The Salted Fish Empress Dotes on the Harem

Chapter 67, The Emperor's Suspicion

After the Lantern Festival, the Seventh Prince, the Seventh Princess and others will set off for the frontier fortress.

Zhao Nuoqing and the seventh concubine had the same interests, and they were very reluctant to leave when they parted.

Princess Jiamin and the pair of twins also hit it off very well. When parting, the three little dolls tugged at each other's clothes and refused to part, but they were half coaxed and half tricked by the crowd to let go.

Shen Bochen and the Seventh Prince didn't know what to say when they were together, only heard the Seventh Prince say "When the geese pass, there will be traces", the emperor nodded, patted the Seventh Prince's shoulder heavily, and said, "Safe journey !"

After sending off the Seventh Prince's family, Sister Lan took the lead back to the Palace of Compassion and Ning to report to the Queen Mother.

Zhao Nuoqing accompanied the emperor for a walk on the palace road.

Han Mingde and others followed closely behind, looking at the emperor and Zhao Meiren in front of them, they only felt that there seemed to be a calm and peaceful feeling on their bodies.

It seems that the two are just an ordinary but happy young couple. Step by step, they will eventually join hands and spend their whole lives slowly.

Shen Bochen took Zhao Nuoqing's hand and walked slowly, looking a little dignified.

Zhao Nuoqing was not that curious person, seeing that the emperor didn't mention it, she just quietly accompanied him.

Suddenly, the emperor asked: "I heard that you are very close to Xu Cairen?"

Zhao Nuoqing was puzzled, why did the emperor suddenly mention Xu Cairen?Could it be that Xu Cairen said something to the emperor?
She didn't know how to answer, if she said no, the emperor would definitely think that she was at odds with the harem, but she didn't want to let the emperor misunderstand, so she asked: "Why does the emperor ask these questions?"

Shen Bochen took a deep breath, "Zhen, I need your help with something!"

Zhao Nuoqing looked at him, slightly surprised, the emperor actually wanted something from her?

This is so fresh!
Then the emperor sighed heavily, "I want you to help me take care of Xu Cairen! Make sure she can give birth to this baby smoothly!"

Zhao Nuoqing frowned slightly, feeling dumb, how could the emperor suddenly entrust her with such an important matter, if Xu Cairen accidentally lost his child, wouldn't he still blame her?

How would she respond to such a request?
Zhao Nuoqing was thinking wildly, and the emperor said again: "I have been on the throne for many years, and I have been busy with government affairs. Under the interference of the prime minister's party, I paid little attention to the issue of offspring. Now that the overall situation is about to be settled, I finally have time to resolve this matter! I have had few descendants for many years, now that I think about it, if it is not the retribution from the heavens, then someone must have done it on purpose! I am afraid that the only person I can trust now is you!"

"Xu Cairen is pregnant now. That person will definitely not let go of this opportunity. I hope you will help me secretly investigate who killed so many of my children! I will never let him go lightly!"

Zhao Nuoqing only entered the palace a year ago, and the pregnant concubine in the palace began to have a miscarriage for no reason since three years ago!

Indeed, Zhao Nuoqing's suspicion is very light.

Zhao Nuoqing listened to the emperor's words in a daze. In fact, she also doubted why the emperor had been on the throne for five or six years, and only Jiamin and the eldest prince were the only children born smoothly.

She thought how could the emperor not understand the way, and sure enough, the emperor had already understood it, but was delayed by the government.

In fact, she is not the only one who has doubts about this matter, the entire imperial palace probably has such doubts now, otherwise, how could there be such rumors in the palace about Fumei's stillbirth?

"How does the emperor need concubines?"

By saying this, she agreed to the emperor's request.

Shen Bochen glanced at her with relief, "I want you to help me pay attention to Xu Cairen's movements, such as her basic necessities of life, food, housing and transportation or other things that I haven't noticed!"

Zhao Nuoqing nodded, "The concubine knows!"
