Chapter 845 Achieve The Goal With Little Effort (2/2)
”I heard that the Crown Prince had a premature labor. I didn't ask her what caused that on the day I came back.”
Hearing this, Qian Zhuo answered in a hurry, ”It has something to do with the Su clan. After the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess returned, they noticed something usual in Jin City. After a careful investigation, they found that the Su clan seemed to have gathered all the gold and silver jewelry in the city, as well as the silver money in the bank. They had also kidnapped many people from the city, hidden them in the Palace and forced them to make weapons. Crown Prince came to the Palace to visit Lady Hui who was depressed after losing her baby and took it as an excuse to stay overnight in the

Lady Shu suddenly knelt down and said in a trembling voice, ”Your Majesty, after the Empress came back to the Palace, it was Your Majesty who personally ordered that no one was allowed to disturb the Empress as she was tired after the long trip. I didn't find a chance to see her, so I couldn't return the seal to her in person.”
Just as Lady Shu finished her words, before Xia Huanyu could open his mouth, the voice of Empress Hua came faintly, ”Lady Shu, you are so forgetful. I remember that you entered the bedroom of Weiyang Palace yesterday under the guise of bringing me white fungus soup...”
