The next day.

Su Rong also tidied up her court dress and went to the morning court.

When Yan Chu came out, she was already in the carriage.

"Why? You don't want to go to the morning court?"

Seeing him standing at the door and not coming forward, Su Rong frowned slightly. Looking at the man who once promised her a lifetime of love and now hesitating before even approaching her, she really began to doubt her life.

"That's not what I meant, but Father summoned you again?"

At that moment, Yan Chu really didn't want to get close to her, as he was always worried that she would become emotionally unstable again and there would be endless quarrels again.

"No, I just went to the palace to visit my mother and apologize to her for what happened before."

Su Rong had a cold expression.

After Yan Chu got on the carriage, she was also able to deal with it rationally.

"Besides, hasn't the Queen Mother's health always been poor? I accidentally found a thousand-year-old ginseng and wanted to give it to her to replenish her body."

There was indeed a box beside her.

This surprised Yan Chu a little.

Didn't she dislike dealing with her mother in the past? And even when she met her in the palace, she was always arrogant.

"I've seen the defense of your inn. It's well done."

"I'm afraid someone will suddenly appear around the Third Princess. Her bedroom is guarded by warriors from outside the Great Wall. I'm not sure."

Su Rong did not hide it either.

She felt that her only weakness was around her third sister.

As for the yard, she had surrounded it so tightly that not even a fly could get in.

"Perhaps you can go and discuss it with the Third Princess."

The carriage started off, and the two chatted all the way into the palace.

As they walked shoulder to shoulder into the hall, officials in the court all looked at them sideways.

This feeling reminded Yan Chu of the past.

When he first married Su Rong, he didn't have much affection for her.

When did you feel that she was special and you couldn't take your eyes off her?

It seemed to have started from the first time I saw her, a woman, wearing official uniform and entering the court.

At that time, Su Rong also attracted everyone's attention and was the most dazzling one in the crowd.

In a flash, he was already in the court.

But the emperor never came.

Until the chief steward appeared and delivered the message in a very sharp voice.

"Your Majesty is not feeling well and cannot attend court. Your Majesty has ordered that from today onwards, Prince Shuo will temporarily handle state affairs."

King Shuo?

All the civil and military officials looked at the person opposite the King of Qin.

Yes, King Shuo has been highly regarded recently.

I don’t know how long the emperor’s body can hold on. Will he pass the throne to King Shuo on his deathbed?

What about the King of Qin?

How could he be willing to give up the throne? Is there going to be a war in Kyoto?

After the chief steward delivered the message, the court suddenly became eerily quiet.

He hung his head timidly, looking as if it had nothing to do with him.

Some stole glances at King Shuo, but more people's eyes were on King Qin.

I was worried that he would suddenly attack in the court.

"Is there anything important to report today?"

The voice of King Shuo was heard at this time.

He walked to the central hall with a calm expression.

It seems that he is not very happy about this matter.

After being stunned for a moment, the court officials saw that the King of Qin did not respond, so they stood up one after another and discussed the affairs of state.

He didn't say anything the whole time.

The same is true for Su Rong.

As soon as the court was over, she went to the harem.

Yan Chu was stopped by King Shuo at the entrance of the hall.

"Brother Qin Wang, I don't know how our father is doing now. Why don't we go to the Shangshu Palace to see him?"

Right at the entrance of the main hall.

The minister who walked slower heard this.

He staggered and almost fell down.

"it is good."

The two people who had always been hostile to each other made an appointment to go together in front of everyone.

"Do you feel that His Royal Highness King Shuo has been a little strange recently?"

The elderly Censor Li was so frightened that his legs went limp, and his colleagues had to help him.

But he was keenly aware of something.

His eyes followed King Shuo's back all the way.

"It is indeed a bit strange for two princes to walk together."

Shangshu Hall.

The emperor lay in bed, unable to sleep. His head was groggy and his body seemed out of control. He could not get up by himself.

His eyes were also very cloudy, and he was staring upwards in a daze.

He already vaguely felt that his end was approaching.

So who will the throne be passed to?

"Your Majesty, the King of Qin and the King of Shuo request an audience."

As soon as a thought flashed through my mind, the voice of the chief steward sounded in my ears.

"pass."

He said weakly.

Then he was supported by the eunuch and slowly stood up.

But when he looked up and saw King Qin and King Shuo coming together, he was stunned.

He was completely confused just now, and probably didn't realize who wanted to see him.

Look, the two of them appeared together, and he was surprised.

"Did everything go well during the morning court today?"

He was a little frightened.

After thinking about it for a long time, he was worried that the King of Qin had kidnapped the King of Shuo and forced him to come over.

So my hands were shaking slightly.

"Replying to Father, there is nothing important in the court today."

King Shuo spoke in a gentle tone, walked forward and sat next to the bed.

Very close to the Emperor.

Yan Chu, on the other hand, was five steps away, keeping a certain distance.

But the emperor's eyes were on him first.

"Is Princess Qin all right?"

As he said this, his face was full of worry.

"Reporting to Father, Su Rong is doing well."

The emperor nodded slowly.

"You are not young anymore. If you don't have a child, I am worried that you will be laughed at by the whole world."

"I am an unfilial son and have made Father worried."

Yan Chu lowered his eyes.

This incident made him feel gloomy.

Thinking of the child Shuer had lost, he felt sad.

"I am powerless, and I cannot make the decision about your affairs."

King Shuo accompanied him quietly, seemingly calm, but he was in the most tormented heart.

He kept thinking about what Su Rong had said, and convinced himself again and again that he was just dormant temporarily, and it didn't mean he had failed.

What Su Rong said made sense. One should bow one's head when necessary. Since she is not as strong as King Qin now, she should keep a low profile and protect herself.

Pepperwood Palace.

Su Rong appeared in the yard.

But the door was closed, Nanny Gui was guarding there, and the palace maids were standing in two rows, looking at her vigilantly.

Who could have thought that when she came here, she couldn't even see the queen, and was even regarded as an 'enemy' by them.

After a while, Nanny Du came out from the inner room.

"Your Majesty is not feeling well and will not see any visitors. Princess Qin, please go back."

She came but was not allowed in, so she waited patiently for the report.

But she thought, she was her daughter-in-law and came from a noble family, so how could the queen not give her face?

Who would have thought that even after giving in like this, she would still be rejected?

If I didn't have something to verify, do you think I really want to come here?

Su Rong was so angry that she secretly clenched her hands.

He gritted his teeth and spoke softly again.

"I am here to sincerely admit my mistakes. Everything that happened in the past was my fault. Please give me a chance, Mother."

This is when she bowed her head again.
