"Empress Dowager, what do you think is going on here?" In Shoukang Palace, Mother Chen looked at Yan Qi who was talking to the imperial physician not far away and asked in a low voice.
The queen mother sat on the low couch, but she didn't speak for a long time. Feng Lingsu's pitiful appearance was in front of her eyes, and all the words she said were cruel words. The queen mother didn't want to believe it, but there was a voice in her heart that counted those words I didn't take it to heart, but now I think of it, but it's quite weird details.
The more the Empress Dowager thought about it, the more she felt her mind was in a mess. She moved the corners of her mouth to ask Nanny Chen's question, but she couldn't utter a single word.
Yan Qi hadn't entered the palace for the past two days, and he really didn't expect Feng Lingsu's illness to reach this point. He felt guilty, but at the same time was afraid that the Queen Mother would be dissatisfied with him because of this matter. Naturally, he was extremely considerate and told the imperial doctor himself After a long while, I returned to the Queen Mother, "Grandmother, don't worry, the imperial doctor prescribed the prescription, and the mother and concubine will be fine after drinking the medicine. I asked you to make this trip at such a late hour, and my grandson will send you back—"
The Empress Dowager was indeed dissatisfied with Yan Qi, and her heart finally warmed up when she heard this, "Your concubine's current state is indeed a bit serious."
The queen mother said something, then said silently, "I'll send someone over to look after your mother and concubine, so that nothing will happen again."
Bao Die was stabbed to death by Feng Lingsu, this is something that Yan Qi didn't even think about, Feng Lingsu killed the palace maid for no reason, and the reputation probably won't be good, Yan Qi doesn't want another accident in Changxin Palace, Immediately nodded, "It's still the emperor's grandmother who thinks carefully, just according to your wishes."
The Queen Mother nodded, and turned to look at Nanny Chen, "You find someone who can take care of things, and let them come to Changxin Palace to take care of the concubine. These days, people outside should not go in and out of Changxin Palace casually. The concubine looks like this. Rest up, don't let them spread the word about what happened tonight."
Nanny Chen responded, Yan Qi was very grateful, the queen mother stood up slowly, and walked to Feng Lingsu's bedside, at this moment Feng Lingsu had calmed down, maybe it was because of too much trouble. After a long time, the whole person felt a dying sense of fragility. The queen mother looked at Feng Lingsu for a moment, then turned and left.
Yan Qi moved to see her off, but the Queen Mother said, "You don't need to see me off, just stay here with your mother and concubine."
Yan Qi wanted to say more, but the Queen Mother said without doubt, "Did your father send you an errand these days?"
Yan Qi nodded, "Yes, the emperor asked me, Yan Chi, to find someone together, but there is no definite news yet."
The queen mother nodded and said no more, "I'll tell you, so you can take care of your business, your concubine... Take care of your illness, she has also worried a lot about you, you should come and see her more these days, she It looks a little confused, but sometimes it is shrewd."
The smile on Yan Qi's face faltered, he didn't understand what the queen mother said for a moment, but the queen turned around and left without saying a word.
Seeing this, Yan Qi hurriedly cupped his hands and sent the Empress Dowager out. When the Empress Dowager's sedan chair left Changxin Palace, Yan Qi stood under the eaves and was startled.
She looks a little confused, but sometimes she is shrewd...
These are the Queen Mother's original words, Yan Qi couldn't figure out what she meant by her words for a while, did she want him to listen to Feng Lingsu's words? But recently, Feng Lingsu asked him to ask for a fief to leave the capital. What did the Queen Mother say, when was she smart
Yan Qi's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and the joy of the past few days also faded away.
Feng Lingsu's illness was very strange, and then she started talking nonsense, why
On the way back to Shoukang Palace, the Empress Dowager suddenly asked, "What is the Emperor doing?"
Mother Chen hurriedly said, "Just now the palace people went to the Chongzheng Hall, the emperor was talking to Commander Lin, and the city has been looking for people for the past two days, even His Highness Yan Chi has been sent out by the emperor, there is no definite news right now, The emperor should be very anxious."
The queen mother was silent for a moment, "In the past few days, no one is allowed to get close to the noble concubine except those in our palace. Our people will take care of the noble concubine personally."
I have already explained these words just now, but now the Empress Dowager actually reminded me again. Madam Chen was a little suspicious in her heart, but she still nodded her head in agreement. , the queen mother said when Nanny Chen helped the queen mother down, "Go and see the Chongzheng Hall and see how the emperor arranged it, and then go and tell the emperor, if you find the queen, I want to see the queen."
The empress and the crown prince fled privately, and there was a change in the north. This was no longer just a matter for the royal family. It was very likely that a war would break out.
According to the queen mother's temper, she would never take care of such things in the past, but today, the queen mother wants to see the queen.
Nanny Chen was also a little uneasy, but she still followed the orders. After sending the Queen Mother into the house, she turned around and went to the Changxin Palace with her most trusted person. After finishing the affairs of the Changxin Palace, Going to the Chongzheng Palace, it was not too early to return to the Shoukang Palace, but Mother Chen discovered that the Queen Mother had gone to the study that had been vacant for a long time.
The Empress Dowager was also a talented woman when she was young, and this Shoukang Palace also had a study room, but as the Empress Dowager grew older, her eyesight became bad, so she seldom read and practiced calligraphy. It was the queen mother who was looking at the Zhenlong chess game records that had already turned yellow.
Nanny Chen stepped forward and said, "It's so late, why are you watching this?"
The queen mother flipped through the two chess books page by page, and then she became startled. Mother Chen looked worried, "What's the matter with you, empress mother? Did you feel unwell after going out just now? I’ll be watching tomorrow, it’s getting late now, it’s time to rest.”
The queen mother shook her head, "No... not..."
"What? What's not?" Nanny Chen couldn't understand.
The Empress Dowager stood up slowly while supporting the arm of the chair, but halfway through standing her legs became weak again. Nanny Chen hurried to help her up, but when she took hold of the Empress Dowager's hand, she found that the Empress Dowager's palm was dripping with cold sweat and her whole body was trembling. Stop, Mother Chen's heart sank, and she panicked...
In the Chongzheng Palace, the emperor's complexion sank slightly as soon as Nanny Chen left.
Lin Zhang glanced at Yuan Qing, both of them were puzzled and surprised.
Yuan Qing stepped forward and said, "The Empress Dowager thinks highly of the Empress, most likely she wants to ask the Empress what she thinks about acting like this."
The emperor frowned slightly, "There is still no news from Yan Chi?"
Lin Zhang nodded, "Yes, no news..."
The empress dowager tapped the corner of the table frequently, and said after a while, "The empress leaves the palace, there must be someone who comes to meet her, and this person's power must not be small. Now it has been so many days without a trace like a mud cow entering the sea, which is too much." Weird."
Lin Zhang opened his eyes, "What does the emperor mean, could it be that Prince Rui helped the empress?"
The emperor pursed his lips without saying a word, and after a while he said tacitly, "Yanchi, I can't stay."
