This time, I'm afraid the emperor may be reluctant to take it lightly, and the empress dowager will not agree.
After the party, Zhao Yuancheng and Fu Qianyu returned to Fengyi Palace together.
After the palace maids had dispersed, Zhao Yuancheng reached out and held Fu Qianyu in his arms, saying softly, "I'm sorry for the injustice you've suffered during this period."
Fu Qianyu put her arms around the emperor's waist and smiled faintly, "But I can see that you knew from the beginning that I did not harm Concubine Xian's child. You trust me, so I don't feel wronged."
Zhao Yuancheng chuckled and said, "Because I know that my queen has always been kind and gentle. You would never do such a thing."
Fu Qianyu looked up at Zhao Yuancheng and asked in confusion, "But Concubine Xian has lost her child. It's pitiful after all. Does the Emperor want to conduct a thorough investigation?"
"No need. The imperial physician had already told me that her pregnancy was unstable and she would most likely not be able to deliver the child. It was just a coincidence that she had a miscarriage today."
Fu Qianyu knew in her heart that such a coincidence would never happen in the world. Since Concubine Shu had already planned everything, Concubine Xian's miscarriage must have been part of the plan.
But since Zhao Yuancheng said so, she could only pretend to be deaf and dumb.
As he spoke, Zhao Yuancheng let go of Fu Qianyu, turned around and started coughing violently. Fu Qianyu hurriedly asked someone to call the imperial physician but was stopped by the emperor.
After drinking a cup of warm tea, Zhao Yuancheng finally calmed down and panted, "So many things have happened today. If I alarm the Queen Mother again, I'm afraid it will cause unrest in the entire palace. I'll rest here with you for a while. I still need to go see the Queen Mother later."
Fu Qianyu said worriedly, "Your Majesty, no matter how important the affairs of state are, you must also take care of your health. You look very pale. Should we ask the imperial physician to take a look?"
Zhao Yuancheng, however, held Fu Qianyu's hand and comforted her, "It's okay. I know my own health. Heng'er is still young. I want to pass this kingdom to him safely!"
Fu Qianyu was moved. Perhaps Zhao Yuancheng was not a good husband, but he was a good emperor and a good father.
Although he was strict in educating Heng'er, Fu Qianyu knew that Zhao Yuancheng didn't want to see the day when he was gone and the crown prince ascended the throne but the country was shaken because of his young age.
He wanted to clear all obstacles in their son's path within the limited time he had!
After a short rest, Zhao Yuancheng took the carriage and headed towards Ci'an Palace.
The empress dowager's face was very bad at this time. She never thought that the concubine she valued was the most vicious one.
The royal family has always been wary of witchcraft. As a mother, how could she watch others curse her own son?
When she saw her son come in with a pale face, the empress dowager's hatred for Concubine Shu increased even more.
"Cheng'er, what's wrong with you? Why do you look so ugly? Nanny Song, please go get the imperial physician!"
"yes,"
Nanny Song did not dare to delay and quickly turned around to leave. Zhao Yuancheng raised his hand to signal everyone to go away first. After everyone in the room had left, he spoke his heart out to the empress dowager.
"Mother, even today, you are still afraid of the Queen, right?"
The Queen Mother was stunned and remained silent.
Zhao Yuancheng continued, "Mother, you understand better than me that no one is more suitable to be a queen than Yu'er. You were afraid she would become the second Queen Dowager Kangxian, so you summoned Consort Shu to the palace. But what is the outcome now?"
The Dowager picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, then said calmly, "I never thought that Concubine Shu would become like this..."
"Mother, the current harem, the Empress, Consort Lian, and Consort Hui are all kindhearted people. Even Consort Xi, ever since Su's death, has been fasting and chanting Buddhist scriptures all day long, never leaving Zhilin Palace. Have you ever seen such a peaceful harem?"
The Queen Mother gave a bitter laugh and said, "Yes, there has never been any peace during the reign of the late Emperor."
"So, mother, please let go of your obsession no matter what. The Queen will never become the second Queen Mother Kangxian. I believe that she will protect our Zhao family's kingdom well."
The Queen Mother looked at her son quietly with a complicated expression: "Why do you trust her so much?"
Zhao Yuancheng thought for a moment and smiled gently: "No reason, these three words Fu Qianyu are enough."
