Chapter 124 Entering the Palace
After breakfast, Rong Heqing and Qin Yunxian dressed up and entered the palace together in a carriage, with Chu Suifeng riding beside them on horseback.
Tang Yiming was driving today. He looked at Chu Suifeng from time to time. Finally, Chu Suifeng couldn't stand it anymore. He turned his head to look at him and asked indifferently: "Is there a road on my face?"
Tang Yiming shook his head: "No."
"So what do you always watch me do?"
Even when he arrived at the palace, Xiao Chu was still the same Xiao Chu, and his temper had not improved at all.
Tang Yiming smiled good-naturedly and said, "Nothing, I just feel that the princess seems to trust you very much."
"She hired me personally, so she naturally trusts me. I will follow her wherever she goes."
Chu Suifeng has a very clear understanding of the positioning of his guards.
Tang Yiming laughed, "I see."
Rong Heqing couldn't help laughing as they listened to their conversation in the carriage. Chu Suifeng was indeed a social genius.
Qin Yunxian glanced at her and said, "When we return from the palace, I will ask the housekeeper to bring someone to identify you."
Rong Heqing raised an eyebrow: "Is there anything that needs special care?"
"No." Qin Yunxian said, "There are only two masters in the palace, one is you and the other is me. If others make mistakes, you can deal with them as you like."
This sounded pleasing to the ear, and Rong Heqing felt relieved. "Okay, let's talk about it when we get back."
*
They went directly to the Queen's Kunhua Palace.
The emperor and empress sat in the main seats in the main hall, and below them sat the main concubines of each palace and princes and princesses.
As soon as Rong Heqing and Qin Yunxian entered, they were immediately surrounded by all kinds of gazes.
She took over Guan Zhen's work without looking away, and she pushed Qin Yunxian's wheelchair slowly in.
The two stopped in the middle of the hall. Rong Heqing walked to Qin Yunxian's side, knelt down and saluted, and said together with Qin Yunxian: "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to your father and mother. Long live your father - long live your mother - a thousand years and a thousand years -"
Both of them were dressed in red, looking energetic and festive.
The man is talented and the woman is beautiful, they are really a perfect match.
The emperor nodded with satisfaction, and gave the nanny beside him a look. The nanny immediately came forward with a tray and said with a smile: "Princess, you should change your words."
Rong Heqing smiled shyly, took the teacup and said to the emperor: "Father, please have some tea."
The emperor took the teacup and took a sip, then laughed and said, "Good boy, Old Nine is not in good health, you have to work harder and be more tolerant and take care of him."
Rong Heqing nodded and said, "Yes."
Then she turned to the Queen and handed her another cup of tea, "Mother, please have some tea."
The queen took it with a numb expression, said nothing, took a sip and put down the teacup.
The atmosphere was a little awkward, but Rong Heqing didn't react much. She glanced at the queen calmly.
The smile on the emperor's lips faded a little, "Okay, get up."
"Thank you, father." Rong Heqing stood up, holding up her skirt, and greeted the people around her and received a bunch of gifts.
The emperor left halfway and took Qin Yunxian away with him.
Originally, Rong Heqing should have stayed to listen to the Queen's teachings, but the Queen left on the grounds of feeling unwell.
Ronghe Qing was happy to have some peace and quiet, so she left the palace first.
The person who entered the palace with her today was Zhe Liu. After leaving Kunhua Palace, Zhe Liu looked around and whispered in Rong Heqing's ear: "The Queen's appearance today, does it mean that her house arrest will be lifted?"
Rong Heqing shook his head: "If it were that simple, the Queen wouldn't have such a grim expression."
Thinking of the Queen's appearance, she sighed and said, "When I first met the Queen in the palace, she was dressed so delicately and elegantly. Although she was a bit worried, at least she looked lively. But when I saw her again today, she was as numb and stiff as a puppet, and her face was so haggard that she looked like she had aged ten years."
Zhe Liu shook his head and whispered, "The family has suddenly encountered a great change, and the Crown Prince has been confined to the Eastern Palace. Seeing other princes gaining power, the Queen must be feeling bad."
Rong Heqing looked at the tall palace walls around him and murmured, "There are unexpected changes in the world, and people are subject to misfortunes at any time. There is nothing we can do about it. No one can guarantee that they will have a smooth life, not to mention that Duke Rong has brought this upon himself."
Zheliu nodded, "Yes."
She was puzzled, "Then why did the emperor let her out?"
"It was already very awkward when the Queen didn't show up at my wedding to the prince yesterday. If she doesn't show up today, people will probably think that the Queen is going to be deposed. Your Majesty is probably doing this for others to see, to tell them that the Queen is still the Queen and not to have any thoughts that they shouldn't have."
Rong Heqing lowered his voice and said, "The emperor's mind is hard to predict. The princes who are in power now may not be in power in the future. They are too popular. His Majesty probably wants to warn them, so he specially let the queen come out to show her face and remind them that as long as the queen is not overthrown, the prince is still alive."
Zheliu suddenly realized and murmured, "Your Majesty's heart is truly unpredictable."
When they arrived at the palace gate, Rong Heqing got on the carriage, and Chu Suifeng stepped forward and asked, "Are you going back home?"
Rong Heqing shook his head, "Let's wait for the prince to come out together."
Chu Suifeng stopped talking.
After waiting for about half an hour, Rong and Qing were about to fall asleep, and Qin Yunxian finally came out of the palace.
After getting on the carriage, Rong Heqing asked Qin Yunxian: "What did His Majesty want to talk to you about?"
Qin Yunxian drank a sip of tea to moisten his throat, and then sent someone home. He said, "Nothing. They just asked about the bridal chamber and how I was feeling. They said I was newlywed and asked me to rest at home for a few more days."
"You've been talking like this for half an hour?" Rong Heqing held his chin in his hand and said disdainfully, "You're too nagging, aren't you?"
Qin Yunxian laughed, "It would be terrible if someone heard this."
Then his expression became slightly serious, "In fact, we are talking about the prince."
"Prince?" Rong Heqing was surprised: "What did you say?"
"The prince was ill a while ago, and my father asked me to go see him."
Rong Heqing frowned, "He wants you to take his place and express your opinion?"
"Hmm." Qin Yunxian looked far away and whispered, "The prince has lost a lot of weight. The clothes that used to fit him are now empty. He is just a skeleton. He is listless. Even if he comes out in the future, I am afraid he will not be able to take on important tasks."
He and the prince were both rivals and brothers. When the moment came and he saw the prince's fate, he couldn't help but feel sympathy for him.
Seeing this, Rong Heqing patted the armrest of his wheelchair and said, "Don't think too much. Everyone has their own destiny. It's good enough if we can take care of ourselves."
"Is this a consolation?" Qin Yunxian's eyes fell on her hands.
"Forget it. We are still married after an agreement. It is my duty to comfort you. You are welcome."
Ronghe Dan rested his chin on his hand and looked at him with a smile on his face.
Qin Yunxian was amused, and the haze in his heart dissipated a little, "Okay."
*
Things turned out just as Rong Heqing had expected. As soon as they left, news came from the palace that the Emperor had ordered the release of the Queen and sent Prince Duan to visit the Crown Prince. Most likely, he recalled their old friendship and the Queen and Crown Prince had not yet completely lost their power.
After returning home, Prince Rong and Prince Zhou immediately summoned their staff to discuss countermeasures.
However, all these troubles had nothing to do with Rong Heqing. After returning home, she finally met the miracle doctor she had always been thinking about.
