"Yes, mother."
Knowing that the little thing was shy, Emperor Shitian stopped teasing it.
He reached out and straightened the little crown that was tilted due to shyness, then walked to the side of the Queen Mother.
"Okay, okay, mother is old and useless. I have been traveling all night and am exhausted. I want to rest for a while. Mother knows that I am busy with government affairs today. You and Ling'er should go back today. When mother has rested well in the evening, you can come and have dinner with her."
The Queen Mother smiled kindly from beginning to end, and never asked a single question about the Queen of Beasts.
Emperor Shi Tian nodded slightly and said, "Then I will withdraw first."
"Squeak, squeak, squeak" Mother, Ling'er is leaving too, you must remember to miss the Yin family.
A certain beast looked up, stretched out a paw and waved goodbye.
Then Di Shitian turned around, holding the little thing in his arms, and disappeared in the warm sun.
With the sound of sparse footsteps, everyone left one after another.
The Ningshou Palace, which was bustling just now, has once again returned to its former desolate state.
The corners of Mei Gu's mouth curled up, and she didn't turn around until she couldn't see Di Shi Tian for a long time, then she turned around and went to her master.
It's natural to reach out and support.
"Empress Dowager, I will help you go to the side hall to rest."
Although the Queen Mother is in good health, she is old after all.
After a long journey all night, it would be strange if you weren't tired.
Upon hearing this, the Queen Mother turned around with a smile, glanced at Mei Gu, and then nodded.
"Let's go."
Side Hall
The hollow mahogany door is carved with complex and elegant patterns, exuding a refined and graceful temperament.
In the center of the hall stands an exquisite triangular table covered with the finest brocade, with a set of exquisite tea sets quietly placed on it. Next to it stands a unique incense burner.
The subtle orchid fragrance can lull people to sleep.
Mei Gu helped the empress dowager lie down on the soft mahogany bed, pulled up the quilt and covered her with it.
"Queen, would you like to have some snacks before going to bed?"
Mei Gu felt a little worried when she thought about how the Queen Mother had lost her appetite and eaten very little in recent days because she missed the King.
"No need, I have no appetite. Please sit down and talk to me."
Mei Gu casually pulled a stool and sat next to the Queen Mother. When she raised her eyes, she met the Queen Mother's somewhat embarrassed expression.
She frowned and said, "Queen Mother, I had no appetite in the past few days because I missed the king. Now that you have returned to the palace and the king has seen you, you should be in a good mood. Why do you still have no appetite?"
The Queen Mother's smile receded like the tide, her brows were filled with mixed joy and sorrow, her expression was very complicated, and she did not answer Mei Gu's question.
"Queen Mother, I am actually a little confused about what happened today."
The Queen Mother raised her eyelids wearily, and a hint of clarity flashed in her eyes.
Having been with Aunt Mei for so many years, I naturally know her temper.
"You want to know why I treat Ling'er so calmly, right?"
The tone was calm, without the questioning tone that should have been there, just a simple statement of something that was already known.
Aunt Mei pursed her lips and nodded solemnly.
The Queen Mother was in too calm a mood today.
When facing that special queen, not only did he not become angry as common sense would have expected, but he did not even have a trace of doubt.
That calm and composed look made her wonder if the Queen Mother had known about the Queen for a long time.
But in Linghua Temple, she stayed by the Empress Dowager's side day and night, so if someone had tipped off the Empress Dowager, how could she not know
Therefore, she was very confused.
The Queen Mother avoided the subject, smiled, took out a fortune stick from under her pillow, and handed it to Mei Gu.
"Take a look."
The yellow brocade has a fine texture, and it is the top-grade tribute satin.
Spreading it out in the palm of his hand, eight large golden characters "The Queen has arrived, the Emperor has returned" came into view.
"Queen, what is this?"
Right above the brocade, a black character "君" (Jun) stands out.
"Rule the world and decide the fate of the universe" is the symbol of the ancient clan with mysterious prophecy.
This symbol is rarely known except for those related to the Jun family and a few members of the royal family.
A mysterious surname with special prophetic abilities, good relations with various royal families, and a pivotal position in the Tianhe Continent.
But nineteen years ago, the entire Jun family died tragically overnight.
No one knew who did it, and the murderer did not leave any clues. After the crime, he burned the Jun family to ashes.
The Jun family tragedy caused a sensation at the time, but eventually became an unsolved case.
Since then, the surname Jun has become extinct.
The reason why she knew this was because of the Queen Mother.
In fact, the Queen Mother also had a twin sister named Lin Jingfei. Lin Jingfei was the wife of Jun Niansheng, the head of the Jun family at the time, and was also the mistress of the Jun family.
So, as soon as she saw the word "Jun", she knew that this was the prophecy of the Jun family.
"The strange queen has arrived, and the imperial star has returned to his position." Could it be that the current queen is the "strange queen" referred to in the fortune
Thinking of this, Mei Gu suddenly realized.
If this is true, then the Queen Mother's words and actions today can be explained.
I think this prophecy was given to the Queen Mother by the eldest daughter before she died. Only the eldest daughter, with her status as the mistress of the house, has the ability to get the emperor's prophecy.
There are several types of Junjia prophecy sticks, predicting good and bad luck, predicting fate, predicting marriage... but they do not predict the path to becoming an emperor.
The road to becoming an emperor is already one of death. If the prophecy is added, the death toll would probably be even higher.
Therefore, the emperor's signature is kept in the Jun family and is top secret.
"So that's how it is. The young lady is really thoughtful and even..." specially told you, the Queen Mother.
When the Queen Mother heard the word "Miss", there was a hint of avoidance in her eyes, as if she had some resistance that she didn't want to face.
Before Mei Gu could finish her words, she heard a violent cough.
"Ahem..."
The Queen Mother choked and coughed violently. Her face turned red and her facial features were distorted. She looked very uncomfortable.
Mei Gu panicked, stood up with a serious face, and hurriedly shouted outside: "Someone, bring some tea."
Then he reached behind the empress dowager, gently helped her up, and helped her to breathe smoothly.
It took me a long time to recover.
I heard the sound of soft footsteps and the rustling of clothes, and then a little palace maid in pink palace dress came in, holding a teapot in her hand, and knelt on the ground with her head lowered. (To be continued)
