Chapter 166: Coma
"Niangniang, please rest assured, the slave has told the people not to reveal half a point." Ziwei said: "It's just that the emperor has been accompanying Niangniang in the dormitory for the past few days, and in addition to reviewing the recitals every day, he will stay in front of Niangniang's bed to take care of Niangniang."
"Oh? In the past few days, the emperor has summoned other concubines?"
"Nope."
"That'll do." The corners of Chu Wanxiang's mouth hooked up a sneering smile: "The emperor's mind is all in this palace, no matter how beautiful other women are, he is not uncommon. If the palace is seriously ill, the emperor must be busy taking care of the palace. You ordered to go down and let the emperor be closely watched. Hongu wants his every move."
Ziwei opened her mouth wide in surprise: "Niangniang, you will annoy the emperor by doing this, in case you ......."
Chu Wanxiang snorted coldly: "Will he be willing to blame this palace? He was ashamed."
Although the Queen Mother did not clearly say who she wanted to make the queen, Chu Mohan knew in her heart that Chu Wanxiang must be the queen, and the other concubines could only be side rooms.
In this way, the relationship between the emperor and the empress will be stronger, and the empress dowager will not dare to abolish the empress at will, otherwise it will be a tear with the imperial family and will cause war.
Ziwei saw that the queen insisted, so she had no choice but to comply: "The slave maid will order it to go down and let people secretly pay attention to the emperor's movements."
After the Queen Mother returned to Cining Palace, Chu Mohan stayed in Fengqi Palace. After the imperial doctor diagnosed the pulse, he said that the queen was weak and needed to recuperate, so Chu Mohan ordered the eunuch to move a reclining chair and come in, and sat beside Chu Wanxiang's bed to accompany him.
In addition to correcting and correcting the folds every day, Chu Mohan went to Fengqi Palace to visit Chu Wanxiang. Chat with her occasionally and eat with her.
Chu Wanxiang is also very well-behaved, she drinks medicine obediently every time, and she doesn't cry or make trouble. This situation lasted for five days, and Chu Mohan finally couldn't bear it anymore and left alone in the middle of the night.
Not long after Chu Mohan left, Chu Wanxiang slowly opened her eyes, looked at the moonlight through the window screen, and sighed faintly: "Alas, this trick really worked."
At lunch the next day, a palace maid hurriedly came and knelt at Chu Wanxiang's feet to report: "Niangniang, Your Majesty went to the Lan Guiren Palace and has not come out."
Chu Wanxiang sneered, "This palace knows that this is the case. It seems that the emperor does not want the palace to wake up." Her gaze shot at the palace maid like a knife: "Don't leak half a sentence about this matter."
"Yes, the slave must be tight-lipped."
"Stand down!"
"Yes." The palace maid respectfully retreated.
After the palace maid retreated, Chu Wanxiang called someone into the house to wait, she changed into gorgeous and complicated clothes, put on luxurious pearl and emerald jewelry, and got ready to go to the Bishui Pavilion of the Lan nobles.
At this moment, Lan Guiren was drawing his nails in front of the vanity mirror.
The palace maid Green Pothos was serving on the side, and when she saw the queen coming, she hurriedly saluted.
Chu Wanxiang sat straight in front of the dresser, the pothos tied her hair in a bun, the hairpin was inlaid with a gold hairpin with rubies, and she picked up the powder and applied lip balm.
"Niangniang, why did you suddenly have time to come here today? Could it be that the queen is still angry about yesterday's events?" Lan Guiren put down the rouge box and came over to pour tea for Chu Wanxiang.
"This palace doesn't care about that little thing. It's just that this palace has just woken up, and his body is still a little weak, so he should not be tired."
Lan Guiren nodded: "Yes, Niangniang have a good rest."
Chu Wanxiang put down the puff and raised her hand to signal the palace maids to retreat. "Are you done?"
Lan Guiren pursed her lips and smiled, "The queen is wise."
Chu Wanxiang picked up the teacup, took a sip, and asked, "What about your father?"
