"Meet the Queen Mother."
Bai Su stood by the door and gave a perfunctory greeting.
If it were in modern times, she would definitely be extremely polite to Duan Changchuan's family. After all, they had raised a son of such a big age, and he had been completely marked by her, so he would completely belong to her from now on.
But this "family"... hehe.
no need.
The Queen Mother probably didn't expect a queen to be so rude, and her expression changed immediately.
"Has no one taught you how to behave? Look at yourself. You don't have the manners of a queen at all. Bian Zhi, go back and tell Aunt Li to come over and teach her the etiquette of a queen."
After saying that, he didn't even look at Bai Su and walked straight into the door.
Changle, who was standing next to him, knelt down with a plop: "Empress Dowager, this is against the rules..."
"What a dog slave, how dare you talk to me about rules!" The Queen Mother looked down with contempt and said, "Bian Zhi, slap him in the face!"
What she said was so matter-of-fact that even Bian Zhi, who was being ordered, hesitated.
Even though she was a powerful maid, she didn't dare to hit the eunuch! He was a popular figure around the emperor!
Bian Zhi hesitated and made Bai Su laugh out of anger.
She raised her arm and stopped the queen mother outside the door. She looked at the person opposite with her narrow eyes and raised a scornful smile at the corner of her lips: "Even if I don't know the rules, I still know the hierarchy. I'm not like some people who don't even know who is in charge of the whole Datong. Before you slap someone, don't you know who you are hitting? I'm going to say this first. If you dare to touch Changle, I will tear her to pieces."
"You! You are so arrogant!"
"Then you try. I've already told you that His Majesty is recuperating and shouldn't see anyone right now, yet you're still arguing with me. As a mother, it's really eye-opening for you to be able to do this. As a mother, you don't act like a mother, and you don't know how to respect others. You still want to teach others the rules? Let that Aunt Li teach you first. I have His Majesty to teach you, so I don't need to bother your mother-in-law."
"you… !"
The Queen Mother covered her chest with her hands and was so angry that she almost fell down.
But she couldn't force her way in. If it were a normal day, Changle wouldn't be able to stop her and she would just go in directly.
But now Bai Su was standing at the door, as if she would fight with her if she took just one step inside.
If she insisted on breaking in, the crime she would be charged with would be extremely serious, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that she was forcing the emperor to abdicate. How could she dare to act rashly
So... the two sides were at a stalemate, and neither of them would give in.
Just waste time like this.
…
"My dear, are you just going to let this woman stop me outside? I have pity on my efforts... My dear!"
The Queen Mother and Bai Su confronted each other outside the palace for a long time, but Duan Changchuan didn't say a word. Finally, they couldn't help but stick their heads inside and shout.
Bai Su: …
Are you resorting to moral blackmail just because you can't win an open fight
The Queen Mother opposite her became more and more serious. She raised her hand with ten-centimeter-long nails, wiped the dry corners of her eyes, and gradually became anxious: "My son, why don't you speak? My son? My son, what's wrong with you?"
It seemed as if he was really worried about Duan Changchuan.
After being anxious for a while, he angrily asked Bai Su and Chang Le, "What did you do to His Majesty? Come here! The Queen is trying to murder the Emperor. Capture her for me!"
Bai Su narrowed her eyes slightly: What a good way of putting the blame on someone else.
It turned out that he was waiting for her here.
The guards standing in a row before the emperor, upon hearing the empress dowager's order, all stepped forward at the same time, but then they looked at each other with flickering eyes and did not dare to take the next step.
"What are you all standing there for? The Queen is trying to murder the Emperor and has stopped me from entering the palace to investigate. Now, I'm ordering the imperial guards to arrest her! Don't you even listen to me? How can a Queen who has only been in the palace for less than three months make you forget who is the owner of this big tree?"
Seeing that none of the guards dared to move, the Queen Mother urged them loudly.
Just when all parties were in a stalemate and no one dared to act rashly, a low cough suddenly came from the inner hall.
Then, the boy's calm voice reached everyone's ears.
"Empress, please ask Mother and Imperial Physician Zhao to come in... Don't let Mother feel disappointed."
With just one sentence, Bai Su could hear the Omega's suppressed weakness.
[Grass…]
She hurried back to the inner hall, only to find that the boy had dressed without her noticing and was sitting upright at the table. His face was as pale as paper, but he was still saying to her with his lips: "Don't worry."
Suddenly, my eyes became hot.
Her boy, who was clearly in so much pain that he couldn't even speak, tried to comfort her instead.
And the instigator had already come in with a grand ceremony and a haughty attitude.
The elegant and noble lady first looked around, then sat on the couch by the window and began to lecture: "My son, even if you pamper the queen, you should know your limits. You have only been pampering her for a few days, and you dare to ride on my head. What will happen in the future?"
The young man in casual clothes raised his eyelids and looked at her, and said coldly: "Didn't my mother order Doctor Zhao to come and treat me? The sooner the diagnosis is over, the sooner I can rest."
