"Convenient?" The woman curled her lips and looked at the old woman. "Isn't it because she has some relationship with you? She is also a younger generation in your clan?"
The old woman was so frightened that she fell to her knees with a plop: "My lady, I dare not!"
"I don't think you would dare!" The woman smiled and stretched out her hand to support him. "Madam Qiu, our affairs... have never been an easy road. What we seek... is just peace of mind."
The last few words were so faint that it was almost inaudible, but they made people feel scared.
"Empress." Nanny Qiu said in a sad voice, but she did not dare to stand up. She lowered her head to the ground and sobbed softly.
"Get up!" The woman smiled, and this time she reached out and pulled the old woman's sleeve, then said, "In this world, many people who should die are not dead, and many people who should not die are dead... What I have always wanted is peace of mind, but unfortunately... it has not worked for so many years."
"Your Majesty will get what you want." This time, Nanny Qiu did not dare to struggle. She quickly stood up, reached out to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes, and comforted her.
“Did you get what you wanted?” The woman smiled lightly, and reached out to press her chest. “I only hate that I don’t have the ability… I only hate that I don’t have the ability. If I could… I wouldn’t have waited until now. It’s a pity that I’m just a woman, I can’t do it myself, I can’t… for… I hate it so much!”
"Your Highness... the opportunity is coming... You have been waiting for such an opportunity for so long, haven't you?" the old woman whispered.
The woman was silent for a moment, then suddenly laughed, with an audible laugh, but her eyes were filled with coldness: "The Northern Frontier is here, and Empress Yuan's son is also going to come to the capital. This capital... is really going to be in chaos. They all should die... They all deserve to die, and they should all have died long ago."
The pale and pretty face looked almost hideous in the last few words.
The voice was not loud, but the old woman could sense the hatred in it.
She hated... How could she not hate... She wanted to destroy everything...
"You still have a young master." The old woman said hurriedly.
"He... is of no use!" The woman snorted coldly, extremely dissatisfied. "He has nothing and his health is so poor. He was asked to get married but he kept making excuses. He might even die someday."
These words were said extremely coldly, as if she was not talking about her own child, but rather someone standing in the corner as a bystander.
"My queen." The old woman cried out softly, she couldn't bear to see the woman in front of her say that. She had watched the young master grow up since he was a little girl. From that young age till now, he had always been a sickly person. The old woman felt really distressed for him.
"Okay, I get it. If he wasn't useful in the first place, why would I have given birth to him... I risked my life to give birth to such a useless sickly child. It would have been better not to have given birth to him. And now he doesn't even want to get married."
The woman said unhappily.
This child was not actually what she had been looking forward to at first, but he was the most useful at that time.
She didn't like this child. It was never this child that she liked, because this child didn't belong to the person she liked.
If that man hadn't died, if she hadn't had to enter the palace, if it wasn't for consolidating her status, if it weren't for... all these wrongs made her determined to give birth to this child.
But I didn't expect this to be a useless medicine jar...
Now not only is she useless, but she doesn't even want to get married. How can I be happy when I think about this
Seeing that she was upset and talking about her son, the nanny quickly changed the subject: "Madam, this... do you want the young master to comfort her?"
“He’s also useless. I arranged for him to get married with a wife to help him… but I didn’t expect it would ruin things. I was wrong in the beginning. I took great pains to accept him and even rewarded people around him for him. I didn’t expect that after so many years, he would become more and more useless.” The woman’s anger shifted from her son to another direction.
“Your Majesty…” The old woman didn’t know how to respond and could only look at him helplessly.
"Okay, let's leave it as it is for now, let... Hu Yan make the decision first. After all these years, he is still a fool. He really thought there was something between him and me. If I really had something with him, how could I enter the palace!" The woman taunted and shook her hand, "Forget it, let's not talk about it. I thought he was a useful person, but I didn't expect that he would ruin such a big thing."
Thinking of how much effort she had put into this, the woman was very angry. She calmed down her anger and said, "If he enters the palace, let him come. We must marry him. If something happens to him in the future, he can have children."
It was impossible for her to have another child, so she could only hope for the child born by her son.
It doesn't matter whether it's a daughter or a son. Although a daughter cannot compare to a son, it is better than having no offspring. If possible, she can also find a way to exchange for a son.
The prerequisite is to get married, and the person to be married is one's own niece.
Things that cannot be done in the palace are simple outside the palace. As long as you marry your niece, the child born will definitely be a "son", even if it is not.
The pale woman lowered her eyes, looking beautiful and quiet, but there was a hint of coldness in her eyes...
The Queen Mother sent a eunuch to visit Qu Moying, and on the other hand, it was also to deal with the matter of the wife of Duke Yuguo.
The eunuch sent here was not the same eunuch who came here originally.
