But she couldn't tell what was wrong exactly.
In short, ever since Xie Yumin appeared, Shen Ningyuan's condition began to become abnormal.
"Yuan'er, what's wrong with you?" Cui Jin asked in a low voice.
Shen Ningyuan shook her head, "Mom, I'm fine."
Hearing this tone, Shen Ningyuan had no intention of speaking anymore.
At this time, Xie Yumin had already walked to a place not far away from the Queen Mother and bowed to her.
"Your son greets the Empress Dowager and the Emperor."
"Well, you're welcome, family."
When Queen Mother Cui saw Xie Yumin appear, she couldn't stop smiling.
After Xie Yumin stood up straight, Queen Mother Cui continued to ask, "I heard that since you were crowned king and went to Lingnan, you have made Lingnan very prosperous, and the people can even leave their doors unlocked at night. Is that true?"
Xie Yumin smiled and replied, "Grandmother, what the outside world says is too exaggerated. I am only doing my best to make the lives of the people in Lingnan a little better."
His attitude is neither humble nor arrogant, and he is very likable.
Queen Mother Cui had not expected that her timid grandson would change so much in just a few years.
So, Empress Dowager Cui looked at Xie Yumin with a look of relief in her eyes.
When everyone saw this scene, their minds became active again.
It seems that Prince Min is very much liked by the Emperor and the Queen Mother.
Doesn’t that mean that the court is about to start reshuffling?
When Xie Wanzhou was deposed, they were all wondering to whom His Majesty would pass the throne.
But after many years, His Majesty has not made any move.
Now it seems that it is to wait for King Min to return?
As everyone was guessing, the sound of a wheelchair turning was heard.
Xie Wanzhou was sitting in a wheelchair and was pushed into the hall by the guards.
Everyone looked over, their expressions even more complicated than before.
As soon as Prince Min appeared, the former crown prince rushed over.
This atmosphere... this atmosphere, seems to have become a little wrong.
Only Shen Ningyuan had her eyes fixed on Xie Yumin since he appeared.
When Xie Wanzhou came in, she could clearly feel that Xie Yumin's body stiffened for a moment.
After entering the hall, Xie Wanzhou said nothing. He just found a place to sit down and ate his vegetarian meal quietly.
This strange scene surprised everyone.
Did Xie Wanzhou suddenly show up just to eat this vegetarian meal?
Strangely, after Xie Wanzhou appeared, Empress Dowager Cui's expression turned very bad.
He couldn't stay any longer and stood up with a gloomy face.
"I'm a little tired, I'll go back to my bedroom and rest first."
Having said that, he walked towards the side hall without waiting for anyone's response.
Shen Ningyuan's face darkened. Did the Queen Mother seem to dislike Xie Wanzhou?
After she left, the atmosphere around her became strange.
As if he had noticed something, Xie Wanzhou looked at Shen Ningyuan calmly and gave her a look.
Shen Ningyuan's heart moved, and she always felt that Xie Wanzhou's eyes seemed to imply something.
"Father, why did the Empress Dowager pass away suddenly?" Xie Yumin suddenly asked.
When asking this question, his eyes swept towards Xie Wanzhou.
It clearly told everyone that Queen Mother Cui did not like Xie Wanzhou and didn't even want to look at him.
After Xie Yumin finished speaking, Xie Wanzhou raised his cold eyes and looked straight at Xie Yumin.
The latter remained unmoved and calmly glanced at Xie Lixuan, pretending not to see Xie Wanzhou's gaze.
Xie Lixuan picked up the teacup and took a sip, his eyes moving between Xie Wanzhou and Xie Yumin.
After many years, the relationship between Xie Yumin and Xie Wanzhou has become even more strained.
Thinking of this, Xie Lixuan said in a deep voice: "No, your grandmother is old, and it's normal for her to want to rest early after sitting for a long time."
"Oh, so that's how it is. I thought the Empress Dowager was suddenly in a bad mood, so she went back."
Xie Yumin continued to speak.
There was still a sharp edge in his words.
Everything he said hinted that Empress Dowager Cui disliked Xie Wanzhou.
Shen Ningyuan couldn't help but wonder why the Queen Mother didn't like Xie Wanzhou?
After Xie Yumin finished speaking, seeing that no one responded, he coughed twice, then turned his gaze to Xie Wanzhou and asked with a half-smile, "Royal brother, it's been a few years since we last met. Is your leg still not healed?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the surroundings instantly became quiet, and the atmosphere became even more tense than before.
Shen Ningyuan frowned.
She knew Xie Yumin did it on purpose.
He deliberately lifted Xie Wanzhou's leg as soon as he came up, clearly trying to embarrass him.
For a moment, everyone's eyes were focused on Xie Wanzhou, waiting to see how he would respond.
Shen Ningyuan also looked at Xie Wanzhou, curious about what he would say next.
However, to Shen Ningyuan's surprise, Xie Wanzhou did not react at all to Xie Yumin's public exposure of his shortcomings. His face remained as calm as water, without a single ripple.
He patted his leg, looked at Xie Yumin with a smile and said, "Seventh Royal Brother is really worried about this leg, but don't worry, when you are better, I will come to you step by step."
Shen Ningyuan's brows tightened, and she vaguely realized that Xie Wanzhou also had something else to say.
Xie Yumin also wore a calm smile, looked at Xie Wanzhou and said: "Okay, when the day comes that my brother's leg recovers, I will definitely give him a big gift."
Xie Wanzhou immediately responded, "Seventh Imperial Brother has not returned to the capital for many years, and the Imperial Brother has prepared a great gift for you."
"Oh? What is it?" Xie Yumin raised his eyebrows.
Xie Wanzhou's eyes flashed with coldness, and he said in a cold tone: "Don't worry, you will know soon."
