Chapter 225
When Gu Jin was waiting for Xie Ran outside, he saw Queen Zhao coming from afar with several maids, and the maids were holding a food box in their hands.
"I've met the Queen."
"No need to be so polite, just stand up." Queen Zhao helped Gu Jin up in a gentle voice, without any airs of a queen.
She looked into the hall with some concern and asked in a low voice, "Did Prince Heng really do what was said?"
Everyone knew about this and Gu Jin had nothing to hide.
Seeing Gu Jin nod, Queen Zhao sighed, "How could this child be like this..."
Queen Zhao's worries were not false, because she knew very well that the position had nothing to do with the short-lived Mu Zhen. If she had to choose between Prince Yu and Prince Heng, she would naturally prefer Prince Heng in her heart.
"It is painful for the parents to punish their children, and Your Majesty must feel bad too."
"That's why Your Majesty personally made the lily soup to clear away heat and remove internal heat. It's because Your Majesty cares about His Majesty the most." The palace maid behind Queen Zhao said crisply.
After being married for many years, although Queen Zhao and Emperor Hui'an could not be said to have a harmonious relationship, they respected each other. In her heart, Emperor Hui'an was her husband and her heaven.
The two chatted for a while, and when Queen Zhao saw Xie Ran coming out of the palace, she smiled with emotion: "Marquis Xie is young and promising, but he still remembers his original intention. Such a good man is rare in the world, you must cherish him."
Gu Jin tilted his head to look at the tall and graceful Xie Ran. To be fair, Xie Ran was indeed a good person. Although he was born in ancient times, he could give his partner equal respect, which was a hundred times better than many men in modern society.
Watching the two people leave side by side, Queen Zhao's eyes revealed a gleam of reminiscence.
Like Emperor Hui'an, she came from humble beginnings. Over the years, the two had gone through many ups and downs together and never left each other. Although she had never been favored by His Majesty alone, she was content in her heart.
Queen Zhao wanted to go into the palace to persuade Emperor Hui'an, but he was not as angry as she had imagined. Instead, his eyes were bright and there was a smile in his eyes and eyebrows.
"His Majesty?"
"The Queen is here." Emperor Hui'an smiled and asked Queen Zhao to take a seat.
Queen Zhao didn't know what to say when she saw this, so she changed her words and said, "Your Majesty, I have already arranged for all the new concubines to enter the palace. When do you plan to turn over the names of these concubines?"
Emperor Hui'an waved his hand and said, "There is no rush for this matter. Let them learn the rules in the palace."
His original intention of selecting concubines for his harem was to check and balance the Jiang family, but now that Xie Ran has found Su Su and his child, how could he still linger on the flowers?
Emperor Hui'an originally wanted to ask Queen Zhao to clean up a palace for him, but after thinking it over, he decided that the matter should be kept secret and the fewer people who knew about it before bringing the mother and son back, the better.
Queen Zhao returned to Fengyi Palace in a daze. Mu Zhen was waiting for her in the palace and asked, "How is father? Is he angry about Prince Heng's matter?"
Queen Zhao didn't know how to start for a moment, so Mu Zhen hurriedly asked, "What's wrong, mother? Is father in a bad mood?"
"No." Queen Zhao shook her head inexplicably, "Your father seems to be in a good mood..."
Mu Zhen frowned.
Although Prince Heng was stupid, he was an important chess piece to check and balance the Jiang family. However, he was deposed so easily by Prince Yu. The emperor should be angry.
"I don't know about that. Perhaps it was Marquis Qingyun who comforted Your Majesty." Queen Zhao took a sip of tea and said casually.
Mu Zhen keenly sensed something unusual, "Xie Ran has met the emperor?"
Queen Zhao nodded and said, "Marquis Qingyun and his wife entered the palace together, and they are a loving couple.
Zhen'er, you and Wei'er must hurry up, the Queen Mother likes both boys and girls..."
Mu Zhen was in no mood to listen to Queen Zhao's mundane conversation. He stood up and said, "Mother, I remember I have some things to do in the East Palace. I will come to pay my respects to you another day."
There is definitely something wrong between Xie Ran and his father. Xie Ran never does anything without a purpose. He must find out Xie Ran's purpose of entering the palace as soon as possible!
