Noble Lady

With just one word from Concubine Chen, the arrogant and murderous Queen Han stopped and turned pale.

after that.

The queen then ordered the release of the person.

Except for Princess Jinghua, everyone else was able to leave.

Concubine Chen grabbed Xue Chenyu's wrist without hesitation and strode away.

Out of the gate of Jinyang Palace.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for saving my life." Xue Chenyu bowed deeply.

I originally thought that Concubine Chen left Luoluo with His Majesty to guard against her, but I didn't expect that she was actually guarding against the Queen's back-up plan.

Moreover, she could confront the Queen without blushing or beating her heart when she broke into the palace to save people.

As expected of a concubine who has been in the palace for many years and has always been favored, she is indeed quite capable.

Concubine Chen raised her hand and said, "There's no need to talk about this anymore. Let's leave here first."

Just now, she had only used the incident of the little girl from the Xue family at His Majesty's place to make the Queen lose her composure for a moment. After a moment, she came to her senses and was bound to continue the struggle.

Xue Chenyu followed suit readily.

Princess Taotao couldn't help but mutter, "The Empress is always mean to Sister Jinghua. This time, Sister Jinghua, my mother, and I rescued Sister Xue together. The Empress doesn't know how to deal with her."

Concubine Chen glanced behind her in the direction of Jinyang Palace and sighed, "Who told her she was the child that crawled out of the Queen's belly?"

No one could help her in this matter.

A trace of sadness flashed across Taotao's eyes, but she didn't argue with Concubine Chen and left with everyone else.

At this time, Xue Chenyu couldn't help but sigh again that her value was still very high.

Xue Chenyu was not familiar with the roads in the palace. She only vaguely remembered passing through two palace gates with Cai Lian and the others.

This time, they followed the imperial concubine and the others around in circles, and after passing through two palace gates, they finally returned to the place where Eunuch Wang had arranged for them to temporarily stay after they entered the palace.

just.

The imperial concubine did not lead her to the side hall, but took her to the main hall.

As they walked, he instructed her, "When you see His Majesty later, you should know clearly what to say and what not to say."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. My sister is still with Your Majesty. Unless I want to implicate her, I will never say anything."

Concubine Chen raised her eyebrows. If these words were said by someone close to her, it would be fine, but when she heard them from Xue Chenyu, she always felt that something was wrong.

"It's good that Princess Anping knows."

Concubine Chen led her to the main hall. The eunuch at the door immediately informed her, and then a voice came from inside, "Announce."

"Your Highness, His Majesty summons you, Her Royal Highness the Princess, and the Princess of Anping to come in."

"Thank you." Concubine Chen nodded slightly.

At this moment, she did not show any of the arrogance she had in Jinyang Palace, but was polite and courteous.

The eunuch also quickly returned the greeting, "Your Highness is too polite. I am just a servant, how can I deserve such a generous gift from you."

But it can be seen that he is very grateful for the courtesy shown to him by the imperial concubine.

In other words, who doesn't want to be respected by others?

As the saying goes, if someone respects me one foot, I will respect him one yard. This is the truth.

Concubine Chen had her own way of staying in favor for so many years.

But as the imperial concubine stepped over the threshold, Xue Chenyu quickly calmed down and followed her in.

The first time she met the emperor, she even thought carefully about which foot to step over the threshold first.

"Your Majesty, long live the Emperor."

Concubine Chen was setting the example in front, and Xue Chenyu followed suit.

"Be flat."

A gentle and pleasant middle-aged male voice came into her ears, which was not as thunderous as she had imagined. Xue Chenyu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

From the corner of my eye, I saw Concubine Chen and Princess Taotao standing up with the help of palace maids, and they also stood up gracefully, lifting their skirts.

However, it is said that one dare not look directly at Tian Yan.

Xue Chenyu didn't dare to look up rashly, but just looked slightly upwards.

I thought I would see a piece of black robe.

did not expect.

The next moment, a soft little body shot into her arms like a ball.

"Sister."

Xue Chenyu was stunned, "Luoluo?"

She looked at the little girl in her arms and was shocked for a long time.

