Chapter 319: Take You Home to Visit Your Parents

"Chu Xuanyi, what are you doing?" The queen looked at the imperial army that suddenly surrounded Changchun Palace and shouted sternly, "This is so presumptuous!"

"Please forgive me, the Queen." Chu Xuanyi bowed and saluted, his tone was neither humble nor overbearing, "The Emperor has an edict. The Queen is suspected of regicide. From today onwards, the Queen will stay in Changchun Palace and is not allowed to go out. Please cooperate with the Queen."

Suspected of regicide?

The queen's face changed drastically: "That's nonsense!"

She hadn't even had time to implement her plan, so how could she be suspected of regicide?

This bloody and slanderous king!

"I am also acting according to the order." Chu Xuanyi said in a calm tone. After speaking, he raised his hand and ordered, "Guard here, no one is allowed to come or go."

"yes!"

The queen was shocked and angry: "Chu Xuanyi, how dare you?!"

Chu Xuanyi really dared.

The confession was only based on the etiquette of the emperor and his ministers, but he knew well the purpose of the emperor's confinement of the queen, and he also knew that the country of Xi Qi was already in the eldest princess's pocket. The higher the others jumped, the faster they would die.

No matter it is Chu Tiankuo, Chu Tianyin, or Chu Tianling who is secretly planning and waiting for the opportunity, there is no room for struggle anymore.

Chu Xuanyi arranged the guards of Changchun Palace, and when he turned to leave, he couldn't help but look at the sky.

He has always been a calm and rational person, but now he has to believe that the eldest princess may really be a person blessed by the gods. Which of the queen mothers, queens, noble concubines, and concubines Duan, among the powerful women in the harem, is the most economical lamp? The three princes Chu Tianling, Chu Tiankuo, and Chu Tianyin all had strong backing. They had been planning for so many years, but in the end they all lost to the eldest princess who was least likely to compete for the throne.

Chu Xuanyi was once again grateful for his decision that night.

The decree was conveyed to Concubine Xian. Concubine Xian, who had already taken off her clothes and makeup, seemed to have heard a fantasy: "What?"

Chen Hai respectfully repeated: "The Emperor is ill and has ordered Concubine Xian to attend to his illness."

Concubine Xian sat blankly on the mahogany stool in front of the dressing table, and couldn't help but think that the emperor really had some ulterior motives.

Let yourself serve the sick?

Serve a ghost.

When you were young, you didn't dote on her, but now you think of her when you're not feeling well?

"Concubine Xian?"

Concubine Xian frowned: "Why urge? Let me think about it."

Chen Haiyi Jing, think about it?

Do you still want to think about it?

Is the emperor so ungraceful?

"Eunuch Chen, let me ask you." Concubine Xian turned around and decided to ask straight to the point, "What is the emperor planning?"

Chen Hai was shocked: "Empress—"

"Don't say you don't know."

"Concubine Xian, you'd better go ask the emperor." Chen Hai said with a smile, "I don't dare to speculate on the holy will."

Nonsense.

Don’t you dare to speculate on the holy will?

The most favored grand duke around the emperor needs to speculate on the holy will?

He was afraid that he would know exactly what the emperor was thinking.

Concubine Xian frowned, always feeling that it was not a good thing for the emperor to ask her to serve at this time, but then she thought about it, she neither participated in the harem fights, nor did she have any sons competing for the heir apparent, and she never instigated anyone to fight against anyone in the court. Even on the matter of Chu Qinghuang being established as the crown prince, she did not express any opinions - anyway, her opinions had no effect and could be ignored.

Therefore, the emperor would not be suspicious or dissatisfied with her.

Thinking of this, Concubine Xian suddenly felt at ease.

After ordering someone to bring a coat and put it on, Concubine Xian stood up and said calmly: "Let's go."

Chen Hai hesitated: "Is this how Concubine Xian will go?"

"How else can we go if we don't go like this?" Concubine Xian looked at herself in the mirror. She had taken off all her hairpin jewelry, her hair was scattered, and her makeup had been removed. Her bare face was indeed not as radiant as during the day, "The sky has turned dark. It’s late, I can’t possibly dress up in all my glory to attend to illness.”

Chen Hai was right when he thought about it.

He was used to the way these concubines looked bright and beautiful in front of the emperor, but he ignored the special situation at the moment.

"Concubine Xian, please."

Concubine Xian walked out.

Arriving at Yuqian Palace in a sedan chair and walking into the inner hall, Concubine Xian was startled when she saw the emperor half-leaning in front of the couch approving gifts.

The situation in front of her was different from what she had imagined.

Didn't you say that you were waiting for the sick?

She thought the emperor should be lying weakly on the bed, waiting for her to bring him tea and medicine...

"Concubine Xian is here?" The emperor looked up and saw her, smiled and waved to her, his tone was extremely kind, "Come here, sharpen the ink for me."

Grinding ink?

Concubine Xian murmured in her heart, and she respectfully agreed, walked to the desk, knelt down on the futon, and said, "Didn't the Emperor ask my concubine to come here to attend to your illness?"

"I am indeed a little unhappy." The emperor's eyes fell on the opened folder and his voice was calm, "But mainly I want to talk to you."

Concubine Xian's expression was subtle: "The emperor and my concubine had never been romantically involved when they were young. Now that they are over fifty, why do they think of their tender love?"

"Over fifty?" His Majesty the Emperor frowned, "I am thirty-something this year, and Concubine Xian is only in her thirties. It is the time when all kinds of charm and charm are still there."

Concubine Xian's mouth twitched, is this the point?

The emperor obviously didn't think this was the important point, and quickly asked: "Is Concubine Xian's natal family in Yuncheng?"

"yes."

"I've been in the palace for so many years, and I haven't gone back to get married."

"No."

When a woman enters the palace, she has no control over everything. The most favored concubine can only go home once every few years, let alone the one who is not favored?

Empress Xian lowered her eyebrows. She hadn't seen her family for more than ten years. She felt melancholy. Her nephews and nieces were almost adults. She didn't know what their family was like now.

"I have been feeling unwell recently. I want Qinghuang to be the regent." His Majesty the Emperor said to himself, "Wait until Xiqi settles down. Can I accompany you back to Yuncheng?"

Empress Xian was stunned and raised her head slowly: "What did the emperor say?"

"Wait until Qinghuang is established as the crown prince. Let her be the regent. I will accompany you to Yuncheng." The emperor's tone was very serious. It was obvious that he was not joking with her. "After returning to Yuncheng, go somewhere else to see the beautiful scenery of Xiqi."

Empress Xian was strangely silent. The more she listened, the more she felt that something was wrong.

What exactly does the emperor want to do?

How can the king of a country leave the palace at will? Isn't he afraid of being assassinated on the road and dying?

The queen and several concubines in the palace, including his son, were probably all resentful and dissatisfied with him because of the issue of the crown prince. He actually wanted to leave the palace at this time?

"Empress Xian." Seeing her silence, the emperor raised his eyebrows, "Why don't you say anything? Too surprised?"

Surprise, fart.

Concubine Xian looked at him calmly: "It is not safe for a king to leave the palace. If the emperor wants me to go home to visit my parents, I can go back by myself. Please arrange more people for me. I will never embarrass you, bring discredit to the royal family, or do anything I shouldn't do-"

"Concubine Xian." The emperor suddenly interrupted her and coughed lightly, "It is I who want to leave the palace and take you home to visit your parents."

Concubine Xian: "..."
