Chapter 1818: The Emperor wants to toss, we will accompany him to toss

The old lady of the Hou Fu passed away, and the heir's wife, Lu, became the highest leader of the Hou Fu's inner courtyard, and she was also Empress Chen's biological mother.

Receiving the decree from the palace, Lu began to prepare to enter the palace to pay respects to Empress Chen.

She was a bit terrified. "His Majesty let me enter the palace to visit the Empress at this time, what does it mean?"

Chen Guanfu let her rest assured, no need to panic. "The court is turbulent, what does it have to do with you, a woman in the inner courtyard. Don't mention a single word."

"In case the Empress asks, how should I answer? The Empress's side, do you say there are the Emperor's people?"

Chen Guanfu frowned slightly. "The Empress understands the danger in the palace better than you and me. However..."

"However what?" Lu asked eagerly.

Chen Guanfu pondered for a while. "If Chen Guanlou is allowed to follow into the palace, with him there, there is no need to worry about anyone peeking. He is a ninth-rank martial artist, without his consent, no one below the Grandmaster can get close."

"Is it appropriate to bring him into the palace?"

"Of course it's appropriate. He and the Hou Fu have already left the five clothes, no need to observe mourning. And, it has already been more than a hundred days of hot mourning. Some things, it is more appropriate for him to convey on his behalf."

Chen Guanfu was worried that his wife would be timid and reveal flaws when entering the palace.

People in the palace stir up three points without anything, and all like to think more. A look, an expression, a sentence, can all imply many meanings.

The court was noisy these days, and he didn't want the Hou Fu to be involved in this storm.

He made up his mind. "Just let Chen Guanlou go into the palace with you. It's not like he hasn't entered the palace before, his identity is clean enough!"

The matter was settled like this.

Afterward, Chen Guanfu invited Chen Guanlou to drink tea, and the two brothers sat in the flower hall and pushed cups and changed cups.

Chen Guanlou drank wine, Chen Guanfu drank tea, he was still in the mourning period, not suitable for drinking.

In the capital, it is even more important to pay attention to details. The Embroidered Uniform Guard is everywhere, but if he dared to raise a wine glass tonight, in a few days, the Emperor's desk could be piled with impeachment memorials.

That group of censors was worried about not catching the Hou Fu's handle.

This kind of small detail is not worth mentioning on others. Observing mourning is often a ritual, and no one really strictly follows the etiquette, eating vegetarian for three years.

It's just that the Hou Fu is cooking oil with fire, and it is very necessary to be cautious.

"Entering the palace to pay respects to the Empress, no problem, I can go. It's just, what do you want me to do in the palace?" Chen Guanlou drank wine, his mood had a bit of fluctuation.

This wave of contention for the foundation of the country is coming fiercely.

He vaguely felt that it seemed to be contending for the foundation of the country, but it was actually another confrontation between prime ministerial power and imperial power. Xie Changling wanted to use the foundation of the country to suppress the Emperor, and the Emperor also wanted to take advantage of this storm to make a big fuss and get real power.

"Tell the Empress, the prince is young, the foundation of the country is not urgent, don't fall into the trap."

Chen Guanlou raised his eyebrows slightly. "You are not worried that the Emperor will bypass the eldest prince and establish other princes as Crown Prince?"

"No! Xie Changling will be the first to oppose, at that time, the entire court will be voices of opposition. Even if the Emperor can hold the universe alone, the matter of the foundation of the country cannot be decided by the Emperor alone."

Chen Guanfu had confidence.

Privately, he and Xie Changling had a tacit understanding early on, the throne can only be Song Qiyu's, so as to ensure the continuation of the interests of both sides, so as not to be settled after the autumn.

If the throne falls into the hands of other princes, from Empress Chen to Song Qiyu, they must all die. If they don't die, the new Emperor's throne won't sit securely.

As the mother's family of the Empress, the mother's family of Song Qiyu, the Hou Fu bears the brunt, and also has to die. Even if they don't die, they are half-disabled! This consequence, the Hou Fu cannot bear.

A century-old foundation destroyed in one day, anyone would feel pain.

