Chapter 1060 - Her Highness Cannot Take Such A ShockChapter 1060: Her Highness Cannot Take Such A Shock
The other officials were equally stunned when they heard what Xu Chen had to say.
Everyone could understand the reasoning for sending the Grand Duchess to the frontier as she was a renowned genius physician, but as for the Empress…
Everyone gave this consideration and came to the conclusion that Xu Chen might have made a mistake with his words, and they decided to overlook what he had just said.
It looked like the only thing they could do for now was to request for the highly-skilled Grand Duchess to make a trip to the frontier.
“Conditions are quite dire at the frontier. We would like to request His Majesty to send the Grand Duchess there as quickly as possible.” Some officials began to take the lead in the discussion.
Following that, many other officials voiced their agreement as well.
Long Yang frowned.
Weiwei was about to give birth. How could he send Ling Lihua to the frontier now?
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtEven though the Palace had many imperial physicians, none of them could compare to Ling Lihua in terms of medical prowess. On top of that, Ling Lihua was Weiwei’s mother. He felt much safer knowing she would be present during this critical time.
As the voices of the officials in the imperial court gradually got louder, Long Yang continued to delay his imperial edict. He merely instructed Chu Yi, “Lead him out for him to settle down first.”
“Yes, Your Majesty,” Chu Yi replied respectfully and promptly led Xu Chen outside.
Before Xu Chen left the room, he said, “The situation at the frontier cannot be delayed. Please make arrangements as soon as possible, Your Majesty.”
“That’s right, Your Majesty. Please announce your imperial edict as soon as possible.” The other officials chimed in as well.
…
Grand Phoenix Palace.
Recently, Lu Liangwei often slept late into the morning due to her pregnancy.
Today was the same.
However, she had already been awake for a fairly long time and Long Yang still had not returned for breakfast. She felt puzzled.
“Isn’t the imperial court off for the day?” Lu Liangwei looked at Zhu Yu.
Zhu Yu shook her head. “I have no idea either. Shall I head over and take a look?”
Lu Liangwei shook her head. “That’s not necessary. Let’s wait a little longer.”
Before long, Zhao Qian came hurrying in from outside. “Your Highness, Master has instructed me to tell you that there is no need to wait for him. Please enjoy your breakfast first. He will return a little later.” With that, Zhao Qian turned to leave.
Lu Liangwei was rather confused by this and quickly stopped him. “Butler Zhao, isn’t the imperial court done for the day?”
Zhao Qian remembered the tense atmosphere during the meeting with the officials in the imperial court earlier and broke out in cold sweat. He did not dare tell her the truth. He simply said, “His Majesty has something to discuss with the officials. Please have your breakfast first, Your Highness.”
Lu Liangwei was astonished. What exactly was His Majesty doing?
Ever since the day of their marriage, His Majesty had never been this busy. She had a hunch that something particularly must have occurred.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIt was quite obvious that His Majesty had specifically told Zhao Qian not to tell her about it.
At the thought of this, Lu Liangwei shot Chu Jiu a look.
Chu Jiu immediately understood and went to tail Zhao Qian.
However, Chu Jiu had barely stepped out of Grand Phoenix Palace when Zhao Qian blocked her way, having waited for her to appear. “Jiu, Her Highness is heavily pregnant right now and cannot take such a shock. Your responsibility is to keep her safe and you shouldn’t get involved with anything that doesn’t directly concern you. If you do, even I won’t be able to protect you if something happens to Her Highness.”
When Chu Jiu saw the grim look on Zhao Qian’s face, she could not help but hesitate slightly.
Something major must have happened at the imperial court today, but His Majesty did not want Her Highness to find out lest it caused her to worry.
“Go back. If Her Highness asks again, just say that robbers have been spotted running rampant in the North-West area. His Majesty and the officials are in a meeting to decide who to dispatch there to ensure the safety.”
Chu Jiu nodded. “I know what to do.”
Zhao Qian was relieved. “Alright. I’ll be leaving now.”
Chu Jiu watched him leave and she stood outside the gates for a long moment before finally returning to Grand Phoenix Palace.
When she saw Chu Jiu return, she asked, “Did something happen at the imperial court this morning?”
