Chapter 288: Give Sincerely

Chu Wanshuang fell to the ground and cried in pain. Her attendant quickly helped her to her feet and anxiously asked her if she had fallen. Chu Wanshuang rubbed her knees and sobbed, "It hurts to death, woo woo, I'm so hungry...... I want to eat, I'm hungry, I want to eat......

When the attendant heard that she was hungry, he immediately comforted her: "The slave maid will take you to eat snacks, those pastries are fresh, and they taste very good."

"Well, I want to eat that osmanthus glutinous rice cake, as well as that golden silk roll, cream fluffy roll, hibiscus crisp, and sugar steamed cheese......" Chu Wanshuang folded her hands and counted the food.

The attendant replied again and again: "Slave and maid, I will take you there."

Chu Wanshuang's entourage led her to the imperial dining room, took out a box of delicate pastries, and brought hot tea and warm water.

"Mother, you eat slowly. The slave is waiting for you outside." The attendant said respectfully, and turned to leave.

Chu Wanshuang picked up the pastry, devoured it, and after eating a piece, it was not enough, so she picked up another piece and stuffed it into her mouth, her cheeks bulging. Her demeanor was a little rude, but she didn't care, like a hungry beast.

Chu Wanxiang frowned. She didn't understand what was wrong with her, why she suddenly became so bad, and beat people up if she didn't agree with her.

After eating and drinking, Chu Wanshuang touched her bulging belly and burped.

"You're so hungry." Chu Wanxiang mocked.

Chu Wanshuang snorted, "Who called you so cruel, of course I have to avoid you." She stretched, "Alas, I'm too tired to walk, you carry me."

Chu Wanxiang had a cold face: "This palace doesn't have time to serve a maid."

"Who is rare?" Chu Wanshuang stood up and pursed her lips, "Since you're bored, then I'll go." With that, he turned and left.

The soldiers surrounded Chu Wanxiang: "What are you doing? Presumptuous!"

"Presumptuous?" Chu Mohan sneered, "This palace is ordered to handle the case, you step aside, otherwise this palace will punish you for the crime of disobeying the order."

As soon as Chu Mohan waved his hand, the guards stepped forward to escort the soldier. Chu Mohan dragged out Chu Wanshuang: "This palace wants to search the queen's bedroom, if anyone obstructs it, it will be killed!"

Chu Wanshuang was pulled out, fell to her knees, and said tremblingly, "The concubine sees Your Majesty. The concubine just missed her father too much, so she came here to worship her father, and she did not disobey Your Majesty's holy order, and Your Majesty cannot wronged your concubine."

"Oh? I have wronged you?" Chu Mohan threw out a sentence lightly.

Chu Wanshuang was stunned for a moment, and immediately retorted: "Your Majesty, you have misunderstood the concubine, how can the concubine rebel, the emperor's edict was written by himself, and the evidence is conclusive."

Chu Mohan squinted his eyes slightly and looked at her. Her eyes were dark and sparkling like jewels, pure and innocent, not like lying. Chu Mohan softened his tone slightly, and looked down at her: "You said it was written by yourself? Is there any ink?"

"Ink?" Chu Wanshuang shook her head, "There are no concubines in Yin Ni."

"Since you don't, how do you know it's your own handwriting?" Chu Mohan asked calmly.

Chu Wanshuang explained in a panic: "My father often left notes for my mother before his death, so I guess that my father wrote a note to my mother before he died, and my mother concubine was handed over to the concubine for safekeeping, so the concubine can confirm that it was written by herself."

"So, you're pretty filial." Chu Mohan sneered.

Chu Wanshuang lowered her head, folded her arms to her chest, and said aggrievedly, "The concubine only hopes that her father can rest in peace, and she doesn't want to do anything to make trouble."

Chu Mohan glanced at her with a smile: "You are speaking in a high-sounding manner."

"The concubines don't dare to deceive Your Majesty. The concubine is the only daughter of her father, and when her father dies, the concubine should be filial." Chu Wanshuang looked up at him with a sad expression.

Chu Mohan didn't say anything more, just stared at her for a moment, and suddenly said, "Someone."

A soldier stepped forward and respectfully asked, "Your Majesty, please command."

"Take the second princess down, without my permission, you are not allowed to step into the Qiwu Palace for half a step."

Chu Wanshuang was shocked: "No, Your Majesty! The concubine is really wronged! I beg you to spare your concubine."

"Take it down!" Chu Mohan shouted loudly.

"Yes!"

The guards held up Chu Wanshuang, who was struggling and screaming, and forced her to leave Qiwu Palace.

Chu Mohan walked into Qiwu Palace, sat on the edge of the phoenix bed, and silently stared at the woman lying on the bed.

Chu Wanxiang opened her eyes, her eyes confused and empty: "Your Majesty, you are finally back......

Chu Mohan held her hand and said softly, "Thank you for your hard work, Xiangxiang."

Chu Wanxiang showed a gentle and happy smile and muttered, "It is the greatest honor of the concubine to be by His Majesty's side."

Chu Mohan's tense body slackened slightly. He lowered his head, dropped a kiss on her forehead, and said softly, "Xiangxiang, I'm sorry. I've wronged you."

Chu Wanxiang closed her eyes, and the curvature of the corners of her mouth rose higher and higher: "As long as Your Majesty can be safe, the concubine is willing to pay anything."

Chu Mohan sighed: "I promise you that I will return to you safely."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Chu Wanxiang smiled with tears in her eyes.

Chu Mohan hugged her into his arms, and his heart ached unbearably.

"Your Majesty," she comforted him by patting him on the back, "don't be sad. You have ascended the throne now, and it will get better and better in the future."

"Hmm." Chu Mohan helped her up, "I'll send you back to Fengming Palace to rest."

Chu Wanxiang shook his head and shirked: "The concubine is not tired, the concubine wants to guard His Majesty and accompany His Majesty, and she does not want to stay alone in Fengming Palace."

"How's that going to work?" Chu Mohan grimaced, "Obedient."

Chu Wanxiang insisted: "Your Majesty, the concubine wants to be by Your Majesty's side."

"Not allowed!" Chu Mohan seriously refused.

Chu Wanxiang had no choice but to compromise: "The concubine went outside and waited."

"No, I don't." Chu Mohan pulled her into a seat, "Let's eat with me."

Chu Wanxiang was slightly stunned and nodded: "Okay."

After the two finished eating in relative silence, Chu Mohan sent her back to Fengming Palace, and then went to the Qinzheng Palace. The lights in the Qinzheng Hall were bright, and the ministers were deliberating, and when they saw Chu Mohan coming in, they immediately stopped and bowed: "See Your Majesty!"

"Ladies and gentlemen, let's continue our deliberations." Chu Mohan motioned for everyone to continue, and then walked towards the imperial desk.

Chu Mohan stood still in front of the imperial desk and picked up a brush to write. Seeing this, the ministers all dispersed with interest, and after a short time the palace returned to quiet.

After a while, Chu Mohan finished writing and put away the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone.

He looked up and looked around, "Stand down."

"Yes." The ministers agreed in unison. Then he left the imperial study neatly.

Chu Mohan turned around and walked towards the inner room, walked to the door of the inner room, and saw Chu Wanqing lying on the couch and falling asleep, her face as pale as snow.

Chu Mohan frowned, walked forward quickly, stretched out his hand to probe Chu Wanqing's pulse, but felt that the pulse under his fingers was weak and weak, and he was immediately furious.

"Damn! I will not forgive you for taking pills to kill the queen's mother!"
