The Legend of Zhen Huan: Rebirth of Ling Rong

Chapter 94 Decentralization of Powers

Only Su Peisheng could see clearly that the emperor was unhappy because of Queen Chunyuan.

The emperor was busy all night and didn't go to bed until midnight. Su Peisheng watched and didn't dare to persuade him.

The next day, the emperor got up and after breakfast, he told Su Peisheng to go to Suiyuxuan.

In fact, the emperor himself knew very well that there were many people like Queen Chunyuan in the world, but there was only one Rouze.

He was simply delighted by every person whose features resembled Rouze's. Thus, he doted on all the women who resembled Rouze.

For example, Concubine Wan's beauty and talent, Concubine Rong's voice and singing voice, Concubine Hui's dignity and generosity, and Concubine Duan's indifference to the world...

"Your Majesty, are you still going to Suiyuxuan to visit Concubine Wan today? But Concubine Wan is about to give birth, so it is only right that you visit her more often." Su Peisheng asked cautiously.

"Well... let's go!" The emperor said with a blank expression and a cold tone.

Su Peisheng was a little unsure of the emperor's thoughts for a moment, but he didn't dare to say anything more. He could only respond, "Yes!" and then escorted the emperor to Suiyuxuan.

Along the way, the emperor remained silent and Su Peisheng did not dare to speak rashly.

Arriving at the entrance of Suiyuxuan, Su Peisheng announced it, and Concubine Wan came out to greet him. She hurriedly bowed and said, "Your Highness!"

The emperor looked up at her, looked around as if looking for someone, and then walked into the house and sat down.

Concubine Wan went in and personally poured tea and water for the emperor, and asked with concern, "Your Majesty, have you had breakfast today? Would you mind if I could ask the kitchen to prepare some of your favorite dishes?"

The emperor frowned slightly and waved his hand, saying, "No need. I've already used it and thought of coming to see you."

Concubine Wan then asked with concern, "Your Majesty seems unhappy. Is there something wrong with your health? Should we ask the imperial physician to take a look?"

The emperor waved his hand impatiently and said, "Never mind. I'm fine. I'm just a little tired."

Upon seeing this, Concubine Wan hurriedly whispered to comfort him, "Your Majesty is busy with state affairs, so it's natural that he must be tired. I have some new good tea here, how about making some for Your Majesty to try?" As she said that, she ordered Huanbi to prepare the tea.

The emperor still looked indifferent, as if he had no interest in anything.

Seeing the emperor's absent-minded appearance, Concubine Wan couldn't help but feel a little worried, wondering what was wrong with the emperor. But she couldn't ask directly.

"Why don't I see your mother today? Is it because my coming scared your mother-in-law away?" The emperor joked.

"Your Majesty, mother got up early and went to pay her respects and express her gratitude to the Empress. She should be back soon. She should have gone to the palace yesterday, but the Empress has been unwell recently, and I didn't go because I didn't want to disturb her rest." Concubine Wan carefully explained the reason.

"So that's how it is. The Queen has been in poor health and has fallen ill recently. The affairs of the harem are complicated, and I want to find someone to share the burden with her. Who does Wanwan think is capable of taking on this task?" The Emperor suddenly spoke and asked tentatively.

"Your Majesty, this..." Concubine Wan hesitated to speak.

"Wanwan, feel free to say whatever you want. I'll just treat it as gossip!" The emperor looked at Concubine Wan and comforted her.

"Then I will tell you what I have to say. If what I say is not right, Your Majesty, please do not be angry."

"That's natural, just don't worry."

"Right now, the Empress is not feeling well. The only ones left in the harem are Concubine Duan and Concubine Jing, who have rich experience. Concubine Jing once helped the Empress manage the six palaces, so she should be able to take on the important task. Sister Mei is now devoted to her children, and I'm afraid she doesn't have the time and energy." Concubine Wan expressed her thoughts.

"What you said is true. It's just that Concubine Duan is not in good health. The affairs of the six palaces are too complicated and she can't bear it. Concubine Jing, on the other hand, has a gentle temperament and is cautious and careful in her work. She is a good choice. As for Concubine Hui, her child is growing up and has wet nurses to take care of her, so she can be a good choice." The emperor thought about Concubine Wan's words and expressed his considerations.

"I will give this matter some serious thought. With someone to share the burden, the Queen can rest assured and recuperate."

The Emperor was talking to Concubine Wan when they heard footsteps outside. They looked at each other, both puzzled. At this moment, Madam Zhen returned.

It turned out that Madam Zhen got up early to pay her respects to the Queen, but the Queen was not well yet and had not gotten up.

She explained her purpose to Jianqiu, who was beside the queen, and then returned.

Because when the emperor came, he only brought Su Peisheng with him, so he didn't notice that the emperor was here.

The Emperor watched Madam Zhen come in, his lips curled up slightly, a hint of smile flashed in his eyes. He coughed lightly to remind Madam Zhen that he was here.

Madam Zhen hurriedly knelt down and saluted the emperor.

The emperor spoke gently, "Madam, please stand up quickly. There is no need to be so polite."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Jin Xi helped Madam Zhen up.

"I heard that Madam went to pay her respects to the Queen. Is the Queen feeling better now?" The Emperor asked Madam Zhen.

Madam Zhen's heart tightened, and she felt a little uncomfortable when she felt the emperor's gaze.

"The Empress is not feeling well and is still asleep. I have not seen her." Madam Zhen answered the Emperor respectfully.

"Oh? The Queen is not well yet..." The Emperor was a little surprised when he heard what Madam Zhen said.

"Then I will go see the Empress. Madam, you can rest assured and stay in Suiyuxuan. If you need anything, just inform the Ministry of Internal Affairs and have them deliver it."

As the emperor spoke, his eyes unconsciously looked at Madam Zhen again.

Mrs. Zhen couldn't help feeling a little uneasy. She quickly turned her head away, not daring to look at the emperor.

"Su Peisheng, go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and tell them that anything Suiyuxuan needs must be delivered to us first. No delays are allowed."

The emperor turned to Su Peisheng who was standing beside him and spoke. His voice was low and majestic, making people dare not disobey in the slightest.

"Yes, I understand. I will go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to inform them later." Su Peisheng quickly agreed.

"Wanwan, I will go see the queen first. You should rest well. If you feel unwell in any way, send someone to inform her." The emperor instructed Concubine Wan.

"Yes, thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I understand."

The emperor took Su Peisheng out, but when they reached the door of Suiyuxuan, the emperor looked back.

Su Peisheng didn't know what the emperor meant by turning back, and he didn't dare to speculate.

After leaving Suiyuxuan, the emperor went directly to the queen's Kunning Palace.

At this time, the queen was in the room, feeling upset. There were more and more children in the palace, but she could do nothing at the moment.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Wan's mother came to pay her respects to Your Majesty, why is Your Majesty not here?" Jianqiu asked the Queen in confusion.

"Concubine Wan is about to give birth. If she gives birth to a prince, my position will be even more unstable. Although the Third Prince is the eldest son, he is very mediocre and not as smart as the Fourth Prince who comes from a humble background. How can I not be worried?" The Queen was talking to Jianqiu.
