Empress Dowager Xiao was coaxing her child when she heard the child's tender voice and her eyes fell on Xiao Ruyu.

Could it be the little princess’ voice?

Thinking of the last experience, Empress Dowager Xiao was much calmer now. The little princess couldn't speak a word at this time, but her words were very sweet.

However, after not seeing each other for a while, the little princess had indeed become a lot rounder and looked more blessed. Empress Dowager Xiao found that his eyes and brows were very similar to those of the emperor.

Empress Dowager Xiao handed the little prince to the care of Nanny Wei, walked to the side of the little princess, and spoke to Empress Duan in a low voice.

"Let me see the little princess."

Empress Duan was a little nervous. Empress Dowager Xiao's attitude towards the two children was a little strange, which she could not understand. So she became more and more worried that the Empress Dowager would dislike the little princess.

Xiao Ruyu saw Queen Duan's worry and said with a smile.

[Mother, Yu'er likes the sandalwood scent on the Royal Grandmother. Yu'er likes the Royal Grandmother.]

Queen Duan chuckled and brought the little princess to Queen Mother Xiao.

Xiao Ruyu smiled brightly at the empress dowager, revealing two little canine teeth. She looked very cute and attracted people's attention.

Empress Dowager Xiao played with the little princess for a while. Although she had a slight cough, it was not serious.

Xiao Ruyu secretly felt the pulse of Empress Dowager Xiao and found out that the Empress Dowager's health seemed to have been not very good recently.

She secretly passed spiritual power to the Empress Dowager Xiao. At this moment, Empress Dowager Xiao felt her body warm, and her original unhappiness had improved a lot.

Empress Dowager Xiao glanced at the little princess in confusion, but the little girl in her arms was still cute and lovely.

When the Queen mentioned the epidemic in the palace, Empress Dowager Xiao listened very carefully. Upon learning that this matter was most likely related to Concubine Li, Empress Dowager Xiao looked a little stern and her face was a little cold.

"Empress Li is still so restless even though she is under house arrest. I was really blinded by greed and actually spoke up for Concubine Li."

Xiao Ruyu yawned lazily and said with a smile.

[Grandmother, it is a great honor to admit your mistakes and make improvements. However, I don’t blame you for protecting Concubine Li. After all, you are controlled by the power of the script. But Concubine Li has done a lot of bad things, and she will always get retribution.]

[I don't think the Imperial Grandmother knows this yet, but the child in Concubine Li's belly is actually a fake, created by witchcraft. The Imperial Father is planning something big.]

Empress Dowager Xiao ate melons silently, her aura becoming more and more solemn. She thought that Concubine Li was just disrespectful to the Queen and punished concubines at will, but she didn't expect that she was worse than she thought.

As expected of the Lu family.

Empress Dowager Xiao stroked her brows. The Emperor couldn't do anything to Concubine Li now, but she could do something secretly.

She looked at the little princess in her arms, feeling an indescribable love in her heart.

Half an hour later, the Queen saw Xiao Ruyu dozing off and was about to leave Shou'an Palace.

Empress Dowager Xiao changed her usual indifference and became extremely generous. She took out all the treasures and rare treasures she usually kept from the boxes and gave them to the little princess as rewards.

Xiao Ruyu had just fallen asleep when she felt her body heavy.

She opened her eyes and looked at the pure gold bracelets covering her body and the many priceless head ornaments, which made a popping sound.

[The Imperial Grandmother is so generous. Such a big gold bracelet. I wonder how much silver it can be sold for. Will it be enough for me to spend when I grow up?]

[Wow, you are worthy of being the Empress Dowager. Yu'er likes you very much! Trojan horse! 】

Xiao Ruyu's undisguised confession echoed in Empress Dowager Xiao's mind. She was a little surprised that the little princess said that.

Queen Mother Xiao stroked the little princess's furry head and spoke in a loving voice.

"I love the little princess the most, Queen. When you have free time in the future, please bring the little princess to Shou'an Palace to play."

Queen Duan was a little surprised, but spoke very respectfully.

"Yes, I understand."

The group left Shou'an Palace, taking with them the gifts bestowed by Empress Dowager Xiao. In short, it was quite eye-catching.

For a time, the news that the Queen Mother and the Empress had reconciled had spread throughout the harem, and Emperor Shangwen was delighted when he learned of this.

Empress Duan returned to Fengyi Palace and was asking people to prepare dinner when Imperial Physician Yang sent someone to report the news.

"Greetings to Her Majesty the Queen. Lord Duan and the young master have cured the epidemic in the suburbs of the capital. The people have all set up camp and their lives are not in danger for the time being."

The imperial physician bowed respectfully and told the emperor everything he knew.

"That's great."

Empress Duan was delighted and in a very good mood, so she ordered Nanny Cui to reward the young imperial physician.

The imperial physician received a generous reward, bowed respectfully, and then slowly left.

News soon came from outside the capital that the epidemic had been completely resolved and there were no more casualties among the people.

Emperor Shangwen was very relieved about this matter. The biggest problem in the capital was solved, so he ordered Eunuch Yin to pass on the order to host a banquet for all the ministers in three days to comfort them for their hard work during this period.

Eunuch Yin was very efficient and quickly got things done. In less than half an hour, the news spread throughout the court.

Three days later, we went to Shangqing Palace.

Queen Duan and the concubines in the harem arranged the banquet together. At the same time, they prepared some sachets to ward off epidemic diseases in the palace.

During this period of time, everyone was very nervous. After all, the outbreak of the epidemic in the court was a big deal.

If the people cannot live in peace, the officials in the court will naturally not have a good life.

When Lord Duan and his son entered the palace with their families, someone came to greet them as soon as they stepped into the hall, so Lord Duan was pulled away to talk.

The two young masters looked around and stared at the queen's seat nervously, but there was still no sign of the little princess.

Duan Yiheng sighed, "I heard that my sister fainted for a long time. I don't know if she has recovered. If my father hadn't forbidden me to enter the palace recently, I would definitely come to see my sister."

Duan Yiling's eyes lit up, he pointed in the direction behind the screen and said with a smile.

"Look, isn't that Eleven holding her sister?"

The two young masters ran towards Xiao Ruyu with joy, causing others to burst out laughing.

Xiao Ruyu also heard the footsteps. She clapped her hands and said with a smile.

【Big cousin! Little cousin! 】

Duan Yiling mysteriously took out a little person from his sleeve. It turned out to be a pottery figurine. He handed it to the little princess.

"Yu'er, this is what my brother made for you. Do you like it?"

Xiao Ruyu stared at the tiny pottery figurine, which looked very much like herself.

Seeing the scar on Duan Yiling's palm, she grabbed Duan Yiling's hand and blew it.

[Little cousin, is your hand okay? ]

Duan Yiling scratched his head and said embarrassedly.

"As long as my sister likes it, I'm fine. It's great!"

Duan Yiheng handed Xiao Ruyu a blessing of peace, which he earned with his sincerity and sincerity after three kneelings and nine kowtows at the Jade Buddha Temple. He only hoped that his sister would be safe and happy and be a happy little princess.

【Brothers are so nice! 】

The little princess's soft voice was heard, and tears flashed in her eyes.

"As long as my sister is fine, everything is fine."