Chen Guanlou nodded clearly. "Actually, you should believe in the Empress's wisdom, she is not an impulsive person."

"The Emperor issued a decree, letting your sister-in-law enter the palace to pay respects to the Empress, to relieve the Empress's longing for home. The court is shaking these days, your sister-in-law is terrified, and I cannot accompany her into the palace, so I can only ask you to take care of it. Perhaps, the Empress has words to convey."

The reason is also sufficient.

Chen Guanlou knew his mission, to be a messenger, to make it convenient for both sides.

He is a Grandmaster, unless Wei Wubing and Zhou Mobai come in person, no one can eavesdrop.

In the palace, even if Wei and Zhou are Grandmasters, they must respect the Empress and dare not peek privately. Who let them be, one is a eunuch, one is a royal offering, both are the royal family's dogs!

The Empress, as the head of the royal family, the clan wife, naturally also possesses corresponding power and respect.

Lu handed the card into the palace, and soon there was news from the palace, letting her enter the palace to visit two days later.

When the day came, early in the morning, Chen Guanlou rode a horse to escort Lu into the palace.

Verified his identity at the palace gate, and followed the little yellow gate to the Fengzao Palace.

After so many years, Empress Dowager Sun has always occupied the Kunning Palace and never moved. The Emperor pretended not to know about this, and Empress Chen didn't make a fuss. The situation in the inner palace has been maintained like this.

Walking all the way to the Fengzao Palace, the palace people waited early.

"The Empress has been waiting for a long time, Madam, please go this way. Prison Warden Chen, please wait a moment. The Empress wants to say a few words to Madam first."

Chen Guanlou agreed, guarding outside the main hall, "protecting the law" for them, to prevent anyone from peeking and eavesdropping.

Inside the main hall, there was a faint sound of crying, crying very suppressed, and soon suppressed again.

Mother and daughter poured out their hearts, and half an hour passed in a blink of an eye.

Afterward, Lu was invited to the side hall to wash and rest.

Chen Guanlou was invited into the main hall.

Empress Chen sat in the main seat. "Uncle Lou is here."

She looked very happy, even a bit excited.

Chen Guanlou stepped forward to salute!

"Exempt from salute! Uncle Lou, sit down and talk!"

The palace people served tea, and afterward, the palace maids and eunuchs serving in the main hall retreated one after another.

"Uncle Lou knows, a few days ago, Dowager Concubine Jing entered the palace to pay respects to the Empress Dowager."

Chen Guanlou frowned instantly. "The Empress mentions this matter..."

"Uncle Lou, haven't you broken up with Dowager Concubine Jing after so many years?"

"What happened?" Chen Guanlou had a bad premonition.

Empress Chen pointed to the direction of the Kunning Palace. "There seems to be a perception there. Uncle Lou, don't worry, I have already done the finishing work. However, it is ultimately not safe enough. The safest way is for Uncle Lou to break up with Dowager Concubine Jing immediately."

"Are you sure Empress Dowager Sun already knows?"

Empress Chen shook her head. "I guess it was someone from the Prince Rui's Mansion who leaked the wind. You also know that Empress Dowager Sun has always been resentful of Dowager Concubine Xiao and Dowager Concubine Jing. If it weren't for Minister Xie and the others suppressing it, the Empress Dowager would definitely not let it go. Empress Dowager Sun will send people to investigate this matter later to confirm Dowager Concubine Jing's crime. Uncle Lou must be careful."

"Thank you, Empress, I know. I will handle this matter cleanly! Your father asked me to convey to you, the prince is young, the foundation of the country is not urgent, don't act impulsively."

"Father worries too much. How could I not understand these principles. However..." Empress Chen sighed. "The Emperor is unwilling, forcing me to move, and I can only make a gesture to fight for the prince." After speaking, she sighed. Being in the inner palace, many times she couldn't help herself.

Chen Guanlou was very worried. "Is there any danger?"

Empress Chen nodded. "There is definitely danger, but I have been prepared for a long time. Trouble Uncle to convey to Father, when necessary, the Northwest can move. Since the Emperor wants to toss, we will accompany him to toss!" ===== CHAPTER 1819 =====
