Chapter 74
The original love is a little shallower, and the emperor ignored her obstruction, because of the pressure put on him by the previous court, he kept saying that it was for Yuning's good, and married Yuning to the current Prime Minister Xie by unspeakable means. , claiming to the outside world that the two are in love with each other, he is just an adult beauty.

She once thought that Yuning would be happy, but within a year, Yuning died miserably, leaving only Xie Chen.

The emperor is also sad, Yuning is his own sister, and he is also for the good of Yuning, and in that case, he did not marry her at will, but dragged on for a while to find the most suitable person to make an order.

But the queen has a good relationship with Yuning. If there is no Yuning, she might be married to a dude from some family by her father. Yuning treats her well, but she has no ability to save her.

Since then, the queen has never given the emperor any hope, and she is not even willing to talk to him.

It's not that the emperor never thought of begging her for forgiveness, nor did he never try to coax the queen, but she always kicked him out mercilessly.

Even a few days ago, after hearing Xie Chen's words and going to the Queen's Palace, she was irritated by her indifference before she threw up her sleeves and left.

Pulling from memory to reality, thinking of this, the queen's face no longer had a bland expression after all, and a trace of pain appeared on her face.

Footsteps came from outside the Yeting Hall, and the empress took a step back to distance herself from the emperor.

It was Xie Chen and Gu Hengyu who came. Xie Chen's face was full of worry, and Gu Hengyu looked at Xie Chen with worry.

Seeing the empress standing there safely, Xie Chen's heart fell to the ground, but thinking of Concubine Xiao's words, he still asked worriedly: "Auntie, are you alright?"

The empress didn't think much about thanking her, she just wanted to leave here quickly and get out of the emperor's sight.

"Nothing, let's leave." The queen said to Xie Chen.

After hearing this, Xie Chen stepped forward to support the queen, but did not notice the strange atmosphere in the palace, and returned to the queen's palace with the queen.

And Gu Hengyu, the emperor behind him, just watched them leave, each with their own concerns.

The emperor naturally wanted the queen to change her mind and give him an answer, while Gu Hengyu was in a state of concern and gratitude.

He didn't know if Xie Chen took his words to heart, because when Xie Chen recovered from the self-blame, he rushed over, and Gu Hengyu could only follow her on the way, and don't let her bump into each other.

In the queen's palace.

Xie Chen followed the queen along the way, seeing that although the queen didn't seem to be scared but she was out of her mind, she didn't say anything to the queen because she didn't know what to say.

It was only when the queen sat down that she noticed that the state of Xie Chen beside her was not right.

"Chen'er, I just forgot to ask you why you asked me to go to the Ye Ting Palace today." The queen was as gentle as ever.

But Xie Chen was not as calm as usual, looking at the queen, he didn't know what to say.

The queen was a little strange, thinking that something happened to Xie Chen, and the expression on his face couldn't help but worry: "Did something happen?"

Looking at the empress' concern for him, Xie Chen blamed himself even more when he remembered that it was his own fault that caused the empress to fall into that predicament.

"I..." Xie Chen was a little choked up, as if he had returned to the helplessness he felt when he went to the Ye Ting Palace to find the queen.

Seeing this, the queen completely put aside the matter with the emperor, and eagerly comforted Xie Chen.

"Chen'er, don't cry, tell me what's the matter." The queen helped Xie Chen to sit down.

Xie Chen's crying could not help but amplify.

The queen wiped the tears from Xie Chen's face, and asked: "Could it be that Xiao Tingyan has wronged you again?"

Xie Chen is not like the empress who is not favored by the emperor, and his temper is not in a manner that would be offended. No one in the palace except Concubine Xiao Gui would dare to trouble her.

The queen thought of this, and directly called out Concubine Xiao's name. If it was Xiao Tingyan who made trouble for her, it would be fine, but if it was because of Xie Chen's grievance, then she would not bear it like usual.

After hearing this, Xie Chen shook his head, held back his crying and waved his hands, "No...not Xiao Gui... Concubine Gui."

After hearing that Xie Chen was not crying because of Concubine Xiao, the queen couldn't guess the reason for a while.

"Then... is that Gu Hengyu?" The Queen was uncertain when she asked this sentence, because she knew that Gu Hengyu was not willing to bully Xie Chen.

Xie Chen was taken aback when he heard the words, wondering how the queen would think of Gu Hengyu.

But it was Xie Chen's stupefaction that made the queen confirm her guess, and she couldn't help but angrily said: "I'll call Gu Hengyu over now, and ask him to confess his mistake to you."

As she said that, she loved Xie Chen more in her heart. She was more careful than the emperor and the others, and found that Xie Chen had some girlish thoughts about Gu Hengyu. If Gu Hengyu really bullied Xie Chen, Xie Chen would be so sad.

Just as he was about to ask the palace servants to find Gu Hengyu, Xie Chen hurriedly grabbed the queen.

The queen looked at Xie Chen with doubts on her face, thinking that it was Xie Chen who was still favoring Gu Hengyu, and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely seek justice for you and prevent you from being wronged like this."

Xie Chen looked at the empress's worry about him, and his heart felt sore, he didn't want to hide what the empress had done.

"I'm sorry... Chen'er was wrong, it's all Chen'er's fault." Xie Chen was still crying when he said this.

The queen wanted to ask Xie Chen what was wrong, but after hearing this sentence, she understood everything when she thought about what happened today.

Looking at Xie Chen's current appearance and thinking of the timely appearance of the emperor, she naturally knew that Xie Chen did not intend to harm her on purpose. She probably discovered her relationship with the emperor from the time they spent together, and wanted to make them reconcile.

She couldn't laugh or cry, she couldn't blame her for this matter, no one knew about her fear of the dark and the confined space, and only the emperor knew about it after spending a long time with her.

Concubine Xiao Gui also knew of her weakness because she was accidentally locked in the palace with her once, but she never attacked her.

"It's okay, Chen'er, I know you're doing it for my own good." The queen really didn't blame Xie Chen, seeing how Xie Chen looked when she saw her, she knew that Xie Chen only knew about it.

Probably Concubine Xiao Gui told Xie Chen.

Xie Chen was not relieved when he heard this, but felt even more guilty.

The queen comforted Xie Chen and wanted to let Xie Chen relax, saying: "Because of this, I know that Chen'er treats me so well, and she still tries to help me win favor."

This is also true, Xie Chen's starting point is for his own good, the queen is still a little happy after this incident, and Xie Chen is thinking of herself.

"Auntie, stop teasing Chen'er. If Chen'er knew that her aunt would feel scared in a claustrophobic place, Chen'er would definitely not use this method." Hearing what the queen said, Xie Chen knew that she really didn't blame him, but he still blamed himself said.

"Oh? After that, Chen'er still think of other ways to let me and the emperor develop a relationship?" Seeing that Xie Chen was in a better mood, the queen asked.

Xie Chen knew that his thoughts were exposed, and nodded in a daze, with sincerity.

Seeing Xie Chen blankly looking out for her, the queen couldn't help but smiled, patted Xie Chen's head, and said softly, "Chen'er, I don't blame you." She didn't want Xie Chen to feel guilty.

When Xie Chen heard this, he remembered what Gu Hengyu said to her today. He said that no one blamed him, as if... seemed to hug him.
