Could it be that the emperor knew about her private affairs?

But after thinking about it, she felt it was impossible.

If he really knew it, he wouldn't have asked Concubine Shu to send someone over to reprimand him.

Wanmei was relieved and breathed a sigh of relief.

…

Xiao Changyin stopped and walked along the way. Although he didn't waste time by visiting the mountains and rivers as much as he did when he came here, because the road was off-road, it took almost the same time to go out and come back.

Strangely, the carriage passed through the palace gate and stopped in front of the East Palace Gate.

Yun Zhao got off the carriage and rested for a while, but heard that the emperor had not returned yet.

She was stunned for a moment, thinking that something might have delayed her on the way, so she ignored her.

After all, she couldn't care less.

Yun Zhao went to the inner room to change his clothes, also changed Xiao Yandi's clothes, and then took him to Yongning Palace.

They hadn't seen each other for a long time, and the queen almost didn't recognize Xiao Yandi.

She waved her hand and touched Xiao Yandi's hair, "Sure enough, children are quick to see the wind. It's been a long time since we last seen each other, and they've grown up like this."

The queen chuckled lightly, with gentle eyes, "He is actually better off than his father."

When Yun Zhao heard this, he glanced at the man and felt that the queen was right.

How could Xiao Changyin not see the meaning in Yun Zhao's eyes? The look he looked at Xiao Yandi immediately was not even friendly.

"Speaking of which, you still don't know that His Majesty was assassinated when he was passing through Langshan. He was said to be someone related to the royal family of Chu State."

Yun Zhao was shocked, "Yes, really? It's just that when my father returned, he brought a lot of guards with him."

The queen's smile was quite meaningful, "Perhaps someone didn't pay attention and let the assassin break in. His Majesty was stabbed in the abdomen. He is being raised there now. He will not be able to come back in a short time."

Probably because she was worried about Yun Zhao's overthinking, the Queen coughed lightly and said, "Actually, it's not a serious problem. Doctor Chen is there, and the knife didn't penetrate deeply. You can start your journey again after a month."

Yun Zhao: "..."

She felt like she heard some very new words.

When the queen thought about what she was going to say next, she looked at Yun Zhao and couldn't help but feel indebted. She impatiently waved her hands to her son, telling him to stay away.

Xiao Changyin was silent and stood there motionless.

Yun Zhao rolled up his sleeves and walked to the queen in confusion.

The queen first lowered her head and said to Xiao Yandi, "The imperial grandmother has prepared a lot of things for Yiyi to play with, as well as Yiyi's favorite snacks prepared in the dining room. Do you want to go to the side hall?"

Xiao Yandi raised his head, put his hands on his chest, and bowed awkwardly, "My grandson will go right away."

The queen looked at Xiao Yandi's small figure with great reluctance, and only looked away when she was completely out of sight.

"After all, your father is being raised near Langshan. The other princes have already rushed there. It seems inappropriate that you are not there."

The Queen said this to Xiao Changyin.

No matter what the relationship between father and son is, there is still a filial piety to support them.

She hated that man and wished he would die soon, but she never wanted to let her son have any flaws.

A father can be unkind, but a son can never be unfilial.

Otherwise, just the literati in the world can make him unable to stay in Lanjing by criticizing him with words and writings.

Unless you give up your reputation forever.

Xiao Changyin: "My son and I know."

In fact, the queen was not worried about Xiao Changyin. She couldn't be more confident about this son, and now she just gave him a warning.

After speaking, she thought for a while and said to the two of them, "You go back, one by one, stay with me today."

Xiao Changyin didn't object and took the person with him and walked out.

Yun Zhao hurriedly stopped, and said to the queen, "My son, please leave."

When the queen saw this, her eyes rolled up and she couldn't stop laughing.

Aunt Feng also sighed with emotion, "His Highness has someone in his heart after all. He is completely different from before."

The queen nodded, "How could I see him like this before? It's very interesting."

Aunt Feng couldn't help but worry, "If Your Majesty comes back, I'm afraid that if you come back to your senses, you will have to insert people into the East Palace. Your Highness has never accepted it before, and it is even more impossible to accept it now."

The smile on the queen's face faded and she sneered, "Let's wait until he has the heart to think about this."

There is still a lot of things to do when we get back.

Not long after, someone from the palace reported at the door that it was Concubine Ping who came to pay her respects.

The queen raised her eyebrows, not expecting Concubine Ping to come over at all.

After all, these days when the emperor paid private visits incognito, she was exempted from paying greetings to the concubines, and she had not seen him once in several months.

Why is it here suddenly now?

The queen thought for a moment and said, "Let people come in."

Although she felt that it was definitely not a good thing for Concubine Ping to come over, she couldn't keep people out.

This is against the rules.

Concubine Ping approached, and the surprise in the queen's eyes did not diminish.

Concubine Ping looks very haggard these days.

The blue and black makeup under my eyes can't even be covered.

The queen was still thinking that although she didn't let the concubines come to pay their respects, she kept an eye on these people in private to avoid causing trouble.

But I haven't heard of anyone that Concubine Ping had a quarrel with and couldn't get over.

If not, why would she torment herself like this?

Concubine Ping paid her respects and sat on the stool brought by the palace servants. She didn't know what to say for a while.

She looked at the aloof queen and thought to herself that she had previously felt that pampering was the most important thing whether it was a concubine or a royal wife.

A main wife who is not favored is worse than a concubine.

But now she doesn't think so anymore. Even if she is no longer favored, the main wife is the main wife, who is above her.

Concubine Ping regretted extremely. She should have chosen a young and talented person in Lanjing at random.

With her status, the man who married her would not dare to marry another woman.

Regardless of whether there is true love between the two, they can still be regarded as a pair for life.

Like now, she is like a toy.

Concubine Ping took a deep breath and said, "Empress, my concubine learned that your majesty was seriously injured and was worried, so she wanted to go out of the palace to see him and take care of him."

The queen fell silent.

It's not that she doesn't want Concubine Ping to go there, it's just that the emperor has many concubines around him and he lacks people to serve him.

However, Concubine Ping's thoughts are rare.

If she doesn't respond, she might even be penalized.

The Queen then asked, "It's okay for you to go, but the Eighth Prince... what should we do?"

Concubine Ping also raised the eighth prince. It was precisely because she did everything herself in order to be close to the eighth prince that she was so tired.

"I have thought about it. I will ask your Majesty to take care of him for a while. When I come back with Your Majesty, I will come to your Majesty to take the Eighth Prince back."

Queen: "..."

Everything was arranged, so why didn't you just throw the child at her and leave the palace?

What's the point of coming to her?

The Queen held her forehead, and Nanny Feng said worriedly at the right time, "My Majesty has been having a headache recently, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to take care of the Eighth Prince."

Concubine Ping said: "The empress can only arrange for grandma to take care of her."
