The Queen Mother's Room
Xuanyi closed her eyes to rest, when suddenly her personal maid walked in and called out softly, "Empress Dowager!"
Xuan Yi opened her eyes and asked with some dissatisfaction, "What's wrong? Why do you have to report it now?"
"The Queen said she had something urgent to ask you to see her!"
Xuan Yi frowned, sat up straight, and said in a bad tone, "Let her in! I want to see what she can do!"
After a while, Chunling came in and knelt down, "Empress Dowager!"
"No one told you that now is the Queen Mother's rest time. You can't say anything and no one can disturb you!" Xuanyi said with a serious face and a somewhat domineering tone.
"Queen Mother, Chunling wants to go back to Mo Yu Kingdom!" Chunling said respectfully.
Xuan Yi was even more dissatisfied and glanced at her. "How long have you been queen and you're already thinking about returning to Mo Yu Country? You should know that since you married into Bai Han Country, you have to stay here forever! You can't go anywhere else!"
"Chun Ling knows, but something happened at home, so Chun Ling has to go back!" Chun Ling raised her head and said with a firm look in her eyes.
Xuanyi suddenly slammed the table and said angrily, "How dare you!... You really don't know the rules!"
Chunling was startled, but her face showed no emotion. She lay on the ground and said, "Empress Dowager, something happened to my sister. I will never see her again. I really want to go back and see her..." Chunling said crying.
Xuanyi's heart skipped a beat when she heard Ma Qingyi's name. She asked anxiously, "Say what you said again! What happened to your sister?"
Chunling stiffened for a moment. As expected, the Queen Mother cared about the young lady!
Chunling cried and said, "The young lady...is dead!"
Xuanyi's eyes widened, and she suddenly stood up, knocking the teacup on the table to the ground with her sleeve, and the broken porcelain pieces were scattered all over the floor. Xuanyi asked again in disbelief, "Say it again?"
Chunling lowered her head and said it again. Xuanyi fell into the chair, staring blankly at something.
"I beg the Queen Mother to let Chunling go back to visit my sister!" Chunling repeated. Xuanyi glanced at her and said calmly, "Go back and pay your respects to her on my behalf!"
Chunling nodded, answered yes, and turned to leave.
Xuanyi's worried face betrayed her. She sat in a chair, distracted, and suddenly shouted to the door, "Someone come!"
The maid ran in and asked what was going on.
Xuan Yi was silent for a moment and then said, "Get ready, I'm going to Mo Yu Country!"
"Queen Mother, should this matter be reported to the King?" the maidservant asked.
Xuanyi said lightly, No need!
Chunling was riding in a carriage passing through the palace gate. The guards at the gate stopped her. Chunling lifted the curtain and looked out. "What's wrong?"
"Queen, the guards at the door asked us for the pass to leave the palace!" Hua Lan said from the side.
Chun Ling was shocked. Oh no! She only thought about returning to Mo Yu Kingdom as soon as possible, but she forgot that she couldn't leave the palace without a token!
Chunling wanted Hualan to go back and ask Bai Lishen for the token, but she didn't know how long it would take. It would take two days to get back to Moyu Country by carriage. If there was any more delay along the way, she was afraid that she would never be able to go back!
While he was hesitating, another carriage came and stopped behind him.
Chun Ling looked over and saw the maid next to the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother opened the curtain and looked at the maid. "Why did you stop?"
"Replying to the Queen Mother, the Queen cannot leave the palace without a token!"
The Queen Mother was silent for a long time, whispered a few words into the maid's ear, and closed the curtain.
"The Queen Mother is here!" The maid took out the Queen Mother's personal waist badge and showed it to the guards. The guards squatted down and shouted in unison, "Queen Mother!"
"The Queen Mother wants to leave the palace with the Queen. Let this carriage go!"
"yes!"
Chun Ling was stunned for a moment. The carriage left the palace. Chun Ling was puzzled. What was the Queen Mother going to do after leaving the palace? Was she going to Mo Yu Kingdom?
After a day and a half of travel, the carriage crossed the border of Mo Yu Country. Chun Ling ran to the Fu Qing Palace. Hong Yi saw Chun Ling standing at the door and was amazed at her dress. He asked, "Aren't you in Bai Han Country? Why are you back?"
After asking, Hong Yi realized that he seemed to have heard the news of Ma Qingyi's death...
Chunling looked at the familiar courtyard and stepped over the threshold. Sadness welled up in her heart and tears flowed. "Where is my young lady's mourning hall? I want to pay my respects..."
Hong Yi didn't say anything, just looked at her in silence. Chun Ling looked at him without saying anything, and asked worriedly, "Is the young lady not buried yet?"
Hong Yi nodded and said calmly, "The prince couldn't bear to part with the princess, so he never buried her..."
Chun Ling lowered her head, wiped her tears, raised her head with red eyes and said, "Can I go to the young lady's yard to take a look?"
Hong Yi nodded and let her in.
Soon after Chun Ling entered, a woman with delicate makeup stood at the door. Hong Yi stared at her and asked, "Madam, what can I do for you?"
Xuanyi looked inside and said, "This must be Prince Fuqing's Mansion!"
"yes!"
"I am Princess Xuanyi of the Baihan Kingdom!" Xuanyi said proudly.
Hong Yi did not move aside and continued to ask, "I wonder what Princess Xuanyi is doing here at Prince Fuqing's Mansion?"
"I want to see my daughter!"
shock!
"..." Hong Yi looked at her coldly and bowed, "Princess, please wait a moment. I will report to the prince right away!"
"...You are the imperial guard of the previous emperor, right?" Xuanyi asked without looking at him.
Hong Yi turned halfway and turned back to look at her. "Princess Xuanyi has a good memory!"
Xuanyi was a little angry. He knew her but pretended not to know her!
He said dissatisfiedly, "You really develop the kind of personality you follow. The late emperor treated people politely, and you have forgotten all that!"
Hong Yi suddenly sneered, "When the late emperor passed away, he also allowed me to follow Prince Fu Qing! Now that I have learned Prince Fu Qing's temperament, I am also obeying the late emperor's wishes! Princess Xuanyi is dissatisfied with me, and I can't refute anything. However, if you are dissatisfied with Prince Fu Qing, then you are dissatisfied with the late emperor of Mo Yu Kingdom, and you will offend many people!"
Xuan Yi's face turned pale, her face turning purple with anger. She pretended to be calm and said, "I won't bother with you anymore. Go and report to Mo Yufeng!"
Hong Yi curled his lips and said slowly, "I'm so sorry, I just remembered that the prince has left the house and told me not to let outsiders in!" When Hong Yi said this, he emphasized the word "outsider", which clearly meant that she was an outsider here and there was no daughter of hers here!
It seems that you are not allowed to enter!
Xuan Yi's face turned even worse, and she growled in a trembling voice, "How dare you! As a servant, you dare to speak to me like that!"
"I'm really sorry. This is Mo Yu Country. You actually came here, so we should treat you well! But if you don't respect this place first, how can you gain the respect of others? This is not Bai Han Country. No one will know that you are the former Princess Xuanyi. So I still advise you to put down your airs here!" Hong Yi's words were sonorous and powerful, and left no room for doubt.