After paying respects to Qu Moying in a proper manner, he asked about what happened that year. Qu Moying asked Nanny Zhou to come over and bring over the incident and all the evidence.
The eunuchs inquired very carefully. From Xiao Yue's situation at the time, the place where she was at the time, the swaddling clothes with peony patterns and the silver jewelry prepared for the child, all the items were the same as the information provided by Lady Yuguo...
"Princess Ying, the Queen's intention needs further verification. It may not happen so quickly." The eunuch said after reading it.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Qu Moying said softly.
She asked Nanny Zhou to pack it up and send it to the palace. Since the Empress was investigating it so seriously, she naturally had to cooperate.
This was originally a family matter, but now that it's being investigated by the Queen Mother it's like something big has happened.
Qu Moying was not afraid of the investigation. Facts were facts, and no one was deliberately falsifying information. A person with a clear conscience had nothing to fear. No matter how the Queen investigated, Qu Moying would just cooperate.
After what happened before, Her Majesty the Queen has no choice but to hurry up. There's no need to rush this matter.
Since the Eastern Palace is involved, the Queen Mother dare not argue about this matter anymore. What she is doing now is just superficial work. It is impossible for the Queen Mother to deal with the matter immediately when something happens in the Prince of England's Palace.
No matter how big the situation was before, we have to follow the rules now.
"The Queen also asked me to bring some pills. They were prepared by the palace's doctors for the princess' treatment. The Queen asked them to make them urgently." The eunuch said with a smile, his attitude extremely respectful.
Before leaving the palace, the Queen Mother repeatedly warned him not to cause trouble in the King of England's palace. If he did so again, no one would be able to protect him. Everyone knew that the King of England was very angry at this time. The people of the Qu family had repeatedly provoked the King of England, but there had not been a river of blood until now. This was also because nothing had really happened to the King of England's wife, and at least she was still alive.
Just for this reason, the Queen looked up to the British Princess.
The eunuch waved his hand, and the young eunuch who came with him handed over a brocade box. Yu Chun stepped forward to take it and placed the brocade box on the table in front of Qu Moying.
When the brocade box was opened, there were several identical glass bottles inside. Pills could be seen in the bottles, which were sealed.
Qu Moying had been called in by imperial physicians many times before to check on her health. Many of them knew that the Princess of England was extremely frail, and her body was probably in a state of disrepair almost as severe as that of the King of Wei.
You have to choose the best medicine and use the most tonic medicine. You can't be too good at it, but you can't be too bad at it either.
Not many pills were made, and it looked like each bottle was not completely full.
"The Queen Mother said to let Princess Ying slowly treat the disease. If it works, we can ask the imperial physician in the palace to prescribe the medicine next time."
The eunuch said again.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Qu Moying wanted to stand up and salute, but she was not feeling well, so she could only sit there reluctantly.
The eunuch hurriedly stopped him and said, "Princess, please don't be polite. The Queen knew that the princess had been severely punished again this time and was very angry. She originally wanted to punish the Qu family, but since it was the princess's family, the Queen thought that the princess should handle it herself. The Queen only said that even if it was the princess's family, the princess's status was too high for them to reach."
This means that the Queen supports Qu Moying.
Moreover, she clearly supported her and stood on Qu Moying's perspective, leaving the follow-up of the matter to her. If she was dissatisfied with the handling of the matter, she, the Princess of England, could still take action.
The Liu family was in a bad state because of what happened before. Qu Luqin, needless to say, was thrown into jail. Although several old ladies of the Qu family did not take direct action, the government also sent people to reprimand them.
But at least they didn't really attack the Qu family.
This matter depends on the attitude of the British royal palace. If the British royal palace refuses to stop, this matter will not be over.
"Let's just leave it at that!" Qu Moying sighed, "I may not have much contact with the Qu family in the future, but after all, it was the Qu family that raised me. Now that things have come to this, even if it's blood relationship, it's gone now. Well, I'll just repay the Qu family for raising me."
She was pale and had a bitter look on her face. She now knew her true life experience. To the Qu family or the Qu clan, she was now an outsider.
But even if she was an outsider, even if Qu Zhizhen never raised her seriously for a single day and left her to fend for herself, the reason she was able to survive in Yu's hands was entirely due to various reasons, but none of these reasons had anything to do with Qu Zhizhen.
As for the Qu family, they are even further away.
"Your Highness Princess is really kindhearted, and so is Your Highness Queen. You have let the Qu family go in this matter. From now on, whatever happens to the Qu family has nothing to do with Your Highness. When outsiders find out, they will say something good about Your Highness Princess. No one will care if the Qu family brings up Yang En again."
The eunuch came here on the Queen's orders, so of course he said whatever sounded nice...
