After the divorce, the princess was forced to raise a sickly villain

Chu Qinghuang entered and left the palace in less than an hour.

After entering the palace, she was left alone by the emperor in the palace. It was unknown what she said. After leaving the palace, she went back to the Princess's Mansion. She looked neither happy nor unhappy.

Her face was calm and unpredictable, and it was difficult for people to judge some signs from her face.

"Xiao Qi's expression is calm?" In Ganquan Palace, Concubine Duan, who had been waiting for news since early morning, frowned, "No reaction?"

"Nothing can be seen." Madam Yuan shook her head: "This old slave sent someone to inquire, but returned empty-handed."

Concubine Duan was silent for a moment: "Did the emperor pass on any news?"

"No." Madam Yuan continued to shake her head, "After the Princess left, the emperor stayed alone in the Yugan Palace. I don't know if he was thinking about things or reviewing memorials. Even Eunuch Chen didn't know."

As soon as these words came out, Concubine Duan suddenly had an ominous premonition in her heart.

The emperor and Qing Huang were having a secret conversation, and even the chief steward Chen Hai was not able to serve them nearby. What does this mean?

Concubine Duan's face was gloomy: "If Qinghuang ruined the reputation of the Ling family in front of the emperor, or randomly framed some crimes on the Ling family, would the emperor believe her words?"

"Probably not." Nanny Yuan hesitated, "After all, the Ling family is the uncle's family of the princess, and the princess can't frame her uncle."

"After so many years, don't you understand her temperament?" Concubine Duan became more and more annoyed, "She can't even accommodate me as her mother, how can she take her uncle seriously?"

Nanny Zhao poured a cup of tea over, "Your Majesty, don't worry too much. As long as General Ling behaves uprightly, no matter how the princess makes up, the emperor will only think that it's just a little girl's temper, and won't take it seriously."

"That's right." Nanny Yuan nodded, "After so many years, your Majesty has seen the emperor's trust and love for the Ling family. You won't be deceived by the princess's words. Your Majesty, please rest assured."

Reassured?

Concubine Duan's heart was beating hard, how could she feel at ease?

"Madame Zhao." She suppressed her uneasiness and tried her best to stay calm. "The weather has been hot recently, and the lotus in the lake should be blooming well. I want to hold a lotus viewing banquet in the Imperial Garden and invite the noble ladies of the imperial capital to come to the palace to enjoy the flowers and drink tea. You can draw up a list later and have someone send out the invitations tomorrow morning."

Madame Zhao accepted the order: "Yes."

Princess's Mansion

"Less than half an hour after the master left, the emperor ordered the three heads of the Dark Chamber to enter the Yugan Palace."

Chu Qinghuang had returned to the princess's mansion and was leaning against the window reading a book. When she heard Fu Cang's report, she said in a casual tone: "What do you think the emperor wanted to summon the three of them for?"

Fu Cang said: "They said that the emperor wanted Ling Ancheng to be seriously injured or poisoned, but no external injuries could be seen."

"They said?" Chu Qinghuang raised her eyes, "Did they tell you?"

"Yes." Fu Cang pursed his lips and said in an extremely respectful tone, "The master said that I want you to be in charge of the Dark Chamber, and I am working hard."

If the three heads don't listen, there is no need for them to exist.

Chu Qinghuang hummed: "Not bad."

Fu Cang was praised and lowered his eyebrows and said: "This is what I should do."

Chu Qinghuang didn't say anything. After a long while, I don't know what he suddenly thought of, and raised his hand to wave to Fu Cang.

Fu Cang took two steps forward and knelt in front of the couch.

Chu Qinghuang reached out and touched his head: "Keep working hard in the future. I am very satisfied with your ability."

Fu Cang pursed his lips and whispered yes, his eyebrows and eyes were gentle.

"I would like to take a half-hour leave tonight."

Ask for leave?

Chu Qinghuang raised his eyebrows: "What are you going to do?"

"Go to the Ling family to get something."

Chu Qinghuang stared at him silently for a moment, and nodded slowly: "It is not advisable to hurt more lives for the time being, come back after getting the things."

The Ling family is about to die, there is no need to cause trouble at this juncture. Before the emperor takes action, it is best for them to stay put.

"Yes."
