Chapter 357: Interception in the Palace
Danzhen glanced at the door, then spoke with a distressed look on her face
"Your Highness, the Emperor has been busy with state affairs these past few days and has not been in the harem. If he saw you looking so haggard, he would surely feel sorry for you. It has only been a few days, and you have been taking care of the Empress Dowager every day. You can't eat or sleep well. Your health is not good to begin with. If this continues, the Empress Dowager will recover, but you will fall ill again. What will we do?"
Lin Junxue said softly, "It's okay, as long as my mother's headache is healed, I'm fine. The emperor has been busy with government affairs these days and has not been to the harem. Don't bother the emperor with these trivial matters. State affairs are more important. Just put more powder on me, and don't let people see that I don't look good."
Danzhen puts makeup on Lin Junxue
"Your Highness, you are too strong-willed. But I think the Queen Mother's complexion has improved a lot. These days, even when the Queen Mother takes a nap, you have to watch over her. You also personally prepare the medicinal food. After a few hours, your legs are swollen. Yesterday, you burned your hand. Let's forget about it today. Let's arrange for other concubines to serve the Queen Mother for two days. You can also take a rest."
Lin Junxue shook her head
"No need. Since the Queen Mother wants me to take care of her, I am also showing my filial piety to the Emperor. If I take good care of her, she will love the Emperor more. From now on, I will not make things difficult for the Emperor. There is not much I can do, but as long as the Emperor is happy, it is worth it for me to work harder."
殿门
Gao Cheng glanced at Xie Yu's face and thought that the Queen really knew how to hurry up.
How could the emperor not be moved when hearing these words? No wonder the emperor dotes on the queen?
Look at the queen, she has suffered such a great injustice, but she doesn’t want to let the emperor know and make him worry.
If any of the concubines in the harem were injured, they would be eager to go to the emperor to complain about their grievances.
Compared to this, it’s no wonder that the emperor dotes on the queen so much now.
Xie Yu looked at Lin Junxue in the hall with tenderness on his face
Gao Cheng whispered "Your Majesty"
Xie Yu thought of what he had just said, and his eyes turned colder.
It seems that my mother has been giving Jun'er a lot of trouble these days when I was not in the harem.
Even if Jun'er, a queen, is attending to a sick patient, she does not have to prepare medicinal food herself.
Even when his mother was taking a nap, Jun'er couldn't rest. How could this not be intentional?
"Let's go to Ci'an Palace"
After Xie Yu left
Lin Junxue stood up, Danzhen walked to the door, and the palace maid whispered a few words.
Danzhen turned back to the hall
"Your Majesty, just now the Emperor and Eunuch Gao were listening at the gate of this palace for a while. He heard everything we said. Your Majesty has had people guarding the corner of the palace gate these days. If the Emperor comes, they will report immediately. Sure enough, the Emperor really came today, but he didn't let anyone know."
Lin Junxue said slowly, "Go and ask Qiaoxin to make some chestnut cakes. I want to eat them today."
Danzhen was stunned
"Your Majesty, then today, are we not going to Ci'an Palace?"
Lin Junxue narrowed her eyes slightly and curled her lips
"No need. Ask Guyu to go to Ci'an Palace in half an hour and tell her that I am not feeling well and cannot serve you today."
Danzhen understood instantly
"This slave knows"
Ci'an Palace
Xie Yu looked at the empress dowager's face, which was indeed rosy. She no longer had the paleness of the past few days and it seemed that she had recovered.
Danzhen was not lying, it was the Queen Mother who deliberately tormented Jun'er
The Queen Mother said, "Your Majesty, please stay and have dinner with your mother today."
Turning around, he told Nanny Wu to go to the small kitchen and make some dishes that Xie Yu liked.
Xie Yu's attitude was neither cold nor indifferent. He just hummed lightly.
The Queen Mother choked up and said, "Your Majesty, what happened? It's rare for you to come and see me."
Xie Yu said, "Mother, are you satisfied with the Queen's care for her these few days?"
The Queen Mother was slightly dissatisfied when she saw Xie Yu mention Lin Junxue as soon as he arrived.
"The Queen is thoughtful and considerate, and my mother is very satisfied. What's going on? Did the Queen say something to the Emperor? What's going on? The Queen is unwilling to serve me anymore?"
Xie Yu's face was like the cold stars in the winter night, and his eyes were a bottomless black.
"Mother, the Queen has not said anything bad in front of me, but I do have something to say to you."
The Queen Mother paused.
"Your Majesty, what do you want to say to me?"
Xie Yu looked at the Queen Mother and said word by word, "Mother, I have seen the respect and filial piety that the Queen has shown you over the years. In the past, I did not take the Queen seriously, so I naturally did not care how you treated Jun'er. But now, I have taken Jun'er seriously, so please do not target Jun'er, the Queen, anymore. You should understand what I mean."
The Queen Mother looked at Xie Yu in shock.
In the past two years, what methods did the queen use to hook the emperor's heart?
Xie Yu continued, "Mother, since you are almost recovered, let the other concubines take care of you starting tomorrow. The Queen is not feeling well, so it's time for her to take a rest."
The Queen Mother was so angry that her chest hurt and her eyes were wide open.
"Your Majesty, what do you mean? Are you saying that I deliberately tormented the Queen? Okay, Your Majesty, even if you are obsessed with the Queen, don't forget that the Queen is a member of the Lin family. One day, the Lin family..."
Xie Yu spoke coldly, interrupting the Queen Mother's next words.
"That's enough, mother. I know everything about the Lin family. The harem is not allowed to interfere in government affairs. Mother, don't forget it."
The Queen Mother covered her chest and stood up tremblingly.
Wang Chu hurried forward and supported the Queen Mother, "Queen Mother, please calm down."
"Okay, I know that the queen is the one you love the most, and I can't afford to have the queen take care of me when I'm sick."
Nanny Wu walked in and saw the tense atmosphere in the hall. She knew that the quarrel had started again.
"Empress Dowager, Your Majesty, lunch is ready, please enjoy it first."
Next second
The maid brought Guyu in, and Guyu knelt down and said, "I pay my respects to the Emperor and the Empress Dowager."
Xie Yu frowned when he saw Guyu.
"Why are you coming to Ci'an Palace instead of serving the Queen?"
Guyu said respectfully, "Your Majesty, Queen Mother, our queen felt a little unwell just now, so she ordered me to come to Ci'an Palace. Today, the queen cannot come to take care of her. Please forgive me, Queen Mother."
Xie Yu was anxious. "No, what happened to the Queen? Have you summoned the imperial physician?"
The Queen Mother became even angrier when she saw Xie Yu's anxious expression.
Guyu said, "Your Majesty, the Queen said it was just a minor illness, not a bit uncomfortable, so she didn't send the imperial physician to see her."
Xie Yu said in a deep voice, "How can this be possible? Gao Cheng, go and tell Wu Renlang to go to Zhonghe Palace immediately."
Then, Xie Yu said, "Mother, I will not have dinner with you today."
Xie Yu followed Gu Yu and left like this
Nanny Wu stepped forward and spoke carefully, "Queen Mother, the Emperor may just be..."
The Queen Mother was so angry that she threw the Buddhist beads in her hand to the ground, and they shattered into pieces.
"Look, this is the person I worked so hard to support to ascend the throne, but he actually told me that the harem is not allowed to interfere in government affairs. How ironic! He also told me not to blame the queen. This is my good son."
