Chapter 1,281: How Can I Be Someone Else?

When the queen came in, she looked around carefully and breathed a sigh of relief when she found no one else.

The eunuch led him to the bedroom behind the imperial study.

The dormitory was very quiet, and only the eunuch Derong was there. When he saw the empress coming, he stepped forward to salute.

"How is the Emperor's health?" The Queen stood still, looked at the Emperor who was lying on the bed with his eyes closed, and asked with concern in a low voice.

"It's still the same look!" Derong said.

"What did the imperial doctor say after seeing it?" the Queen asked again.

"The imperial doctor's intention is to take good care of her." Derong said.

"Then just take a good rest. Why don't you go to the Emperor's own residence? It's not always good to live here!" The Queen frowned, very satisfied that the Emperor was still living in the Imperial Study Room at this time.

The emperor has his own palace, but this one is a bit too simple.

"The emperor is not in good health, so it is convenient to stay here!" Derong lowered his voice.

"Nonsense, the emperor is like this. You need to have a good rest. How can you still deal with state affairs." The queen reprimanded in a low voice as if she was thinking about the emperor.

Derong lowered his head but did not respond.

After the Queen reprimanded her, her expression softened: "It's not that you don't take good care of the Emperor. You should be more concerned about the Emperor's body and not let the Emperor worry about your body."

Derong is the personal eunuch beside the emperor. No matter when, the queen cannot really offend Derong.

"Yes, I will persuade the emperor." Derong whispered, and then looked at the emperor lying on the bed, "The emperor just rested, why don't you come again next time?"

"The emperor is ill, how can I leave in peace? Before, I closed the palace for self-examination and could not take care of the emperor. Now that I am out, how can I not take care of the emperor?" The queen sat down on a chair beside her as a matter of course. Come down, said.

Since you have decided to guard the emperor, of course you have to come early to guard him.

Derong looked at the emperor lying on the bed, and said to the queen with a smile: "My queen, you'd better go back first. The emperor doesn't like people watching over him."

"Not even me?" The Queen's face darkened, "How can I be someone else? I'm really worried about leaving the Emperor to you to guard."

The Emperor's health is not good, and we really can't allow anyone to take advantage of it at this time. Since I appear in front of others, I can't let people like Concubine De and Concubine Ming take advantage of me. I can know about anything here first.

"Is the queen worried about me or about your position?" The emperor on the bed opened his eyes and said coldly.

Derong hurriedly stepped forward to help him up.

The queen didn't expect that the emperor would wake up and say such a slap in the face. Her face immediately turned red, and she stood up with a sad expression: "Your Majesty... I am really worried about you... Is my concubine's concubine located? , It’s really not a big deal, if I can exchange my concubine’s position for the emperor’s well-being, I am also willing to do so.”

His eyes turned red as he spoke.

"Go back!" The emperor's expression softened a bit, but he still waved his hand, "I don't want to keep anyone here. Leaving people here will give you a headache. If you have nothing to do, go back first!"

"Your Majesty..." The Queen was able to say that in front of Derong because even though he was the Emperor's confidant, he was just a slave.

At the same time, the person in front of her is the emperor. No matter how capable the queen is, she does not dare to fight with the emperor. She can only look at the emperor with tears in her eyes, with a sad look in her eyes, "Your Majesty... I am your first wife. !”

"Go back, I'm tired!" The emperor closed his eyes for a moment, and then said with a cold look.

Seeing the emperor's cold look, the Queen reluctantly bowed to him and left reluctantly. When she got outside the imperial study, she calmed down the sadness in her eyes and glanced at the imperial study behind her. Derong, who was sending her out, asked, "Are there any other concubines staying here at night?"

"No, the emperor likes to be quieter." Derong said in a panic without blushing and angrily.

Hearing what he said, the Queen breathed a sigh of relief. She was afraid that others would take advantage of something happening to her in the past few days and seize the opportunity first. It was not the best right now.

A maid behind her came forward and handed Derong a purse, "Your Majesty, please take care of me. I will definitely reward you heavily in the future."

Derong took it and said, "Congratulations to the Queen!"

Seeing him taking the banknotes in his wallet, the Queen became more kind, nodded to him, and left with the others...

When Chu Liuchen returned home, Shao Wanru was still awake, embroidering a small sachet under the lamp.

Hearing the sound coming from outside, he raised his head and looked into Chu Liuchen's smiling eyes. He put down the sachet in his hand and stood up.

Chu Liuchen took two steps and walked to her side and put his hand on her shoulders: "Why aren't you sleeping yet? It's so late!"

"It's not too late!" Shao Wanru smiled.

"Then let's rest first!" Seeing her gentle smile, Chu Liuchen's heart relaxed slightly, and his eyes were no longer so cold where Shao Wanru could not see them.