"Luoluo, why are you..."

"His Majesty has summoned a powerful medical officer to treat Lord Cai." Before she could ask the question in her mind, Xue Luoyan spoke first.

Xue Chenyu looked in the direction she pointed.

Cai Jinxue was sitting on a soft couch on one side of the hall, feeling very uncomfortable. In front of him, a serious-looking medical officer was taking his pulse.

But she happened to recognize this person.

The portrait that Meimei, claiming to be a master, had painted was of this person.

All I can say is that Xiaocao and Chunhua’s descriptions are very vivid, and the painting depicts the main characteristics of this person very well.

So even though he didn't look arrogant at this moment, but looked serious, Xue Chenyu still recognized him at a glance.

"This is the famous Imperial Physician, Yang Kaitai." Concubine Chen said in a low voice, trying to help Xue Chenyu clear up her confusion.

Xue Chenyu looked at Concubine Chen in surprise, and saw a hint of shared hatred against a common enemy in her eyes.

Yes.

This is the person the prince asked to treat Liu, so he must be on the side of the prince and the queen. Even if he has not formally surrendered, he must be on their side.

Concubine Chen couldn't help feeling a little uncomfortable.

"Sister, let me tell you, this medical officer is amazing! He actually told us all the injuries Lord Cai had, including how long ago they were sustained and what medicine was used to treat them!"

Xue Luoyan was not nervous at all because this was the imperial palace. Instead, she talked to Xue Chenyu incessantly about the greatness of the medical officer Yang Kaitai.

Xue Chenyu had no choice but to nod repeatedly, and the nervousness of meeting the emperor for the first time was relieved a lot because of Luo Luo.

"Are you the girl from the Xue family?"

Suddenly, the pleasant and gentle voice of the middle-aged man was heard again.

Xue Chenyu subconsciously looked in the direction of the voice and saw a refined and easy-going middle-aged man looking at her with a loving face.

However, behind him followed the respectful eunuch Wang Gonggong.

His temperament was so friendly that if he wasn't wearing the black dragon robe, people would really think he was a scholar from a wealthy family who lived a life of luxury.

And, it seems a little familiar?

"Princess Anping, you can't look directly at the emperor!" Concubine Chen reminded.

Xue Chenyu came to her senses and immediately knelt down.

"Don't kneel." His Majesty said slowly, "Girl, there's no need to be too nervous. I let you into the palace just to see you."

As soon as these words were spoken, Xue Chenyu's heart skipped a beat and his face changed.

Concubine Chen, Princess Taotao, the chief eunuch Wang Gonggong and others could not help but gasp.

"...Your Majesty, what do you mean?"

His Majesty sighed helplessly, "It's all because of your old-fashioned father. He keeps these two precious daughters hidden away. No matter how many times I ask him to bring them into the palace so I can see them, he refuses."

"I don't have a daughter myself, so how can I steal his daughter?"

Uh……

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone knew that they had misunderstood His Majesty's meaning.

Xue Chenyu smiled apologetically, "...Your Majesty, please forgive me. My father never mentioned entering the palace. Instead, he often told us that the Wu'an Marquis's residence was not prominent, so we should be careful with our words and actions and never cause trouble."

Judging from the familiar tone His Majesty used when he mentioned my father, it didn't sound like an ordinary relationship between a monarch and his subjects.

If she hadn't entered the palace today, she might never have known that there was a relationship between His Majesty and her father that went beyond that of monarch and subject?

His Majesty couldn't help but frown upon hearing this. "He has been that old-fashioned type since he was a child, and he is still like this now."

As he spoke, he looked at Xue Chenyu again and said, "Girl, don't you remember me?"

Xue Chenyu: “Ah?”

She, should she remember His Majesty?

But she hasn't seen it either.

Xue Chenyu looked helplessly at Concubine Chen and Princess Taotao, they also had confused expressions on their faces.

His Majesty saw Xue Chenyu's innocent eyes, showing no recollection of anything, and immediately became annoyed again, "It's all Xue Heting's fault. He hid you all for so many years, making you forget even me."

"I held you in my arms when you were little, and you peed all over me when you were that big."
