News spreads like wind.
The palace gates had already been locked.
But the news from the princess's mansion spread to Ci'an Palace as if it had wings.
It disturbed the sleeping Queen Mother.
After all, she was the girl who grew up in her care. In the past, the empress dowager doted on her and loved her deeply.
Now, her life is at stake.
I need a doctor to save my life.
Even if there are conflicts between them.
How could the Queen Mother really turn a blind eye?
She waved her hand with a dizzy head.
...
...
"Pass on my oral order, and ask Lord Xuanyuanzheng to go to the Princess's Mansion and take a good look at Zhaoyang."
Qiaozhen stepped back in response.
The Queen Mother lay down again, but couldn't fall asleep.
"How's the prince doing?"
Nanny Gui said, "Today we received a letter saying that the prince's health has improved greatly. He will be able to fully recover after more than a month of recuperation."
The Queen Mother sighed heavily.
"The emperor is now so capable that it seems that I and the prince are becoming increasingly useless."
Nanny Gui hesitated and wanted to say something, but stopped herself.
"Just say whatever you want to say. You've been with me since you were a child, and we've been friends for decades. What's there to be ashamed of?"
Nanny Gui looked at the increasingly haggard empress dowager with heartache.
"Queen, I have been following you since I was little. You may be able to hide your thoughts from others, but not from me. I know that you care most about things other than your own. Why do you have to oppose your majesty in every way and make both you and your majesty unhappy?"
Nanny Gui said earnestly, "That Miss Su, I think she is very strange. She brings all kinds of strange things all day long to please you, the Queen Mother. But we can't find out her origins no matter what we do. Don't you think this is suspicious?"
Logically speaking, with Xiao Linshen's power, it would be easy to find out a person's background.
But the Queen Mother used the Wang family's connections and Xiao Linshen's power, but still failed to find out any details about Miss Su. It was as if she appeared out of nowhere.
There is no past, no record.
It appears when you want it to come and disappears when you don’t want it to come.
"you mean?"
The Queen Mother hesitated.
Nanny Gui continued, "Queen Dowager, think about the rumors in the North. Your Majesty was able to achieve a great victory under such difficult circumstances. Is there a possibility that the goddess, magic water, and magic weapons in the rumors are all true?"
The Queen Mother's heart skipped a beat.
"But I didn't notice anything wrong with that girl."
"If she is really a goddess, disguised as a mortal, how can we, with our mortal bodies, tell the difference?"
"Queen Mother, think about it, even though this palace is huge and there are so many people living inside, why has it taken so long and we still haven't found the girl's hiding place?"
"Your Majesty is very busy. Even if he violates etiquette and lets Miss Su eat and sleep with him, Your Majesty is busy attending court and meeting with court officials all day long. We have never seen him take that girl with him for twelve hours a day!"
"Even in your Majesty's bedroom, there is no trace of Miss Su living there. Don't you find it strange?"
yes.
Naturally strange.
There is a difference between a person living here every day and living here occasionally.
Not to mention anything else, even a girl's monthly menstruation would not leave any traces.
In your Majesty's palace, the people serving are still the same.
Miss Su had no personal maid to serve her. Every time she entered or left the palace, she was always accompanied by Pojun.
This is not normal.
"If she is really a goddess, wholeheartedly assisting Your Majesty, stabilizing the government, and gathering power, then who will be the first person Your Majesty will deal with after he succeeds?"
"Even if you don't fear life or death, there's still Silence Alley. You have to think carefully about the owner there!"
Nanny Gui is indeed the most caring old nanny around the Empress Dowager.
Every word touched the Empress Dowager's heart.
"Think about it. Miss Su clearly wants to make friends with you and ease the relationship between you and His Majesty. Why don't you go with the flow? Take the opportunity she offers you and make peace with His Majesty?"
"But……"
The Queen Mother still hesitated.
"What about Ah Shen? He has been planning for me for half his life and has managed to hold on until now. How can I abandon him at this moment?"
The young man admired Ai and his heart was pounding.
A Shen is the driving force that has kept her going all these years.
He has been deeply integrated into her bones and blood. She can neither abandon him nor betray him.
These words that Nanny Gui said to the Empress Dowager in a heart-to-heart talk had been lingering in her mind for a long time.
There are some things that the Queen Mother cannot see clearly or understand because she is in the middle of the situation.
But she, as a bystander, sees things more clearly.
He sees it more clearly than the Empress Dowager.
"Queen Mother, Your Majesty, the situation is irreversible. If you can persuade the prince, please do so. This is the best policy. If everyone can survive and have a happy ending, why do you want to rush towards death?"
There were tears in Aunt Gui's eyes.
The candle flame jumped in the flickering light.
The tears on her face were particularly glaring.
"You are thinking about the prince wholeheartedly, but I see that the prince's heart may not be entirely with you, the queen mother. If you can't persuade him and the prince still insists on his own way, I will speak to you from the bottom of my heart even if it means the queen mother will be unhappy. If the prince is determined to be an enemy of Your Majesty in the end, you should make plans early and withdraw as soon as possible."
Originally, Wang of Langya had retired from the court for many years.
When the old patriarch was still alive, he no longer interfered in the affairs of the court.
However, since the death of the old patriarch, the current patriarch, the Queen Mother's brother, has frequently taken action to test Your Majesty's bottom line again and again.
If one day, Your Majesty insists on taking action against Wang.
With so many handles in hand, how could Wang have any chance of turning things around?
"A wise bird chooses the right tree to roost in. Even for your own sake and that of the owner of the Alley, you should think carefully about what to do in the future!"
If this is the case, I'm afraid no one in the world would tell the Empress Dowager about it except Nanny Gui.
How could the Queen Mother not understand Nanny Gui’s painstaking efforts?
But, asking her to give up Xiao Linshen?
How could she bear to do that?
"Please let me think about it, and... think about it again!"
Nanny Gui helped the empress dowager lie down again, covered her with a quilt attentively, and replaced the cold hot water bottle with a new one.
The hot water bottle was placed at the Queen Mother's feet, and she was warmed up in an instant.
"I will stay outside tonight. Queen Mother, please go to bed early. Princess Zhaoyang will probably take the opportunity to enter the palace tomorrow. Queen Mother, you need to conserve your energy."
Princess Zhaoyang caused this incident, which not only slapped the face of the Duke of Ruguo's Mansion, but also brought shame to the Queen Mother.
A princess who was personally conferred by the late emperor, a cousin of the empress dowager, and was raised by the empress dowager.
She was caught in public having an affair with the young master of the Duke of Ru, and yet she hanged herself to refuse the marriage?
If the Queen Mother doesn't want to cause a rift with His Majesty, she has to personally resolve these troublesome matters.
