Chapter 138 The old queen suddenly felt a headache coming on

When Gu Qingheng arrived, he could hear faint sobbing as he stepped into the hall, and his expression became slightly gloomy.

After entering, his eyes automatically fell on the person who was standing aside with his head lowered and his shoulders trembling slightly.

"The prince is here." The Queen Mother looked grim.

Before Gu Qingheng could answer, he saw Zhao Mingzhu's clear eyes emerge from the handkerchief and blink at him.

Gu Qingheng let out a barely perceptible smile.

He said calmly, "Grandson greets the Imperial Grandmother. May the Imperial Grandmother be well and safe."

The old empress dowager looked at her grandson in front of her, who was a handsome boy and the most beloved child to her and the emperor.

But when she thought that he was very likely to have a hidden illness, the old empress dowager suddenly felt like she was about to have a headache.

She calmed herself down and said, "Heng'er, tell me the truth, are you lucky enough to be with Shuangyun?"

Gu Qingheng's expression remained unchanged: "Yes."

The old queen continued, "Don't lie to me. This is about the heir to the throne."

After hearing this, Gu Qingheng sat down, picked up his tea, and seemed to want to say something, but he hesitated for a long time.

This look made the old queen mother feel uneasy. She hurriedly asked, "What's the matter? You and I are blood relatives, so what can't you say?"

After Zhao Mingzhu finished her crying scene, she slowly wiped her tears and then choked up and said:

"Empress Dowager, please don't ask any more questions. Isn't this painful for His Highness?"

"Crown Princess..." The embarrassment on Gu Qingheng's face flashed away, and he looked at the Queen Mother:

"Grandmother, this is all my grandson's fault. Please don't take your anger out on her."

The old empress dowager grasped the head of the phoenix chair and said, "You...you, if you have such concerns, why didn't anyone report it to the Imperial Hospital?"

"I have strictly forbidden any disclosure. They are afraid of me and have no choice but to obey."

Gu Qingheng stood up, lifted his skirt and knelt down: "I am guilty of many things, and it is all my fault. I hope the Empress Dowager will not be sad about this."

The old empress dowager was shocked, but she quickly remembered that Zhao Mingzhu was still present. Naturally, she did not want to tarnish her grandson's reputation any further.

"Alright, get up." The Queen Mother took a deep breath and said, "Have you invited the living immortal?"

Gu Qingheng glanced at Zhao Mingzhu and smiled secretly at her. He remained calm.

"Grandmother, you know that the scholar who won the third place in the imperial examination is from Miaojiang. He has returned this time and asked the witch doctor in his tribe for some ancient prescriptions."

"As for the effect, we can only wait and see."

These words perfectly solved Zhao Mingzhu's dilemma.

Having children means the medicine is more effective.

Without children, the medicine is not effective.

Anyway, it has nothing to do with Zhao Mingzhu's farmland.

"Since there's a way, there's no need to rush. You're in your prime. When I was young, I heard a lot of stories about people who were childless at first, but suddenly had children."

The old queen mother has basically accepted it, after all, two of her grandsons had done the same before.

Needless to say, Gu Xun's body was defective and there was no cure.

Gu Yu is a girl. Even if she can't get married, what's wrong with keeping her for the rest of her life?

But Gu Qingheng is different. He is outstanding and is the crown prince recognized by all the officials in the court.

He had to keep this matter a secret without leaking a single word.

Thinking of this, the old empress dowager looked at Zhao Mingzhu. Although her expression relaxed, it was still stern.

"Crown Princess, you should eat more nourishing foods and take good care of your body. I think you don't need to go. Stay in the Eastern Palace and cultivate your character. Otherwise, even if you have a child, I don't think you can keep it with your temper!"

Zhao Mingzhu curled her lips and thought, look, this is just different for her great grandson.

Everyone saw that the truth was that it was Gu Qingheng's fault, but they still managed to put a lot of blame on her.

She had a smile on her face: "Yes, my granddaughter-in-law will remember the teachings of the Royal Grandmother."

As soon as he left Shoukang Palace, Zhao Mingzhu had a sour face.

Comparing yourself with others will only make you angry!

If she had known that being a man was so good, she should have squeezed one out of her mother's womb.

"Okay, don't be angry." Gu Qingheng pinched her palm.

Zhao Mingzhu was about to shake off his hand when she saw Gu Yan coming from the front. She smiled brightly when she saw the two of them.

