Xiao Man looked at the Queen Mother, then at Qian Jiujiu and Mu Yexiao, and suddenly said, "I heard that there is a stunning beauty in the harem, the most favored and respected Concubine Yan in the harem. Queen Mother, could you please ask her to come over and have a look?"
Everyone was stunned, but when Qian Jiujiu and Mu Yexiao heard Xiaoman's words, they understood that she was the only one in the harem who was respected. This meant that she knew about Young Master Wang's affairs. No wonder she rushed to the palace so quickly.
The Queen Mother was confused: "Is Imperial Concubine Yan so famous now? Then go and call Imperial Concubine Yan."
Eunuch Quan went to invite someone. The Queen Mother only understood at this time why Qian Jiujiu said that just now. She was worried that she would be wronged in the harem. In an instant, she felt her heart was full of touch.
"But what do you mean by Imperial Concubine Yan being the only one in the harem? Why don't I quite understand what you said?"
Qian Jiujiu and Xiaoman looked at each other. It turned out that the Queen Mother and others didn't know about the message outside the palace. Qian Jiujiu smiled and said, "We met someone on the way back today. Isn't there something unexpected?"
Qian Jiujiu told the story again, and the Queen Mother looked angry: "The Wang family is really brave."
Just when she was about to lose her temper, she heard a palace servant come to report: "Empress Dowager, Imperial Concubine Yan is here."
The Queen Mother was fuming at this moment, and her tone was rather fierce: "Call her in, my Lord."
Imperial Concubine Yan was at the door. She was startled when she heard the Queen Mother's tone and touched her buttocks which were still a little painful: "Ran'er, other than the fact that I killed that turtle, I didn't make any mistakes, did I?"
Now she only has one maid named Ran'er by her side. Ning'er is still recovering from a beating and can't get out of bed. Ran'er thought for a moment before nodding: "Your Majesty didn't say anything. Could it be that the Queen Mother is still worried about the little turtle? But that matter is still under investigation."
No matter what, she had to go in. After taking a deep breath, Concubine Yan walked in. When she saw Qian Jiujiu was there, her eyes lit up: "Sister Jiuer, you are here too."
The joyful look in his eyes could not be faked. Qian Jiujiu just drank a sip of tea lightly and ignored Concubine Yan. It seemed that this guy was well protected after entering the palace. He still hadn't learned the rules of survival in the palace.
Concubine Yan was stunned when she saw Qian Jiujiu ignoring her. Then, looking at the empress dowager's murderous gaze, Concubine Yan finally realized that she had done something stupid again.
"Your Highness, I greet you. Is there anything you want me to do for you?"
The Queen Mother just snorted coldly: "Go kneel down beside me. I want to see who will rescue you today. Can you call me Ran'er?"
Ran'er was startled: "I, the servant Ran'er, pay my respects to the Empress Dowager."
The Queen Mother glanced at Ran'er and said, "It was you who went to report the news to the Emperor last time, so why don't you go again?"
Ran'er was very frightened. What did the Queen Mother mean by this? Did the King of Sides come back to complain? Was he going to punish his master? But that didn't make sense. Wasn't his master a friend of the King of Sides and his wife
The Queen Mother saw that Ran'er was still not leaving, and could not help but frowned: "It seems that what the people outside said is true. I am old now, and I can't even order a servant in Yuyang Palace around."
Ran Er frowned and looked at the Queen Mother: "I will go now, Queen Mother, please calm down."
As she spoke, she gave a look to Concubine Yan who was kneeling beside her, indicating to her that no matter what the empress dowager did today, she had only one word to say, and that was to endure.
Imperial Concubine Yan really didn't want to kneel down. She didn't know why this happened. She was called here, and she was asked to kneel down? And Sister Jiuer, why did she turn hostile
The more she thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt. Imperial Concubine Yan's eyes started to turn red. It was the first time Xiaoman had seen this Imperial Concubine Yan. She couldn't help but frown: "This Imperial Concubine Yan looks just average. When did the Emperor develop an eye disease?"
Phew, these words were really vicious. Qian Jiujiu couldn't help but laugh. Concubine Yan didn't expect that there was someone so courageous that dared to say such a thing about the emperor.
Qian Jiujiu felt that what happened next was not suitable for children to watch, so she looked at Ziyuan and said, "Ziyuan, take the prince and the princess to play with the eldest prince."
Shion nodded: "Yes."
The Queen Mother also realized at this time that it was not good to let the children see the darkness of the harem. After all, they were still young, so she looked at Aunt Zhang and said, "Aunt Zhang, you can go with us."
Nanny Zhang was one of the people who accompanied the Queen Mother out to play. She usually got along with Nanbeibei and loved the two children very much. Now that she had the opportunity to accompany them, she was very happy. She led a group of people to the Emperor's palace.
Not long after the group left, the emperor came over. When he saw Ran'er, the emperor was a little confused: "Why are you here again?"
