Chapter 65 Serving the Princess is More Important Than Anything Else
After the people from the Imperial Observatory left, the chief eunuch Fulin who was waiting beside the emperor replaced the emperor's teacup with a new one and poured him warm tea.
The emperor drank his tea and finally felt a little better.
He suddenly thought of something and asked Fulin, "Yesterday, Concubine Shu said she missed Chen Ran. She heard that Chen Ran's illness was more stable, so she wanted to see Chen Ran.
Did Chen Ran go to Concubine Shu’s palace yesterday? What happened? ”
Fulin bowed his head and replied, "According to the news sent back by Concubine Shu, the condition of Prince Chen seems to be quite good. From the time he entered the palace for lunch at noon to the time he left the palace during the palace confinement, he was just like a normal person and did not behave in any way.
On the other hand, Concubine Shu talked to Prince Chen for a long time and cried several times. She even fell ill due to emotional excitement after Prince Chen left.
We have invited a royal physician to come and check on me. He said that it was because I had been worrying too much for a long time and was suddenly too happy, which caused my body to be unable to bear it. ”
The emperor said lightly: "It has not been easy for Concubine Shu over the years."
The prince who was raised in his parents' arms suddenly became mad due to a strange disease, and the emperor, who was born to the emperor, fell into the water and became unconscious, and has been in a state of living dead ever since.
For a woman to endure these blows, if she doesn't go crazy, she is strong.
Shufei was a concubine who had been in the backyard since before the emperor ascended the throne. The emperor did not have any deep romantic feelings for her, but he felt a sense of kinship due to their long-term companionship.
The emperor felt sorry for Concubine Shu and promoted her from Concubine Shu to Concubine Shu.
Over the years, even if the concubine did not stay overnight, basically all the rewards, big or small, would be sent to the Concubine Shu's palace.
This is a treatment that many concubines who gave birth to princesses did not receive.
Objectively speaking, Concubine Shu actually lived a very comfortable life in the harem.
Despite this, the emperor still felt that Concubine Shu had a hard time.
The emperor ordered: "Her poor health is mostly due to the depression she has been feeling for so many years. Tell the Imperial Hospital to use any precious supplements without reporting to the Queen. Just use them directly."
"Yes," Fulin replied, and then sighed: "Your Majesty, you are still so loyal and righteous. It is a great blessing for Concubine Shu to have your concern."
These words touched the emperor's heart.
The emperor sat up straight and said, "Everyone says that the emperor is ruthless. I'm afraid you are the only one in the world who dares to say that to me, Fulin."
Fulin immediately knelt down and said, "I am sorry for talking too much, Your Majesty, please forgive me!"
"Why are you kneeling? You didn't say anything wrong. Stand up," the emperor said helplessly, "You are the only one around me who can tell me what's in your heart."
Only then did Fulin stand up.
The emperor raised his head and looked into the distance again: "Chen Ran was my favorite and most intelligent child back then, but unfortunately he got that disease. Even though the disease has been cured now, so many years have passed, and he has missed the best time for study and cultivation.
This child, it’s such a pity…”
This time, Fulin lowered his head and said nothing.
Not judging any prince casually is one of the rules for long-term survival.
After Gu Chenran was summoned into the palace by Concubine Shu, a steady stream of supplements from the Emperor's side were sent to Concubine Shu's palace.
This couldn't help but cause everyone to speculate whether Gu Chenran had really recovered to normal and the emperor had started to pay attention to him again.
Most people disagree.
Everyone had the same idea, that Gu Chenran had been crazy since he was very young and had never received any training or education.
Even if he has returned to normal now, he is nothing more than an idle and useless prince.
There are also some people who are deeply wary of Gu Chenran.
Among this group of people, some are those who have witnessed with their own eyes how smart and powerful Gu Chenran is.
Another group of people were those who later bullied Gu Chenran and were particularly cruel to him.
Originally, the fact that Gu Chen recovered from his madness didn't cause much of a stir, and everyone just treated it as something they heard casually.
This attracted the emperor's attention, and things changed.
Before he knew it, Gu Chenran had become a target that many people were secretly looking for an opportunity to eliminate.
Gu Chenran just found it funny when he heard the secret report sent back by Green Sword.
He stroked the glass ring on his hand.
The glass ring is hollow, and in the middle is an enhanced version of the talisman to dispel evil spirits that Wen Ling specially drew for him. The talisman with black writing on a yellow background, placed inside the white glass ring, has a mysterious color.
Gu Chenran gently turned the ring on his finger and sneered, "Isn't this the result my good mother wanted?
She didn't want me to have the opportunity to accumulate energy and develop well, so she had to expose me to various forces so early.
It would be best if we were killed directly by some force, so that she could destroy me without any effort.
This is my good mother. ”
Lu Jian suddenly raised his head: "Why would Concubine Shu do this? You... you were raised by her!"
Gu Chenran asked with a smile, but his smile was extremely cold: "Even you think that Concubine Shu is really kind to me, but you can be deceived by her, let alone others."
Green Sword suddenly felt cold all over.
He really found it hard to believe that when the prince was still ill, everyone kept their distance from him.
Only Concubine Shu would send people to deliver a lot of things almost every month, from small things like ice cubes in the summer and new clothes made of fabrics bestowed by the emperor to large things like rare treasures bestowed upon her by the emperor.
Concubine Shu has been sending gifts to the palace every day for more than ten years.
Lu Jian sincerely felt that Concubine Shu was good to the prince.
But now it seems that the prince has just gotten better, and the Concubine Shu not only did not provide effective assistance, but also couldn't wait to invite the prince to the palace, so that the prince could attract everyone's attention...
If even the kindness of Concubine Shu to the prince is fake, then what else is real?
"Your Highness..." Lu Jian's voice was choked with sobs.
Gu Chenran glanced at him and said, "Why are you crying? You are useless. We have a princess now, isn't that better than anything else?"
Thinking of Wen Ling's ability, Lu Jian's eyes lit up: "Yes, we still have the princess. The princess is so powerful. My Lord, serving the princess well is really better than anything else?!"
Gu Chenran: “…”
No, what you said makes me feel like something is weird, something is wrong?
What does it mean to ask him to serve the princess well? !
Gu Chenran held his forehead with his hand as if in pain: "Go out before I ask you to go to the backyard to clean the stables."
Green Sword was about to run away.
"Wait," Gu Chenran suddenly stopped him and asked, "Did the wife of Marquis Pingyang go to the Wanshi House to see the lady today? What did she come for?"
Green Sword replied: "It seems that we have found out why the former Princess Anle lured Gao Yueyuan out of the palace."
"Didn't the former Princess Anle die half a month ago?" Gu Chenran asked with a frown.
Green Sword shook his head: "Then I'm not very clear."
Gu Chenran stood up and said, "Let's go to the Wanshiwu now."
When Gu Chenran arrived at the Wanshiwu, the wife of Marquis Pingyang just came out.
She saw Gu Chenran and bowed: "Greetings, Prince Chen."
Gu Chenran quickly stopped her: "Madam Hou, you don't have to be so polite. You are a senior and a rare confidant of A Ling. I should be the one to greet you."
The Marquis’ wife smiled sincerely: “It seems that the prince is really good to the princess. The prince should really cherish Wen Ling. There are not many girls as kind and capable as her. She is a treasure.”
They sounded earnest and earnest, just like Wen Ling's family members.
Gu Chenran smiled and nodded, watching the Marquis's wife leave.
