Su Ranhua returned to Jinhuayuan, and Ximen Hao had already left.

At this moment, an imperial edict came from Jinhua Garden. Su Ranhua quietly hid aside and paid attention to the movement.

The imperial edict requires Bai Zhanfeng to go to the Zhaohe Hall to meet the emperor. The Zhaohe Hall is the place where the emperor and courtiers discuss matters. Unless it is to meet with foreign ministers or hold a major banquet, the queen is not allowed to go there casually.

Bai Zhanfeng didn't know what happened that made the emperor issue such an imperial edict to her. If something happened, why didn't you meet him in Jinyang Palace?

Coupled with Ximen Hao's previous explanation, Bai Zhanfeng knelt on the ground not knowing what to do. However, Chuntao stood up first, walked towards the father-in-law who announced the decree, took the imperial edict for Bai Zhanfeng, and said politely, "Thank you, Eunuch Liu.

, the empress will go over after tidying up."

"Miss Chuntao, didn't you hear the emperor's intention to go to the Zhaohe Hall immediately to see the saint?" Liu Gonggong said.

"Eunuch Liu? What kind of tone are you talking about?" Chuntao looked serious, "Although the emperor summoned the empress, this is also their husband and wife's business. Doesn't the emperor allow the empress to clean up her appearance? After all, she has to go to the Showa Palace to meet the crowd.

Your Majesty, you must behave appropriately? Otherwise, wouldn’t you lose the Emperor’s face?”

"Yes, I'm going to freshen up right away. If you please, Eunuch Liu, go ahead." Bai Zhanfeng followed Chuntao's words.

Seeing the hesitation on Eunuch Liu's face, Chuntao added, "The matter is sudden. If the queen had received the news before, she would have been well prepared. The emperor will definitely understand this. If she is summoned immediately, the queen can act quickly, and there will be no delay."

"It's not that we can't delay anything, but the matter is indeed very urgent." Liu Gonggong said.

Seeing Eunuch Liu's hesitant appearance, Bai Zhanfeng asked strangely, "Why is the emperor so anxious to summon me?"

"This..." Eunuch Liu hesitated. Before announcing the decree, the emperor told him not to say anything to the queen. But if the queen went to the Zhaohe Palace, wouldn't the sudden shock be even more sudden? But he also understood what the emperor meant, because he was afraid

The queen knew the truth and fell to the ground before leaving the gate of Jinhuayuan. So what else could she do?

"Eunuch Liu, please tell me what happened?" Chuntao slowed down her tone and begged, "The incident in Yunxiaoyuan has made people panic. If there is another accident, let me be prepared."

"Eunuch Liu, I treat you well, and I don't ask you to do anything. I just want to have some confidence in my heart. Can't I say even one sentence?" Bai Zhanfeng also knows that the tone of the formula is to soften the tone.

of.

"Your Majesty," Eunuch Liu said. In addition to being embarrassed, he was also a little intolerable.

"Eunuch Liu, has something happened to King Bei?" Chuntao blinked and asked suddenly.

Empress Bai Zhanfeng finally realized what Chuntao meant. When Ximen Hao was in Jinhuayuan, he clearly mentioned that someone found his body outside the palace. Could it be that the emperor wanted to see her because of this?

Eunuch Liu didn't expect Chuntao to ask this question suddenly. He was stunned and gave Chuntao the answer, knowing that he had guessed it right.

"Is it true that something happened to King Bei?" Chuntao said and glanced at Bai Zhanfeng.

Bai Zhanfeng didn't show much nervousness because she knew Ximen Hao was safe.

"Eunuch Liu, please speak quickly!" Chuntao stepped forward and blocked Bai Zhanfeng's sight.

Eunuch Liu sighed and nodded slowly, "To be honest with you, the prince's body has been transported to the Showa Palace and is waiting for you to identify it together."

"Corpse? Prince——" Chuntao suddenly turned around and looked at Bai Zhanfeng.

Bai Zhanfeng looked like a lump on an elm tree, but still didn't have much reaction.

There was a smile on her face. She wanted to tell the emperor right away, don't worry, their son is doing very well!

Su Ranhua, who was hiding in the dark, called Bai Zhanfeng a fool and wanted to punch her unconscious.

Just when Su Ranhua broke a flower branch nearby and was about to throw it at Bai Zhanfeng's head, Chuntao put her palms on Bai Zhanfeng's shoulders at the right moment, shook her violently, and shouted nervously, "Empress, Empress

, what’s wrong with you?”

Bai Zhanfeng was shaken by Chuntao's sudden move. She was about to yell, but she saw Chuntao facing her, winking at her. Then she remembered what Ximen Hao had said before, and followed what Chuntao wanted to express, and closed her eyes.

eyes.

"Eunuch Liu, your Majesty has fainted. Report it to the Emperor quickly!" Chuntao said, holding Bai Zhanfeng up and calling loudly, "Come quickly, help your Majesty back to the room. Xiao Lizi, hurry up and inform the Imperial Doctor!"

Eunuch Liu looked at the sudden chaos in Jinhuayuan and shook his head helplessly. It was expected that the queen would faint from fright.

After watching Eunuch Liu leave, Chuntao closed the door of Jinhua Garden tightly and said to the palace servants in the garden, "If anyone leaks the news, be careful that the prince will cut your tongue, you know?"

Everyone in the palace nodded in panic. After working in the palace for many years, people who don't want to cause trouble naturally know how to turn a deaf ear.

"What's going on? Chuntao," Bai Zhanfeng "awoke" and asked puzzledly, "What on earth are their father and son doing?"

"Your Majesty," Chuntao smiled and said, "The world must be reserved for young people. You can't be attached to the emperor for the rest of your life. Since the King of the North has given an explanation, I think you should listen to him. What do you think?"

Bai Zhanfeng nodded thoughtfully. Indeed, her husband did not belong to her alone, but her son was born to her. Even if Ximen Hao owns the Three Palaces and Sixth Courtyard in the future, in a sense, he still

It belongs to her alone.

Seeing that Jinhuayuan was temporarily quiet, Su Ranhua also breathed a sigh of relief. Thanks to Chuntao's quick reaction, if Bai Zhanfeng was allowed to go to Zhaohe Hall, or if there were any clues, he didn't know what kind of trouble he would cause. It seemed that he would cause trouble.

At this time, it was a wise move for Ximen Hao to recognize Chuntao's identity. With Chuntao as a smart chess piece, and with her watching over Bai Zhanfeng, things would go much smoother.

The pigeons flew back to Jinhua Garden.

Chuntao and Bai Zhanfeng looked out curiously when Su Ranhua stepped forward and grabbed the pigeon in his palm.

It was Qiao Dazhu who sent the news. Several people had already sneaked into the palace along the waterway Su Ranhua told them about, waiting for orders.

"Why are you here again?" Bai Zhanfeng strode out of the house and stared at Su Ranhua.

"This bird is familiar with your Majesty's place, so I came here to receive news." Su Ranhua released the pigeons and glanced at Bai Zhanfeng, "It's just that my Majesty has already fainted, so it's better to go back to the house and wait for the arrival of the imperial doctor. Don't give me any news."

Something went wrong and ruined King Bei's good deeds."

"What exactly do you want to do?" Bai Zhanfeng was very curious.
