Chapter 437 Vigilance 3
Concubine Duan thought that after what she had said, the emperor would bring up the matter of establishing the crown prince, but she didn't expect the emperor to evade the important point and change the subject lightly, the smile on her face suddenly stiffened, but she didn't dare to continue asking, she nodded and said with a sneer: "That's natural." , the emperor attaches great importance to filial piety..."

Xiao Heng saw the unnatural sneer on her face, took a deep look at her, and said quietly just now: "Does my concubine have something to ask me?"

Concubine Duan was taken aback, she didn't expect that the little calculation in her heart would be seen by the emperor, she felt flustered for a moment, not knowing how to answer it.

She hesitated for a while, then said with a stiff smile: "I just don't understand why the emperor brought my concubine and the fifth prince to Yuqing Palace alone this time to escape the summer heat?"

"My concubine doesn't like me bringing you here?" Xiao Heng didn't answer her, but raised his eyebrows and asked back. There was no emotional change in his words, but Concubine Duan's heart skipped a beat, feeling inexplicably uneasy.

Perhaps that feeling of unreliability has never disappeared since she followed the emperor out of the palace!
Even though the court lady Shaoyao said a lot of good things, but from what the emperor said just now, she guessed that the emperor definitely didn't intend to bring her here to escape the summer just because he doted on her alone!

How could she get carried away because of Shao Yao's words? !In the harem, she is not the only favorite of the Jiaofang, the emperor still favors other concubines from time to time...

"Of course I like it..." Concubine Duan was not sure what the emperor was thinking, so she could only reply cautiously.

Xiao Heng wanted to say something else, but a young eunuch came to report in a hurry, whispered something in Xiao Heng's ear, and sent a letter to Xiao Heng.

Xiao Heng's complexion changed slightly, his brows were tightly wrinkled, and anger flickered in his eyes, which made Concubine Duan feel even more uneasy.

"You step back first..." After Xiao Heng waved the little eunuch back, Concubine Duan asked with concern: "Your Majesty, is there something wrong in the palace?"

Concubine Duan saw that Xiao Heng frowned and said nothing, with a gloomy expression on her face, she hurriedly asked Shao Yao to bring a cup of tea to Xiao Heng, and told him to lower the fire, but after reading the letter, Xiao Heng threw the teacup on the ground with a slamming face. Even more angry.

Shao Yao thought that the emperor was dissatisfied with the tea, so she fell to her knees in fright, and kept kowtowing: "Your Majesty, forgive me!"

Xiao Heng waved his hands, and ordered in a cold voice: "You step back first!"

Shao Yao subconsciously looked at Concubine Duan, seeing Concubine Duan winking at herself, she stood up covered in cold sweat and retreated, only Xiao Heng and Concubine Duan remained in Paiyun Pavilion.

Concubine Duan saw Xiao Heng's furious expression, although she felt uneasy, she still walked to Xiao Heng's side, rubbed his shoulders for him, and said softly: "Your Majesty, even if something big happens, don't get angry. !"

Xiao Heng grabbed her wrist to prevent her from rubbing his shoulders, threw the letter in front of Concubine Duan, and said coldly: "You can read it yourself!"

Concubine Duan took the letter suspiciously, lowered her head to read it carefully, and when she saw that the letter was written to her secretly by her father, her expression changed.

Before that, her father often sent letters to her bedroom, but this was against the palace rules after all, Concubine Duan never dared to let the emperor know.

But this time, she came to the palace with the emperor to escape the summer heat, why did her father still send a letter? !

Concubine Duan didn't expect her father to be so careless this time and hurt herself. She was secretly complaining in her heart, but after reading the contents of the letter, her expression suddenly changed.
