Fortunately, the imperial physician arrived in time and stabilized the Queen Mother's condition, otherwise the Queen Mother would have been angered to death by Prince Xiang.
Murong Yue heard that the Queen Mother had fallen ill again. She narrowed her eyes slightly and said, "God is really helping me!"
Not long after, Murong Yue was seen taking some things to the empress dowager's bedroom. The empress dowager was lying sick in bed at this time, and her face was so pale that it was a little scary.
The Queen Mother's chamber was filled with the scent of medicine. Murong Yue smelled the pungent smell as she entered, and couldn't help but frown. Although she felt very disgusted in her heart, her face didn't show it at all. "Your Highness, A Yue heard that the Queen Mother was ill, but she never thought she was so seriously ill. A Yue and her son made some ginseng chicken soup for the Queen Mother, hoping that she would recover soon."
As soon as these words were spoken, the Queen Mother's expression changed immediately. She looked at Murong Yue kindly, "I'm really sorry to have embarrassed you, Princess. It's all because of my poor discipline that you ended up like this!"
Murong Yue was smart enough to say nothing. She took out the ginseng chicken soup that she had prepared long ago and wanted to feed it to the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother politely declined, "I can do it myself."
Hearing this, Murong Yue was happy to have some free time. She handed the bowl and spoon to the Queen Mother and watched her finish the bowl of ginseng chicken soup.
Originally, the Queen Mother had no appetite, but Murong Yue personally made chicken soup for her, so she had to give her some face and drank the whole bowl.
"If the Queen Mother likes to drink it, then Ah Yue should bring her ginseng chicken soup every day in the future to nourish her body." Murong Yue met the Queen Mother, drank all the ginseng chicken soup, smiled sweetly at her, and looked very harmless.
The Queen Mother had tasted all sorts of delicacies, and a mere bowl of chicken soup was always available in the Imperial Kitchen as long as she wanted it. Why would she need Murong Yue? "The Princess is delicate and frail. From now on, let the servants do this kind of rough work! It won't tire her out."
"What are you talking about, Queen Mother? Ah Yue doesn't have any hobbies, but she has a special liking for cooking. It is Ah Yue's blessing to be able to do something for the Queen Mother. How could Ah Yue feel tired?" Murong Yue lowered her head shyly. Anyone who saw her would think that this was the best candidate for daughter-in-law, and the Queen Mother was no exception.
But she knew very well what kind of person Prince Xiang was, so she could only push Murong Yue towards Yuwen Ran.
"Princess, you are so polite. I would be very satisfied if I could have such a filial daughter." The Queen Mother sighed and couldn't help but think of Prince Xiang again.
The two of them then exchanged some bland words, which were nothing more than Murong asking the Queen Mother to take good care of herself, and the two of them exchanged some pleasantries.
But after Murong Yue left, the empress dowager became a little dispirited and felt sleepy.
When the empress dowager woke up again, the room was full of people, and Yuwen Ran and Gu Yanyue were already talking to the imperial physician outside.
"The Empress Dowager is too weak to benefit from nourishment. She needs to eat more light food these days and avoid taking too much tonic!" the imperial physician advised.
Gu Yanyue nodded and said, "Okay, Madam Japan will pay attention to the Queen Mother's diet during this period."
After sending the imperial physician away, Yuwen Ran and Gu Yanyue went to see the Queen Mother again. A troubled look appeared on the Queen Mother's face. "What's wrong with Aijia?"
"There's nothing serious with your mother's health. She just needs to take good care of herself." Yuwen Ran stepped forward and comforted the empress dowager.
Gu Yanyue didn't say anything, but nodded in agreement.
The Queen Mother then sighed, "What a sin! What wrong did I do in my previous life? To have such an unfilial son in this life!"
Yuwen Ran and Gu Yanyue tactfully kept silent. They gave some instructions to the empress dowager and the palace maids around her before leaving.
Soon, Gu Yanyue started collecting dandelions and bitter melons in the palace. These things were usually despised, and even poor families would not eat them. How could they be found in the imperial palace?
But Gu Yanyue actually sent people to search outside the palace. This news reached Murong Yue's ears. Murong Yue snorted coldly and looked at the horizon. It seemed that she saw Gu Yanyue at the same time. Hatred welled up in her eyes. "She is just a bitch who doesn't know her own limitations. If she really dared to present those things to the Queen Mother, she would definitely punish her. It would be a case of reaping what she sowed."
The personal maid behind her didn't say anything, just stood there blankly, listening to Murong say a bunch of slanderous words about Gu Yanyue. Although the princess was usually a little arrogant and unreasonable, she had never killed anyone. When did she become so vicious?
When Murong Yue went to the palace again, Gu Yanyue was cooking in the kitchen. The things in the kitchen were the dandelions and bitter melons that she had sent people to find before. Murong Yue couldn't help but sneer, "You won't give these things to the Queen Mother like this, right?"
"Why not?" Gu Yanyue responded lightly without raising her head.
Murong Yue felt ignored, and a surge of anger shot up in her heart. "Why would the Queen Mother eat something that even pigs wouldn't eat? Did you think she was sick? Are you deliberately making things difficult for her?"
"I think it's the princess who has ill intentions towards the Queen Mother!" Gu Yanyue glanced at the ginseng chicken soup that Murong Yue was holding, and the look in her eyes darkened.
Murong Yue retorted loudly, "How could this princess possibly harm the Queen Mother? Stop trying to sow discord here!"
"Sowing discord? Do I need such a low-brow trick? The Queen Mother is weak right now, and the princess brings her chicken soup every day to nourish her. The Queen Mother is now even more irritable and has nosebleeds every day. This is all thanks to the princess. What else do you have to say?"
Gu Yanyue snorted coldly and turned to fiddle with her own dishes.
After hearing what Gu Yanyue said, Murong Yue felt a little uneasy. She just wanted to please the Queen Mother but had never thought about the consequences.
"So what? You are sending these things that even pigs won't eat to the Queen Mother, which is a crime you deserve to die for!" Murong Yue knew that she was in the wrong, so she turned her attention to the bitter melon.
"I think it's okay." Yu Wenran appeared at the kitchen door at some point and spoke for Gu Yanyue.
Murong Yue's expression suddenly turned ugly. "How could the Queen Mother possibly eat these things? They are so disgusting and shabby."
"Why can't I eat it? If it exists, there must be a reason for its existence." Yu Wenran disagreed and actually washed his hands to help Gu Yanyue.
Murong Yue couldn't believe her eyes. The jealousy in her heart could no longer be suppressed and burst out. "If the Queen Mother is really willing to eat these things, this princess will give up the marriage and return immediately."
"Then Princess, you have to watch carefully." Gu Yanyue's expression was indifferent as she continued to fiddle with the things in her hands.
