Su Xiaoxiao thought about it and nodded honestly.

"You really have inherited your grandmother's personality..." The Queen Mother smiled bitterly, paused, thought of something, and asked again, "But, what's the matter with you and Wei Ting? How did Da Hu and the others become your sons?"

…

"His Majesty!"

Outside the bedroom, Eunuch Cheng respectfully bowed to Emperor Jingxuan.

Emperor Jingxuan looked at him, then at the closed door, and asked in a deep voice, "Where is the Queen Mother?"

Eunuch Cheng said, "Doctor Su is treating the Queen Mother inside."

Emperor Jingxuan certainly knew that Su Xiaoxiao had a bad habit of coming to people's homes to treat their illnesses.

But he couldn't stop it. If he did, it would be considered unfilial and he was deliberately preventing the Queen Mother from being cured.

"How long have you been inside?" asked Emperor Jingxuan.

"Not long ago, just went in." Eunuch Cheng said calmly.

In fact, it has been almost half an hour since we went in. Such a big thing happened yesterday, and the Queen Mother must have a lot of questions to ask Doctor Su.

Your Majesty, please don't force your way in...

Eunuch Cheng broke into a cold sweat and said, "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother was exhausted from the long journey yesterday and was frightened. I'm afraid it will take some time for her to be treated today. Why don't you——"

Emperor Jingxuan said: "No need, I will wait here."

Eunuch Cheng was very anxious.

No one knows how long Doctor Su will talk with the Queen Mother. If he keeps not coming out, Your Majesty will surely be worried about the Queen Mother's illness. Once he is worried, he will force his way in.

"Why haven't you come out yet? Is the Queen Mother seriously ill? Fuquan, go call the imperial physician—"

Before Emperor Jingxuan finished speaking, the door opened.

Su Xiaoxiao came out carrying a medicine box.

"How is the Empress Dowager?" Emperor Jingxuan asked in a dignified manner.

Su Xiaoxiao said: "I am a little tired, but it's nothing serious. I just need to rest for a few days."

Emperor Jingxuan was worried and went into the bedroom to visit the empress dowager.

The Queen Mother's face was pale and her eyes were swollen.

Thinking about how she went to commemorate King Nanyang yesterday, it was inevitable that she would cry.

Emperor Jingxuan did not suspect anything.

I just feel a little uncomfortable.

I can't even compare to someone who has been dead for ten years.

The Queen Mother sat back against the soft pillow and said, "I heard that the Emperor has already come to court?"

Emperor Jingxuan sat down beside the bed and said, "I just resumed court today."

The Queen Mother asked again: "Why don't you rest for a few more days?"

A trace of surprise flashed across Emperor Jingxuan's eyes: "Is the Queen Mother concerned about me?"

The Queen Mother sneered: "The Emperor already controls the world? Does he still need my care?"

After Eunuch Cheng presented a plate of fruits, he retreated ten steps away, his eyes on his nose and his nose on his heart.

Eunuch Fu also tactfully retreated to a safe area.

Emperor Jingxuan picked up an orange and began to peel it slowly.

"I'm sorry that my mother was frightened last night. I will investigate this matter thoroughly and find the assassin!"

The Queen Mother said calmly, "I heard that during the competition between Qin Jiang and Qin Che, assassins also appeared, and even rebels infiltrated the Imperial Guards."

"It is true. It was done by a religious sect among the people."

Speaking of this, Emperor Jingxuan paused.

Could it be that the White Lotus Sect was also responsible for the assassination last night? The Queen Mother passed on the blame and stopped while she was ahead: "Speaking of which, thanks to Wei Ting last night, when does the Emperor plan to reinstate him?"

Emperor Jingxuan continued peeling oranges: "It was his own choice to become a monk."

The Queen Mother said in a tired tone: "Why bother to get angry with a child?"

Emperor Jingxuan paused and said, "I will make my own decision on this matter."

The Queen Mother waved her hand and said, "Forget it. I don't care about the affairs of the court. Since you are here, I have something to discuss with you."

The Queen Mother hadn't spoken so much to Emperor Jingxuan for a long time.

Emperor Jingxuan was stunned for a moment.

The Queen Mother glanced at him and said, "Why? You don't want to listen? Then I will make the decision myself."

Emperor Jingxuan was flattered. The relationship between mother and son had been frozen for ten years, and he thought that he would never see the day when the empress dowager would look at him with respect.

The Queen Mother said, "You know the little girl from the Qin family, right? She's not Qin Yanran."

