All her thoughts were on Ke'er, and Lin Chunhuan didn't notice that while she was interrogating Ke'er, an inconspicuous little eunuch from Kunning Palace sneaked out and entered Xingqing Palace.
In the Xingqing Palace, the emperor, who should have gone to bed long ago, was now neatly dressed and sitting behind his desk. After a while, he listened to the little eunuch explain clearly the whole story of the future.
"Your Majesty, the Queen's side..."
After the little eunuch finished speaking, he did not receive a response for a long time. Wang Youquan was about to ask about the regulations, but the emperor raised his hand to stop him, "There is no hurry. , I believe in the queen.”
“She is smart and will not do stupid things.”
Although the emperor said this, Wang Youquan did not put down the worry on his brows, "Of course I don't dare to question the queen. I am just worried that the empress will be soft-hearted for a while. If she leaves the disaster around, something will go wrong in the future."
For Wang Youquan The emperor did not respond to these words. He just lowered his eyes, as if looking at the pages on the table, but his eyes were not focused. He did not know whether he was thinking about something or waiting for something.
The atmosphere in the study seemed to have solidified. The emperor did not speak, and no one dared to do anything more.
However, after half a stick of incense, a servant hurriedly walked into the door and said, "Your Majesty, the Queen is kneeling outside the door, taking off her hairpin and begging to see you!"
The emperor's eyes lit up. No one saw him breathing a sigh of relief. He quickly stood up and walked out of the door.
April day.
Although spring has begun, it is still very cold at night. The evening breeze can make people shiver with cold. Lin Chunhuan knelt on the ground, wearing plain clothes and hairpins, with a small face. I was frozen blue in the cold wind.
When he met the emperor, he banged his head and kowtowed to the ground, "I have a slave who betrayed my master. I was deceived and tried to murder the emperor's heir. I almost committed a heinous crime. As my master, I The emperor is to blame for his incompetent governance. Please punish him.”
When the wind blew, the emperor’s eyes turned red.
He quickly stepped forward and helped Lin Chunhuan up, "Get the cloak quickly!"
At this moment, the emperor's heart was truly in his stomach.
How could the Ji family's little thoughts be hidden from him?
Long before Princess Anguo got married, the emperor had already gotten wind of it, but he didn't expect that the Ji family would bypass him and directly target Lin Chunhuan.
Of course, he understood the twists and turns after just a brief sip.
Don’t say that Ke’er hasn’t made up her mind yet whether to take action or not. Even if she does, those messy things will never get into Lin Chunhuan’s mouth!
The reason why I have been holding back.
First of all, now is not a good time to disturb the Ji family. Even though the current Marquis Ji is just a concubine, he is still the Queen Mother’s natal family. Over the years, they have established their own influence in Kyoto. foundation.
It is not that easy to completely remove it.
Secondly, Ke'er was the most capable person around Lin Chunhuan. Even the emperor and Ke'er only got along with each other for a short time when they were in the Yuan family.
I also know that this girl is a smart person who wholeheartedly protects her master. If it weren't for Ke'er, Lin Chunhuan's life in the Yuan family might have been even more difficult.
To touch the Yuan family, Ke'er must be touched. He was afraid that his Huan'er would be sad.
Thirdly, this was the most uncertain point for the emperor. He didn’t know what Lin Chunhuan’s attitude would be after learning about this incident, whether he would take care of the overall situation, or hide everything for Ke’er.
However, choosing Ke'er would be betraying him.
He didn’t have to compare himself with a slave, but Lin Chunhuan was too important in the emperor’s heart, and the position of the queen was even more important. There was no room for discord in his eyes, but he was afraid of getting what he least wanted. Want the answer.
This matter has been put off again and again until today. But now, the emperor had completely let go of his worries, exhaled a breath, took the cloak and put it on Lin Chunhuan himself, "In such a cold weather, you are not afraid of freezing yourself, and you don't even care about our children. ”
"Your Majesty, I am my concubine..."
"Huan'er has always called me sir, why did she change her name today?"
Lin Chunhuan shut her mouth, Only then did he notice that the emperor's clothes were neatly dressed. He had definitely not just gotten up from the bed, but seemed to have been waiting for her to come.
After thinking about it for a moment, he came back to his senses and said, "Sir, you deliberately let me go. You already knew that?!"
"It's cold, come in and say something."
His hands, which were frozen like ice cubes, were held in generous palms. Lin Chunhuan followed numbly, with a layer of cold sweat seeping out of his vest.
It’s not like she never had the idea of protecting Ke’er.
Ke'er saved her once, and she also wanted to save Ke'er once.
Just thinking about it afterwards, Ke'er took a very wrong path. If she was shielding him, she would not be helping Ke'er, but she might be harming her!
If you really want to save people, tell the truth and deal with the matter, it is not too late to plead with the emperor. Even if you risk your life, even if you use the child in your belly as a raft, you can still save Ke'er's life. Then he hurriedly came to see the saint.
But I didn’t expect that the emperor already knew about it!
The warm soup was poured down, and the warmth spread from her stomach to her limbs, which softened her frozen body. "Sir, when did you know this?"
< br>"It's been a while."
The emperor's tone was gentle, he took the soup bowl and put it down, and rubbed Lin Chunhuan's hands himself, "That son of the Ji family is ambitious. I have always known this."
"But ambition is not a bad thing in the first place. A man who has no ambition cannot be the king of this country. Before I met you, I really thought that I would never have any more children in this life. Those in the court who let me have children I have heard some voices, although I don’t think much of them.”
“It is inevitable that I have secretly paid attention to the candidates.”
Lin Chunhuan pursed her lips and said nothing.
Her memory told her that the emperor should be completely disgusted with the matter of having an heir, but now it sounds like that is not the case.
Some changes must have happened that she didn't know about, but she was too far away from the temple in her last life, and Yuan Shaojun was even more useless. It was not easy for her to protect the Yuan family, and she had no access to these.
As for now.
With her here and the child in her belly, some things might never happen again, and she didn't have the inclination to get to the bottom of it.
"I never thought that the Ji family's ambitions would have reached this level. It's time for the Marquis to make a move."
Lin Chunhuan's heart skipped a beat. , "Sir, is it for my concubine?"
"Yes, it is also for my mother. After all, the Ji family is my mother's natal family. You are the most important people in my life, how can I ignore it."
"Sir..."
With her slightly cold body leaning softly against her broad chest, Lin Chunhuan sniffed and burst into tears, "How can I be so virtuous as a concubine? She deserves so much love from my husband."< br>
The thin back showed an almost perfect outline under the thin clothes, and the fragrant fragrance made the emperor feel uneasy. It took a lot of perseverance to suppress the restlessness in his heart.
