Emperor Ling Hui did not tell Chu Mingxuan directly if he should send Bai Shining to the southern frontier. Instead, he asked in a low voice, "I heard that you've taken in eight concubines recently?"

Chu Mingxuan did not expect Emperor Ling Hui to care about his backyard. He was even more afraid that Emperor Ling Hui would realize that he was impotent. He was also afraid that Emperor Ling Hui would urge him to have a child. He broke out in cold sweat and lowered his head. "I have eight concubines, but they were all given to me by other people."

He had taken in these concubines firstly to hide from others and prove that he was very capable, and secondly, to win over the ministers in the court.

At this moment, when he met Emperor Ling Hui's deep eyes, he regretted it for a moment.

Emperor Ling Hui had not had any other children for so many years. Perhaps he had long understood that there was something wrong with his body and was counting on him to carry on the family line.

If he could not give birth to a son or daughter despite having so many concubines, it would definitely arouse Emperor Ling Hui's suspicion.

Chu Mingxuan's imagination ran wild to answer Emperor Ling Hui's question about why he had not had an heir for many years. He heard Emperor Ling Hui suddenly flare up. "Your mother is not feeling well. You're not worried at all, but you're only focused on playing with women. Look at you, you're not decent at all!"

Chu Mingxuan hurriedly knelt down with a plop. He wanted to refute that he had just been thinking for the Imperial Court and suggested sending Bai Shining to the border to persuade Bai Wutong to surrender. Emperor Ling Hui did not give him a chance to speak. "You're unfilial and dirty. Get lost. 1 want you to tidy yourself up!"

Chu Mingxuan was shocked. Could it be that Emperor Ling Hui already knew that Quan family had sent people to kill Chu Tianbao and Noble Consort Ling and deliberately punished him?

If he knew that he had sent someone to assassinate Noble Consort Ling and Chu Tianbao, but only punished him to go to the temple to reflect on his mistakes, it seemed that Emperor Linghui was not completely heartless to him.

Chu Mingxuan accepted the order respectfully. "I know my mistake. I will definitely reflect on myself in the temple and pray for Father and Mother, and bless the Ling Kingdom to be peaceful and prosperous."

Emperor Ling Hui waved his hand. "Get lost!"

Chu Mingxuan rolled away. Emperor Ling Hui sneered. "You're not my son after all, you coward."

Emperor Ling Hui thought for a moment, summoned Eunuch Fu, and threw him an imperial edict.

Eunuch Fu picked it up and walked out of the imperial study to open it. He was immediately stunned. Emperor Ling Hui had actually conferred the title to Consort Chu, and she was even the Imperial Noble Consort second only to the Empress.

Could it be that after Noble Consort Ling lost her favor, Consort Chu had regained her favor?

If she had regained his favor, why didn't Emperor Ling Hui bestow the Empress conferment or remove Consort Chu's ban? The gaze he threw at him when handing over the imperial edict was also so disgusted.

Eunuch Fu thought about it carefully. He still had to wait and see for the time being. If he hugged the wrong thigh and provoked Emperor Ling Hui, he would be finished.

He led everyone carefully into the Hanxiao Palace. When Granny Xu saw them, she immediately ran into the room and exclaimed, "Consort, Consort, Eunuch Fu has brought an imperial edict and court clothes!"
