Chapter 1178: Empress Chen
The Crown Prince was still very grateful." Thank you, Granny Wang!"
A moment later, Granny Wang came out. She didn't say anything but shook her head at the Crown Prince. Then, she said," Your Your Highness, you can go back and come back tomorrow!"
However, this matter was indeed very urgent. The Crown Prince felt that it was not a bad idea to delay it until tomorrow.
He said to Granny Wang earnestly," Granny Wang, I really have something urgent to see mother. It can't be delayed until tomorrow." He looked around and found it very quiet. "It's about Father's safety!"
Hearing this, Granny Wang's expression changed. Then, she said with a serious expression," Alright, Your Highness. This old servant will inform the Empress again!"
After a while, Granny Wang walked out again and nodded at the Crown Prince." Your Highness, the Empress invites you in!"
"Thank you, Granny!" Then, he strode in with an anxious expression.
The moment she entered, she saw the luxurious Empress Chen reclining on the chaise longue. She looked at the crown prince and asked calmly," Nanny said that you had something urgent to discuss with me. It concerns your father's safety! What is it?"
The Crown Prince looked at the quiet surroundings and then walked to Empress Chen. He took out a piece of paper and handed it to Empress Chen, saying," Mother, just now, someone sent this to my palace."
The Empress took the note and read its contents. Her usually cold expression changed slightly, but she quickly regained her composure.
He looked at the Crown Prince and asked sharply," Someone sent it over? Do you know who?"
The Crown Prince shook his head." Mother, your son hasn't had the time to investigate and rushed here!"
When Empress Chen heard this, her expression turned cold. She then sternly reprimanded, "Crown Prince, you are too rash and careless. How can you trust a small piece of paper without checking the investigation?"
The Crown Prince was stunned. He immediately lowered his head and apologized," Mother, it's my fault!"
Actually, she was not wrong. He was too impulsive to believe the information on a piece of paper that came out of nowhere.
"It's just that your son is too worried about Imperial Father's safety, so…" The Crown Prince wanted to defend himself.
However, Empress Chen stopped him from continuing and then sternly reprimanded him, "As the Crown Prince of a country, you must be calm, steady, and rational in everything that happens. Even if you encounter a major event, you must be even more so! Only in this way could the officials of the imperial court feel at ease. You need to give the people a strong, calm, and rational ruler! You shouldn't act so impulsively whenever something happens!"
When the Crown Prince heard this, he immediately felt that he had been too impulsive.
He very seriously admitted his mistake to Empress Chen. "Mother is right! Your son was impulsive, and your son knows his mistake. This won't happen again!"
Empress Chen seemed to nod her head." Yes, since the Crown Prince knows his mistake, that's for the best! Then, Crown Prince, you may leave. I still need to rest for a while!"
The Crown Prince opened his mouth, but the last thing he said was," Yes, Mother. Chen 'er will take his leave!" He had wanted to ask how to deal with the matter on this note. However, when he thought about the lesson that Empress Chen had taught him, he didn't ask any further.
After the Crown Prince left, Empress Chen's body, which had been propped up, immediately softened, and her face turned pale.
When Granny Wang saw this, she immediately cried out in surprise and worry," Empress, what's wrong?" Then, she shouted to the outside, "Men, go and call…" Go and call the imperial doctor.
Empress Chen raised her hand to stop Granny Wang from calling for help. She shook her head and said," Nanny, there's no need to call the imperial physician. I'm fine!" As she spoke, she slowly sat up.
But looking at Empress Chen's pale face, Granny Wang was extremely worried.
She said," Your Highness, but you don't look too good!"
Empress Chen rubbed her dizzy forehead and said, "I'm fine!"
Looking at Empress Chen's stubborn appearance, Granny Wang did not insist on calling for the imperial physician. Instead, she asked, "Empress, what happened?"
Empress Chen showed the note to Granny Wang.
Upon seeing the contents of the note, Granny Wang said in shock," How could that be?"
Empress Chen said with a calm and fierce expression, "It seems that His Majesty has not seen anyone for a long time. Everyone has guessed that His Majesty has left the palace. Therefore, some of the ghosts and snakes are ready to make a move!"
