After reading my heart, my mother-in-law went crazy and I drank milk and melons.

Chapter 67 Secret collusion
  Just as Concubine Shu was about to speak, Wei Weiran walked in from outside.

The Prime Minister looked sideways and looked at Concubine Shu secretly, with smiles on both their faces.

The eyes are filled with the joy of family reunion.

Concubine Shu sat down and spoke, her eyes turned into crescent moons: "Why is Eunuch Wei here? My father and mother are about to leave."

Wei Weiran was affected by the scene in front of him and smiled broadly.

"Oh, why are we leaving now? The emperor's decree is for the prime minister and his wife to stay in the palace for a while and spend time with Concubine Shu. It just so happens that it's dinner time, and the emperor asked Concubine Shu to take the prime minister and his wife with them. When we go to Yangxin Hall for dinner, Princess Zhixin will accompany us, and the whole family will have a good reunion."

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the three members of the family changed instantly, each with their own concerns.

Concubine Shu lowered her eyes, her expression vague and unpredictable.

The Prime Minister smiled, and the smile reached his eyes.

If his daughter wasn't capable, even the emperor would coax her.

We were all eating at the same table. If he accidentally mentioned Yaoxiang, even her daughter wouldn't say anything.

The Madam glanced at the Prime Minister, having known him day and night for decades, and she could see through him at this glance.

But it is hard to violate the holy will. If you reject the emperor's good intentions on the spot, if you put it nicely, you will not give the emperor face, if you put it badly, it will be disobedience and you will be beheaded.

She thought about it over and over again, her heart became fierce, and she bit her lip so hard that it drew blood.

The next moment, her face immediately turned pale.

He held his stomach and screamed ouch.

"Belly! My tummy!"

She slumped on the tea table without any concern for her image, with cold sweat on her forehead.

Concubine Shu was immediately frightened and quickly stood up to help her.

The prime minister also realized the purpose of his wife's actions, and his face suddenly darkened. However, due to the presence of Wei Weiran, he pretended to get up and help his wife.

"Madam, madam, what's wrong with you! Doctor, call the doctor quickly!"

He shouted anxiously outside.

Concubine Shu's eyes immediately darkened, she looked sideways at the Prime Minister and remained silent.

Then he looked at Mi Chun and said: "When you go to the imperial doctor, just say that I have a stomachache. Remember, it must be the imperial doctor Zhao."

Mi Chun understood immediately and walked out the door without stopping.

Wei Weiran, who witnessed all this, remained silent.

Concubine Shu looked at Wei Weiran and said, "My father-in-law, please help me tell the emperor that my mother has a serious illness and cannot go. Please forgive me."

Wei Weiran nodded and saluted, and said: "Empress, it's not that I don't want to give you face. It's because the emperor said before coming here that no matter what big thing happens, today's meal is guaranteed. I brought the sedan chair. Okay. Take your wife back to the Yangxin Hall first, and then let the imperial doctor go directly to the Yangxin Hall to treat your wife."

As soon as these words came out, not only Concubine Shu's face changed, but even the Prime Minister's face couldn't bear it.

He and Concubine Shu looked at each other, their eyes full of suspicion.

It was really strange that the emperor wanted to summon their whole family at this time.

If there was nothing important, there would definitely not be such a big fanfare and a sedan chair would be used in the palace.

It was obvious that they would refuse.

What went wrong?
  Concubine Shu was the first to react and said: "Then please ask father-in-law to wait outside the house for a while. We will be here soon."

Wei Weiran said quickly: "Okay."

During the whole process, he didn't even look at the Prime Minister's wife.

After he went out, Concubine Shu frowned: "Eunuch Wei has been in the palace for such a long time and grew up with the emperor. Mother's acting skills really can't deceive his eyes. I'm afraid today is going to be very bad. Father, you come in Have you ever met Prince Heng when you were in the palace?"

The prime minister shook his head: "No, I passed by Prince Heng's palace when I came here. The gate of the palace was closed. I didn't hear that Prince Heng entered the palace today?"

Concubine Shu said solemnly: "I'm afraid that the emperor is suspicious. In addition to making me happy this time, I'm afraid that there are other things I want to tell you. Father, don't make the emperor unhappy later. I won't mention anything about my concubine." Don’t mention it.”

"I know it well." Mrs. Shu was so panicked that she looked at Concubine Shu and then at the Prime Minister.

"Did I...did I get into trouble..."

Concubine Shu patted Madam on the shoulder: "The Emperor's suspicion has nothing to do with you. Don't worry too much. Just pretend to be sick later."

The lady nodded vigorously: "I understand."

This time, she will definitely not cause trouble for her daughter.

When the family of three arrived outside the Yangxin Hall, they stopped in tacit agreement.

Because Prince Heng's voice came from inside.

"Your Majesty, why did you summon me to the palace this time?"

"Of course I miss my uncle and want to have a meal with him."

"Your Majesty's brother has such a filial heart. He is really a blessing to the people of Daling. I can't even catch up with you!"

The Fourteenth Master!
  There is actually a Fourteenth Master!
  Concubine Shu was stunned on the spot, her mind was racing, thinking about the meaning of the emperor's actions.

First, he summoned his father and mother into the palace, and then asked Prince Heng and the Fourteenth Master to enter the palace. Could it be that some clues were found?
  Could it be that the incident at Foshan Temple is still related to the Fourteenth Master?
  Did the emperor save this situation because he wanted them to confront each other on the spot?
  In just a few seconds, she thought a lot.

[Prince Heng in the book was kind to the Fourteenth Master. Could it be that the two of them were secretly colluding? 】

This point has been mentioned briefly, but the Fourteenth Master never did anything to harm Concubine Yao in the book until her death.

Even when the Fourteenth Master was framed by the heroine, he didn't do anything.

Could it be that he was secretly colluding with Prince Heng and was a member of the Queen's party?
  Ying An is worried, and she also has some criticisms about what her scumbag father did today.

The emperor in the palace heard Ying'an's thoughts and knew that Concubine Shu had arrived.

He raised his voice and said outside the palace: "But the imperial concubine is here? Why don't you come in?"

Concubine Shu was shocked and lowered her head to look at Ying'an in her arms.

Your Majesty, he...

Although they had arrived outside the palace, how could they hear their voices while there was singing and dancing in the palace?
  Besides, Wei Weiran didn't even speak.

There is no other explanation than this.

She broke into a cold sweat in an instant, and began to think about how to keep Ying'an in front of the emperor.

No wonder the emperor likes Ying'an very much, but he can't be too enthusiastic about it.

If she were the emperor and listened to her own daughter scolding her every day, it would be a good thing if she didn't kill her.

She stepped in fearfully.

The Prime Minister's wife, who had already relaxed a little, supported Concubine Shu and whispered, "What's wrong? But what's wrong with you?"

Concubine Shu shook her head: "No... go in..."

The Prime Minister turned a deaf ear to what was wrong with Concubine Shu, and was only thinking about how to deal with the matter.

After entering the hall, the family of three knelt down and saluted.

"I have met the emperor. May the emperor be blessed and safe."

"Greetings to the Emperor, long live the Emperor."

Emperor Qingling stood up and came down to greet her, helped Concubine Shu up, frowned and said: "You are heavy now, so you don't need so many etiquette."

Concubine Shu felt inexplicably sad when she heard his voice.

In fact, he tolerated her a lot. If Ying An scolded him without any emotion at all, it would really not be the current situation.

"My concubine respects the emperor. Naturally, I must do all the etiquette in order to reflect my love for the emperor."
