Meng Li immediately asked sadly: "Why did he take my child away?"
Before Qiaozhu could answer, an announcement came from the door saying that the Queen Mother was coming.
"Quickly, let me tidy up. I want to get up to greet the Queen Mother." Meng Li said immediately.
"But Madam, you are too weak now. The imperial doctor said that you should not go to the ground." Qiaozhu said in embarrassment.
Meng Li: "It won't be a problem."
"Yun Yang, it doesn't have to be like this." The Queen Mother walked in quickly and went to Meng Li's bed to stop Meng Li who was about to get out of bed.
"Mother." Meng Li had tears in his eyes, looking very pitiful:
"Thank you, Queen Mother."
"You have just given birth. You must stay in bed to recuperate. Don't hurt your body or leave any problems." The Queen Mother reached out and patted Meng Li's shoulder gently.
Meng Li looked at the Queen Mother. She was nearly fifty years old, and there was a sense of majesty between her brows. At this moment, she was also looking at herself, with some kindness in her eyes.
Speaking of the relationship between the client and the Queen Mother, I cannot say that it is very good, but it is not too bad either.
The reason why the Queen Mother desperately wanted the client to be the Queen was because she hoped that the Emperor could gain more loyalty from the Dong family and that the Dong family would work harder.
To say that he really likes the client is not necessarily true.
Moreover, in the entire palace, there is indeed no one more suitable to be the queen than the client, regardless of character or family background, in every aspect.
"Queen Mother, have you seen my concubine's child?" Meng Li asked directly without greeting the Queen Mother.
She glanced behind the Queen Mother. If the Queen Mother had a reward, she should be followed by someone carrying something, but there was no such thing. In the plot, the Emperor told the Queen Mother not to reward her.
"Yes, the child is very good. You are our great hero." The queen mother also felt a little embarrassed when she saw Meng Li's eyes. Normally, she should bring something as a reward, but she came empty-handed.
It's quite chilling.
I don't know why the emperor would treat the concubine who gave birth to his children like this. If she were to be treated like this by the late emperor, she would probably vomit blood.
"Can I meet my concubine?" Meng Li's face was pale and tears fell from his eyes, which made the Queen Mother's heart twitch. At this moment, she really felt sorry for this child.
It is said that the emperor also plans to demote her as a concubine.
"Don't think so much first. Let's wait until you recover." The Queen Mother did not agree to Meng Li's request. She also knew that the Emperor would not let Concubine Dong Gui see her for the time being.
"Mother!" Meng Li seemed to collapse, and suddenly covered his face and started crying:
"I am pregnant with a baby for ten months, why can't I see her?"
"What did I do wrong?"
"Why does the emperor treat my concubine like this?"
She asked questions, but no one could answer. The queen mother felt that Meng Li's noise made her have a headache, so there was no use crying in front of her. To put it bluntly, she still failed to tie the emperor's heart.
If she had the ability, she would have become the queen long ago when she was in love. She tried her best, but she just couldn't succeed. But now it was hard to blame her for her incompetence, so she casually comforted Meng Li with a few words and said that she was the queen. Something happened, so he left in a hurry.
What can be done
It was pitiful to think about it, but there were poor people everywhere in the harem. She was lucky to have given birth to the emperor's eldest son, at least she had someone to rely on for the rest of her life.
On the way, the Queen Mother was thinking like this again.
She is most annoying when others cry.
Meng Li didn't know that the Queen Mother didn't like this, but now it seemed unreal and there was nothing she could do to cry.
After the Queen Mother left, Meng Li said to Qiaozhu:
"Hel me up, I want to see the emperor."
"I can't help it, my dear, you can't hold it in any longer." Qiaozhu knelt down and begged Meng Li again.
Meng Li tried to get up, but found it difficult to do so. Then he lay down again and said helplessly:
"That's all."
Seeing that Meng Li was about to close his eyes again, Qiaozhu said again:
"The doctor will be here soon."
Meng Li didn't answer. After a while, the imperial doctor came in to examine her, but she didn't say a word. In the next few days, she drank medicine when she needed it and practiced while resting.
Cultivation can make the body recover faster. She must go to the emperor's side as soon as possible. If she doesn't go, the imperial edict of downgrading will come.
In fact, the imperial edict for demotion to concubine was written after the emperor saw the prince, but it was never delivered due to various reasons.
Meng Li did not want to receive this imperial edict. Since he wanted to become a queen, it was natural for the imperial concubine to take the next step. If he returned to the imperial concubine position, he would have to find a way to get there.
Furthermore, returning to the concubine position means that the power to control palace affairs is no longer in her hands. The emperor can hand over the power to other concubines at will, and others will have a higher status than him. However, the concubine is the same as the deputy concubine. People, there is no queen now, and she is the only concubine, which shows that this position is very important.
On this day, Meng Li felt that she could go to the ground, so she persistently asked Qiaozhu to wash her up, put on makeup, and finally walked out of the house.
Qiaozhu felt that this was inappropriate, but she couldn't stop her if she insisted on going out.
Fortunately, the empress was wrapped up tightly and she could be driven over in a sedan chair, so it was not bad.
Meng Li also has her own sense of caution. She has practiced some spiritual power to protect her body, and she must be careful so that it will not have too much impact on her body.
After leaving the house, it was very quiet outside. Qiaozhu couldn't help but sigh:
"Mother, there is something I have never dared to tell you."
Meng Li looked at her indifferently: "Tell me, the emperor has never been here since I gave birth to my son. Is there anything more uncomfortable than this?"
Qiaozhu felt that the empress was suffering too much, so she hesitated for a moment and then said: "If the empress leaves this palace and meets other empresses, don't blame them for not coming to see you. It was the emperor who gave the order not to let them come to see you."
Meng Li smiled: "It doesn't matter."
"They can't go against the emperor's wishes."
"That's it." Qiaozhu nodded. Now that the empress has fallen out of favor, I wonder what the other concubines think. Do they take pleasure in her misfortune
But no one cares about the empress, and it cannot be said that the empress is not a good person. The whole problem lies with the emperor.
"Do you think the emperor will meet with me?" Meng Li asked, walking lightly.
"This..." Qiaozhu hesitated and couldn't continue.
Hard to say.
Your heart is unpredictable.
When Meng Li arrived at the emperor's palace, the father-in-law at the door was obviously very surprised, and he did not expect that Concubine Dong Gui could escape during confinement.
"This servant has paid his respects to the imperial concubine!" The older man was the celebrity next to the emperor. He bowed to Meng Li to pay his respects, and the other eunuchs also followed him.
"You're welcome, father-in-law. I am here because I have something to do and I have no choice but to ask to see the emperor. Please let me know." Meng Li's voice was very low, sounding a little out of his depth.
When the father-in-law heard this, he suddenly looked embarrassed. He said: "The emperor has important matters at this time. I may not be able to summon the empress immediately. It is better for the empress to return to the palace first. I will definitely report the matter to the emperor."
