Chapter VIII Back Position Not Guaranteed
"Is this really true?" She pushed Su Jin's hand to feed the medicine.
Su Jin helpless, nodded his head.
Lauren took a deep breath and got up from her bed with great energy. Fortunately, she was still in William Hall, Herbert was in the front hall, and she still had the strength to walk up to him.
"Empress, the emperor has ordered that the empress should not ask about the prince's affairs again, otherwise the empress will be put in limbo!" Su Jin fell to the ground, urgent voice begged.
She has been with the Queen for a long time. She knows that if the Queen interferes again, the Emperor will be furious and the Queen's position may be in jeopardy.
Lauren looked calm. She gave a wry smile. "Su Jin, if you are in such a hurry, you must have seen that the emperor has decided to kill the prince. If I don't dissuade him, the emperor will have no more brothers!"
"But the emperor is angry, he may not be willing to listen to the empress, besides the empress and the prince..."
Who does not know, the empress has a close relationship with the prince, people who know the inside story may believe that the prince is only courteous to the empress, and the empress is only bent on the emperor, but people who don't know the inside story have always been gossip, and the emperor has been angry about it!
Especially today, the Empress has already spread to the outside of the palace to save the prince. The ballads have been sung in the streets and lanes. The emperor is an emperor and a monarch on high. How can he endure it?
Su Jin hesitated. Lauren's heart was like a mirror. She sighed lightly. "Su Jin sent a message to the Meng family for me, saying that I acted with discretion. No matter what choice I made, I asked the family to distance themselves from me and never participate in it, especially in matters related to the prince."
Su Jin had to stop again. Lauren glanced at her. "Su Jin forgot that the prince saved your life?"
"The prince's grace, Su Jin has no teeth unforgettable, but how can the empress, Su Jin let the empress take risks? If you can, Su Jin would like to cut to pieces in exchange for the well-being of the empress and the prince!"
"But none of you can persuade him about this!" Even she is not sure that she can persuade Herbert back, but how can she not persuade him?
"What are you arguing about?" Herbert's slightly angry voice came from outside the curtain. The imperial secretary lifted the curtain. He leaned in and saw Lauren fall to the ground. He shouted coldly, "How do you all work?"
The palace people were so scared that they all fell to the ground. Even the imperial concubine Shu bent her knees slightly and lowered her head. She said in a charming voice, "The emperor calms down."
"How to calm down, if the Empress is ill, you can't afford to take care of Shu Fei!"
"Yes, male and female servants are wrong." Shu Guifei bent her knees and knelt on the ground, kowtowing to Lauren and pleading, "Please take care of the phoenix."
"Please take care of the phoenix body!" The palace people begged on their knees.
Lauren was so angry when she saw Herbert move that she even showed no mercy to the imperial concubine Shu. She had to pretend to be relaxed. "Your Majesty, I'm tired from lying down. It doesn't matter if I want to get up and walk."
"Does the queen want to meet me in the front hall?"
Lauren stunned, if she couldn't hide anything from him, smiled calmly. "There are some personal things that I want to say to the emperor."
Su Jin looked up at the emperor's face and led the imperial officials to retreat quietly. Shu Guifei was still kneeling on the ground. Herbert's eyes swept away. "Does Aifei want to listen to the Queen's personal words to me in my William Hall?"
Shu Guifei turned white and bent down to ask, "The male and female servants are confused. The male and female servants will retire." She was busy taking the imperial officials and withdrew from the inner hall.
When she turned around, she looked up. The emperor picked up the queen in the middle. She bit her teeth jealously. The queen always got the emperor's preference. Even the guards who killed the emperor in front of William Temple were forgiven with only one finger broken. The emperor also went to great pains for her.
How could she, Lauren Hod?
