Chapter 124: Whatever It Takes
Chu Duyan shrugged: "I'll just tell you the truth."
Chu Mohan glared at her: "Don't be rude!"
Chu Duyan pouted.
"Yan'er, I know you don't like Lin Shuyuan. But I promise you that I will do my best to make it up to her." Chu Mohan coaxed in a low voice, "As for the child in her belly...... I don't want to hurt her, and I won't allow you to hurt her."
Lin Shuyuan's eyes suddenly turned red, "Your Majesty......
"Stand down." Chu Mo coldly gave an order, "I will stay with you tonight."
Anger rose in Chu Duyan's heart. She was his fiancée, and he even said he would stay with her!
Chu Mohan didn't seem to feel Chu Duyan's anger, and lightly ordered, "You go down first to prepare, and the queen and Concubine De will stay to sleep tonight."
"Yes." The two palace maids answered and retreated.
Chu Duyan stood in place, his eyes breathing fire.
Chu Mohan looked at her and said, "Yan'er, I know you're unhappy, but the imperial heir is the foundation of the country, and it is definitely not child's play." He took her hand and gently comforted, "I just want to stay with you."
"Your Majesty, you don't need to say much, the concubines all understand." Chu Duyan pulled out a smile and tried to suppress her anger, "The concubine is going to change her clothes."
Chu Duyan walked out of the door and met Chu Mobei and Jiang Qiyun who were coming towards him.
Chu Mobei saw Chu Duyan and asked in surprise, "Imperial sister-in-law, what is the matter with the imperial brother summoning you?"
"The emperor asked his concubines to serve the holy driver." Chu Duyan replied indifferently.
Chu Mobei was stunned, no wonder the imperial sister-in-law seemed to be in a bad mood, and dared to love the imperial brother who was fortunate to be Lin Shuyuan again. This Lin Shuyuan is a powerful person, and even the imperial sister-in-law was defeated.
"Imperial sister-in-law, please come here." Chu Mobei said respectfully, and then saw Chu Duxue who was following behind Chu Duanyan.
Chu Mobei raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why is the third sister here too?"
Chu Duxue lowered her head and said shyly and cowardly, "The concubine heard the emperor's summons, so she came to serve."
Chu Mobei looked at Chu Duyan.
Chu Duyan said lightly: "The emperor has summoned his ministers and concubines to serve the sick."
Chu Duxue secretly breathed a sigh of relief, what she was most afraid of was being kicked out. Once Chu Duyan is canonized as the crown princess, she will definitely not be able to tolerate her, if she wants to keep her position, unless she can give birth to a dragon son, she will never have a chance to turn over.
"Imperial sister-in-law." Lin Shuyuan suddenly appeared to block Chu Duyan's way, "The emperor said that he wanted to eat lychees, and the concubine went to the imperial dining room to get a fresh one and sent it."
Chu Duyan glanced around and found that all the fruits on the table had been withdrawn, and only the water cups were empty. She smiled contemptuously, Lin Shuyuan was going to be courteous in front of her.
"Concubine Lin is such a clever plan." Chu Duyan smiled and said, "Since this lychee has been presented, won't the emperor taste it?"
Chu Mohan sat on a chair and drank tea, ignoring Chu Duyan's proposal.
Lin Shuyuan's face became extremely embarrassed, and she was annoyed in her heart, Chu Mohan didn't even give her face at all, she really deserved to be an emperor.
Chu Duyan picked up a grape and handed it to Chu Mohan's lips: "The emperor has a taste~"
Chu Mohan glanced at Chu Duyan. This girl is having a temper tantrum again? He opened his mouth and took the grape into his mouth, chewing it slowly.
Chu Duyan saw him swallow grapes, and a bright smile appeared on his face: "The emperor is so sweet." As he spoke, he reached out and touched a piece of pastry and stuffed it into his mouth.
After eating the pastry, Chu Duyan raised her eyes to look at Lin Shuyuan, and said with a smile: "Shuyuan Niangniang, have you forgotten something?"
"The slave doesn't understand what the maid means." Lin Shuyuan lowered her head, and a wisp of ruthlessness flashed in her eyes.
Chu Duyan hooked his lips and pointed to the fruit on the table: "These things are all carefully prepared by Lin Shuyuan for the emperor."
Lin Shuyuan's cheeks twitched a few times.
Chu Mobei glanced at her lightly, and Lin Shuyuan instantly restrained her expression.
Chu Duyan said again: "Shuyuan Niangniang is so considerate, don't you want the emperor to reward you?"
Lin Shuyuan lowered her head and kept silent, her heart was about to suffocate to death. she
It's a dignified virtuous concubine, and she was actually ridiculed by a little ***, which is unreasonable!
Chu Duyan looked at the emperor and frowned slightly: "The concubine doesn't understand what the emperor means, Lin Shuyuan won't even want the emperor's reward."
Lin Shuyuan bit her lower lip and looked at Chu Mohan aggrievedly.
Chu Mohan finally spoke: "The queen can reward whoever she wants, you don't need to ask me what I mean."
"Thank you for your grace." Chu Duyan smiled coquettishly, picked up the apples on the table and fed them to Chu Mohan, "The emperor eats apples."
Chu Mohan obediently opened his mouth to bite the apple, eating elegantly and calmly, how could he have half an emperor's shelf?
Everyone was stunned!
The emperor is cold and serious on weekdays, and treats everyone without pretense. is the only one who is extraordinarily tolerant and spoiled by the queen, and even a little conniving!
The queen is a rare intelligent, kind and beautiful woman in the world, with a hearty and generous personality, unswerving loyalty to the royal family, generous and benevolent treatment to the concubines, excellent treatment, and is deeply respected by the emperor and ministers. It's a pity that he died at a young age. The emperor was overly sad and fell ill for a long time, and he didn't recover until some time ago. This time, when the emperor woke up, he seemed to be a different person, alienated and cold to everyone, but he took good care of the queen. The queen almost miscarried during childbirth, the emperor was so anxious that he almost lost his temper, or the queen tried her best to let the child be born safely, since then, the emperor has been more fond of the queen, and will definitely stay overnight in Fengluan Palace every month.
Chu Duyan knew in her heart that the emperor only took pity on her.
At this time, a palace person announced: "The emperor, the queen, His Royal Highness the crown prince has come down."
"Please." Chu Duyan got up to greet him.
There was a sound of footsteps, and Chu Duchen came in with vigorous steps. He is twelve years old, slender and straight, handsome and handsome. He saw that the queen mother and father were there, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute.
Chu Duxue knelt on the ground, tears raining down: "The son sees his father."
Chu Mohan snorted lightly.
Chu Duchen saw his sister who was kneeling on the ground crying, frowned and reprimanded, "What are you crying about, get up!"
Chu Duxue raised her teary eyes and looked at Chu Duchen, her eyes were red: "Brother Prince......
"Emperor, queen, concubines retire." Jiang Qiyun left with interest.
Chu Duqing looked at Chu Duchen with jealousy in her eyes. She and the prince's brother are childhood sweethearts, but it's a pity that the royal brother is always indifferent to her, and he is very gentle with other women, but he is not good to her. Although the prince's brother is also good to her, it is the love of his sister, and it is by no means the love of men and women. She wished that the imperial brother would treat her like Chu Duyan, but she knew that it was impossible. Because the person the royal brother likes is Chu Duyan, how dare she ask for extravagance.
Chu Mochen had a cold face: "What is the prince doing here?"
Chu Duchen replied respectfully, "My son heard that my father was sick, so I came to visit."
