The arrogant imperial concubine arrives, the favorite of the regent

The emperor was in a bad mood. After hastily dealing with some memorials, he picked up a cup of hot tea.

I recalled the scene at the tea party again. Many people were present at the party, including King Ye, the Crown Prince, Chu He and others. The only ones missing were Chu Di who was in the North Realm and the one who was still in the palace...

Ye Chufeng!

The emperor felt even more annoyed at this time because of the many unpleasant things that happened at the tea party.

He casually sent a young eunuch away and said, "Go to Qingxuan Palace and see if King Feng has recovered." After all, Ye Chufeng had been recuperating for such a long time, he should have gotten better, right?

"Yes, I obey your command." The young eunuch bent down and was about to leave.

"Wait." The emperor stopped the eunuch again for some reason and turned to look at his personal eunuch.

"How is the situation with the prince?"

Last night, news came from the Prince's residence that the Prince was unwell. The doctors at the Prince's residence could not find out why the Prince suddenly became unwell. For this reason, the Queen had to personally send Doctor Li to visit the Prince.

The personal eunuch understood that the emperor was asking about the prince's health, and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, Doctor Li has been guarding the prince since last night, but Doctor Li still cannot diagnose the prince's illness. The prince has repeated fevers, and even the special antipyretic medicine sold by the Herb Hall cannot completely reduce the fever. The prince's fever will subside within less than half an hour after taking the medicine, and the high fever will recur immediately."

The emperor frowned. The prince had been causing all kinds of embarrassment recently, and he hadn't figured out how to punish him yet, and now the prince was sick. What a worry!

"It's just a high fever. It won't kill anyone. Let Doctor Li take good care of the prince." It will be fine after a few more fevers. What else can happen!

"Yes, I understand." The personal eunuch sensed the emperor's impatience and tried his best to lower his head while replying.

In addition to the sudden discomfort, the prince also has a fatal disease - impotence. Compared with the problem of whether the prince is feeling well or not, the emperor is more concerned about the issue of royal heirs.

"Didn't I send people to find doctors from the folks? Can those doctors find out the root cause of the prince's stubborn illness? Can they cure the prince's stubborn illness?"

"This..." The personal eunuch wanted to bang his head against a wall and die. He couldn't answer any of the emperor's questions.

Answering the truth would certainly anger the Emperor, but he had to answer anyway: "Your Majesty, those doctors all said that their medical skills were limited. They could not diagnose the cause of the Crown Prince's illness, and they had no idea how to cure him."

"Waste!" The emperor snorted coldly, his face showing more anger. The prince was impotent, Chu He's legs were lame, and his two sons were both a cause of worry!

The young eunuch stood there, not knowing whether to continue to Qingxuan Palace.

The emperor glared at the eunuch and said, "Forget it. I will go to Qingxuan Palace myself to relax."

At the same time, the Queen Mother had just finished her lunch. The Queen Mother had lived in the deep palace for a long time, but if she wanted to know something, she still had channels to learn about some major events inside and outside the palace.

What happened at the tea party did not escape the Queen Mother's eyes and ears.

The Queen Mother was a little tired and sighed, "The Emperor is really... really stubborn!"

Gao Yang and others' troubles are definitely not as simple as they seem, and the emperor is also involved behind the scenes. The emperor still regards Ye Wang as a thorn in his side, and also hates Yun Mujiu who helped Ye Mansion.

Madam Kong comforted her, "Queen Mother, you should rest in peace. We should not worry about the affairs of the younger generation." Even though the Queen Mother was the Emperor's biological mother, she could not interfere with the Emperor's actions. The Queen Mother was so old, it was not easy for her to take care of her own life.

The Queen Mother sighed quietly, and at this time the palace maid she had sent in the morning to inquire about the situation in Qingxuan Palace came back.

"Empress Dowager, the people in Qingxuan Palace are still locked up. I don't know what happened to the Seventh Prince."

"Last time, I sent a batch of medicine to Chu Feng. Has he used it up?"

"Reporting to the Queen Mother, the guards guarding the Qingxuan Palace gate said, 'The Seventh Prince is not short of medicine. The medicine the Queen Mother sent last time has not been used up yet.'"

"Yes." The Queen Mother nodded slightly, "As long as there is medicine."

There was not much she could do, and it was not just to send some medicine to Chu Feng. The emperor had few children, and Chu Feng was still the emperor's child after all. How could she let Chu Feng lose his life so easily because of illness?

The little palace maid continued, "Empress Dowager, I met the Emperor on my way back. He was leading his men to the Qingxuan Palace."

"Why did the emperor suddenly go to Qingxuan Palace?" The Queen Mother was afraid that the emperor would vent his anger on the innocent Ye Chufeng because of his bad mood, so she hurriedly said, "Invite the emperor here immediately and tell him that my health has improved and I want to see the emperor."

"Yes! I obey your command!" The little palace maid heard the anxious tone in the Queen Mother's voice and hurried away.

The Queen Mother took a breath, looking increasingly tired.

"I am really old, and my body is becoming more and more useless. I feel so tired after sitting for a long time."

"I don't have time to attend Gao Yang's banquet. Did I miss a lot of people and things?"

Madam Kong raised her eyebrows, knowing that the people the Queen Mother was talking about were mainly from the Meng family. "Queen Mother, only Young Master Meng came from the Meng family, and Duke Meng was also recuperating at home and did not go out."

Nanny Kong's move was intended to comfort the Queen Mother: since Duke Meng did not attend the banquet, the Queen Mother did not have to feel any regret for not being able to attend the banquet.

The Queen Mother forced a smile. "Back then, I was still a young and talented woman in the capital, and Mrs. He was also a noble lady who had just arrived in the capital. Duke Meng was a young and rising military commander in the court. The banquets we attended in the past were always very lively. Unfortunately, things are different now. Mrs. He passed away, and I and Duke Meng are both extremely old."

Nanny Kong sighed for a while, then gently comforted the empress dowager.

Soon, a sharp voice was heard outside.

"The Emperor has arrived!"

The Queen Mother quickly pulled herself together and received the Emperor.

The emperor was very surprised that the empress dowager would take the initiative to find him, and a hint of joy appeared on his face.

A quarter of an hour ago, when the emperor was about to reach the gate of Qingxuan Palace, he heard someone in the Queen Mother's Palace inviting him to visit the Queen Mother. The emperor was a little excited and immediately gave up the idea of ​​meeting Ye Chufeng and quickly went to Renshou Palace.

The Queen Mother and the Emperor and his mother exchanged greetings for a long while. Neither of them mentioned anything about the outside world, but only talked about trivial matters in the palace.

The Queen Mother took the initiative to invite the Emperor to stay for tea and taste the freshly made cakes in the kitchenette.

Then, the emperor saw that the empress dowager was tired, so he took the initiative to say goodbye.

As soon as the emperor left, the empress dowager pressed her temples.

"Empress Dowager, the Emperor seems to be very happy to see you." said Madam Kong.

"Yeah." The empress dowager's face showed no joy or sadness, and she did not feel happy for a moment because the emperor cared about her.

Her heart died when her eldest son died of illness, and she didn't care much about the emperor's youngest son...

After the emperor bid farewell to the empress dowager, his mood calmed down a lot. In the end, he still remembered his intention to go out and came to the door of Qingxuan Palace again.

With a creaky sound, the door of Qingxuan Palace, which had been closed for a long time, was opened by the guards.

Looking at the deserted scene in the palace, the emperor raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Where is the Seventh Prince?"
