Jiao Luan

Chapter 465
Emperor Changqing walked to the place where Empress Feng was placed, and walked in without the salutes and announcements from the maidservants.

Empress Feng was sitting in front of the carved dressing mirror, and Qing'e stood behind her to untangle her hair.

Time always favors certain people, and Empress Feng is exactly that kind of woman.

Even though she lived in seclusion in Guanju Palace, because of her mental disorder, she could not feel the precariousness. The years did not leave many traces on her fair face, and her hair was like a waterfall, shining and smooth.

"Your Majesty—" Qing'e hurriedly retreated to the side to salute upon hearing the movement.

Emperor Changqing waved his hand: "Go down."

Qing'e hesitated for a moment.

"Huh?" Emperor Changqing glanced at her lightly.

"Yes." Qing'e put down the horn comb and backed away silently.

In the blink of an eye, only the emperor and empress were left in the small room.

Emperor Changqing's face was clearly visible in the vanity mirror.

Empress Feng looked back and smiled: "Brother Prince, will you draw my eyebrows for me?"

Emperor Changqing was startled, and the memories of his youthful past flashed through his mind.

He had just passed his coming-of-age ceremony, and according to the palace rules, there would be four well-trained maidservants teaching him about men and women.

Young and impulsive, he tasted the joy of fish and water for the first time, he was quite obsessed with it for a long time, so naturally Feng Zhenzhen was a little cold.

For this reason, Feng Zhenzhen got angry with him and ignored him for more than half a month. He was quite at a loss, so he consulted the little eunuch and personally selected a good Dai Luo to make her thrush, and the two reconciled as before.

At that time, he thought, Feng Zhenzhen has a really big temper, he is the prince, the future emperor, it is impossible to just guard her, and he is quite critical of her ignorance.

Later, when he ascended to that position, gradually there were too many women who were more sensible, more gentle than Feng Zhenzhen, and more obedient than Feng Zhenzhen.

Emperor Changqing, who entered middle age, occasionally thought that their rift might be destined, who made them both so young at that time.

Now, hearing Feng Zhenzhen say this again, Emperor Changqing was left with a lot of emotion.

"Okay, I'll draw your eyebrows for you." Emperor Changqing leaned over to pick up the eyebrow pencil, and swipe the eyebrows for Empress Feng.

Empress Feng looked at herself in the mirror and laughed: "Brother Prince's technique is unfamiliar."

Emperor Changqing couldn't draw any more, threw the eyebrow pencil aside, raised his hand to press Empress Feng's shoulder, and said seriously: "It's true, I was wrong back then, and I shouldn't misunderstand you. I believe you will be sorry for me. Wake up, the harem has been short of a mistress for too long. Except for you, I never thought of letting anyone else sit in that seat."

Empress Feng stared at Emperor Changqing in a daze, her eyes were filled with confusion, she seemed to have reacted suddenly, she stretched out her hand and pushed him away: "Go away, I don't want to see you again!"

Emperor Changqing grabbed Empress Feng's hand: "Really, don't say such childish things. We grew up together and will sleep together in the imperial tomb in the future. How can you not see me? You have to blame me, How about you wait until you get better and settle the score with me?"

Madness flashed in Empress Feng's eyes: "Settling accounts? Yes, I should ask you to settle accounts. You return my child, how can you allow Mr. Hua to take my child away, he is our child!"

"Child?" Emperor Changqing was stunned and sighed, "Really, no one snatched our little princess, she just went to the sky—"

Empress Feng suddenly shook off Emperor Changqing's hand, and hissed, "It's not the little princess, it's the little prince, the little prince I gave birth to through all kinds of hard work, but you don't want us anymore!"

"What did you say? What little prince?" Emperor Changqing was stunned again.

He didn't know if crazy people would go into hysteria and take things that didn't happen as if they had happened, but the queen's appearance was really shocking.

Empress Feng suddenly lowered her body and tightly hugged Emperor Changqing's thigh: "Please, don't kill my child, he is only so young..."

Qing'e heard the movement and rushed in, and while going to help Empress Feng, she said to Emperor Changqing: "Your Majesty, the Empress is ill again, and I can't bear to be stimulated at this time."

Emperor Changqing calmed down, and said, "Qing'e, please appease the queen and come back to talk."

About a cup of tea, Qing'e walked over gently, knelt down: "Your Majesty."

Emperor Changqing raised his hand to fetch the teacup, found it was empty, put it down silently, calmed down and asked the doubt: "Qing'e, the queen kept saying that someone robbed her child, what's going on?"

Qing'e pressed her forehead to the ground, trembling.

"Huh?" Emperor Changqing, who hadn't thought about it deeply, turned serious, seeing that Qing'e remained terrified and silent, he said sharply, "Say!"

Qing'e trembled, and slowly raised her head: "Your Majesty, your empress is not talking nonsense, she became what she is now because of the loss of the little prince, she was overly sad!"

"What did you say!" Emperor Changqing suddenly stood up.

Qing'e looked desperate: "When the empress was imprisoned in Guanju Palace, she found out that she was pregnant not long after, and later gave birth to the little prince. It's a pity that the good times didn't last long. The little prince was only a few days old, and he was concubine Hua Guifei. That's when Hua Jieyu knew about it and sent her confidant Deng An to take the little prince away!"

"Is this true?" Emperor Changqing was shocked.

Qing'e raised her palms and swore: "Every word my servant said is true, if there are lies, I would rather be struck by lightning and die without a place to die!"

Emperor Changqing took a deep breath, suppressed the turbulent emotions, and asked, "If that's the case, why didn't you report to me back then?"

Qing'e lowered her eyes and smiled wryly: "Back then, the emperor was annoyed by the empress, and the empress could not even find a reliable person who could deliver the news in the Guanju Palace. It went to other people's ears."

Speaking of this, Qing'e hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Your Majesty is still worried that the emperor will not trust you——"

"Fool!" Emperor Changqing gritted his teeth.

If he knew that the queen was pregnant at that time, he—

Emperor Changqing was suddenly not sure what he would have done more than 20 years ago, but one thing is certain, no matter how angry he was, he would not let the pregnant queen stay in the cold palace.

"Okay, Qing'e, I understand, you take good care of the queen, and if the queen has anything to report to me immediately, there must be no more concealment!"

"Yes."

Emperor Changqing strode away from the Palace of Compassion and Ning, and Qing'e immediately went to report to the Queen Mother.

The queen mother nodded and said: "The Ai family knows, the emperor must have sent Deng An to inquire about the past."

Qing'e couldn't help asking: "Queen Mother, why didn't you tell the emperor directly——"

The queen mother smiled and said: "Compared with what others tell, people often believe what they have found out. Qing'e, you have to remember that the Ai family didn't know about these past events. All the things were caused by the emperor's suspicion, and he found out by himself. of."

"The servant understands."

In the dark room, Emperor Changqing stared at Deng An who was kneeling and pleading guilty, wishing to poke holes in him with his eyes.

"Dog slave, did you really put the little prince in a tub and throw it into the river?"
