Chapter 261: Chapter 261, the Empress Dowager’s thoughtsIn the Empress Dowager’s palace. After the empress dowager was exposed by Emperor Hui Lin, she could not eat. Her sense of taste had not worked since she was not favored. Once she had something troubling her, it would taste like wax. Ever since Lu Chen was born, the Empress Dowager had not liked the empress. She had even tampered with Empress Zhou several times when she was pregnant. If not for her niece Noble Consort Li protecting the empress everywhere, Lu Chen would not have lived to this day. Many times, the empress dowager had thought that the emperor had not been able to track her down because the emperor could not find out. Hearing what the Hui Lin Emperor had said today, the empress dowager finally understood. It turned out that the Hui Lin Emperor had always known about her tampering, and so did Lu Chen. A confidant at the side said, “Empress dowager, the Emperor has always been filial. By saying this, he is not pursuing the past. I think the crown prince is also filial. Why does the empress have to take it to heart? “Right now, you are the most honorable woman in all of Datang. You should be more relieved.” The empress dowager said, “Originally, I just didn’t want the bloodline of the Zhou family to become the future emperor. Now, I can’t keep the Crown Prince Anymore!” “Your Highness.” The confidant sighed. The empress dowager was already so old. Why was there a need for this? The empress dowager said, “How can the crown prince be so filial? Now that His Majesty is suppressing him, what about the future? He may not not hate the AI family. “If after he ascends the throne, he bestows that slut, concubine Zhou, as the late empress, I won’t be able to live in peace even underground!” At the side, imperial chef Li took out the powder made from rice sacks and fruits, lit it, and said, “What the Empress Dowager said is reasonable. Your Majesty, at this moment, there are rumors outside that Zhou Shihui is the Emperor’s daughter. The empress dowager can also use this to let the Emperor and empress contend. “Empress dowager, if you help Zhou Qinghe, then in the future, won’t Zhou Qinghe also help King Huai when he enters the palace?” Hearing this, the empress dowager said, “Zhou Qinghe is also that B * Tch’s niece. However, on account of being able to let King Huai seize the throne, I will help her this time!” The empress dowager took a puff of the rice sack flower fruit cigarette and instantly felt a little better! .. After Zhou Qing and he became famous, he was always chased by people wherever he went. Now, he was even called into the palace by the Empress Dowager every day. Yu Yan asked for news outside and said to Qiao jinniang, “Everyone in the palace said that the Empress Dowager also wants Zhou Qing and him to enter the palace. The reason why she hasn’t been rewarded is that His Majesty doesn’t want to let Zhou Qing and he down…” “Nonsense.” Lu Chen came from outside the hall and scolded Yu Yan when he heard her blabbering. Yu Yan knelt down repeatedly. “This servant knows her mistake.” Qiao Jinniang said to Lu Chen, “Why are you scaring my servant girl? You can leave first.” Yu Yan and the other palace maids quickly left. Lu Chen walked to Qiao Jinniang’s side and sat down. “As the crown prince’s consort, palace maids are not allowed to stir up trouble in the palace.” “Yuyan won’t gossip. She just told me the rumors outside,”Lady Qiao defended Yuyan and said, “Stop scaring my palace maids in the future.” Lu Chen said, “Glutinous Rice’s parents will arrive this afternoon. Do you want to go out and take a look?” Lady Qiao’s eyes lit up. “Of course I want to take a look. After all, they haven’t come back for years to look for glutinous rice. It’s extremely irresponsible for them to not come back until their son gets married.” Lu Chen took the ointment from the side and gently applied it on the burn on Qiao Jinniang’s hand. “Then, in a while, change into a set of inner servant’s clothes and go out with me.” “Yes.”Qiao jinniang nodded and said, “Right, Zhou Qing and his father have been going to the empress dowager’s place every day. are mother and father really not going to explain?” By now, the entire Luoyang was almost certain