After looking in the mirror, she found that her eyes were swollen from crying. It seemed that she could not see anyone in this state today.
Seeing her rubbing her eyes in front of the mirror with a distressed look, Ji Chenan deliberately did not call the servants into the room in order to save her some face as the queen.
He left the room and called everyone in Fengluan Palace to his side.
"I plan to let the Queen go with the Queen Mother to live outside the palace for half a year in three days. Everyone in Fengluan Palace will accompany her. Remember this and don't make it public." He said in a deep voice.
Nanny Qiu Jin asked in confusion, "What about the Empress's belly..." Nanny Qiu Jin thought about Jiang Ziyi's belly and estimated that she would give birth in five months. If she lived outside the palace for half a year, wouldn't she have to give birth outside the palace?
"Don't worry about that. I will arrange for a midwife to accompany you."
The servants were all shocked when they heard this. His Majesty had even considered this. It seemed that he had made up his mind to have the Empress give birth outside the palace...
They didn't dare to ask more questions, but their intuition from years of experience in the palace told them that something big might be about to happen.
At the same time, Ji Chenan also sent Achen to the Empress Dowager's Cining Palace to inform her about leaving the palace for a short stay, and also talked about the matter of Prince Jin.
Although the Queen Mother is now almost sixty years old and looks kind and benevolent, this is very different from the impression she gave when she was young.
After hearing the news from Achen, the Queen Mother immediately understood.
The emperor hoped that she could take the queen out to avoid the limelight.
The Queen Mother's mouth curled up, and her seemingly kind eyes were now full of scorn.
"I'm afraid it's going to rain in this palace."
Nanny Yun also had a serious expression on her face at this time, "Your Majesty, it seems that His Majesty is ready to take real action this time."
Your Majesty has always been caring towards his family. Whenever there is danger, Your Majesty will always choose to send the Queen Mother out of the palace for temporary shelter, and then bring her back to the palace when the danger is no longer there.
It's the same this time, except that this time His Majesty has two more family members to care for.
"As a member of the royal family, you must win over others with virtue and never easily engage in violence against your brothers."
"This is what I used to teach the emperor."
"But if your brothers and sisters don't know the rules..." A low and cold voice came out from the empress dowager's thin lips. She didn't finish her words, but the cold and murderous tone was already very obvious.
After all, when the Queen Mother was young, she was so powerful that she looked down upon the world.
She did not have deep feelings for the late emperor, and all her emotions were poured into Ji Chenan. So when Ji Chenan was poisoned and the late emperor was about to give his position as crown prince to his illegitimate son outside the palace, the empress dowager acted without hesitation.
She pretended to obey the late emperor's request to depose the crown prince, without arguing or making a fuss.
But he secretly spread the news that he had an elixir of immortality that he had found among the people.
Although it is said to be immortality, it is actually made from many highly poisonous substances. The late emperor was eager to pursue immortality and had eaten many elixirs in the past, so he did not doubt it.
Moreover, the empress dowager at that time knew that the late emperor was selfish. If there was only one pill, he would definitely want to take it for himself.
So when the late emperor sent people to her palace to search for elixirs, she took special care to hide them in a very secluded place.
The purpose was to dispel the late emperor's doubts so that he could accept the throne with peace of mind.
It has to be said that Ji Chenan's sinister character might have been inherited from the Queen Mother.
Not long after the late emperor took the elixir, the toxicity slowly began to show. However, because there were too many poisons mixed in during the refining process, even the imperial physician could not diagnose the cause of the late emperor's death.
After the death of the previous emperor, the empress dowager took charge of government affairs, and from then on no one dared to mention the matter of appointing another crown prince.
The Queen Mother saved the throne for her child, and from that time on, she began to worship Buddha devoutly.
But now, the Queen Mother's eyes were dark.
"Perhaps I shouldn't have been so kind as to spare the child's life." The Queen Mother was referring to the Prince of Jin.
At that time, she thought that once the late emperor died, no one would be able to shake Ji Chenan's position as the crown prince.
Her child would legitimately ascend the throne, so she spared Ji Chenjing.
But I never thought that Ji Chenjing now has unnecessary expectations for the throne!
Seeing the Empress Dowager's serious expression, Nanny Yun comforted her, "Don't worry, Empress Dowager. His Majesty is now grown up and can protect himself. He has even married a queen, and the queen is pregnant with your grandson."
As expected, after hearing Nanny Yun's words, the Queen Mother's brows immediately relaxed and she said in a gentle voice, "Over the years, you are still the one who knows how to comfort me the most."
Seeing that the Queen Mother's complexion had improved, Nanny Yun also bowed and replied with a smile, "This old servant has been by your side for all these years, and it's not in vain."
......
After Ji Chenan explained everything to the servants, he returned to the room and saw Jiang Ziyi still scratching her eye sockets with her knuckles in front of the bronze mirror, trying to reduce the swelling.
He walked behind her, leaned over slightly, and whispered softly into Jiang Ziyi's ear, "Little cat."
Jiang Ziyi turned around, her face flushed red as she angrily said, "It's all your Majesty's fault!"
Ji Chenan took Jiang Ziyi into his arms and gently stroked the back of her head with his big hand. "Okay, okay, it's all my fault. It's all my fault."
Since Jiang Ziyi was sitting, her entire face was buried in Ji Chenan's waist.
Until a little thing quietly poked its head out again, she quickly pushed Ji Chenan away.
She turned her head away, blushing a little, and changed the subject, "After this farewell, when will Ziyi be able to see His Majesty again?"
Seeing her shy, Ji Chenan felt as if a kitten was scratching his heart.
Before Jiang Ziyi could figure out what was going on, Ji Chenan had already picked her up.
Then Ji Chenan sat on the chair and Jiang Ziyi sat on his lap.
In this situation, an ambiguous atmosphere fermented silently.
Ji Chenan leaned against her neck and spoke in a hoarse voice, "Why, Ziyi starts missing me before you even leave me?"
Jiang Ziyi sat on him, and when she lowered her eyes, she saw his thick eyelashes covering his eyes, and those eyes were looking at her at this moment.
She felt her heart skip a beat, and after a moment, she muffled her response, "Yeah."
Seeing that she admitted it so frankly, Ji Chenan stopped joking.
He looked at her seriously and said, "Once I have dealt with everything, I will take you back immediately."
Hearing his promise, Jiang Ziyi hooked her arm around Ji Chenan's neck, put her face against his, and whispered softly in his ear, "Okay."
