After Xie Yanheng left.

Xiao Lusheng called Jian Shun, but after calling twice, it was Xiao Kangzi who came in.

Xiao Kangzi held the tea tray and bowed, "Your Majesty, Manager Jian has left for something, so I am here to serve you."

Xiao Lusheng hummed, and after Xiao Kangzi poured the tea, he took a sip and placed it on the dragon table, "Go down."

Xiao Kangzi nodded, and just as he was about to leave, Xiao Lusheng called him again, "Where has the queen been these past two days?"

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty has been to many places in the past two days, including the Imperial Garden, Qixiang Palace, and Minghua Palace."

Although Xiao Kangzi couldn't figure out the new emperor, he knew one thing: the emperor was extremely good to the queen.

When he replied, he was even more careful and did not dare to be negligent in the slightest.

Xiao Lusheng waved his hand and let him go.

A quarter of an hour later.

When Jian Shun came back, Xiao Kangzi told him when he was at the door that the emperor had called him today and the questions he had asked.

His flattering and obedient look really made Jian Shun let down his guard.

"Have you asked Manager Xiu before?" Xiao Lusheng asked.

Jian Shun nodded, "I asked him, and he said that Xiao Kangzi was also a pitiful man. He was retained because he was smart. If he obstructs the emperor, betrays the emperor, or makes the emperor unhappy, then the emperor will deal with him as he pleases. There is no need to consider his condition."

Xiao Lusheng blinked.

Jian Shun added: "In the heart of Xiu Zongguan, there is only the late emperor. As for Xiao Kangzi, he can't cause any trouble."

After multiple verifications.

This Xiao Kangzi is just a coward. He conveyed Manager Xiu's orders several times, but he might not have dared to inform Xiao Lusheng. There were no other problems.

Xiao Lusheng said: "Then send him outside to clean the yard and don't enter my territory."

"Yes."

Afterwards, Xiao Lusheng asked Su Yun again, and Jian Shun’s answer was no different from Xiao Kangzi’s.

But Jian Shun hesitated for a moment and said, "Qingning said that the queen still worries about the situation at the Imperial Observatory from time to time."

Xiao Lusheng asked, "I ordered you to deliver the things to the Imperial Observatory, and you delivered them all?"

"Yes, Old Man Ding also told me to thank the Emperor for his kindness to Lord Rong."

"Rong Xun still doesn't want to accept the imperial physician's treatment?"

"No, I can't even see him. I can't get anything out of Old Man Ding. Jingwen hasn't been to the Imperial Observatory for a long time, so I don't know what's going on inside."

Rong Xun clenched his fists.

He wanted to break into the Imperial Observatory without permission, but the last time he broke in, his chest hurt for two days, so he was in a difficult situation.

"Since you don't know, forget it." I hope that when Xie Yanheng sets out, he can find capable people.

Xiao Lusheng stood up and said, "Let's go to Yonghua Palace."

Jian Shun responded and immediately waved his hand to come over, but Xiao Lusheng refused to sit down, "I'll go for a walk."

After sitting in the Wende Hall for a whole day, he wanted to take a walk.

Jian Shun had no choice but to agree and followed Xiao Lusheng. Just as Xiao Kangzi and other palace servants were about to follow, Xiao Lusheng stopped them.

Finally, it was Jian Shun who accompanied Xiao Lusheng on foot towards Yonghua Palace.

When passing by the Imperial Garden and beside a rockery and waterside pavilion, I vaguely heard someone muttering something.

Xiao Lusheng glanced at Jian Shun, and the two of them said nothing and walked towards the stone road, passing through the cracks in the stones. After a while, they heard two little palace maids joking.

One said, "What a pity! Our emperor is so kind, but he has no concubines except the queen. There are not many maids in Wendedian and Qinzhengdian who can see the emperor."

"It must be because the Queen is jealous that the Emperor dares not take a concubine."

"No."

Xiao Lusheng couldn't help laughing when he heard this. People were saying that Yun'er was jealous, and he was henpecked?

"What a pity! Otherwise, with our beauty, could we also get a young lady or a noble lady?"

"You are crazy, you dare to say such things."

"What's the matter? It is said that the previous Concubine Li came from a brothel. Look at her, she almost overthrew the Cangyun Kingdom."

"Shh..."

"It's okay. Isn't Ju'er sweeping the floor outside? Someone's coming, but she doesn't even say a word?"

"Yeah, you mean Concubine Li? I don't think so, it's the Queen..."

"How is the Queen?"

"The Queen was the least favored daughter of the Su family, but she turned out to be a skilled doctor and cured the Emperor. If she doesn't enjoy the blessing, who will?"

Xiao Lusheng and Jian Shun, who were outside, looked at each other. Yes, it would make no sense for Su Yun not to enjoy her life.

The maid lowered her voice and continued, "It's a pity. I heard that the Queen and the Supervisor had a very good relationship. When the Emperor was still the Prince of Huainan and the Crown Prince, the two of them had an affair. When the Crown Prince left the palace to provide disaster relief, or when the Crown Prince entered the palace to supervise the country, the Queen, who was still the Crown Princess, and the Supervisor were even more unclear."

"Who did you listen to?"

"Who else? It was spread by Concubine Li's former palace maid. Concubine Li wants to bring down the Crown Prince at any time."

"This kind of thing is too mysterious, it's not something we can talk about."

"The Queen... it is said that she is only four months pregnant, but you see, her belly looks like it is six or seven months pregnant, as if she is about to give birth. Who knows if she can..."

One of the palace maids covered the outspoken palace maid and said, "Stop talking nonsense, stop talking nonsense."

At this moment, Xiao Lusheng's face was terribly dark outside the rockery.

It was as if a tremendous rage was forcibly suppressed, and he threw away his sleeves and walked away.

Jian Shun was speechless.

Perhaps it was because Xiao Lusheng's footsteps when he left were too obvious, the young palace maids behind the rockery did not discuss it, but just came out to take a look.

When his eyes met Jian Shun's, he was so frightened that he knelt on the ground tremblingly, "Manager Jian..."

"How outrageous! How bold!"

As soon as he said this, the two palace maids knew that someone must have heard them. They were so frightened that their souls flew out of their bodies. They kowtowed and begged, "Master Jian, please spare us. We know we are wrong."

After a while, the guards arrived.

Shuying looked at Jian Shun's furious expression and asked, "What happened?"

Jian Shun only said: "The atmosphere in this palace is not good. I have to investigate it carefully. If Lord Wei knows that someone is slandering the emperor, the queen will never tolerate it!"

Shuying frowned, it seemed that something serious had happened.

He called his men over and said, "Take him to jail!"

"Yes."

The two palace maids were so frightened that they stuttered when they called for help. They could not speak the complete story intermittently and kept begging for mercy.

Jian Shun wiped the sweat off his forehead and whispered a few words to Shuying.

After hearing this, Shuying's face turned pale.

Although those palace maids gossiped.

However, judging from Xiao Lusheng's reaction, Jian Shun was indeed furious.

The point is, the queen is indeed only four months pregnant, and her belly looks a little too big.

Ever since the Empress came back from Yunfo Temple, she refused to allow Li Yuanshi to see her, saying that she was in good health and there was nothing to see.
