Shen Fu loosened her grip and retracted her gaze.
Since she was favored, Shen Fuke has never been turned away.
I have always been able to come and go freely through the gate of the Qianqing Palace. When has anyone ever stopped me at the door?
Being favored for such a long time made Shen Fu feel ashamed, but after a moment she realized: "Is there someone else in the room?"
Shen Fu lowered her eyes and looked at the little eunuch lying on the ground.
The young eunuch was frightened when he saw her eyes, and then he shook his head quickly: "No, no, there is no one inside."
Chen Fu carefully looked into the young eunuch's eyes, and when she saw that he didn't look like he was lying, she heaved a sigh of relief.
"There's no one inside, so that means His Majesty is mad at the Empress Dowager, right?"
Chen Fu faced the closed door in front of her and couldn't help but said lightly: "You palace doesn't know how big a mistake you have made. Your Majesty is unwilling to see you."
The little boy next to him pretended not to hear and his head almost dropped to the ground.
"Slave...slave doesn't know." How could they, the servants, guess what the Emperor was thinking?
His Majesty's temper came out of nowhere. Shen Fu wanted to be angry, but she couldn't figure out the reason for it.
After all the consideration, I just wanted to let my grandfather and his family come to Beijing, but the Emperor just refused to agree to this small matter.
Now he doesn't even want to see me.
Chen Fu really wanted to rush into the house and question His Majesty, but in the end she regained some of her rationality.
She is now in the Qing Palace, and her every move is likely to escape the eyes of His Majesty.
"Since Your Majesty does not want to see you, then the Queen will go back first."
Chen Fu lowered her head, her thin body standing in the cold wind. After she finished speaking, she trembled deliberately.
"Your Majesty." The young eunuch was startled and quickly reached out his hand to help.
Chen Fu waved her hand to avoid the young eunuch's palm: "Since Your Majesty does not want to see the concubine, please do not report the news from the concubine to Your Majesty."
After Shen Fu finished speaking, she turned her head and looked at the tightly closed palace gate again, her eyes trembling slightly.
It was unknown what emotions emerged in her dark eyes. Shen Fu sighed softly again, then she held Zi Su's hand and left.
After her back disappeared from his sight, the little eunuch, who had been hanging his head, stood up.
He raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, took a long breath, then bent down and pushed the door open.
Inside the room, on the coral green velvet carpet in the center, there was a nine-turn glazed incense burner.
Amid the curling smoke, it was seen that His Majesty was not sitting at the head of the table today, which was unusual. Instead, he was standing by the low table by the window.
The young eunuch looked around and hurriedly stepped forward with his head lowered: "Your Highness."
His Majesty had known about it the moment Concubine Zhao entered the courtyard. Otherwise, he would not have let her block the door.
But... the little eunuch raised his head and looked at His Majesty. But His Majesty's eyes were looking out the window, and that place was exactly where Concubine Zhao had just stood.
The young eunuch lowered his head quickly: "Your Majesty, Concubine Zhao has left."
"I know."
Xiao Yu looked towards the door, and only when the figure in the distance completely disappeared from his sight did he withdraw his gaze.
"What did Concubine Zhao look like just now?" Xiao Yu asked in a low voice while flipping through the memorial in his hand.
This really stumped little Baozi, he looked up at His Majesty in confusion.
What does His Majesty mean by asking this?
He was just busy replying to Concubine Zhao's words, so how could he have the time to look at Concubine Zhao's expression?
Little Baozi racked his brains and grabbed his hair, trying to think of a way to reply: "My Majesty, I just saw that you didn't look very happy..."
He stammered, but before he could finish his words, a hand reached out from behind and slapped him on the head: "Fool, His Majesty wants to ask you if Concubine Zhao is angry!"
Behind him, Lin An came in with tea. Seeing the boy's confused look, he slapped him on the forehead.
Didn’t you see that His Majesty was unhappy? This kid keeps saying that Concubine Zhao is unhappy.
As Lin An spoke, he raised his head and glanced at His Majesty inconspicuously. Then he bent down and respectfully handed the tea to His Majesty.
