After my rebirth, I became the white moonlight in the Beijing circle

Thinking about how Fu Ping had stopped him from posthumously conferring the title on Jiu Niang, Lu Linchu became even more disappointed: "My Lord Father-in-law is becoming even more ignorant now. Even Gui Yun wanted to share my worries, but today he actually disobeyed my order in front of all the ministers."

"After all, they are connected by heart, so one of them has to play the good cop and the other the bad cop."

Chu Huaixi said calmly: "The Queen and His Majesty have a deep love for each other, and she is the biological mother of the eldest prince and Princess Yu. Naturally, she dare not speak directly to His Majesty about many things."

Hearing that she was indirectly suspicious of Gui Yun, Lu Linchu's eyes darkened.

"Huai Xi, stop making random assumptions."

Lu Linchu said unhappily, "If the Queen had no intention of asking for a title for Jiu Niang, she only needed to agree to posthumously confer the title of Imperial Noble Consort on Jiu Niang today. Why would she take the initiative to mention posthumously conferring the title of Queen on Jiu Niang?"

Chu Huaixi was somewhat shocked when she heard this: "It was the Queen who took the initiative to mention this posthumous title?"

She couldn't see through that woman. Could it be that she didn't care about His Majesty at all that she allowed His Majesty to posthumously confer a title on a concubine?

Lu Linchu was a little disappointed with her reaction.

"Huai Xi, you are a smart person, and I know what you are thinking."

Lu Linchu said, "You want to posthumously confer the title on Jiu Niang, just to pave the way for yourself. I can understand this, but Guiyun is Chen'er and Yu'er's biological mother, so she naturally hopes that the two children will be more grateful to her. She has never had any bad intentions, and her heart is in my Lu family."

Chu Huaixi couldn't help but feel moved when the emperor saw through his thoughts.

She was indeed in a passive state now. She and Du Jiuniang were both taboos of the Lu family. They were two irresistible wills left by Lu Chen and that old woman Ye.

She knew very well that if she wanted to have a smooth path to promotion, His Majesty must first break Du Jiuniang's taboo. After all, in his heart, the weight of that dead man far exceeded her own.

Lu Linchu also had the intention of promoting Chu Huaixi, which was why he did not agree with the Queen's decision to confer the title of Imperial Concubine on Fang Yi.

But Chu Huaixi has been making him increasingly dissatisfied lately.

When I mobilized troops to deal with the fourth brother, not many people in the palace knew about it except the army. The late emperor had been bedridden, and no one told him, so the late emperor could not have noticed.

He vaguely realized that this matter was related to Chu Huaixi, but he had no evidence.

The late emperor would know about the fourth brother's affairs sooner or later anyway, and he had no intention of pursuing the matter further, but Gui Yun had always been a thorn in his heart, and he would not tolerate others' suspicion.

Gently pinching Chu Huaixi's cheek, Lu Linchu smiled with a deep look in his eyes: "Huaixi, when I was young, I was too willful and was deceived by those treacherous women. As a result, I ignored Guiyun on my wedding night, causing her to suffer a lot of grievances."

"I have failed her for fame, wealth and the Lu family's foundation over the years, but she has always worked hard to discipline my children, respect my parents and manage the Lu family's business. To me, she is not only a husband and wife, but also a benefactor of my Lu family. Even though the Fu family is more powerful now, that is the treatment they deserve. You shouldn't slander the queen for this."

Chu Huaixi was terrified when he heard this. He had only casually commented on the Queen and her daughter, but he didn't expect that His Majesty would take it so seriously.

She deeply felt the importance of the Queen in His Majesty's heart, and quickly knelt down to plead guilty: "I deserve death, but I have no intention of disrespecting the Queen."

Seeing her look of fear and trepidation, Lu Linchu smiled and helped her up: "I don't mean to blame you, and I know you have no ill intentions. You and Guiyun are both my closest people, and I don't want any rift between the two of you."

After thinking for a while, he said in a firm tone: "Since the Queen agrees to posthumously confer the title, I will issue an edict tomorrow to confer the title posthumously on Jiu Niang. By then, it will be a natural process to confer you the title of Imperial Concubine. When your father is brought back, your family will be reunited, and you can live a peaceful life in the palace from now on."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Chu Huaixi was delighted when she heard this. She thought that he had not been close to her for a long time and was worried that he would want to go to the Queen's Palace again. She hurriedly got up and helped him change his clothes: "Your Majesty, you are tired today. Let me serve you and let you rest."

Previously, she was worried about being punished by Lu Chen and Old Lady Ye, so she had to take contraceptive soup every time after making love with him. Now that she is free from these concerns, she also wants to conceive with His Majesty's child as soon as possible, so that she will have someone to rely on in the future.

Chu Huaixi leaned against his arms tenderly and said lovingly: "Your Majesty loves me deeply. I only regret that I could not give birth to a heir for Your Majesty earlier. I want to..."

Before she could finish her words, Lu Linchu hurriedly pushed her away and said, "I'm not in good shape lately, so there's no need to rush this matter."

He smiled calmly and immediately evaded the question, "The Queen has just arrived in Dongyi. I have not seen her for more than a year and I want to go see her again."

Having said that, he left in a hurry.

Chu Huaixi felt very lost as he watched him quickly disappear.

Looking carefully at her makeup, it is no different from Du Jiuniang's. Why is His Majesty becoming less and less interested in her?

She was very puzzled. Could it be that becoming emperor had changed his temperament so much that he became so indifferent to matters between men and women?

Fortunately, her father and family are coming back soon. She only needs to proceed step by step, help her father and brother to high positions, and then find a way to conceive a dragon heir for His Majesty as soon as possible. By then, the world of Daning will belong to her Chu family.

……

Lu Linchu came out of Chu Huaixi's courtyard and subconsciously glanced at the place where he was injured.

In the past, he didn't like forcing Gui Yun, which caused her to not be able to consummate their marriage until now. This is the biggest regret in his heart now.

After returning to the Yangxin Palace, he immediately summoned Cheng Kui and asked directly, "When Doctor Xue left, did he say when he would return to Jiangzuo?"

Cheng Kui had already begun to suspect that the emperor had a hidden illness, and was secretly investigating the matter in accordance with the empress's instructions. His sudden mention of Doctor Xue could not help but make people more suspicious.

"Divine Doctor Xue did not mention any issues regarding his whereabouts."

Cheng Kui answered truthfully, and then asked cautiously: "Why did your majesty suddenly ask about Doctor Xue?"

Lu Linchu's eyes turned stern: "Don't ask about things you shouldn't ask about."

After thinking for a while, he said, "Go and bring Imperial Physician Liu to me."

"Yes."

Cheng Kui didn't dare to ask any more questions and immediately left.

After he left, Lu Linchu thought about calling Lu Hui first and ordered him to secretly take people to guard outside the Yangxin Palace. When Imperial Physician Liu arrived, he only summoned him into the palace.

Leaning on the couch, Lu Linchu supported his chin with one hand, his little finger unconsciously curled up: "Liu Imperial Physician, you have worked hard for my Lu family for many years and have always been loyal. Today I have an important matter to ask you, you must answer me truthfully, and you must not hide anything."

Seeing His Majesty's seductive posture, Imperial Physician Liu felt his hair stand on end. He replied with trepidation, "Please give your instructions, Your Majesty. I will tell you everything I know."

"Very good, come forward."

Lu Linchu beckoned him to come over and said softly, "I have been feeling increasingly unwell lately. Please take my pulse."

Imperial Physician Liu stepped forward tremblingly and tried to take his pulse. As soon as he felt the pulse, his heart began to tremble uncontrollably.
