C381 Prepare to be Crown Prince
Mu Ruqing entered the palace. Yu Longchen was busy dealing with deceased emperor's matter, and he had to be on guard against Yu Longzi's hidden threat.
The Empress was unconscious in Phoenix Hall, Mu Ruqing lived in the Wuxi Palace, and Yu Jingmo lived in the side hall of the Wuxi Palace.
Yu Longchen only came to the Wuxi Palace when the lights were on. Only the palace maids were present.
Yu Longchen went straight to the room.
"Paying respects to the Emperor." The palace maids bowed.
"Where is Empress?" Yu Longchen was puzzled. Mu Ruqing should not be running around now. He knew about Mu Ruqing's assassination today and immediately sent Commander of Praetorian Guard to jail.
Initially, he wanted to remove the organization of Praetorian Guard, but he remembered that he hadn't ascended the throne yet. It wasn't suitable for deceased emperor to do these things on the first day of his visit.
"Your Ladyship and Aunt Lingyue went to the Imperial Kitchens." The palace maid replied.
Yu Longchen flung his sleeves and was somewhat anxious. Just as he reached the door and had yet to step out of the threshold, he heard Mu Ruqing's voice.
He strode out and was somewhat angry. When he walked out, he ran into Mu Ruqing. He supported her shoulder and pretended to scold, "You are still running around with a big belly. Don't you know that I will be worried?"
"I know. That's why I brought a lot of people with me." Mu Ruqing was not afraid of him. Lingyue walked up and carried the plate. Mu Ruqing opened the lid and the fragrance came out. It went straight to Yu Longchen's nose. It aroused his appetite, "This is the soup that I personally made for you. Let's go. Quickly go in."
"Okay." Yu Longchen immediately obediently walked to Mu Ruqing's side.
In the hall, looking at the two people's loving appearance, the palace maids in the palace were all full of envy. It turned out that they had heard of King Chu and favoured Princess Chu. Now, it seemed that it was indeed true.
Yu Longchen drank the soup and occasionally blew the cool air to feed Mu Ruqing, "Are you scared?"
"Yes, I am." Mu Ruqing raised her chin and nodded. "There are too few people. I am a little disappointed. Yu Longzi is desperate."
"He does not have the ability now." Yu Longchen did not care and wiped the corner of Mu Ruqing's mouth. "Do you think I picked up this throne?"
Mu Ruqing was stunned. She bit the spoon Yu Longchen fed her and shook her head.
"He has already lost the biggest help in Second Big Brother's matter." Yu Longchen pulled the spoon and Mu Ruqing did not let go. Yu Longchen smiled helplessly. He pinched her cheek and said, "That's why he poisoned deceased emperor. When Eunuch Gao announced the secret decree, he could not refute it. Although there were some parts of the Praetorian Guard, he did it. Everyone had the right to punish them, even if the Praetorian Guard surrounded the Raising Palace Hall. Any few ministers and soldiers from the government residence and the secret guards of the prince's mansion would be able to force him to retreat. Therefore, he didn't dare to do so. He could only watch helplessly as his gaze finally landed on you. "
"Mm ~ ~" Mu Ruqing dragged her voice and let go of the spoon. She looked like she was sticking to him.
"Furthermore, your husband doesn't have no power. Right now, in the Imperial Court, there are many officials who support your husband, including your father, more than him."
"Yes, yes, my husband is powerful." Mu Ruqing squinted her eyes and smiled happily.
"So, just be a good Empress and give birth to our son." Yu Longchen put the bowl to the side.
"I have an idea" Mu Ruqing looked at Yu Longchen tentatively. She was not sure.
"Yes." Yu Longchen stood up and brought some saliva to the palace maids.
"Emperor..." The palace maids were somewhat hesitant. In their impression, how could the Emperor do such a thing.
"Zhen came personally." Yu Longchen said to the palace maids and gave it to Mu Ruqing, "Tell me."
"Even if you are the king, you should also prevent deceased emperor from such a scene. Brothers fighting for the throne and harming their blood relatives." Mu Ruqing rinsed her mouth and Yu Longchen took a handkerchief to wipe her lips. " Jingmo is already three years old. A good heir must be nurtured from a young age. What does the Emperor think?"
Yu Longchen touched his chin and seemed to be thinking about the merits of Mu Ruqing's words. Actually, he also thought the same. Setting Yu Jingmo as the Crown Prince, he was originally afraid that Mu Ruqing would not agree. Now it seemed that it was completely unnecessary.
" How is it? " Mu Ruqing saw Yu Longchen's expression and thought that he had an opinion.
"Okay." Yu Longchen replied, "After the coronation, I will give the decree."
"You're the best." Mu Ruqing pinched Yu Longchen's nose.
Yu Longchen's expression was a little strange but in his heart, he doted, "I am the Emperor!"
"So what? You are my husband after all." Mu Ruqing smiled heartlessly.
"Yes, yes." Yu Longchen smiled dotingly and helped Mu Ruqing up. "It's time to rest. There are still many cumbersome matters to attend tomorrow's ceremony. I'm just afraid that it will tire you out."
"Alright." Mu Ruqing held her stomach and followed Yu Longchen in.
Lingyue did not go in. She knew that even if she went in, she would not need her place.
After taking care of the matters in the front hall, just as she reached the door, she heard the palace maids discussing.
"The Emperor treats Empress too well. After entering the Palace for so many years, I have never seen the Emperor talking about me to the concubines."
"En, it really makes people envious, say..."
The palace maid abducted another palace maid. When they saw Lingyue, the two of them lowered their heads in fear and trepidation, "Aunt."
"The palace is a place that kills without blinking an eye and does not spit out bones when eating. How can the two biggest mistresses be discussed by us servants? ! " Lingyue already had the aura of killing and now, she stared at the two palace maids until their backs turned cold. " Calling me aunt can also be considered as praising me. Here, I will warn you that this servant will do what this servant should do. You should know the rest?"
"Yes, this servant will remember your aunt's teachings." The palace maid bowed and felt more at ease.
"Let's go." Lingyue sent down two people and lightly sighed as she raised her head to look at the palace wall.
Lowering her eyes, she saw Changxu waiting outside. Joy filled her heart and she walked over.
Changxu opened his hands. Lingyue's face turned red. She gently patted his shoulder. "What are you doing?"
"I see that the Emperor and Empress are not like this. Usually, when the Emperor opens his hand, the Empress would hug over and the reverse would be the same." Changxu had a look of grievance.
"Enough, what are you talking about." Lingyue gently hit him. "Let's go."
"Okay.." Changxu held Lingyue's hand and did not let go." I will hold my wife's hand. You have no objections, right? "
Lingyue smiled and did not refute him.
Phoenix Hall.
The Empress had just woken up and her body became weak. She called out twice before a palace maid came over, "Your Ladyship."
"Where is King Yi? Quickly summon him into the Palace. Bengong has something to discuss with him." The Empress struggled, unable to get up, and could only raise her hand.
" Your Ladyship, the Palace has already put down the key and cannot leave. Furthermore, the Emperor instructed that Your Ladyship's health is not good and must be properly raised in the Palace and cannot go out. " The palace maids were also helpless. Even she went out and this was actually under house arrest.
"Emperor? What Emperor?" The Empress's eyes turned red and her entire face turned red, "Bengong is the Empress! What is he, just a lowly bastard!"
"Your Ladyship!" The palace maid was afraid and covered the Empress's mouth, "Don't speak nonsense!"
"Ah!" The palace maid was bitten by the Empress and retracted her hand, clearly seeing a bite mark.
The Empress struggled to get up, but just as she stepped on it, her entire body fell off the bed!
