Noble Consort Kang immediately hid her handkerchief wrapped around her finger inside the blanket and said calmly: ”It's nothing, I cut my hand while peeling the fruit.”
The Empress Chen said dejectedly: ”Noble Consort is sick, and she even personally peeled the fruit, so in the future, all these small matters can be done by the palace maids.”
”The empress should not stay in the palace for too long to avoid getting sick.”
”Actually, today, I still came here to tell Noble Consort something,” Empress Chen revealed a regretful expression, ”After finding out about Brother Noble Consort's corruption of the military pay, the situation is true.”
Noble Consort Kang's face froze, she froze on the bed.
”But Noble Consort doesn't need to worry,” A faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, ”The Emperor cannot blame the Prince Jin and the Prince Jin.”
”...” Didn't the Empress say that she would let go? ” Noble Consort Kang's lips could not help but tremble.
”In the end, it's better to not think about it,” the Empress Chen sighed regretfully. ”I had wanted to let him go, but His Majesty refused to let me go.”
Noble Consort Kang looked at her in despair and laughed coldly. ”Now that the Kang Family's backer has fallen, does the empress still want the Prince Jin and his concubines to follow the crown prince?”
”Of course I want to,” Empress Chen smiled sweetly. ”Noble Consort and Prince Jin are still here, so it's fine if Kang Zhiming falls.”
”That's great,” the Noble Consort Kang smiled and nodded, extending his pale and powerless hand to place it on her body. ”Then I can rest assured, my concubine.”
Empress Chen looked down at his pale white hand and laughed lightly: ”Don't worry Noble Consort, I will naturally be at ease as well. I will wait for news from Prince Jin first.”
”The Xinyang Hall in spring is still rather beautiful.” Xue Ronghua smiled sweetly at Chu Zongge, breaking off a branch and putting it on her temple.
Chu Zongge revealed an appreciative look, looking at the beauty in the green dress, ”Xinyang Hall's Lv Ying is unique to the palace, I still remember when you came here last year, you had a good time in the cherry blossom forest.”
”I've never seen a green cherry blossom, so of course it's new.”
”Do you think the cherry blossoms are better looking or the peach blossoms are better looking?” Chu Zongge looked at her deeply, obviously reminding her of that day's rain of peach blossoms.
Xue Ronghua's cheeks flushed red as she said shyly: ”The cherry blossoms are fresh, the peach blossoms are bright and beautiful, they each have their own merits, didn't I tell you to wait first, how did you raise it again?”
Chu Zongge lowered his head and smiled, his gaze gentle: ”Okay, okay, okay. I made you wait a long time before answering your previous question, it's my turn to wait.”
”Let's not talk about this for now,” Xue Ronghua pretended to be calm and collected, ”What did you want to tell me by calling me here?”
”Oh, I forgot the proper matters,” Chu Zongge withdrew his gaze, and said seriously. ”The emperor has explained everything to me.”
”Everything?” Xue Ronghua gaped in shock, ”The Mrs. Heyi is your Royal Father's most beloved woman, I already knew about this back then. So what happened to her after that?”
”Because Liu’sArmy was completely destroyed on the battlefield and died for the country, Liu Chengyun blamed the Emperor for instigating the war and allowing her family to be the victims.”
”Then why did the Empress Chen stay in the Phoenix Position for twenty years?”
”Because Empress Chen looked very similar to Liu Chengyun, the emperor used her as a substitute. Later on, he felt guilty and made Empress Chen sit on the Phoenix Position the whole time, and even made his child a crown prince.”
”Then why doesn't the emperor like you?”
