Chapter 525 Discovering the Secret
Hua Feixue: "..."
Hua Feixue: "!!!"
He was stunned!
What did he hear?
The Imperial Master calls Empress Dowager Yuan his cousin?
Empress Dowager Yuan snuggled in the arms of the Imperial Master, like a little bird.
She said in a somewhat spoiled tone: "Cousin, besides you, who else in this palace would dare to make me angry?"
The national teacher asked again, "Then what happened to you?"
Queen Mother Yuan took his hand and sat down. A trace of anger flashed in her eyes, and then she said: "I saw Chu Yi on my way to find you just now, and he almost strangled me to death."
The Imperial Master stood up in shock, "What, Chu Yi?"
"Cousin, are you dazzled?"
Empress Dowager Yuan's eyes dimmed, and she said in a deep voice: "Absolutely not. Even if Chu Yi turned into ashes, I would definitely recognize him."
"But what I didn't expect was that after I sent people to look for him outside for two years, he would actually hide in the palace and pretend to be a ghost to scare me."
Queen Mother Yuan clenched her fists and her face turned blue with anger. Whenever she thought about how she had just been frightened by Chu Yi and lost her composure in front of the imperial guards, she wished she could kill him.
The Imperial Master frowned and said, "Cousin, I think you are overthinking."
"Think about it, you killed Chu Yi's entire family and imprisoned his father. If he really had been hiding in the palace, why had he never shown up for such a long time?"
"Besides, Chu Yi has a deep hatred for the Yuan family. If the person you saw was really him, why did he let you go and not kill you?"
Empress Dowager Yuan was slightly stunned, looked at him and asked: "Cousin, what do you mean?"
The Imperial Master poured a cup of tea and said seriously, "Tomorrow is the day the fake prince will be buried. I think someone doesn't want you to bury him with the queen, so he deliberately dressed up as Chu Yi to scare you, in order to make you give up this idea."
"Although we have already eliminated a group of civil and military officials who are loyal to the Chu royal family, there are still some fish that slipped through the net and have not been eliminated. This thing might have been done by them."
"Cousin, you must not fall into these people's trap and lose your composure!"
When Empress Dowager Yuan heard what he said, she immediately felt more relieved. She had previously thought that someone was pretending to be a ghost to scare her.
If it really is Chu Yi, the palace is so big, even if he has a place to hide, he still needs to eat every day, right?
It's impossible that no one had discovered him for so long.
Furthermore, considering how much Chu Yi valued Chu Huang, upon learning that she had been imprisoned by her, there was no way he would not try to rescue her.
The only explanation is that the person she saw was not Chu Yi at all.
Queen Dowager Yuan had just felt relieved, but she soon thought of another problem, which made her worried again.
"Cousin, if the person I saw tonight was really arranged by someone who opposes me, do you think he would oppose Chao'er's ascension to the throne?"
"This man is loyal to the Chu family and will definitely not agree to let Chaoer take that position. I am worried that he will come out to cause trouble when Chaoer attends the ceremony of establishing the crown prince the day after tomorrow."
The Imperial Master sneered disdainfully: "What are you afraid of? As long as the four great families don't object, we have nothing to worry about."
"The Yuan family is now the only one in power in the imperial court. Most of the military power of Western Shu is in the hands of you and the Yuan family. If anyone is dissatisfied, they can find an excuse for corruption and have their family confiscated and their entire clan exterminated. I wonder who will dare to object to Chao'er taking the throne in the future?"
After the Imperial Master finished speaking, he suddenly discovered something and looked at Queen Dowager Yuan.
"By the way, cousin, don't you always have a severe headache at night? Why didn't I hear you cry out in pain today?"
Every time before, Yuan Tai came to him, she would cry and complain to him about her headache, and then she would curse the late emperor and the people of the Chu royal family before she felt relieved.
But today, Queen Dowager Yuan changed her usual abnormal behavior and did not complain about her headache.
This made the national teacher very curious.
Empress Dowager Yuan took his hand and said with a smile: "I was just about to tell you about this!"
"It's a coincidence that a female doctor with excellent medical skills came to our West Shu Kingdom these past two days. By chance, she was invited by the General's Mansion to cure Miss Shen's illness. This news spread in the capital, and many ladies came to see her and wanted to ask this female doctor named Yun to treat her."
"The medicine prescribed by Doctor Wei didn't work for me, so I thought I might as well let her try it. What if she can cure me?"
The national teacher asked curiously: "Then what?"
Empress Dowager Yuan raised her teacup and took a sip before she said calmly, "Her medical skills are indeed good, but she doesn't know much about etiquette. I deliberately made things difficult for her at first and asked her to diagnose the pulses of the servants in the palace. I didn't expect that she could accurately diagnose each person's symptoms. Now, after taking the medicine she prescribed, the servants' conditions have improved."
Having said this, she paused and turned to look at the national teacher.
"Cousin, guess what, when she was diagnosing my pulse, she told me at the beginning that I had given birth to a premature baby seventeen or eighteen years ago, and my headache was just a sequelae of the labor-inducing drugs I had used."
"Almost no one in the palace knows about this matter except for Imperial Physician Wei. Imperial Physician Wei also said that I used too strong a medicine at the beginning and did not take good care of myself after the baby is born. This has damaged my foundation and it is very difficult to cure my headache."
"But once Doctor Yun took action, my headache was relieved. She only gave me acupuncture twice, and I felt that I was almost fully recovered. Now I don't have any headache or tinnitus at all."
"Just now when someone pretended to be Chu Yi and acted like a ghost to scare me, I was extremely emotional, but I didn't have a headache. I feel like I'm no different from a normal person now!"
Upon hearing this, the Imperial Master immediately hugged Empress Dowager Yuan in his arms and said excitedly, "Cousin, that's great. I've seen you suffer from headaches day and night over the years, and I feel pain in my heart. I really want to help you bear the pain."
"Now that your headache has healed and the Chu royal family has been destroyed, when our son ascends the throne, our family of three will be able to enjoy wealth and family happiness together. No one can separate us anymore."
The two looked at each other lovingly and slowly kissed each other, which made Hua Feixue swear.
"Damn, this pair of bastards really are having an affair. Not only did they have an affair behind the late emperor's back, but they also secretly gave birth to a son."
"It seems that my guess was correct. The prince who was pushed to the throne by the dog state teacher turned out to be the illegitimate son of these two dogs. No wonder that person also has the surname Yuan. This family is really too shameless!"
