Chapter 718 Don't Say Anymore
The imperial doctor checked her face and made sure that Empress Xu's emotional ups and downs were stable before leaving.

"Sui'er, with your status, an ordinary girl is not good enough for you."

Empress Xu rinsed her mouth, gently wiped the water stains around her mouth with a handkerchief, looked at her distraught son, and comforted him involuntarily.

"It doesn't have to be the right family, but her background is low, and it will be difficult for her to survive among the royal family and nobles in the future."

"It would be really difficult to survive if the main concubine was on top of her." Zhao Jian murmured.

"If you can't allow her to be a couple for a lifetime, it's better to let her live freely among the people. It's better than hurting her with open guns and dark arrows."

Although Zhao Jian did not explicitly mention the matter of competing for a husband, how could the woman who walked from the palace to the palace not understand.

She sighed, and her voice became a little desolate.

"Even if you can have this intention now, there is no guarantee that you can do it in the future."

Since you are a heavenly wife, you must have that awareness.

Zhao Jian bowed his head in silence, caressing the jade pendant in his hand.

Empress Xu's eyes fell on his fingers, and suddenly her eyes softened.
"This is the jade pendant you wore when you were a child, why are you holding it in your hand?"

"The full moon jade pendant given to my son-in-law by the queen mother, I gave it to my daughter-in-law. This piece is a peach blossom jade pendant given to her by my son-in-law."

Zhao Jian chuckled lightly, with an infinitely nostalgic expression.

At that time in Zhao's residence, he and Ding Shitou spent many happy times.

Seeing him like this, Empress Xu endured it, and finally said nothing, but waved to Zhao Jian, and when she was about to speak, she realized something, and she couldn't help but feel sad.

She forgot that Sui'er was gone now.

Enduring the soreness in her heart, she leaned on the back of the chair and got up.

"Sui'er, Fu Niang, go and lie down over there."

Empress Xu stretched out her hand to hold her son, saying she was helping her, but in fact she was leading him to a beauty couch by the window.

"Tell mother about that girl."

Empress Xu lay down, and immediately a servant girl stepped forward to put a pillow, covered it with a blanket, and put a brocade stool beside Zhao Jian.

"Empress, Erchen doesn't want to talk about her, but I can let Empress know that without her, Erchen would have died twice in two years ago."

"But I didn't want to repay my kindness. I really liked that girl, and that girl also liked I, so I saved her with all my heart. It was also under her care that I got used to the dark life in front of me."

After Zhao Jian finished speaking, he sighed and stopped talking.

No matter how gentle Empress Xu asked, she refused to say anything more.

When the mother and son were struggling, a report came from outside, and Li Kan and Gu Zhongyang begged to see him.

After hearing this, Zhao Jian quickly let them in.

Li Kan and Gu Zhongyang strode in, bowed to the queen first, and then looked at Zhao Jian.

"Master, I made you worry."

"It's good that you are all right, have everyone else returned home?" Zhao Jian asked quickly.

"The others have returned to the palace, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Highness the King of Han have gone to the palace to learn about the poisoning of the master."

Seeing that Zhao Jian was getting along well with the empress, Li Kan obviously knew about his master's blindness, so he said it without hesitation.

"The details of the poisoning can be said, but after we go south, we can't say a word about everyone and everything."

Zhao Jian ordered with a solemn expression.

"Yes." Li Kan understood what was going on as soon as he heard it, and quickly took orders, saluted Empress Xu again, and left in a hurry.

Gu Zhongyang wanted to talk to the master about his affairs, but at this time the master was in the middle palace, so he didn't dare to say anything.

"There is no need to report the matter of Peiping. You have worked hard these days. Go back to the palace and rest. By the way, I have asked for an order to reconcile with the princess. The order has not come down yet, so you know what to expect."
