The Empress Dowager's return to the capital was a major event, but because the Emperor was seriously ill at the time, no welcoming banquet was held for her.
Of course, she herself had no intention of doing these superficial things.
She was worried about the emperor's safety and her eyes had never been dry since she came back.
In order to prevent her from having excessive thoughts and getting hurt, Song Qingxue had to stay in the palace and accompany her every day.
When Mo Weixin saw the Queen Mother being so close to her, she had a bad feeling.
Xiahou Chongyuan already treats this woman very differently. If the Queen Mother approves of her, how should Mo Weixin cope with the future?
This can't go on any longer!
For the time being, Mo Weixin cannot be too close to Xiahou Chongyuan openly, so she can only improve her favorability with the Queen Mother first.
She and the Queen Mother had also been together in Dafoshan for more than half a year, so she had a good idea of her temperament.
The Queen Mother was kind and gentle. She disliked women who were arrogant and domineering. And Song Qingxue...
In Mo Weixin's impression, she is still the arrogant, domineering and unreasonable young lady. Even though she has changed a little now, she believes that one's nature cannot be changed.
As long as she uses a little trick, Song Qingxue's true colors will be exposed!
Mo Weixin had some thoughts in her mind, but on the surface she acted friendly and called Song Qingxue a sister.
As for the Queen Mother, the situation was not too bad because Song Qingxue and Mo Weixin were there to comfort her.
However, there was no progress on the matter of the emperor's poisoning for several days.
Xiahou Le began to get anxious and wanted to resolve the problem as soon as possible. Xiahou Jun was also worried.
"Waste! All of you waste!"
Xiahou Chun slammed the table in frustration, then flipped the teapot and teacups on the table to the ground.
The "crackling" sound scared several people in the room so much that their faces turned pale.
"Third Prince, calm down!"
"Calm down, calm down! You bunch of trash only know how to say calm down! What use do I have for you!" Xiahou Jun pointed at the noses of several people and cursed.
The people in the room were all ministers with great say in the court. They were wooed by Xiahou Chun earlier, but they have not played any role so far.
They finally managed to weaken the little emperor's health, but when it was their turn to take action, they were beaten back by the regent in just a few words in the hall.
"waste!"
Xiahou Chun was so angry that he cursed again.
At this moment, Zhao Wanqiu, who was standing behind him, suddenly spoke up, "Don't worry, Third Prince."
Hearing this, Xiahou Jun calmed down a little and turned around and asked, "Do you have any good ideas?"
"If the Regent refuses to give up power, then we'll start from his backyard!"
"Oh?" Xiahou Jun narrowed his eyes, as if thinking about something.
Zhao Wanqiu subconsciously stroked her cheek and said with a smile, "Third Prince, do you think Princess Changle and the Regent are a good match?"
Xiahou Chun frowned slightly, "Don't play dumb."
"I mean, to win over Princess Changle."
"To win her over?"
Zhao Wanqiu said: "Marquis Anding is a piece of fat meat."
Xiahou Chun thought about it and was even more puzzled. "You want to win over Princess Changle, but why do you ask her whether she is a good match for the Regent? If she marries the Regent, how can Marquis Anding form an alliance with us?"
The power of Anding Hou is indeed not small, if he can win them over, it will be great. But if he follows what Zhao Wanqiu said and brings Princess Changle and the Regent together, then Anding Hou will only side with Prince Shezheng!
Xiahou Chongyuan was already extremely powerful, and with the addition of a general's mansion, he was already under tremendous pressure.
At this time, Zhao Wanqiu actually had the intention of bringing Princess Changle and Xiahou Chongyuan together?
If it really happened, it would be icing on the cake for Xiahou Chongyuan, but on the contrary, it would be adding insult to injury for Xiahou Chun.
This is simply self-destruction!
"What do you think is the possibility that Princess Changle can marry into the palace?"
After hearing her words, Xiahou Chun thought for a moment and said, "It's impossible."
Although Xiahou Chongyuan always respected Mo Weixin, it was very unlikely for the two of them to get married. Otherwise, Mo Weixin had not married for so many years. If it was possible, the two of them would have been married long ago, and there would be no chance for Song Qingxue to be the princess now.
"That's right." Zhao Wanqiu smiled and said, "It's impossible for her to do it by herself, but what if we help her?"
"How do you want to help?"
"It doesn't matter how I want to help. What matters is whether the princess is willing to cooperate." Although she said so, Zhao Wanqiu was absolutely sure in her heart.
Xiahou Chun understood and suddenly smiled mischievously, "Isn't Song Qingxue your good sister? If you help the princess, aren't you afraid that she will be sad?"
"It's none of my business whether she's sad or not." Zhao Wanqiu never concealed herself in front of Xiahou Chun. She just chuckled and said arrogantly, "Besides, it's all my credit that she was able to marry the Regent. Now I want to change a Regent Princess to be my sister. What's the problem?"
"Of course not."
"Hahahaha" Xiahou Chun laughed loudly and stretched out his arms to embrace Zhao Wanqiu in his arms.
This woman is so cruel.
What a great chess piece.
Zhao Wanqiu didn't resist at all, she leaned gently in his arms and smiled.
Xiahou Jun was planning to spread some news about the close relationship between Princess Changle and the Regent, so he began to remain silent in the court, waiting for the next suitable opportunity.
Xiahou Chongyuan really had no clue. After nearly half a month, he had to discuss it with Xiahou Le and prepare to tell the ministers that Xiahou Le had woken up.
So much time has passed, and there is still no strong evidence that Xiahou Le was murdered. If he doesn't wake up, I'm afraid there will be a big chaos in the court.
The current situation was that he was competing with Xiahou Chun to see who could endure more. However, the situation was more in favor of Xiahou Chun, and he didn't have that much time to slowly grind with him.
Song Qingxue was listening on the side. After the uncle and nephew made up their minds, she said, "What about the Imperial Hospital?"
After all, she had rarely summoned the imperial physician since she had rescued the little emperor.
Although there were imperial physicians who took the little emperor's pulse every time, she found ways to make the pulse disordered to confuse him.
When I took his pulse yesterday, it was disorderly and he looked like he was dying. But today he is well again. This is bound to arouse suspicion no matter how you think about it!
Xiahou Chongyuan listened quietly to her analysis and felt that her analysis was correct.
After thinking it over, he looked at Song Qingxue and said, "Princess, the emperor will be well in a few days."
Hearing this, Song Qingxue actually breathed a sigh of relief.
It would be fine in a few days. She could still use these days to fake the recovery of the little emperor and make it look less like a medical miracle.
Xiahou Chongyuan said this to give her some time. However, how to solve the problem of her medical skills?
It was obviously impossible to continue hiding it, but how to explain her medical skills was also a headache.
After thinking for a while, Xiahou Chongyuan said, "Princess, your medical skills can be learned by the Imperial Hospital."
"Well, what the prince means is..." Song Qingxue suddenly had a bold guess in her mind. She swallowed and asked, "Are you going to announce to the world that I cured the emperor?"
"Um."
"Isn't this a bit too much?" Song Qingxue was not particularly willing.
After all, this is an area that the original owner has never been involved in. If others knew about it, wouldn't she be in danger of being assassinated at any time?
Moreover, why didn’t Xiahou Chongyuan doubt why she knew medical skills?
She was so panicked! She was afraid that this villain was planning some big trick to mess with her!
