Chapter 69 After the Marriage was Kidnapped 5
Fu Sheng then recounted what had happened in the Empress Dowager's palace today, even memorizing Shunpin and Shufei's original words word for word.

Chu Chengqian snorted, thinking that he had had enough of the good life and was no longer comfortable!

"Somebody come!"

A man in black jumped down from the beam and saluted respectfully after landing: "I am here."

"I want evidence that the Dali Temple Minister and the Minister of Works committed a crime."

The status of concubines in the harem is closely related to the previous dynasty. Since Concubine Shu and Concubine Shun can't live a good life, they might as well live a hard life.

He is the emperor, the emperor is rich and powerful. In the past, he sacrificed himself for the sake of his offspring, but now he doesn't want to suffer any more. So no one should complain to him, otherwise he might as well not be the emperor!

The man in black immediately bowed and left.

Chu Chengqian extended his hand to Ning Yan, "Let's go, I will accompany you to see the Queen Mother."

Ning Yan held the man's hand and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for protecting me."

Chu Chengqian couldn't help but smile. After being on the throne for ten years, the 29-year-old man did not look old. On the contrary, he had a calm and noble demeanor. He was already good-looking, and when he smiled, he became even more attractive!
Ning Yan couldn't help but kiss him on the face again. The two of them had been spending every day together these days, and they couldn't get enough of each other. Instead, they became more and more clingy.

Especially Chu Chengqian simply couldn't let go of Ning Yan and treated her like a treasure.

Therefore, Ning Yan became more and more courageous, and would deliberately tease the emperor from time to time, doing small things like kissing and hugging every day.

"Just a kiss? Never mind. I will ask for the favor myself tonight."

Ning Yan: ...It seems I won’t be able to sleep well tonight.

In the Cining Palace, the Queen Mother's face became even more displeased when she saw the Emperor and Ning Yan walk in together.

The two of them bowed to the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother just wanted to leave Ning Yan there and let her squat.

However, the emperor refused to allow it. He stretched out his hand and pulled Ning Yan up. "Mother, do you want to tell Yan Yan something?"

The Queen Mother took a deep breath and said, "I heard that you have been favoring Concubine Ning recently, so I want to see her. Why can't I?"

The emperor smiled and said, "How could that be? Of course I can!"

Yanyan is well-behaved and sensible, it would be nice if you could ask her to come over and talk when you have nothing to do. "That's not right.

Just now, his mother looked at Yanyan with murderous eyes, so he was worried about letting Yanyan accompany her.

Ning Yan just sat aside with her eyes lowered and said nothing, letting the mother and son fight each other.

The Queen Mother took a deep breath, and then another deep breath, and finally sent Ning Yan away.

After she left, the Queen Mother slapped the table and said, "Your Majesty, before, the imperial concubine said that you favored Concubine Ning too much, but I didn't believe it. Now it seems that you have really been bewitched by her!
Do you still remember your responsibilities?

You have been on the throne for ten years, but you haven't given birth to a royal heir. Now you only favor Ning Cairen. Tell me, who will inherit the Liang Dynasty?
Do you really want to adopt a child from the clan?"

This throne was obtained by them and their son with untold hardships. How could she be willing to just give it away like that?
"Mother, I know what you are thinking! But, if you can't give birth, you can't give birth!
During these ten years, I have favored many concubines, but no child has been born in the harem. Not to mention giving birth, even no one is pregnant. I have given up.

Before Yanyan entered the palace, I will not hide the truth from my mother that I did not like any of the women in the harem. If I was not afraid that my mother would be unhappy, I would not favor any of them.

Now I have come to terms with it. Since I am rich in the world, there is no such thing as me being wronged. I like such a woman, but I have to be timid and hide it. I might as well abdicate to my brothers earlier!" The Queen Mother glanced at her son and thought that he was so confused by sleeping with women. You don't even have a descendant, so how can you say you like her?

"I don't care who you favor, but you have to give me a grandson first!"

When the emperor saw that he and the empress dowager could no longer communicate, he simply stopped talking.

As for offspring, it’s not like he hadn’t tried before, but he just couldn’t get pregnant. What could he do?
Since he has no children anyway, he will do as he pleases. Even if Ning Yan can't give birth to a child, he won't lose anything!
At least I feel comfortable.

In the end, the mother and son parted unhappily.

After the emperor left, the empress dowager smashed a lot of porcelain and wished she could cut Ning Yan into pieces to prevent her from bewitching her son.

Unfortunately, the emperor is with Ning Yan every day, so she can't find any opportunity at all.

The empress dowager was so depressed and angry that she fell ill before she knew it.

After the imperial physician's diagnosis, he wrote out a prescription. The emperor personally served the medicine, but the empress dowager did not allow it, so she asked the concubines to take turns to serve the patient. The first one to be scheduled was Ning Yan.

Chuntao was so worried that she was about to cry, but Ning Yan glared back at her. What kind of place is the palace?
It's like you can't even cry or laugh.

If Chuntao really cries here today, not only she, but also her master will be punished!
The Queen Mother is sick and you are crying here, are you cursing her?!

Ning Yan obediently went forward to serve, bringing medicine, handing over a handkerchief, and massaging the empress dowager's head to relieve her discomfort. In short, she was ordered around by the empress dowager, but she did not show any reluctance on her face. At the end of the day, even the empress dowager could not say anything to her.

The emperor had been busy all day and thought of Ning Yan. When he learned that she was in the Cining Palace taking care of the patient, he was furious, but he had already done what he had done. If he went there again, it would only make the empress dowager hate Ning Yan even more. So he simply pretended that he didn't know what happened during the day and went directly to the queen's palace.

Upon hearing that the emperor was coming, the queen immediately ran to the door with a look of joy on her face to welcome him.

"May your Majesty be blessed with peace and prosperity."

Unfortunately, Chu Chengqian didn't even give her a glance and just let her squat there.

The smile on the queen's face disappeared, and her mind kept thinking about what she had done today and what she had done wrong to offend the master.

Soon, a layer of sweat broke out on her forehead. As time passed, the Queen was already staggering, so the Emperor spoke: "Why are you still standing there? Stand up."

The Queen originally wanted to show her courtesy to the Emperor, but even a fool could see that the Emperor came here today just to pick a fight with her, so she dared not move forward and could only stand aside obediently.

Unfortunately, the emperor wanted to make trouble for her and would not stop just because she was honest. When it was time for dinner, the palace servants brought the food.

Chu Chengqian sent away the eunuchs who served the meals and asked the queen to serve directly.

After dinner, he asked the Queen to wash his feet and give him a massage. Yes, she only washed his feet. She didn't even want to give him a bath, because that would expose too much of his body. The Emperor was afraid that the Queen would take advantage of him, so he only let her wash his feet.

This scared the palace maids in Kunning Palace. The emperor and the empress are the most noble couple in the world, but today the emperor treated the empress as a slave.

This, how can this be tolerated?

But this is not the end yet. It’s time to take a rest after washing your feet, right?

The emperor threw a copy of the Book of Songs to the queen and said, "Queen, I am tired today. Please read it to me. You are not allowed to stop until I tell you to."
