Chapter 29 The Queen Mother Sets a Trap
"By the way, I suddenly remembered that there is a pair of gold locks in the storeroom that were awarded by the Emperor. You two go and get them for me."
Concubine Shu opened her lips lightly, neither fast nor slow, with a sense of nonchalance that she did not take Ying'an seriously.
The two maids exchanged glances, looking at each other with worry.
Did the Queen care too much about the Emperor's favor, but now it was taken away by someone else, and she was unwilling to accept it, so she became less concerned about the princess?
If so, then will their Guangling Palace ever have a chance to succeed?
Nanny Chen sighed imperceptibly.
Forget it, she just protected the princess, and left the rest to the Queen.
Nanny Xiang also lowered her eyes to hide her expression, sighing in her heart.
The two said in unison, "Yes, your majesty."
After Nanny Chen and Nanny Xiang left, Concubine Shu pushed the door open and saw Ying'an playing with her hands boredly on the small bed.
She even blew bubbles from her mouth.
Seeing her mother appear, she raised her lips and smiled, and her big eyes blinked, as if asking for a hug.
Concubine Shu's heart softened instantly, and the uneasiness in her heart was instantly dispelled, and she even felt a little relieved.
Ying'an is fine and safe, which is her greatest comfort.
In this harem, if Ying'an really has the ability she said in her heart, even if someone wants to harm her, with Ying'an's current mind and ability, she can turn danger into safety.
As a mother, she only hopes that Ying'an is safe.
[Mother, hug. 】
Shufei smiled and picked up Ying'an, saying softly: "Ying'an, dear, you have scared Madam Xiang recently. Promise me that you will not do such things in the future. Madam Xiang will be scared. I think Ying'an definitely doesn't want anything to happen to Madam Xiang." Ying'an
pursed her lips, moved her eyes away with a guilty conscience, raised her little hand, tried to touch Shufei's face, but quickly let go.
[Madam Xiang was too alert, I was too late, but I promised me that I would pay attention next time! 】Ying'an
's inner voice rang in Shufei's ears, and she smiled: "Mother's Ying'an is the smartest, he will definitely understand what I say, right?"
Ying'an smiled in Shufei's arms and closed one eye.
It looked like she was throwing a coquettish eye.
Shufei's eyebrows were kneaded together when she smiled.
Gentle, quiet, elegant, and luxurious.
Suddenly, a sharp voice broke the silence in Guangling Palace.
"The Empress Dowager has arrived--"
Concubine Shu paused, and her hand holding Ying'an was a little unsteady.
Wasn't the Empress Dowager always in Changshou Palace worshiping Buddha and praying for the country?
Why did she come to her place today?
She immediately went to greet her, hugged Ying'an and saluted, with a slightly raised voice, back straightened, and said: "Your concubine greets the Empress Dowager, long live the Empress Dowager."
Ying'an's inner voice rang at the same time.
[The Empress Dowager! The Empress Dowager's aunt! As the champion of the last palace fight, she naturally took this palace fight lightly. Although she was dissatisfied with the queen's many actions, she always stood by the queen. In the book, the queen secretly helped the three-person team to kill the mother concubine. Later, the scum father did not pursue it, mostly because of this queen mother. She was a powerful enemy of the queen's camp. The mother concubine was in danger! 】
Shu Fei knelt on the ground, shocked in her heart, but did not do anything else.
The concubines in the harem should be dignified and demure, and not lose their composure in front of the emperor. The rest are all in the back of their minds.
At the same time, the queen mother, who had just walked out of the door, suddenly heard the sound of a baby and stopped.
She suddenly exerted force on the arm of Cheng Lin, the chief eunuch of Changshou Palace.
Cheng Lin felt pain, but he just lowered his head and asked: "Empress Dowager, what's wrong? Are you not feeling well?"
The Empress Dowager frowned and said solemnly: "The child of Concubine Shu is only two months old?"
