Chapter 332 The Queen Mother is Seriously Ill

Although Song Zhaoren has not yet left the cold palace, Xiao Jingheng has issued an imperial decree yesterday to restore her to the position of Consort Yi.

The next morning, when the news spread throughout the six palaces, some people could no longer sit still.

Under the pretext of visiting Concubine Hui, Concubine Yao secretly took Concubine Yun and Concubine Ying to Zhaochun Palace.

Seeing this, she only expressed concern for Concubine Hui for a few words and then went straight to the point:

"You all heard the rumors, right? The emperor reinstated the concubine in the cold palace, and he personally went to welcome her last night. It's strange, why didn't I see her when I paid my respects to the concubine today?"

Concubine Yun said jokingly, "I heard that the one in the cold palace had a lot of trouble with the emperor yesterday, and in the end the emperor refused to let her in. Tsk tsk, she is also a fool. She finally got a chance to turn things around, but she was useless."

Concubine Yao immediately laughed and said, "It's better if she is useless. If she is useful and we really let her out, then there will be five concubines in the palace, including her. What will happen if this gets out?" Then she nudged Concubine Ying with her elbow, "Sister Ying, don't you agree?"

Concubine Ying glanced at Concubine Yao and sneered, "Whether Song becomes Concubine Yi or not is none of our business. Concubine Yun and I have been in the position of Concubine for a long time, but you and Concubine Hui have only been promoted for two or three years.

"Besides, Concubine Hui has an heir, so she deserves the position of Concubine. As for you... you don't want the Song family to come out, otherwise, according to seniority, you would have to give up your seat to them, wouldn't you?"

"......"

Concubine Yao originally wanted to get everyone to join forces to prevent Song Zhao from leaving the cold palace.

But looking at the current situation, apart from Concubine Yun who can use her words, Concubine Hui is only concerned with the grief over her miscarriage, and Concubine Ying is like a gunpowder, retorting every word she says.

Therefore, Concubine Yao had no choice but to give some benefits to concubines of lower rank.

When they had the opportunity to sleep with him, they also whispered in Xiao Jingheng's ear.

By April, Song Zhao was still staying in the cold palace and refused to come out.

Xiao Jingheng went to "invite" her three times, but she was firm in her attitude and refused to meet him.

This matter became a knot in Xiao Jingheng's heart, and he could not feel relieved.

At dusk that day, Xiao Jingheng went to Yonghe Palace to sit.

Because there were children in the palace, Ning Wanshuang had someone build a pavilion in the courtyard.

There are vine racks all around, so even in the summer, children playing outside will not be exposed to the sun.

When Xiao Jingheng came, he was playing with a few children in the pavilion for a while.

But Ning Wanshuang saw that he looked serious, so she told the wet nurse to take the children away, and she stayed alone with Xiao Jingheng.

She poured a cup of tea for Jamel Xiao and smiled softly:

"Your Majesty, this is the herbal tea I just made. Please try it."

Xiao Jingheng picked up the teacup and took a sip. His frown finally relaxed slightly.

"The Prunella Vulgaris here is made from the tenderest sprouts. You are the only one in the palace who is so attentive."

Ning Wanshuang smiled calmly, "I was thinking that the emperor likes it."

After drinking tea, the sun went down.

Xiao Jingheng held Ning Wanshuang's hand and strolled in the courtyard.

"Your Majesty looks very worried today. What difficulties have you encountered?" Ning Wanshuang asked.

Xiao Jingheng sighed, "In order to take Concubine Yi out of the cold palace, the empress and the former emperor seemed to have colluded and took turns to advise me to think twice."

He only talked about the resistance from the previous dynasty, and did not mention Song Zhao's cold and resolute attitude towards him.

It seemed as if he had already appeased Song Zhao, and now his only difficulty was how to quell the criticism from the previous dynasty and the harem.

Ning Wanshuang understood, but just smiled, "It's no wonder they said that. It's not appropriate to bring her back at this time. Your Majesty, now that the four corners of the imperial concubine are complete, if Song comes back, what position will you give her?"

The two were talking when a palace maid suddenly appeared from nowhere and almost bumped into Xiao Jingheng like a headless fly.

Xiao Jingheng and Ning Wanshuang were both shocked, but the maid didn't even show the proper manners. She just stood there blankly, saying, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."

Ning Wanshuang frowned and glared at her, "Why did you run out?" Then she raised her voice and ordered, "Liu Yue! I asked you to keep an eye on her, how did you do your job?"

Liu Yue came over in response, kept apologizing, and took the palace maid away.

Xiao Jingheng felt strange and looked at the palace maid for a second longer.

She looked familiar, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "Is this Cai Jie from your palace? She has served you for a long time, and she is quite clever. Why does she look so dazed today?"

Ning Wanshuang sighed and explained, "Alas, this girl is also very careful. Thinking that the cicadas' chirping in early summer is annoying, she climbed up and down with a sticky pole, saying that she wanted to catch all the cicadas so as not to disturb the rest of me and the princes.

Who would have thought that day, he accidentally fell from a height, hit his head and was unconscious for four or five days before waking up. The man was saved, but after waking up, he remembered nothing, like a blank sheet of paper, and everything had to be taught right away.

I also thought that she had served me diligently in the past, and since she had no one at home, it would be pitiful to drive her out of the palace at this time, so I thought of keeping her by my side and training her well, which would also be a way out for her. "

After hearing this, Xiao Jingheng was in a trance for a moment, as if some weird idea flashed through his mind.

He held Ning Wanshuang's hand tightly and said gently:

"Wan'er is kind-hearted and considerate to her servants."

"I am only following the example of my superiors. Your Majesty governs the country with benevolence and justice, and I will treat the harem with kindness."

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"

The two were in love, but were suddenly interrupted by a eunuch's sharp and thin cry.

Jiang Deshun dragged his lame leg and ran towards Xiao Jingheng, saying with a sad face:

"Your Majesty! The Queen Mother...is not feeling well!"
