Chapter 392 The Prince is Poisoned Again
First of all, Wei Cheng is indeed a very good husband.
Putting aside his official position, it is clear from spending more time with him that he is a considerate person.
The most important thing is that Wei Cheng is on duty in the palace.
If I marry him, I can still stay by the Empress' side and serve her in the future.
At this time, in the carriage ahead, perhaps because they had become more familiar with His Majesty, or perhaps because the Emperor of Great Chu was smiling all the way, Noble Lady Yue and her servant began to chat enthusiastically with the Emperor of Great Chu.
"Your Majesty, this trip has been very fruitful."
Unlike Song Qingyan and the others, Yue Guiren did not come here for fun.
In the words of Lady Le, she was accompanying His Majesty and the Imperial Concubine on official business, so she didn't have any expectations at first. But she was the one who had the most fun.
At the very least, I got to know a lot of folk customs and tried a lot of food that wasn't available in the palace.
"When I left Dingze City just now, I asked Xiaokui to pack some snacks. I will let the Empress Dowager taste them after I return to the palace."
Yue Guiren knew in her heart that His Majesty did not attach great importance to the Queen, so she simply did not mention the Queen's name.
The Great Chu Emperor smiled and nodded: "You are thoughtful."
After saying this, he closed his eyes slightly and began to rest in the carriage.
Seeing that His Majesty seemed tired, Yue Guiren stopped talking, just smiled, lifted the curtain and looked out the window.
Because there was no delay on the road, the return journey was very fast. In just three days, the group arrived in the capital.
Of course, a messenger had already delivered the news to the palace.
During these three days, everyone in the palace was busy.
The servants in the three palaces naturally had to clean the palaces inside and outside carefully. Jinxin also happily returned to Qingyun Palace from Concubine Lan's Yanhe Palace.
She hadn't seen the Empress and Jinyu for a long time, and she really missed them.
The queen also became busy. She had not expected that the emperor was so lucky that the waves of disasters he encountered on the road did not hurt him at all.
There was even an assassination attempt on the way back, but surprisingly, the attacker never came close to them.
But now that the Emperor of Great Chu has returned, she should continue to cheer up, perform well in the harem, and look for opportunities again.
The palace servants were busy preparing to welcome His Majesty and his entourage back to the palace. The Queen had already dressed in palace clothes and brought a group of concubines to the palace gate to welcome His Majesty's return.
The palace gate slowly opened, and the Emperor of Great Chu and his entourage slowly drove into the palace.
Naturally, Zhu Gushan, deputy commander of the Yulin Army, had already ordered the Yulin Army to stand in neat rows on both sides of the palace gate to welcome His Majesty's return.
As the sound of horse hooves gradually approached, the carriage of the Emperor of Great Chu stopped steadily in front of the crowd.
"Your Majesty, please return to the palace!" As the eunuch shouted, all the concubines knelt down one after another: "Your Majesty, please return to the palace! Long live Your Majesty!"
Hearing the noise outside, Yue Guiren in the car in front suddenly held Xiao Kui's hand tightly, and seemed a little nervous.
She had been an unpopular person in the palace before, but now she had gone out and not only was she pregnant, she even came back in the same carriage with His Majesty.
In the second carriage at the back, Lu Xingwan was opening the curtain and looking at the increasingly dark environment with a sad face.
[The sky inside the palace seems to be a little darker than outside, or it seems that the sky outside has suddenly changed as well.]
Jinyu couldn't help but shudder, looked at Song Qingyan with a smile, and said, "I always feel that it's a little colder in here than outside."
[Really? It turns out I'm not the only one who has this thought. ]
[Oh, forget it, I'm back now, let's just live a good life! ]
[I was missing the hustle and bustle of the palace on the way, but now I’m unhappy after returning. ]
Song Qingyan rubbed Lu Xingwan's head and said, "Finally you're back. You can have a good rest now."
"Then prepare well for your prince brother's marriage."
When they saw Yue Guiren and the Emperor of Great Chu coming out of the carriage in front, everyone's expressions varied.
Concubine Lan and Concubine Wen even looked at each other, and saw confusion and uneasiness in each other's eyes.
Could it be that the Royal Concubine had offended His Majesty and was demoted to the rear carriage?
Of course, they were not the only ones who thought this way.
The most excited person was naturally Concubine Yao, who had been disciplined by Song Qingyan in the past. When she saw Concubine Yue getting off the emperor's carriage, her eyes suddenly lit up.
It seems that the Royal Concubine has offended His Majesty.
It seems that the one from Qingyun Palace is going to lose favor in this palace.
But then she became jealous of Lady Yue. She was just a small noble, but she was worthy of sitting next to His Majesty. How shameless she was.
But soon, His Majesty's actions disappointed her.
After the carriage stopped, the Great Chu Emperor did not bother to pay attention to Yue Guiren beside him. He turned around and walked to the carriage behind him, saying softly: "Qingyan, we're here."
【Father, Wanwan is here! 】
Lu Xingwan pulled aside the car curtain and threw herself into the arms of the Emperor of Great Chu.
This made the Emperor of Chu laugh.
Then Song Qingyan also got off the carriage and walked to the crowd side by side with the Emperor of Great Chu.
Concubine Yao's face immediately fell, but fortunately the Emperor of Chu was tired from the long journey and did not notice her expression.
Otherwise, Concubine Yao would be put into confinement again.
Empress Shen Ning, however, stood among the crowd, smiling appropriately: "Your Majesty and the Imperial Concubine, thank you for your hard work along the way."
"Our Princess Yong'an has also worked hard." After saying this, Shen Ning smiled and looked at Lu Xingwan again.
[Humph, smiling tiger, who wants your care. 】
Because of his previous suspicion of Shen Ning, the Emperor of Great Chu did not have a good face towards her.
But she is still the queen, so even though there was no smile on her face, she nodded at her.
"Why are the Crown Prince and the Second Prince not here?" The Emperor of Great Chu looked around and realized that among the people who came to greet him, there were only his concubines and daughters. None of his sons showed up.
According to the personalities of the Crown Prince and the Second Prince, this shouldn't happen.
Meng Quande, who had been waiting by the side for a long time, quickly walked forward a few steps and knelt down: "Your Majesty, I don't know who poisoned the Crown Prince yesterday, and now he has been unconscious all night."
"What?" Before the Great Chu Emperor could speak, Song Qingyan spoke first, "The Crown Prince was poisoned?"
"What did the doctor say?"
Knowing that Song Qingyan was worried about the prince, the Emperor of Great Chu did not interrupt and just waited for Meng Quande's reply.
Meng Quande shook his head: "To answer your Majesty, the imperial physician couldn't figure out what was going on, so..."
Having said that, Meng Quande looked towards Miss Qionghua behind Song Qingyan for help.
Song Qingyan finally reacted and looked anxiously at the Great Chu Emperor: "Your Majesty?"
"Quick, prepare the sedan chair and let Miss Qionghua go to Xingyang Palace first." The Emperor of Great Chu ordered anxiously.
