Crazy criticizes Emperor Ji for marrying the regent and becoming more powerful

Seeing that the Queen Mother was sincere in talking to her this time, Chu Xi agreed.

"I will try my best to ease the situation on the father's side. If there is any progress, I will inform the emperor's grandmother."

The Queen Mother was very happy when she heard what Chu Xi said, and then said:

"If you really help the Ai family to ease the relationship with His Majesty, if you have any requests in the future, the Ai family will try their best to agree to you."

This is also the promise the Queen Mother made to Chu Xi.

Hearing this, Chu Xi nodded and then left Ci'an Palace.

Today's visit to Ci'an Palace was quite fruitful. Firstly, I got a promise from the Queen Mother, and secondly, I learned that there may be other hidden reasons behind her mother's death.

Nan Xi seemed to have told Concubine Rou about this matter before, but she didn't have much impression of what exactly was said. Should she go find Concubine Rou?

Just as Chu Xi was thinking, she saw the fourth princess walking across the street.

When the fourth princess saw Chu Xi, the smile on her face was very obvious.

"I've met Di Ji."

"The fourth princess wants to go to Concubine Rou to pay her respects?"

"Exactly, where did Di Ji come from?"

Nangong Zhaoxing glanced at Chu Xi curiously and asked.

This direction is neither the direction of Chengqian Palace nor the direction of Tianfeng Palace, but it is very close to the Empress Dowager's Ci'an Palace.

"That's just right. I have something to ask Concubine Rou, so let's go together."

Originally, Chu Xi had not planned to go to Concubine Rou to ask about the matter today, but since she had already met Nangong Zhaoxing, it was easy.

Hearing this, Nangong Zhaoxing didn't say anything. Her mother-in-law had always liked Di Ji, and she would definitely be very happy if she saw Di Ji coming.

Then the two people came to Qianfu Palace together.

When Concubine Rou saw Di Ji, the corners of her lips could not help but rise.

"I have met Her Majesty the Emperor Ji. Why does the Emperor Ji have time to come to Qianfu Palace today?" Concubine Rou looked at Chu Xi with a smile and asked.

"I just came out of the Queen Mother's Palace and met the fourth princess on the road, so I thought of coming over to pay my respects to Concubine Rou." Chu Xi said with a smile.

The word "please say hello" can be regarded as breaking Concubine Rou, and Concubine Rou also saw from Chu Xi's few words that she was not Nan Xi, but a kinder personality.

"Zhao Xing, go to the small kitchen and get some snacks I made for Di Ji to try."

"Okay, concubine, my son, I'll go right now."

After saying that, Nangong Zhaoxing left without realizing that her mother-in-law was deliberately sending her away.

"If Emperor Ji has something to say, you can say it now. There are no outsiders at the moment." Concubine Rou said looking at Chu Xi kindly.

Chu Xi hesitated for a while, and then said to Concubine Rou:
"You know the real reason why my temper has changed so much, right?"

"Don't worry, Emperor Ji. I have never told anyone else about this."

"That's not what I meant. What I want to ask is, what you told me about the queen mother before, can you tell me again? I also want to know the hidden cause of the queen mother's death."

Hearing this, Concubine Rou was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting Chu Xi to say this.

However, if she could tell Nan Xi about this matter, she could also tell it to Chu Xi, so she didn't hide anything and just repeated it to Chu Xi.

After hearing this, Chu Xi nodded with understanding and asked again:

"Then why did my father suspect that the Queen Mother did it? Moreover, it was too much to put the Queen Mother under house arrest in Ci'an Palace in disguise." "I also know very little about this matter. After all, when Queen Jingxian had a difficult delivery, I My concubine is also giving birth. The only one who knows more about these things back then is Your Majesty, but His Majesty never let anyone mention this matter, and over time, it was forgotten."

Speaking of this, Concubine Rou was also full of emotion.

Your Majesty clearly has a deep love for Queen Jingxian, why don't you pursue this matter to the end? Instead, choose to settle the matter?

Hearing this, Chu Xi couldn't help but frown, feeling something was fishy.

"Di Ji does not have to worry about finding out the truth about the death of Queen Jingxian. Now Di Ji should help the Queen Mother to ease the relationship with Her Majesty as soon as possible. The Queen Mother will be Di Ji's biggest helper in the future." Concubine Rou said with a faint smile.

"Thank you, Imperial Concubine Rou, for reminding me. I know what to do."

After saying that, Nangong Zhaoxing also brought the snacks made by Concubine Rou from the kitchen. After Chu Xi tasted two pieces, he said goodbye and returned to Tianfeng Palace.

Chu Xi did not take Huan Yun with her when she went to Ci'an Palace, so Huan Yun stayed in Tianfeng Palace very anxiously. She was always worried that the Queen Mother would be harmful to their concubines. She did not relax until she saw Chu Xi returning safely. Take a breath.

"Master, is the Queen Mother giving you any trouble?"

"No, the Queen Mother just came to me to talk about the relationship between ancestors and grandchildren." Chu Xi smiled at Huanyun.

Although Huanyun didn't believe Chu Xi's words, her master definitely had her reasons for saying so, and she didn't need to get to the bottom of it.

"It's good that I didn't embarrass you. By the way, the prince is waiting for you in the room. He has been here for a while."

Hearing what Huanyun said, Chu Xi's eyes immediately lit up, and then she walked into the room very happily.

As soon as he entered, he saw Xia Houqi's tall and straight back, standing in front of the window, looking at the scenery outside the window.

"The scenery outside the window is so beautiful. Didn't the prince even notice that I was back?"

As soon as Chu Xi opened her mouth, Xia Houqi knew it was her.

"The view from the window is not as good as the person in front of you." Xia Houqi turned around and looked at Chu Xi with his eyes like hooks.

The moment the two people's eyes met in the air, there was a flash of lightning, and then Chu Xi ran over in small steps and hugged Xia Houqi gently.

When Xia Houqi was hugged by Chu Xi, he was a little surprised, but also enjoyed it a little. He patted her back gently, and then asked:
"We haven't seen you for a few days, why have you become so clingy?"

"Are you clingy? We haven't seen each other for a few days, and you didn't even say you came to the palace to see me, and you still dislike me for being clingy."

"In recent years, the military affairs have been relatively busy. I came to see you after finishing the matter. Isn't that enough about you? I think I just need to keep you in my arms all the time."

Hearing Xia Houqi's words, Chu Xi couldn't help laughing, and then let him go.

"Guess where I went just now~"

"I'm going to Ci'an Palace to see the Queen Mother. Huanyun has already told me about this."

Hearing this, Chu Xi couldn't help but pout, a little dissatisfied:

"Why did she just tell you? There's no mystery at all."

Xia Houqi laughed, then took Chu Xi's hand and sat on the soft couch, poured her a cup of tea, and asked softly:

"Did the Queen Mother come to see you for something?"

"This Huanyun definitely didn't tell you. Why don't you guess it, Your Majesty? If you guess it right, there will be a reward~~"

Seeing Chu Xi's smart little appearance, Xia Houqi's smile became even brighter.

"If I guess correctly, it will be more than just asking for a reward."
