"The concubine thanked the emperor for his favor, but it was just ......" Chu Wanxiang hesitated, and stopped talking.

When the emperor saw this, he asked, "Empress, do you have any problems?"

Chu Wanxiang pursed her lips and hesitated and said, "The concubine doesn't want to marry the imperial brother anymore."

"Huh? Why?" The Emperor asked.

"When I married the emperor's brother, I had to do it as a last resort in order to consolidate the imperial power. Now that the royal brother is dead, the concubine doesn't want to marry again."

The emperor pondered for a moment and said, "I will give you a marriage and let you marry into the royal family in style, and you don't say anything about marrying." Don't worry, the child in your womb, I will treat him well and treat him as my own."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Chu Wanxiang knelt down and kowtowed three times.

Old Madam Lin said, "Queen, since you insist on refusing, then the queen is categorically unqualified to sit on this throne."

"You want the queen's throne?" Chu Mohan raised his eyebrows and said, "Is the queen mother the queen who wants to depose me?"

"Don't misinterpret Hongu's words." Old Madam Lin said sharply, "This palace has said that you are not allowed to marry the queen again. There are only two queens, one is the main palace and the other is the dream butterfly. Mengdie is already pregnant with the imperial heir, and she is the only suitable candidate for the throne."

Chu Mo laughed coldly: "Mengdie is pregnant? The Queen Mother really dares to say it."

"This ......," Old Madam Lin said, "What does this palace say, it's not your turn to put your beak!"

"This palace doesn't bother to argue with you." Chu Mo coldly dropped a sentence, and pulled Chu Wanxiang to stand up, "The queen is tired, she should go back to Fengluan Hall to rest." new

Chu Wanxiang looked at Jiang Qiyun: "Qiyun, you and the imperial doctor should accompany the emperor into the palace."

"The concubine obeys." Jiang Qiyun bowed, "The concubines wish the emperor to ascend the throne as soon as possible, and the concubines and the doctors of the Imperial Hospital will do their best to help the emperor fulfill his long-cherished wish."

Seeing that Jiang Qiyun was also supporting the emperor away, Mrs. Lin hurriedly caught up and said, "The emperor stays!" You haven't agreed to the conditions of this palace yet."

"Hongu has made it clear." Chu Mohan turned around and faced Old Madam Lin and said, "The Queen Mother doesn't have to bother anymore."

Old Madam Lin glared at him angrily: "Do you want to disobey this palace? You go back to the East Palace for this palace now. This palace tells you, this palace does not allow it!"

Chu Mohan said expressionlessly, "This imperial city belongs to me, and the queen mother can't take care of it. If the queen mother wants to force me to do something, I'm afraid she can't do it. If the Queen Mother wants the Lin Mansion to lose, let's see if I can stop me." After that, he took Chu Wanxiang away.

Old Madam Lin trembled with anger, "Evil obstacles! Wickedness!"

"Don't be sad about the imperial concubine." Lin Mengdie comforted, "He's just stubborn! The emperor will definitely be mad at him this time."

Old Madam Lin breathed a sigh of relief and instructed Mama to help her go to the side hall to rest, "The palace is tired, so she has to recuperate for a while. Your Majesty, don't worry about it for the time being."

"Yes."

"And that, you deal with it." Old Madam Lin said.

Lin Mengdie's face changed slightly, and she responded in a low voice: "Erchen understands."

After Chu Wanxiang was sent back to the palace, Chu Mohan ordered all the palace people to be grounded. He spent a whole day alone in the dormitory, and when he ate in the evening, he still looked gloomy, and even the chrysanthemums in the imperial garden had lost their color. Chu Wanxiang looked at it in her eyes, and she was secretly anxious in her heart.

At dinner, she came over with a soup cup: "Your Majesty, drink a bowl of chicken soup to replenish your body."

"Hmm." Chu Mohan took the soup cup and took a sip, then frowned and put it down.

When Chu Wanxiang saw his expression, she said, "What's wrong with the emperor? Do I need to call in a royal doctor?"

Chu Mohan raised his head, looked at Chu Wanxiang and said, "I don't have an appetite."

Chu Wanxiang said, "If the emperor is not hungry, eat some. The concubine's special chicken soup."

Chu Mohan stared at her for a few seconds, stretched out his hand to caress her cheek, and said softly, "Xiangxiang, I am very grateful for your distress. I know that you love me, otherwise you wouldn't have taken such good care of me. Although I love you, I haven't thought about taking you as a queen, don't think nonsense. I've had a lot going on lately, you

Just stay in the Fengluan Palace, and I will take time to come and see you every day."

Chu Wanxiang lowered her head and responded: "The concubine respectfully obeys the holy decree."

Chu Mohan nodded, got up and walked towards the inner hall. Chu Wanxiang followed him back to the dormitory and waited for him to wash his clothes.

Lying on the bed, she snuggled into his arms and said softly, "Is the emperor very tired? Do you want your concubine to rub your shoulders for you?"

"No need." Chu Mohan patted her on the back, "I'll sleep for a while, and you can rest early."

"Oh."

After a while, she heard the sound of Chu Mohan's even and long breathing, he actually fell asleep so quickly? Chu Wanxiang sighed softly, closed her eyes and fell asleep.

The next morning, when Chu Wanxiang woke up, the bed beside him was cold. Chu Mohan didn't sleep on this bed at all last night, and Chu Wanxiang was extremely disappointed in her heart.

Just as she was about to go to Fengluan Hall to serve him to dress up and change clothes, Old Madam Lin suddenly sent someone to find her: "Queen Mother, the Queen Mother announced that you should go to Cining Palace immediately, and you have something important to discuss."

Chu Wanxiang frowned. Old Madam Lin asked her to go to Cining Palace early in the morning, it must be no good thing.

She changed her clothes and hurried to Cining Palace. Mrs. Lin was really not in the hall, and the Queen Mother sat on the upper seat. She glanced at the place next to her, but didn't sit down.

The Queen Mother glanced at her, snorted coldly, and showed disgust: "This palace summoned you, why don't you go down to see the mourning family?"

Chu Wanxiang said calmly: "The queen mother once taught Wanxiang the rules, and the queen mother never said such a thing. Besides, the emperor did not give Wan Xiang a prayer post, so Wan Xiang did not dare to make a rash mistake."

"The emperor is the king of the world, what does he say, who dares to disobey?" The Queen Mother sneered.

Chu Wanxiang said, "Queen Mother, since you know that your father is the king of the world, how can you discuss your father's will? The father is the Son of Heaven, and he is not allowed to slander at will."

The Queen Mother said coldly: "The queen is really sharp-toothed! Hongu is talking to you, and it's not your turn to interject! This palace came to you today to warn you that you are the queen who I married into the door, don't get carried away by the emperor's favor for you. You don't understand the rules so much, no wonder the emperor doesn't like you."

Chu Wanxiang said indifferently, "The concubine understands. Does the Queen Mother have any other instructions? If not, the concubine will retire first."

"Wait." Old Madam Lin said, "Empress, as the empress, you are in charge of the Six Palaces, not only did you fail to do the things that the emperor explained, but also let Lin Mengdie replace Lin Guifei. Lin Mengdie is a concubine, and the queen should have personally selected the show girl to live in Yuqing Palace, but now the queen has stuffed Lin Mengdie into Fengqi Palace, what are your intentions? Are you trying to kill Dream Butterfly?"

Lin Mengdie was stunned: "Auntie, concubine ......."

"Don't speak, listen to the mourner's admonition to the queen." Old Madam Lin glared at Lin Mengdie, "You are not angry!"

Lin Mengdie bit her lip and knelt down.
