Chapter 137 Clean up
"I have thanked the emperor for your kindness, but..." Chu Wanxiang hesitated and stopped talking.
When the emperor saw this, he asked: "Queen, are you encountering any difficulties?"
Chu Wanxiang pursed her lips and said hesitantly: "I don't want to marry the emperor anymore."
"Huh? Why?" the emperor asked.
"I married the emperor's brother in the first place because I had no choice but to consolidate the imperial power. Now that the emperor's brother is dead, I don't want to marry again."
The emperor pondered for a moment and said: "I will give you a marriage proposal and let you marry into the royal family in a glorious way. Don't say anything about getting married. Don't worry, I will treat the child in your belly well and treat him as a child."
It’s like coming out of one’s own self.”
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Chu Wanxiang knelt down and kowtowed three times.
Mrs. Lin said: "Queen, since you insist on refusing, then the Queen is definitely not qualified to sit on this post."
"You want the position of queen?" Chu Mohan raised his eyebrows and said, "Does the queen want to depose me as queen?"
"Don't misinterpret my words." Mrs. Lin said sternly, "I said that you are not allowed to marry the queen again. There are only two queens, one is me and the other is Mengdie. Mengdie is already pregnant with the emperor's heir.
, she is the only suitable candidate for the post."
Chu Mo laughed coldly: "Mengdie is pregnant? The queen really dares to say so."
"This..." Mrs. Lin was at a loss for words, "What do I say? It's not your turn to comment!"
"I don't bother to argue with you." Chu Mo coldly said, pulling Chu Wanxiang to stand up, "The queen is tired, it's time to go back to Fengluan Hall to rest."
Chu Wanxiang looked at Jiang Qiyun: "Qiyun, you and the imperial doctor accompany the emperor into the palace."
"I obey the decree." Jiang Qiyun saluted, "I respectfully wish that the emperor will ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor as soon as possible. I and all the doctors at the Imperial Hospital will do their best to help the emperor fulfill his long-cherished wish."
When Mrs. Lin saw Jiang Qiyun helping the emperor to leave, she hurriedly caught up and said, "The emperor is staying! You haven't agreed to my conditions yet."
"I have made it very clear." Chu Mohan turned around and faced Mrs. Lin and said, "Mother, you don't have to worry about it anymore."
Mrs. Lin glared at him: "Are you going to disobey me? Go back to the East Palace now. I tell you, I won't allow it!"
Chu Mohan said expressionlessly: "This imperial city belongs to me, and my mother has nothing to do with it. If my mother wants to force me to do anything, I'm afraid it won't work. If my mother wants the Lin Mansion to lose, try to see if she can stop me."
." After that, he took Chu Wanxiang and walked away.
Mrs. Lin was so angry that she was shaking all over, "Evil! Evil!"
"Concubine, please don't be sad." Lin Mengdie comforted her, "He is just stubborn! The emperor will definitely be mad at him this time."
Mrs. Lin took a breath and asked her nanny to help her go to the side hall to rest, "I am tired and need to rest for a while. Your Majesty, please leave her alone for the time being."
"yes."
"And that bitch, please deal with it," Mrs. Lin said.
Lin Mengdie's face changed slightly and she responded in a low voice: "I understand."
After Chu Wanxiang was sent back to the palace, Chu Mohan ordered all the palace residents to be grounded. He stayed alone in the palace for a whole day. When he had dinner in the evening, he still looked gloomy, along with the chrysanthemums in the imperial garden.
They all lost their color. Chu Wanxiang looked in his eyes and felt anxious in his heart.
During dinner, she came over with a soup cup and said, "Your Majesty, please have a bowl of chicken soup to replenish your health."
"Yeah." Chu Mohan took the soup cup and took a sip, then frowned and put it down.
Seeing his expression, Chu Wanxiang said, "Why is the emperor feeling uncomfortable? Do you need to ask for an imperial doctor?"
Chu Mohan raised his head, looked at Chu Wanxiang and said, "I have no appetite."
Chu Wanxiang said: "Your Majesty, you can eat some even if you are not hungry. I made the chicken soup specially for you."
Chu Mohan stared at her for a few seconds, stretched out his hand to touch her cheek, and said softly: "Xiangxiang, I am very grateful for your concern. I know that you admire me, otherwise you would not treat me like this.
Take good care of you. Although I love you, I have never thought of taking you as my queen. Don’t think too much. I have a lot of things to do recently. You
Just stay in Fengluan Hall, and I will take time to come and see you every day."
Chu Wanxiang bowed his head and responded: "I, my concubine, will obey the holy edict."
Chu Mohan nodded, got up and walked to the inner hall. Chu Wanxiang followed him back to the dormitory, waiting for him to undress and wash up.
Lying on the bed, she snuggled into his arms and said softly: "Are you tired, Your Majesty? Do you want me to rub your shoulders for you?"
"No need." Chu Mohan patted her back, "I'll take a nap, and you should rest early."
"oh."
After a while, she heard Chu Mohan's even and long breathing. How could he fall asleep so quickly? Chu Wanxiang sighed softly, closed his eyes and fell asleep.
When Chu Wanxiang woke up the next morning, the bed beside him was already cold. Chu Mohan didn't sleep on this bed at all last night, and Chu Wanxiang was extremely disappointed.
Just as she was preparing to go to Fengluan Palace to serve him in dressing up and changing clothes, Mrs. Lin suddenly sent someone to find her: "Empress, the Queen Mother declares that you will go to Cining Palace immediately to discuss important matters."
Chu Wanxiang frowned. Mrs. Lin told her to go to Cining Palace early in the morning, which would definitely be up to no good.
She changed her clothes and hurried to Cining Palace. As expected, Mrs. Lin was not in the palace, and the Queen Mother was sitting on the throne. She glanced at the seat next to her, but did not sit down.
The Queen Mother glanced at her and snorted coldly, showing disgust: "I have summoned you, why don't you go down and pay homage to the Ai family?"
Chu Wanxiang said calmly: "The queen mother once taught Wan Xiang the rules, but she never said anything like this. Besides, the emperor did not give Wan Xiang a greeting card, so Wan Xiang did not dare to make mistakes rashly."
"The emperor is the king of the world. Who dares to disobey what he says?" the Queen Mother sneered.
Chu Wanxiang said: "Mother, since you know that my father is the king of the world, how can you arbitrarily discuss my father's will? My father is the emperor, how can I slander him at will?"
The Queen Mother said coldly: "The queen is really sharp-tongued! When I talk to you, it is not your turn to interrupt! I came to you today to warn you that you are the queen I married. Don't rely on the emperor to treat you."
You are so favored that you forget about it. You don’t understand the rules so much, no wonder the emperor doesn’t like you.”
Chu Wanxiang said calmly: "I understand. Does the Queen Mother have any other instructions? If not, I will leave first."
"Wait a minute." Mrs. Lin said, "Queen, as the queen, you are in charge of the Sixth Palace. Not only did you fail to do what the emperor asked you to do, but you also asked Lin Mengdie to replace Concubine Lin. Lin Mengdie was a concubine, and she should have been the concubine.
The queen personally selected beautiful girls to live in Yuqing Palace, but now the queen has stuffed Lin Mengdie into Fengqi Palace. What are your intentions? Do you want to kill Mengdie!"
Lin Mengdie was stunned: "Aunt, my concubine..."
"Stop talking, listen to the Aijia's lecture to the queen." Mrs. Lin glared at Lin Mengdie, "You are not living up to expectations!"
