National teacher, your empress is too sassy

Chapter 20 The Queen Mother Will Always Protect You

She didn't want Ah Shu to know about these innocuous things, she wanted Ah Shu to focus on what should be done.

Seeing that Queen Qiao didn't want to say anything, Gu Shu didn't ask any more questions.

Li Ronghua was also very savvy, so she got up and asked to resign: "The concubine is going back first, the empress and His Highness should go back earlier to rest!"

Queen Qiao nodded slightly and let her leave.

After she left, Concubine Shu, Concubine Liang and other concubines slowly entered the inner hall.

They put incense on Emperor Tianlin one by one, and then they knelt down behind Queen Qiao and Gu Shu in a respectful manner.

It was around noon when Concubine Shu respectfully said to Empress Qiao: "Your Majesty, you have been out of water and rice for a whole day, go and have lunch!"

Ever since the Emperor Tianlin's Zigong was placed in the Taiji Hall yesterday, Empress Qiao has been kneeling in the mourning hall to guard her spirit.

After this whole day, the formerly graceful and luxurious queen became haggard.

Hearing this, Queen Qiao shook her head: "No need, I will guard Your Majesty here."

Seeing this, Concubine Shu looked at Gu Shu.

"His Royal Highness, please persuade the Empress! Look, her face has lost all color."

Gu Shu raised her eyes and saw that her mother's back was pale, with a sad and haggard look.

She sighed slightly in her heart, and stretched out her hand to caress Queen Qiao's back.

"Mother, please listen to Concubine Shu's advice, go back and rest! Father and your wife are deeply in love, if he sees you like this, I'm afraid he will feel distressed."

She knew that Queen Qiao and Emperor Tianlin were true love, so she wanted to persuade the stubborn Queen Qiao with these words.

"Ashu, I'm fine, you can go back and rest! You have been guarding your father's place for a long time, and the water and rice have not yet entered."

"Mother! If you don't want to go to rest, the ministers will not go there either. Let us, mother and daughter, guard Father Emperor together!" Gu Shu was a little annoyed.

Her mother's queen is really full of her father!
This time, he didn't even care about his own body.

Hearing this, Queen Qiao frowned fiercely.

"Ashu, you are obedient!"

"Hmph!" Gu Shu snorted coldly, kneeling on her own.

Seeing this, Queen Qiao frowned even more.

Seeing that Empress Qiao was about to speak out to reprimand Gu Shu, Concubine Liang said softly, "Empress Empress, even if you don't cherish your phoenix body, you should think about Her Royal Highness the Empress Dowager!"

"Your Highness is suddenly entrusted with an important task, and she must be panicking at this moment. How much should you love her!"

The coldness and anger in the Queen's eyes gradually dissipated with Concubine Liang's words.

Seeing that her face softened a little, Concubine Liang continued: "The only person Her Royal Highness can trust and rely on now is you! You must not have any accidents, otherwise, Her Royal Highness may be..."

Speaking of this, Concubine Liang didn't say any more.

Queen Qiao listened to her words.

"Sister Liang Concubine is right." She said flatly.

"Ashu, go back with me and rest!" She pulled Gu Shu up together.

Gu Shu nodded again and again, and then the mother and daughter went to offer incense to Emperor Tianlin together.

After burning the incense, Empress Qiao said to Concubine Liang: "I want to go back to rest for a while, here I will leave it to you, Concubine Shu."

Concubine Shu and Concubine Liang thanked each other again and again.

Then, she and Gu Shu left the Tai Chi Hall together.

"Mother, you are the only son of mine now!" Gu Shu suddenly tugged at the hem of Queen Qiao's clothes, with tears in her eyes, she looked at her mother dependently.

Touching her eyes, Queen Qiao's heart tightened.

She hurriedly took Gu Shu's hand, and made a promise: "The queen mother will not abandon you, and the queen mother will always protect you well."
