The queen is charming, but powerful ministers lure her to seize power and usurp the throne

Chapter 36 Intrigue 1
When the imperial doctor left, Lu Yi was still muttering, "There is no way this could be as serious as he said."

By the time she had dinner, she was sweating profusely, her fever persisted, and her whole body ached. Fortunately, she fell asleep after drinking the medicine, which was a relief.

In the next few days, Zhe Sang asked her to rest in her room and recuperate.

Because next month is the day of autumn hunting, some things and arrangements still need to be carried out to achieve the purpose, so these days are inevitably a bit busy.

Zhe Sang stared at the list of entourage for a long time and decided to go to the Imperial Study Room.

Both Mrs. An and Concubine Shu are still in confinement, and she needs to ask the emperor what he means.

Mrs. An is pregnant now, and I am afraid that the emperor will not trust her in the palace.If Mrs. An's confinement is lifted, then Concubine Shu will have no reason to be confused.

Currently, there are only a few concubines on the list who are not too favored but are decent. Zhe Sang certainly hopes that Concubine Shu and Mrs. An will be brought along.

Now that the person the emperor cares about is around, he has no extra thoughts to focus on her. During this autumn hunting, she has other things to do.

Gu Heng came to tell him that Mrs. An was pregnant, but Zhe Sang actually knew it before he did. News of Mrs. An's presence naturally spread quickly, and she received the news almost at the same time as the emperor.

Probably when he became a father for the first time, the emperor was so happy that he stayed in Yangxin Pavilion for several days.

If he had married Su Qiong'an instead of himself, the harem would probably not be able to accommodate anyone else, and Fu Rong would only have Su Qiong'an in his harem.

Unfortunately, it was not Su Qiong'an who accompanied him through life and death, and Su Qiong'an gave up on him.

When the emperor heard that the queen was coming, he was a little surprised, and then he realized that the queen had not come to see him in the imperial study for a long time.

Su Zhesang is not only a qualified queen, but also a qualified wife.She knew that the emperor was unavailable, so she never complained about his neglect. Instead, she asked about his daily life from time to time, and from time to time she would make soup herself to see him. She would not disturb him too much, and she was also very good at reading his face. If he didn't reserve more time, she would , she would leave on her own after asking a few questions.

But even so, the emperor didn't want to deal with it. With so many people serving him, what could possibly be wrong?He felt that her concern was really unnecessary.

He had forgotten about it, but when she came today, he thought about it again. Thinking about it carefully, he was relieved but also a little uncomfortable at the same time.

Probably, although her concern was in the way, she shouldn't take it back without his permission.

"Let her come in." The emperor put down his pen and sat up straight.

The queen walked in, followed by several maids.

Wearing a sky-green long skirt, with ink orchids embroidered on the collar and skirt, and an ivory gauze cover.The gauze is light and thin, and the steps are silky and elegant, like ripples on water, making people miss her without noticing.

This time, she did not wear those complicated jewelry. Her bun was as black as a cloud and only had a few simple jasper hairpins in it, which matched the color of her clothes.

Her outfit is not grand at all, very casual, but as comfortable as a hibiscus.

Comfortable for the wearer and comfortable for the viewer.

The queen came closer and curtsied slightly.

"Holy blessings and blessings."

"Sit down, why are you here today?"

The emperor casually pointed to the chair next to him and stood up from behind the case.His eyes slightly glanced at the maid behind her. In the past, the maid held soup and snacks in her hands, but today she only had a booklet.

"Your Majesty is already busy with government affairs, so I shouldn't bother you. But there are some things that I would like to ask Your Majesty for fear of not thinking through."

The Emperor sat down in the chair next to hers.

"Tell me." In fact, he didn't like her foreshadowing, just like courtiers who always quote a lot of classics before getting to the point.

Zhe Sang handed him the booklet.

"This is the list of people accompanying the autumn hunting trip. I was thinking about it. It's hard for Mrs. An to be pregnant. It would be nice to let her go out to get some fresh air. It's just that she's tired from driving all the way, so I don't know if it's suitable or not." Zhe Sang said.The emperor flipped through the book, glanced at it a few times, then put it down without any interest.

Regardless of whether Mrs. An is pregnant or not, given her status, the emperor would not trust her to leave her alone in the palace. He would rather cause trouble than have any accidents. He would only feel relieved if she was under his nose.

"Take it with you. Arrange a few more doctors and guards to follow you. Be careful."

"Yes." She knew he would definitely bring Mrs. An with him, and Zhe Sang was wise enough not to mention the grounding.

"Concubine Shu was also ill a few days ago." Zhe Sang mentioned casually.

The emperor looked at her, his expression unchanged, and he loosened the jade ring on his thumb with his right hand.

"Take them with you, you will have plenty of company."

Zhe Sang smiled slightly and said, "Your Majesty is still thoughtful. I will go and do it now, and then I will go to your Majesty."

It seemed that she really came here just for these few words. After getting a clear answer, she was leaving. She was very sensible.

The emperor felt a little uncomfortable, and he was interested in sitting with her for a while longer today.

"Why didn't the queen bring any food today?"

Zhe Sang was slightly stunned. She didn't expect him to ask this and didn't understand what he meant.

"I have been busy with autumn hunting recently, so I forgot about it."

"The Holy One didn't like these things in the past, and my concubine's craftsmanship was not good, so I didn't want to embarrass the Holy One anymore." She said with some embarrassment.

The emperor lowered his eyes as he thought of the things he had left untouched for a whole day.

"I haven't tasted your craftsmanship for a long time, and I really miss it."

After that, he didn't stay with her and let her go.

On the way back, Zhe Sang thought about it, had he done it so obviously that he began to doubt it?
She thought about it and realized that she really cared less and less about her.

He obviously didn't care when he cared about it before. Isn't it just what he wants?Why did you start banging again?

"Later, you can ask someone to go to Ziyun Palace and talk to Yangxin Pavilion, so that they can prepare for the hunting trip. Yangxin Pavilion will agree to any requests for the trip. Arrange more people to follow and take care of them."

Zhe Sang ordered Chong Qing, thought for a while, and then said.

"Tonight, please ask the Imperial Dining Room to prepare the dinner in a more detailed manner, as in the previous fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year, and then send the maid to the Imperial Study Room to inform you later."

"Does the empress want to come to Yong'an Palace?" Chongqing was slightly stunned. Shouldn't he avoid it at this time?

Of course Zhe Sang wanted to avoid her, but it would be bad if she got suspicious. Her foundation was not stable now. If the emperor got suspicious and wanted to get rid of her, it wouldn't be a problem.

"Prepare it first, and prepare another portion of the wine from last time."

"Yes." Chongqing responded.

"How is that girl Lu Yi? Is she feeling better?"

"Much better, but the imperial doctor said that she ate too much cold food and is recovering. She needs to be careful not to catch the cold again."

"This girl, you have to take care of her mouth. Diseases come from the mouth." Zhe Sang said.