Emperor Jingxuan frowned: "Grandmother, are you talking about Su Daya?"

The Queen Mother said, "It was her. Before she went to save you, I promised to give her a favor. Now that the strange poison in your body has been cured, I should also fulfill my promise to her."

The Queen Mother's words sound simple, but they are actually of great significance.

Su Xiaoxiao also treated the Queen Mother, but the Queen Mother did not promise her anything.

On the contrary, on the night when Emperor Jingxuan was in critical condition, the empress dowager even promised Su Xiaoxiao with grace in order to let her devote herself to treating Emperor Jingxuan.

The grace of a queen mother is no small matter.

Emperor Jingxuan was filled with mixed feelings: "I thought... my mother would never forgive me in this lifetime."

The Queen Mother closed her eyes and said helplessly, "You killed your brother's entire family, and killed my son, daughter-in-law, grandson, and granddaughter. I will never forgive you in this life."

Emperor Jingxuan clenched his fists: "Then why did the Queen Mother--"

The Queen Mother lowered her eyes: "I don't know either."

The hall fell into an eerie silence; Eunuch Fu and Eunuch Cheng did not dare to make a sound.

Finally, Emperor Jingxuan spoke: "What does she want?"

The Queen Mother said, "Wei Ting."

"cough!"

Emperor Jingxuan choked!

The Queen Mother said calmly, "I am also shocked. You and I know the relationship between the Qin and Wei families very well. What will happen if they get married?"

Emperor Jingxuan was puzzled: "Why did she——"

The Queen Mother sneered, "Why do you like Wei Ting? Just ask the world, how many women don't like Wei Ting?"

Emperor Jingxuan could not refute this. After all, even Princess Hui'an was deeply poisoned by Wei Ting.

The Queen Mother continued, "She said that Wei Ting saved her last night, and she had no way to repay him, so she would only give him her body."

Emperor Jingxuan thought of the chubby girl, and the corner of his mouth twitched: "This is not repaying a favor, it's revenge, right?"

The Queen Mother rolled her eyes at him, resisted the urge to slap him, and said indifferently, "She grew up in the countryside and doesn't have much affection for the Qin family."

Emperor Jingxuan hesitated and said, "I'm afraid Wei Ting will not agree—"

The Queen Mother snorted coldly: "Why? I am the Queen Mother, and I have arranged a marriage for him. Can he still disobey my order?"

Emperor Jingxuan said, "Whether he disobeys the order is another matter. How do you plan to explain this to Hui'an? If Hui'an knew that your mother did not arrange a marriage for her, but arranged a marriage for an outsider, what would your mother think? Besides, the Wei family is full of loyal and brave people, and now only Wei Ting is left. It is really not right to make things difficult for him with his marriage."

Emperor Jingxuan spoke in high-sounding terms, but to put it bluntly, he did not want the two families to marry.

The Queen Mother's expression relaxed a little.

In fact, if it was anyone else's arranged marriage, Emperor Jingxuan would not interfere, but it had to be the Qin and Wei families.

The Queen Mother snorted coldly, "How do you know that it is to embarrass him? Maybe he will agree to marry that girl."

Emperor Jingxuan laughed: "Mother, Wei Ting doesn't even like Hui'an, how could he like a fat girl who grew up in the countryside?"

The Queen Mother said: "Emperor, don't be too absolute about anything."

Emperor Jingxuan smiled faintly and said, "If your Majesty does not believe me, I will prove it to you."

Emperor Jingxuan was also a man of swift and decisive actions. He brought Wei Tingxuan to the Golden Palace the next day.

He wanted Wei Ting to refuse the marriage proposal in public in front of all the civil and military officials.

"My dear ministers, before you submit your memorials, I have something to ask Wei Ting."

Everyone looked at each other.

Emperor Jingxuan said sternly, "Last night you saved the Queen Mother and also saved a daughter of a noble family. Is this true?"

Wei Ting said coldly: "I saved the Queen Mother. As for the others, I don't know them and don't want to know them."

He just knew it.

Wei Ting didn't take the little fat girl seriously at all.

Emperor Jingxuan smiled and said, "Well, I will tell you that the person you saved is Qin Canglan's granddaughter. Although she grew up among the common people, she is the real legitimate daughter of the Duke of Huguo's mansion. You two are well-matched and have this fate. Perhaps it is God's will. I intend to arrange a marriage for you two. I wonder if you are willing to -"

Wei Ting quickly lifted up his skirt and knelt on one knee: "Thank you, Lord, for your grace!"

Emperor Jingxuan: “……!!”
