Hua Yuan wanted to get up and bow to him, but she was stopped by the Emperor. The Emperor looked at Hua Yuan with a smile and said, "Don't kneel to me yet. This is a request, not an imperial edict. Do you understand?"

Hua Yuan could only say, "Your son understands."

"Alright, the empress and empress dowager probably got anxious from waiting too. Let's go over now."

Hua Yuan nodded. Jun Yuqing pulled Hua Yuan along and stood up to bid her farewell.

He then headed for the imperial harem. When he was going there, he happened to see Imperial Concubine Chu admiring the flowers. Chu Imperial Concubine naturally saw Jun Yuqing and Hua Yuan.

She sent a small palace maid over to bow to Hua Yuan and said, "Esteemed wangfei, my wife invited you. She said that there were some things she wanted to talk about with you."

Jun Yu Qing frowned, and Hua Yuan smiled at him, then left with the little palace maid.

When they arrived in front of Imperial Concubine Chu, Hua Yuan didn't even greet her. She said, "You may dispense with the formalities. Speaking of which, we're old friends, so there's no need for such formalities. "Don't worry, I know you're going to pay respects to the empress dowager right now, so I won't take up too much of your time."

Hua Yuan stood to one side and nodded.

Chuchu continued, "I didn't expect time to pass so quickly. In a blink of an eye, someone who had eaten so much under the hands of the old mistress is already married. It really was the opposite of what people were supposed to do! When I thought about it, I couldn't remember what I looked like before. Now that I look at you, I can vaguely make out an image in my head. "

Hua Yuan heard those words but didn't know how to respond. She just stood aside with her lips pursed. She didn't say anything. She just stood there quietly, listening to what Chuchu had to say.

Chuchu said, "Well, there was nothing to regret about that year. I told you to come here and tell you to be careful of Consort Xin and the Crown Prince! I don't know if the child in my belly is a man or a woman, but the emperor's body is weakening day by day, so it's possible that he won't be able to wait for the prince whom the emperor has chosen to take over the throne. I entered the palace with a purpose in mind, but the Crown Prince's succession was not what I wanted. That's why I'm telling you about this matter. "

Hua Yuan frowned as she looked at Chuchu. She didn't think that their friendship was this close yet. And what was the use of telling her this? Could it be that she was really optimistic about Jun Yuqing?

"Imperial Concubine Chu telling me all this doesn't seem to be of any use. After all, my Prince does not have the qualifications to ascend to that seat. Furthermore, the battles in the palace are real and I am not sure if Imperial Concubine is telling this matter to me from the bottom of your heart, or if there is some other conspiracy. "

However, Chuchu heard it and laughed out loud. She looked at Hua Yuan and said happily, "I did everything I could to get into the palace, not because of the palace's prosperity, but because I was the daughter of a general, but because of the words of the emperor. I pushed all the blame for my father's defeat to my father, causing him to commit suicide, causing my mother to be martyred, leaving not a single survivor! That's why I entered the palace! However, His Highness the Crown Prince is ruthless, I do not wish to promote his ascension to the throne because of my relationship with you! "

Hua Yuan heard a keyword in those words!

She frowned and said, "Wait a moment, what do you mean because of your relationship?"

It couldn't be what she was thinking, right?

Wasn't this Chuchu too scary?

As I said earlier, the Emperor's health is deteriorating every day, and as I said later, it's because of her. It was not that Hua Yuan's imagination was too rich, but Chu Chuchu's words had given her such an idea.

Hua Yuan stared at Chuchu as she recalled the meeting with the emperor. It was true that his body was not well. At that time, she didn't think too deeply about it and thought it was the Emperor that ate those medicinal pills or something. But in retrospect, it was not.

Chuchu smiled lightly. Her smile was bland and cold, "Did I do it?" Just what you think. Originally, I entered the palace to seek revenge. You shouldn't be surprised that I did such a thing. "

Heavens, Hua Yuan really felt that Chu Yu dared to do it!

Even she felt that the emperor was being too unreasonable. She had never thought that he would use such a method to cripple the emperor!

"You — you — you —" Hua Yuan, you've been talking for a long time, yet you still haven't said a single word! She wanted to say that Chuchu was bold, but if she was the one facing all these problems, she might be even crazier than she was now.

A lot of things flashed through Hua Yuan's mind. A lot of things that she hadn't been able to figure out in her previous life suddenly became clear at this moment!

For example, after the fall of the Crown Prince, Dugu Ye did many things that seemed to be related to Chuchu. Hua Yuan thought, in her previous life, the person Chu Chuchu was looking for had to be Hua Yufei.

She looked at the person in front of her and suddenly didn't know whether she should hate him or cooperate.

She opened her mouth, but in the end, she did not say anything. She smiled slightly and said, "I know that everything that I have said today is too shocking. Even if you do not wish to cooperate with me, there is no harm in it. Go back and think about it. I just hope that it's a secret! "

Hua Yuan nodded subconsciously.

By the time she arrived at Jun Yu Qing's side, Hua Yuan was still dreaming. Back then, when she was still in the Hua Manor, she had treated the old lady like the only good person in the old lady's yard. However, today, he had given her such a big surprise. It was really hard to accept!

When Jun Yuqing saw Hua Yuan's absent-minded expression, as if she was frightened by something, she subconsciously thought that Imperial Concubine Chu had said something to Hua Yuan a moment ago. She gently pulled Hua Yuan into her embrace, and asked: "What's wrong? It seems like she's scared, did Imperial Concubine Chu just say something to you? "

Hua Yuan looked at Jun Yuqing and thought about how this was the Imperial Palace, then she closed her eyes and softly said: "Forget it, we should talk more about this place when we get back home."

"Alright."

Jun Yu Qing was originally not in a good mood, but when he heard the word 'family', his eyes lit up!

This word really made people feel like it was very ironclad!

Home!

A home she shared with Iris!

Thinking about this, even those annoying things did not seem to affect his good mood anymore.

The two headed towards the empress dowager's palace. The empress was already at the empress dowager's place!

The empress waited for a long time, but no one came. She gave the empress dowager a fake smile and said, "I wonder if these two children were delayed on the way. Why aren't they here yet?"

The empress dowager cast her a sidelong glance. She originally wanted to reprimand her a little, but gave up in the end.

In the beginning, the empress dowager was still rather satisfied with this empress. But later on, the empress's ambitions had grown greater and greater. Until now, the crown prince was completely in her hands. From her words, the empress dowager truly wanted to cripple the empress!

Therefore, even though she felt that Hua Yuan and Jun Yuqing had arrived a little late, because of the empress's words, she had no intention of responding!

The empress opened her mouth to speak, but without the empress dowager's assent, she shut up and said no more.

The empress actually knew that the empress dowager hated her to the bone. After all, she had been ruling the harem for so many years, so how could her EQ be low?

After some time, a small palace maid came walking in slowly. "To report to Esteemed Empress Dowager, Esteemed Empress Dowager, Prince Su, and Prince Su are already at the palace gates."
