Chapter 605 The Last Straw

"Your Majesty, have you always thought of concubines like this? Empress Song's eyes were filled with tears, and she seemed to be looking at the emperor in disbelief.

The old emperor didn't speak, but looked at Empress Song coldly, with disgust in his eyes.

Empress Song was sure that the old emperor would not be able to produce evidence of her guilt, so she retreated and said, "If your majesty thinks that those things were done by concubines, then concubines have nothing to say, but no matter how much your majesty hates concubines, concubines I just hope that Your Majesty will not anger the crown prince, the crown prince is pure in nature and should not be implicated by my mother."

The old emperor looked at Empress Song's pretentious appearance, and his eyes became more disgusted. Just as he was about to say something, he heard Eunuch Xu complaining outside.

"Your Majesty, the imperial concubine is awake and wants to see you."

The old emperor turned and left the room without looking at Empress Song again.

Empress Song watched the bright yellow figure leave, her body slumped on the ground, she bit her lower lip with her teeth, almost bleeding from the bite, she did not expect that the emperor would be so cruel and heartless, ignoring the relationship between husband and wife for so many years .

Empress Song's eyes flashed with sternness, since you are ruthless, then don't blame me for being unrighteous!

The old emperor walked out of the palace, and said coldly to Eunuch Xu next to him: "The empress has lost her virtue. From now on, she will stay in Kunhe Palace and contemplate her mistakes behind closed doors. She is not allowed to leave Kunhe Palace, and no one is allowed to visit her."

A flash of astonishment flashed in Eunuch Xu's eyes, he immediately lowered his head, concealed his emotions, and bowed in response: "Yes, Your Majesty!"

Eunuch Xu left Kunhe Palace with the old emperor, and sent a few eunuchs to guard the gate of Kunhe Palace.

Zhou Hanhan didn't know that Empress Song had been grounded. She was lying on the bed at this moment, looking at the soft and small guy beside her.

Zhou Hanhan's eyes were very complicated. Although she knew that she was pregnant with twin girls, she couldn't hide her disappointment when the child was born.

"It would be great if you were a boy..." Zhou Hanhan murmured softly.

If she gave birth to a prince, she would have a bargaining chip to win over the queen and the prince.It's a pity... her luck is always a little bit worse.

Zhou Hanhan's face was pale, and there was a thick haze in his eyes.

She stared at the child for a while, then let the nurse take the child away.He raised his head and asked Wei Zi, the grand maid next to him, "Has Your Majesty not come yet?"

Wei Zi immediately replied cautiously: "As soon as you wake up, the servant will let Xiao Chunzi go over to inform Eunuch Xu, and he should be here soon."

"Is Your Majesty at the Empress's place?" Zhou Hanhan asked again.

"Yes, ma'am." Wei Zi answered more carefully, for fear of offending the master.

Unexpectedly, instead of being angry, Zhou Hanhan couldn't help but raise the corners of her lips slightly. She sent so many clues to the emperor, and now the emperor must already know what Queen Song did.Now it's just the straw that breaks the camel's back.And this straw, she will hand it over to His Majesty soon.

"The emperor is here~~" Zhou Hanhan was thinking, when a thin and clear voice sounded outside the door.

The maids and maids serving in the house immediately bowed and saluted.

The old emperor quickly walked in from the door.At a glance, he saw Zhou Hanhan who was struggling to sit up from the bed.

"My concubine, lie down!" The old emperor stepped forward a few steps, and supported Zhou Hanhan's shoulder.

Zhou Hanhan fell into the arms of the old emperor, and said in a fluffy voice: "The concubine can't get up to greet your majesty, and I hope your majesty will forgive me..."

"There's no need to see each other like this between you and me." The old emperor patted Zhou Hanhan's shoulder lightly, his tone extremely gentle.

When Zhou Hanhan heard this, his eyes were red immediately, and he wanted to cry, "Silang, Yun'er is useless, I couldn't give birth to a little prince with you..."

The emperor embraced Zhou Hanhan in his arms, sighed and said, "As long as it is the child of Yun'er and I, I will like the prince and princess. If Yun'er likes the prince, we will work harder in the future."

Zhou Hanhan was still crying, but when he heard the old emperor's words, he immediately blushed and said coquettishly, "Your Majesty, you are making fun of Yun'er again."

Maybe it was because the emperor's consolation worked, Zhou Hanhan seemed to be in a better mood. She looked up at the old emperor and asked, "Silang hasn't seen the little princess yet, right? She looks like you." Said Then, he ordered the wet nurse to take the baby out.

It is true that the royal family has not had a baby for many years. Although Zhou Hanhan only gave birth to a daughter, she is his own daughter after all, and the old emperor likes it no matter what he thinks.

"You have eyebrows and eyes like Zhen, and a face like Yun'er. You will definitely be a great beauty in the future. This is the jewel in the palm of Zhen and Yun'er. Her nickname is Zhuzhuer. What do you think of Yun'er?"

Zhou Hanhan looked at the daughter in the old emperor's arms, and smiled very gently, "Zhuzhuer, mother's Zhuzhuer, mother only hopes that you can grow up safely and healthily..."

As she spoke, her tears fell again, and the silent tears quickly turned into low sobs.

Seeing that Zhou Han was crying, the old emperor hurriedly handed the child over to the wet nurse, and asked with concern, "What's wrong with Yun'er?"

"The concubine thinks of Zhuzhu'er's little sister, if she can be born safely, she must be as beautiful as Zhuzhu'er..."

Thinking of the baby girl who died young, the old emperor couldn't help but sighed, and put Zhou Hanhan in his arms again, and softly persuaded: "That child has no fate with us, so don't be sad, you are still in the moonlight now. Don't be too sad."

"Silang, it's my concubine who failed to protect my child." Zhou Han said with tears in his eyes, looking at the old emperor with great guilt.

The old emperor heard something in her words, and asked with a frown, "What does Yun'er mean by that?"

Zhou Han wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, lowered his eyes, and his voice trembled slightly, "I dare not say..."

"In front of me, why don't you dare to say it!" The emperor's face was slightly dark, and his words were dissatisfied.

"Because this matter...may be related to other empresses in the harem." Zhou Hanhan's body trembled more and more, as if he was very frightened.

The old emperor frowned, patted Zhou Hanyu's back lightly with his big hand, and said comfortingly: "I love my concubine, but it's okay to say."

Only then did Zhou Hanhan pluck up his courage, and spoke slowly, "Because I'm pregnant with twins, I can't sleep very well at night on weekdays. Lady Yan is on good terms with my concubine, and I often go to Luhua Palace to accompany my concubine. Talking, she knew that Chen Qie couldn't sleep well, so she told Chen Qie that a soothing incense she was using was very effective in helping sleep, Chen Qie was moved by it, and asked her for some to use.

But after just one night, the concubine became pregnant and almost lost the two children..."

At the end, Zhou Hanhan's eyelashes were filled with tears again, and he was about to cry.
