Chapter 295 The Queen Mother is Sick

The emperor called Bei Jingyu over and asked, "Aren't you always thinking about your elder sister? Why don't you say anything?"

"You keep talking about me when no one is around. Why are you still shy now that my elder sister is here?"

Bei Jingyu came over and comforted her in an unskilled way: "Don't be sad, elder sister."

Bei Jingchu: ...Such a straight man’s comfort.

After the meal, the emperor sent his stupid son away, and Bei Jingchu took the initiative to admit his fault: "Father, I was too emotional."

Bei Heng sighed: "Humans are not plants or trees, so how can we be heartless?"

"Emotions are the thing that most easily affects judgment."

He closed his eyes and said, "You have to know that the people who make big mistakes in the future are mostly those around you."

"Because those who are not close to you have been eliminated year after year. They have no wealth or power and cannot make any waves."

"On the contrary, you will promote those who follow you and give them high positions and generous salaries. The more power they hold, the greater the harm they will cause."

Bei Jingchu felt mixed emotions when she heard this, as these were advices drawn from Aye's personal experiences.

She replied: "Killing the people around you is like removing the bones and flesh, but if the rotten flesh is not removed, people will die."

"The child will remember to make a decisive decision."

But if you make a mistake, it's over.

Bei Jingchu still felt uncomfortable about executing her relatives and friends who were implicated in order to make an example of them.

The emperor looked tired, as if he had been very busy recently and had not had a good rest for a long time.

But the number of memorials on the desk was not much more than before, probably because he was not in a good mood.

He took a sip of his strong tea and put the cup down.

"With great power comes great responsibility. If you want to shoulder the responsibility for the whole of Dai Viet, you can't let your emotions control your mind."

"I am not asking you to give up on love, but I am saying that you can cry and wield a sword at the same time."

"Forget it this time. I believe you will figure it out. You are a smart child."

"The Queen Mother and her family miss you very much. Go and pay your respects."

Bei Jingchu bowed and left, knowing what had happened.

Entering the main hall of Renshou Palace, a strong smell of medicine hits you in the face.

The Queen Mother leaned on the couch, looking at the door with a smile, and she walked in.

"Chu'er is here, come quickly and let Grandmother take a look."

Bei Jingchu quickened her pace and walked over quickly.

"What's wrong with Grandmother?"

She thought it was an excuse to reject Jiujiu's call for help.

Although it is far from the point where he cannot face people, it now seems that the excuse is true and the fact that he is bedridden is also true.

Aunt Hui replied, "Your Highness, the imperial physician said it was a heart disease."

Heart disease......

She must be sad too.

But he could only stay in Renshou Hall and force himself not to interfere.

Just as Aye said, you can be sad in your heart, but crying and wielding a sword are not contradictory.

She pinched Bei Jingchu's face, which had become thinner due to weight gain, and found that not much flesh could be seen on it.

"What a sin, Heng'er, you really made our Chu'er suffer."

Bei Jing didn't agree when she first arrived: "Grandmother, Aye is trying to protect me."

Maybe Aye didn't know how much sanity she had left.

If she had caused trouble at that time, such as intercepting the prison cell and replacing the person, she would have lost her position as the crown prince.

So locking it up is the safest option.

The Queen Mother's eyes lit up as if she had thought of something.

"I just had a dream. I saw Sister Qiu. She took Qin'er away."

"It was my first time meeting my grandson. I was so happy."

“I liked it so much that I took it away.”

"I scolded her and told her not to do such a thing even if she cared about the child."

Bei Jingchu listened and asked, "So, Mrs. Qiu likes him very much?"

“Then he should be very happy.”

The Queen Mother smiled and said, "Yes, the child is very happy."

"That's great. I'll be able to go there and be with them in the future."

"The late emperor wasn't around to bother us, so we were the only ones here, bored, so we played backstabs, chess, and leaf games together."

Bei Jingchu thought this was a bit depressing and interrupted her: "May grandma live a long life, so let my cousins ​​wait a few more decades."

The Queen Mother still smiled and said, "Don't worry, I am still strong and will not die so soon."

"We can hold on for a few more years until your generation's children grow up."

Although she is over 50 years old, she doesn't have many worries on a daily basis and takes good care of herself, so she looks like she is almost 40.

This time, her hands looked much drier and yellower than before, and she looked suddenly older.

She stroked Bei Jingchu's hair and said, "At least we have to wait until our Chu'er can really stand on his own feet."

We stayed in Renshoudian late, but luckily the East Palace was connected to Taiji Palace, so we didn't have to worry about not being able to get out because of the key to the palace gate.

When Bei Jingchu went out, she heard Aunt Hui say, "Your Highness, the Imperial Concubine Gui and the Imperial Concubine Xian are waiting."

Bei Jingchu paused, "Are they going to pay their respects to the Grandmother?"

"No, you two often come to Renshou Hall to pay respects, and this time we came here specifically to wait for you..."

Bei Jingchu hurried to the side hall, and the two of them sat there chatting.

When they saw people coming, they all greeted them with a smile.

The noble concubine simply took her arm and walked out.

"We can't wait any longer. We thought you would go from Renshou Hall to Xunfeng Hall and then to Xianchi Hall. We have to wait until tomorrow."

"Auntie can't wait to see if our little prince has lost weight."

"It's getting late. I won't bother the Queen Mother anymore. I'll just tie you up and take you to Xunfeng Palace."

Bei Jingchu: ???

The noble concubine said with a little pride: "In order to prevent you from being unhappy, I also dragged Sister Kong into this."

Concubine Xian had a blank expression on her face, but she stood beside her, clearly supporting her.

Bei Jingchu was half-dragged and half-walked to Xunfeng Palace by the two women who were going crazy with missing her.

The noble concubine held her arm, feeling very distressed.

"Look at these arms and waist, they have lost a lot of weight."

"You need to eat more to replenish your body." The concubine was busy in the small kitchen preparing meals.

Bei Jingchu refused and said, "Auntie, I've already had dinner."

The imperial concubine said that her refusal was futile: "Then let's have some midnight snack."

"I don't have any belly fat anymore, how can this be possible?"

Bei Jingchu turned to her master for help, but Concubine Xian cruelly looked away and agreed, "You are a martial artist, so it is better for you to be a little fatter. This is Concubine Gui's kind gesture."

Fortunately, after walking around, Bei Jingchu managed to digest a lot of the food, so he didn't have to flee in panic when faced with this heavy midnight snack.

Fortunately, she was not raised by a noble concubine, otherwise she would have grown into a ball.

Concubine Xian asked with concern: "What is your Majesty's attitude now?"

"Can I help you?"

Bei Jingchu didn't rush to answer as she was intrigued by her helper.

"Master, how are you going to help me?"

Concubine Xian was still as cold and indifferent as ever, and said slowly, "I usually stay away from the world, but I still have a few friends among the concubines."

"The noble concubine has even more friends."

"so?"

Concubine Xian gave a serious suggestion: "Let them persuade your father-in-law."

Bei Jingchu thought about the scene. As soon as his father entered the harem to look for concubines, the concubines brainwashed him in his ears: The prince is good~ The prince is good~ The prince is the best~

What's wrong with being a little bit miserable?

"...If necessary, it seems feasible."

She was touched by her master's kindness, but declined, saying that Aye did not intend to settle the score any further.

Concubine Xian was a little worried: "Really? Don't be so stubborn."

"Master still depends on you for his old age."

"Really, really, um!"

As he was speaking, the imperial concubine beside him took advantage of the opportunity and stuffed a mouthful of shrimp into his mouth.
