Chapter 717 The Tragic Concubine 24
The Emperor was so happy that he went crazy, but the Empress Dowager's situation was much more complicated.
Although I was happy that the emperor finally had a queen, I didn't know why I felt uncomfortable in my heart.
But no matter what, the empress dowager was still relieved that the emperor finally had a queen, and she immediately sent someone to invite the emperor over.
When the emperor came to the empress dowager's palace, he was smiling from ear to ear.
"Finally, good news has come from the harem. The emperor must be going crazy with joy!" Seeing the emperor grinning from ear to ear, the empress dowager also had a smile on her face.
"I am really going crazy with joy," the emperor said as he sat down. "After so many years, the concubines in the harem have finally brought good news. I am finally going to have a successor. How can I not be so happy that I am going crazy?"
"Yes! Finally there is good news from the harem, and the stone that weighed on my heart has finally been lifted," the Queen Mother said happily while looking at the Emperor, "Wu'er is indeed a lucky man. Not long after he was brought into the palace, the concubines in the harem brought good news. The best decision I have made in my life is to bring Wu'er into the palace."
Wu'er is the second legitimate son of Prince Chen.
"Your Majesty, Wu'er has done a great job. You must praise him well." The Queen Mother continued:
The emperor nodded and agreed with the empress dowager's words. After all, he also felt that his nephew Wu'er was indeed a blessed man.
"Oh, right," the Queen Mother continued, "The harem finally brought good news, but I'm really worried about the pregnant concubines, so I'd better let me take care of them myself!"
The Queen Mother said this completely out of good intentions. She was just afraid that the pregnant concubines would be harmed by others. The Queen, in particular, needed to be more vigilant.
But what the Queen Mother didn't know was that her words almost made the Emperor's expression gloomy. His originally happy mood became gloomy because of the Queen Mother's words.
"Mother is already old, how can I bear to see her work so hard?" The emperor said with a smile on his face. "I will personally have someone take care of the pregnant concubines and ensure that they give birth to their babies safely, so that you don't have to worry about it."
The Queen Mother was stunned for a moment, then she smiled and said, "Since the Emperor has said so, I won't bother."
A smile was on her face, but the Queen Mother felt heart sinking.
What does the emperor mean? Does he not trust her as a mother and think that she will harm his offspring?
It would be a lie to say that she wasn't angry, but the empress dowager also knew that now was not the time to lose her temper with the emperor. The emperor was already suspicious of her. If she fell out with him at this time, wouldn't the emperor be even more suspicious of her?
But then again, why did the emperor suddenly become suspicious of her? Was someone gossiping about her in front of the emperor, or was it because she brought Wu'er into the palace that the emperor became estranged from her as a mother?
When she thought of this, the Queen Mother almost laughed out of anger. After all, she brought Wu'er into the palace for the good of the Emperor, didn't she? But the Emperor, this unfilial son, was suspicious of her.
At this moment, the Queen Mother was really angry and heartbroken.
"Mother," the emperor said after a moment's deliberation, "Wu'er has been in the palace for some time. I think Prince Chen and Princess Chen must miss their child. Mother, please send Wu'er back to Prince Chen's mansion as soon as possible!"
The Queen Mother could no longer hold back her expression, and her face darkened: "Why? Could it be that I want to keep Wu'er in the palace for a while longer? Would this bother the Emperor?"
"Your Majesty, don't forget that the concubines in the harem will bring you good news. This is the blessing that Wu'er brought you, but you are so good that you want to destroy the bridge after crossing the river as soon as you get this blessing. This greed is too ugly!"
The empress dowager wanted to endure it, but she really couldn't. Once her temper flared up, she had to argue with her son. She decided not to send Wu'er out of the palace, but wanted to see what the emperor, this unfilial son, could do to her.
"During this period of time, I don't feel that time is hard because Wu'er is with me in the palace. In short, I am very happy to have Wu'er with me," said the Queen Mother. "So I want Wu'er to stay with me in the palace for a while longer. If the emperor is still filial to me, then don't mention sending Wu'er out of the palace, otherwise you will be an unfilial son."
The emperor's face darkened. "Mother, you want Wu'er to stay in the palace. Is it because you want him to spend more time with you, or is there some ulterior motive? I'm afraid only you know it best."
As he spoke, the emperor stood up and said, "But I still want to remind you, mother. Don't forget that I am also your biological son and the ruler of a country. So I advise you to put aside those calculations that you shouldn't have. Otherwise, I can't guarantee what I will do."
As soon as he finished speaking, the emperor walked outside.
The Queen Mother was naturally furious. She pointed at the Emperor's back and cursed, "Unfilial son, unfilial son, is he threatening me? Is he trying to anger me to death?"
"Queen Dowager, please calm down," Nanny Ding quickly smoothed her chest for her. "The Emperor has always been the most filial to you. He certainly didn't mean to anger you with what he said just now. Please don't let yourself get hurt because of the Emperor's slip of the tongue."
"You don't have to speak for this unfilial son," the Queen Mother was obviously a little calmer, "this unfilial son just wants to piss me off to death. I just can't understand why he is suspicious of me just because I brought Wu'er into the palace. But he doesn't think about it. If I hadn't brought Wu'er into the palace, would the concubines in the harem have been able to spread good news?"
"I am really pissed off," the Queen Mother waved away Nanny Ding's hand that was resting on her chest. "He is an unfilial son and wants to send Wu'er out of the palace, but I insist on keeping Wu'er in the palace. I want to see what this unfilial son can do to me."
Nanny Ding opened her mouth to say something to persuade her, but seeing that the Queen Mother was furious, she could only swallow her words.
Forget it, let's wait until the Queen Mother calms down before persuading her! Tell her not to lose touch with the Emperor because of her grandson.
At the same time, in the Queen's palace.
"Waste, waste," the Queen was angry at this time, "that waste Du Guiren is really useless."
"My queen, what should we do now? Are we just going to watch someone else give birth to an heir?" Chun Yi said:
"Wishful thinking," the Queen said with a sinister expression, "But the Emperor finally has another child, so he must be very concerned about those pregnant concubines. Even if I want to take action against the children in their bellies, I must come up with a foolproof plan and not act too hastily."
