At dusk, the Empress Dowager woke up from her drowsiness in a chaotic state.
Glancing at the sky outside, the queen mother was stunned for a while before she came back to her senses, "Ah Chen..."
After calling out, Nanny Chen, who was guarding outside, immediately turned around and walked in when she heard the voice, "Empress Dowager, are you awake?"
The Empress Dowager nodded, got up and changed clothes under the service of Nanny Chen, and walked slowly to the Nuan Pavilion to sit down, "Hey, why is it getting dark after sleeping casually? How long has Wan girl been gone?"
Nanny Chen smiled, "The princess has been away for more than two hours, I only left when you fell asleep."
The queen mother nodded gently, "I haven't seen Yan Ze enter the palace for the past two days, and I don't know what I'm doing."
Nanny Chen said, "I heard from Princess Yongning that day that Prince Yi's mansion was sculpting a golden Buddha, and the son offered an ever-burning lantern to Princess Yi at Fahua Temple outside the city. The Buddha gave Fahua Temple, and I have been busy with this these days, the son is filial, and I must want to do these things myself."
The Queen Mother nodded, "Yes, Yan Ze is very filial."
Nanny Chen made a cup of tea for the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother took a few sips and suddenly asked, "What day is it today?"
Nanny Chen laughed when she heard that, "It's the seventh day of the lunar new year, is the empress dowager waiting for the wedding of the princess?"
The queen mother nodded, and murmured, "It's the seventh day of the lunar new year...it's so fast..."
Nanny Chen put a thin blanket on the empress dowager's legs, "It's coming soon, this year is coming to an end, the first time I saw the princess was at the beginning of the year, I didn't expect the princess to be with you at that time. His Highness came together, it is extremely rare for the two of them to fall in love and get married."
The Empress Dowager had a gentle smile on her face, and then said slowly, "Has Zhen'er arrived in the Northern Wei Dynasty now?"
"It's here, the prince of the Northern Wei Dynasty is coming to the border to pick up the princess. I think he has already received someone. The prince of the Northern Wei Dynasty is also a good character. The life of the fifth princess will be easy in the future. Just don't worry..."
The queen mother smiled bitterly, "You know her temper, how can I rest assured?"
Nanny Chen sighed, "When I was in the boudoir, who was not a delicate girl? But after getting married, I know that I am not in my own family anymore, so I dare not be the same as before. The fifth princess is not stupid, don't you Worry about her, after the fifth princess arrives in the capital of the Northern Wei Dynasty in a few days, she will send us news."
The queen mother sighed and said nothing, but at this moment, a little maid came outside, poking her head at the door, apparently looking for Nanny Chen, when the queen mother saw it, she signaled, "Go, I guess there is something urgent. "
Chen Momo walked out quickly, and the little maid hurriedly said when she saw Chen Momo, "Mommy, something happened in Changxin Palace."
Nanny Chen frowned, and when the little maid finished speaking, Nanny Chen's complexion changed slightly, "Don't talk nonsense beforehand, it's fine if the emperor doesn't know, wait a minute, I'll take a few people over to see Look, let the imperial physician go to Changxin Palace to wait..."
Nanny Chen finished her instructions very quickly, the little maid turned around and left, Nanny Chen regained her composure before coming in again.
"What's the matter?" the Queen Mother asked when she heard footsteps.
Chen Momo smiled and said, "It's nothing. It is said that His Highness Jiu is making a fuss and doesn't want to sleep. The servant said that the servant will go and have a look later."
Mother Chen spoke calmly and calmly, but when the words were settled, the Empress Dowager smiled, "Except for Xiaojiu's sleepless nights when she first came to Shoukang Palace, she didn't sleep again after that. Girl Wan came here today. Most of them are practicing calligraphy, what is it?"
The smile on Chen Momo's face was a little unsteady, she hesitated for a moment and said, "It's Changxin Palace, the noble concubine went crazy due to a serious illness, and injured a court lady, and she herself was slightly injured. A few people didn't know that they were discussing the matter, and the people below came to us."
The queen mother frowned, "Crazy?! Seriously ill and crazy? Didn't King Cheng hire someone to do it before? Now you're making trouble again?"
Nanny Chen shook her head, "I don't know the specific servant, so don't worry about it, the servant will go and have a look."
The Empress Dowager frowned more and more, "What's the matter with everyone? Li Palace, Li Palace? Crazy, crazy!"
It's okay if you don't say anything, the more you say this, the more disturbed the queen mother is, she pursed her lips slightly and said, "Prepare the sedan chair, I'll go and have a look."
Nanny Chen hurriedly said, "It's too cold outside, you still wait here, don't you feel relieved when this servant goes to see you?"
The queen mother shook her head, "These things are too weird. When the queen was here, I didn't care about the affairs of the inner palace. I thought the queen's mother was in the world, and the harem was well organized. I didn't expect the queen to do something stupid first. Now Feng The imperial concubine is like this, how can I not blame her?"
Mother Chen still wanted to say, but the queen mother waved her hand, "Stop talking, get ready to go."
Nanny Chen sighed, "Hey, that's good, the servant girl will go get ready now."
The sedan chair will be ready sooner, and Madam Chen will dress the queen mother on the third inner layer and the outer third layer, and then help her into the sedan chair, and walk slowly all the way. When they arrived at Changxin Palace, they saw the The palace people knelt down together, each with fear written on their faces.
The sedan chair stopped in front of the main hall, and all the palace people prostrated again. Nanny Chen helped the queen mother down, glanced at a maidservant with a familiar face, "What's your name? You look familiar, what's going on?" Come forward and talk back... "
The servant girl got up in fear, walked up to the queen mother and said, "My servant Baoyue is a first-class maid of Changxin Palace. The imperial concubine is getting more and more ill these days. She always has nightmares and can't sleep. It's useless to drink soup all the time. These days, she was talking nonsense. The imperial concubine always wanted to see King Cheng, saying that she was afraid that King Cheng would suffer disaster or something, but Sister Baodie was the chief maid in charge of Changxin Palace... She was ordered by His Highness King Cheng, and there was no transmission. , and coaxed the imperial concubine to say that His Royal Highness Cheng Wang was too busy. Tonight, the imperial concubine suddenly became furious, picked up the sword that the emperor gave to the empress and stabbed Baodie..."
Nanny Chen's complexion changed slightly, "Where's Baodie? Where's the imperial concubine?"
Baoyue hurriedly knelt down and said, "Bao Die... has died, the appearance of the imperial concubine and empress is too scary just now, slave... the slave has no choice but to throw the empress down with a quilt and temporarily tie her to the bed together with a few nuns Yes, the slave is guilty, please ask the Queen Mother to punish the slave."
The Empress Dowager stared intently at the pool of blood in the center of the main hall of Changxin Palace that she hadn't come to remember to clean up. The blood was in pieces and stretched from the direction of the inner room. He came out, and finally fell down in the center of the main hall.
The queen mother didn't speak, but she held the hand holding Nanny Chen very tightly, and said slowly for a moment, "You've done a good job, lead the way, Aijia went to see your master..."
