Chapter 409 - Bottom of the Valley
"Madam, do you still have something to say?"
With her back to Su Mumu, a gentle breeze brought the faint fragrance of pear blossoms to her nose, and Nan Muchen couldn't help but take a deep breath.
"Husband, he wants your child, right?"
Unintentionally grabbing the hem of the skirt and tearing it apart, Su Mumu asked uneasily.
"Exactly."
Not wanting Su Mumu to continue dreaming, Nan Muchen immediately woke up.
Su Mumu once again had a profound understanding of the human heart, but she was unwilling to do so. Su Mumu still had to struggle to the death.
"Maybe your husband is too worried."
After laughing a few times, Nan Muchen jumped onto the beam again.
"As long as the lady is happy."
A few words floated into Su Mumu's ears, causing Su Mumu to be silent for a long time.
"Your Majesty, today the emperor is holding a night banquet at Linde Hall to celebrate his appointment as queen."
He woke up Su Mumu from deep thought, put away the dowry, and helped Su Mumu get up to have breakfast.
The food was tasteless, so Su Mumu swallowed some bird's nest porridge and ordered Forsythia to follow her to the Yongxiu Hall to talk to Qiu Fei about the past.
As soon as I entered the main entrance of Yongxiu Palace, I saw Qiu Fei dancing his sword under the pines.
"I've met Mr. Qiu."
Surprised by Su Mumu's appearance, Qiu Fei stopped wielding the long sword in his hand, then closed his arms and bowed to Su Mumu.
"How come the queen is here?"
Although there are differences between men and women, since the relationship between Emperor Xuan and Qiu Fei was clarified, Su Mumu was more willing to treat Qiu Fei as a sister. Qiu Fei was not very disgusted with Su Mumu's attitude towards him.
"Yesterday, I felt very tired during the conferment ceremony. I didn't take the time to come and visit Mr. Qiu. Please forgive me, Mr. Qiu."
His attitude was bright and pleasant, and he was friendly with a hint of goodwill. This made Qiu Fei, who had been having trouble with Emperor Xuan since returning from the ceremony yesterday, feel very comfortable.
"Where did the Queen come from? Qiu heard that the Queen was pregnant and has not been out since she returned to Chuhua Palace. Qiu couldn't go to bother her. I hope the Queen will forgive me."
The polite words were boring. Su Mumu followed Qiu Fei's gesture and went to sit down at the stone table in the shade under the tree.
"Young Master Qiu is serious, but why is Mr. Qiu the only one here today?"
Qiu Fei and Emperor Xuan are as good as one person. As long as Emperor Xuan appears, he will definitely see Qiu Fei. If Qiu Fei is by his side, Emperor Xuan will follow him. Su Mumu has never seen Emperor Xuan appear since she entered Yongxiu Hall.
, I felt a little strange.
"The emperor said he had something important to attend to, and he has left the palace now."
To be able to leave his heart in the palace and leave the palace alone, Emperor Xuan's behavior is really suspicious.
"Oh, how could the emperor let Mr. Qiu go out of the palace alone?"
He deliberately smiled like a gossip, and Qiu Fei didn't take it seriously when he saw it.
"As an emperor, how can I be as free as you and I are?"
Thinking of Nan Muchen who was currently hiding on the beam of his palace, Su Mumu couldn't help but cursed, they are both emperors, why is there such a big gap?
"Yes, Mr. Qiu is absolutely right."
He always felt that Su Mumu's trip was not easy. Qiu Fei looked up and down at Su Mumu who was wearing loose clothes.
"I heard that the queen was feeling unwell yesterday. Is she feeling better?"
Sitting opposite Su Mumu, he took a silk cloth and carefully wiped the sword body. A cold light fell on Su Mumu, making Su Mumu squint his eyes.
"I heard that Emperor Xuan came to Chuhua Palace to visit me one after another, so I came here to express my gratitude to the emperor. Who would have thought that the emperor would actually leave the palace."
The wiping hand suddenly stopped, Huo Di raised his head and stared at Su Mumu sharply.
"The queen may be overly worried. The emperor is just worried that the queen may accidentally hurt her body and affect the unborn dragon child."
Meeting Qiu Fei's clear eyes, Su Mumu thought about it suspiciously.
Could it be that Qiu Fei, like himself, was unaware of all the plans of the person next to him? No, maybe he was just a better actor.
"It's my fault that I have made the Emperor worry so much. So, I take my leave."
Su Mumu stood up from the white jade stool and walked out slowly.
Watching Su Mumu leave, Qiu Fei's eyes flashed with fierceness.
"Madam, it is said that Mr. Qiu is the son of General Ju Deming, the tiger general of the Beijing Kingdom. Duyun Hu's father has no son, so why is this Qiu Fei willing to become the male favorite of Emperor Donglin? Forsythia always feels that there is something wrong with him."
These are also what Su Mumu is worried about. After listening to Forsythia's words, Su Mumu couldn't help but nod frequently.
"Forsythia's analysis is correct, so I have to contact Qiu Fei again and again to understand the secrets. Just now I saw him dancing his sword under the tree. He seemed to have infinite thoughts in his heart, and there seemed to be anger hidden in it. However, this
Whether the anger is directed at Emperor Xuan or this palace is open to question."
While talking, he noticed that Forsythia kept looking behind her, and Su Mumu also looked behind her curiously.
Two beautifully dressed women were following behind Su Mumu, each holding a fan. They were pointing and laughing, which was really annoying.
"Empress, ignore them."
Seeing that Su Mumu turned around and looked over, the two of them covered their mouths with fans in their hands and sneered, turning around and leaving quickly.
"She's just a palace maid who climbed onto the emperor's bed with some tricks. How does she qualify to be the queen? Well, she used her beauty to seduce the emperor, but she could end up like Daji. She couldn't even save her body."
He deliberately spoke loudly so that Su Mumu heard clearly, and the two walked away side by side, leaving only a joke behind.
"It turns out that this is Emperor Xuan's plan."
Standing on the spot with sudden enlightenment, Su Mumu pondered the truth carefully.
"Empress, what are you talking about?"
Not understanding what Su Mumu said at all, Forsythia just rolled her eyes disdainfully at the two people who were walking away.
Without any explanation, Su Mumu turned around and returned to Chuhua Palace.
Looking towards Liang, there was no figure of Nan Muchen at all.
"Forsythia, go find your emperor and come out."
He took out a letter from his sleeve and presented it with both hands.
"The emperor said that Forsythia should wait until the empress comes out of Yongxiu Palace before giving it to the empress."
He took the letter in Forsythia's hand, unfolded it and glanced at it a few times.
Madam, please leave the palace for your husband. Go and come back quickly. Don’t think about it.
Emperor Xuan left the palace alone, and Nan Muchen, who secretly sneaked into the Donglin Palace, also left the palace. Su Mumu, who was in the whirlpool, crumpled the letter into a ball and muttered to himself.
"The two emperors have left the palace. It seems that the weather in Donglin is going to change."
After changing into light clothes for Su Mumu, Forsythia served Su Mumu and took a break so that she could have enough energy to attend the dinner.
"Your Majesty, Forsythia knows that no matter how bad the situation changes, the Emperor will always hold up a protective umbrella for Your Majesty. No matter how difficult it is..."
It was hard for Forsythia to trust the cunning and changeable Nan Muchen so much, so Su Mumu, who was not easy to argue with, had to pretend she had never heard anything.
"I'm tired. If your emperor comes back, let him rest on the beam and don't disturb me."
