The palace maid did not insist and said, "If the princess wants to wait, why not go and talk to the county lady. The county lady has been losing her appetite these past few days."
"What's wrong with mother?" Zi'an asked in surprise.
"It must be because she is too sad about what happened to Master Xia?" said the palace maid.
Zi'an stood up and said, "Take me to see my mother right away."
"Please come in, Princess!" The palace maid bowed.
Zi'an was a little surprised. It was very difficult for him to see his mother in the past, so how could he see her today just like that
When she arrived at Yuan Cuiyu's yard, she saw several guards guarding outside the yard. When they saw her coming, they all came forward and saluted.
Zi'an knew that these people were here to monitor his mother, so he didn't give them a good look and followed the palace servant straight in.
When she entered the bedroom, she smelled a strong odor of medicine. Several palace maids were standing in a row in front of the bed with their hands hanging down, guarding her.
Zi'an thought he just had no appetite, but he didn't expect it to be so serious that he had to lie in bed unable to move.
She walked over quickly, lifted the curtain, and saw a pale face. In just a few days, she had lost a lot of weight.
"Mother!" Zi'an sat beside the bed, held her hand, and shouted anxiously.
Yuan Cuiyu had her eyes closed, but when she heard Zi'an calling her, she slowly opened her eyes, looking a little dazed. After a while, she said, "Zi'an?"
"Mother, what's wrong?" Zi'an felt her pulse and was shocked. The pulse was floating, rapid and strong, indicating that the positive energy was declining but the negative energy was not retreating, which was a counter-symptom.
"Zi'an, you're here!" Yuan Cuiyu slowly sat up, supported the head of the bed with both hands, and smiled at Zi'an. That smile made Zi'an feel indescribably weird.
"Mom, where do you feel uncomfortable?" Zi'an held her hand, his palms were warm.
"I'm not feeling unwell, I'm fine. I told the emperor a long time ago that I was fine, but he just didn't believe it and asked you to come to the palace to see me?" Yuan Cuiyu said with a sweet smile on her lips.
Zi An was shocked, "It was not the Emperor who allowed me to enter the palace, I came in on my own."
"Zi'an." Yuan Cuiyu held her hand, her eyes filled with happiness and sweetness, "Mother has something to tell you."
"Mother, you say!" Zi'an became more and more frightened.
Yuan Cuiyu lifted her hair, revealing her delicate and beautiful face. "I have told the emperor everything about you. The emperor promised me that he would posthumously confer the title of princess on Zi'an. What do you think?"
Zi'an's mind buzzed as he looked at Yuan Cuiyu's cheerful face. She said it? How could she say that? Impossible.
"Zi'an, are you unhappy?" Seeing that she didn't say anything, Yuan Cuiyu slowly withdrew her smile. "Can you bear to let my dead daughter become a lonely ghost? She was posthumously named a princess, so even in the underworld, she can enjoy wealth and glory."
Zi'an supported her and looked into her eyes, "Mother, look at me, look at me."
Yuan Cuiyu shook off her hand and said, "Just tell me, are you unhappy that Zi'an was named a princess?"
"Happy!" The children's voices were as cold as stone, and they kept staring at Yuan Cuiyu.
There was a light in her eyes that came from the bottom of her heart.
"As long as I'm happy, I'm happy." She murmured, with a happy smile on her face again, "Zi'an, from now on, I will have two daughters."
"You have another son." Zi'an said, feeling extremely panicked. He mentioned Xia Lin because he wanted to see if she had told everyone about Xia Lin.
Yuan Cuiyu nodded repeatedly and said happily, "Yes, I have another son. I have two daughters and a son. I told the emperor that Linlin's death was faked, and the emperor was so happy that he even said he wanted to marry me. Zi'an, do you think I should marry the emperor?"
Zi'an took out a needle bag from his sleeve pocket and pierced Yuan Cuiyu's Dangyang acupoint.
At that moment, someone shouted, "Princess, don't do that."
The ones who stopped her were the imperial guards who had been watching at the door.
He walked over quickly and said coldly, "Princess, the emperor has ordered that no one except the imperial physician is allowed to treat the county lady. Please remove the needle."
Zi'an pulled out the needle. The needle should not be left in the Dangyang acupoint. One puncture is enough.
Yuan Cuiyu shuddered, but soon returned to her original smile, "Zi'an, you haven't answered your mother yet, okay? Can I marry the emperor?"
After hearing what Yuan Cuiyu said, the imperial guards slowly retreated.
Seeing that Zi'an didn't say anything, Yuan Cuiyu hugged her and murmured, "Are you angry? Zi'an, you are not happy that I married the emperor, right?"
She actually leaned on Zi'an's shoulder and started to cry. Then, Zi'an heard a barely audible sentence, "Smooth ear Gu, love Gu."
Zi'an clenched his fists, a raging fire burning in his eyes, but soon his eyes dropped, covering up everything.
Good, very good.
No wonder, he suddenly found the story of a fox spirit. It turned out that he had known about her soul traveling across time.
Yuan Cuiyu cried with joy and said, "Zi'an, you agreed, didn't you? That's great. I don't need you to persuade me. You agreed. That's great. I am relieved. You said it yourself. I am finally relieved. I was so worried that you didn't want me to marry a king, an emperor, or a general. But fortunately, you agreed. I am finally relieved. I am fine. You should be fine too."
She kept repeating these words, but as mother and daughter, Zi'an knew that her real meaning was hidden in her words.
This sentence actually means only one thing: to advise Prince An, you should be well.
The ear-pleasing Gu was aimed at her and Old Seven, while the love Gu was targeted at Prince An.
If his mother really married the emperor, what would Prince An do
This is a certainty.
Zi'an stood up, stepped back, and looked at Yuan Cuiyu deeply. "Mother, I'm glad that you finally have someone who cares about you. I'll take my leave now."
"Go, go, you don't have to come to see mother. Mother is very happy. Just go." Yuan Cuiyu slowly lay back on the bed. She was not good at pretending. After a moment of clarity, she felt the heart-wrenching pain. She was afraid that she could not hide her tears.
But soon, her smiling face was full of happiness again.
Zi'an's injection only made her awake for a moment.
As Zi'an turned around, he heard a eunuch outside shouting, "The Emperor has arrived!"
Zi'an paused, took a step back and lowered his head.
A pair of long boots embroidered with golden dragons appeared in Zi'an's eyes, and the bright yellow sleeves swayed gently, then stopped.
"Your Highness!" Zi'an bowed his head and saluted.
The emperor's voice was full of affinity, "Zi'an, you're here?"
Zi'an remained calm, "Yes, Your Majesty, I came in to see my mother."
"You are so filial." The emperor smiled and walked past her and towards the bed.
Yuan Cuiyu sat up, still with that happy and sweet smile on her face, and a look of fanatical admiration in her eyes, "Your Majesty, you are here?"
"Are you feeling better?" The emperor sat beside the bed, where Zi'an had just sat.
Yuan Cuiyu blushed and said, "I am fine, it's the Emperor who doesn't believe me."
The emperor stretched out his hand and brushed her face, his voice full of doting, "Silly girl, the imperial physician said that you are not feeling well, you must stay in bed and rest."
When Zi'an saw this scene, he felt goose bumps all over his body.
This scene is so disgusting.
