After Pei Yao left, the queen's expression turned completely gloomy.

"After all, the emperor still loves Concubine Zhao and her son more."

"Perhaps it's Concubine Zhao's flirtatious tricks. I guess she just wanted to stop the emperor from coming. Now that our fifth princes have stopped, the emperor was tempted, so he wanted to go again." Tim Mo comforted him hurriedly.

The queen narrowed her eyes and said, "If you don't have any means, you have to be willing to use her. After all, the emperor likes her."

The two maids looked at each other and Minsi spoke again.

"My Lady, don't think too much about these things. You have been tired for a long time. Please let me prepare food in the small kitchen."

"Well, let's go."

The queen waved her hand and told everyone to retreat, leaving her alone to guard the fifth prince.

Looking at the sleeping faces of the fifth prince on the couch, the queen, as a mother, felt distressed in her eyes.

Can she still trust that the emperor will act according to the ancestral rules?

Although according to the rules, the prince is selected in the order of direct descendants and elders, the virtuous are the first, but the decision-making power is in Pei Yao's hands. If he does things according to his own preferences.

The Queen became increasingly uneasy.

She originally felt that Pei Yao respected her, valued the Lu family, and always respected the rules. No matter who he favored, he would not let his beloved concubine act arrogantly in front of her, and would not embarrass her.

Therefore, the queen firmly believed that Pei Yao would follow the steps and establish the crown prince when the fifth prince turned one year old.

But now there is none, which means that Pei Yao has other considerations in mind.

The eldest prince and the third prince have already stepped aside, so this consideration must only be given to the fourth prince.

Especially today, both children were sick, but Pei Yao seemed to be more worried about the fourth prince.

Preference, after a long time of preference, the heart will be biased, and there will be no respect for rules.

It turns out that the queen is not that afraid of Fang Yun, and Fang Yun's family background is not good, but now the Duke of Qin, who has a heavy army, has become Fang Yun's relative because of a marriage contract.

A queen who comes from a wealthy family knows very well the importance of having a powerful mother clan.

Today, she was originally agitated and worried because of the fifth prince's fall into the water and illness. Now that she is thinking about these things, especially when Pei Yao went to Yuzhang Palace just now because he was worried about the fourth prince, the queen felt that a fire was gradually burning in her heart. stand up.

What a hassle. All the troubles, things that made her unhappy and uncomfortable came from Yuzhang Palace.

It would be nice if Yuzhang Palace was gone.

Such thoughts grew wildly, and the queen was suddenly startled by herself.

He clenched his fists and felt the dull pain from his nails pricking his palms to calm himself down.

At the Yuzhang Palace, Fang Yun didn't know the queen's thoughts.

When Pei Yao came over, the fourth prince had just vomited.

He hadn't eaten anything and only drank some medicine. The vomited out liquid was full of foul-smelling liquid, which showed that the child was uncomfortable.

After spitting it out, the body temperature that had just subsided started to heat up again.

Under such circumstances, Fang Yun had no time to think about other things. He focused all his attention on the sick child.

Pei Yao came over. Seeing that the situation was not good, he was worried.

In the end, I didn't leave at night, so I stayed with him in Yuzhang Palace.

After learning these things, the Queen naturally felt even more unhappy.

However, Pei Yao didn't just care about the fourth prince blindly. He traveled to two places every day.

But there were still vague rumors in the harem, saying that the emperor loved the fourth prince more.

The queen got angry and beat these gossips severely, and drove them all out of the palace.

Fang Yun has not been paying attention to things outside these days.

It wasn't until half a month later that the fourth prince's body fully recovered and his heart returned to his stomach. After hearing this news, I knew it well.

The queen is very concerned about this, otherwise she would not act like this.

There are many people who gossip in the harem, but who cares about being so strict in normal times?

Raising his hand to rub his temples, Fang Yun felt indescribably uncomfortable.

"Your Majesty has lost weight in the past few days. A message came in from outside saying that the fifth girl will arrive in Kyoto this afternoon and will have to go to the palace to pay her respects. Seeing your Majesty like this, you must be worried." Yan Weirou vocal channel.

After hearing this, Fang Yun became more serious and said, "Fifth sister is going back to Beijing all the way. It's a long journey. Let her rest in the Duke's Mansion for two days and then enter the palace."

"Yes, I ordered someone to deliver the message." Yan slightly bowed.

"I've been feeling dizzy these past few days. Fortunately, you are by my side to keep an eye on me." Fang Yun sighed.

Qingrong said softly, "This is all the responsibility of the servants. Your Majesty is worried about the Fourth Prince and has been very tired during this period. I ordered someone to stew donkey-hide gelatin soup. Your Majesty, please eat some later to replenish your energy." Blood."

"Okay." Fang Yun nodded.

The next day.

Fengxuan Palace wishes you well.

As usual, the queen asked about the fourth prince's situation.

It's just going through the motions.

As a legitimate mother, you always have to care about something.

Fang Yun answered truthfully and asked politely about the fifth prince's health.

After they had exchanged greetings, Wanbi spoke.

"Queen, I have a favor to ask."

"Tell me what it is." The queen waved her hand.

Wan concubine stood up and said, "I haven't seen my mother's family for a long time. Now, my sister-in-law happened to be pregnant, so I wanted to meet her. However, my mother was getting cold in the spring and was having intermittent calls. Yes, I have been feeling unwell, I am really worried about you."

It's okay to want to see her family, and Wan's reasons are common. The queen naturally won't make it particularly difficult for her now, so she nodded in agreement.

Wan Bin also bowed to thank her and sat back.

Fang Yun looked at her silently, feeling that it was not that simple that Wan Bin suddenly wanted to see her family.

However, nothing could be seen at this moment. Nowadays, people around Wanbi are strict-mouthed and it is difficult to inquire about her, so we can only wait and see what happens.

But it sounds like a coincidence.

Wanbi's natal family entered the palace two days later. On this day, Fang Jin also entered the palace, together with the old lady of Qin's palace, her mother-in-law, Mrs. Huo.

"My wife, please see the noble concubine!"

Mother-in-law and daughter-in-law saluted together.

Fang Yun smiled and stepped forward to help the two of them up, "Quickly excuse yourself, Qingrong, and serve tea."

The three of them sat down, and Mrs. Huo spoke first.

"Your Majesty, your complexion is not very good. I heard that the Fourth Prince was ill during this period. I think your Majesty is tired from taking care of the Fourth Prince day and night. My wife specially brought some good supplements. Don't be dissatisfied, Your Majesty, please replenish your health, Jin'er. I have also prepared some gadgets brought back from Northern Xinjiang for the fourth prince, which are quite good to relieve his boredom."

With that said, he motioned to the maid behind him to come forward.

Qingrong and Yanwei also immediately stepped forward to take it.

Fang Yun curled his lips, "It's hard to worry about the old lady. How is her health now? Jin'er should still be sensible, right? After so many years apart, I have grown so big. I am really feeling emotional in my heart."

"Don't worry, Madam, Jin'er is very sensible. My wife fell in love with her as soon as she saw her. She is smart and generous, sensible and polite, and not squeamish. No wonder my boy is so tight!" Mrs. Huo said with a smile (End of Chapter)
