Madam Fanghua naturally had no objection, and Xing Bang also knew that Queen Xiao did this on purpose because in Queen Xiao's heart he was her own.
Queen Xiao pointed to the lake. As the queen, she was naturally as familiar with the Qingliang Palace as she was with the back garden.
"I've never been to the lakeside pavilion in this season. The weather is nice today, so why don't we go there to enjoy the view..."
"Okay, I'll do as the Queen's nurse says!"
Madam Fanghua agreed, and then the two of them walked side by side in front, Xing Bang followed behind, and the three of them walked towards the lake.
There was only one small boat and there was nothing to be particular about. The two beautiful women did not care at all and got on the boat happily.
The job of rowing the boatman naturally fell to Xing Bang.
No wonder Queen Xiao didn't bring anyone else with her. It turned out that she had planned to go to the pavilion in the center of the lake.
After the two of them finished, Xing Bang rolled up his sleeves and started rowing forward.
"Sister, I congratulate you in advance. Your Majesty has shown such great favor. I'm afraid it won't be long before you can return to the palace."
Queen Xiao spoke first.
"Your Highness, you are joking. Fanghua is a guilty person. How could she possibly return to the palace again?"
Hearing this, Empress Xiao chuckled and said, "Whether I am guilty or not is just a matter of a word from Your Majesty." Her tone was obviously much stronger than before.
Yes, as long as they were not in front of Liu Xian, she naturally wouldn't have too many concerns when the three of them were together.
What's more, Xing Bang was still someone she thought was her own.
"That is also your Majesty's business. Fanghua doesn't dare to have such extravagant hopes. I just hope Hui'er can be safe. Then there will be nothing to regret in this life."
Madam Fanghua's words seemed to be tactful and low-key, but in fact, she was also retreating to advance. If Liu Hui was safe, then he would naturally become the emperor smoothly...
"Sister, you are joking. The prince is the heir apparent and the future emperor. He will be safe and sound. It seems that your personality has changed drastically after being in that torture chamber. You have become a worrier."
Queen Xiao could naturally guess the true meaning behind Madam Fanghua's words, and she would never believe that she would just accept her fate like that.
They are all mothers. They will never give up for their sons even if there is only a glimmer of hope or no matter how dangerous the situation is. I don’t believe that Madam Fanghua will be an exception.
"Maybe, but the torture chamber is really quiet. At least I can get a good night's sleep."
"Haha, my sister said that. I am curious and want to go and see it myself."
The two women were talking to each other, and Madam Fanghua was not to be outdone. Every word she said was full of mystery.
I didn’t want to fight before because I wanted to be down-to-earth. Now I have to fight, not because I don’t understand these things.
"I heard that this servant took good care of you. I also saw that my sister looked very good. I really have to reward him with something on my sister's behalf one day."
As Empress Xiao spoke, she brought up Xing Bang, but Madam Fanghua just chuckled and said nothing.
Keeping silent is also a kind of answer. Everyone knows what your queen means by "care", so don't pretend to be so.
"Little stick, try to slide faster!"
"Yes, madam."
After a while of silence, Queen Xiao suddenly urged, "Xing Bang has been rowing without slowing down, it's really strange...
Then Empress Xiao chuckled, "Fanghua, ah Fanghua, when I think about it carefully, I really envy your good fortune. Not only am I not as good as you, but all the concubines in the harem are not as lucky as you."
Madam Fanghua frowned slightly, and Xing Bang also felt that the atmosphere was not right.
Empress Xiao continued, "You may be confused and don't understand, or you may not even think about these questions, but I will explain them to you today.
I gave birth to your majesty's eldest son, who has grown up and is loved by your majesty. Everyone in the world knows that he will be the future emperor, but... he suddenly fell ill..." When she said this, Empress Xiao's eyes were slightly red and she choked up a little.
She let out a long sigh and continued, "After that, the other concubines gave birth to several princes for Your Majesty, but all of them died young and none of them grew up. Then, God showed mercy and let me give birth to the Sixth Prince. Even though Jing'er had been naughty since he was a child and Your Majesty was always worried, Your Majesty had no heirs for so many years, and Your Majesty was about to make Jing'er the crown prince, but you gave birth to Liu Hui for Your Majesty..."
"To be honest, your Liu Hui is indeed smarter than my Jing'er. Tell me, Fanghua, is what I just said right? Are you the most fortunate woman in the harem?"
“I’ve never really thought about this…”
Madam Fanghua smiled bitterly. There was nothing wrong with these things. She knew very well that the Queen hated her and her son, but she had always repaid evil with kindness. Sometimes she even didn't want her son to be the crown prince, as long as he could live a peaceful life.
However, she had no choice but to protect herself as much as possible. She never thought about fighting the queen to the death, so she would never think about these problems.
Xing Bang could also see how much resentment Queen Xiao had in her heart. She thought about these things all day long. She was full of jealousy.
"Of course you didn't think about it, because you are the biggest winner. Even if you are trapped in the violent room, it is because His Majesty has high expectations for your son and does not really hate you. Otherwise, why would he bring the prince to this place and let you and your son meet? It is really well-intentioned. How could he be so attentive to me and Jing'er?"
Queen Xiao was filled with rage, and if possible, she really wanted to kill Madam Fanghua with her own hands.
"Empress, did you call me here just to vent your anger?"
"That's right. Are you scared? Don't be afraid. Don't worry. It's broad daylight. I can't possibly eat you."
"I'm not afraid, I just think there's no point in discussing these issues. If the Queen isn't here to enjoy the view, then let's go back."
Madam Fanghua was extremely reluctant to engage in verbal dispute with Empress Xiao.
"Go back? I have the final say here. Ask this little Korean guy, if I don't say anything, would he dare to turn back?"
Queen Xiao sneered again. I let you escape in the torture chamber because His Majesty was protecting you, so I couldn't do anything to you. But now that I'm here, I can't vent the anger in my heart. I can't swallow it if I don't vent it.
Madam Fanghua glanced at Xing Bang and knew that she couldn't go back now, as that would cause trouble for him.
"Well, Queen, you can tell me whatever you want. There's no one else here anyway, and no one will tell His Majesty..."
Madam Fanghua knew very well that this was what Empress Xiao was thinking, which was why she was so unscrupulous and said whatever she wanted.
Xing Bang naturally couldn't say much at this time, so it was better to wait and see what happened.
Seeing that Madam Fanghua had compromised, Empress Xiao pointed at Xing Bang and said, "Do you know who he is?"
