Xia Zhiliao concentrated on taking the Empress Dowager's pulse, and Emperor Shunde did not ask her any questions during the process.
Xia Zhiliao guessed that maybe he had done a good job of flattering his master. After all, even a tyrant does not want to admit that he is a tyrant.
Emperor Shunde, who ascended the throne at a young age, was much more thoughtful than ordinary people, otherwise he would not have been able to sit firmly on the throne.
So, she didn't dare to be too clever.
After all, this is really good acting. He neglected the most beloved prince and always made people think that he would never achieve great things, so those princes who were usually outstanding fought each other until they were bloody.
Of course, Emperor Shunde was also ruthless enough to sacrifice his other sons for the sake of his successor.
So, this kind of person, so when reading the novel, Xia Zhiliao didn't have a good impression of this emperor.
Maybe it’s because she is an ordinary person.
Xia Zhiliao's thoughts wandered for a while, but he soon returned to reality.
Seeing her withdraw her hand, Emperor Shunde asked, "What happened?"
Xia Zhiliao said truthfully: "The Queen Mother's condition has improved a lot. Because she was treated in the early stages of the disease, she can still be cured."
"You mean not yet?"
Xia Zhi nodded, "But it's too soon. I need to reduce the dosage a little bit. It will be almost cured in another month."
The Queen Mother smiled lovingly, "It's all right now, you don't have to worry. Zhiliao has helped me a lot, I have to reward you well, what do you want?"
Xia Chen hurriedly shook her head for Xia Zhiliao, "It is our blessing to be able to treat the Empress Dowager."
Most people would have no problem hearing Xia Chen's answer.
But Xia Zhiliao felt that it was inappropriate.
[Mother, it is not a good idea to refuse at this time. Can't you see that the emperor really wants to send us away? He doesn't want to have anything to do with us.]
Xia Chen was a little confused. Is this true?
"Empress Dowager, can I have anything I want?" Xia Zhiliao asked in a baby voice.
Wen Heng also felt that what Xia Zhiliao said was right. Firstly, she cured the disease, so she deserved the reward. Secondly, her analysis of her father was also correct.
However, he was very curious about what this little girl wanted.
The Queen Mother smiled and nodded, "Then tell me, what do you want?"
Emperor Shunde also looked at Xia Zhiliao.
Xia Zhiliao felt uneasy when being stared at. She didn't want to be too high-profile, nor did she want to have too many entanglements with the royal family. Most importantly, she didn't want Emperor Shunde to pay too much attention to her.
It is better to make him feel that he is someone who is easy to deal with and it is better to deal with him casually.
This way she is safe, her family is safe, and Wen Heng is safe too.
After all, if Wen Heng knew someone who was too smart, Emperor Shunde would be unhappy.
"I...I like silver, gold is fine too, is that okay?"
The Empress Dowager smiled, and a sharp gleam of light flashed in Emperor Shunde's eyes, and then he also smiled. He thought this child would be so different from others, but it turned out that he was just an ordinary person.
Asking for silver and gold, what's so difficult about that?
Xia Zhiliao pretended to be silly and said, "Is it not possible?"
"Of course you can!" The Queen Mother smiled. "I will have someone send the gold and silver to the General's Mansion when I get back."
Xia Zhi rolled his eyes and said, "It cannot be sent to the general's mansion."
"Why?" asked the Queen Mother. "Don't you live there?"
"But we have to go home in a few days!" Xia Zhiliao said seriously: "Grandpa Wei has to go back with us. If we bring too much money, we will be robbed. No, no, we have been robbed before."
Xia Chen was suspicious. When had their money ever been robbed?
The fact is of course that it has never been robbed, but Xia Zhiliao had her reasons for saying so.
General Wei really wanted to retire, but if he didn't leave, Emperor Shunde would definitely stop him from interacting with Wen Heng because of his suspicion.
General Wei is quite straightforward. He must be grateful to Wen Heng for saving him now. If Wen Heng really encounters something in the future, he will definitely repay the favor.
If that happens, General Wei will also be in trouble.
Therefore, it is the best arrangement for General Wei to resign and leave Beijing.
Emperor Shunde smiled and said, "Are you talking about General Wei Rong?"
Xia Zhiliao nodded, "Yes, he is going to marry my grandmother, and soon he will become my grandfather."
The little girl told them everything, as if she didn't treat them as outsiders.
[Now that I've said this, you shouldn't doubt General Wei anymore, right? ]
After hearing this, Wen Heng guessed the little girl's intention, but he chose not to say anything. This was the best way to clear himself.
"But I haven't decided to let him go yet." Emperor Shunde glanced at Wen Heng and found that he was very calm and indifferent to it. As for whether he really didn't care or it was fake, it was unknown.
"He is a hero who has made countless military achievements. I cannot let him go easily."
Xia Zhiliao pretended to be surprised, "What about my grandma? My grandma doesn't like the people in the capital. If you don't let him go, then he can't be my grandpa. Your Majesty, then I don't want the silver, I want Grandpa Wei, okay?"
The Queen Mother couldn't bear to watch, "Well, stop teasing the child. Look how sad you made the little girl. You don't even want the money."
The Empress Dowager thought that the little girl was very filial, and even gave up her favorite silver for her grandmother's sake.
What a good boy.
"Don't you like money? I can give you both money and Grandpa Wei. How about that?"
"Really? Then tell me."
"I have issued an order to let your grandmother stay in the capital. This way you will have everything. You can also become a lady of the general's mansion and enjoy wealth and glory."
Xia Zhiliao pouted, "My grandma will be unhappy, and no one will take care of my father's orchard. No, no, if my grandma is unhappy, I don't want the money anymore."
"So between silver and grandma, or grandma is more important?"
Xia Zhiliao nodded, looked at the Empress Dowager and said, "Of course, Grandma loves Zhiliao the most, and I want to make Grandma happy. Empress Dowager, can I not take the silver?"
"I have no say on this. You have to ask the emperor."
Xia Zhiliao looked at Emperor Shunde pitifully and bit her lip, "Is it okay?"
Emperor Shunde actually already had the answer. Wei Rong was indeed old, and if he really stood on Wen Heng's side, it would be difficult to deal with.
Therefore, leaving Beijing is his best destination.
But he didn't want to appear too forthright. He had to let people know that he was an emperor who valued talents and was loyal and righteous. "I haven't made up my mind yet. You go back and wait for news."
Xia Zhiliao knew that he would definitely agree. Emperor Shunde liked to act, and she was just accompanying him in a play.
"Then you have to think about it carefully. I really don't need the money."
The Queen Mother smiled and said, "This child is a rare filial child."
She looked at Wen Heng again.
