Chi Mu was somewhat helpless. People who had never had a close relationship with the Empress Dowager naturally thought that she was extremely intelligent and would never resort to fooling around with her own life.
And that is the fact.
"I have been following the Empress Dowager since I was a child. To the Empress Dowager, I am just a man from another family. On the contrary, Bao An is more in her heart, so she has always been very sincere to Yong An."
I didn't expect the gap between me and Princess Yong'an when I was being raised by the Empress Dowager.
Chi Mu naturally felt a little unfair.
But those things have long passed, and no matter how much unhappiness there is in your heart, it can now disappear.
"I never cared about these things. On the contrary, when I grew up, I felt that the Queen Mother's life in the palace was not easy, so I didn't want to bring any trouble to her. Instead, I set up my own business. Over the years, I have tried my best and used all my talents just to let the Queen Mother know that I can be independent."
I still remember when I was young, the Empress Dowager always said that as a woman, Princess Yong'an only needed to find a suitable husband's family who would treat her as their own daughter.
But for him, it's much more complicated.
Whenever talking about these things, Chi Mu always wanted to fight for himself, but as long as he said a few words, the Empress Dowager's face turned unhappy. Over time, he stopped fighting for himself.
"I thought... the Queen Mother seemed very concerned. I didn't expect that you were ostracized by the Queen Mother when you were young. But even so, you can't frame the Queen Mother and say that all this was her own fault."
The antidote for the poison in the Empress Dowager's body has never been found, and the people in the hospital have not taken any preventive measures. What kind of person dares to be so cruel to himself? Isn't he afraid that it will really cost him his life?
"The Queen Mother is not as simple as you think. If I am not mistaken, this time the Queen Mother wants to... force Your Majesty to submit and let Your Majesty let me go to Jiangnan."
"Let you go to Jiangnan?"
Shen Yuerong was a little confused. After all, his previous itinerary, heading to Jiangnan, was all approved by His Majesty.
"If it weren't for the things the prince's gang did, I would have no problem traveling to Jiangnan. But now there are many of the prince's lackeys in Jiangnan. If I insist on going to Jiangnan, it would be no different from me personally delivering myself to the prince."
And the emperor will definitely not stand idly by.
"His Majesty hopes that I can stay in the capital and work with the Crown Prince to influence each other. This way, no matter the Prime Minister or other officials in the capital, they will not easily take sides, and naturally the Crown Prince's position will not remain stable."
Although the outcome was already determined, the current emperor would never allow others to covet his position in this way.
What's more, he held great power, and he and the prince dared to do these things under his nose, and even almost caused his death in Jiangnan.
"But if... you were allowed to return to Jiangnan, clean up all those corrupt officials, make the prince's minions disappear there, and give the people of Jiangnan a peaceful life, wouldn't that be better?"
Shen Yuerong felt that the emperor made a wrong move.
"Jiangnan is prosperous. Even though it suffered this flood, according to previous developments, it will return to its peak in a few years. By that time, naturally everyone wants to be the master of Jiangnan, and the prince is no exception. The emperor wants to leave Jiangnan to the prince."
Shen Yuerong was a bit troubled by these matters in the court.
"I don't understand your twists and turns. I just want to ask you one thing. Do I want to cure the Queen Mother's illness? Do I want to remove the remaining poison?"
Chi Mu looked at her and said, "You decide. If you can't help yourself, just do what you want to do. As for the rest, leave it to me. I will definitely handle everything for you."
Although Shen Yuerong was very confident in leaving her back to Chi Mu.
After saying these words, he said he had other things to do in the palace, so he left first.
Shen Yuerong. I also knew that he must have his own things to do, otherwise he would never leave here in such a hurry, so I didn't care too much about it. Instead, I told him not to be too anxious and just take care of his own things.
When Chi Mu was away, Shen Yuerong was also looking through the medical book. However, there was no record of the Queen Mother being poisoned.
Shen Yuerong found it a little unbelievable. This was based on her father's research on many medical books from ancient times to the present. There was no way that there would be poisonous substances that were not recorded in them.
What went wrong?
At this moment, Shen Yuerong didn't want to dwell on who had poisoned the queen mother. What did she want by poisoning her?
I just want to be a doctor, to use my own hands and all the knowledge I have to save the patients in front of me from danger.
Although Chi Mu warned her more than once that the palace was dangerous and she should not go if she could.
But after all, I was still a little worried about the Queen Mother's health.
All her rationality was finally broken by her emotions, and in the end she still carried Chi Mu on her back. Went to see the Queen Mother.
I just didn’t expect to meet Yongan here today.
"Meet the Queen Mother, meet Princess Yong'an."
Yongan saw Shen Yuerong and spoke quickly. "Mother just blamed my brother for not coming to see you, but look at my brother. Although he is busy with work and can't come to take care of you in person, I have already decided on my future sister-in-law, but I came to ask for your pulse again."
"Your brother's mind is full of court affairs, not for His Majesty and the Crown Prince. Speaking of this matter, Yongan is even more angry. The Queen Mother, she wants to make the decision for your brother. Your brother has worked so hard in the past, just to be careful and let those people have a home. But the Crown Prince is really absurd and almost killed your brother."
"He killed your brother?"
I understand that the Empress Dowager was not aware of this matter. I never thought from the beginning to the end that the Emperor and the Crown Prince had already wanted to kill Chi Mu.
“Nothing like that.”
Shen Yuerong was afraid that Yongan would make these things bigger and bigger, so she quickly took over the topic.
"No matter how courageous the prince is, he would never want to kill him. It was a case he was in charge of before, which involved people from the underworld. He handled it carelessly, allowing some people to slip through the net. He originally disdained to fight with them, but he didn't expect that they would follow him to Jiangnan today."
"He is a very cautious kid. How could he have let something slip through the net?"
The Queen Mother was somewhat puzzled, for he had always been the type of person who would rather kill a hundred people by mistake than let a single person go.
