As soon as the imperial edict came out, the palace and harem were shocked.
The concubine Yue came to see the emperor all night long and knelt down outside the palace with a big belly. She was also rejected. He only asked her to take good care of the fetus. If anything happened to the dragon fetus, she was the only one to ask.
Helpless, Yue Bin had to be sent back.
When Concubine Yu heard the news, she hurried to the imperial study room. The emperor was busy. When he heard that she was coming, his eyes were half-closed and his face was ugly.
"I just downgraded my status to Gao Mingyao. The harem knew the news so quickly. Just ask for mercy from the moon concubine. What does the jade concubine mean?"
Huang Wanshun thought about it again and again, thought about the wording, and then whispered, "Perhaps Concubine Jade just came to see the emperor and had no other intentions."
When the emperor heard this, he felt that she had no reason to come because of Gao Mingyao, so he announced her entrance.
Concubine Yu looked at the gloomy atmosphere in the palace and was a little nervous. She hesitated whether to plead, but when she met the emperor's eyes, they were cold and emotionless, as if she knew the purpose of her visit. She felt suffocated and felt guilty. The words came to his lips, but he didn't dare to speak.
The time was not right now, it seemed that she could not plead for Gao Mingyao.
"Ayin, why are you here? You are not in good health. You should rest more."
The atmosphere in the palace was quiet. She didn't speak, as if she was nervous. The emperor waited for a while before she took the initiative to ask questions, then put on a gentle expression and stretched out his hand towards her.
Chu Sheng was waiting for her to ask about Gao Mingyao. If she asked, he would be angry.
But she didn't speak, so Chu Sheng could pretend that she didn't know anything and was focused on him.
They were good friends when they were still princes, so they naturally knew that she and Gao Mingyao had a good relationship, but he didn't expect that she had a special affection for Gao Mingyao. It was just a teenage sentiment at most.
But if she opens her mouth, he will naturally think more about it. After all, no man will accept that the woman he likes will think about other men.
Concubine Yu stepped forward and put her hand on his big palm, thinking about how to speak. Seeing that the emperor was gentle to her, she struggled repeatedly, and finally swallowed her plea.
"The emperor has not been to my palace for a long time. I want to see you, so I came to invite the emperor."
When Chu Sheng heard this, the corners of his mouth raised, and he said warmly, "You go back first, I will come over later."
Concubine Yu did not hesitate, stood up, saluted, and then went out.
When she went out, she breathed a sigh of relief and left quickly.
After Concubine Jade went out, the emperor's face changed to a look of indifference. He sat there and looked very cold. Huang Wanshun, who was standing next to him, felt a sense of intimidation.
Is the emperor angry?
"Your Majesty, are you going to turn over the cards tonight?" Huang Wanshun asked. The manager of the Respecting Room outside was waiting. He just heard the Emperor being angry. Concubine Yu came in and was called back, so he didn't dare to come in.
But they still had to do their errands, so they could only ask Manager Huang to ask. It would be best to turn over the sign so that they could go back and prepare.
Chu Sheng waved his hand impatiently, "No need to turn over the pages, just go to the Jade Concubine Palace."
But before going to the Jade Concubine Palace, I went to the De Concubine Palace first.
When he arrived outside the palace, he didn't let the servants pass the news. He wanted to give Jin Xin a surprise. He just happened to talk about her father. He had wronged her and must make some compensation.
Jin Xin's dinner consisted of light food, and she didn't expect that the emperor would come over. She stood up to greet him and said, "Greetings to the emperor."
Chu Sheng stepped forward with a smile, pulled her up, and sat across from her.
"Why are you just eating these? It looks so bland and I really have no appetite." Chu Sheng frowned.
"I can't smell meat right now, so I didn't ask the kitchen to cook it. If the emperor wants to eat it, I will have it cooked," Jin Xin said.
He raised his eyes and looked at Jin Xin's calm explanation. He didn't seem to be happy about his unexpected arrival, and he was a little disappointed.
Which palace he went to before, which concubine did not greet him with a smile, and even wanted to pester him, wanting to get closer to him.
He was busy in the past and had too many concubines to take care of. In addition, his heart was close to Concubine Yu, and his feelings for Jin Xin meant that he felt that she was gentle, decent, sensible, knew how to advance and retreat, and was thoughtful and thoughtful. As the biological mother of his eldest son, he always felt that Jin Xin was the most caring person to him, and she would not lose his temper just because he favored someone more.
He should feel very good about such a beloved concubine.
But tonight he was in a restless mood and wanted to see her, talk, and have a heart-to-heart talk, but when he saw her calm attitude, he felt a little disappointed. Why was she different from those concubines?
"Why is the emperor really staring at my concubine?" Jin Xin asked confused, touching her face, thinking something was wrong with her, but he still stared at her, which made her feel a little uncomfortable.
"You...don't you welcome me here?" he asked.
When Jin Xin heard this, she smiled and said, "Of course you are welcome. I am looking forward to the emperor's arrival day and night."
When Chu Sheng heard this, his brows furrowed even more tightly. She just said she was welcoming him, but there was no joy in her eyes. He had seen those women's attentiveness to him, and recalled that when he was with Jin Xin, she still He really only followed the procedure of sleeping with a concubine.
Afterwards, she didn't even want to talk to him.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little irritated. He immediately stood up and said, "I'm going to see Concubine Jade."
Jin Xin stood up and sent him off. Chu Sheng frowned and looked at her, "Do you want to keep me?"
"I'm afraid I won't have time to prepare other dishes in my concubine's small kitchen. Concubine Jade is also waiting for the emperor. The emperor should go and see Concubine Jade first, lest she wait too long." Jin Xin thought she was very considerate.
Chu Sheng's heart suddenly felt a little blocked. He wanted to say that he didn't really want to go there, but Jin Xin didn't say anything to persuade him to stay, and he had just said to go to Yu Fei's place, so he couldn't change his mind anymore, so he went out with some anger. .
Jin Xin went back to the room and sat down, and said displeasedly, "How come the person at the door is on duty and doesn't let the emperor know when he's here?"
"The emperor didn't allow it to be passed on." Lianrong stepped forward and explained.
Jin Xin frowned, but did not hesitate and said, "We in the palace have been more alert recently. Don't leave the palace if you have nothing to do. The emperor is here, and we must inform him as soon as possible."
The emperor reprimanded Gao Mingyao, which proved that the emperor was wary of the Gao family, including his own handiwork. If she didn't be more vigilant and showed some clues, the trouble she would cause would be enough to implicate the nine clans.
However, she can only do this. It doesn't matter whether she is ambitious or her heart is not right. Instead of boiling a frog in warm water and boiling her heart and soul, waiting for fate to decide, it is better to take control of her own destiny.
Jin Xin has already sent a message to Jiang Quwu, asking him to urge Fengtian Mansion to interrogate Wang Chen as soon as possible and be sure to tell something real.
