Chapter 212: Brotherly Hatred
But she couldn't tell exactly what was wrong.
In short, ever since Xie Yumin appeared, Shen Ningyuan's condition began to become abnormal.
"Yuan'er, what's wrong with you?" Cui Jin asked in a low voice.
Shen Ningyuan shook her head, "Mom, I'm fine."
Hearing this tone, Shen Ningyuan had no intention of speaking anymore.
At this time, Xie Yumin had already walked to a place not far away from the Queen Mother and bowed to her.
"Your son greets the Imperial Grandmother and the Imperial Father."
"Well, you're welcome, family."
When Queen Mother Cui saw Xie Yumin appear, she couldn't stop smiling.
After Xie Yumin stood up straight, Queen Mother Cui continued to ask: "I heard that since you were crowned king and went to Lingnan, Lingnan has been governed by you and has become very prosperous. The people do not lock their doors at night. Is this true?"
Xie Yumin smiled and responded, "Grandmother, what the outside world says is too exaggerated. I am just doing my best to make the people of Lingnan live a better life."
His attitude is neither humble nor arrogant, and he is very likable.
Queen Mother Cui did not expect that in just a few years, her timid grandson would change so much.
So, Queen Mother Cui looked at Xie Yumin with a look of relief in her eyes.
When everyone saw this scene, their minds started to become active again.
From the looks of it, Prince Min seems to be very much liked by the Emperor and the Queen Mother.
Doesn't that mean that the court is about to start a reshuffle?
When Xie Wanzhou was deposed before, they were all wondering to whom His Majesty would pass the throne.
But after many years, His Majesty has not made any move.
Now it seems that it is to wait for King Min to return?
While everyone was guessing, the sound of a wheelchair turning was heard.
Xie Wanzhou was sitting in a wheelchair and was pushed into the hall by the guards.
Everyone looked over, their expressions were even more complicated than before.
As soon as King Min appeared, the former crown prince rushed over.
This atmosphere... this atmosphere, seems to be a little wrong.
Only Shen Ningyuan had her eyes fixed on Xie Yumin since he appeared.
When Xie Wanzhou came in, she could clearly feel that Xie Yumin's body stiffened for a moment.
After entering the hall, Xie Wanzhou said nothing. He just found a place to sit down and ate his vegetarian meal quietly.
This strange scene surprised everyone.
Did Xie Wanzhou suddenly show up just to eat this vegetarian meal?
Strangely, after Xie Wanzhou appeared, Empress Dowager Cui's expression turned very bad.
He couldn't stay any longer and stood up with a gloomy face.
"I am a little tired. I will go back to my bedroom to rest first."
Having said that, without waiting for anyone's response, he walked towards the side hall.
Shen Ningyuan's face darkened. Did the Queen Mother seem to dislike Xie Wanzhou?
After she left, the atmosphere around became weird.
As if he had noticed something, Xie Wanzhou looked at Shen Ningyuan calmly and gave her a look.
Shen Ningyuan's heart moved, and she always felt that Xie Wanzhou's eyes seemed to imply something.
"Father, why did the Empress Dowager pass away suddenly?" Xie Yumin suddenly asked.
When asking this, his eyes swept towards Xie Wanzhou.
It clearly told everyone that Queen Mother Cui disliked Xie Wanzhou and didn't even want to look at him.
After Xie Yumin finished speaking, Xie Wanzhou raised his eyes coldly and looked straight at Xie Yumin.
The latter remained unmoved, and calmly glanced at Xie Lixuan, pretending not to see Xie Wanzhou's gaze.
Xie Lixuan picked up the teacup and took a sip, his eyes moving between Xie Wanzhou and Xie Yumin.
After many years, the relationship between Xie Yumin and Xie Wanzhou has become even more strained.
Thinking of this, Xie Lixuan said in a deep voice: "No, your grandmother is old, and it's normal for her to want to rest early after sitting for a long time."
"Oh, so that's how it is. I thought that the Empress Dowager was suddenly in a bad mood, so she went back."
Xie Yumin continued to speak.
Yet there was still a sharp edge in his words.
All the words implied that Empress Dowager Cui disliked Xie Wanzhou.
Shen Ningyuan couldn't help but wonder why the Queen Mother didn't like Xie Wanzhou?
After Xie Yumin finished speaking, seeing that no one responded to his words, he coughed twice, then turned his gaze to Xie Wanzhou and asked with a half-smile, "Brother, I haven't seen you for a few years. Is your leg still not healed?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the surroundings suddenly became quiet, and the atmosphere was even more tense than before.
Shen Ningyuan frowned.
She knew Xie Yumin did it on purpose.
He deliberately lifted Xie Wanzhou's leg as soon as he came up, clearly trying to embarrass him.
For a moment, everyone's eyes were focused on Xie Wanzhou, waiting to see how he would respond.
Shen Ningyuan also looked at Xie Wanzhou, curious about what he would say next.
However, to Shen Ningyuan's surprise, Xie Wanzhou did not react at all to Xie Yumin's public exposure of his shortcomings. His face remained as calm as water without a ripple.
He patted his leg, looked at Xie Yumin with a smile and said, "Seventh brother is really worried about this leg, but don't worry, when you get better, I will come to you step by step."
Shen Ningyuan's brows tightened, and she vaguely realized that Xie Wanzhou also had something else to say.
Xie Yumin also wore a calm smile, looked at Xie Wanzhou and said: "Okay, when the day comes that your leg recovers, I will definitely give you a big gift."
Xie Wanzhou immediately responded, "Seventh brother has not returned to the capital for many years, and the emperor has prepared a great gift for you."
"Oh? What is it?" Xie Yumin raised his eyebrows.
Xie Wanzhou's eyes flashed with coldness, and he said in a cold tone: "Don't worry, you will know soon."
