Long Live the Empress

Chapter 203 Scandal (1)

Just as Concubine Shu was about to tell the old emperor about her grievances, the second prince woke up. When he opened his eyes, he saw Concubine Shu kneeling on the ground and being scolded by the queen...

"Father..." The second prince supported his weak body and got off the couch, kneeling directly in front of the old emperor, "Your son pays respects to your father, mother, and aunt! Your son has caught a cold recently and has neglected to greet your father and mother. Please forgive me!"

"My son, how do you feel now? Are you still dizzy?" Concubine Shu wanted to touch the Second Prince's forehead, but the Second Prince subconsciously avoided her.

"I'm fine, mother, don't worry!" The Second Prince did not have a good face towards Concubine Shu, and just answered in a distant tone.

Concubine Shu withdrew her hand awkwardly, and pursed her lips with a fake smile. "That's good, that's good..."

The Queen saw that the mother and son had already separated, and a slight smile appeared on her originally serious face, "It's good that you are fine! Your Majesty, why does it seem that the Second Prince is weaker than the Crown Prince?"

When Concubine Shu and the Second Prince heard this, they were shocked. The Queen was indeed tricky! If they were slightly abnormal, the Queen would magnify it infinitely and publicize it in front of the old emperor! This time, the Second Prince's fever turned into a weak prince in the Queen's mouth!

"Since you are not feeling well, then kneel down and pay your respects!" The old emperor did not ask about the second prince's condition, but waved his hand to send him away.

The Second Prince's heart felt as if it had sunk into an ice cellar. He knelt stiffly in greeting. "Yes! I will take my leave!"

Seeing that the matter here had been resolved, Aunt Su winked at Zhenzhu, and Zhenzhu secretly left the crowd.

Zhenzhu arrived at the palace and called Yue Jinghong softly, but got no response. In order not to delay her master's orders, Zhenzhu screamed at the top of her voice: "Ah..." and then hid behind the palace door.

When the people who were preparing to leave next door heard someone screaming, they huddled together in groups of three or five, fearing that an assassin had broken into the palace and endangered their lives!

The chief eunuch was about to order the guards to check, but was stopped by the old emperor. "I want to go and see it myself!"

"Your Majesty! Let the guards go and take a look first! Just in case..." the Queen followed behind the old emperor and advised.

The old emperor turned a deaf ear and walked towards the palace with vigorous steps. How dare everyone leave? They could only follow behind the old emperor and look around vigilantly.

When everyone entered the palace, Pearl sneaked out from behind the door and followed the crowd, doing it without anyone noticing...

When everyone was looking for the "assassin", they heard rustling sounds of men and women in the house, and everyone looked at each other in surprise!

Who is so bold as to do such a shameful thing in the royal compound?

Some time ago, the prince was seen by everyone because he was with Fan Ronghua. Who would have thought that such a thing would happen at this winter banquet?

Everyone took a look at the master of the harem, and then quickly looked for the prince beside the queen. Fortunately, the prince was still there!

Whenever the Queen thought of the prince being watched like this, she would get furious. "Humph! Go and bring the person inside out to me! I want to see who is so presumptuous in front of the Emperor!"

The eunuch beside him opened the door in a threatening manner, but the people inside were so engrossed that they didn't even notice someone coming in.

Aunt Su saw that the time had come, so she pretended to look around anxiously. A lady who wanted to curry favor with the Yue family asked, "What are you looking at, Aunt Su?"

"Look for Princess Jing'an again! She went to change clothes a quarter of an hour ago and hasn't come back yet! I'm really worried!" Aunt Su put her hand on her chest and tiptoed to look at the crowd with a worried look.

Pearl ran over from behind the crowd in fear, "Aunt! Miss... Miss..."

"What's wrong with the eldest lady?" Aunt Su secretly praised Zhenzhu for her cleverness and said she would reward her handsomely after the task was accomplished!

The ladies also pricked up their ears, waiting for Pearl's answer.

"My lady...change your clothes right here in this yard!"
