When Chu Zhao returned to the inner hall of Chaoyun Palace, Princess Huai'an, who was placed on the soft couch, just woke up.
The little girl looked at the surrounding environment with eyes as clear as glass and as timid as a deer. When she saw Chu Zhao coming in from the outside, she subconsciously shrank her neck and quickly hugged herself against the wall.
"Don't be afraid, princess. This is Princess Jingnan. It was the princess who saved you just now." Hong Xiao explained to her softly.
Princess Huai'an was doubtful and did not let down her guard because of this. It seemed that she had been hurt too much and became so sensitive and suspicious that she did not dare to trust others easily.
Chu Zhao walked to the couch and sat down, looking at her quietly, counting in his mind how many generations of his descendants these were.
I don't know if it's her imagination, but the little girl's confused eyebrows actually have some shadows of her own childhood.
She couldn't help but stretched out her hand, helped the little girl tidy up the messy hair on her temples, and said softly: "If you feel uncomfortable, princess, please tell me."
Princess Huai'an shivered under her gentle touch, and her big timid eyes were instantly filled with tears.
Since the death of the mother-in-law, no one has touched her with such gentle movements, and no one has cared about her with such gentle tones.
She couldn't believe it was true and thought she was in a dream.
She didn't dare to move, fearing that she would wake up from her dream. When she woke up, she was still sleeping on the messy weeds in the cold palace, with swarms of rats running past her.
"Concubine, is that you?" she asked in a tearful voice, her childish voice trembling slightly.
"No." Chu Zhao said, "I am not your mother-in-law, but I will take good care of you."
Princess Huai'an's dream was shattered, and tears of disappointment fell down.
She missed her mother-in-law so much.
Although the sister in front of me is very good, she is not a mother-in-law, and she will not accompany her forever.
Chu Zhao is not someone who is easy to be soft-hearted, but for some reason, the little girl burst into tears and her heart immediately softened into a puddle of water.
"Don't cry." She took out her handkerchief and wiped her tears, "From now on, you will follow me. I will not let anyone bully you at will, nor will I let you return to the cold palace where no one cares. From now on, I will Your support."
Princess Huai'an stared at her with big watery eyes and looked at her in disbelief: "Sister, are you sent by my mother-in-law? The mother-in-law said that after she goes to heaven, she will find a fairy sister to take care of her. Me, I’ve been waiting, I’ve been waiting, I’ve been waiting for more than two years and you haven’t come, I can’t hold on any longer, but my mother-in-law told me that I should never give up hope no matter when..."
She threw herself into Chu Zhao's arms and began to cry.
At this moment, she felt that she had waited for hope and for her fairy sister.
The little girl cried so sadly that Chu Zhao and the four girls were affected by her, and all of them had tears in their eyes.
"Yes, I am the fairy sister sent by your mother-in-law." Chu Zhao gently patted her back and stroked her messy hair, "I'm sorry that I was late for something and caused you to suffer a lot. When you come down, I will stay with you until you grow up, okay?"
"Okay..." Princess Huai'an cried and nodded in her arms, her bony arms hugging her tightly and never letting go.
In Ci'an Palace, Chu Xuan, who was called over by the Empress Dowager, was also talking about Princess Huai'an, saying that he did not have any thoughts about Princess Jingnan, but that he really felt sorry for Princess Huai'an, so he took her back to his palace and let Jingnan Princess Nan healed her.
"If you don't believe me, you can ask someone to ask. I learned that Concubine Li pushed Huai'an into the water, so I hurried to rescue her. Now I have put Concubine Li in the cold palace. If she dares to murder the emperor's heir, I will definitely kill her. Everyone in the family was executed." Chu Xuan said plausibly.
The Queen Mother watched coldly as her own son was talking nonsense in front of her, and the anger in her heart was rising.
She knows her son better than her mother, and she knows best what her son is thinking.
He was usually arrogant, extravagant and indulged in beauty, but he actually set his sights on Princess Jingnan.
Does he still think this harem is not chaotic enough?
"Come here." The Queen Mother sat on the couch and waved to the Emperor.
