Wang Chengen stood aside, looking at Emperor Chongzhen who was busy at his desk, with a bit of hesitation on his face. He wanted to step forward and say something, but he was afraid of delaying his own emperor.

After returning to the imperial court and returning to the inner court, apart from taking a hot bath, my prince stayed in Dongnuan Pavilion to deal with the memorials submitted by the inner court for almost more than an hour.

"Wang Banban, send someone to send all the memorials that I have read to the Secretary of Ceremonies." Emperor Chongzhen put down the ink pen in his hand, frowned and said: "Order the Secretary of Ceremonies to follow the other supervisors and send these things that I have commented on.

, make corrections one by one, and I will summon them tomorrow."

"This slave takes the order."

When Wang Chengen heard this, his heart tightened, and he immediately raised his hands in response, and then signaled with his eyes to the eunuchs waiting in the palace to send these reviewed memorials to the Supervisor of Ceremonies as soon as possible.

It seems that there are many things done by the inner court that the emperor is not satisfied with.

Wang Chengen, who was sorting out the memorials next to the Dragon Case, secretly thought that if the outer court was uneasy, the inner court would not be peaceful either.

"Wang Banban, please select a group of eunuchs who know everything from the inner study hall as soon as possible."

Emperor Chongzhen picked up the tea cup at hand, took a sip, and said with a slight frown: "In the future, as long as they come to take turns in Dongnuan Pavilion, other people will not be allowed in or out. Do you understand what to do?"

"My slave understands."

As the important place of Qianqing Palace and the place where he lives every day, Emperor Chongzhen did not want eunuchs who did not know the details to bring out a few words here, which would be detrimental to his future layout.

Especially during this period, he wanted to carry out a deep purge of the inner court, especially when it came to the Imperial Village. Those attached family thieves must be thoroughly and resolutely eliminated.

"What time is it now?"

After thinking clearly about the next plan, Emperor Chongzhen relaxed his tension and looked at Wang Chengen and said.

"It's already past the hour when I return to your Majesty." Wang Cheng'en bowed slightly and said, "Your Majesty, the Queen sent someone to deliver a message at the time of application. She said that in Kunning Palace... she had prepared royal meals for the Emperor, and her servants..."

Queen Zhou?

After hearing what Wang Chengen said, Emperor Chongzhen was stunned for a moment, his eyes narrowed slightly, and the face of Queen Zhou emerged in his mind. Since he came here, after knowing the situation he was in, he has never been to the harem, and even 'he

'My beloved Queen Zhou has never been to see her.

At that time, the family was about to be penetrated by Jianlu, so there was no time to think about the love between children.

But it is different now. The crisis of the Ming Dynasty has been temporarily relieved. It will be unjustifiable if the harem is not left, not to mention that Queen Zhou is still pregnant at this time.

"Go to Kunning Palace."

Emperor Chongzhen stood up and walked outside Dongnuan Pavilion. Seeing this, Wang Chengen hurriedly followed him and arranged for the eunuchs outside the palace to prepare dragon chariots and drive them to Kunning Palace.

It is said that in the second year of Chongzhen, the Jianlu invaders invaded the Ming Dynasty. In addition to causing great harm to the Ming Dynasty, they also caused considerable harm to Queen Zhou.

She was pregnant at that time, and the Ming Dynasty was in a situation of constant defeat. This inevitably led to her premature birth, and her second son, Zhu Cixuan, died not long after.

Emperor Chongzhen, who was sitting on the dragon chariot, seemed a little restless at this time. How should I put it, he was a foreigner after all. He had not returned to the harem before, and he was also a little worried about whether his actions would be different from the original owner.

But we still have to face what we have to face. We can't say that we will never return to the harem for the rest of our lives, especially if we don't see Empress Zhou. That would be unreasonable.

Emperor Chongzhen knew the Queen Zhou well. She was self-denial, diligent and thrifty, did not ask for anything from her natal family, knew etiquette, understood justice, and silently supported her husband with actions.

It is true that the people of this Zhou family, especially the patriarch Jiadingbo Zhou Kui...

"Your Majesty, Kunning Palace is coming soon." Wang Chengen, who was accompanying him, reminded in a low voice: "Do you want me to send someone to inform the Queen first..."

"No need." Emperor Chongzhen waved his hand and said, "The queen is pregnant. Don't disturb her. Just go over."

At this time, Emperor Chongzhen had completed his psychological construction. After all, he was the emperor of tomorrow now, and everything he accepted had to be accepted as it was.

After arriving at Kunning Palace, Emperor Chongzhen headed towards the palace where Queen Zhou was staying. On the way, the eunuchs and maids were all polite.

"Queen, please take care of your body. Let your servants make these clothes. If you want to wait for the emperor to come, don't dare to work too hard."

"It's okay. I made some clothes for the child in my belly, which is what a mother should do..."

Emperor Chongzhen, who came outside the palace, couldn't help but froze for a moment when he heard the voice coming from inside. The gentle voice shocked his heart, and the touch coming from the depths of his blood caused his hanging hand to tremble slightly.

.

Emperor Chongzhen calmed down, with a smile on his face, he walked into the palace, saw Empress Zhou, and said, "Yu'er, how are you doing lately?"

"Your Majesty~"

Queen Zhou, who was sitting there, trembled when she heard the familiar voice, and the coat she held in her hand fell off. She turned around subconsciously and said with a slight trembling.

"Yu'er, don't move."

Seeing the emotional Queen Zhou standing up and preparing to walk towards him quickly, Emperor Chongzhen hurriedly stretched out his hand and said: "You are pregnant, don't be alarmed."

Queen Zhou, who was reminded, came to her senses at this time, touching her belly with her right hand, her eyes were red, and she stood there with a complicated mood.

The man in front of him was darkened and thin. It was clear that the country was in danger, but he kept it from himself for fear of worrying himself.

"Yu'er, there is some unrest in the country during this period. I am busy dealing with government affairs, so I haven't returned to the harem to see you."

Emperor Chongzhen walked forward with a smile, took Empress Zhou into his arms, and said softly: "It's okay now. Don't blame me in your heart."

Seeing this scene, Wang Chengen and others bowed their heads and exited the palace.

"The emperor is busy with government affairs, how can I blame the emperor?"

Empress Zhou, who was a little emotional, started sobbing uncontrollably, "Your Majesty, if you encounter trouble in the future, don't bear it alone. I feel sorry for you..."

"Ha ha…"

Listening to what Empress Zhou said, Emperor Chongzhen laughed, caressed his woman's hair, and said, "I know, I will tell you if anything goes wrong in the future."

"Your Majesty, you must be hungry." Empress Zhou raised her head, her eyes slightly red, and said, "I have prepared royal meals for you, all of which you like to eat..."

Listening to what Queen Zhou said, at this moment, Emperor Chongzhen felt that his empty heart seemed to have a home. In this ruined Ming Dynasty, in his own backyard, there was a woman who cared about him.
