Brother Huang, he has been planning for a long time

Yue Qingzhou glanced into the hall unconsciously, then smiled awkwardly, "He should be free now."

This is a matter between them as husband and wife, so it's better for you to stay out of it.

So after Yue Qingzhou said this, he immediately found an excuse to leave.

Ran Zhinian stood at the door of the royal study for a long time before making up his mind and walking into the palace.

Yue Qinghe had just walked out of the side hall, and when he saw the people walking into the hall, his brows visibly drew closer.

Then he calmed down and said with a cold attitude, "If the queen has nothing else to do, the imperial study is the place where political affairs are discussed, so it is better to come here less often."

Ran Zhinian was stunned for a moment, but Fu Shen finally responded, "Yes, Your Majesty, I am resigning."

When she left the royal study and walked back to the Minghuang Palace, the maid behind her hugged her and said, "My queen, why didn't you tell the emperor about my wife's illness?"

Ran Zhinian took a deep breath, his eyes moved slightly, and there was a faint mist in his eyes, "That's all, the emperor has so many things to do, how can you bother him with such trivial matters?"

"But... Madam is waiting for you to return at home?"

"After entering the palace, how can you say you can go back if you want?"

"How about we ask the Queen Mother?" the maid suggested.

Hearing this, Ran Zhinian was silent for a moment, "Let's go to Mingshou Hall."

"Yes, your Majesty." The maid held an umbrella and walked beside her.

Ran Zhinian looked at the snowy scene in the courtyard and couldn't help but recall the night of their wedding. She was looking forward to their wedding night with all her heart.

I waited for him, but he didn't even take off his hood, and that's when I heard his cold words.

"In this harem, except for you, the queen, there will be no other concubines. Besides the queen's rights, I can't give you anything else."

She clenched her hands immediately and wanted to ask him what he meant by this?

Could it be that he made himself his queen just to deal with the ministers in the court and the people of the world, rather than...

Does he really have no feelings for himself? Not even a tiny bit?

After saying these words, he left Minghuang Palace and never came back again.

Everyone in the palace was talking about her as the empress, but the queen mother was helping her. Any slave who overheard talking about his master in private would be beaten to death.

No slave dared to talk about her behind her back.

In fact, she knew very well that being a queen was extremely ridiculous.

But, she still didn't understand. If he has a sweetheart, why not make his sweetheart a queen.

Even if the identity of his sweetheart does not match, he can be directly registered as a concubine.

Why did you choose yourself?

Now that he has ascended the throne and is the emperor, he doesn't need his father's support at all. Why did he choose himself?

Could it be because of the Queen Mother?

Ran Zhinian let out a breath of heat mist and took the maid to the Mingshou Palace.

The Queen Mother also knew about her mother's illness early in the morning and had already sent people to the Prime Minister's Mansion to express condolences.

"No need to worry, Zhinian. Your mother's condition is not serious. She will be fine after a few more days of rest." Ran Yu comforted her.

Ran Zhinian lowered her face and responded softly, "Yes, Queen Mother."

After hearing what the Queen Mother said, Ran Zhinian didn't dare to mention that he wanted to leave the palace and return home to visit his mother.

Ran Yu looked at her well-behaved appearance at this time, and remembered her son's attitude, so she asked with concern, "Hasn't the emperor come to your palace recently?"

When Ran Zhinian heard this, he raised his eyes slightly and smiled at Ran Yu, "I am a useless concubine."

Ran Yu sighed, called her forward, held her soft little hands, "It's not that you are useless, it's that Qinghe has no heart and can't see the good in you."

Ran Zhinian's heart moved slightly, "Mother..."

"The Ai family knows that you are interested in Qinghe, but Qinghe was temporarily deceived and obsessed with things that are no longer possible, so he ignored you."

There seemed to be something in his words. Ran Zhinian looked at the face of the person in front of him and asked cautiously, "Is the Emperor interested in someone?"

Ran Yu's face darkened slightly, "So what if there is, he will never see his beloved again."

Ran Zhinian frowned, "Who is the Emperor's favorite?"

"You don't need to know this. In short, there will never be anything between the emperor and the person he likes. So if you relax, you can always warm his heart." Ran Yu patted the back of her hand and encouraged her.

Ran Zhinian nodded, "Yes, Queen Mother, I will continue to work hard."

How could she give up the one she loved just because of a moment of frustration!

Ran Zhinian regained his confidence and thought about what excuses to find to see him.

……

Nishiga country.

Qingchen has completely fallen into sleep.

Although she has ice soul to protect her life, if the poison in her body is not resolved, she will never wake up again.

Yuli has been looking up medical books to see if there is any way to remove the poison from her body.

Huaisang, Aunt Liu and others took good care of the newborn prince. The child, who was only two months old, was already fat and fat, and was no longer as thin as when he was just born.

He Lanyan had no intention of teasing the child, so he would hold the child beside Qing Chen and talk to her for a while.

"The child has been named Helan Yongyue." He Lanyan looked at the son in his arms and saw his big watery eyes staring at him. He couldn't help but curl his lips and chuckle: "The wet nurse said he is very good. You don’t make trouble, and you still laugh when you see people. Sometimes I wonder, were you like this when you were a child?"

The person on the bed had a delicate face without any expression, his eyes were closed, his long eyelashes were hanging down, and there was no movement at all.

He Lanyan handed his son to Aunt Liu, held her hand, and said with gentle eyes, "Don't you open your eyes and look at him? Even if you don't love me, this is still your child. He really looks like you." Very similar, especially his eyes."

"Can you open your eyes and see your son?" His tone was humble and pleading.

There was still no movement on the bed. He took a deep breath and reached out to touch her face, his eyes filled with tenderness.

If he had known this outcome early on, he would never have brought her back to Xiga Country.

He Lanyan gasped, stood up and left Suiyin Palace, and went to the Imperial Study Room instead.

Empress Dowager Jiang faked Ji Yao's death as a death from illness. Ji Shangshu didn't believe it and went into the palace to see Ji Yao's body.

Her body had been well disposed of by Yuli, but Mrs. Shangshu didn't believe it.

She knew that her daughter had always been in good health and could not suddenly die of a sudden illness.

Empress Dowager Jiang dealt with the servants who saw the incident, but only one maid beside Ji Yao ran away.

The maid found the right opportunity to find Madam Shangshu and told Madam Shangshu everything.

Mrs. Shangshu was silent for a long time. She did not confront her sister, nor did she do anything to anyone in the palace.

All she knew was that her daughter only wanted to get rid of the princess of Dongming Kingdom.

Now that the ninth princess is not dead, but has given birth to a prince and has become a living dead, then she should help her.