"Yes, yes. I was afraid that Doctor Fang's apprentice would make a wrong diagnosis, so I specially summoned Doctor Zhao. Doctor Zhao has been an imperial physician for many years, and I trust him." The Queen Mother said, waving to the old doctor beside her: "Doctor Zhao, please go and take a look at His Majesty. What is the disease? I heard that he has been treated for quite some time, and his health should be getting better and better. Why did he suddenly become like this today? Oh... I heard in Fengxi Palace that His Majesty suddenly had a seizure during the morning court session and was carried back. I am so sad..."
As he spoke, he raised his hand and began to wipe his "tears".
Her maid hurried forward, patted her back and consoled her: "Your Majesty is kind, Your Majesty will be fine."
What a one-man show of "loving mother and filial son".
-
On the other side, Duan Changchuan had already placed his wrist on the pulse pillow, quietly watching the old imperial physician taking his pulse.
I watched helplessly as the color drained from his face and he trembled like a sieve...
He opened his thin lips and asked word by word, "I had abdominal pain and bleeding today. Yusheng just used a set of acupuncture to stop the bleeding. I wonder what the imperial physician thinks. Is this treatment method right or wrong?"
It was an ordinary question, and his gaze was as calm as a body of water without ripples... But the person being questioned knelt down with a plop.
His forehead almost cracked the jade floor.
"I... I am not well-trained! I have not diagnosed anything... I... I am incompetent! Please punish me, Your Majesty!"
The elegant woman who was sitting on the couch waiting for the result suddenly sat up straight, in disbelief: "Nothing was found? You mean, Your Majesty..."
He stopped talking halfway through.
The young man in bright yellow looked at the man lying on the ground with a calm gaze, "There is no symptom. Doctor Zhao is saying that I am just pretending?"
"Your Majesty... I have absolutely no such intention! This is my fault, all my fault! My medical skills are not good enough, and I have no intention of serving in the Imperial Hospital any longer. I beg Your Majesty to allow me to retire and return home..."
The old man's entire body was shaking, he almost collapsed to the ground, and every word he spoke was trembling.
Duan Changchuan just looked at him quietly without saying a word.
"Your Majesty... Please, Your Majesty, for the sake of my having served the late Emperor and the Empress Dowager for so many years... Please, Your Majesty..."
The young man then closed his eyes and uttered one word with all his strength: "Yes."
The old man quickly got up from the ground and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, be merciful!"
The queen didn't even dare to look at the empress dowager. She bowed her body and quickly walked out of the palace.
After Doctor Zhao left, Duan Changchuan looked up at the woman sitting opposite him, and a sarcastic smile appeared on his lips: "This is the person that my mother trusts... At the critical moment, she just chose to protect herself."
"What's the meaning?"
She asked.
But Duan Changchuan did not answer. He just glanced at Changle calmly and ordered: "Send the Queen Mother back. I am tired."
Then he closed his eyes quietly.
His complexion became paler than before...
Her eyelashes kept trembling along with her eyelids, like a fragile glass doll.
The Queen Mother opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end she only said, "My son, have a good rest," and then she got up and left.
Bai Su originally wanted to follow him out, but the moment she took a step, the corner of her clothes was secretly grabbed.
Turning back, she saw that the boy's eyes were still closed, but two fingers of his right hand were gently raised and hooked on the hem of her clothes.
Without caring about the three people behind him who had not yet left the house, he walked straight past the boy's knees and gently picked him up.
The door to see off the guests creaked shut and the young man could no longer suppress a soft moan.
Bai Su held the person's hand and tightened it unconsciously.
My whole chest feels stuffy and painful.
She was not strong enough. She could not do anything in this deep palace with no connections. She could only watch her Omega being bullied outside...
I was born with a silver spoon in my mouth and grew up with everything going smoothly. My family background and pheromones all make me a top-notch Alpha. But for the first time, I really feel "cowardly"!
She even wanted to punch herself twice.
"Bai Su... are you angry with me?"
Just as I was feeling sorry for myself, I suddenly heard a nervous and weak voice in my ear.
She lowered her head and saw the young man lying on the bed, his beautiful amber eyes looking straight at her.
The nervousness could not be concealed in the clear eyes.
"I... I am considered good. Doctor Zhao dare not say it, and the Queen Mother can send him away... I am not being stubborn."
Bai Su... When she woke up from a strange world, she didn't panic.
There were two bloody wounds on my wrists, but I didn't feel any pain.
Even when he lost his Omega and thought he was going to die due to pheromone disorder, he faced it calmly.
Only today.
Seeing the Omega with a big belly, who had just experienced a threatened miscarriage and didn't know whether she had saved the baby, looking at her seriously with a pair of eyes, and explaining to her nervously...
Unspeakable pain surged from my chest...
It rushed straight up to my eyes.
Warm tears dripped onto the Omega's neck.
The young man was startled.
Then a cool, soft hand gently stroked her cheek.
"Bai Su... you, don't cry. Don't cry... okay..."
As he spoke, his tears could not stop flowing.
Alpha gently held the hand, placed it to his lips, and gave it a gentle kiss.
“Be good, I won’t cry… Baby, don’t cry either,” she said.
"It's all my fault. I'm not a good Alpha. I can't protect you and the baby..."
"Wait a little longer, baby. Wait a little longer for me."
[When I become stronger, I will help you take over Datong. ]
