Chapter 242: Shupin Wants to See the Second Princess

The concubines were still talking happily when a maidservant beside the empress suddenly came in from outside and said, "Your Majesty, the maidservant beside Concubine Shu is here."

When they heard Shupin's name, everyone was a little surprised.

Some of the brave ones looked up in the direction of Song Qingyan.

I heard that Shupin was put under house arrest by His Majesty because she participated in the murder of the Imperial Noble Consort.

The queen also looked at Song Qingyan suspiciously, and then ordered: "Send her in."

The young maid had been trained very well by Concubine Shu, so she rushed in and knelt directly in the hall: "Your Majesty, our queen suddenly had a high fever since midnight yesterday. I don't know why."

Lu Xingwan felt annoyed whenever she heard Shupin's name.

[If the fever doesn't go away, go see a doctor. Why are you coming here to complain? ]

[Do you want the Empress, who knows medical skills, to come and see you in person? ]

[Are you up to something again? Are you trying to slander my mother again? My mother hasn't been near you these days.]

The Queen naturally said the same thing: "If you feel unwell, go to the Imperial Hospital to ask for a doctor. Why are you coming to me?"

There seemed to be some anger in his tone.

The maidservant did not give up, kneeling on the ground and muttering: "Madam, the imperial physician has already examined her. Our Madam...our Madam wants to see the Second Princess, and has come to ask for your grace."

"Meet the second princess?" The queen was suddenly stunned.

Then he turned his head to look at Song Qingyan and discussed with her: "Logically speaking, the second princess is about to get married, so it is only right for her to meet her mother."

"It's just..." The Queen thought for a long time but couldn't come up with a reason. "It's just that Shupin is still under house arrest. What does the Royal Concubine think about this?"

[Mother! She is setting a trap for you again. Don't let her fool you.]

[It is clear that Concubine Shu was confined by the emperor, so why is he asking about you? ]

Song Qingyan was not stupid. Moreover, Shupin was the one who harmed her sister, so she naturally did not want to let her go. She smiled and leaned back in her chair, looking at the empress in front of her, and replied, "Your Majesty should consult His Majesty on this matter."

"After all, it was His Majesty who put Concubine Shu under house arrest."

Shen Ning nodded calmly and looked at the maid in front of her: "Go back and tell your queen first, and tell her to take good care of herself."

Then he turned to look at Yue Ran who was standing beside him and said, "Go and tell the Second Princess about this. If she is willing to go, take her to visit Shupin."

After the Queen said this, several concubines, led by Concubine Yao, naturally praised the Queen for her kindness.

As for the second princess, who originally lived in the side hall of Zhuhua Palace, she just stood there without moving when she heard the report from the maidservant beside the empress.

Yue Ran knew that the queen was going to make this happen, so she continued, "Our queen said that it's okay if the princess doesn't want to see Concubine Shu."

"I just hope the princess can be happy before she gets married."

Lu Xingxue just nodded without saying anything else, and asked the maid beside her to send Yueran out.

She herself turned and looked towards the main hall, not knowing what she was looking at.

After an incense stick of time, the second princess suddenly came back to her senses and told the maid beside her: "I'm going to the main hall, you don't have to follow me."

The second princess pushed open the door of the main hall with extremely complicated feelings.

At a glance, he saw Concubine Shu lying weakly on the bed. There was a faint smell of herbs in the hall, and it seemed that she had just taken medicine.

After meeting her mother last time, she was already certain in her heart that her mother did not love her and her sister.

But during this period, although she was trying hard to avoid Shupin, she was often seen playing with her sister in the yard, and they seemed to be having a lot of fun.

Now that she knew her mother only wanted to see her when she was sick, she couldn't help but be moved.

"Did the Queen agree?" Shupin knew that Lu Xingxue had come, so she deliberately suppressed her excitement and spoke in a disappointed tone.

"Forget it. I guess Xingxue won't see me again." After saying this, Shupin let out a long sigh.

Lu Xingxue finally shed tears, walked to the bed, and held her hand: "Mother."

Shupin then opened her eyes in surprise and looked at Lu Xingxue: "Xingxue, it really is you."

I have to say that Shupin’s acting skills are really good, and a tear actually rolled down my cheeks.

Shupin tried her best to hold Lu Xingxue's hand and said, "Xingxue, it was my fault for what happened before. I shouldn't have used you and your sister as tools to get to the top."

"Mother has thought it through in the palace these days. Nothing is better than us and I being together happily."

"Are you getting married soon?"

"It's a pity that you will be married off from the Empress' Palace, and your mother won't be able to see you." When Shupin said this, her eyes were full of disappointment, but she was trying hard to suppress herself.

Lu Xingxue opened her mouth, but in the end said nothing.

He didn't say anything more to Shupin, but just turned and left.

Watching Lu Xingxue's back as she left, Shupin revealed a triumphant smile. My dear daughter, your mother is waiting here, waiting for you to take your mother out.

Give my mother freedom.

Lu Xingxue left the main hall in a daze, and the thought did flash through her mind for a moment.

I want to beg the Empress, the Queen Mother, or my father, or Empress Chen, to release my mother from her house arrest.

But suddenly, Song Qingyan's face, full of concern for her, flashed through her mind.

I can't.

Empress Chen was so good to me, and my mother was one of the culprits who killed the late emperor. How could I let her go so easily?

Empress Chen had already given her face by sparing her life.

How could I be so greedy?

After thinking about it, the second princess finally went to Yu's study.

Apparently, he saw the Second Princess leaving Zhuhua Palace and heading for Yu's study before returning to inform the Empress.

But they didn't think about what the second princess wanted.

The Emperor of Great Chu was also having a headache.

Finally, at night, I chose to go to Qingyun Palace.

Because there was no prior notice, when the Emperor of Great Chu arrived, Song Qingyan and her daughter were having dinner.

Seeing the Great Chu Emperor coming, Song Qingyan stood up quickly and asked, "Your Majesty, why are you here so late? Have you had your meal yet?"

The Great Chu Emperor had not seen the mother and daughter for a long time. When he saw them, the depressed mood in his heart seemed to disappear suddenly. He smiled and asked, "I have eaten, but why did you two eat so late?"

Song Qingyan smiled a little embarrassedly and said, "I accompanied you to take a nap in the afternoon, but I woke up late, so this is..."

[It turns out that my father still remembers me and my mother! ]

Lu Xingwan’s complaints will never disappear.
