This topic comes to an end.

Qin Ye looked at the table full of dishes and had no appetite at all. "From now on, close the gates of the palace, do not receive any guests, and double the number of guards."

She didn't want to see Zong Zhengli again.

"yes."

Yue'er responded, holding her still aching lower back, and went out to give the princess's order.

"Why don't you see mother?"

Only at this moment did Qin Ye notice this.

Thinking about it carefully, it seems that I haven't seen Concubine Tong all day.

Yun Ying said, "Empress Tong entered the palace this morning and has not returned yet."

Concubine Tong was ordered to take care of Qin Ye and it was impossible for her to return to the palace. It seemed that she entered the palace because of Prince Li's matter, but it has been a whole day and there is still no news.

It seems that it is not going well.

Qin Ye touched his belly and whispered:

"The Emperor refuses to see Concubine Tong. If I ask for an audience, Yunying, do you think he will see me?"

Yunying fell silent.

She didn't dare say it.

The Emperor is now at war with Prince Li. If he doesn't want to answer the princess' questions, he naturally doesn't want to see her.

The prince is not at home, and Chen Palace is in a passive position.

No matter what they do, they don't have the confidence and fanfare that the prince has when he is at home.

Qin Ye sighed:

"You have not recovered from your cold yet, go and rest. Send someone to the palace to tell the emperor that if he is willing to see me, that would be great. If he is not willing to see me, send someone to tell the emperor every day until he is willing to see me."

"good."

Yunying responded and went out.

As soon as she left, Concubine Tong came back.

Her face didn't look good.

"Mother..." Qin Ye was a little worried.

Tong Fei held Qin Ye's hand tightly, pursed her dry and pale lips, and said in a hoarse voice:

"Xiao Ye, there must be a secret between the Emperor and Prince Li... Otherwise, why would he release Prince Li from the clan residence and not see me?"

She waited outside the imperial study for a whole day, never leaving, but didn't even see the emperor.

She was certain that the secret between them must not be told to anyone.

Qin Ye held her hand and sat down, wiping the sweat off her head with some tenderness:

"Mother, you have worked hard."

"The emperor doesn't want to see us, no matter how much we beg him, it's in vain. But as the ruler of a country, he must know what to do and what not to do. He has always valued Zong Zhengchen. As long as he is here, Zong Zhengchen will be fine."

Zong Zhengli was only in power temporarily.

The future of Dongling Kingdom cannot be left in the hands of Zong Zhengli.

She was certain that the person the emperor valued and favored the most was Zong Zhengchen.

"But we are like blind men now. We don't know what Prince Li is doing. Chen'er is not at home. I feel uneasy and worried..." Concubine Tong was very uneasy.

"Isn't it the throne that he wants?"

His ambition is to rule the world.

In the past month, he has been constantly making achievements, performing well, and earning results to win the hearts of the people. Isn't it just that he wants to develop quickly while Zong Zhengchen is not in the imperial capital?

But the person who makes the final decision is the emperor.

No matter how well he performs, it will be in vain without the emperor's approval.

"Don't worry, mother. Let's wait for another half a month. When the baby is born and I feel better, I will go and join Zong Zhengchen."

"You've been out for a day, and you look terrible. Go to bed early. Although you're in a passive position right now, you should stay calm and take good care of yourself."

As the old saying goes, health is the capital of revolution.

Concubine Tong responded and went back to her room with a sigh.
