Changle received the news about Taoyao Palace, and the teacup in her hand was immediately unable to hold it. Her fingers trembled slightly, and even her expression was a little distorted. "You said just now... the emperor suddenly fainted... what does it mean..."

Yixiang nodded respectfully and stood aside and whispered, "It was something that happened in the Empress Palace. The emperor was already unconscious for half a night and had just handed over the news, saying that he had just woken up."

Changle's eyes were filled with red blood, and he looked at Yixiang with a hoarse voice, "Do you know, why did the emperor suddenly faint?"

Yixiang thought for a moment, but was filled with sadness, "I just heard from the imperial physician that the emperor had a lung infection..."

"What..." Changle was shocked when he heard this and couldn't speak tremblingly.

Seeing this, Yixiang quickly advised, "My lady, don't be anxious, it's not a big deal. The imperial physician said that careful conditioning will bring recovery."

Changle's eyebrows frowned and then frowned, and suddenly pursed his lips and said in a deep voice, "The lungs are a serious illness and should not be underestimated. In the past, my brother was also in the lungs. He invited the imperial doctor in the palace to see him. He said that nothing happened, he took the medicine on time and was careful to condition it carefully, but unfortunately it was useless in the end."

When Yixiang heard this, her face changed, "Empress, this..."

Changle's eyes were like a deep abyss, making people unable to see her true expression. She pondered and suddenly said, "If the emperor suddenly dies, Yun Heng of this palace is still young, how can he inherit the great cause? The eldest prince is only twelve years old and does not have the support of his mother's family. If the emperor does not establish a crown prince, it is difficult to ascend the throne, so there is only... King Jiangling..."

Yixiang was so scared that her whole body trembled, and she immediately said, "You can't say that, the emperor is the emperor, and the Buddha will protect you, and you will be safe and sound."

Changle angrily glanced at her with dissatisfaction, and his voice was stern, "What are you calling? I just mentioned it, you are already like this, what do you think?"

Yixiang nodded immediately, "Stop the anger, I didn't mean it."

Changle frowned and thought for a while before speaking, "Go, go to Taoyao Palace, help me watch, come back immediately if you have any news."

Yixiang didn't dare to hesitate, so she had to answer respectfully, "Yes."

When Cheng Dehai came to pass the message in Ronghua Palace, Zhong Yuxiu couldn't sit still for a moment and hurriedly wanted to go to Mingde Palace.

As soon as Yuxiu walked to the corridor, she suddenly saw a moon-white figure standing not far away.

Chu Ying stood alone, frowned, staring straight into the hall, with deep thoughts hiding in his eyes.

Yuxiu's heart moved and suddenly slowed down. She walked forward silently, deliberately amplified a little and said, "Oh, this Empress, I have a deep affection for the emperor..."

Speaking of this, Yuxiu looked at Chu Ying intentionally, and seeing his face gradually turned pale, he couldn't help but sneer, "It's said that the emperor and the empress have deep affection. I looked at it. Although I was unhappy, it was indeed the case. Who said that she was the queen and the emperor's wife? I couldn't compare with me. I don't have that blessing, and I can only wait until the emperor wakes up before I can take a look. Although the empress is usually cold to the emperor, this incident is more anxious than anyone else..."

Chu Ying couldn't bear it anymore and finally said coldly, "The emperor just woke up, and Concubine Shu was still saying such sarcastic words here, which is too mean."

"Oh, it turns out that the prince is here too." Yuxiu's eyes fell suddenly and said politely, "What I said is the truth. The Empress is the same as us, but she is just worried about the emperor."

As he was talking, He Sheng suddenly came out and beat Zhong Yuxiu Qian'er and said, "Empress Shu, the emperor has summoned you in."

Yuxiu was happy when she heard this, straightened the golden hairpin on her temples, held a smile and said, "Then I will go in and see the emperor first."

After saying that, she helped Jiangxin, sneered coldly, and walked away from Chu Ying.

After entering the hall, Yuxiu was about to act coquettishly and headed to the emperor when he suddenly saw Chen Chang'an walking out of the inner hall. He was shocked and said with great blessing, "I wish you a blessing to the Empress."

"Sit." There was a look of Ning He on Chang'an's face, and he sat sideways beside Chu Luo.

Yu Xiu was stunned and stood there, not knowing where to sit. After a while, a trace of tears suddenly flashed in the corner of her eyes. She went forward to grab the emperor's hand and said whimperingly, "Your Majesty, you are so scared that I am so scared. How is it now? Is there anything else?"

"I'm fine." Chu Luo's tone was extremely light, and his face was so indifferent that there was no expression.

Yuxiu's heart twitched when she heard this. She raised her head and faced Chang'an's cold gaze. A complicated look flashed across her face. She quickly stood up and said, "Since the emperor is fine, I'll feel relieved."

Chang'an lowered his eyes slightly, but his tone was extremely gentle, "Then Concubine Shu will go back to the palace first."

Yuxiu gritted his teeth secretly and a word burst out, "Yes."

Chang'an looked at Zhong Yuxiu's departure back. As soon as he looked back, he met Chu Luo's gaze. The two of them looked at each other and smiled at each other.

At night, Chang'an came out of Mingde Palace and just walked down the steps and saw Chu Ying at a glance.

Chang'an's heart was thundering. He wanted to pretend to ignore him and go around him, but he heard a call behind him, "Empress."

Queen.

