Chapter 240 Concubine Hui's strange look

The old emperor's eyes flickered noticeably.

Everyone immediately stood up and saluted, "Welcome to the Imperial Concubine."

Concubine Hui rushed in with red eyes. The moment she saw the old emperor, tears started to fall from her eyes like broken strings.

"I pay my respects to His Majesty."

The old emperor hurried over, supported Concubine Hui with both hands, and comforted her, "What's wrong? Why are you crying? They are all watching us. Don't let these ministers laugh at you."

Concubine Hui immediately understood the meaning of the emperor's words.

She heard in the harem that Heng'er had an accident and was carried from the Golden Palace to the Imperial Hospital by Duke Xie.

She had been unable to sleep since yesterday and her heart was extremely restless. Today she heard that her Heng'er was unconscious.

Unable to contain himself any longer and ignoring anything else, he hurried from Yuhua Palace to the Imperial Hospital.

After asking about the whole story along the way, Fang learned that her Heng'er had been caught in the rain and blown by the cold wind all night yesterday.

He dragged his sick body to the morning court without even having time to change his clothes.

During this period, he was also bullied by the officials under that evil creature. He was so angry that he kept retching and even had a high fever and convulsions.

Just thinking about her makes my heart bleed.

But she had already thought of an excuse on the way here.

"Yesterday, my son was punished by me. Today, he handed over a sign asking people in the palace to come to the Imperial Hospital to invite the imperial physician. Although I, as his mother, am angry at his mischief, I also feel really sorry for him.

I came to the Imperial Hospital just to wait for the imperial physician to return so that I could ask if the prince was injured.

I will wait here, Your Majesty, please do not laugh at my nonsense."

She couldn't say that she came to the Imperial Hospital specifically for Heng'er, so she could only use the name of caring about that bastard.

However, Chen Zhao discovered that when Concubine Hui said these words, her eyes kept glancing at Xie Yuheng beside her.

A trace of heartache flashed across his eyes.

She concluded that she was not mistaken.

At this moment, Xie Yuheng, who had woken up at some point, let out a weak cold snort like a sick cat.

Although the voice was low, everyone could hear it clearly, especially the old emperor and Concubine Hui who had always been worried about him.

Chen Zhao saw that the old emperor and Concubine Hui were both looking at Xie Yuheng.

The suspicion in her heart grew stronger, and something was about to come out.

Duke Xie was busy changing the wet towel on Xie Yuheng's head.

Hearing the sound, he called out lovingly, "Heng'er?"

Chen Zhao also looked towards Xie Yuheng, and when he saw his eyes slowly open, his worried heart finally settled down.

Fortunately, Yuheng was not in trouble, otherwise she would be blamed for her death.

Xie Yuheng responded indifferently, his brows furrowed.

Suddenly, he grabbed Duke Xie's hand and said weakly, "Dad, has the emperor made a decision for the Northwest Army?"

Duke Xie looked at the old emperor awkwardly and said, "You fool, don't you see that the emperor is here too?"

Of course Xie Yuheng saw it. He knew very well that his words were insignificant and ten of his words were not as effective as one of his father's.

Besides, he had no friendship with the old emperor, and the old emperor would not make decisions for the Northwest Army just because he fainted.

And there was that annoying Concubine Hui. As soon as I woke up, I heard her asking about the third prince.

She is really a good mother. The Third Prince is such a bad bastard and it is all thanks to her.

It would have been fine if she had been spoiled in the harem, but she gave birth to and raised such a bad guy as the Third Prince.

Shen Zhao subconsciously observed the expressions of the old emperor and Concubine Hui.

She always felt that the old emperor had an inexplicable feeling for Xie Yuheng.

In particular, the old emperor's fleeting murderous intent towards the third prince had always been imprinted in her mind.

The bold idea in my mind became stronger and stronger.

Especially the arrival of Concubine Hui today, and the look she kept giving Xie Yuheng.

The look in his eyes was full of affection, as if he couldn't get enough of it.

"This young master is from Duke Xie's mansion, right?" Concubine Hui couldn't help but take a few steps forward, getting closer to Xie Yuheng. "What happened to him? Is he feeling better?"

With the same tone as an elder showing concern for the younger generation, he said affectionately, "Your mother and I are close friends. Seeing you today is like seeing your mother."

Concubine Hui didn't even dare to blink, as she could only see Heng'er's portrait.

Over the years, she has been thinking day and night about seeing Heng'er in person.

Every time she saw that bastard, she would wonder if her Heng'er had grown up this big now, and if her Heng'er was now also snuggling up to Lady Xie, calling her mother coquettishly.

When she learned that her Heng'er had joined the army alone and concealed his identity, she almost cried her eyes out.

Swords and knives are merciless on the battlefield, and her Heng'er was so young at that time. If anything happened to her, she would not survive.

Fortunately, the emperor and the brother of the Xie family brought Heng'er back from the army and arranged him in Kyoto, so she finally put her mind at ease.

Now seeing the lively Heng'er, she seemed to reach out and touch him.

I really want to hear Heng'er call her mother.

Now Heng'er is right in front of her, but she can't touch him or care about him.

Chen Zhao's eyes darkened. She didn't know if others had noticed, but she saw the flash of tears and the unconcealable sadness in Concubine Hui's eyes.

Xie Yuheng suddenly replied, "I don't look like my mother."

What a cunning woman, she's trying to get close to him.

This is to win over the Xie family on behalf of her good son.

I really thought he was stupid!

He doesn't look like his mother at all.

She was also a close friend of his mother, but he had never heard his mother mention any relationship between her and Concubine Hui.

He wouldn't be fooled by such a lame excuse.

"Your Majesty, please don't ask about the affairs of the court, and the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics." He couldn't help but retort.

The worst that could happen is that he'll be punished. It's not like he hasn't been punished before.

The emperor would not chop off his head for such a small matter.

Besides, his father is the most protective of his son. He usually wants to beat him to death.

But if his life was really in danger, Dad would be the first one to stand in front of him and protect him.

In fact, his father is really a good father except when he doesn't beat him.

With a "pa" sound, a slap landed accurately on the back of Xie Yuheng's hand.

Xie Yuheng looked at his father in disbelief and took back what he had just said.

Woohoo... He is not a good father.

Xie Yuheng looked at Lord Xie with grievance, "What did I do wrong to deserve my father's beating? When I first woke up, I felt dizzy, blacking out, nauseous, and retching. I felt sore and weak all over, as if I was dying.

Dad, not only do you not feel sorry for me, but you also beat me because of an outsider... I might as well stay unconscious..."

He actually feels good now, but he feels weak all over, which is not as serious as he said.

If he doesn't act pitiful, how can he make his father feel guilty?

His father was on good terms with Wu Zheng, and he was alarmed. His father was becoming increasingly stupid, and what if he got cheated?

When Chen Zhao discovered that Yu Heng said these words, from her perspective, the heartache in Concubine Hui's eyes was about to overflow.

Shen Zhao's eyes lit up.

That bold idea made her heart beat faster, if her guess was correct.

After you provide the great god cat to eat raw pickled body swap, the general tore his white moonlight
