I really dare not mess with the Queen Mother

At the end of the morning court, Qin Zhao returned to the bedroom in a good mood. When she returned, the little eunuchs in the palace were busy.

Xiao Shengzi yelled and cursed while directing: "Little brats, be careful, these are all given to our Highness by the empress, if they get bumped, you can't bear it!"

A group of servants responded again and again: "Yes..."

Seeing that Qin Zhao was back, Xiao Shengzi immediately came forward to meet Qin Zhao, and saluted with a smile: "Your Highness Sixth, are you back?" Remember, you are the prince now, so you can no longer call him by the old title."

Qin Zhao rubbed his eyes and asked him, "What are you busy with?"

Xiao Shengzi explained: "If you go back to the crown prince, the empress has a decree for you to move to the East Palace."

Qin Zhao nodded: "Success, then you should be busy."

She sat down on the chair, and Xiao Shengzi immediately called the maid to serve her tea to quench her thirst.

After a while, Qin Zhao said that he was hungry again, and Xiao Shengzi immediately asked someone to go to the small kitchen to prepare meals for her.

Although Qin Zhao didn't pay much attention to the personnel transfer in the palace on weekdays, since Gu Junran mentioned to her to change people in the palace in the early morning, a group of strangers have been changed to serve her now.

Compared with those people before, these palace people are indeed more diligent.

She ate a few mouthfuls of beef noodles and drank half a bowl of soup. Her stomach was full and her mind gradually cleared up.

Although it was Gu Junran who raised the account of the state treasury, not her, but she had a hunch that those ministers who opposed it in the court naturally put this account on her head.

She always felt that her role as the prince was not safe. Fortunately, Gu Junran was there. She then thought about it again. According to the plot in the original text, after the third prince ascended the throne, Gu Junran listened to the government behind the curtain. Although the original body as cannon fodder was made the emperor The third prince abused him terribly, but in fact, the government is still controlled by Gu Junran.

From this point of view, maybe the third prince Qin Shou and Chen Fangfei shouldn't be the protagonists in this book, shouldn't the real protagonist be Gu Junran?

The scene in her mind suddenly played back. When she flattered Gu Junran and praised her for being amazing, Gu Junran gave her a look and silently said, "Come to see Bengong today."

Qin Zhao's eyes fell on a box that was being held by a little eunuch beside him. The small red square box was a piece of jade that Gu Junran gave her.

After Gu Junran knew that she liked jade, he always sent someone to bring it to her. It was not easy for someone with Gu Junran's personality to treat her so kindly.

But it was because Gu Junran was so kind to her that she didn't know how to fight back.

The move lasted the whole morning, and it was not until the sun hung in the sky at noon that she moved her scattered items to the East Palace. In fact, there were not many things. The two largest boxes were given to her by Gu Junran those gifts occupied.

When she stepped into the East Palace, she only felt that the stove was burning vigorously. She wanted to take off the thick robe on her body, but when she thought about going out later, she gave up.

When it was time for lunch, Xiao Shengzi ran in and asked her, "Prince, what do you want to eat for lunch today? The servant from the imperial dining room came to ask."

"Whatever, it's not that particular." After Qin Zhao finished speaking, he walked to the bronze mirror and took a look at his clothes.

The bright yellow brocade robe was embroidered with four-clawed dragon patterns, and the neckline was a wide fluffy collar. She straightened her back and took a look in the mirror again, looking quite heroic.

She grinned again, and the man in the mirror smiled back.

Qin Zhao rubbed his chin, thinking with fear, if he had such a cute and handsome appearance, if he saw Gu Junran and explained it, would Gu Junran be angry with her?

Xiao Shengzi's voice suddenly came: "Prince, this servant heard something today, and I don't know if it should be appropriate..."

Before Xiao Shengzi finished speaking, Qin Zhao said, "What are you talking about? Is it boring to hesitate?"

"Cough..." Xiao Shengzi coughed lightly, and said falteringly: "I heard that you bumped into a little maid near the Leng Palace last night."

It's okay if Xiao Shengzi doesn't say anything, but when she mentions Qin Zhaogang's psychological construction, it collapses again.

"If you say yes, then there is..." Qin Zhao sighed angrily.

Xiao Shengzi smiled wryly and said: "When I went to my master today, my master told me that you, as the crown prince, need to register as a crown prince and concubine, as well as the prince's side concubine..."

Qin Zhao responded, "Ang, but I'm not interested."

Xiao Shengzi: "...Yes, this servant just thinks that you have a noble status now, so many people will rush in front of you... If you really did something and offended the Empress..."

Qin Zhao was taken aback, turned to look at him, and said speechlessly: "I said you, what do you mean? Ah? I have nothing to do with that little palace maid. Should I explain it to you? Ah?"

She rarely spoke so loudly, so Xiao Shengzi thought she was angry, and immediately knelt down to apologize.

As soon as he knelt, all the servants in the East Palace also knelt and cheered.

Qin Zhao waved his hand helplessly: "Forget it, forget it, it doesn't make sense with someone like you!"

As she spoke, she lifted her robe and walked out of the hall.

Xiao Shengzi got up in a panic and immediately chased after him: "Prince, where are you going?"

Qin Zhao sighed softly, and glared at him angrily: "Where else can I go? Plead my ancestor's guilt!"

Xiao Shengzi: "..."

