Emperor Lan Qian took little Yan Bao away, and Concubine Zhen fell down on a chair. Her fingernails dug deeply into her palms, bleeding, but she didn't notice it.

It was Mammy who came in again, and seeing the blood on Concubine Zhen’s hands, she exclaimed, “Concubine!”

Because Emperor Lan Qian did not allow palace servants to stay inside, the nanny did not know what the emperor had said.

But seeing how distraught the concubine was, she guessed that it must be a serious matter.

"Toffee, do you want to send a message outside?"

Concubine Zhen shook her head. If she made any move at this moment, she would definitely be caught.

Although what the emperor said was correct, there is still no substantial evidence. As long as she refuses to admit it, there is still hope for a turning point.

No matter how much I planned, I never expected that such a little princess would appear in Lan Kingdom.

This great plan was likely to fail. Although she was unwilling, she did not want her son, whom she had never seen since he was born, to confront the little princess.

I would rather not have this great cause.

The little princess is so amazing. Why did her son suddenly come to Lan Kingdom at this time?

And no information was revealed to her in advance.

She felt that the emperor did this tonight just to expose her true colors.

So she couldn't take any action.

Tiffany Jane slowly loosened her tightly clenched hands and said, "Go back to sleep."

Mammy opened her mouth but still said nothing.

Not far from Su Jin Hua Tang, Xiao Yan Bao took the tiger head out of the Ruyi bag and said, "Go keep an eye on Su Jin Hua Tang and see if they have any movements."

The tiger flapped its wings and flew away.

Little Yanbao wanted to see whether Concubine Zhen would send someone to contact Qin Zhe after being frightened by his father.

If she contacted Qin Zhe, then Concubine Zhen knew about it. If she didn't contact her, it would only further prove that Concubine Zhen was cunning enough.

He is a man who can keep his composure.

Zhang Fu was very puzzled. Why did the emperor suddenly go to the imperial kitchen? If he wanted to eat something, he could just give orders. He wouldn't have to cook it himself, right?

Zhang Fu quickly shook his head, feeling ridiculous for having such a funny idea.

How could the emperor cook for himself?

But the emperor was indeed acting strangely today. He never eats at this time of the day. Even if he was very hungry, he would not eat.

Today I broke the routine.

Speaking of being hungry, Emperor Lan Qian was indeed a little hungry. He had no appetite at all because of the things happening around the envoys from the Xuan Kingdom these days.

"Your Majesty, you haven't eaten much these days because of the matter with the Lan Kingdom envoy. How about your Majesty and the little princess return to the palace first, and I'll go to the imperial kitchen. I'm afraid that the smoky place in the imperial kitchen will suffocate your Majesty."

Emperor Lan Qian: I didn’t intend to go to the imperial kitchen in the first place. This is just to stop Da Huang from talking!

If Dahuang continued talking, her precious daughter would become alert and she would no longer be able to hear their voices.

Then you have to listen to less gossip.

Life was already hard, and now it's even less fun.

Emperor Lan Qian stopped and said, "Okay, Yan Bao, what do you want to eat?"

Little Yanbao thought for a moment and said, "All the dishes made by the imperial kitchen are delicious. I can handle anything."

Emperor Lan Qian felt distressed when he heard his daughter's words. This child had suffered too much, and as long as she had a full meal, everything would be delicious to her.

"Just cook a few of the little princess' favorite dishes."

Zhang Fu agreed and turned to leave.

When Da Huang heard that Emperor Lan Qian did not mention his meat and bones, he was about to complain, but Emperor Lan Qian said loudly: "Don't forget to bring back meat and bones for Da Huang."

"I will never forget it."

Zhang Fu quickened his pace.

Ever since I took the pills the little princess gave me, I feel my legs and feet are becoming lighter and lighter.

If he continues like this, he will have no problem staying with the emperor for another twenty years.

"Daddy, you are getting better and better to Da Huang."

"Da Huang is your spiritual pet, so of course Father has to treat it well. Not to mention eating its meat and bones, Father would even be willing to give it delicacies from the mountains and the sea."

Da Huang: This emperor is not bad.

In the future, you should listen more to the ministers' voices and talk to your master about them.

The matter of little Yanbao's return to the palace was reported to Queen Hui by the palace maid stationed in Qianhe Palace. So when Emperor Lan Qian came back with little Yanbao in his arms, Queen Hui was already waiting in Qianhe Palace.

"Yan Bao, why didn't you go see the Queen Mother first when you returned to the palace?"

Little Yanbao opened his arms, indicating that he wanted to go into his mother's arms.

Emperor Lan Qian reluctantly handed little Yan Bao to Queen Hui.

Little Yanbao kissed his mother on the face without saying anything, "Mom, Dad and I went to do some work. We were planning to see you when we came back, but you came first. I didn't forget you."

Queen Hui smiled, "I don't blame you. I love you. I made some delicious food and kept it warm in the kitchen, thinking that you can eat it if you go to my place first."

"That's great. Let the palace maid bring it here. The food from the imperial kitchen will be here soon." Emperor Lan Qian interrupted.

As soon as Queen Hui came, his precious daughter no longer cared about him as her father.

"Taoyao, go back and bring the dishes that were warmed up for the little princess."

Taoyao agreed and went back quickly to serve the dishes.

"Your Majesty, I heard that you took Yan Bao to Su Jin Hua Tang. Could it be that the matter of the Xuan Kingdom envoy is related to Concubine Zhen?"

In the past, Queen Hui would not have asked these questions, but the envoy from the Xuan Kingdom wanted to make a bet with her daughter, so this was not only a state affair, but also concerned her precious daughter.

The emperor has not been to Su Jinhua Hall for so many years. Since the envoy from Xuan Kingdom came, the emperor has been there twice in just three days. She doesn't think this is just a coincidence.

Xiao Yanbao: Mother is so smart too.

This palace is a place where smart people gather.

Little Yanbao leaned over to his mother's ear and said, "Mother, the Xuan Kingdom envoy Qinzhe is the son of Concubine Zhen."

These words shocked Queen Hui so much that she almost jumped up from her chair.

No matter how calm and steady she is on weekdays, this news is too shocking.

In an instant, all kinds of speculations surged in my mind.

My thoughts couldn't calm down for a long time.

If the Prince Yuzun of Xuan Kingdom is the son of the late emperor and Concubine Zhen, then why has he been lurking in Xuan Kingdom for so many years and suddenly come to Lan Kingdom to make a bet with his daughter? Is he here to test Yan Bao's strength?

Although the stakes are not high, Lan Kingdom can afford to lose such a barren mountain. If Yan Bao loses, will he use the military force of Xuan Kingdom to overthrow Lan Kingdom next?

The more Queen Hui thought about it, the more worried she became.

Although Lan Kingdom now has a precious daughter, there is still a huge gap between Lan Kingdom's strength and Xuan Kingdom's.

Little Yan Bao saw the worry on his mother's face and hugged her neck with his little hands, "Mom, don't worry, as long as Yan Bao is here, no one's evil plan will succeed."

Before Empress Hui could speak, Zhang Fu hurried in, "Your Majesty, Ge Bu is here."