Cheng Lin nodded and smiled: "Empress Dowager, when Concubine Shu gave birth to the princess, she was taken out of the cold palace. You also asked me to make inquiries. Now the princess is indeed two months old."
"Then did you hear any sound just now?"
The Empress Dowager looked around the corridor and her voice was a little deep.
Cheng Lin secretly turned his head to look at the eunuch behind him, and the eunuch shook his head.
Cheng Lin lowered his eyes: "No, Empress Dowager, winter is coming soon, your body is bound to be unable to bear it, and your headache is getting worse now, do you want to ask the imperial physician to take a look?" The
Empress Dowager lowered her eyes after hearing this, and was deep in thought.
Forget it, maybe she really heard it wrong.
"Then call the imperial physician."
"Yes."
Shufei waited for a long time but did not see the Empress Dowager. The moment she raised her head, she happened to meet the Empress Dowager's eyes.
"Your concubine greets the Empress Dowager, long live the Empress Dowager." The
Empress Dowager's eyes stayed on Ying'an for a moment and then moved away: "Get up."
"Thank you, Empress Dowager."
Shufei hugged Ying'an and stood up, raised her eyes and said lightly: "Your concubine has not seen the Empress Dowager for a long time, how is your health?" The
Empress Dowager stepped forward and put her hand in front of Ying'an.
The voice was faint: "Now I have the prescription from the imperial physician, and I am feeling pretty good. You are so thoughtful."
Concubine Shu lowered her eyes to hide her expression: "It is my duty to honor the Empress Dowager."
Ying'an looked at the Empress Dowager without blinking, feeling quite grateful in her heart.
[The Empress Dowager should be around 40 years old now, but she looks so young and well-maintained. She is worthy of being the previous champion of palace fighting. She is good at everything, but she doesn't help my mother, but helps the Empress. Bad review!]
Ying'an felt good about complaining for a while, but Concubine Shu was afraid of being dragged to the execution ground.
She immediately said: "Empress Dowager, I have prepared snacks and tea in the palace. Would the Empress Dowager want a cup of tea?"
Ying'an's voice was still echoing in the Empress Dowager's ears.
She felt a little dissatisfied in her heart. The empress was the eldest daughter of her Wuya clan, born into a noble family and the mother of the country. Shouldn't she help the empress?
The Queen Mother was about to speak when Ying An's voice rang out again.
[The Queen's children died or miscarried. The author of the story said that this was the bitter fruit of the incestuous marriage between the scumbag father and the Queen. Although there were also disputes among the concubines in the harem, more often than not, the Queen's health would be very poor if she was pregnant with the scumbag father's child, or even lost her life.]
The Queen Mother frowned and looked at Ying An in confusion, her thoughts heavy.
Incestuous marriage?
Isn't this the most perfect solution to the purity of the royal bloodline?
It must be a migraine attack, so the hallucinations appeared.
"Shufei, Concubine Xian is now in power in the palace. The emperor is so obsessed with the affairs of state that he has no interest in state affairs. He is obsessed with the concubines in the harem all day long and dotes on them. As the head of the four concubines and the only concubine in the palace, you are also given the power to assist the six palaces. You should advise the emperor not to be obsessed with women and to put the country first."
Shufei lowered her eyes.
She couldn't even see the emperor for a few times now. It was really difficult for her to advise him not to favor Concubine Xian.
But even though she thought so, Shufei still nodded and said, "Yes, I will follow the instructions of the Empress Dowager."
Ying'an complained in her heart.
[The Empress Dowager couldn't bear that the Empress had lost the Emperor's heart, so she asked my mother to take the lead. The beads of this abacus are all broken on my face. ]
The Empress Dowager glanced at Ying'an, and her eyebrows were full of displeasure.
Even in her hallucinations, she actually disliked Concubine Shu's child.
It seems that she should come to Guangling Palace less often in the future.
But the next moment, Ying'an's voice rang again.
[The Queen Mother's headaches would occur every winter, and her leg joints would ache. In the story, the disease was difficult to cure and she died two years later. Now, judging from her face, this disease can still be cured. ]
