Chapter 99 The Great Disapproval of the World
Because of her, Xie Changsheng was in great danger of being condemned by the world.
Now the Censorate didn't know how to impeach him. Without a harem, how would he solve the problem of offspring?
Fu Danjun returned to his bedroom with mixed feelings.
Not long after, a strange old palace maid came outside and asked the young eunuch to invite her over.
Fu Danjun was puzzled for a moment. The young eunuch said that he didn't know the old palace maid, but the other party said that she was someone close to the empress dowager.
"The Queen Mother?" she was surprised.
"Miss, she is not a fake, right? We have been in the palace for so long, but we have never seen or heard of the empress dowager, and the emperor has never mentioned the empress dowager to you." Lan Fang said nervously.
Fu Danjun thinks so too.
But if her identity before was ordinary, and Xie Changsheng was willing to disband the harem for her, does that mean that her existence has threatened the Queen Mother?
After all, Xie Changsheng is the empress dowager's son.
But he never mentioned his mother.
Fu Danjun was hesitant.
At this moment, the young eunuch rushed in, his face falling. "Oh no, Madam! The maid outside said that if you don't go see the Empress Dowager, she will hit her head against the wall and die!"
Lan Fang was so anxious that she didn't know what to do. "Isn't this too much? Isn't this coercion and inducement? Who knows if there is any calculation behind this?"
Fu Danjun was keenly aware of the danger, but she was unwilling to watch a life die in vain in front of her, as that would be a serious sin for her.
"Let's go out and take a look."
Fu Danjun's face was solemn. He walked outside and was shocked when he saw the old palace maid.
It’s absolutely true that she is an old palace maid.
Her hair was gray, her body was hunched, and even the palace dress she was wearing had been washed white. It was late autumn, but she was wearing thin clothes and her whole body was shaking uncontrollably.
Fu Danjun couldn't help but sigh "poor thing" when he saw it.
Seeing her, the maid knelt down and kowtowed hurriedly, "Madam, the Empress Dowager wishes to see you before she dies. Please follow me quickly. If you are any later, I'm afraid you won't be able to see her!"
Every word brings tears to my eyes.
Fu Danjun was shocked when he heard this and believed it six out of ten.
A dying person's request—couldn't it be easily refused? What if there were unresolved obsessions? Wouldn't the person, after dying, become a ghost and haunt her every night in her dreams?
Fu Danjun asked the young eunuch to pass a message to Xie Changsheng, and then took Lan Fang and the old palace maid to the Empress Dowager's palace.
The Empress Dowager's palace is also in the harem. The palace that Xie Changsheng arranged for himself is magnificent, with a good location and feng shui, so Fu Danjun naturally thought that the Empress Dowager's residence is probably similar.
However, she didn't expect that the old palace maid took her for a long time, passing through a number of magnificent palaces without stopping, and the road became more and more remote. Lan Fang and Fu Danjun became more and more nervous, fearing that the old palace maid was pretending.
She suddenly stopped and asked her, "How can the Queen Mother live in such a remote and desolate courtyard? Are you lying?"
The old maid froze, and turned around with a bitter smile, "It was arranged by the Emperor. Madam, look at what I'm wearing, and you can probably guess that the Empress Dowager is in a bad situation right now, right?"
Fu Danjun was stunned.
She believed it a little, but Lan Fang said she would go back and call someone.
The old palace maid came over and pulled Fu Danjun regardless of everything. She used great force and kept muttering, "It's too late."
Fu Danjun couldn't break free, so he was dragged by her and stumbled into a deserted palace.
Lan Fang couldn't stop him and could only catch up quickly.
Everything they saw gave both the master and the servant a great shock.
There are no neatly trimmed flowers, plants or trees, no groups of servants, and even the vegetables planted in the yard are sparse and withered. Is this the residence of the mother of a king?
Without giving her any time to doubt, the old palace maid pulled her directly into the palace.
A strong smell of medicine lingered in the room.
In addition to the smell of medicine, there were other smells, and both the master and the servant couldn't help but cover their mouths and noses.
The skinny man on the bed slowly opened his eyes. His cheekbones were prominent, and only his eyes were noticeable on his sallow face. He stared intently in Fu Danjun's direction. "You are... the person Xie Changsheng likes?"
How dare you call the emperor by his name!
Fu Danjun frowned slightly, "Are you the Queen Mother?"
"I'm not." She laughed at herself, "I was ruined by Xie Changsheng a long time ago, otherwise I wouldn't have ended up in this situation."
Fu Danjun didn't expect the Queen Mother to say this, "You sent someone to see me, is there something wrong?"