Qin Zhao went all the way to Gu Junran's Fengqi Palace, but the little eunuch guarding the gate told her that Gu Junran was not there.

Qin Zhao asked her, "Where did the empress go?"

The little eunuch replied: "The master came back from the early court, and was called away by the concubine Chen."

Qin Zhao was startled, Concubine Chen?

The mother concubine of the third prince, concubine Chen?

It was explained in the original text that Gu Junran and the third prince's biological mother, Concubine Su Chen, seemed to have some kind of friendship, so that she has been supporting the third prince's ascension to the throne.

After all, if these two people have no relationship, how can a mere concubine concubine directly call and drink the queen of the first dynasty.

Qin Zhao could only say: "Then I'll come back later, and remember to tell the empress that I've been here."

The little eunuch hurriedly said: "Yes, this servant obeys."

Qin Zhao said again: "When she comes back, you remember to go to the East Palace to inform me."

The little eunuch answered: "Yes."

……

Qin Zhao returned to the East Palace and waited for a long time, but no one came to report the news of Gu Junran's return to Fengqi Palace.

Gu Junran's news did not arrive, but Tai Fu Feng Bonian arrived.

Qin Zhao felt that he hadn't seen him for a few days, but old man Feng seemed to have a longer beard, and he still looked like a proud scholar, wearing white clothes with a touch of immortality.

Feng Bonian saluted her first, then stood still and looked at Qin Zhao.

Qin Zhao understood that Feng Bonian was waiting for her to perform the master-apprentice salute, so Qin Zhao also saluted respectfully.

After worshiping the master, Feng Bonian came out with a few books and put them on the table.

Qin Zhao was very sensible and drove out all the waiters in the house, and Feng Bonian began to give her a lecture.

Qin Zhao sounded a little boring, not because Feng Bonian didn't speak well, but because her mind was full of Gu Junran being called by the hero's mother to do something?

Gu Junran said several times before that he wanted to protect her.

In fact, she really believed it. She could see Gu Junran's kindness to her.

But she disagreed with the third prince in the morning today, if Gu Junran helped her but not the third prince, then the concubine Chen, who is the mother of the third prince, would naturally have an opinion, if it was for this reason that Gu Junran was called away.

Then will Gu Junran continue to protect her?

This kind of speculation seems to be a normal logic.

An hour later, Feng Bonian finally finished his lecture, and left her homework again, saying that he would come to teach her the next morning after she got off morning.

After Feng Bonian left, Qin Zhao originally planned to finish the homework assigned by old man Feng ahead of schedule.

But she couldn't sit still in the East Palace, so she put down her pen and walked out of the palace.

The direction was to go to Gu Junran's bedroom, and when he came to the bedroom, he saw Jinli, the eldest maid of Fengqi Palace, walking forward with her head down in a panic.

Jinli didn't see Qin Zhao approaching until Qin Zhao called her to stop.

"His Royal Highness?" Jinli was stunned: "Are you here to see the Empress?"

Qin Zhao responded, "Well, where is she?"

Jinli said anxiously: "I just heard that my maidservant has fallen into the water in the lotus pond, and was just rescued and sent to the imperial hospital."

Qin Zhao was taken aback: "What? How is she? Is she okay?"

"Your servant doesn't know!" Jinli said in a panic, "It's so cold and the water is cold, what if something happens to the empress, what should I do?"

Qin Zhao forcibly stabilized his mind and asked, "Is she in the Imperial Hospital now?"

Jinli replied: "Yes, the slave girl has found out clearly, and is planning to go back to the palace to prepare clean clothes for the empress to send over."

Qin Zhao frowned: "I'll go with you."

I was taken aback for a moment.

All I can say is, "Okay, Prince."

After Jinli arrived at the Imperial Hospital, Qin Zhao couldn't tell what it was like in his heart.

Tai Hospital is located in the westernmost part of the palace, and there is a pungent smell of medicine as soon as you enter.

When the little medical officer at the door saw her coming, he immediately led her to see the queen. Qin Zhao held the clean clothes for Gu Junran in his hand, knocked on the door and entered.

The light inside was a bit dim, and she saw Gu Junran sitting by the bed as soon as she glanced at her. Her body was wet, and there were water stains on the ground. Her complexion still looked cool and noble, but the expression on her face was not very good.

The imperial physician was standing on the side and giving instructions.

When the two imperial physicians saw Qin Zhao coming in, they immediately knelt down and saluted.

Qin Zhao waved his hand and looked at Gu Junran. She walked up to the man and handed her the clean clothes in her hand.

Gu Junran raised his eyebrows and looked at her: "Why are you here?"

Qin Zhao paused, and asked her in a muffled voice, "Why did you fall into the water? It's all right."

Gu Junran curled his lips and smiled, but didn't answer.

Qin Zhao saw that she didn't want to talk, so he stopped asking, and asked the imperial doctor instead: "How is the empress's health?"

The imperial doctor quickly said: "If you go back to the crown prince, the queen's body is not in serious condition, but she was frightened."

Qin Zhao responded.

After the imperial doctor has finished giving orders, he wants to leave.

After everyone in the room had retreated, Qin Zhao asked her, "Do you want to go back to the palace?"

Gu Junran glanced at her: "Yes."

Qin Zhao asked her again: "Then can you walk by yourself? Is there any injury?"

Gu Junran paused for a moment, then turned to look at her with a half-smile, and asked, "If I say I can't leave, will you still carry me?"
