There are not only abandoned concubines in the cold palace, but also some slaves who have made mistakes and were thrown here. If they are often in such an environment, they would have become mentally abnormal long ago.
Ling Yu naturally knew all this. Seeing how pitiful Zhi Xia was, his tone softened, "They are also pitiful people. Their behavior is crazy, but they won't hurt anyone. You should go and have a rest. This cold palace is not safe. Don't come out at night."
After hearing Ling Yu's words, Zhi Xia nodded weakly and stood up, but her legs went weak and she fell backwards. Ling Yu subconsciously pulled her up, but saw the wound on her arm: "I'll still be on duty tomorrow, I'll bring you some medicine for your wound."
"Thank you."
"It's okay, go early."
Zhixia didn't delay any longer and ran all the way to Xi.
When Ling Yu came out of the cold palace, the guards asked, "Guard Ling, what happened in there?"
"Nothing's going on, let's continue patrolling." Ling Yu concealed the matter of Zhi Xia and continued patrolling with his men...
Soon it was time for General Li Lao and Li Mingqian to lead their troops to the border. Li Mucheng and Li Muyuan knew that they could not go with them. Although they were dissatisfied, they could not disobey the emperor's order and had to stay in the capital.
Li Mingqian patted Li Mucheng and Li Muyuan on the shoulders and said, "Don't cause trouble in the capital. If you have any questions, ask Chenyu and Yanqing."
"Dad, don't worry." Li Mucheng suppressed the bitterness in his heart.
Su Chenyu and Baili Yanqing stepped forward and said, "Grandpa, uncle, when you go to the border, you must be careful and take care of yourself."
"Okay!" Li Mingqian mounted his horse, took a last look at the four people, and then rode away with General Li.
Su Chenyu, Baili Yanqing and the Li brothers stood on the city wall, watching General Li and Li Mingqian go away. There was reluctance in their eyes, but they also firmly believed that the family would be reunited sooner or later.
Yan Yuqian went up to the tower and said, "Princess, there's news from the palace that the Queen Mother is unwell, and you are summoned to the palace to take care of her."
"I'll go into the palace with you." Baili Yanqing said.
Su Chenyu shook her head and said, "You are a man. It would be illogical for you to accompany me to the palace to take care of my illness. You should wait for me in the mansion."
Baili Yanqing nodded: "If there is anything, remember to send me a message."
"Um."
Su Chenyu only brought Aunt Xu and Wutong with her when she entered the palace this time. Lingzhi's face-changing surgery was to take place in the next two days, so Su Chenyu asked Yinxing to take care of it, fearing any accidents.
When Su Chenyu arrived at the Empress Dowager's bedroom, Emperor Jing of Wei, Concubine Shu, Concubine Yun and Su Ruian were already guarding by the Empress Dowager's bedside.
The Queen Mother lay in bed, looking sick.
"The Empress Dowager has been vomiting everything she eats recently. She has been in low spirits every day. This old servant feels very distressed when seeing this." Listening to Nanny Gui's words, a barely perceptible irritation flashed in Emperor Jing of Wei's eyes.
The Queen Mother said, "Your Majesty, you are busy with many things, so please don't worry about me. Concubine Yun is pregnant with the heir, so it is inconvenient for her to serve you; Concubine Shu has to take care of the affairs of the harem, so I'm afraid she doesn't have time; Rui'an's body has not recovered yet, so Fengyi will have to trouble you to serve him this time."
This was obviously directed at Su Chenyu, who said, "It is my grandson's duty to serve the Queen Mother."
Seeing that Su Chenyu did not refuse, Emperor Wei Jing felt relieved: "Then you should worry more about it during this period of time."
Su Chenyu looked at the Queen Mother lying on the bed, with a smile that did not reach her eyes: "My grandson will definitely take good care of the Queen Mother and make her recover soon."
For some reason, the Queen Mother felt a chill rising on her back. She tried hard to suppress the uneasiness in her heart. In her own palace, was she still afraid that Su Chenyu would cause trouble?
