"Yes." Si Luo walked in, "Mr. Yasukuni, please."
Xiao Yan's complexion was a little ugly.
That brat, Gu Heng, is really a wolf.
"Your Majesty, I haven't seen the Empress Dowager for a long time. Before leaving the palace, I hope I can see the Empress Dowager again." He said suddenly.
Gu Heng glanced at him, and refused without hesitation, "The Empress Dowager is unwell and cannot be disturbed. The next time the Empress Dowager recovers, Duke Yasukuni will come to the palace to see her."
Xiao Yan had expected that he would refuse, so it was not too surprising.
"The minister is retiring." He said, raising his hand and wrapping it around Si Luo's shoulder, "Deputy Commander Si, let's go."
Si Luo waved his hand away and said calmly, "Duke Yasukuni please first."
Xiao Yan shrugged his shoulders and left the imperial study room first.
Afterwards, Si Luo took people and "escorted" him out of the palace.
At this moment in Jingci Palace, Atuo Jianghua hugged the little prince and followed the palace staff into the main hall.
She kept thinking about what Xiao Yan said, so she deliberately came here with the little prince in her arms, making people think that she wanted to use the little prince to get close to the empress dowager.
Before entering the main hall, she asked the nanny to wait outside, and walked in alone with the little prince in her arms.
I haven't seen you for a few days, the spirit of the Empress Dowager seems to have deteriorated a lot.
Seeing Atuo Jianghua, his heart sank.
"How is the empress dowager's body now?" She hugged the child and asked two steps forward.
"Ai's family is fine." Seeing her, the Empress Dowager calmed down, saw the baby in her arms, paused, and asked, "This child is..."
"This is the prince Liu Jieyu gave birth to a few days ago, and the emperor recorded him in my name." A Tuo Jiang Hua explained.
The Empress Dowager waved her hands when she heard the words, "Hold me here and let Ai's family take a look."
"Yes." Atuo Jianghua hurriedly carried the child over to show her.
Babies who are still in their swaddling arms are ignorant of everything and sleep soundly.
The Empress Dowager showed a kind smile, "Look at this child, how well he slept."
"Indeed, this child is very well-behaved and doesn't cry much, which makes people... very distressed." A Tuo Jiang Hua sighed softly.
She didn't want to take this trouble at first, but after taking care of her for a few days, she found that this child was really good, which made people feel distressed. I don't know if he felt his situation
The Empress Dowager heard the strangeness in her tone and asked, "What's wrong?"
A Tuo Jiang Hua said: "This child is not a full-term baby, his biological mother... is gone."
The Empress Dowager was stunned for a moment, thinking of Wen Ruyi's cautious and scheming face, she sighed faintly, "It's really a poor baby." As she spoke, she stretched out her hand, "Let the Ai family hug me."
Atuo Jianghua carried the child to her as promised.
"Can this child be named?" The Empress Dowager asked softly after taking the child on her lap.
A Tuo Jiang Hua shook his head, "Maybe the emperor is too busy to name the child yet."
The Empress Dowager paused, and said kindly: "Before he was born, his biological mother often came here, so the Ai family and this child are also predestined. In this case, the Ai family will give him a name."
Atuo Jianghua knew the empress dowager's purpose for Wen Ruyi's visit to the Jingci Palace, in fact, she was like a bright mirror, but she knew her purpose was not pure, but she was still so calm, she couldn't help but sigh the old man's broad mind.
"It would be his blessing if the Empress Dowager can name this child." She said sincerely.
It is a matter of supreme honor to be named by the Empress Dowager herself. In the future, in this palace, even if the child has no biological mother, no one would dare to despise and bully him.
The Empress Dowager shook her head, "His biological mother is also poor..." She thought that after finishing her errands, she would be able to jump on a branch, but unexpectedly, she would end up in a tragic death. She sighed secretly, and said kindly, "Just call him Siyuan, drink water as Siyuan, Gu Siyuan."
Atuo Jianghua heard this, and immediately praised: "This name is very meaningful and nice."
The Empress Dowager smiled, "You feel good too?"
"Well, it's very nice." Atuo Jianghua nodded, said, took out something from his sleeve, and handed it to her, "Does the Empress Dowager recognize this thing?"
The Empress Dowager paused for a moment, and instead of answering directly, she asked, "Where did you get it?"
"It was given to me by Duke Yasukuni." Atuo Jianghua replied, "Duke Yasukuni said that the Empress Dowager will understand when she sees this thing."
The Empress Dowager looked at the jade pendant in her hand, she naturally recognized this jade pendant, this jade pendant was worn by Xiao Yan when she was born.
"What did Lord Jingguo tell you?" After a while, she asked.
"Mr. Yasukuni asked me to tell you that the emperor has not allowed him to enter the palace to see you during this period of time. Please cooperate with me when the time comes."
A Tuo Jiang Hua was talking, and hurriedly added, "He said that he received news a few days ago that Yan Yan is pregnant, and the child will be born in a few months."
Xiao Yan asked her to say this sentence. He actually didn't know whether Wen Rongjun was pregnant, but he knew that the Empress Dowager had a heart for Gu Linchao and Wen Rongjun, and he had long hoped that the two would have children as soon as possible. Yes, after learning about this, she took the opportunity to propose to go to Xiangzhou together, and she would definitely be tempted.
Sure enough, after hearing her words, the Empress Dowager had a happy expression on her face, "Really?"
"Really, absolutely true." A Tuo Jiang Hua said immediately.
The Empress Dowager's expression was full of excitement.
Are you pregnant? that is really good!
A Tuo Jiang Hua took the opportunity to say: "Don't the Empress Dowager want to go to Xiangzhou to see it with her own eyes? See your grandson's birth with her own eyes."
The Empress Dowager naturally thought that she had been looking forward to it for a long time, so the expression on her face was a little loose.
A Tuo Jiang Hua squatted down beside her legs, held her dull hand, and whispered: "As long as the Empress Dowager leaves the palace and goes to Xiangzhou, King Xiang will not have to worry about being restrained by others."
The Empress Dowager was stunned for a moment, then came back to her senses, looked down at her, with a hint of hesitation on her face.
Atuo Jianghua saw it, and quickly said: "The empress dowager doesn't have to worry about anything, Duke Yasukuni has made arrangements, as long as you follow me when the time comes."
Nanny Zeng had listened to the side for a long time, and at this moment she couldn't help persuading: "The Empress Dowager is only thinking about the prince and concubine, why don't you take this opportunity to visit them and have a family relationship with them? And Duke Jing is so Don't let the Empress Dowager live up to his wholehearted intentions."
When the empress dowager heard the words, she fell silent.
She knew that time was running out, if she continued to stay in this palace, she might not see Chao'er and Yung again.
Moreover, her grandson made it clear that he would not let Chao'er go, as long as she was in the palace, Chao'er would be threatened.
He was afraid that one day, Gu Heng would threaten Chao'er with her life.
Thinking of this level, she stopped worrying and nodded slightly.
Atuo Jianghua and Nanny Zeng were overjoyed.
"This is really great. If Lord Yasukuni knows, he will be very happy." Atuo Jianghua couldn't help but said.
The Empress Dowager looked at her kindly, "I've troubled you."
"I didn't do anything. Duke Yasukuni was the one who bothered." A Tuo Jiang Hua hurriedly said, she didn't dare to take credit for it.
At this time, the little prince who was sleeping in the empress dowager's arms woke up and cried softly.