"He has been placed in the side hall by the main palace to rest." Lan Guiren replied in a low voice.
"Well, these days the palace has to be closed to recuperate, and you can't leave the palace. Your Majesty, I'll leave it to you." Chu Wanxiang put down the cup, stood up and walked out, suddenly stopped, and turned her eyes to look at Lan Guiren: "I heard that you are more than three months pregnant, how is the fetus?" Is it safe?"
Lan Guiren touched his stomach: "Xie Niangniang cares, the child is fine." After a pause, Lan Guiren lowered his voice and added, "It's a princess."
The corners of Chu Wanxiang's mouth curved slightly: "Take good care of yourself."
"Xie Niangniang cares, the concubine will."
Leaving the palace of the Lan nobles, Chu Wan
Xiang returned to Fengqi Palace along the road. On the way, she met several princesses, princesses, princesses and concubines of the emperor's heirs, and they all stepped forward to salute her.
Chu Wanxiang swept them lightly, didn't say anything, and went straight back to Fengqi Palace.
The news of the queen's awakening spread far and wide, and the concubines in the harem were all shocked. When the queen wakes up, the most powerful concubine, will be threatened. Concubine Shu is the easiest to fall into the well, because she hates the queen so much that she robs her of her favor, and even more makes her fall out of favor, how can she give up.
Chu Mohan also got the news as soon as possible, and immediately ordered someone to pack his luggage and prepare to leave for Beijing.
"I'm going back to Beijing." Chu Mohan told Chu Wanxiang.
Chu Wanxiang raised her eyebrows lightly: "The concubine heard that the queen has woken up, and the emperor should go to Fengqi Palace to see the queen. The concubines won't go to join in the fun, after all, it is inconvenient for the emperor's concubines to intervene in the emperor's household affairs."
Chu Mohan's deep dark eyes stared at Chu Wanxiang quietly for a moment, as if he wanted to see her through.
Chu Wanxiang met his gaze frankly, with a hint of mockery hooked at the corner of her mouth. Is her acting skills really so bad, she even deceived Chu Mohan.
After a long time, Chu Mohan retracted his gaze and turned around and left the dormitory.
Chu Wanxiang sat on the couch and was silent for a while, then called the green pothos and told her, "Send two clever maids to guard the door tonight. Since the emperor has gone to Lan Guiren, don't let him come back."
"Yes."
Chu Mohan had just arrived at the Lan Guiren's dormitory, and after the palace maid passed the news, the palace maid immediately served hot tea, and presented fragrant pastries and melons and fruits.
Lan Guiren sat down in Chu Mohan and smiled: "The emperor has worked hard!"
Chu Mohan glanced at her, "I don't want to talk to you today."
"Your Majesty, the concubine heard about ......."
Chu Mohan interrupted her: "I said don't say it, don't you understand!"
Lan Guiren wept: "The concubine knows that she is wrong."
"What's the use of you knowing your mistake now, I can't keep my position anymore!" Chu Mohan rebuked sharply.
"The concubine really did her best. The queen's condition was too serious, and the imperial doctor was helpless. The concubine really couldn't think of a way, so she begged her father to ask the queen for marriage. Although my father is the queen's uncle, after all, I dare not disobey the holy decree because of my generation."
Lan Guiren sobbed and said, "Your Majesty, the concubine just wants to give birth to a concubine for you and extend the incense for the royal family, and there is nothing else to think about. The queen has been in a coma for all these years, and all the power is in the hands of the queen, and the concubines can't compete with her at all, and if the queen is determined to take the life of the child in the concubine's womb, the concubine has no power to resist at all."
The more she spoke, the more sad she became, and tears flowed down her face.
"If the Queen really wants to kill the Dragonborn in your womb, she will do it the day after she wakes up."
"These days, you've been secretly manipulating in an attempt to bring down the Queen. I see what you have done, and I don't know what you're doing. If you are a wise man, stop it as soon as possible, or I will not spare you."
