The reborn beauty is pregnant again and again

Chapter 689: The Coveted Minister's Wife 38

When Concubine Chen just walked into the imperial study, she saw Emperor Huiying sitting on the throne looking at her with his indifferent and cold eyes.

Concubine Chen's heart skipped a beat and her face turned pale.

She staggered and almost fell to the ground. After all, the imperial study was a strictly guarded place, and ordinary people were not allowed to enter. Concubine Chen could come in, but the people who served her, including the most caring Madam Qian, were left outside the door.

Emperor Huiying naturally saw all of this, but he just sat there motionless.

Normally, he would have rushed over to help her sit down and coax her. But today, he just didn't want to move.

But the way he tightened his grip on the throne's handle still betrayed his inner turmoil.

Naturally, Concubine Chen also felt that something was wrong with the Emperor today.

In the past, when I went to see the emperor, or when the emperor came to my palace, the emperor would always be very concerned about me. But it was not like this now, when I was almost unable to stand, and the emperor did not make any move.

Concubine Chen sorted out her thoughts, put the food box in her hand on the table, and said slowly, "Your Majesty has not been to the harem these days. It must be because the affairs of the former court are too busy, but you must also take care of your health. I made a longan and lotus seed soup, which is just right for drinking. Your Majesty, please have a taste."

As she spoke, she took out the bowl of lotus seed soup from the lunch box.

The lotus seed soup looked very appetizing. Although it was not made by Concubine Chen herself, she had done her best. After all, she thought of herself and brought it here.

Emperor Huiying thought back to the years they had been married, and they could count on both hands how many times they had experienced such things. His heart softened inexplicably.

His expression finally looked better, and he said, "My beloved is so thoughtful." After saying that, he took a few sips and found it really delicious.

While he was drinking the lotus seed soup, Concubine Chen just watched quietly without saying a word.

Perhaps because she saw the emperor drink most of the lotus seed soup and his expression was no longer as stern and scary as it was at the beginning, Concubine Chen finally felt relieved and her face regained some redness.

Emperor Huiying watched her quietly.

It was rare for Concubine Chen to take the initiative to visit Emperor Huiying. Seeing that the emperor was in a better mood, she hesitated to speak.

In the past, whenever she showed such an expression, the emperor would take the initiative to ask her, "What's wrong with my beloved concubine?" However, today Emperor Huiying seemed to be blind and did not ask.

Seeing Emperor Huiying finish his soup and pick up a book to read, the entire imperial study fell into silence. Concubine Chen was even more speechless and decided to leave.

When Concubine Chen was about to stand up and say goodbye to the Emperor, Emperor Huiying had already seen through her thoughts.

In fact, he was not reading a book, but he was just confused and didn't want to speak. However, he had to be honest about the child, so he asked, "My dear, are you going to leave now? Is this the reason you came here today?" As he spoke, his eyes moved to the lotus seed soup.

Concubine Chen felt a little uncomfortable, but she still said, "I have something else to do."

Emperor Huiying put down the book in his hand, looked at her, and motioned for her to speak.

Concubine Chen thought for a moment and said, "I have been feeling uneasy lately and have nightmares all the time, so I came to see the emperor. I am relieved that the emperor is fine. However, I am worried about the young minister."

She hesitated, but still asked, "Does the emperor know what he has been doing recently?"

Emperor Huiying did not speak.

He knew everything the imperial concubine did. However, he wanted her to ask him herself, instead of him just bowing his head.

Been logging in for a while...not bad.

However, thinking of the fifth prince, Emperor Huiying couldn't help but tear up.

"Shufang, you finally remembered him."

But even though she finally remembered the fifth prince, Emperor Huiying still did not feel comforted, but rather felt desolate, because there was a voice in his heart that kept telling him that it was too late.

Yes, it's too late.

He once wanted to give this son the best of everything.

Shufang was the name of Concubine Chen. Her surname was Zhu.

When she heard the emperor calling her like that, she didn't feel good, but instead felt an unknown fear. Panic appeared on her face.

"Him, what happened to him? Did this young minister do something wrong again, Your Majesty?" Concubine Chen asked fearfully.

Emperor Huiying calmed down for a moment, then asked in a deep voice, "I have been wondering these days how Shuyu died. My beloved concubine, can you tell me?"

When Concubine Chen heard the name, all the redness on her face disappeared and she turned extremely pale.

She has been well protected over the years and is very innocent, but she still hides her emotions. However, at this moment, the panic on her face was all revealed.

Emperor Hui Ying looked at the expression on her face and his heart sank to the bottom. "She was so good to you back then, how could you bear to..."

His men are not useless, and they have found out a lot about those things.

Concubine Chen quickly recovered her composure and said, "I don't know what Your Majesty is talking about. Your Majesty, don't you know how Shuyu died? Have you seen her body?"

Emperor Huiying was very sad that she was still trying to hide her thoughts.

"I have already investigated everything that happened back then. My beloved, are you still planning to hide it?" he asked.

Concubine Chen didn't say anything, her eyes were filled with tears.
