Chapter 286 You Have to Sit Still
"But I no longer have the face to see him again. I came here today to say goodbye to you. Please tell him to ignore me, your mother, and not to come to me again."
Her words were decisive, leaving no room for herself at all.
Zhao Yuanxi sighed, "Why are you doing this?"
Ying Zheng did not really punish her, and even chose a separate palace closest to the Xianyang Palace. Fusu did not resent her. After all, in his heart, his mother was a unique existence, and even Zhao Yuanxi could not replace her.
After some time, if she gives in, this matter will be over, right?
"He will live a better life without me." Lady Mi lowered her head. Although she didn't want to admit it, she had indeed become an obstacle to Fusu. Not only could she not protect him, but she had also become the one who hurt him.
Madam Mi looked at her hands, which were trembling slightly.
"Are you sure?" Zhao Yuanxi stood up and pulled her up.
"Do you really think Fusu will be better off without you? The king now has sixteen princes, and there will be more in the future. Fusu is not irreplaceable. If one day he loses the king's favor, do you want him to lose his mother's protection as well?"
"But what can I do!" Lady Mi laughed at herself. When the day comes that Qin attacks Chu, the relationship between Qin and Chu will completely collapse, the so-called marriage will also be broken, and those noble relatives will no longer help her.
“Your existence is your value.”
Zhao Yuanxi has always been more patient with children and women. Madam Mi is in the middle of the situation and can't see through it, so she doesn't mind explaining it to her here.
"The Chu Kingdom will eventually cease to exist. In the future, you will no longer be a so-called princess of the Chu Kingdom, but the wife of the King of Qin. You must occupy this position, whether for your relatives or for Fusu, you must occupy it."
Although the harem was not allowed to interfere in politics, the harem and the former dynasty had never been separated, especially in this era where closeness was often used to determine the closeness of relationships. Even though the Qin State ruled the country by law, all the important ministers around the King of Qin were his confidants. Ability was indeed important, but you also had to find a way to demonstrate your ability to the King of Qin.
Wei Zifu's favor led to the rise of the Wei family and the Huo family, and Wei and Huo made Wei Zifu's favor last for many years.
Zhao Yuanxi didn't want her to work hard to win Ying Zheng's favor, but she had to at least secure her position as a lady.
Ying Zheng would not have a queen, nor would he have an empress later, so the wife would be the highest position in the harem.
"I...why are you telling me this?"
Zhao Yuanxi chuckled, "Because I like Fusu."
Because I like him, I prefer him, and I also hope that his future path will be smoother.
The problem that Lady Mi was worried about was not a big deal at all in Zhao Yuanxi's view. There were countless concubines from the other six countries in Ying Zheng's harem. If Ying Zheng was afraid of their mother's clan, he would not touch them at all. In fact, Ying Zheng did not care about these things.
Those nobles from the six countries who wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble would only be ruthlessly wiped out by him if they showed up.
The real problem is that Lady Mi herself is unwilling to let go.
"If you want to leave, I won't stop you, but I hope you won't do anything that will bring pain to your loved ones and joy to your enemies!"
"I heard that Zheng'er placed you in Lanchi. I don't think it's a good place. You should go live in Liyang Palace! You can do what you want. When you calm down, you can decide whether to come back."
The Orchid Pool is still too close to the Qin Palace. It would be beneficial for everyone to maintain a proper distance at this time.
What's more, everyone in Liyang Palace is hers, including Yongcheng, where many of her people still stay. Madam Mi has enough freedom to do whatever she wants.
Madam Mi didn't care where she went. In fact, she had no plans to come back after she left. She just wanted to go as far away as possible. But when she heard the words "Liyang Palace", her heart couldn't help but skip a beat.
"Go! If you have time, write more letters back. Fusu and Zheng'er will want to see them."
"Thank you, Queen Dowager!" Madam Mi knelt down to express her gratitude.
After watching her leave, You couldn't help but ask, "Empress Dowager, why did you give Liyang Palace to her?"
In You's heart, Liyang Palace is the Queen Mother's territory, and not everyone can step in at will, not to mention that this Madam Mi is really ungrateful.
"That palace was not originally mine." Zhao Yuanxi smiled helplessly. Wasn't Zhao Ji driven from Xianyang by Ying Zheng to live there temporarily? There was no reason why the place would become hers just because she lived there for a few years.
"Besides, I'm not doing this for her, I'm just doing this for Fusu!"
Fusu did not need the support of the Chu nobles, but he needed the presence of his mother.
"What if she can't get over it?"
Madam Mi's behavior just now didn't seem like she was coming to say goodbye, but rather to leave her last words. You was worried that if she died in Liyang Palace, wouldn't that add another sad thing to the Queen Mother and Prince Fusu?
Zhao Yuanxi smiled: "No."
After all, Madam Mi was overthinking because she had too much free time. Going to Yongcheng would make her more busy and she would have no time to think about other messy things.
In the side hall of Qionghua Palace, Hu Bazi touched his bulging belly and said, "My dear, that woman from Qionghua Palace is gone. When you are born, we will probably be able to move in!"
Today, people were moving things in and out of the main hall. Hu Bazi looked at the main hall which was becoming emptier and emptier, her eyes full of pride. She had just instigated Mi Ying casually, and that stupid woman couldn't help but attack Fusu. It was a pity that even after this, the king didn't abolish her position.
Humph, so what if she is the Princess of Chu? She is still like a stray dog.
"Bazi, it's windy outside, you'd better go in!" The palace maid didn't understand what was so interesting about moving things. Bazi's belly was almost five months old. If she accidentally bumped or hit something, their lives would not be enough to compensate.
After watching for a while, Hu Bazi felt bored and returned to the palace with the help of the palace maid.
"Bazi, this is today's pregnancy-maintaining medicine."
Hu Bazi couldn't help feeling nauseous when she smelled the medicine. She bent over and began to dry heave. She hadn't eaten anything today and only vomited out sour water.
She knocked the medicine over and said angrily, "What's the point of drinking this?"
Ever since she found out she was pregnant, the symptoms of morning sickness never stopped. When the imperial physician came, he prescribed medicine for her, but the medicine was of no use at all. Instead, it made her lose her appetite even more.
The maid knelt down quickly and said, "Eighth Master, calm down."
"What's going on? I can hear all that banging noise from so far away?" Zhao Gao walked in with a smile. Seeing the broken porcelain pieces on the ground, he scolded, "Foolish thing, why don't you clean these up? If they hurt my Eighth Son, can you bear the consequences?"
