040 Uneasy at heart

Sure enough, as soon as Gu Changqing entered Feng'an Palace, he saw Queen Chen leaning on the soft collapse with a haggard face. When he saw him coming in, he just nodded.

Juxiang retreated with all the attendants in the hall, and only Queen Chen and Gu Changqing were left in the huge palace.

Queen Chen didn't hide it, "I have always been puzzled about how Yu'er knew her identity."

Gu Changqing's head buzzed, and he didn't know how to answer in an instant.

He can't say that he and Chu Yu are both reborn people, right?

If you really answer this way, you will definitely be regarded as a monster.

But if you don’t answer, how can you explain Chu Yu’s actions when he was in the warm pavilion of Qingliang Palace?

Queen Chen looked at Gu Changqing steadily, and saw that he was silent, she stopped asking, "Maybe it was the old lady of the Chu family who said it. Forget it, fortunately she knew it in advance, otherwise, the consequences of that day would be unimaginable."

Seeing that Empress Chen no longer pursued the previous incident, Gu Changqing silently breathed, "The Empress summoned Weichen to the palace today, but I don't know what happened?"

Queen Chen sighed, "You have always had a good relationship with the prince. Although you are a monarch and minister, you are also a playmate since childhood. He already knows the truth of the matter and cannot accept it. I hope you can persuade me."

Gu Changqing lowered his head and after a while, he asked, "Empress, I want to ask, if you have a prince in your heart, what should His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"

Queen Chen's eyes widened in an instant, and didn't know how to answer for a moment.

Gu Changqing knelt down and said earnestly: "Empress, Shuchen is prone to say that since Yu'er learned her true identity, what she is most worried about is His Highness the future situation and the Chu family. She once said that no matter what, she must protect His Highness the Crown Prince and the Chu family."

Queen Chen suddenly sat up and stared at Gu Changqing with unsteady breath, as if she was lucky. After a while, she asked in a trembling voice: "Yu'er really said this?"

Gu Changqing nodded, "Yu'er never cared about how she should deal with herself after the matter was exposed. She only cared about the Chu family and only His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. So, I hope the Empress can think twice. His Royal Highness is indeed not a royal bloodline, and it is also a temporary solution to be able to firmly sit in the position of the Crown Prince now. If the Empress successfully gave birth to a prince, then the position of the Crown Prince will definitely be replaced. But after the replacement... what should His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"

Queen Chen took a deep breath, and she felt that her neck seemed to be pinched, and it was a bit difficult to breathe.

Chu Yu saw through every plan of her, but what could she do?

If she successfully gave birth to a prince, Lu Fengzi would have no way to die, and the Chu family would be buried with her.

But all this has been seen through by Chu Yu, but she wants to protect the Chu family.

what to do?

Queen Chen felt a split headache and rubbed her temples with her hands showing a look of pain.

That is her daughter who has been lost for more than ten years. If she becomes a estranged relationship, what should she do?

Moreover, according to Gu Changqing's attitude, it is obvious that he wants to protect Chu Yu.

Queen Chen took a deep breath and waved her hand at Gu Changqing, "You go down first."

She needs time now to think about how to deal with this.

Seeing this, Gu Changqing stopped talking about anything else and respectfully retreated.

As soon as he left, Juxiang walked in. Seeing Queen Chen's appearance, she was immediately frightened and trotted forward a few steps, "Empress, why are you feeling uncomfortable? I will go and teach the imperial physician?"

Queen Chen waved her hand. She really felt a little uncomfortable now, but it was in vain that the imperial doctor came.

"Your Majesty is okay now?"

Kikuka nodded, "Your Majesty is awake. Although you can't get out of bed, you are still sane, but you are weak."

"Set up and go to Qingliang Hall."

Since His Majesty has woken up, she must find him to discuss how to deal with the next thing.

As soon as he left the palace, he saw Chen Yuqi leaning against the carriage waiting for him. When he saw him coming out, he came over, "Is my aunt okay?"

Obviously, Chen Yuqi heard some news.

Gu Changqing nodded and signaled Chen Yuqi to get on the carriage.

"Why are you here?" In the carriage, Gu Changqing looked at Chen Yuqi, and saw that his face was very tired, obviously he looked like he was not resting well. "Have you heard about Qingliang Palace?"

Chen Yuqi nodded, "I heard that fortunately you and Miss Chu were present at that time, otherwise His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would have encountered big trouble."

As he said that, he raised his hand and bowed to Gu Changqing solemnly, "I will thank Miss Chu again after you get married to Miss Chu."

Gu Changqing waved his hand unconsciously, "The Empress Dowager is now targeting His Royal Highness. Fortunately, the matter of Qingliang Palace has passed. Now the emperor has also woken up, and the rest can only be taken one step."

Gu Changqing and Chen Yuqi are both the confidants of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, so they naturally know that the emperor has always had the intention to deal with Empress Dowager Liu, but the other party has been too many spies in the court and local governments in the past few decades, and their forces are spread all over the country. If they are not sure, they will naturally not dare to act rashly.

"My father has found out some forces that the Queen Mother has planted in the army. He has just been uprooted after the time is right."

"The emperor is also preparing, just waiting for the opportunity. But..." Gu Changqing felt uneasy when he thought of Empress Dowager Liu's recent abnormality. "The Empress Dowager will not sit still and wait for death. I always feel that she is waiting for something. Now that the matter in Dongwu has been disturbed by us, she will not give up easily."

When Chen Yuqi thought of the eldest prince of Dongwu who was still in prison, he couldn't help but laugh at him.

"The envoys of the Eastern Wu will definitely take this opportunity to cause trouble. At that time, we will pay more attention to the matters..."

Chen Yuqi couldn't remember anything else to pay attention to, and just sighed.

The two of them suddenly became a little silent, and the carriage was a bit terrible.

"The Empress Dowager may force the palace." Chen Yuqi's low voice came slowly, "I'm very worried about my aunt."

Gu Changqing leaned against the wall of the car, recalling Queen Chen's reaction today, a different kind of emotion surged in his heart.

"Changqing, you will always be on your aunt's side, right?" Chen Yuqi looked at Gu Changqing, but saw that he did not answer as readily as before. She suddenly felt panic in her heart and stared at the other party in a daze, "Changqing..."

Gu Changqing paused and said, "The queen is orthodox, so the Gu family naturally needs to support it."

Chen Yuqi looked at him and always felt that this sounded awkward, and for a moment he didn't know what the problem was.

Soon, the carriage stopped at the door of the Chen family's mansion, "Brother Chen, don't worry too much."

Seeing this, Chen Yuqi couldn't say anything more. After thanking her, she jumped out of the carriage.

Watching the carriage leave, Chen Yuqi was still a little uneasy, and she always felt that something bad was about to happen, and she was very uneasy.
