servant sounded outside the door: "See the emperor, the prime minister asks to see you."

Chu Duhan put down his pen: "Please come in."

Lin Wenyuan stepped into the imperial study and bowed respectfully: "The old minister knocks to see the emperor.".

"Flat, give a seat."

"Thank you for your grace."

"The prime minister came to me, what's the matter?" Chu Mohan motioned for Lin Wenyuan to sit down.

Lin Wenyuan handed over his hand and reported: "Your Majesty, the second girl of the Nangong family was assassinated on the street last night and was injured. The old minister heard that the queen's mother was a skilled doctor, so he specially brought a few imperial doctors to the mansion to treat the second girl."

"How is the second sister's condition?" Chu Mohan asked lightly.

"Hold on for now." Lin Wenyuan said, "The imperial doctor said that the second girl was frightened, and she had lost too much blood, so she needed to be well nourished, otherwise her life would be in danger. The old minister is brave and hopes that the queen will come to visit."

"The queen should not move today, let's go and see it tomorrow." Chu Duhan dealt with it casually, "In addition, the prime minister asked the Nangong family on my behalf."

Lin Wenyuan bowed his head in response, thinking in his heart, the emperor's question, I don't know who he was talking about.

In the early morning of the second day, after Chu Duhan and Jiang Qiyun had dinner, they came to Nangong Mansion by car.

The guard stopped the carriage and said unceremoniously, "Please get off the carriage."

Chu Duhan lifted the curtain and got out of the car, and Jiang Qiyun also followed.

"See the Emperor and the Queen!" The guards bowed.

Chu Duhan waved his hand to signal him to get up, and raised his steps into the mansion.

When Chu Duhan and Jiang Qiyun entered the main hall of Nangong's house, they saw a young and handsome young man standing in the center of the hall, he was wearing a gorgeous costume, his appearance was heroic, and there was a hint of arrogance between his eyebrows.

This person is Nangong Yuze's son, Nangong Haotian, Nangong Yuze's only son-in-law.

When Nangong Haotian saw his parents coming in, he immediately bowed and saluted: "Father, mother."

Chu Mohan bowed slightly: "No courtesy."

Jiang Qiyun glanced at Chu Duhan, and when she saw Chu Duhan's cold expression, she couldn't help but worry, and pulled Chu Mohan's sleeve.

Chu Duhan patted her hand soothingly, signaling that she didn't have to worry, and then walked into the hall.

Old Madam Lin got up and greeted with a kind smile: "The emperor is here, please take a seat."

Chu Duhan exchanged a few words with Old Madam Lin, his eyes fell on Nangong Haotian, glanced at him coldly, and then sat down on the chair.

Nangong Haotian felt that the emperor looked at him unkindly, but he pretended not to know, with an innocent and ignorant expression.

"Haotian, I've seen the emperor and the queen." Old Madam Lin commanded with a smile.

"Get up." Chu Duhan's expression was indifferent, "I came here today because of the second young lady's business. The second lady was poisoned and died?"

Nangong Haotian was stunned: "Second sister?"
