Chapter 324 She Really Wants to Thank You

Although Shu Hong was always serious and dignified, she couldn't help but blush at Si Linglong's serious joke. She frowned slightly but didn't explain.

He simply stood up and wrapped the blanket around Si Linglong's legs. "It's cold outside, don't catch a cold, my dear concubine, especially on this special day."

Shu Hong has always been considerate and thoughtful, and Si Linglong was used to it. She nodded and let her gently wrap her belly and ankles without leaving any air.

It was not until Shu Hong sat back on the stool next to her and started talking as if nothing had happened that she realized, "Did she just change the subject?"

…

While Si Linglong was leisurely preparing a roast chicken for her child, Helian Yue had already announced the decision to stay for three days.

Naturally, he would not tell others that it was because Si Linglong needed to rest. He only said that the empress dowager was tired after traveling for days and needed to rest.

Upon hearing the news, Empress Dowager Sheng stopped spinning the Buddhist beads in her hands. She managed hard not to sneer, and even felt that she shouldn't have been soft-hearted and agreed to go back to Beijing with the emperor.

On the other side, Helian Tuo, who also received the news, was surprised.

Based on his understanding of Helian Yue, he was not the kind of person who would change his mind from one day to the next. As for the statement that the empress dowager was tired and needed rest, it was obviously just an excuse.

"Go check and see if the emperor has any other plans."

It's not his fault that he thought too much. The truth is that in everyone's eyes, Helian Yue has always been cold and cruel. Even though he has been showing favoritism to Concubine Lang Gui in recent days, no one really believes that Helian Yue really cares about her.

Helian Tuo was stunned for a moment until Chen Ke brought back the news he had found out.

"Is Concubine Lang Gui not feeling well?" Helian Tuo couldn't explain how he felt when he heard the news. He felt it was ridiculous, but when he thought of that person, he found it understandable.

"The emperor treats her really differently from others." There was a hint of sarcasm in Helian Tuo's tone that he himself did not notice.

Chen Ke, who was standing by, heard the voice and suddenly spoke up, "The emperor didn't get involved in the harem in the past, but now he favors Concubine Lang Gui. If Concubine Lang Gui gives birth to a child in the future, it may be a hindrance to the prince. It would be better to find a way to get rid of her first."

Chen Ke was the confidant assigned to Helian Tuo by King Li. He grew up with him and had always been Helian Tuo's right-hand man. He also knew Helian Tuo's ambitions, so it was natural for him to say these words at this time.

Helian Tuo frowned slightly when he heard this, and it was obvious that he did not agree with the idea of ​​the people around him, whether it was Chen Ke or Qianqian, who wanted to get rid of Si Linglong.

"She is just a woman, not enough to hinder this prince." Helian Tuo said, as if trying to convince himself, "This is just to repay the favor she did for me before, don't touch her."

If Si Linglong could hear what Helian Tuo said at this moment, she would probably be so angry that she would laugh.

She really wanted to thank him for not killing her as a way of repaying the favor.

Chen Ke's eyes narrowed slightly as he listened to Helian Tuo's words.

As someone close to the prince, he can perceive the prince's emotional changes more keenly than anyone else.

Previously, Miss Qianqian had also proposed to deal with this Langguipin. He remembered that the prince had also spoken out to object at that time.

Is he overthinking it?

Without saying anything more, Chen Ke remembered something else.

"Your Highness, Concubine Lian is now alone in the Huguo Temple. Should we try to get her back to the palace? After all, after she returns to the palace, matters in the palace will still require her assistance."

When Helian Tuo heard Qianqian's name, he couldn't help feeling annoyed.

Her performance in recent days has really disappointed him.

"The emperor's attitude towards her can be described as displeasing. It will be useless even if we bring her back to the palace. Anyway, there are people I have arranged to protect her in the Huguo Temple. Let her stay in the Huguo Temple for a while."

Although Helian Tuo's words did not indicate that he would abandon the person, it was clear that he did not intend to care about him for the time being.

Chen Ke didn't want to bring it up any further after hearing that, he just lowered his eyes to hide some of his emotions.