"Empress Zhao, Empress Zhao is not angry." Xiao Baozi breathed a sigh of relief and replied quickly.
Judging from the way Concubine Zhao looked just now, it was absolutely impossible for her to be angry.
He just looked a little unhappy and sad.
But he didn't dare to say anything. He raised his hand and touched his head which was hurt by the beating. The little treasure said tremblingly: "The queen was not angry. She just stood at the door and looked at me for a long time when she left."
After he said this, he felt the Emperor's gaze falling on him.
He did not dare to raise his head: "Your Majesty, before Concubine Zhao left, she asked me to keep it a secret and not to tell...anyone about her coming."
His voice became smaller and smaller as he spoke, until it was as small as a mosquito and could not be heard.
Right in front of him, Xiao Yu lowered his head and flipped through the memorial in his hand. After a long time, he hummed.
Xiao Baozi waited for a long time, but the Emperor did not give any instructions, so he bent down and slowly retreated.
After everyone left, Lin An went to see His Majesty.
But the Emperor just lowered his head and turned the memorial in his hand back and forth, and it was obvious that his mind was not on the memorial.
Lin An knew what the emperor was grudge against, so he sighed and took the initiative to step forward: "Your Majesty, since you are reluctant to leave, why do you have to hide from the queen?"
The two masters have been getting along well for such a long time, and even when they have had a quarrel, His Majesty has never taken the initiative to avoid the Empress.
It has never happened before that we didn't even see each other like today.
Lin An saw that His Majesty was reluctant in his heart, and knew that His Majesty clearly didn't want to do it, but he really couldn't understand why His Majesty wanted to do this.
"Your Majesty is clearly still thinking about the Empress."
Lin An couldn't help but persuade.
But after he said this, His Majesty's hand, which was flipping through the memorial, paused for a moment.
Xiao Yu raised his head to look at Lin An, flipping the memorial in his hand back and forth. Xiao Yu didn't read a single word just now: "I can't let go of Chen Fu."
He leaned back and threw the letter on the table: "But I don't want to see her!"
Lin An was about to pick it up, but when he heard this, he involuntarily pulled his hand back.
"Why is this?"
Lin An knew that the reason His Majesty did this was just because he wanted his grandfather's family to come.
For such a trivial matter, Lin Angen never thought that His Majesty would not agree.
I originally thought that this matter was a done deal, but after such a long time, His Majesty still refused to give in.
"The reason she saw me was simply to ask me to let her grandfather go to Beijing." Xiao Yu couldn't help but sigh when he said this.
"Then I really can't help it and have to speak a fair word on behalf of Concubine Zhao."
Seeing that His Majesty's expression had eased, Lin An dared to speak up: "Although there is no precedent of a foreign relative entering the imperial harem in the court, the matter of Concubine Zhao is also a matter of reason."
Lin An knew that His Majesty loved Concubine Zhao, and that was why he dared to say a few more words.
"If Concubine Zhao is sad, Your Majesty will not be happy either." Lin An stepped forward with a smile to comfort her:
"Since the matter is not serious, why doesn't Your Majesty help the Empress?"
"I just don't want to."
Xiao Yu stroked the jade ring in his hand, turning it rapidly back and forth, obviously very annoyed.
"She just doesn't want to stay in the palace. I'm afraid that if her family comes, she won't want to stay here anymore."
He raised his head, rubbed his brows with his fingertips, and sighed deeply: "Lin An, I'm just afraid."
This lonely palace, day after day.
Chen Fu was the only one by his side. If even Chen Fu left him in the end, he would not know how to live the rest of his life.
"Lin An, I'm just scared."
The emperor's weak voice echoed throughout the hall; it was so quiet that it seemed impossible to hear clearly.
Only Lin An stood where he was, looking at His Majesty in astonishment.
His mind went blank and he almost thought he had misheard.
How could such nonsense come out of His Majesty's mouth?
How could a dignified emperor, the supreme ruler, utter the word "fear"?
