Chapter 871 I Would Rather Bite My Tongue and Commit Suicide
The emperor stepped forward and helped Concubine Shu up, and then pulled Concubine Shu towards the top of the hall, but the queen lagged behind.
The queen's eyes darkened, and she followed the emperor and concubine slowly towards the main hall.
After the Emperor, Empress and Concubine Shu sat down, everyone sat down.
The hall was quiet, no one dared to speak.
Just at this time, the emperor saw that Xiao Tianyao, the pregnant king, was not present in the palace, and asked Concubine Shu with concern: "Where's Yao'er, why didn't you show up? Today is your birthday party, how can his son not attend?"
Concubine Shu stood up and said with a gentle smile: "He came to the palace early today, so I asked him to take a walk in the palace. He may have walked a little further, so he couldn't make it in time, but don't worry, Your Majesty, I'll let him go." Looking for him."
Concubine Shu chuckled after speaking, and the emperor frowned slightly, still a little unhappy.
The queen on one side felt her heart sink, as if something was going to happen today.
Why didn't King Huai stay at the palace banquet and go for a walk?
The queen glanced at an aunt beside her and asked her to find someone.
However, Concubine Shu looked at her and said: "Queen, please be more considerate. Yao'er must not have been late on purpose. He must have gone far away, so he is late."
Empress Jiang didn't want anyone to look for her anymore, but she always felt like something was wrong.
She raised her head and looked at Concubine Shu: "It's okay. Prince Huai has always been a person who knows the importance of things. I won't care about his occasional shortcomings, and I believe the emperor won't care about them either."
The queen said this, since the emperor couldn't say anything.
Just have to wait.
It's a bad thing that Concubine Shu's son hasn't arrived yet, so they can have a banquet first.
After a while, the maid sent by Concubine Shu rushed over.
As soon as he came in, he panted and said: "Mother, it's not good. I went to find someone and found the royal garden in the palace. From a distance, I saw a few people standing in front of me, like our prince's bodyguards. But the slave girl saw a few dark figures flashing, and rushed towards the direction of the prince. The slave girl was frightened to death, so she quickly came back to report."
As soon as the maid finished speaking, Concubine Shu's expression changed. She stood up anxiously and ran out anxiously: "Yao'er, Yao'er, will he be okay?"
Concubine Shu ran out desperately, and everyone in the hall behind her became nervous.
The emperor also looked worried and quickly stood up and walked out.
The queen behind her always felt that something was wrong, so she stretched out her hand to hold the emperor and said, "Concubine, please send someone to have a look. Your Highness, Prince Huai, will be fine."
But as soon as the queen spoke, the emperor glared at her in disgust.
Then he waved his hand and led the people directly out of the hall.
Behind her, Empress Jiang turned pale. She knew why the emperor glared at her. He didn't think she was deliberately blocking him.
The queen thought to herself, and quickly followed the old emperor out.
The ministers also got up and followed him out, as did the ladies from each family.
Not far from Concubine Shu's palace, a group of people heard the sound of fighting coming from the imperial garden.
The emperor's expression changed, and he quickly ordered: "Whoever comes, go and protect His Highness Prince Huai immediately."
Several guards walked away in a flash.
When the guards rushed over, they saw King Huai's men fighting with several men in black.
As soon as the men in black saw the palace guards arriving, they quickly retreated. However, two of the men in black were intercepted by the palace guards. However, when these two men saw that they were intercepted, they both bit their tongues and committed suicide.
