Chapter 480 Old Lady

In Yu's study.

Helian Yue sent Wu'an Hou away and was dealing with the memorials at hand when Ying Wu suddenly appeared.

As the secret guard who stayed by his side to replace Wu Lie, Ying Wu was also responsible for reporting some of the news sent back by the secret guards.

Presenting the secret letter in his hand, Ying Wu spoke briefly,

"Prince Li has already found out where King Cheng is, but King Cheng has no intention of meeting him yet."

"The secret guards who secretly followed Concubine Lian also sent back news that she did not return to Huguo Temple after leaving with the young man named Xiang Tian, ​​but led people north, apparently to Xuancheng."

"Xuancheng?" Helian Yue frowned slightly and quickly glanced at the secret letter in his hand. It did not state the purpose of Bai Qianqian's going to Xuancheng, but since Bai Qianqian had awakened her consciousness as a woman, she must have other purposes for going to Xuancheng.

"Let the secret guards around Concubine Lian investigate her purpose and show up when necessary to escort her back to the Huguo Temple."

Helian Yue did not intend to let Bai Qianqian plot outside forever. It was enough to have Xiang Tian by her side for the time being.

He also didn't believe that Bai Qianqian would dare to disobey the order, unless she never wanted to return to the palace again.

After instructing Ying Wu to pass the message back, Helian Yue thought about it and stood up.

"Move to Yuxiu Palace." He paused and signaled the palace servants, "Move these memorials over as well."

You have to spend more time with the person before he or she is coaxed.

Less than two hours after Helian Yue left Yuxiu Palace, the news that he had returned with his men spread throughout the harem in the blink of an eye.

Empress Dowager Sheng naturally received the news. Nanny Jin Xin looked at the Empress Dowager sitting on the couch with her eyes closed counting her Buddhist beads and could not help but speak in a deep voice,

"I saw how favored Lang Zhaoyi was on the road, but I didn't expect that after returning to the palace, the emperor treated her even more favorably."

Not only did he secretly allow her to leave the Holy Chariot Team and return home for a day, but he also punished the entire kitchen for her.

After serving the emperor in bed today, I was promoted immediately, and I was promoted two levels directly.

Now he was eager to go to her palace again.

Nanny Jinxin had seen how the late emperor doted on the concubine, and was very worried about the emperor's current condition.

"There is no need to worry about what happens between young people. As long as they don't disrupt the rules of the palace, it's fine."

It is said that these are the rules of the palace, but everyone knows that the emperor is the rules.

If not for this, according to ancestral rules, there is no reason for the emperor to allow these concubines to be unfavored.

Empress Dowager Sheng said this slowly, her eyes narrowed, her brows still sharp as always, her voice slow and firm, "Your Majesty is different from the late emperor."

The previous emperor was absurd, but Your Majesty always knew what he wanted.

Now he has just found what he wanted.

Although she is the empress dowager, if she really interferes in which concubine the emperor favors, her relationship with the emperor will not be as harmonious as it is now.

Jin Xin only mentioned it briefly, and she didn't mean to urge the Queen Mother to discipline the Emperor. After hearing what she said, she stopped talking and continued, "Marquis Wu'an just entered the palace. I heard that the old lady in the mansion was ill, so he specially asked the Emperor for grace and brought several doctors out of the palace."

Hearing that the old lady in Wu'an Marquis's mansion was ill, Empress Dowager Sheng's usually stern eyes showed a rare bit of concern and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

"I sent someone to ask her, and she said she had been having chest tightness and couldn't eat for several days. The doctors outside the palace and the visiting doctors couldn't diagnose the specific cause, so she rushed to the palace and wanted to invite a few more doctors to take a look."

Empress Dowager Sheng frowned slightly. The old lady of the Wu'an Marquis's Mansion was 88 years old this year. Even when she was young, she had been taught by her. Not to mention that when Helian Yue ascended the throne, the old lady clearly led the Shen family to stand on the side. She also stood up to speak for the late emperor when he was planning to deal with Helian Yue to pave the way for King Cheng.

The old lady is the pillar of support for the Wu'an Marquis' Mansion. With her around, even if the Wu'an Marquis' Mansion does something out of line, the emperor will always show some leniency for the old lady's sake.

This was also the reason why Shen Rongrong dared to express her love to the emperor even though she knew her family intended to marry her to the prince.

"Give the five-hundred-year-old ginseng in my storehouse to the old lady, and tell her it's a small token of my appreciation. Also give her some nourishing herbs."

"Yes, I will prepare it right away."

Seeing Jin Xin leave, Empress Dowager Sheng no longer had the heart to continue chanting. She put the Buddhist beads in her hand aside and picked up the fat beetle cat beside her.

Ever since Lang Zhaoyi gave the cat rice recipe, the cat has become visibly fatter.

However, the hair is also smoother.

The slightly wrinkled hands gently stroked Fuhua's hair, and Empress Dowager Sheng's voice was a little low.

"Fuhua, you must pray that the old lady will live longer. The current Marquis of Wu'an is confused. If she dies..."

Empress Dowager Sheng did not say anything else, and Fuhua did not understand either. He just lay on the Empress Dowager's lap, looking very happy.
