Fengming Chen Palace

Chapter 207
After everything was packed, Concubine Chu got into the sedan chair and headed for Shoukang Palace.

At the same time, Xuanyuanqi entered the palace and also headed for Shoukang Palace.

Anyway, the queen mother is not feeling well, as a son, he always wants to go to the palace to have a look.

He was very puzzled. During this period of time, why did the queen mother always feel unwell, either because of her ears or her legs and feet.

Xuanyuanqi even suspected that the Empress Dowager was pretending to be sick in order to allow him to go to the palace often to accompany her.

Because of the previous incident, Xuanyuan Qi was followed by several guards, which were sent to him by the emperor.

He wanted to kill him, but was threatened by the emperor. In desperation, he could only take these guards around.

When something really happened, he would find a way to get rid of these guards, so to him, it made no difference whether these guards were present or not.

Concubine Chu Guifei was one step faster than Xuanyuanqi, and arrived at the Shoukang Palace first. At this moment, the Empress Dowager was leaning on the soft couch, with a maid beside her rubbing her legs.

In the past few days, the queen mother's legs and feet have become inflexible due to the impact of the waist, which made the queen mother a little panicked.

All the imperial physicians in the harem had visited, but they could not see why. They could only blame all this on the queen mother's age.

As people get older, it is normal for their legs and feet to be inconvenient. In addition, on weekdays, the Queen Mother seldom goes out for activities and only stays in the Shoukang Palace, so it is more likely to have leg and foot problems.

The Empress Dowager did not accept this, so she asked Nanny Qin to send a letter to the Chu family, and asked the Chu family to find a famous doctor for her to treat her leg and foot problems.

It was because of this that Xuanyuanqi knew that the Queen Mother's body was not feeling well again.

"Aunt, are you alright?" After sitting down, Concubine Chu realized that the Queen Mother was a little older than before.

"It's nothing, just upset." With the Buddhist scriptures sent by Lu Zhaoyi, her rest was much better than before, but the pain in her waist could not be relieved. Now, her legs and feet are not flexible.

In the past, she didn't need others to support her when she walked, and she walked very well by herself, but now, even if someone supports her, she still struggles to walk.

This is an unacceptable thing for the Queen Mother. She cannot accept that she cannot walk and become a useless person.

"How are you doing recently? Are you okay?" Looking at Concubine Chu Gui, the Empress Dowager asked, her gaze fell from Concubine Chu Gui's face to her stomach.

Regarding this, Concubine Chu Gui was a little nervous, her stomach was fake, and her child had already been completely solved with a bowl of soup.

"Please rest assured, aunt, everything is fine with my niece." Concubine Chu Guifei said with a smile, trying to keep herself calm so as not to be seen by the Queen Mother.

"That's good. If you need anything, just tell Aijia." Nodding, the queen mother was unwell and didn't have so much energy to stare at Concubine Chu Gui, which made her heave a sigh of relief.

The two chatted casually, Xuanyuan Qi walked in from outside the hall, saw Concubine Chu, he quickly walked a few steps towards Concubine Chu.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Concubine Chu Guifei turned her head and saw that it was Xuanyuanqi, her expression couldn't help but change.

"Qi'er!" Before Xuanyuan Qi could reach Concubine Chu Gui, the Empress Dowager spoke and stopped Xuanyuan Qi.

There are still palace people in the main hall. At the entrance of the hall, the guards sent by the emperor are standing there. If there is anything wrong between him and Concubine Chu, once it gets out, it will be of no benefit to anyone.

The queen mother's voice came, calling Xuanyuanqi to stop, he glanced at Concubine Chu Guifei unwillingly, and then saluted the queen mother.

"I heard that the Queen Mother is unwell, so I came to the palace to have a look." After the ceremony, Xuanyuan Qi sat down, looked at the Queen Mother, and spoke with concern.

Xuanyuanqi's behavior made the queen mother very angry, she completely forgot how troublesome it was for her to send someone to invite Xuanyuanqi into the palace when she was feeling uncomfortable.

"The empress mother is still young, why is she always uncomfortable? Is it because the palace people are not doing their best?" Xuanyuanqi frowned when he saw a palace servant rubbing the empress dowager's legs again.

"It's not that big, but compared with you, I'm old, and I'm bound to have a headache." The queen mother didn't want to be old, but the current situation couldn't help her.

Concubine Chu Guifei sat aside, listening to the Empress Dowager talking to Xuanyuanqi, she felt uneasy, so she stretched out her hand and touched her stomach.

"You all go down." Noticing Concubine Chu Gui's movements, Xuanyuan Qi waved his hand, and ordered to the people in the palace, the palace people responded, saluted, and retreated together.

Seeing this situation, Concubine Chu felt more and more uneasy, she was afraid that the Queen Mother and Xuanyuanqi would find out that she had no child in her womb.

After all the palace people retreated, Xuanyuanqi stood up and walked towards Concubine Chu Gui.

"Rou'er, I haven't seen you for a long time. How are you? Is the child okay?"

Coming to Concubine Chu, Xuanyuanqi had a smile on his face, the queen mother was sitting on the first seat, seeing Xuanyuanqi like this, she couldn't help frowning.

"Thank you, the Sixth Prince, for your concern. Everything in this palace is fine." Concubine Chu Guifei tried to calm down, facing Xuanyuanqi, thinking about the way to get out, and she dared not reveal her real situation.

"Look at you, in front of the queen mother, you still have such a relationship with me. Our child is so old. Don't worry, everything will be settled before the child is born."

Stretching out his hand, Xuanyuanqi wanted to touch Concubine Chu Gui's belly, but when he was about to touch Concubine Chu Guifei, Concubine Chu stopped his hand, "Cousin, it's broad daylight, it's still in Shoukang Palace, you should pay attention."

"Yurou is right. Although this is the Shoukang Palace, it's hard to guarantee that the walls have ears. Pay attention, why don't you go back to your seat and sit down?"

The queen mother opened her mouth, Xuanyuanqi had no choice but to withdraw her hand and sat back to her original position.

Seeing Xuanyuanqi sit down again, Concubine Chu Guifei breathed a sigh of relief again, this feeling of fear was really uncomfortable.

It was rare for Xuanyuanqi to enter the palace, and the Empress Dowager left him to have a meal with Concubine Chu. This meal, Concubine Chu ate with trepidation, until she left Shoukang Palace after lunch, and finally put her heart back to the original place. place.

Sitting on the sedan chair, heading back to Roufu Palace, along the way, Concubine Chu frowned. Now, she hoped that the time would soon pass and she would go to Spring Hunting, otherwise, she would be exposed sooner or later and would be driven crazy.

After Concubine Chu left, Xuanyuanqi talked to the Queen Mother a lot. From Xuanyuanqi's point of view, it was already a sure bet to win, just waiting for the arrival of Spring Hunting.

After hearing Xuanyuan Qi's words, the Queen Mother was very happy, and the discomfort on her body seemed to have eased a lot.

But after all, she has been struggling in the palace for many years, so she inevitably told Xuanyuanqi a few words, while making him happy, don't forget to be vigilant against the emperor.

After all, the emperor has grown up now, he is no longer the little emperor of the past, and now he has sent people to follow Xuanyuanqi, which shows that he has doubts.

It's always good to be cautious before things happen...
