Chapter 186 Queen Mother
Si Linglong was alert in her heart, but she responded as usual, "Thank you for your concern, Concubine Lian. I took the medicine yesterday and I am feeling much better now."
Hearing Si Linglong's answer, Bai Qianqian's smile deepened, "Oh, it seems that Concubine Lang Gui has found a good prescription."
Si Linglong was puzzled. Just as she was about to speak, she heard a cold yet familiar female voice coming from behind her.
"If Concubine Lian is interested in the medical prescription, I will ask Doctor Yu to write a prescription for you when I get back, so you don't have to worry about it all day."
His tone was cold, but his words were domineering.
Si Linglong turned her head and saw Gu Qingquan and the palace maids walking into the yard alone, still looking lonely and aloof.
Si Linglong seemed to have found the organization in an instant. With bright eyes, she quickly walked towards Gu Qingquan, with a well-behaved face, "Sister Quanfei."
[As expected of my goddess, Sister Quan is also very cool today. 】
"Yeah." Gu Qingquan responded lightly. After what happened with her father, she was indeed grateful to Si Linglong. In addition, she was also a concubine valued by the emperor, so she habitually protected her a little more.
But, this Concubine Lang Gui seems to be very close to her?
She always liked to be alone and was not used to outsiders getting close to her, but this person's eyes sparkled every time he saw her. Gu Qingquan got used to it and inexplicably began to protect Concubine Lang Gui as if she were his own.
Bai Qianqian had mentioned it on purpose, but she didn't expect Gu Qingquan to suddenly show up, and he was clearly trying to protect Concubine Lang Guipin.
It was the same during the last sacrifice, and I had no idea what was wrong with Concubine Quan.
But Bai Qianqian knew very well in her heart that although both were women from military families, Gu Qingquan and Shen Rongrong were completely different.
At least, not someone she could easily provoke.
But what did she mean by that?
I was clearly talking about Si Linglong, but she insisted that she was thinking about the medical prescription... Thinking of the Si Linglong hairdressing prescription that she had someone secretly take away before, Bai Qianqian felt a little uneasy.
Could it be that Concubine Tsuen knew something?
Bai Qianqian thought too much and couldn't help feeling guilty. Before she could say anything, she saw a maid walk out of Shouxin Hall and said to the concubines, "The Queen Mother invites all the ladies in."
The moment the words fell, all the concubines present stopped watching the excitement and entered according to their rank. Si Linglong naturally walked in at the end.
In front of the main hall, the empress dowager sat on the main seat. She was about sixty years old, and although she took good care of herself, she could not hide the wrinkles between her eyebrows. A few white hairs could be vaguely seen on her forehead, but they were all combed back meticulously. She was wearing a long brown dress with a cloud pattern. It was not very luxurious, but just sitting there quietly, she gave people a sense of dignity and solemnity.
"Your servants and others pay their respects to the Empress Dowager. May the Empress Dowager live a thousand years."
Si Linglong followed a group of concubines and paid their respects to the empress dowager at the top of the seat.
The Queen Mother slowly twirled the beads in her hand and raised her hand to signal everyone, "Everyone, get up."
Everyone stood up and took a seat, then the Queen Mother asked casually about some matters in the palace.
The Queen Mother was not Helian Yue's biological mother, but she played a big role in Helian Yue's smooth ascension to the throne.
However, after Helian Yue ascended the throne, he quickly stabilized the political situation with his decisive and iron-blooded tactics. The empress dowager took the initiative to go to Yutai Mountain to worship Buddha, and stayed there for more than a year, never interfering in the affairs of the court again.
Perhaps because of this, although Helian Yue was cold towards the women in the harem, he was very respectful to the empress dowager.
Si Linglong only remembered that the heroine had borrowed the power of the empress dowager, and Shu Hong had told her all about the empress dowager on the way here. Now that she had seen the real person and combined these rumors with hers, she felt that the empress dowager seemed to be different from the old lady she had imagined, who worshipped Buddha all year round and had a kind face.
As I was thinking this, I suddenly felt a sharp gaze falling on me.
Si Linglong raised her head and suddenly met the Queen Mother's eyes which seemed peaceful but secretly sharp. Then she looked at the eyes around her that were looking at her, and her heart suddenly skipped a beat.
[It’s over. I lost my focus.]
[Um, what were you guys talking about just now? ]
