After the emperor left, I hurried into the inner room to see my sister.

"Sister, are you okay?" Looking at her lying on the bed with a pale face, I couldn't help feeling a little distressed.

"Look, I'm fine, aren't I? Why are my eyes red? You're pregnant, you can't do this." My sister hurriedly comforted me.

"Yes, sister is right. It is a happy thing that sister gave birth to the little prince safely. Seeing that sister is safe and sound, I feel relieved now." I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Sister Mei, it's late at night. You should go back early to look after the Sixth Prince. Mother is here, you don't have to worry." The elder sister reminded Sister Mei again.

"Huan'er, but I'm always worried about you..." Sister Mei said with some embarrassment.

"Mei'er, just listen to Huan'er. I'm here. And Jinxi, Huanbi, Liuzhu and the others are here, so you can rest assured." Madam Zhen also advised Sister Mei.

"Sister Mei, you should go back too. Aunt and Jinxi are here. It will be the same if you come to see me tomorrow." Thinking of the Sixth Prince, I also tried to persuade Sister Mei.

"Okay then, I'll go back first and come back tomorrow." Sister Mei thought about it and agreed.

"Jinxi, go and see Sister Mei and Lingrong off." The elder sister reminded Jinxi.

"Yes, your majesty, don't worry." Jin Xi replied with a smile.

Everyone was very happy to see the newborn baby boy.

Previously, Prince Guo went to see the Queen Mother. After a brief greeting and regards, Prince Guo hurried out of the palace.

"Queen Dowager, aren't you happy that the prince has returned safely?" Zhu Xi looked at the Queen Dowager's unhappy expression, his heart full of doubts, and couldn't help asking.

The empress dowager frowned slightly, with a hint of worry in her eyes: "Old Seventeen was raised by me, and I have some feelings for him. But I know very well that since he can return safely this time, he must be thinking about his mother Shu Fei. It's just an apparent feeling..." There was a bit of sadness in the empress dowager's tone.

After leaving the palace, Prince Guo rode his horse at full speed all the way to Tonghuatai.

His heart was filled with longing and concern for Concubine Shu, and he wished he could fly to her side immediately.

When he arrived at Tonghuatai, Concubine Shu had been waiting there for a long time.

"Mother, my son is back!" Prince Guo shouted excitedly.

When Concubine Shu heard her son's cry, she hurried forward, her eyes full of joy and anticipation. Seeing Prince Guo approaching, she excitedly said, "Yunli, you are finally back?" Her voice revealed endless joy and relief.

Prince Guo quickly walked up to Concubine Shu and said softly, "Mother, I'm sorry to have worried you. I'm fine. I apologize for your worry."

Concubine Shu stroked her son's face, tears in her eyes.

She looked at Prince Guo carefully and found that he looked very tired and in a bad mood. She asked with concern, "My child, you have suffered a lot these days."

Prince Guo smiled and comforted Concubine Shu, saying, "No, mother, don't worry. I'm back safely. It's all because of your unfilial behavior that you've been worried."

Concubine Shu nodded and said with relief: "As long as you are safe, I will be relieved. Come, come into the house!" She took Prince Guo's hand and walked into the room together.

Next, Prince Guo and Concubine Shu started chatting about family matters...

"Yunli, did you go to see the Queen Mother after you came back?" asked Concubine Shu.

"Mother, I have already paid my respects to the Queen Mother, so please don't worry." Prince Guo said.

"That's good. This way I'll feel more at ease." Concubine Shu said.

"Mother, you don't have to be so cautious. Now that you are outside the palace, you will not have any impact on the people in the palace." Prince Guo said meaningfully to Concubine Shu.

"Yunli, there were so many people in the late emperor's harem back then, and the battle for the throne among the nine princes was so brutal. It is thanks to the empress dowager that you and I, mother and son, were able to escape unscathed." Concubine Shu talked about the past.

"Mother, I know all this. When I was young, you left the palace to practice Buddhism, so I have been raised by the Queen Mother. Over the years, I have respected the Queen Mother very much, but I have never forgotten your kindness." Prince Guo still had feelings for her when he talked about the Queen Mother.

"Mother knows that Yunli is a child who values ​​love and friendship, and will be filial to the Queen Mother. But there is something I must tell you, otherwise I will never be able to feel at ease." Concubine Shu seemed to have something important to say.

"Mother, tell me." Prince Guo also noticed the abnormality of Concubine Shu.

"Do you still remember that mother often told you about her close friend Bizhuer?" Concubine Shu asked Prince Guo.

"Of course I remember her. Didn't she pass away many years ago? But why did mother suddenly bring her up today?" Prince Guo was puzzled.

"I didn't intend to tell you originally, but you had an accident a few days ago, and mother was very worried. Apart from you, the daughter of an old friend is the only one that makes mother worried." Concubine Shu originally didn't intend to tell Prince Guo.

"Mother, do you know where that old friend's child is now?" Prince Guo understood what Concubine Shu meant.

"Mother has always known about it, but she just didn't tell you because she is the daughter of a criminal. Her father was framed and involved in a case of treason. If people knew about it, it would inevitably cause trouble." Concubine Shu talked about her considerations.

"What does mother mean?" Prince Guo didn't understand what Concubine Shu meant.

"Mother hopes that if you have the chance in the future, you can take better care of the child. This will also fulfill the relationship between me and her mother." At this time, Concubine Shu thought of her close friend He Mianmian. Mianmian was the name that Bizhuer later changed for herself.

"The green grass by the river, I miss the distant road." Concubine Shu inadvertently mentioned the origin of He Mianmian's name.

When Prince Guo heard this, he was immediately surprised. As far as he knew, only the Zhen family, the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple... Zhen Yuandao, could it be?

"Mother, you are talking about the daughter of Zhen Yuandao, the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple. However, the legitimate daughter of the Zhen family is now the Concubine Wan, and the second young lady is still young, so how could she..." Prince Guo was even more puzzled.

"That child had a miserable life. After Mianmian passed away, Zhen Yuandao brought her back to the Zhen Mansion because of Mianmian's identity and raised her like a maid. Although I felt sorry for her, there was nothing I could do." Concubine Shu could not hide her sadness when she thought of this.

"Mother, is she talking about Miss Huanbi who is beside Concubine Wan?" Prince Guo asked uncertainly.

"Yunli, do you recognize that child?" Concubine Shu was also a little surprised.

"I've seen her several times at palace banquets, but I wasn't familiar with her. Her eyes and eyebrows do resemble Concubine Wan. It turns out to be her." Prince Guo said thoughtfully.

"Since you know her, I'll leave the child's mother in your hands!" Concubine Shu said happily.

"Don't worry, mother. I know what to do." Prince Guo assured Concubine Shu.