It was really getting late. The two of them had washed up and went to bed. Chu Liuchen held Shao Wanru in his arms and closed his eyes. He felt a little confused today.

"Is there anything going on in the palace?" Shao Wanru asked softly, sensing that his mood was wrong.

"It's nothing!" Chu Liuchen mumbled, turned his head and kissed her tender ear gently, then opened his eyes slightly, and his eyes became intense, "How is Princess Qinghua's health?"

"It's getting better, but I still don't recognize anyone." Shao Wanru said. She has been visiting her mother these days. Her mother's condition is good or not, but it is basically impossible for her to get better. We can only take good care of her life. When her mother still recognized her grandmother, her grandmother was surprised, happy and excited.

As for myself and Hao'er, my mother didn't know them.

"Maybe this is good, at least you don't have to go through the pain of losing your father again." Chu Liuchen heard the sadness behind her words and comforted her.

Hearing that there was something else in Chu Liuchen's words, Shao Wanru thought about it in his mind and said, "I know!"

He took the initiative to hug Chu Liuchen and put his head tightly against his chest: "Who did you meet in the palace?"

"Concubine Lan!" Chu Liuchen didn't say anything for a long time this time, so long that Shao Wanru almost thought he wouldn't answer. It took a long time before he heard such a faint sentence from him.

It is indeed Concubine Lan!

Shao Wanru already understood the reason for his mood swings and moved slightly, "You... don't be sad!"

"You guessed it!" Chu Liuchen's voice was very dark.

.

Shao Wanru was silent for a long time, and then said, "There are some."

"Have you never thought that Concubine Lan is my mother? The mother who gave birth to me?" Chu Liuchen curled his lips, his eyes intense and deep in the darkness, "With such a mother, I would rather she be like Princess Qinghua so."

Shao Wanru didn't speak. Chu Liuchen didn't need to say anything at this time. Since he wanted to say something, he was a good listener. If he didn't want to say anything, he wouldn't ask any more questions. Since the wound was already scarred, there was no need to dig it again. It would be bloody and painful again. With Chu Liuchen's life experience, if he was really just the heir of the late emperor, how could he give up on himself?

He clearly despised everything about himself, even his own life.

I hugged him hard and gave him silent support.

"Concubine Lan is my mother and the late empress, but my uncle is my biological father. Compared to being an illegitimate son who is not visible, my identity is even more shameful. However, they paid for such a shameful status. Mine." Chu Liuchen said mockingly, his voice cold and gloomy.

"I have been shady for so many years. I have been named in the name of the late emperor for so many years. But now I want to jump out and fight for the throne."

Shao Wanru's heart skipped a few beats. She guessed that it was one thing, but hearing it clearly was another thing. She didn't expect that Chu Liuchen would speak so directly. She was speechless for a moment, and just hugged her harder. She hugged him, leaned her head tightly against him, and comforted him silently.

Chu Liuchen has always had a deep heart and has never been so out of control. It can be seen that he was stimulated when he entered the palace just now.

Sensing Shao Wanru's silent exertion, her slender arms silently clinging to him, thinking of her efforts to keep him warm, Chu Liuchen's cold heart couldn't help but feel warm, and he stretched out his hand to hug Shao harder and harder. As if, no matter what others do to me, at least I still have her.

This feeling was very warm, diluting the dark bird of prey in his heart.

"Don't be sad!" Shao Wanru's voice was soft and thin, but it was clear and strong in the night, "Maybe she has some unavoidable reasons!"

"What unavoidable reasons did she have to do such a thing? She even gave up her position as queen and was only willing to follow this man and be a low-class Concubine Lan. Her family was demoted and she was disgraced. Damn it, she is not upright and was plotted against me, causing me to be poisoned before I was born. She has done enough for a man!"

Chu Liuchen said coldly. In the darkness, sensing his anger, Shao Wanru patted his arm gently: "It's okay, you still have me. Even if everyone else gives up on you, you still have me." !Besides, Concubine Lan may have other reasons!"

"What kind of difficulties would make her do such a thing!" Chu Liuchen said coldly.

"Would you like me to... try to get close to Concubine Lan!" Shao Wanru said.

"No, let her go!" Chu Liuchen coldly interrupted Shao Wanru's thoughts. He didn't want to know anything, and he didn't want to know anything. If he hadn't just noticed that Concubine Lan was behind the screen, he wouldn't have Suddenly out of control.

Shao Wanru stopped talking and leaned softly in Chu Liuchen's arms, trying her best to calm the anger in Chu Liuchen's heart. Unlike Chu Liuchen, she had been resentful of Concubine Lan for a long time. She and Concubine Lan I've seen that gentle woman, she doesn't look like the person Chu Liuchen said could do such a thing.

Is there some secret here?