Recently, some people around Concubine Yan have been coming to see him more frequently. The emperor's face is not very good, and Ran'er looks bitter. She doesn't want to come either, okay
"Your Majesty, it was the Empress Dowager who asked me to come and invite you. The Empress Dowager invited the Imperial Concubine over and she knelt directly in the main hall."
The emperor was stunned. What was his mother doing for no reason? She really thought he was not busy enough. He sighed and said, "Let's go."
When they got here and just entered, they heard laughter and joy. The emperor was still a little confused when he heard a familiar voice: "Sister, when the emperor comes, please check his eyes to see if you can cure his eye disease."
Qian Jiujiu blinked and nodded: "Okay, when the emperor comes, check his pulse."
The emperor wanted to turn around and leave. It turned out that these two women had entered the palace. Why did he feel a chill on his back? "The emperor has arrived."
Eunuch Su suddenly shouted that the emperor had arrived, blocking the emperor's way out. The emperor looked at Eunuch Su and said, "You are fine."
Looking at Eunuch Su, he was confused. Couldn't he call him? Or was the emperor tired of him? Didn't want him to call him? Did he want to replace him? The more he thought about it, the more he doubted himself.
Inside the hall, Qian Jiujiu and the others also heard the voice, and stood up collectively, watching the emperor come in, and saluted him: "Your Majesty."
The emperor gritted his teeth and said, "Everyone, get up. When did you come back? Tell me when each of you came back so that I can welcome you back."
The Queen Mother spoke at this time: "That's easy. I will have dinner here today. Go down and tell the imperial kitchen to prepare a table of delicious food to welcome Xiao'er and the others. You can stay too."
Qian Jiujiu, Mu Yexiao and the others naturally nodded in agreement: "Then I will ask Mother for dinner today. I am very happy to have dinner with Mother! By the way, my brother, I haven't seen you for a long time. I don't know how you are. How about I take your pulse?"
The emperor answered subconsciously: "I don't have any eye disease!"
Qian Jiujiu and Xiaoman looked at each other and then burst into laughter. Qian Jiujiu was amused: "You need to get an eye check to know whether you have an eye disease or not, don't you think so, mother?"
The Queen Mother said with a cold face: "That's right, Jiu'er is a miracle doctor, and you are taking advantage of her by examining your body. Why are you still making excuses?"
The emperor's mouth twitched, what else could he say? Divine doctor brother and sister, can't afford to offend! He obediently stretched out his hand and let Qian Jiujiu feel his pulse. After feeling his pulse, Qian Jiujiu found out: "Not bad, the emperor is in good health, and his martial arts are not bad. It seems that Xiang Ning has put in a lot of effort."
This is really Gu Xiangning's credit. In addition to helping the emperor manage various affairs and coming up with good ideas, he also regularly gives the emperor tonic pills. Of course, he also takes them himself. He uses a lot of brain power every day and needs to replenish it. After all, good health is the foundation of everything.
After hearing Qian Jiujiu's words, the emperor nodded proudly: "See, I really don't have any eye disease."
Imperial Concubine Yan was so angry. After the Emperor came, he didn't even look at her, but only cared about the three women in front of him. She couldn't help but lean her body, and quickly got up and said, "I didn't mean to do that. My feet are just numb."
Xiaoman raised her eyebrows. Oh, this is still a high-level green tea. She said her feet were numb, which proved that she had been kneeling for a long time. She glanced at the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, your beauty is tired! Why don't you convince her?"
The emperor was somewhat helpless. He knew that Xiaoman would definitely confront him because of Concubine Yan's matter. He would not be angry. Having experienced the days of being a fool, the emperor could see through people's hearts.
Now he is really devoted to the country, the people, and his wife and children, shouldering his responsibilities as an emperor, so he gives all his feelings to the queen. The others are really just acting.
The fact that Xiaoman was so angry with him showed that she did not treat him as an outsider, which made the emperor very happy. It was precisely because of this group of people that he did not feel lonely at the top and did not let the ambition caused by this huge force devour him.
All sorts of thoughts came to mind at this moment. The Emperor turned to look at the Queen Mother and said, "Mother, what happened again? Is it because of the turtle? Should we ask Imperial Concubine Yan to come over and kneel as punishment?"
The Queen Mother snorted coldly, "Letting her kneel down is still considered merciful on my part. Ask someone to find out what the people outside are saying. Is she the only one in the harem who is supreme? Then who am I? Who is the Queen? How can you be so confident?"
"They also let their family members do whatever they want under her name. This is simply outrageous. They bullied Jiuer. If I were to say so, all his clans would be killed."
Imperial Concubine Yan raised her head and looked at the Queen Mother: "Your Highness, I don't know what happened, but isn't it too severe to execute all nine clans?"
Mu Yexiao suddenly said, "Is it serious? I think it's okay."
Mu Yexiao rarely spoke, but when he spoke, he was sure of his fate. Imperial Concubine Yan's eyes widened with fear, and even the emperor was a little surprised: "What on earth happened?"
