Chapter 845 Achieve The Goal With Little Effort

Qian Zhuo was taken aback. The Emperor was asking who told the Empress Hua about the Imperial Astronomer, but Empress Hua answered another thing. She said that Lady Shu had come to the Weiyang Palace.

What Empress Hua said was a fact, but she spoke it out when Xia Huanyu asked that question, which was a little subtle. In this way, it seemed that she was telling Xia Huanyu that it was Lady Shu who mentioned the matter of the Imperial Astronomer in front of Empress Hua.

As expected, Xia Huanyu's face darkened. After a long time, he concealed the displeasure in his eyes and said indifferently, "It seems that the guards at the gate of Weiyang Palace haven't done their job well. Liu Wenan, pull them down and flog everyone thirty times."

However, the Empress only took the bowl, blew the soup in it, and then drank a spoonful of it. Then she turned to Lord Hua Guo and said in a softer voice, "I heard from Shang'er that mother is not in good health and always feels pain all over her body in cold and gloomy days. I have a prescription that I asked for in the State of Ning before, and it will be effective in a period of time. I have copied it. Father, please take it back to mother."

Lord Hua Guo responded in a hurry, with tears in his eyes.

However, Xia Huanyu frowned and said, "You also had this disease before? Are you feeling better now?"

"I've taken medicines for many years and it's not that serious now. I had the disease more than 20 years ago. I don't know what caused it." Empress Hua smiled as if she didn't care about it at all.

After the three of them finished their meal, Empress Hua asked Qian Zhuo to take out the prescription and handed it to Lord Hua Guo. Then Xia Huanyu left Weiyang Palace with Lord Hua Guo and returned to the Meeting Hall.

Before leaving, he turned around and said, "I've asked someone to prepare the dress for you for the Grand Ceremony. Later, the Shangyi Bureau will send it here. Have a try and see if it needs to be modified. If there is anything you don't like, just tell them."

the Empress answered softly. After Xia Huanyu left, she turned around and went back to her bedroom.

Perhaps it was because Lady Shu had disturbed Empress Hua in the morning, Empress Hua, who always took a nap in the afternoon, seemed to be completely sleepless today. She leaned against the couch, as if in a daze.

After a while, Qian Zhuo heard Empress Hua speak, as if asking her.

"I heard that the Crown Prince had a premature labor. I didn't ask her what caused that on the day I came back."

Hearing this, Qian Zhuo answered in a hurry, "It has something to do with the Su clan. After the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess returned, they noticed something usual in Jin City. After a careful investigation, they found that the Su clan seemed to have gathered all the gold and silver jewelry in the city, as well as the silver money in the bank. They had also kidnapped many people from the city, hidden them in the Palace and forced them to make weapons. Crown Prince came to the Palace to visit Lady Hui who was depressed after losing her baby and took it as an excuse to stay overnight in the

displeasure in his eyes.

When Lady Shu stepped into the main hall, she had already seen Xia Huanyu on the throne. She paused for a moment, and a hint of surprise flashed through her eyes.

However, before the surprise faded away from her eyes, she heard Xia Huanyu's indifferent voice. "Yesterday, I sent someone to inform all of you the greeting time. It should be 9 am. It is already a quarter past nine. Why did Lady Shu come in? Why don't you kneel at the door yourself?"

As soon as she finished speaking, everyone in the hall was shocked, and Lady Shu's face had already changed. She said in a pleading voice, "Your Majesty, I'm late because that the Shangyi Bureau sent the dress for the Empress for the Grand Ceremony to my palace this morning and I had to check it."

"Oh?" Hearing this, Xia Huanyu raised his eyebrows and said in a colder voice, "I remember clearly that yesterday I sent someone to order the servants of Shangyi bureau to send the dress to Weiyang Palace as soon as it is ready .Who is in charge of the Shangyi Bureau? Since he couldn't understand my words, you don't have to be in charge of the Shangyi Bureau anymore."

Lady Shu trembled again and her lips turned pale.

Xia Huanyu glanced at her face indifferently. "Before I left the palace, I just asked you to take in charge of the imperial household temporarily. Now that the Empress has returned to the Palace, why do you still hold the Empress's seal and refuse to return it? What do you want to do? Huh?"

Lady Shu suddenly knelt down and said in a trembling voice, "Your Majesty, after the Empress came back to the Palace, it was Your Majesty who personally ordered that no one was allowed to disturb the Empress as she was tired after the long trip. I didn't find a chance to see her, so I couldn't return the seal to her in person."

Just as Lady Shu finished her words, before Xia Huanyu could open his mouth, the voice of Empress Hua came faintly, "Lady Shu, you are so forgetful. I remember that you entered the bedroom of Weiyang Palace yesterday under the guise of bringing me white fungus soup..."
