Chapter 10 Are they all trying to take me with them?

The queen stood up and personally helped Dangui up, holding her hand and comforting her, "Don't be afraid, I have no other intentions."

Dangui was still a little nervous: "Your Majesty, is there something important that you want me to do?"

The Queen shook her head and said, "No, it's just that I've thought about it again and again. What I advised you to do was my own opinion and shouldn't be forced upon you."

Dan Gui was stunned, with a look of panic: "Madam, you..."

"Listen to me." The Queen interrupted Dangui and continued, "I am also selfish and can't bear to see you leave me, so I tried my best to persuade you."

"But then I wonder, if you were my daughter, what would I do?"

"When I remembered that even though I was extremely disappointed with all the men in the world, I had never advised Xiao Qi like that, I knew that I shouldn't have advised you like that."

"I am terrified. How can I compare with the Seventh Princess?" Dangui was shocked and moved, and was about to kneel down.

The queen held her arm and sighed, "You should leave the palace today and meet your lover. Tell him that I have agreed to your marriage and let them choose a good day."

"Go and say hello and then come back to the palace. When you get married, I will prepare a dowry for you. It will be worth it that you have stayed by my side for so many years and even risked your life to protect me."

For Dangui, the news came too suddenly and was too shocking.

She had already accepted her fate and planned to stay in the palace until she died, but suddenly, things turned around.

She cried with joy, knelt on the ground, hugged the queen's legs and cried loudly: "My queen, I don't know how to thank you, I, I..."

I was crying so hard that I couldn't catch my breath.

The queen looked at the maid who had accompanied her for more than ten years, and her heart was filled with mixed feelings. Her eyes became wet. She pulled Dangui up and said deliberately, "If you don't leave now, I will change my mind."

"Let's go. I'll leave now." Dangui burst into laughter and said while wiping her tears. She bowed respectfully and was about to leave.

"Wait a moment." The queen held her back and called for the capable Matron Zheng to come over. She asked Matron Zheng to take her token as the head matron of Fengyi Palace and bring some snacks and fruits and go with Dangui.

Dangui knew that the Empress was trying to save her face. She had refused the marriage proposal before, which had already made her cousin and her parents very unhappy with her. She was afraid that they would not be treated well if she came again this time.

Nanny Zheng naturally knew the key point and said immediately: "Don't worry, Madam, I am here to make sure that Dangui will not be the first to take the cake."

The Queen warned, "Don't be too angry. No matter what the reason is, it was Dangui who changed her mind several times. You should try to make peace with her. It will be easier for Dangui to live after she marries him."

Madam Zheng replied, "Don't worry, Madam. I understand."

Dangui was deeply moved and kowtowed to the empress before following Nanny Zheng.

Looking at the joyful figure, the queen sighed, stood alone in the empty palace for a long time, and said, "Come, follow me to Furong Palace."

Inside the Hibiscus Palace, the Royal Concubine was sitting on the couch holding Ji Jinyou in her arms while waiting in line, while the Imperial Physician was checking the Seventh Princess' pulse.

Ji Jinyou has always been curious about traditional Chinese medicine. She thinks it is a magical thing to be able to tell whether a person is healthy or not by taking the pulse. She blinked her big eyes and stared at the imperial physician's hand.

Seeing that the chubby girl in her arms was too well-behaved, the imperial concubine thought she was afraid, so she held her chubby hand and comforted her, "Don't be afraid, Xiaojiu. Show it to your seventh sister first, then your eighth sister, and finally to our Xiaojiu."

Ji Jinyou raised her little head and said seriously, "Youyou, don't be afraid."

The little girl said in a baby voice that she was not afraid. The imperial concubine was so moved that her voice became choked unconsciously: "Our little Jiu is really amazing. She is not even afraid of taking the pulse."

Ji Jinyou: "..."

The Imperial Concubine is too exaggerated, even more exaggerated than her mother, the Concubine Ru.

The seven or eight princesses all got goosebumps all over their bodies at the same time, but they tried hard not to roll their eyes.

The imperial physician first took the pulse of the seven or eight princesses, and then took Ji Jinyou's pulse carefully, and then told them that everything was fine.

Ji Jinyou nodded and thanked him solemnly. After the imperial physician returned the greeting, he said goodbye and left.

The Imperial Concubine was relieved, but her doubts grew even more intense.

Xiaojiu is in good health and has more than 60 days to live. What is going on?

Could it be true, as Xiaoqi and Xiaoba said, that someone had murdered him?

I wanted to discuss it further, but it was not convenient for me to hide inside again in front of the little girl.

Although Xiaojiu is only three years old, the conversation between her and Tongtong shows that she is very smart, even too smart to be a three-year-old.

They couldn't always be so sneaky, or she would find out something.

It was still early for lunch, and the Eighth Princess suddenly felt like playing. She reached out to the Royal Concubine to hug Ji Jinyou: "Mother, Seventh Sister and I will take Xiaojiu out for a walk."

The Seventh Princess nodded in agreement: "Let's take Xiaojiu out for some exercise."

The chubby and soft little girl was very comfortable in her arms. The imperial concubine was not satisfied with the hug and raised her hand to stop him: "Where are you going? It's so hot outside."

The Eighth Princess replied casually, "Let's just stroll around. Let's find a cool place so that Xiaojiu won't be exposed to the sun."

The Imperial Concubine knew her own daughter best. When she saw the Eighth Princess and the Seventh Princess making faces, she knew that these two troublesome girls were trying to take Little Nine to some concubine to see if they could hear some gossip.

She glared at the Seventh and Eighth Princesses and said, "Sit still and don't go anywhere."

This matter is too strange and of great importance, so she needs to discuss it with the Queen. Before that, it is better for Xiaojiu to see as few other people as possible.

At least, we have to wait for the people she arranged to find out the result and clarify the matter of him only having 67 days left to live.

The Eighth Princess was not one to sit still and protested, "Mother, let's take Xiaojiu out to play for a while."

The Imperial Concubine firmly disagreed: "No, I sent someone to call your brother to come and have dinner together. According to the time, he will be here soon. Your brother hasn't seen Xiaojiu for many days. Xiaojiu must stay here."

I guess the emperor doesn't even recognize Xiaojiu, so what's the point of meeting her?

The Eighth Princess wanted to roll her eyes. Don't think she didn't know that her mother just wanted to hear what that Tongtong said about her brother.

The palace servants outside reported that the Empress had arrived, and several people hurriedly stood up to greet her.

The queen walked into the palace and asked everyone to stand up. Then she reached out and took Ji Jinyou, who was leaning over to salute but had not yet stood up straight, and touched her hand. She said softly, "Xiaojiu, would you like to go with your mother to sit with your father?"

Ji Jinyou was stunned: [Everyone, why do I feel like everyone is acting weird, are they all trying to take me with them?]
