The reborn beauty is pregnant again and again

Chapter 420: Evil and Scheming True Gold 38

Xiao Chenyan raised his glass with a stern expression, looked at them, and drank the wine.

"Hui'er is much younger than you, and he already has a concubine, but now you..." Seeing this, the Empress Dowager couldn't help but speak. However, her voice was very low, and only a few of them could hear it.

"You two are a perfect match, talented man and beautiful woman." Xiao Chenyan knew that Xiao Jinghui had a habit of liking beautiful things since he was a child.

And this Concubine Lan is so beautiful, it is impossible for Xiao Jinghui not to like her.

Xiao Jinghui raised the corner of his mouth, "Thank you, uncle."

During the banquet, Jiang Nanqiu couldn't help but peek at Xiao Chenyan several times because she felt guilty. But every time she was very careful and secretive, and believed that Xiao Chenyan would not notice.

"Go check on this Concubine Lan." After the banquet, as soon as Eunuch Wu got on the carriage, he heard Xiao Chenyan's order.

"Your Majesty, what's wrong with this Concubine Lan?"

Xiao Chenyan's face was grim. During the banquet, she secretly glanced at him five times.

"Your Highness, maybe she is interested in you?" After hearing the reason why Xiao Chenyan wanted to investigate Lan Zhaoyi this time, Wu Tai couldn't help but speculate. It was really because his prince was too beautiful.

Xiao Chenyan glanced at him coldly and said, "Just check it out. I believe that she is an assassin who deliberately approached the emperor." Her purpose was to assassinate them, uncle and nephew.

Eunuch Wu nodded and said no more.

............

"The emperor's uncle has left the capital." Xiao Jinghui pinched his eyebrows, "I just feel empty in my heart. Although the emperor's uncle does not interfere in state affairs on weekdays, I feel at ease with him around." Even if something happens, the emperor's uncle will help him behind the scenes.

"Is the prince leaving the capital for some important matter? Jiang Nanqiu asked tentatively while grinding for him."

"It's not a big deal," Xiao Jinghui said, adding, "but it is a big deal for the emperor's uncle. He still has to go look for his princess, so he will be away from the capital for a year."

Jiang Nanqiu's hand trembled.

Xiao Chenyan sent so many people to look for her but to no avail, and now he wants to look for her in person? Is he not angry with her at all?

If she was abandoned by someone, she would hate that person for the rest of her life and would never look for him. But Xiao Chenyan...hasn't he given up on this unfaithful woman?

"What's wrong with you? Did anything scare you?" Xiao Jinghui said with a smile.

Jiang Nanqiu shook her head. "I am just a little surprised. Why hasn't Your Majesty given up yet?"

"I don't know why my uncle is so obsessed and infatuated." Xiao Jinghui found it difficult to understand, but he also respected his uncle's decision.

"Before his death, Grandfather Emperor wanted to make a concubine for Uncle Emperor, but Uncle Emperor refused. Now, he is fighting against the court officials for this woman."

"My uncle is willing to be with this woman forever. But she doesn't cherish him. There will never be another man as good as my uncle in the world."

Jiang Nanqiu's face turned pale, and she could only say softly, "Yes, this woman is not worthy of being treated like this by the prince."

"My grandmother must be upset that my uncle has left the capital. During this period of time, you should accompany my grandmother more on my behalf."

After ascending the throne, Xiao Jinghui realized that there were too many things to do in the government, and he was often too busy to handle them. Even if a beauty like Jiang Nanqiu was by his side, he had no time to accompany her.

"Okay, I understand."

Sure enough, less than ten days after Xiao Chenyan left Beijing, the Empress Dowager fell ill. Jiang Nanqiu was the only one in the harem, so she had to go and take care of her in person.

Although the Empress Dowager's illness was just a cold, it was severe and took a long time to heal. Jiang Nanqiu took care of her for half a month before the Empress Dowager recovered.

"You are a good child. Thank you for your hard work during this period." The Queen Mother looked at Jiang Nanqiu and said with a smile.

At first, the Empress Dowager didn't like her because her stunning appearance reminded her of Jiang Nanqiu.

Because Jiang Nanqiu was very beautiful and she had abandoned her own son, the Empress Dowager had a prejudice against extremely beautiful women.

"This is my duty, it's not hard work." Jiang Nanqiu put down the bowl of soup and helped her lie down, "Grand Empress Dowager, please have a good rest."

When the Empress Dowager caught a cold, Jiang Nanqiu thought about using the contents of the sachet. However, Jiang Nanqiu was worried that the effect was too good, so he didn't use it immediately until yesterday.

The effect of this treasure is indeed very good. The Empress Dowager is much better today. She is also in much better spirits.

"If she were like you, I would wake up laughing even in my dreams."

The Empress Dowager looked at her and sighed.

"I don't know how Yan'er is doing?" He has been ill for many days, and now the Empress Dowager misses her son even more.

"If the prince knew that you were sick, he would definitely return to Beijing soon." Jiang Nanqiu heard the Empress Dowager mutter this almost every day during these days.

"Not necessarily." The Empress Dowager said in a hoarse voice, "I know him. He has been like this since he was a child. He looks cold and indifferent in front of outsiders, speaks little, and rarely gets close to others. But once he likes something or someone, he will be particularly persistent."

The Empress Dowager sighed, and Xiao Chenyan's childhood memories came back to her mind.

"I remember he had a cat when he was a child. When the cat died, Yan'er cried very hard."

"At that time, Yan'er was already older, and I hadn't seen him cry for a long time, but he cried very sadly that time."

"Just imagine, if pets can be like this, what about humans?"

The Grand Empress Dowager held Jiang Nanqiu's hand and said, "My son, once he has made up his mind, he will not defend himself. He is extremely stubborn. He didn't want to get married before, and no one could persuade him. Now he is stubbornly in love with a woman, and he refuses to give up. I am really afraid. What should I do if he can't find her?"

The more the Empress Dowager spoke, the more depressed she felt.

"If I can find her, as long as she is safe and sound with Yan'er, I can forgive everything that happened in the past."

The Empress Dowager's bottom line was lowered again and again, and she was not without complaints. But she was finally willing to let it go for her son's sake.

........

Jiang Nanqiu came out of the Empress Dowager's palace and couldn't help feeling guilty when he thought about what she had said.

She didn't expect that Xiao Chenyan still couldn't let it go. She was such a bad woman, and everything she did before was just pretending. How could he still not let it go even though he knew her true face?

Seeing Xiao Chenyan like this, Jiang Nanqiu felt more and more guilty, but she couldn't ignore the immortal's mission.

........

“Return to Beijing.”

Xiao Chenyan had just been out of the capital for a few days when he heard that his mother was ill, so he had to rush back.

The letter was quite serious, so Xiao Chenyan did not dare to delay and rushed back to the capital overnight. He finally arrived today.

While feeding the horses, Eunuch Wu handed over the information he had collected over the past few days to Xiao Chenyan.

"Your Highness, this is the information about Concubine Lan that you wanted to check last time. It's all here." Eunuch Wu had just sorted it out.

"Your Majesty, this Concubine Lan does not seem to have any problems."

"A farmer's daughter? Grew up in a temple?" Xiao Chenyan asked as he looked at the letter.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I took Lan Zhaoyi's portrait to the temple and asked her. She was indeed raised in the temple since she was a child."
