Rebirth of the Phoenix Princess novel Chapter 845

Qian Zhuo was taken aback. The Emperor was asking who told the Empress Hua about the Imperial Astronomer, but Empress Hua answered another thing. She said that Lady Shu had come to the Weiyang Palace.

What Empress Hua said was a fact, but she spoke it out when Xia Huanyu asked that question, which was a little subtle. In this way, it seemed that she was telling Xia Huanyu that it was Lady Shu who mentioned the matter of the Imperial Astronomer in front of Empress Hua.

As expected, Xia Huanyu's face darkened. After a long time, he concealed the displeasure in his eyes and said indifferently, "It seems that the guards at the gate of Weiyang Palace haven't done their job well. Liu Wenan, pull them down and flog everyone thirty times."

However, the Empress only took the bowl, blew the soup in it, and then drank a spoonful of it. Then she turned to Lord Hua Guo and said in a softer voice, "I heard from Shang'er that mother is not in good health and always feels pain all over her body in cold and gloomy days. I have a prescription that I asked for in the State of Ning before, and it will be effective in a period of time. I have copied it. Father, please take it back to mother."

Lord Hua Guo responded in a hurry, with tears in his eyes.

However, Xia Huanyu frowned and said, "You also had this disease before? Are you feeling better now?"

"I've taken medicines for many years and it's not that serious now. I had the disease more than 20 years ago. I don't know what caused it." Empress Hua smiled as if she didn't care about it at all.

After the three of them finished their meal, Empress Hua asked Qian Zhuo to take out the prescription and handed it to Lord Hua Guo. Then Xia Huanyu left Weiyang Palace with Lord Hua Guo and returned to the Meeting Hall.

Before leaving, he turned around and said, "I've asked someone to prepare the dress for you for the Grand Ceremony. Later, the Shangyi Bureau will send it here. Have a try and see if it needs to be modified. If there is anything you don't like, just tell them."

the Empress answered softly. After Xia Huanyu left, she turned around and went back to her bedroom.

Perhaps it was because Lady Shu had disturbed Empress Hua in the morning, Empress Hua, who always took a nap in the afternoon, seemed to be completely sleepless today. She leaned against the couch, as if in a daze.

After a while, Qian Zhuo heard Empress Hua speak, as if asking her.

"I heard that the Crown Prince had a premature labor. I didn't ask her what caused that on the day I came back.

Hearing this, Qian Zhuo answered in a hurry, "It has something to do with the Su clan. After the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess returned, they noticed something usual in Jin City. After a careful investigation, they found that the Su clan seemed to have gathered all the gold and silver jewelry in the city, as well as the silver money in the bank. They had also kidnapped many people from the city, hidden them in the Palace and forced them to make weapons. Crown Prince came to the Palace to visit Lady Hui who was depressed after losing her baby and took it as an excuse to stay overnight in the Palace in order to find out the truth. After the investigation, the Crown Princess went back to the Xiangzhu Palace to have a rest and then disappeared."

Yun Shang disappeared under Qian Zhuo's watch. Qian Zhuo's heart was still fluttering with fear when she mentioned this. After a long time, she continued, "It was not until the noon of the second day that the Crown Princess was being found in the ice cellar. The Crown Princess was terribly cold and the baby in her belly had been affected. That was why she had premature labor."

Empress Hua didn't expect that there was such a dangerous story. After a long time, she said, "Luckily, both the mother and the son are safe."

Qian Zhuo nodded repeatedly, "yes."

After a pause, she continued, "It's all my fault. If anything happens to the Crown Princess or the little prince, I'll be the one to blame."

Empress Hua didn't respond. After a while, she smiled coldly and said, "It seems no woman in the imperial household is simple."

After a pause, she asked, "Who has the Empress's seal in hand now?"

"Lady Shu." Qian Zhuo answered, though she didn't know why Empress Hua asked.

"Oh?" Empress Hua raised her eyebrows. Thinking of Lady Shu, she smiled and said, "She looks elegant and quiet, but it turns out she is a restless woman."

Qian Yin was choked. She didn't expect that someone would directly comment on Lady Shu like this. But she thought the comment was quite precise.

After a while, Qian Zhuo heard Empress Hua say, "I've been back to the Palace for a few days and the imperial edict in conferring me the title of the empress had been announced in Taiji Palace. Only the Grand Ceremony hasn't been held yet. I have officially become the Empress, haven't I?"

"Yes." Qian Zhuo answered in a low voice. Although she had served Empress Hua for a few days, she didn't seem to know her character well. She couldn't figure out why Empress Hua suddenly asked about this and what she planned to do.

Just as Qian Shang was guessing randomly, the voice of Empress Hua slowly rang out with a bit of indifference, "Since I'm the Empress, how could the seal be in a concubine's hand? Although I have had a long trip, I have almost recovered. It's time for me to meet the ladies in the imperial household."

Hearing this, Qian Zhuo raised her eyes abruptly with a bit of shock on her face, as if she was surprised that Empress Hua would make such a request. But she quickly replied, "Yes, Your Majesty. I'll send inform every palace that the routine greeting will be restored from tomorrow."
