The reborn woman returns

Chapter 216

Concubine Xue Gui didn't open her mouth, she looked coldly at Emperor Yongtai and Concubine Qiong Qingqing, almost silently snorted, stood up and faced the Empress Dowager and the Emperor. "Concubine Rong Chen please go and change."

"Go." The Empress Dowager nodded, and told the nurse next to her, "Hold the lamp to send the imperial concubine back, the road is slippery, be careful."

Huo Hanyan didn't pay attention to what happened just now, but looked at Xue Guifei's back gradually going away, feeling a little lonely.On the other hand, Emperor Yongtai carefully comforted the tear-stained Concubine Qiong, couldn't help the awkwardness in his heart, and quietly turned his eyes away.Concubine Xue Gui still didn't know what to think in her heart at this moment, she lost the emperor's favor while she was still pregnant, and she didn't know what to do when she couldn't hide her stomach in the future.

Huo Hanyan turned her head and asked the husband sitting next to her. "What happened here?"

"Concubine Qiong toasted the elder sister, but poured the wine on the elder sister." Xue Yan happened to see the scene just now, so he explained to her.

Huo Hanyan suddenly felt that she seemed to grasp Concubine Xue Gui's mood. It was a kind of sadness that could not be expressed in words, and the sadness emanating from the bottom of her heart. It was probably more of a cold heart for Emperor Yongtai. Now that I think about it, it has probably become a poison that makes my heart full of holes.

Concubine Xue did not come back until the end of the dinner, and the New Year's Eve dinner seemed to be the stage of Concubine Qiong alone.

Walking on the long corridor of the palace, Huo Hanyan was still thinking about what happened just now, "Husband, the emperor just went too far, elder sister, she still--" Huo Hanyan remembered that her husband seemed to be unaware of this, she immediately fell silent, her eyes widened. He glanced at the people beside him.It was too careless, the one who clearly promised elder sister to keep the secret, almost blurted out, and was about to open his mouth to cover up the words.Xue Shaochen pursed his lips, his eyes were calm, but his voice was sarcastically uttering two words. "inability."

Before Huo Hanyan had time to react to his words, a familiar voice came from behind them, "Shaochen's words are wrong. This is just to balance the power of the previous court in the harem, so why is it so incompetent?"

Huo Hanyan turned around abruptly, looked at the two snuggling up behind her, and said with a slight smile, "Brother, sister-in-law."

"Hmph, as an emperor, he can't even protect his beloved woman, and even dare not admit it to his children, why bother to make excuses for his incompetence." Xue Yan raised his eyebrows slightly, and turned around with a slightly stern expression, "If he is really a tough monarch, Why bother to be suspicious and indecisive. External troubles cannot be suppressed, and internal troubles are also indulged. This is the so-called balance of power? It will be a matter of time before the Ling family falls."

Huo Hanyan's expression at this time can only be described as shock. What the husband said clearly meant that he already knew about Concubine Xue Gui's pregnancy, and he thought he was hiding it from him. He was really stupid.

Maybe my husband knows everything, but he won't point it out unless I tell him.

"What are you talking about?" Ruan Qiluo asked with a frown.

With this question, Huo Hanyan suddenly felt that she had a lot of balance. Fortunately, she was not the only one who knew nothing about them, otherwise she would really be at a loss.

"No one is perfect, even if Shaochen is in his position, he may not be able to do better." Huo Haoxuan's words had a deep meaning. "There are many things that the superiors can't do anything about, but they often can't have both."

"If you have the power in your hands, who are you afraid of?" Xue Yan laughed jokingly.The eyes are full of wanton arrogance, those who are virtuous in the country live there, King Yun wants it, King Xian wants it, and the two kingdoms of Rongyuan stare covetously.If you, as an emperor, don't make decisions and put the imperial entanglements above the balance of the harem all day long, it's better to stop the flags and drums and step down from your position.

Huo Haoxuan's expression was slightly condensed, he didn't expect that what happened tonight would make Xue Shaochen want to seize the throne, but he didn't know if it had sprouted a long time ago, or it was just today.

But even so, it should be done. I believe that Xue Shaochen understands King Yun's thoughts about Hanyan better than anyone else. No matter how deliberately restrained he is in front of Hanyan, it is difficult to conceal his strong nature.King Yun's power is increasing day by day. If he really wins the Ninth Five-Year Plan in the future, no one can resist the pressure of power. It's better to hold the power in his own hands to be more secure.

Huo Haoxuan's gaze was still calm, and he said to Huo Hanyan who was dignified: "Hanyan, do you still remember the last time my elder brother asked you?"

"..." Huo Hanyan suddenly remembered the question from the eldest brother in Tianling Temple.Only now did she understand the meaning of that sentence. When did my husband have such an idea?I didn't even notice it. "Remember."

Did the eldest brother throw the problem to her and ask her to solve it?Can't help but frown and hold his forehead, this is too much to think of her, thinking that he can change anything in front of Xue Shaochen?

"Brother, do you know what the emperor is to the imperial concubine...?" What is the plan, or what is the attitude.Even if I have the memory of the previous life, I can't understand it.

If it was said that Emperor Yongtai no longer had any interest in the imperial concubine, he had almost arranged everything for her in his previous life.If it is intentional, then why has the noble concubine fallen out of favor since Concubine Qiong appeared.Even after Concubine Qiong died of illness, the emperor did not change his mind. Instead, he was obsessed with alchemy and ignored the government.

Huo Haoxuan asked with a smile: "Does Hanyan know why the emperor has no heir for many years?"

"..."

"Your Majesty's son is born out of the belly of a noble concubine." The royal family is ruthless, but the emperors of the Ling family have been full of infatuation.
