148 The Queen Mother is Sick
After all, the young lady's parents had both passed away, and her uncles and aunts had to divide the family property, so they did have a hard time for a while.
I can’t even finish the rice, let alone the chicken soup.
Xing'er actually felt a little bit resentful towards the young lady for her actions today.
The reason why Li Yunran felt uncomfortable was also because the servants in the mansion were becoming more and more casual in their attitude towards her.
Ever since the incident with Xiao Tingyun, Xu Jinlan had become much more estranged from her, and her life in the mansion had become even more difficult.
Usually, Xu Jinlan would still remember something about her.
Now, let alone remembering her, it’s good enough that you didn’t step on her in person.
Xing'er sighed, lowered her head and started packing up her things. Such good chicken soup was wasted like that.
…
Yanhua Hall
Zhang Quanfu heard a piece of news from outside, his brows furrowed, and he immediately went into Yanhua Palace.
"Your Majesty, someone from Yongshou Palace said that the Queen Mother is ill."
Pei Yuning paused while reviewing the memorials, then returned to normal and asked without looking up, "Is the imperial physician here yet?"
"Director Zhang has already gone to see it."
"What do you mean?"
Zhang Quanfu was too afraid to breathe. "They say it's a headache, caused by depression in the heart."
"Da" the letter was covered and thrown aside, and Pei Yuning opened another one.
However, that voice made Zhang Quanfu's heart tremble.
"I understand. Go down." Pei Yuning said lightly.
Zhang Quanfu was surprised. Your Majesty, isn't going to go see the Empress Dowager?
How long have these two mother and son been in a stalemate...
Perhaps Zhang Quanfu had been thinking for too long. Pei Yuning raised his head from the memorial and glanced at him, "Anything else?"
"No, it's okay. I'll take my leave." Zhang Quanfu shook his head hurriedly and quickly retreated.
So that your anger won’t be directed at him.
When I went out, I took another look and felt that His Majesty was really diligent and steady. At this time, he was as steady as a rock and did not change his expression.
It was not until Zhang Quanfu retreated out of the hall that Pei Yuning, who had been writing all the time, suddenly put down his pen.
Just stay there quietly, the smoke from the incense in the incense burner wafting up, shaking the person's face.
Pei Yuning took off the beads from her wrist and slowly rolled over them one by one. The sound of "da, da, da..." was heard.
Zhang Quanfu outside sighed, what kind of thing is this...
"What's wrong with you, Eunuch Zhang?" Li Ming asked.
Zhang Quanfu glanced at him unhappily, "You don't understand."
"I understand once you tell me."
Zhang Quanfu shook his head pretentiously, "You wouldn't understand even if I told you."
Li Ming: …
Having said all this, it seems as if nothing was said. What a waste of effort!
Li Ming folded his arms, leaned against the pillar, and muttered softly: Forget it.
Not long after, Zhang Quanfu heard someone calling him in again.
Zhang Quanfu straightened his face and then walked in quickly.
As soon as I came in, I heard his Majesty say, "Go to Yongshou Palace!"
Zhang Quanfu responded subconsciously, "Yes."
When everyone had already stood up, he was stunned.
Why did you suddenly change your temper this time? It seems that there is indeed something in the box. How about letting Your Majesty bow his head first? ?
However, he was also happy to see His Majesty go to Yongshou Palace from the courtyard. After all, he was just a messenger, and it was not easy for him to be caught between two superiors.
The best thing is that the two of them get along harmoniously, so that the people below don't have to be embarrassed and live in fear all day long, fearing that their lives might be lost.
Zhang Quanfu immediately smiled and followed closely behind.
When we arrived at Yongshou Palace, it was quiet inside.
Pei Yuning exempted the palace maids from the formalities and went straight into the bedroom.
Nanny Fu was serving at the patient's side, and Dean Zhang prescribed some tranquilizing soup and some prescriptions for treating headaches.
