Chapter 334
Emperor Taihe suppressed his suspicions and comforted Duke Cheng'en, asking him to find the imperial physician to check whether there was any poisonous insect in Chen Shou's body.
After Duke Cheng'en left, he immediately ordered people to interrogate Xu Maochun about the poisonous insect.
Then he read the memorials while waiting to see if Empress Chen would come back.
As a result, they waited until dark, but Empress Chen still didn't come. She probably didn't know the news outside.
Emperor Taihe smiled with satisfaction and specially ordered people to go to Fengyi Palace.
In Fengyi Palace, Empress Chen was playing the zither silently, while smoke curled up from the incense burner beside her, emitting a refreshing and pleasant fragrance.
The female official walked in quickly and whispered, "Your Majesty, His Majesty has arrived."
Empress Chen raised her lips in satisfaction: She knew that Emperor Taihe would come. After so many years in the palace, she had already figured out the thoughts of Emperor Taihe and Jiang Lin.
As soon as Emperor Taihe's dragon sedan arrived at the gate of Fengyi Palace, he heard the melodious sound of a piano coming from inside.
He felt complicated.
Chen Huan did nothing wrong, yet he gave all his favor to Concubine Jiang. Chen Huan had the title of Queen, but no children and no favor. Not only did she give up the power to manage the harem, but she also had to behave virtuously and generously at all times.
Isn't this cruel to her?
Emperor Taihe was grateful to Chen Huan for saving him, and felt guilty when he thought that she had completely lost her ability to conceive because she blocked the knife for him.
Therefore, he specially conferred the title of First-Class Cheng'en Duke on Chen Huan's father, and granted Chen Shou the title of Crown Prince, and tried his best to maintain Chen Huan's face over the years.
But this time, what Chen Fang and Xu Maochun did was really too much.
Especially Xu Maochun!
He has been in the Black Kylin Guard for many years. How many evil things has he done?
These must be thoroughly investigated!
Emperor Taihe sighed, not wanting to interrupt the music of the piano inside, so he deliberately stopped the eunuch from passing on the message, got off the dragon chariot and walked straight in.
The palace maids in Fengyi Palace wanted to speak, but were interrupted by Emperor Taihe, so they could only kneel down and salute silently.
As Emperor Taihe walked into the main hall, he saw Empress Chen playing the piano with her back to him.
He subconsciously lightened his footsteps and walked in quietly.
Queen Chen curled her lips and continued playing the piano as if she hadn't noticed anything.
It was not until the song was finished and she stopped to rest that she suddenly heard applause behind her. She seemed to be frightened and hurriedly stood up to see.
As a result, she turned around in such a hurry that she knocked over the stool behind her, causing her to fall.
"what--"
Empress Chen screamed in fear, and her frail body tilted instantly.
Fortunately, Emperor Taihe took action in time. He first grabbed her outstretched arm, then put his arm around her waist and pulled her into his arms.
Empress Chen leaned in Emperor Taihe's arms, and was able to stand firmly because he held her waist tightly.
She raised her head in surprise and looked at Emperor Taihe in a panic: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty... Why are you here?"
While asking awkwardly, she struggled to get out of Emperor Taihe's arms.
Emperor Taihe sensed her struggle and immediately felt a little dissatisfied. He subconsciously hugged her tighter, staring at her intently: "What is Zitong doing? Are you unwilling to be close to me?"
Empress Chen blushed and said quickly, "I dare not! I just... I'm not used to it..."
After saying that, he lowered his head.
Emperor Taihe couldn't help feeling a little guilty when he thought that he only came to Fengyi Palace on the first and fifteenth day of every month, and spent most of the rest of the time with Concubine Jiang.
He couldn't help but look at Queen Chen. She was bright and beautiful, and was actually a rare beauty.
It’s a pity that he prefers the charming appearance of Concubine Jiang, and Concubine Jiang always makes him intoxicated.
Unlike Empress Chen, although she was beautiful, she was too dignified and polite, which always made people lose interest.
Emperor Taihe sighed inwardly, but let go of Empress Chen and helped her sit down personally.
"Has Zi Tong heard the news outside?"
