The reborn beauty is pregnant again and again

Chapter 419: Evil and Scheming True Gold 37

Xiao Chenyan didn't care what this Concubine Lan thought. She was not the person he was looking for. To him, she was just someone who didn't want to do anything. He wouldn't even look at any woman other than Jiang Nanqiu.

The Empress Dowager's Palace

"Yan'er!"

The former queen, now the grand empress dowager, immediately walked forward when she saw Xiao Chenyan.

It had been many days since she had seen him, and the Empress Dowager was worried about his health, worried that he drank all day, and worried about his health. She knew that he was not doing well.

"Mother."

"I heard from Huier that you are going to leave the capital to look for the princess?"

She had already learned about this from Xiao Jinghui, and she couldn't accept it in her heart no matter what.

Xiao Chenyan nodded: "This time I came to the palace to bid you farewell. Although I am not in the palace, I will fulfill my filial duty on my behalf when I return."

The Empress Dowager's eyes were red: "How can they be the same? Hui'er is Hui'er, and you are you. One of you is a grandson, and the other is a son." Although she treated Xiao Jinghui as her own grandson, in her heart, Xiao Chenyan was the most important, after all, he was her biological son.

"My mother is old, and I don't know how long she can live. If something unexpected happens to her and you are no longer by her side, it will be extremely difficult for her to see you for the last time."

"If that moment really comes, I'm afraid my mother will die with regrets."

Her words were a bit harsh. Seeing her son's miserable expression, the Empress Dowager felt as if her heart was being stabbed by a knife, but she did not regret saying these words.

"Yan'er, do you know how old your mother is now?"

"My mother is already sixty-five years old. How many people can live to this age?"

She lives one day at a time now, and doesn't think about tomorrow anymore.

Xiao Chenyan's face became much more solemn and he didn't speak for a long time.

"Mother, I have asked the imperial physician, and he says you are still in good health." Xiao Chenyan clenched his fists. "Also, even if I am away from home, I will always pay attention to the letters from the capital. If you really have something to do, I will rush back overnight."

"No," the Empress Dowager shook her head, with some disappointment in her eyes: "Could it be that in your heart, the Queen Mother is not even as good as your Princess?"

"Even though the Queen Mother has said so much, you still insist on leaving Beijing. Yan'er, do you care about her so much?"

It is impossible for the Empress Dowager to have no resentment towards Jiang Nanqiu now. It is just that Xiao Chenyan likes her, so she did not show it in front of others.

"Her disappearance was obviously planned by her. She lied to the housekeeper and said that she was going to the palace in order to avoid being discovered immediately. After discovering that she was missing, you immediately blocked the capital and the surrounding checkpoints. But even so, she was still not found. This shows that she was actively avoiding you."

"This woman has already abandoned you. What else do you have to cling to? My mother never stopped you from looking for her before, but what you have done now really disappoints her."

Xiao Chenyan clenched his fists and knelt on the ground: "Mother, I am an unfilial son."

Hearing this, Taihou Taihao's expression became even uglier. She pointed at her with a trembling finger, and finally put it down.

"Forget it." She said this, but she was extremely angry in her heart.

"Go away. I don't want to see you anymore."

"Mother, I will come back to see you every six months. If I still can't find her after a year, I will not leave the capital again."

"Will you give up looking for her after a year?" The Queen Mother held a glimmer of hope in her heart. She was now hoping that Xiao Chenyan could come to his senses as soon as possible and marry a new woman, instead of wasting all his time on Jiang Nanqiu.

"No, I will keep looking for you."

But he will not leave the capital. His mother gave birth to him and raised him, and it is his responsibility.

The Empress Dowager stopped talking and said, "Forget it, then let's say for a year." She could barely accept this result. At least Xiao Chenyan could stay in the capital.

"What will you do if you can't find her, Yan'er? People should look forward. You should be prepared and let go when it's time to let go."

Xiao Chenyan's face was solemn, and his fierce eyes narrowed slightly: "Mother, I will find it."

His tone was determined.

The Empress Dowager was speechless: "What's the point of getting her back? Since she wants to leave on her own initiative, it means her heart is not with you. How can you keep her?"

"Why can't you keep it?"

Xiao Chenyan's eyes were filled with ruthlessness, "As long as I find her, I will find a way to make sure she will never leave me in this life."

"I will lock her up and punish her severely, so that she won't dare to go anywhere and won't dare to run away." As long as she can stay by his side, it will be fine.

The Empress Dowager was silent for a long time, and finally she sighed heavily.

"You are old now, and your mother can no longer control you. Your mother also hopes that you can find her as soon as possible and stop torturing yourself."

To be honest, how happy he was to marry the Empress Dowager before, how disgusted she is now. Who would have known that Jiang Nanqiu would run away? Her son became a lonely man again.

Palace Banquet

Jiang Nanqiu arrived earlier than Xiao Chenyan and the Queen Mother. Xiao Jinghui also came.

"The Imperial Uncle and the Imperial Grandmother are here." Xiao Chenyan stood up to greet them.

Jiang Nanqiu and the others at the banquet also stood up. The emperor was so respectful to the regent and the empress dowager, so they naturally had to do the same.

"Uncle, come and sit here."

Xiao Jinghui had already arranged the seats. On his left was the Empress Dowager, and on his right was Xiao Chenyan. Jiang Nanqiu sat at the bottom right, and her position was just very close to Xiao Chenyan.

Jiang Nanqiu was nervous and her palms were sweating. She didn't dare to turn her head around and just lowered her head to look at the table in front of her.

But Xiao Chenyan was Xiao Jinghui's respected uncle, so it was impossible for her to have no contact with him. For example, at this moment, Xiao Jinghui pulled her to toast Xiao Chenyan.

"Uncle, this is my nephew's new concubine. I will toast you with her."
