Chapter 251: Strange Woman
"My servants don't know that the Queen Mother suddenly fell into a coma. Aunt Liu invited the imperial doctor to see her, but nothing was found wrong." The eldest maid said anxiously, "The Queen Mother, please go over and have a look. The Queen Mother is okay.
Looking forward to seeing you."
Chu Wanxiang nodded: "Okay, I'll be there right away."
The two hurriedly arrived at Kunning Palace, and sure enough they saw the Queen Mother lying on the couch, her face pale and her eyes closed. Aunt Liu was standing by the couch, sweating profusely and looking panicked.
Chu Wanxiang stepped forward quickly and checked the Queen Mother's pulse. The pulse was weak and she had expired.
Aunt Liu cried and said, "Empress Dowager, you must hold on! Judge Chen and Dr. Zhao of the Imperial Hospital are helpless."
"Let me try." Chu Wanxiang held the Queen Mother's wrist.
"Concubine Chu!" The imperial doctor quickly stopped her, "The Queen Mother has suffered a stroke, and I'm afraid it cannot be cured!"
"Nonsense!" Chu Wanxiang shouted angrily, "Although the mother's condition is serious, there is absolutely no sign of a stroke!"
"The imperial doctor is right." Nanny Liu wiped her tears at the side, "The Queen Mother was fine just now. As soon as I heard that the Queen Mother was moving back, she fainted immediately."
Chu Mochen said: "Sister-in-law, please don't worry about my mother's affairs. Go and freshen up first."
Chu Wanxiang nodded and stabbed the Queen Mother's Baihui point with a silver needle. The Queen Mother groaned and woke up leisurely.
"Queen Mother!" Chu Wanxiang was ecstatic and hurriedly helped her up and sat on the pillow.
The Queen Mother gasped: "Your Majesty, you are finally back."
"My concubine is back, and my mother is worried about her." Chu Wanxiang's eyes were red, "My concubine is unfilial, and I have made you worry."
"It'll be good to come back, it'll be good to come back." The Queen Mother patted her hand with a gentle and kind tone.
Chu Mochen sat on the chair in front of the couch: "Mother, what happened to you today?"
The Queen Mother looked at him: "Your Majesty, the Ai family had a dream today. They dreamed about what happened back then. They dreamed that your father was mistakenly killed by an assassin in order to save the Ai family..."
Chu Mochen frowned tightly.
"Your Majesty," said Mammy Liu, wiping her tears, "I also heard from people that the Queen Mother went to Jinghe Palace today and saw Concubine Shu bullying Concubine Chu and calling Concubine Chu a vixen. The Queen Mother had a fit after hearing this.
, Concubine Shu knelt down and kowtowed to admit her mistake. The Queen Mother said she would punish Concubine Shu, but she fainted."
"Nonsense!" Chu Mochen shouted angrily, "I have clearly told you that Concubine Shu is my beloved concubine. Anyone who dares to touch a hair on her face will be punished by the Nine Tribes!"
Aunt Liu was so frightened that she fell silent.
Chu Wanxiang held the Queen Mother's trembling hand and comforted her: "Mother, don't worry, I will help you find the murderer and avenge the emperor's brother."
The Queen Mother nodded: "Okay, Aijia believes in you."
Chu Wanxiang called several palace maids to come over to serve him, and he went to the side hall to freshen up. Chu Mochen stayed in front of the bed to accompany the queen mother, and watched as Nanny Liu brought the medicine over and fed the queen mother to take it. Chu Mochen watched the queen mother sleep.
When he was done, he let out a long sigh and walked out of the dormitory.
Chu Wanxiang happened to walk out of the side hall, saw him, and smiled slightly: "Brother Emperor."
Chu Mochen said: "Why don't you rest in the side hall?"
"I'm waiting for Brother Huang." Chu Wanxiang came over and took his arm, "Let's go to the imperial study room to talk."
Chu Mochen nodded, went to the imperial study room with her, and stood back.
"What do you want to say to me?" Chu Mohan raised his eyes and looked at his sister.
Chu Wanxiang considered his words: "Brother, you should know very well that before my father passed away, he sent an order to you, asking you to assist the prince in supervising the country. Now..."
Chu Mochen shook his head and remained silent.
"Brother Emperor, you have worked hard for the throne these years and have achieved great results." Chu Wanxiang said, "The prince is young and needs the care of the brother. Moreover, the brother has been on the throne for a long time, so he should also think about the country and the country."
Chu Mochen frowned: "What do you mean?"
"I want the emperor to become the emperor." Chu Wanxiang whispered, "I will assist the emperor's son to inherit the throne."
"Nonsense!" Chu Mochen said sternly, "How dare you say such nonsense!"
"I'm not talking nonsense, I'm serious." Chu Wanxiang said, "Brother, you don't have to be surprised. I know you don't want to because you don't want me to work hard. But the emperor is a monarch and is responsible for the rise and fall of the country. You can no longer be willful.
Already."
Chu Mochen snorted coldly: "Am I willful? I am doing this for Great Qin!"
"I know, but you are the monarch, and every move you make represents the Qin Dynasty and the people of Li. You cannot act arbitrarily. What's more, you have been on the throne for nearly five years and have great power. You should no longer be kind to a woman.
"
Chu Mohan frowned: "Royal sister, do you understand what I mean? I don't care about that dragon chair. I just want to protect the country, the country, the people I love, and the country I love."
"Brother Emperor, I understand your wish very well. I also hope that our family of three will be reunited and be happy. But..." Chu Wanxiang bit her lip and her cheeks turned red. "My father once said before he died that if I have a child,
I will appoint my eldest son as my heir. If I can’t bear a child, you will be the one to establish me. I have to abide by my father’s last wish.”
Chu Mochen was stunned: "My father actually said these words before he died."
"Yes, so the father's will cannot be disobeyed." Chu Wanxiang sighed quietly, "So, brother, please be patient for a while."
"You..." Chu Mochen looked at her belly, feeling complicated but speechless.
Chu Wanxiang patted his back in a comforting manner: "Brother, you don't have to think too much. This child is not yours. The child and I are fine. Brother, please relax."
Chu Mochen felt sad: "We have been looking for my father's itinerary before he disappeared, but unfortunately there is no news at all."
"We have tried our best." Chu Wanxiang said, "Brother, don't forget your promise to me. No matter when my child is born, you will make him a prince and help him ascend the throne."
Chu Mochen lowered his eyes: "Okay."
The two talked for a while in the imperial study and finally reached an agreement. Chu Mochen abdicated the throne to Chu Wanxiang's eldest son, who would only serve as regent and enjoy wealth and honor forever.
When Chu Wanxiang left, Chu Mochen suddenly said: "Concubine Shu is not feeling well, please take her back to the palace for me."
Chu Wanxiang nodded in agreement, took a few maids, and took a carriage back to the East Palace. As soon as he arrived at the palace gate, he saw Concubine Shu sitting at the palace gate.
"Join the queen." She stood up and prostrated herself.
"Sister Concubine Shu, there is no need to be polite." Chu Wanxiang said lightly, "Why is my sister here?"
"I heard that the emperor summoned the virtuous concubine and the virtuous concubine, and I would like to ask the empress to give me some advice."
Chu Wanxiang said: "How can I know how to govern a country?"
"The Empress is so humble." Concubine Shu said with a slight smile, "The Empress is both talented and beautiful, intelligent and kind-hearted. She is a rare and wonderful woman. We can't even envy her."
Chu Wanxiang nodded slightly: "I really have nothing to teach my sister. Since my sister needs something from me, I can do my best."