However, the medicine was cooled and then heated up again, and the Empress Dowager still refused to drink it.
"Your Majesty, please drink some. You will get better after taking the medicine." Aunt Fu advised earnestly.
How can you not take medicine when you are sick? Even young people can't bear it, let alone the Empress Dowager who is old.
The Queen Mother looked weak and pale. She held her head and whispered, "I don't want to drink."
"If you don't take the medicine, your headache will get worse. What should I do? Your health is more important!"
The Queen Mother closed her eyes helplessly, "What's the point of worrying about whether your body is safe or not? No one cares about you. It's better to die early."
"Pah, pah, pah! Don't say such discouraging words. You are the most distinguished person in this palace. Who dares not to care?"
The Queen Mother said nothing and refused silently.
Who dares not to care? That bastard in Yanhua Palace doesn't care!
Seeing that she could not persuade him, Nanny Fu asked the palace maid to bring the medicine down and heat it up.
The maid was carrying medicine when she bumped into someone. Her face changed drastically, "Your Majesty..."
Pei Yuning waved his hand to let her go down, and the palace maid nodded hesitantly and went down.
Nanny Fu was about to try to persuade her when she caught a glimpse of His Majesty from the corner of her eye.
"His Majesty."
The Queen Mother paused with her hand supporting her forehead.
"Your son pays his respects to your mother," Pei Yuning said respectfully.
"Get up." The Queen Mother did not change her movements and did not even look at him.
Pei Yuning straightened up and sat opposite the man.
"I heard that your mother was ill, so I came to visit her."
The Queen Mother only hummed, and all her expressions of peace and anxiety were insincere anyway.
Pei Yuning asked again, "Why don't you use the medicine that Dean Zhang prescribed for you?"
Nanny Fu was overjoyed when she heard this, and hoped that the Queen would listen to His Majesty's words.
Otherwise, what if something bad happens to the disease?
The Queen Mother opened her eyes slightly, and her head was throbbing with pain.
"It's just like that whether you use it or not."
"You have to take care of yourself, after all, Da Qi can't do without you."
The Queen Mother turned her head sharply, stared at him and asked, "What do you mean by that?"
What does it mean that Da Qi can't live without her?
Pei Yuning didn't answer.
The Queen Mother raised her voice again, "Tell me! You came here today just to see if I'm dead or not, right?!"
"If he doesn't die, I'll give him another blow! That way he won't have to go to the doctor for treatment!"
Upon hearing this, Aunt Fu's face changed suddenly and she knelt down immediately.
Zhang Quanfu guessed one thing about Pei Yuning correctly, that is, he was able to remain calm. Even when the empress dowager secretly scolded him for being unfilial in public, he remained calm and just sat there as usual.
"I dare not." He just pleaded for mercy in a perfunctory manner and said nothing else.
The Queen Mother felt like her brain was about to explode, "You, you..."
She thought he was very daring!
Now you dare to come and threaten her!
She even doubted whether he was her own son!
"Your son only hopes that you live a thousand years, be safe and sound, and see your descendants for a long time. Why are you angry?" Pei Yuning kindly reminded her.
The Queen Mother became even angrier, but Nanny Fu did hear a hint of something else.
"Get out! Get back to your Yanhua Palace!" The Queen Mother looked at him impatiently. She thought that seeing him would shorten her life. What about living a thousand years? I'm afraid that would only make her die shorter!
Pei Yuning's dark eyes flashed with a hint of darkness, and he stood up calmly, "Since the queen mother wants to rest, then I will not disturb your rest."
After saying this, he stood up and left Yongshou Palace.
Aunt Fu stood up after seeing the people leave, "Madam..."
The Queen Mother frowned, "Listen to what he said! He is simply cursing me..."
Nanny Fu interrupted, "Your Majesty, His Majesty seemed to have other intentions just now..."
"What's the meaning?"
She couldn't tell what he meant by that. She just thought he was cursing her descendants to have a short life, and she would have to look after them for generations.