He hurried over and said, "Sister-in-law, brother, you have finally entered the palace."

Zhao Mingzhu smiled faintly when she saw her: "Princess, are you going to see the Empress Dowager?"

Gu Yan waved her hands after hearing this: "No, I went to look for my sister, but she still refused to see me. I don't know what happened."

After hearing this, Zhao Mingzhu reminded her that since she had entered the palace, shouldn’t she go to see Gu Yu?

She motioned for the little palace maid on the roadside to come over and asked her to go to the East Palace to carry a box of gifts and prepare to meet Gu Yu later.

"The emperor's sister-in-law and sister have such a good relationship. I envy them." Gu Yan listened and said sincerely.

Zhao Mingzhu didn't respond to her, but just made a few excuses for Gu Yu not seeing her:

"Maybe if I go later, the princess might not see me."

After hearing this, Gu Yan pushed Gu Qingheng aside and held her arm: "Sister-in-law, let's make a bet. I bet that the emperor will meet you."

"Princess, there's no need." Zhao Mingzhu shook her head and was not prepared to accept the bet.

"Oh, boring, okay." She rolled her eyes and said:

"Then I'll walk a little way with you, is that okay? Please, sister-in-law, I'm almost suffocating lately."

"How could that be, Princess?" Zhao Mingzhu said casually as she walked towards Changle Palace.

In fact, I was thinking that I would witness Gu Yu being teased with my own eyes later, hehe.

Gu Yan sighed, "My sister hasn't been around much lately, and I don't know what my third brother is busy with. As for the matter of Miss Su's disappearance... forget it. I can't find anyone to talk to anyway."

"However, it's different now that the Empress's sister-in-law has entered the palace. I like her." Gu Yan said with a smile, then turned to look at Gu Qingheng:

"Just like the prince brother, I like you."

Zhao Mingzhu moved slightly away. When she saw that she was about to reach Changle Palace, she stopped and said:

"Princess, we're here."

After hearing this, Gu Yan was reluctant to leave: "The Emperor's sister-in-law is too heartless. Can't we really be close friends?"

Zhao Mingzhu smiled without saying anything, and Gu Yan walked away dejectedly.

As she passed the rockery, she turned back and said, "Sister-in-law, is it really impossible?"

"Princess, take care."

After everyone left, Zhao Mingzhu went to Changle Palace and knocked on the door, wondering why they were closing the door in broad daylight.

Is it to stop Gu Yan from coming?

At this time, Feicui's head appeared from the crack of the door. After seeing her, she opened the door and said, "This servant greets the Crown Princess and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

At this time, the young palace maids came to Changle Palace carrying boxes. Zhao Mingzhu cast aside her doubts and said happily:

"Where's Gu Yu? Let her come out quickly. I've prepared a lot of gifts for her."

Zhao Mingzhu patted the camphorwood box, her emerald eyes fell on it, and she looked at Gu Qingheng behind her.

"Crown Princess, our princess has gone out to look for you and should be waiting for you in the East Palace now."

ha?

Zhao Mingzhu was looking forward to playing a prank on Gu Yu, but now she can't see him.

She was a little disappointed, but since she had already come to the gate of Changle Palace, she couldn't move back to the East Palace.

"Okay, then you take this box back, and I'll go back to the East Palace right away."

Feicui signaled the palace maids to carry him in, then said, "Farewell, Crown Princess, Your Highness."

After a moment, she raised her head and returned to the palace.

I saw Gu Yu standing in front of the box behind the door. It was early summer and she was wearing a fox fur coat. Even though she had put on makeup, her face was pale due to her illness.

"Princess, why don't you want to see the Crown Princess? Besides, even if you can avoid her today, you won't be able to avoid her again in the future."

Just now, the princesses were clearly unable to get up, but when they heard that the Crown Princess was summoned to Shoukang Palace, they struggled to get up and rush over.

Now that people have come, they refuse to see them.

But he met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince on the way and turned back.

"My royal brother promised me to keep it a secret until the very end."

So after Zhao Mingzhu returned to the East Palace, he would also dissuade her from seeing him.

"Princess, I remember that Master Bo is a Miao doctor from another ethnic group. Why don't we let him take another look?"

A gentle breeze blew, and Gu Yu felt a chill seeping into his bones.

She thought it would be better to open the box before she died so that she could die with a smile on her face.

…

"Emerald, life is hard too."
