"Yuzhu, is there any news from the general's mansion?" Li Xia asked.
Chen Yi didn't want to go back. When he mentioned going back to the general's mansion, his eyes started to wet with tears.
Li Xia had no choice but to agree to let him stay in Fengyi Palace for two days.
Several days have passed since Dongfang Xunyi ascended the throne.
The Cikang Hall was almost repaired. After Li Xia was ready to send Chen Yi away, he took the initiative to propose to Dongfang Xunyi to move out of Fengyi Palace.
It is said that a minister in the court had already brought up the issue of the new emperor taking a concubine yesterday.
She is now the empress dowager, so it is not appropriate for her to continue living in Fengyi Palace, the Queen's Palace, in terms of both morals and logic.
Yuzhu bowed and replied, "Her Majesty, according to the spies outside the palace, the Madam has become mentally confused because of the young master's disappearance. She hugs a pillow every day and says it's the young master. As for the master, he was very anxious and sent people to look for him during the first two days when the young master disappeared, but he soon lost his patience. The master heard that the Madam had become crazy, so he stayed at Liu Huakui's residence and did not return to the general's mansion."
She reported to Li Xia what she knew truthfully.
"There must be something hateful about a pitiful person."
When Li Xia heard about Chen's current situation, she snorted coldly.
Whatever means she used to obtain her current status, there will be people who will follow suit and replace her.
The original owner had never offended her, but Chen wanted to kill the original owner out of jealousy.
Nowadays.
Her fate was her own fault.
"Empress Dowager, I have something to say but I don't know whether I should say it or not?" Yuzhu hesitated for a moment, then asked in a low voice, biting her lip.
Li Xia frowned slightly, "Yuzhu, you should know that I have always regarded you and Fuling as sisters."
"Your Highness, I am overthinking." Yuzhu smiled and then said, "Your Highness, what I want to say is that although the young master is truly kind to you, he is your Majesty's son after all. Your Highness should not get too close to the young master, for fear that he will still believe your Majesty's slander in the future."
She stopped there.
There is no need to say more about what comes next.
No matter how much the young master likes the Empress Dowager now, it will never compare to the mother-son relationship between him and his wife.
She was worried that the Empress Dowager would feel even more uncomfortable if the two of them became opponents because of her feelings for him.
"Yuzhu, I know. Let him stay here for today, and send him out of the palace tomorrow morning."
Li Xia knew that Yuzhu said this out of consideration for her.
Although Chen Yi did not do anything wrong, his parents were the root cause.
One day, I will be irreconcilable with them.
By then, their relationship will become incompatible.
Rather than wait until that time, both of them will feel uncomfortable.
It’s better to cut the Gordian knot now.
"Yes, I'll obey your command." Yuzhu nodded in response.
The next day.
“Big sister…”
"Young Master, the Queen will not see you. Please follow me out of the palace."
After Chen Yi knew that Li Xia was going to send him back to the general's mansion, he broke free from the palace maid's hands and ran to her bedroom, wanting to meet Li Xia in person.
Yuzhu followed behind him and persuaded him patiently.
Chen Yi said, "No! I want to see Big Sister." His small body stood stubbornly at the door of the tall bedroom. He raised his hand and kept knocking on the door. "Big Sister, I know you are in there. Xiao Yi doesn't want to go back. Big Sister, please don't chase me away, okay?"
Chen Yi begged Li Xia to keep him.
He thought that two days ago his elder sister would agree to let him stay, or at least she would hate him less.
Unexpectedly, it was just his own imagination.
"Young master, don't make things difficult for the Empress Dowager." Yuzhu half-bowed and leaned towards Chen Yi.
The young master is still young and doesn't understand many things, which is why he clings to the Empress Dowager so much.
Wait until he grows up.
He will realize that his relationship with the Queen Mother can only end here.
Li Xia heard the sound of knocking on the door outside the palace in her bedroom. She frowned slightly and resisted the urge to make any sound.
After a while.
When Chen Yi saw that Li Xia had not come out or said anything, he understood.
Big sister will really never see him again.
He dropped his hands in disappointment, lowered his head, bit his lip and said nothing.
“Emperor…”
"What's going on?"
Dongfang Xunyi saw this scene when he arrived at Fengyi Palace. Chen Yi, who seemed very energetic two days ago, now looked like a frosted eggplant, wilted. When he saw him coming, he just raised his eyes slightly without saying a word.
Yuzhu didn't notice Dongfang Xunyi's arrival at first.
It was not until he and Xiao Luzi came closer that she hurriedly prepared to salute.
Dongfang Xunyi saw this and looked at Yuzhu, waving his sleeves, exempting her from the formality with his action.
Yuzhu lowered her head and bowed, "In reply to the emperor, the Empress Dowager asked me to take the young master back to the general's mansion. The young master didn't want to leave the palace, so he was a little unhappy."
"Oh." Dongfang Xunyi nodded and said, "Is the Queen Mother in there?"
"Um."
Yuzhu nodded slightly.
Dongfang Xunyi was not very clear about what happened to Li Xia in the general's mansion before.
But he vaguely heard that her grandfather died in the war not long after, and the general's daughter, Li Xia's mother, passed away soon after.
She was the only one left in the general's mansion.
I have never heard that Li Xia has a younger brother.
With this guess, we can know that Chen Yi should be the son born to her father outside.
Yuzhu blinked and said, "Your Majesty, are you looking for the Empress Dowager? Then I will tell Her Majesty."
The Emperor is the Empress Dowager's only reliance in the harem.
She dared not neglect His Majesty the Emperor.
I don't expect the Emperor to respect His Majesty as much as he respects his own mother.
If only he could show a little more respect to the Empress Dowager.
By then, the new maids and concubines in the palace will also think twice and dare not be disrespectful in front of the empress.
"It's okay." Dongfang Xunyi shook his head. "I just passed by Fengyi Palace and came in to take a look. Since the Queen Mother has something to deal with, I will go back first and come back another day."
Yuzhu glanced quietly at the tightly closed palace door. She didn't dare to say anything on her own initiative to keep the emperor, so she could only nod and bow.
After Dongfang Xunyi left.
Yuzhu ordered the other two palace maids to cooperate, and they worked together to take Chen Yi away from Fengyi Palace with force.
“Squeak—”
"Host, why didn't you see the male protagonist of the world just now?"
After everyone had left Fengyi Palace, Li Xia opened the door to the bedroom.
The system then asked her doubtfully.
Li Xia replied: "It can only be said that Dongfang Xunyi came at the wrong time."
After what happened just now, when she came out, Chen Yi was even more reluctant to leave.
Of course, in addition to this, Li Xia also had other intentions.
