Chapter 281 How are you?
After chatting about this and that for half an hour, the Crown Princess finally got to the point.
"It's been almost three months since the Crown Prince ascended the throne, and the harem is still empty." The Crown Princess said somewhat dejectedly, "Actually, I asked you to come here today because I hoped Secretary Xie could talk to the Emperor about how it's not good for the Empress's Palace to always be empty."
Shen Heng then realized that the Crown Prince had become the Emperor, and the Crown Princess was still the Crown Princess, not the Empress. "When the Master comes tonight, I'll tell her about this."
Yes, why didn't the new emperor confer a title of empress? The Crown Princess is the Empress, which is logical, but without the ceremony of conferring the title, it lacks a bit of meaning, and I always feel that she is not taken seriously.
The Crown Princess breathed a sigh of relief: "In the Emperor's harem, besides me, there are only two concubines. I wanted to select some beauties to enter the palace, but the Emperor disagreed. Madam Shen, I would like to thank you for your trouble."
What? Shen Heng was stunned for a moment: "Crown Princess, this is the Emperor's family, it would be inappropriate to let Xie Jian speak."
The Crown Princess smiled bitterly. "The Emperor, apart from Lord Xie and Lord Lu, who seem to listen, even Lord Qin has been expelled. The Crown Prince has no children yet. If this continues, I will be a criminal."
"Don't say that, Crown Princess. Giving birth isn't something a woman has the final say on," Chen Heng said.
"When I heard what Madam Shen said, I knew that Lord Xie treats you very well." The Crown Princess looked dejected, but people in the world would not think so. If she were an ordinary woman, she might not be so distressed: "Madam Shen, please take care of these two things." Saying this was also an embarrassment to her as the Crown Princess, but there was really no other way.
Shen Heng responded.
The palace maid took Shen Heng away from the palace.
Along the way, Chen Heng thought about what the Crown Princess said. The new emperor has so many relatives and two concubines, but he doesn't even have an heir. Is there something wrong with his health?
Then I thought of myself and Xie Jian. Well, why don’t I go see a doctor?
Just as Shen Heng was thinking this, three old men came out from a gravel path while talking. When one of them saw Shen Heng, he was so scared that he stumbled and fell to the ground.
Shen Heng looked over and raised her eyebrows.
The Zhuyou masters looked at each other, coughed lightly a few times, lowered their heads and tried to walk away as if they hadn't seen anything.
Chen Heng sneered at the three people who were about to leave, and said to the palace servant, "I know this road well, I can leave by myself, you go down first."
"yes."
As soon as the palace maid left, Shen Heng stepped forward and said, "Masters, how are you?"
The leaders: "..."
Chen Heng stopped them and said coldly, "Are you feeling at peace with yourself by aiding and abetting the evil?"
"We can't even protect our own lives, what else can we do?" someone muttered.
“It’s not our own will.”
Chen Heng looked at them, all dressed in white robes. From a distance, they looked like otherworldly masters, but in reality, they were far from that. "My husband, the Minister of the Central Secretariat, Mr. Xie, will not let anyone who has harmed his family go unpunished."
It's just that there's no time to count them now.
The three people's expressions changed.
One of them puffed out his chest and said angrily, "We are just following orders. If we don't obey Liu Yu's orders, he will kill everyone in our valley."
"Yes, he is bad."
"Yeah. I've never seen such a bad person."
"But he's quite pitiful."
“There is always something hateful about a pitiful person.”
"Well said."
The three of us were talking at the same time.
Chen Heng felt that the thinking level of these three people in front of her was far from her own. "Why did Liu Yu keep you around?"
One of them suddenly pointed behind Shen Heng and said in shock: "It's the Emperor."