that Zhou Shihui was the princess. Lu Chen said, “Zhou Shihui’s biological father’s identity is a little troublesome, so father allowed the rumors to spread.” Qiao Jinniang was even more curious. “Who is her biological father? Why would father rather this rumor spread among the people than explain it?” Lu Chen said, “Curiosity kills the cat. It’s better that you don’t know. It’s related to the reputation of an important figure in great Tang.” Qiao jinniang said, “Whose reputation is more important than father’s? Just tell me. I can definitely keep the secret. Other than you, I have no one else to tell.” Qiao Jinniang looked at Lu Chen with a deep thirst for knowledge. Lu Chen said, “Take a break for lunch first. When you wake up, I will bring you to the outside of the palace.” Qiao Jinniang wrapped her hands around Lu Chen’s shoulders and said, “Good brother, just tell me. I swear that I will never tell anyone.” Lu Chen said, “I don’t want to tell you this because I have a guess in my heart. I’ll think about whether to tell you after I’m sure.” Qiao Jinniang became even more curious when she heard this. “If you don’t tell me, I’m afraid I won’t even be able to sleep during my lunch break. I beg you.” Lu Chen said, “Anyway, you’ll know one day. Go and see Glutinous Rice’s parents first.” Qiao Jinniang snorted, she glared at Lu Chen and said, “As expected of the high and mighty crown prince. In the past, you told me everything in Lin ‘an, but now you’re not willing to tell me anything. I was originally locked in the East Palace, and you still don’t allow me to know the secret…” After saying that, Qiao Jinniang took the blanket from the side and covered her entire head. Lu Chen sighed. “Be careful not to suffocate. Then you have to promise that after I tell you, you are not to act Rashly.” “Okay.”Qiao Jinniang sat up and looked at Lu Chen with great interest. Lu Chen said, “Zhou Shihui’s biological father is Qian Yin’s brother, Qian Yi. After Qian Yi became a monk on Laojun Mountain, he became the abbot of Laojun Temple. The abbot of Laojun temple has always been the grand tutor of Great Tang.” Qiao Jinniang heard this and said, “So the niece that Qian Yin is looking for is Zhou Shihui? That’s not right. He has seen Zhou Shihui before, but he didn’t recognize her as his niece. Instead, he thinks that Xie Xiangxiang is his niece?” Lu Chen said, “Qian Yin only knows that Xiangxiang is his niece, but he doesn’t know that Zhou Qinghe was also pregnant with his elder brother’s child. Back then, Qian Yi fell in love with a singing girl by the Huai River. The old princess didn’t agree, so he eloped with the singing girl to Yinzhou. After the singing girl became pregnant, Qian Yi began to have a headache over his identity as an unborn child. Coincidentally, he met Zhou Qing he at that time. Zhou Qing he fell in love with him at first sight and confided in him. He even told him about Zhou Qing he’s identity. Qian Yi wanted to marry Zhou Qing and become his wife so that the singing girl could follow him back to the Wu royal residence as a concubine. He did not have to let the child be born without a name and cause ridicule. “But who knew that Zhou Qing and the singing girl were unwilling to share a husband with the singing girl, forcing Qian Yi to choose one. Qian Yi naturally couldn’t give up on the weak singing girl, abandoning Zhou Qing and…” Qiao Jinniang heard this and cursed, “This Qian Yi is really a scum. Zhou Qing and have also met a bad person.. “No, that day, I went to Qingming Academy with you. I heard Xie Shanchang say that Qian Yi met an enemy and killed his daughter. “That enemy was Zhou Qing he?” Lu Chen nodded lightly. “Yes.” Qiao jinniang said, “Zhou Qing he met a scumbag man, and he was indeed pitiful. But what enmity did that child have with her? If he wanted revenge, why didn’t he go after Qian Yi. “Bullying a newborn baby, what kind of ability is that?” Qiao Jinniang cursed indignantly. Suddenly, as if she had thought of something, she looked at Lu Chen and said, “SA Mo’er once said that glutinous rice looked similar to Qian Yin. Qian Yin also identified glutinous rice as his niece at a glance. Do you think it’s possible that the baby didn’t die back then? is it glutinous rice?”
