Chapter 375 Each Has Their Own Troubles
"Empress, Empress..." Hu Shanxiang was lost in thought. Yan Hui called her several times but she didn't respond.
"Well, what did you say?" Hu Shanxiang came back to her senses.
"I just asked you what you would like to eat for lunch, but you ignored me for a long time." Yan Hui wondered in his heart, what was wrong with the Empress these two days?
"Just eat something." Hu Shanxiang didn't have any ideas.
"Okay." Yan Hui stepped back and saw Ling Zhi coming over. Yan Hui stopped her and said, "Ling Zhi, come here. The queen has been in a bad mood recently. You are familiar with the queen. See how we do things."
"Sister is right. The Queen is not like this anymore in such a good year. Nothing has happened recently." Lingzhi felt that the situation seemed to have returned to the time when the Queen was unwilling to enter the palace and was in a daze all day long.
"Has Your Majesty ever done this before?" Yan Hui discovered the key point from her words.
"That was several years ago. At that time... I went to see the Queen." Lingzhi said as she walked in.
Hu Shanxiang thought about it for a while and then stopped thinking about it. There was no point in thinking so much now.
On the other hand, there was also someone in the Eastern Palace who was troubled, and that person was Concubine Guo.
Ever since someone broke into her room that day, Concubine Guo has been living in fear. She has not been able to sleep well and has been restless for a while. Sometimes she needs the imperial physician to prescribe calming soup before she can fall asleep.
Nothing happened in the past few days, so she felt relieved.
"Your Majesty, everyone in this palace is looking down on others. There have been fewer princes visiting recently, so those people are taking advantage of the situation." She silently looked at the things she had received from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, which were much less than usual.
"These people in the palace have always been like this, you know that. Okay, when our courtyard becomes lively after a while, they will come to curry favor with us again." Concubine Guo has experienced ups and downs for so many years, she will not make a fuss over such a small matter now.
"Your Highness, you really need to cheer up. The one in the main courtyard is waiting to see us make a fool of ourselves. Our little prince is now isolated by others in the academy. Those people are now fawning over the Crown Princess and Concubine Li. Really."
"Forget about the Crown Princess's followers. What's the difference between Li's followers and Xiao Yan? Besides, what good is fawning on them? No one can surpass His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, unless something unexpected happens to him..."
"Your Highness, this... the Crown Princess has several legitimate sons. Even if something happens to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, it won't be his turn... When our Highness reaches the age to go to the fiefdom, it won't be a bad thing..."
"What's the point? My family tried so hard to send me to the palace, but in the end I'm just a prince. What's the point?" Concubine Guo recalled what that person said last time. "I do have a legitimate son. If something happens to the Crown Princess and I take that position, my child will be... Besides, His Majesty doesn't know how long he will live. What position Your Highness will take in the future? The older ones may not even live to see the light of day. Have you forgotten? Didn't the first few sons of Emperor Taizu also pass away first? Nothing is impossible in this world."
"Your Majesty, if someone hears what we say, we'll be dead." The nanny was frightened by her crazy idea.
"I'm telling you, how could others know? Okay, the time has not come yet. Let's wait and see who can last longer." The more Concubine Guo thought about it, the more she thought it was feasible. She didn't know how that person would contact her later.