Chu Xuan didn't dare to go, but he didn't dare not to go either. He walked over timidly and asked, "Mother, don't you believe me?"
The Queen Mother sneered, raised her hand and slapped her: "You idiot, don't you think the Ai family knows what you are?"
Chu Xuan was so slapped that his eyes were filled with stars, his ears were ringing, he covered his face and shouted in pain: "Queen Mother, I am your son!"
"If you weren't my son, I would have strangled you to death a hundred times." The Queen Mother gritted her teeth and said, "You don't understand Princess Jingnan at all, so you dare to provoke her at will. Do you know how cunning that woman is? Even Yunjie can't outsmart her, do you think you are more durable than Yunjie?"
Chu Xuan was already angry after being beaten, but when he heard the Queen Mother comparing He Yunjie to him again, he suddenly lost control of his emotions and flew into a rage:
"Yunjie Yunjie, my mother talks about Yunjie all day long. Who is your biological child between me and him? He is so good, why don't you just abolish me and let him be the emperor? Anyway, I am the puppet emperor in front of you. It’s not interesting!”
The Queen Mother was greatly shocked. Looking at the pale-faced emperor in front of her with bulging blue veins, she couldn't believe that he was her submissive son who couldn't stand up to the wall.
Recalling what He Yunjie had just said to her, she couldn't help but become alert, pointed at Chu Xuan and said sternly: "Tell me honestly, did Feng Guanlan and Princess Jingnan say something to you?"
Chu Xuan rubbed his face and remembered what Feng Guanlan told him. He forced himself to calm down and said: "What can he tell me? I just want to keep Princess Jingnan in the palace to treat Huai'an. He will report to his mother." In my case, if my mother heard the news so quickly, couldn't it be that the dead eunuch was gossiping behind her back?"
The Queen Mother was stunned, unable to tell whether his words were true or false.
"You have never taken care of that child in Huai'an since he was born. At this time,
But you pretend to be a loving father, do you really think that Aijia doesn't know what you are planning? "
Chu Xuan choked, and then said angrily: "I can't take advantage of Princess Jingnan, can He Yunjie do it? As soon as I called Princess Jingnan over, He Yunjie came over hurriedly, holding Jingnan's hand. The princess’s hand took the man away, why didn’t the queen mother say anything about him?”
The Queen Mother was stunned again: "Are you sure we are holding hands?"
"Of course I'm sure." Chu Xuan still felt aggrieved when he mentioned this, and said angrily, "He took the person away in front of me, protecting him like a darling, looking at me like an ice knife, wishing he could be there on the spot Stab me to death."
The Queen Mother's heart sank suddenly, she was even more nervous than when she heard her own son approaching Princess Jingnan.
Her nephew, who had been cold-hearted, reserved and restrained since he was a child, kept his emotions and anger intangible, like a Bodhisattva who has seen through the world of mortals, could he now have his Buddha's heart shaken by a woman?
And this woman is still a married woman.
No!
Regardless of whether this was true or not, she couldn't sit idly by.
Xuan'er and Yunjie grew up together, and the relationship between cousins has always been very good. Princess Jingnan had only entered the palace for a few days, and they turned against each other. No matter how important this woman was, they could not keep her forever.
"You go back first!" The Queen Mother waved her hand, "Remember not to provoke Princess Jingnan again, and don't agree to Feng Guanlan's ideas in the morning tomorrow."
Chu Xuan's eyes flickered for a moment, then he lowered his eyes and replied respectfully: "Okay, Queen Mother, I understand."
He bowed and exited the hall, his expression immediately becoming fierce.
As expected, Feng Guanlan knew his mother very well and predicted her behavior in advance.
This time, he insisted on being tough. He wanted to see what would happen if he didn't listen to his mother!
The little girl looked at the surrounding environment with eyes as clear as glass and as timid as a deer. When she saw Chu Zhao coming in from the outside, she subconsciously shrank her neck and quickly hugged herself against the wall.
"Don't be afraid, princess. This is Princess Jingnan. It was the princess who saved you just now." Hong Xiao explained to her softly.
