On the second day, Song Yushu brought twelve people into the palace. The queen sat in the first seat without saying a word. In such a huge palace, there was no sound at all.
The queen felt very complicated. She didn't expect that Lu Zhixing could build up his own power after being blinded and deprived of power.
Chen'er said that his power is probably too small. If he can use it for his own benefit, it will surely be of great help in the fight for the throne.
Under his father's personal guidance, Lu Zhixing, the son, was indeed brilliant, but he was too disobedient and useless to himself.
Even though he was blind, he was still able to build up his power. Without the help of the eunuch in front of him, he would not have been able to do it.
After thinking it over again and again, the queen decided to see if she could recruit him first. After all, Chen'er lacked such help.
"Get up. Prince Jing is injured, and it is not convenient for me to visit him, so I can only summon you to ask questions." The queen said lightly, without any worry on her face.
Song Yushu immediately stood up after receiving the response. She felt it would be unlucky to kneel for this woman any longer. "To answer the Queen, the prince's injuries are indeed serious. Not only can he not get out of bed, but he's not even conscious yet. He keeps talking nonsense and calling for the Queen. He's holding my hand and insisting that the Queen must come and see him!"
Since the queen said so, she went along with it and looked at the queen sincerely, as if if the queen did not agree, she would be the one who could not fulfill the wish of a dying person.
The queen felt like she had something stuck in her throat, she always felt that the eunuch was mocking her.
"The palace is busy with affairs, and I can't leave for a moment. Please help me take care of Zhixing. He is a strong child." The queen sighed lightly, as if she was really helpless.
"Your Majesty, you are not in good health. You had a headache last night and couldn't sleep all night. I believe that Prince Jing is a sensible child and will not blame you. Didn't you call this little eunuch here to give you some more advice?" The nanny beside the Queen interrupted at the right time, with a righteous look on her face.
The queen nodded in agreement.
Song Yushu immediately saluted and stood up to leave, "Yes, I will obey the Queen's order and return to the palace immediately to serve the prince!"
He acted so quickly, without any hesitation, that both the Queen and the nanny beside her were confused. It was the Queen who reacted first and stopped Song Yushu.
"Stop! What's wrong with you, eunuch?" The queen was so angry that the veins on her neck popped out.
Song Yushu fell to his knees with a plop, then looked at her innocently, "Didn't you, Your Majesty, tell me to go back and take good care of the prince?"
The nanny beside the queen took a look at the queen who was so angry that she couldn't even breathe, and said quickly: "The queen called you here to give you some serious advice, but you are so anxious. Why are you so anxious?"
"I am also worried about the prince's injury. I don't know if the water temperature is suitable for changing the wound without me. Are there any chrysanthemums? Is the rice he eats from Jingzhou? Is there--" Song Yushu kept chattering, the gist of which was that nothing could be done without him.
The Queen recovered at this point and snorted softly, "As the Chief Clerk of the Palace, you haven't disciplined your servants well?" She seemed to have caught something, and her expression began to relax. "It seems like I really need to discipline them properly!"
Song Yushu lowered his head and sighed, "The prince only wants me to serve him, and I have no other choice. I have thought of many ways. Your Majesty, let me tell you, the prince—"
Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by the Queen again, "I think you just haven't learned the rules yet! Your constant chatter is really giving me a headache, Nanny Qin, please discipline me properly!"
"Yes! This old servant will obey the imperial decree." Nanny Qin walked over to Song Yushu and glanced him up and down. "Let's go, Eunuch Song."
Song Yushu had not originally planned to leave the palace today, and did not make a fuss. He just obediently bowed to the queen and followed Nanny Qin.
After they left, the Queen held her forehead and said, "This little eunuch agreed so quickly, is there something wrong?"
If she were truly a woman, how could she possibly accomplish anything by acting so mercifully? Lu Zhichen, walking out of the side hall, glanced at the queen with a hint of dissatisfaction in his eyes. "This little eunuch entered the palace without a shred of panic. He must have guessed what we were up to. Mother, we should use some tough measures."
The Queen shook her head. "Your Majesty, don't you wish to take down a small eunuch in one fell swoop? But we still don't know what cards he holds. If we act rashly, we may not be able to wipe out Prince Jing's forces. Not to mention, His Majesty is keeping an eye on me."
"What power can they have? They are just some second-rate gangsters, all greedy and desperate criminals. We just need to use some tricks to make this eunuch speak. Can't I catch these bastards?" Lu Zhichen looked down on them, but also wanted to.
"I know all this, don't you? But don't you see how confident this eunuch is?" The Queen was a little disappointed. This son was obedient, but also too foolish and arrogant. "I guess there must be some powerful forces in the palace! Can't you use your brain? No wonder you haven't been able to build up your prestige in the army for so long!"
The Queen's words hit Lu Zhichen right in the chest. His face turned pale, and he pursed his lips tightly without saying a word.
"Okay, okay, I will take care of the affairs in the palace. You can go down now." The queen also realized that she had said that, so she had to wave her hand to let Lu Zhichen go down.
Lu Zhichen, who was slapped in the face, didn't even bother to say anything and walked out with a dark face.
On the way out of the palace, Xia Xingde, who was limping beside Lu Yanzhou, saw Lu Zhichen with his sharp eyes. He keenly noticed something was wrong and immediately signaled his subordinate to check.
Sure enough, news soon came that the queen had summoned the chief historian of King Jing into the palace.
They must have found out something, as their spies also brought news that something seemed to be wrong with King Jing.
After listening to Xia Xingde's report, Lu Yanzhou thought for a moment and then went to his mother's palace.
Meanwhile, Song Yushu had been taken to a remote palace by Nanny Qin.
Song Yushu is now known for her good food and her height. Nanny Qin has to look up when standing next to her to talk to her, so Nanny Qin can only stand on the steps to preserve her dignity.
"You are the chief historian in Prince Jing's mansion, and it is not my place to teach you—" Nanny Qin coughed lightly and started to make fun of her, but before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Song Yushu with a sneer.
"Oh, you still know this. I thought you didn't know." Song Yushu came to the palace this time to declare war. She really had had enough of the Queen. She couldn't confront the Queen in person, so how could she confront a little nanny?
Nanny Qin opened her eyes wide and looked at her in disbelief, "You, what did you say?!"
Song Yushu sighed and shook his head. "We thought you just had a problem with your brain, but we didn't expect you to be deaf!"
