The abandoned concubine is charming and charming, and the sickly prince breaks his waist

The next day, when Hua Shu woke up, the strange feeling in her heart disappeared, so she didn't pay too much attention to it and just thought that something went wrong with Chu Hengzhi.

She sat in front of the dressing table and let Chao Caiyue and Rendong do her makeup, but her thoughts couldn't help but wander away.

After inserting the last hairpin for her, Caiyue seemed to be hesitant to speak: "Master, didn't the emperor say that you don't have to go to pay respects to the queen? Why do you insist on going?"

Hua Shu withdrew her thoughts and looked at her bright and beautiful face in the mirror. The corners of her lips slightly raised, forming a charming arc.

"It's been a while since I last appeared before the Queen. It's time to go and pay my respects to her."

Hearing this, Caiyue said nothing more, but the worry between her brows did not subside.

Hua Shu asked them to get her a set of bright dresses and put them on, then took them out of Chuxiu Palace.

Not long after the master and servants left Chuxiu Palace, they ran into Concubine Yi, who was also going to pay her respects to Empress Liu.

There was a flash of surprise in Concubine Yi's eyes when she saw her. Ever since she found out she was pregnant, Hua Shu had not gone to pay her respects to the Queen. Why did she think of paying her respects to the Queen today?

Although she couldn't figure it out, she still stepped forward and politely bowed to Hua Shu: "Your concubine greets Concubine Rou."

Hua Shu did not go forward to help her this time, but smiled and said: "Sister, you are going to pay your respects to the Queen."

Concubine Yi lowered her head and said, "Your Majesty, that's right."

Hua Shu nodded, and the smile on her face deepened: "In that case, let's go together."

"Yes." Although Concubine Yi didn't want to go with her, she couldn't refuse since she had already asked. So she simply went to Chonghua Palace with her. At most, she would just say less on the way.

Hua Shu frowned slightly when she approached Concubine Yi. Why did she smell a faint smell of medicine on her? She seemed to have never smelled it before.

She glanced at Concubine Yi without leaving a trace, and said apologetically, "I stole your favor that night. I wonder if you can blame me."

Yipin knew that she was referring to the incident the night before when the emperor came out of Lanyuexuan and went to Chuxiu Palace.

She lowered her head, her voice filled with fear: "I dare not. Besides, the emperor is suddenly worried about you and wants to go see you. How can you steal my favor?"

She was a talkative person. Hua Shu couldn't help but look at her again and said with a smile: "Actually, I have something else I want to ask my sister."

Yipin knew she couldn't evade him, so she smiled and said, "Your Highness, please ask, I will tell you everything I know."

Hua Shu stopped and looked at her with a sharp gaze: "Sister, do you know why the Sixth Prince appeared in Lanyue Pavilion that night?"

Yipin still had her head down, but her voice was clear: "I heard that the Sixth Prince missed the Emperor too much, and when he heard that the Emperor was in Lanyue Pavilion, he wanted to go and see him secretly, but he ran into an assassin."

She knew Hua Shu wouldn't believe what she said, but she could only follow the emperor's order and say so, otherwise she would arouse endless suspicion.

But she didn't know that even if she said that, Hua Shu still doubted her.

"So that's how it is." Hua Shu continued walking towards Chonghua Palace. Suddenly she remembered something, so she stopped and looked at Concubine Yi, who seemed to want to say something but hesitated.

Yipin didn't want to pay attention, but seeing her like this, she couldn't help but ask, "Your Majesty, do you have something to say to me?"

Hua Shu nodded, pretended to hesitate for a moment, took a few steps closer to her, and lowered his voice and said, "In fact, I heard that it was because my sister looked like the Sixth Prince's biological mother, Wang Cairen, that the Sixth Prince risked his life to go to Lanyuexuan to see my sister."

Concubine Yi wanted to take a few steps back to keep some distance from her, but she was afraid that it would be too obvious and arouse her suspicion, so she had to suppress the urge to step back.

But after hearing what Hua Shu said, she couldn't help but look up at her, but she didn't want to meet her smiling eyes.

Concubine Yi quickly lowered her head and took a step back to keep some distance from her, with a hint of fear in her voice.

"Your Majesty, please don't say such things. How can I dare to be compared with the prince's biological mother?"

"I've said too much. Don't mind it, Sister Wei. Let's go. It would be bad if we miss the time to pay our respects to the Queen." Hua Shu retracted his gaze and continued to walk towards Chonghua Palace.

The reason why she said this was not to test Yun Cairen, but to take the opportunity to get close to her and find out the smell of medicine on her body.

She now has the answer. The smell of medicine on Concubine Yun is very similar to that on Concubine Yi before. Both are the smell of pregnancy-maintaining medicine.

She had some suspicion that this Yun Cairen was disguised as Yipin, but Yun Cai and Yipin had very different figures, words and deeds. Even if the face could change, the figure and habits could not be changed in such a short time.

For a moment, Hua Shu fell into deep thought.

Soon, they arrived at the gate of Chonghua Palace and ran into Concubine Fu, Concubine Lin, Concubine Qi, Concubine Li, Concubine Ning, Concubine Shun... and a group of people.

Hua Shu stepped forward and bowed to them. Several nobles, beauties, and talented people also bowed to her.

When Concubine Fu saw her coming, she frowned slightly, walked up to her and said softly, "Didn't the Queen exempt you from paying respects? Why are you here?"

Hua Shu smiled and said, "I feel much better now, so I thought of coming here to pay my respects to Her Majesty the Queen."

Concubine Fu glanced at her, sighed softly and said, "If you feel uncomfortable later, go back and rest."

Hua Shu nodded, and when she met Concubine Li Shu's gaze, the smile in her eyes deepened.

Concubine Li Shu quickly avoided her sight with a look of disgust on her face.

Concubine Qi Hui saw this scene and a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

At this moment, Aunt Zhang came in and said, "The Queen invites all the ladies in."

When everyone, led by Concubine Fu, walked in and paid their respects to Empress Liu, Hua Shu held her stomach and took a deep breath.

Upon seeing this, Concubine Fu hurriedly asked, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

Hua Shu smiled at her and said, "Maybe it's because I've been lying down for too long, and I felt a little uncomfortable in my abdomen when I suddenly knelt down."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's eyes fell on Empress Liu. Hua Shu's action was undoubtedly a provocation to the Empress by relying on her pregnancy. They were all waiting for Empress Liu's reaction.

Empress Liu also knew that Hua Shu was provoking her because she didn't believe that she didn't kneel down to salute when the emperor went to Chuxiu Palace.

But even if she knew, she couldn't do anything about Hua Shu. After all, the emperor had warned her more than once to make sure Hua Shu gave birth to the child.

Thinking of this, Empress Liu loosened her tightly clenched hands in her sleeves and smiled gently: "Since you are not in good condition, please sit down quickly."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." After Hua Shu sat down, he looked at her with a smile, with undisguised provocation in his eyes.

She wanted to see how long the queen could endure.
