"Give him a reward, Granny, quickly wrap a big red envelope for Eunuch Bai. Has the Emperor said anything else...?"
When the Empress heard Bai Qing mention the Emperor, she became much more excited than before.
He was even happier than when he heard that Jiang Wuyou and His Highness Prince Jing were engaged.
She has been confined to Fengyi Palace for a whole month!
For the past month, she has been unable to move an inch and has been unable to leave Fengyi Palace.
Correspondingly, apart from the people sent by the emperor to deliver meals and take her pulse, she was unable to see anyone else.
And none of the people she had previously placed had a chance to send the message in.
So for the past month, she has lived a life almost like an isolated island, with no one to turn to for help.
The commotion outside didn't reach her ears at all.
However, she also gained some benefits from doing this, all of which manifested in her body.
Empress Jiang Qiuyue thought about the face she had seen this morning; it was rosy and much rounder.
Her current state could be described as one of contentment and ease, though she doesn't wish to be overly plump.
Oh dear, what if I displease the Emperor?
Well, we've gotten off-topic...
Jiang Qiuyue was deeply moved when she recalled that the Emperor had specially instructed Eunuch Bai to come and see her.
Your Majesty... could it be... that you've been thinking about me all along?
What would he instruct Bai Qing to do? Would he summon her to an audience?
Just as Jiang Qiuyue was lost in thought, she noticed that Bai Qing was unusually silent.
The Empress's heart began to slowly sink...
Bai Qing did hate his current clumsy tongue, because when he closed his eyes, all he could see in his mind was the image of the Emperor missing the Crown Princess so much that he was driven mad by longing.
Although he was now assigned to serve outside the palace, he could still sometimes see the Emperor touching the portrait of the Crown Princess inside the palace.
On several other occasions, even though there was no one else in the palace, he could hear his emperor talking to someone from outside the door.
Bai Qing knew these people; they were the legendary Shadow Guards, who were rarely seen!
He didn't know why the emperor had summoned these people.
But one thing is certain: it is definitely related to the Crown Princess!
Now, if Bai Qing were to lie and say that the Emperor misses the Empress, he really wouldn't be able to say it.
The light that had been burning in the Empress's eyes gradually died down, and the hatred she had felt for the Crown Princess, which had been waning, reignited.
"Your Majesty... Has Your Majesty truly never mentioned me, not even once?"
The Empress was still somewhat unwilling to give up. She didn't realize how much she had done for the Emperor, how much she wanted to please him with all her heart.
However, all it takes for the Crown Princess to do is make Sheng Jin lose his mind and have no one else in his heart.
Why, why?
The Empress's eyes were filled with rage. She was extremely unwilling to accept that all her efforts over the years had been in vain!
Perhaps because she had rested well for a month, her anger this time did not cause her any discomfort.
At least I'm not as easily angered as I used to be, to the point of fainting.
"Eunuch Bai, I am now much better. Please tell the Emperor that I wish to leave the palace immediately!"
The Queen's tone was unusually firm, carrying a hint of brooking no refusal, as if she were possessed and would go mad if refused!
Bai Qing never intended to refuse, and besides, he had no room to refuse at all.
The Emperor had already grown tired of him; if he also lost the Empress's favor, what chance did he have of surviving in the palace?
"Yes, Your Majesty, rest assured, this servant will do his utmost to handle this matter for you!"
