Chapter 60 Why didn’t the Concubine Chen invite him to dinner?

But it was a last resort at the time.

Shangguan Sui sighed lightly and slowly recalled.

[When my father was still a prince, he had a concubine named Wen Niang who became pregnant but died in childbirth. The child was then given to the queen, who was still a princess at the time, to raise.]

【But in fact, the concubine's death was not an accident. 】

[The Queen bribed the doctor and secretly did something to Wen Niang after she gave birth, causing her to bleed profusely. She pretended that she was incurable and eventually dragged her to death.]

Shangguan Lin was very surprised when he heard this.

He only knew that Wen Niang had passed away at that time and the child was left without a mother, so Jue'er was given to the empress to raise.

I didn’t expect…

This was all planned by the Queen...

Shangguan Jue felt even more dizzy, and the whole world began to turn upside down.

His head tilted and he fainted on the ground.

“Brother!”

"Jue'er! Call the imperial physician quickly!"

Shangguan Lin and Shangguan Sui exclaimed at the same time.

Soon, Shangguan Jue was placed in a side hall.

Doctor Xu came to give him acupuncture, and after a few injections, Shangguan Jue gradually regained consciousness.

"Your Majesty, the eldest prince fainted because of a momentary fit of anger. It's nothing serious."

Shangguan Lin was relieved.

"Got it. Go get me some more tranquilizers."

Shangguan Sui lay on the edge of the bed, holding Shangguan Jue's cool big hand with his small hand.

I couldn't help but sigh.

[Big brother is really miserable. Not only does he have to admit that he is the thief and his mother, but he also has no chance to redress the verdict for his mother.]

[It has been so long since the incident happened, there is no evidence to identify the queen anymore]

[…Unless we can find the doctor from that time.]

[But the doctor has long gone...]

Shangguan Jue felt a pain in his heart when he heard this.

He slowly raised his eyelids, his eyes filled with sadness.

Shangguan Sui was immediately surprised when he saw him blinking.

"Brother, you're awake! You're okay!"

Shangguan Lin also hurried over and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw the situation.

"It's all right, it's all right."

Shangguan Sui took the opportunity to pull him aside and act coquettishly.

"Dad! My elder brother really likes Sister Feng, please help him!"

[Ahhh Daddy, you are the only one who can help big brother! ]

[Give me a marriage! Give me a marriage! Please, please! ]

Shangguan Lin couldn't help but cough when he was stared at by the two of them.

"I know that Miss Feng is a good girl. I absolutely approve of their marriage."

"After I summon Minister Feng tomorrow, I will immediately issue an imperial decree to grant you the marriage!"

Upon hearing this, Shangguan Sui immediately jumped up for joy.

“That’s great!”

[Oh! Great! Great! Daddy is the best daddy! ]

Shangguan Jue couldn't help but smile.

He and Ci'er can finally be together.

Shangguan Jue rested for a while and then prepared to go home.

Shangguan Lin frowned.

"Rest here tonight. I'm worried about you going back like this."

Shangguan Jue shook his head, stood up and got out of bed.

"I am much better now. I am fine."

Shangguan Sui on the side covered his mouth and laughed.

[Hehe, big brother must be eager to meet Sister Feng~]

[My CP is the sweetest! 】

Although Shangguan Jue didn't understand what Xipi meant.

But the tips of her ears couldn't help but turn red.

What else is there that Shangguan Lin doesn't understand?

He waved his hand and asked Eunuch Chen to prepare the sedan chair and escort Shangguan Jue out of the palace.

Shangguan Lin held Shangguan Sui in his arms, and the two returned to Yu's study.

After a while, the queen sent someone over.

After Xinlan bowed, she said in a gentle voice, "Greetings to the Emperor. The Empress made sea bass soup herself and would like the Emperor to come and taste it."

Shangguan Sui nestled in Shangguan Lin's arms.

He pursed his lips upon hearing that.

[You made it yourself? I don’t believe it…]

[I just scolded my eldest brother, and now I feel like cooking? 】

[It's really like playing the erhu in a grave, bullshit! ]

Shangguan Lin wanted to laugh when he heard this, but he held it back.

The situation ahead remains serious and steady.

In the past, he would have given the Queen this honor and gone to her place for dinner.

After all, she is the empress, she has always managed the harem well and is very filial to the empress dowager.

But now, he knew that the Queen had killed Wen Niang...

When I saw the empress, I thought of Wen Niang’s tragic death.

Although there is no evidence now, he really doesn't want to see the queen again.

Shangguan Lin's gaze fell on Xinlan and his voice was stern.

"I am busy with official duties, so I will not go over to eat. Let the Queen eat by herself."

Xinlan was stunned and very surprised.

In the past, when the Empress invited him, the Emperor had never refused.

What happened today...

Shangguan Sui, however, was smiling from ear to ear.

[Hahaha, great! The Queen is going to be pissed off!]

[It seems my father doesn’t like the queen anymore! He finally came to his senses!]

Shangguan Lin: ...

What are you talking about? What are you talking about?

He has always been sober, okay?

It's just that I was deceived by the Queen before.

Xinlan didn't dare to say anything else. She bowed hastily and left.

Not long after she left, Qingping came.

"Your Majesty, the Concubine Chen asked me to take the princess back for dinner."

[Yeah yeah~ Mom is here to pick me up to have a delicious meal~]

Shangguan Lin: ...

Why didn’t the Concubine Chen invite him to dinner?

No, he wants to go too.

Shangguan Lin nodded, "I understand. I will take the Fifth Princess to the Bihua Palace now."

[Ah, why does Dad want to come? Hasn't he been having dinner in Yu's study recently? ]

[Daddy, just eat a few bites in the study, don't steal the food that mom made from me! ]

Shangguan Lin immediately chuckled when he heard this.

He has been very busy with official duties recently, and every day he would just eat something casually in his study and then continue to review memorials.

It is true that I haven't been to Chenfei Palace for meals for a few days.

Not to mention that it could make Suishun angry for a while, so he was even more determined to go.

After saying this, Shangguan Lin immediately picked up Shangguan Sui, and they got on the sedan chair and headed for Bihua Palace.

At this time, the sun sets in the west and the lights in the Bihua Palace are lit.

The Concubine Chen was waiting at the palace gate and saw the bright yellow figure walking towards her.

He was a little surprised for a moment, but soon calmed down and bowed.

"Greetings to the Emperor."

Shangguan Lin walked closer and said, "Stand up."

The Concubine Chen glanced at Shangguan Sui and her brows moved slightly.

What's going on?

She didn't cook that much.

Shangguan Sui shook his head towards Concubine Chen innocently.

【I don't know either.】

[Daddy had to follow me here~]

Shangguan Lin: ...

It doesn’t matter. As long as I can eat the meal cooked by Concubine Chen herself, it’s enough.

Several people sat down at the table.

The concubine immediately ordered the small kitchen to prepare a few more dishes.

Shangguan Lin was drinking duck soup, and her eyes couldn't help but be attracted by the hint of blue on Chen Fei's ear.
