Chapter 77
After the morning court ended on the second day, many ministers who had no friendship with Yan Qingan on weekdays came to bid him farewell.

Yan Qing'an knew it well, before going to court today, someone in the palace told him that his father had rested in his mother's harem last night.

In such a situation, the former dynasty and the harem had no choice but to curry favor with the queen and prince.

After Yan Qingan bid farewell to the ministers who came to chat with him one by one with a smile, he felt a little more relaxed, but there was a familiar voice behind him.

"His Royal Highness, stay here." Shen Yuzhi stood beside Gu Hengyu and said to Yan Qing'an.

Yan Qing'an turned around after hearing this, and asked, "What's the matter, Mr. Shen?"

Shen Yuzhi was a little uncomfortable hearing Yan Qing'an addressing him. Although he is now the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, most officials in the court are his father's friends, and they only call him by name when they see him. "Three characters are still a little dazed.

Didn't Gu Hengyu have the same thoughts as Shen Yuzhi, but he reacted faster than him, and answered Yan Qing'an's words first: "I heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was unwell last night, I wonder if he feels better now?"

Because of the events during the day, everyone paid close attention to the East Palace, and the crown prince sent the imperial doctor to enter the East Palace late at night, which naturally attracted attention.

Yan Qing'an was stunned for a moment before thinking of the reason, and said to Gu Hengyu, "Thank you, Young Master Gu, for your concern. It's just that I have some cold and some headaches. I'll be fine when I wake up this morning after using up the medicine."

Everyone only knew that Yan Qing'an passed on the imperial doctor late at night, but they didn't know why. If it was said that the rash was caused by eating shrimp, there would be discussions, not to mention that the shrimp was given by the emperor.

It was also thanks to Gu Hengyu's words that he thought deeply about this matter.

"It's fine if nothing happens." Gu Hengyu replied.

Shen Yuzhi also said, "Yes, it's fine if there's nothing wrong."

Yan Qing'an already admired Gu Hengyu, and was very satisfied with Shen Yuzhi, who had played with Gu Hengyu since he was a child. After hearing this, he remembered that Shen Yu hadn't gone to court a few days ago, and asked with concern: "Mr. What is the reason for taking a few days off?"

It's okay not to mention this, but when Shen Yuzhi mentioned this, he thought of the humiliation of lying on the bed unable to move a few days ago, and now just thinking about it hurts a little.

"It's just that some unspeakable things happened at home, nothing, nothing." Shen Yuzhi naturally wouldn't tell the truth, and said vaguely what to do.

Seeing this, Yan Qing'an no longer asked, but just nodded.

Gu Hengyu who was at the side suddenly asked, "Did the prince see Chen'er when he entered the palace yesterday?"

Gu Hengyu is usually only called by Xie Chen's full name, and their relationship naturally does not need to be called by their first names to appear close.

It's just that in front of Yan Qing'an, he didn't know why he wanted to call her Chen'er like this.

Yan Qing'an felt a little strange, but the emperor, queen and others all called Xie Chen like this, and he never felt that there was anything wrong.

"I spent most of my time in the palace yesterday, so I didn't have a chance to see Chen'er." Yan Qing'an thought for a while and replied.

Gu Hengyu nodded when he heard the words, because he was delayed yesterday because of the Dali Temple incident and did not enter the palace, so he doesn't know how Xie Chen is now.

Regarding the matter of thanking Chen, Yan Qing'an would naturally ask more, "What's wrong? Did something happen to Chen'er?"

The fact that the empress was trapped in the Ye Ting Palace was kept a secret. Apart from not wanting to worry Yan Qing'an, she was also afraid that someone with a heart would secretly push the matter to Xie Chen. The empress did not want Xie Chen to take risks.

"It's okay, she left something with me, I thought that if the prince saw it, I would help bring it to her." Gu Hengyu didn't tell Yan Qing'an about the Ye Ting Palace, but just found a reason to dismiss him.

When these words fell into Yan Qing'an's ears, it undoubtedly showed the intimacy between Gu Hengyu and Xie Chen, and he replied: "Master Gu can give me what Chen'er left behind, and I will give it to Chen when I enter the palace next time." It's not too late."

"I'm going to enter the palace in the next two days, so I won't bother His Highness the Prince." Gu Hengyu refused.

Yan Qing'an nodded and gave up after hearing it, without forcing it.

The previous dynasty was just as the emperor had imagined, the wind had gradually turned in favor of the prince, and the wind was going smoothly. The emperor couldn't help but secretly feel proud, and continued to stay in the queen's palace tonight according to the original plan.
On his way to the queen's palace at night, he thought that although he had slept on the ground for the past two days, the queen had given him a thick quilt, he was happy, and his steps quickened a bit.

But as soon as he entered the door, he felt that the atmosphere in the palace was a bit cold, and even the maid who had seen him happy for the queen these two days just bowed her head and hurriedly left.

The queen sat by the bed, not looking at him indifferently like in the past, but looking directly at him.

The emperor couldn't help getting chills down his back, approached but kept a distance, and asked tentatively: "But today... what happened?"

The queen didn't speak, but just looked at him quietly.

Could it be that the queen was thanking herself in this way when she heard about the change in the attitude of the former ministers towards their mother and child?

After thinking about it, the emperor organized his words and coughed before speaking: "You don't need to thank me, I know what you want."

Feeling that it was quite embarrassing for the queen to thank her, he first opened his mouth to let her not have to thank him, and waited for her to be moved by his empathy.

It's just that the reaction was different from what she expected. The queen sneered when she heard his words as if she had heard some joke.

"Your abnormalities these past few days are for today?" the queen looked at the emperor and asked.

Hearing this, the emperor didn't react for a while, and asked: "What today? What is there today?"

Could it be that the concubines in the harem were jealous and came to trouble the queen?But how could the queen tell him her grievances and still be so angry.

The queen stood up and approached the emperor.

The emperor didn't feel happy because of her approaching, but felt oppressed in his heart, and retreated subconsciously.

"Don't you know that Qing'an will develop a red rash after eating fish and shrimp, the itching is unbearable?"

The emperor was taken aback when he heard the words, he really didn't know.

"Don't you know that everyone is eyeing the crown prince's position?"

Wouldn't he be telling everyone that he doesn't care about the prince by doing this.

"I...not, I..." The emperor wanted to explain.

But the queen didn't give him a chance, and directly interrupted him: "I know that the emperor thinks that I don't know how to praise you, and I don't follow the trend to give you a step down. I also know that because Qing'an has me as a mother, the position of prince is not safe and acceptable. People laughed at him, because he was allergic to eating fish and shrimp when he was young, the people in the harem planned to almost kill him, and when he was weak and unconscious, he murmured not to tell you, lest you worry."

The emperor was shocked. That period of time should be when the relationship between him and the queen had just broken. He told the people around him not to tell him anything about the queen, but he didn't expect...

The queen paused for a moment, and then said again: "But now, in order to satisfy your thoughts, you shot at him."

These words undoubtedly pierced the emperor's heart like silver needles, and he didn't know what to say.
