"Your Highness,"

She looked at Zhu Chengxuan with a complicated expression, and hesitated for a while before saying, "Your Highness, please don't go."

Zhu Chengxuan was originally impulsive to enter the palace, but was stopped by his wife and pushed open the door. A cool breeze blew in from outside, which made him calm down a little. He stood at the door and stopped with one hand.

But then, he looked down at Gu Qiqing in confusion.

Although he was a little impulsive just now, it was a bit strange that Gu Qiqing stopped him.

With her character, she should calm herself down and make plans for a long time, rather than "don't go".

Thinking of this, Zhu Chengxuan showed a puzzled expression on his face. He looked down at Gu Qiqing and said, "Qiqing, why did you tell me not to go?"

Gu Qiqing looked out, fortunately there was no one outside, and the maid Changsui, who served by the two, was standing outside the gate. So she pulled Zhu Chengxuan back, closed the door again, and then turned to look at him: "Your Highness, Your Highness should calm down and think about the meaning of the imperial concubine's move."

Zhu Chengxuan looked at her and looked back at the potted pot.

Gu Qiqing said: "The Imperial Concubine is the person who has been following the emperor for the longest time and is also the person who can understand the emperor's mind. Since she has sent this thing, it means that she has seen through the emperor's mind. Since she has seen through it, then - with her nature, shouldn't she be the first to persuade the emperor?"

Zhu Chengxuan's heart suddenly moved.

Gu Qiqing continued, "But she didn't."

“…”

"She did not advise the emperor, but instead sent the potted plants to His Highness. So, what does she mean? Your Highness understands?"

Zhu Chengxuan frowned and thought for a while, and said, "She let me know all this, but she did not want me to persuade my father."

Gu Qiqing said: "Yes."

“…”

"If the first thing the Empress does is to persuade Your Majesty and then send this pot of potted plants, then her intention is to hope that Your Highness will work together with her to stop the emperor. But she did not advise, and then send this potted plants, she also hoped that Your Highness will work together with her, but she would not persuade her."

Zhu Chengxuan's brows frowned even tighter.

He slowly walked back to the table, looked at the properly trimmed potted plant with a serious expression, slowly sat down on the edge of the table, and said in a deep voice: "She knew what his father was thinking, knew that his father was going to go to war regardless of the dragon body, and had already made the worst plan, but he did not persuade him..."

“…”

"Why didn't she persuade?"

Gu Qiqing also slowly walked back to him, thought for a while before saying, "Maybe, I don't want to persuade him, maybe, it's useless to know that he's trying to persuade him."

“…”

"Probably, only the Empress knows it."

In the mood of everyone's hesitation and uneasiness, the sky gradually darkened. After the last ray of sunshine was taken away from the red wall, Delu also led his people to light up the lanterns under the eaves.

The lights quickly illuminated the quiet yard of Yikun Palace.

Compared to the crowded houses during the day, it seemed a little quieter at this time. Not only did the ladies leave, but even the Emperor, who often came here to spend the night, did not come tonight.

After lighting up the lantern, Aunt Tongyun walked out of the room and said to Delu: "Go and ask someone to close the palace gate."

Delu looked back at her and then looked into the room.

There were still candles in the room, and the concubine was used to going to bed so early.

He whispered: "Are you waiting for the Emperor?"

Aunt Tongyun said, "The Empress said that the Emperor will not come tonight."

"……oh."

Delu obediently took the people to close the gate of Yikun Palace. When he came back, he happened to meet Aunt Tongyun with two little palace maids to take out the used water basin towels in the room. He walked over, gently pulled Aunt Tongyun's sleeve, and said, "What's going on now, Empress?"

Aunt Tongyun glanced at him, looked back, and then whispered: "I'm not angry."

Delu said in confusion: "Strange, it was obviously fine two days ago."

Aunt Tongyun was also a little puzzled.

If the emperor decided to send troops to the country, based on their understanding, the first person to jump out and oppose it was not the imperial concubine? But this time, she didn't say anything, but sent someone to send a pot of inexplicable pot to the prince's mansion. To put it lightly, it was just the deep friendship between the imperial concubine and the prince. If it were serious, it was the private teachings of the harem and the previous dynasty. They believed that they would not be able to hide the emperor's eyes, but just to see how the emperor looked at and how to deal with it.

Then, the emperor suddenly became cold to this side.

Usually, even if the emperor has no time to come here to spend the night, he will come to check it out at night. If he really can't come, he will send some things, or the empress will send some things.

This time, which one is singing?

In the harem, if the emperor favors anyone and does not favor anyone, it is naturally the one who everyone is staring at the tightest.

Although over the years, both the elderly in the palace and the newly promoted concubines have become accustomed to the fact that the imperial concubine is favored alone, and even after witnessing the imperial concubine and the Emperor's Majesty's quarrels several times, they ignore each other in the cold war, but after all, they have almost lost their desire to compete for favor. But after all, they are in the harem, and they must not be insensitive to some things.

So, at the beginning, everyone didn't care much about the fact that the imperial concubine's uncle was dealt with by His Majesty the Emperor, but they talked a few words while eating while eating.

Later they discovered that His Majesty the Emperor had not set foot in Yikun Palace for several days.

Some people's minds began to become active.

However, after all, they have lived in the harem for so long, and they dare not act rashly, for fear that this time, they are the same as before. The two of them have been having trouble for two or three days on the surface, but before they can come back to their senses, they get together intimately, so that the others will have some thoughts in vain, but in the end they are in vain.

So everyone still dare not say anything and do whatever they want, just wait and see from a distance.

But as the days passed day by day, autumn began to begin. These days, Gu Tingqiu had been ordered by the emperor to recuperate at home, and could not even take a step in the gate. His Majesty the Emperor never stepped into the Yikun Palace again.

This time, everyone was not shocked, but was a little scared.

The concubine, who has been favored for more than ten years, finally fell out of favor?

Seeing that some concubines who were unwilling to be neglected began to move, Nan Yan was not in a hurry and was still in charge of Yikun Palace every day. He was idle and even directed several little palace maids to take out all the things in the warehouse to dry and clean up.
