Chapter 113 No Joke
There is a separate courtyard in Princess Chu Mushuang's mansion, which is very close to her dormitory. She has never used it. Jiang Qiyun has been there twice and felt that the environment was quiet and elegant, and the scenery was beautiful. It was really good, so she readily agreed.
"Thank you Fourth Sister for your kindness. I just don't bother you to spend any money."
Chu Mushuang smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, you and I sisters don't need to say thank you. Aunt Huang, I and I will take our leave now."
Chu Wanxiang nodded: "Okay, you guys should be careful."
Chu Mushuang pulled Jiang Qiyun out of Qifeng Palace, got on the sedan chair, and waved to Chu Muyang: "Muyang, get in the car."
"Okay." Chu Muyang got on the carriage, "Let's go."
"Yeah." Chu Mushuang caressed her abdomen.
"Fourth sister."
"Um?"
"Is the child in the Queen's belly unhealthy?"
"I...I'm not sure."
Chu Mushuang fell silent and said after a while: "I heard that the emperor's wife was framed by someone. Who is that person?"
"I don't know. I have always suspected that she and the assassin were accomplices. But there is no evidence. Both the emperor's brother and mother said that she is innocent." Jiang Qiyun lowered her head, with a hint of pain hidden in her eyes, "The queen is my only sister. I
I hope she is okay. I hope she is not wronged, otherwise the emperor and the empress may be heartbroken."
"Do you know something?" Chu Mu Shuang probed.
Jiang Qiyun sighed: "I heard from the emperor that he was once in danger in southern Xinjiang. Fortunately, the queen arrived in time to save him. The person behind the assassination was the queen."
Chu Mushuang was extremely surprised: "We don't know about this. Why did the queen do this? Does she like the emperor's brother?"
"It's not like that." Jiang Qiyun said, "If the queen really loves the emperor, she will never murder the emperor behind his back. I guess this may involve the queen's family interests."
"Family interests?" Chu Mushuang frowned, "Uncle Huang doesn't care about the affairs of the harem."
"You are too naive. Although my father does not participate in political affairs, he still controls the lifeline of Chao Gang." Jiang Qiyun sarcastically said, "If he does not want the emperor to continue to be emperor and just arranges an excuse to depose the emperor, who would dare to say anything?"
Chu Mushuang opened her mouth but made no sound.
"These are not things that you and I can consider." Jiang Qiyun changed the topic, "My father was seriously injured tonight, and I'm worried that it will affect his recovery."
Chu Muyang nodded in agreement: "The Queen Mother is absolutely right, we will go to the palace to visit our father tomorrow."
...
"Your Majesty, the imperial doctor has completed the diagnosis and treatment and issued a prescription." Liu Tian took the prescription and presented it to Chu Xiaotian.
Chu Xiaotian looked at the prescription, his face softened a little, and said: "I'm fine. I'll tell the imperial kitchen to boil the medicine according to the prescription and send it to the palace for the Queen Mother to take."
"I obey." Liu Tian withdrew.
"You are also tired, please go back and rest."
"I, my concubine, retire." Everyone resigned one after another.
Returning to Qifeng Palace, Chu Wanchuan hurriedly asked Gong E to prepare hot water and bath supplies.
After washing up, the two of them lay down on the bed to rest. Not long after they closed their eyes, Chu Muhan walked in.
Chu Wanchuan quickly stood up: "Why is the emperor here?"
Chu Muhan put his arms around her slender and soft waist, pulled her into his arms, and whispered: "Go to sleep."
"Yes." Chu Wanchuan snuggled into his warm embrace and gradually fell asleep.
Chu Muhan opened his eyes and looked at the sleeping Chu Wanchuan. A slight smile appeared on his lips. He lowered his head and kissed the sweat beads on her forehead. He closed his eyes gently and fell asleep.
Early the next morning, Chu Wanchuan was awakened by a burst of baby crying. He opened his eyes and saw Chu Muhan leaning on the bedpost, staring at the infant son with a kind smile on his lips.
"The child is crying!" Chu Wanxiang said softly, lifting the quilt.
Chu Muhan stood up and walked to the couch: "Give the child to the wet nurse."
"Yes." The wet nurse respectfully took the child away.
Chu Wanxiang glanced at the child's back and said, "Your Majesty, let's go out for a walk. We haven't been out for a long time.
.”
"That's fine." Chu Muhan took Chu Wanxiang's jade hand and walked out.
The two came to the garden pavilion, and Chu Muhan asked: "Wanchuan, what have you been doing recently?"
Chu Wanchuan raised his head and said, "It's not about raising a baby."
Chu Muhan said, "I'll ask Liu Tian to find a nanny for you."
"No need." Chu Wanchuan shook his head, "Mom is too clumsy and not suitable for me. Besides, I'm not even three months old yet."
"That's fine." Chu Muhan smiled and asked, "By the way, how do you get along with the queen?"
"The Queen has a good personality and is amiable to me. She even invited me to the palace to accompany her." Chu Mushuang smiled slightly, as if she was recalling yesterday's banquet, "It's just that I always feel like something is weird."
Chu Muhan frowned and thought.
"What's wrong?" Chu Mu Shuang asked.
Chu Muhan shook his head: "Maybe I'm overthinking it. Please pay more attention to the queen's actions."
"Don't worry. I will pay attention." Chu Mu Shuang said.
"Thank you for your hard work." Chu Mohan rubbed her hair, "I will take you to enjoy the snow tonight."
Chu Mushuang smiled broadly and said coquettishly: "This is what you said, don't forget it."
Chu Mohan pinched the tip of her nose and said, "You have no joke."
In the evening, the two of them left the palace on horseback and went for an outing in the countryside. Because they did not have to abide by the rules, Chu Mohan could go out openly.
During the outing, Chu Mushuang asked, "Where do you plan to take me to play, Brother Huang?"
Chu Mohan replied: "There are plum blossoms blooming just right in the villa. Let's go and enjoy the plum blossoms."
"Okay." Chu Mushuang agreed happily, "I want to eat barbecue."
"Well, let's go on a picnic."...
"Wow!"
The two changed their clothes and came to a nearby mountain top. There was silence all around. Chu Mu Shuang looked into the distance. The scenery was beautiful and the air was cool and refreshing.
Chu Mushuang was very excited. With the support of Chu Muhan, she walked slowly, feeling the crisp autumn air and the beautiful mountains and rivers. Suddenly, there was a burst of rapid footsteps coming from far away. The two of them turned to look at the official road down the hillside, and saw a group of people.
The guards surrounded several people and ran over quickly.
"Brother Imperial, did something happen?" Chu Mu Shuang stopped and asked.
Chu Muhan pulled her and hid behind a big tree, watching the front carefully.
A guard came over in a hurry and reported: "Your Majesty, the envoy from the Xiling Kingdom is here to see you."
Chu Mohan raised his eyebrows lightly: "Xiao them over."
After a while, the envoy from Xiling Kingdom came to see him.
Chu Mohan glanced at the envoy who was kneeling on the ground and said calmly: "Envoy of Xiling Kingdom, what are you doing in the capital?"
The envoy of the Xiling Kingdom kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty the Emperor, I have been ordered by my emperor to bring a gift from the Xiling Kingdom to congratulate the emperor on his accession to the throne." After saying this, he presented the gift slip with both hands.
"I accept the kindness of the Xiling Kingdom with my heart." Chu Mohan ordered the guards to accept the gift list, "As a guest, I am here."
"Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty." The envoy kowtowed, stood up, and stood with his hands lowered.