It was a long time since she heard Chu Ying call her like this. In those days when he was with each other, he always called her name, Chang'an. Such an unfamiliar name seemed to be back to when they were not familiar with many years ago. At that time, she was not the queen, so he called her "Empress of the Imperial Concubine".

Chang'an's eyes stagnated, and she looked at him. Chu Ying's eyebrows and eyes were pure and restrained, and the curve of the corners of his lips was so cold that it made people feel desolate. Chang'an felt soft and couldn't help but say, "Prince."

Chu Ying smiled slightly, with a dark light shining in his eyes, and a little feeling suddenly appeared in his tone, "I'll go see the emperor."

"Okay." She responded gently, but wherever Yu Guang reached was his sad and tired face.

Finally, after a word of words, he slowly left her side.

At this moment, Chang'an suddenly felt that he had let Chu Ying down.

But she did nothing wrong. From beginning to end, the person she loved was Chu Luo all the time.

At this moment, Chang'an looked at Chu Ying's back, tears fell from the corners of his eyes.

After so many years, she and Chu Luo are actually the same people. They keep their heavy memories and try to find a way forward from the beauty of the past.

They all ignored a little.

Chen Changle was never Shen Chang'an, and Chu Ying was never Chu Luo.

Flowers bloom whenever they are, and people are no longer young.

Chu Luo's body was completely restored in December of the fifteenth year of Yongchang. As the beginning of the year approached, there were more things in the palace. During these days, the relationship between Chang'an and Chu Luo had been slightly calmer. When they got along, they really felt like they were respectful and the zither was harmonious. Chen Zhaorong from Xiangyi Palace had just given birth and could not serve the bed, and because of the emperor's illness, he was gradually neglected. The harem had temporarily returned to peace.

After New Year's Eve, another good news came from the palace - Concubine De Zhou Ruohua was happy.

Concubine De was happy again, and Chang'an did not feel strange. She has always been plain and does not fight or rob, which is different from those of the sensational women in the harem who are fighting openly and secretly, so she has more favors than others.

Compared to those young and beautiful women in the palace, Zhou Ruohua is already 31 years old and is no longer young. She is pregnant again and accidentally raised the idea of ​​the older generation of concubines in the palace competing for favor. Han Yan and Wan Xiang often mentioned it in Chang'an's ears, asking her to carefully regulate her body and prepare for another child. Whenever she heard these, Chang'an just smiled slightly and did not realize it.

Her body has never been very good. Now she is thirty-four years old and it is not easy to get pregnant again. Moreover, since Yun Jing passed away, her mood suddenly became calm. She only guarded Yun Ke, watching him grow up day by day, learning to ride a horse and play swords, as if she should be content in her life.

In these things, Chen Chang'an is very similar to **Yan. Nanyan has never had favor for half her life, but she has taken a lot of disregard for these things. When Chang'an first met **Yan, she was not like this now. Because of her humble background, she endured humiliation and fought for everything. But since Zihan was born, she has changed a lot. In the past few years, she often walked around the palace in Chang'an, but these years have passed, Zihan, as the emperor's eldest daughter, has turned sixteen this year. Logically, she has reached the age of marriage. But Nanyan only has Zihan, a daughter like Zihan, and the emperor will inevitably keep Zihan by Nanyan's side with her old love.

However, such stability is only temporary in this harem where people's hearts are floating.

After spring began, Changxuan followed Zhu Zheng to the palace to pay homage to Chang'an.

Chang'an hasn't seen Changxuan for many days. Her face is more rosy and her figure is plump. Before Chang'an could speak, Changxuan was already down and said, "I would like to pay my respects to the Empress."

Chang'an smiled like a smile, and hurriedly asked Wanxiang to help her up. He said warmly, "All of them are their own sisters, so there is no need to be too polite."

Changxuan smiled gently, walked forward gently, held Chang'an's hand, and said warmly, "Sister Chang, I'm here today to bring you good news."

Chang'an smiled slightly, "What?"

Changxuan gently slapped his palm twice, and then a handsome man walked in, bowed and knelt down and said, "Secretary Xu Zhiyuan pays homage to the Queen."

Changan was slightly stunned, smiled and said, "This is..."

"This is the husband's family chosen for Aunt Han Yan next to her." Changxuan said with a smile, "Today I brought someone to my elder sister, how do you see?"

As he said that, Changxuan gently approached Chang'an and lowered his voice a little, "Sister, this is Xu County Magistrate from Luehe District, Luoyang. He is also a poor man, but he has studied hard and passed the imperial examination. His character is well-known in the city and is a rare honest official. Besides, he has no wife at home, so it is very suitable to give to Aunt Hanyan. What does the elder sister think about it?"

Chang'an's eyes flashed and chuckled softly, "What's the use of this palace looking forward to? You have to ask Hanyan to come and take a look?" As she said that, she turned around and called Wanxiang, "Go and call Hanyan."

But for a long time, Han Yan came with joy. As soon as she entered the hall, she immediately blushed when she saw outsiders inside. She also understood what Wan Xiang said just now, and called out, "Empress."

Chang'an sighed and turned to, "I've come to see Lord Xu."

Han Yan slowly walked forward, Wen Ran nodded and said, "Mr. Xu."

Xu Zhiyuan immediately bowed, "I have met Miss Hanyan."

Chang'an watched the two of them come and go, and he smiled gently without realizing it.

She trusted Changxuan and the people she found. Han Yan served by her side for a full seventeen years, as close as a sister. If she didn't find her a home, even Chang'an felt sorry for her. Now that the world has settled and the storm is calm, she has to make good plans for the people around her.
