Chapter 130 The Dali Temple is heavily guarded, how can one steal the show?
Gu Junze and Chu Ruohan turned around and left helplessly, but they did not walk towards the palace, but towards the Cining Palace where the Queen Mother lived.
In this palace, the only person who can talk to the emperor and distinguish right from wrong is probably the empress dowager.
Chu Ruohan and Gu Junze were once again turned away.
Chu Ruohan's hopes were dashed and tears welled up in her eyes.
An old nanny with a kind face and dressed in dark palace clothes came out with the help of a palace maid.
She looked at Chu Ruohan and Gu Junze with a gentle gaze, then knelt down and saluted, "This old servant greets the Crown Prince and the Crown Prince's wife."
When Gu Junze was very young, he was raised by the Empress Dowager for a period of time, and this old nanny was responsible for taking care of his daily life.
"No need to be so polite, Madam Sun. Get up quickly."
"The Empress Dowager heard about your situation and is deeply concerned. However, she is not feeling well today and cannot see any guests."
Chu Ruohan's heart sank. She took a step forward and tightly grasped the old nanny's hand. "Mammy, please tell the Queen Mother to save my parents. They've been framed."
The old nanny gently patted Chu Ruohan's hand and comforted her, "Madam, I understand your feelings, but the Queen Mother is indeed ill now and cannot be bothered."
"Furthermore, the harem is not allowed to interfere in government affairs, and even the Empress Dowager is no exception."
Gu Junze frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and then said, "Madam Sun, we also understand the difficulties faced by the Empress Dowager."
"But the Chu family is in a critical situation right now. If we can't find out the truth as soon as possible, I'm afraid there will be a catastrophe."
"You have been with the Queen Mother for many years and know her very well. She has always been compassionate and will never watch the Chu family suffer injustice."
"I hope you can say a few good words for us in front of the Empress Dowager, even if it's just to point us in the right direction."
Nanny Sun hesitated for a moment, looked around, and seeing that no one was paying attention, she lowered her voice and said, "Master, Madam, I have a piece of news for you."
"The Emperor is furious about this matter, and the Dali Temple has 'ironclad evidence'. I'm afraid direct pleading won't work."
The tone changed, "It's just a matter of beads. Whether it is Dongzhu or not is still unknown."
Nanny Sun emphasized these words very much, and Chu Ruohan understood them instantly.
Isn’t Dongzhu just a very big pearl?
If it weren't for Dongzhu, the problem would have been easily solved.
But the Dali Temple is heavily guarded, how can they do something secretly?
"Thank you, Madam Sun." Chu Ruohan bowed deeply.
Nanny Sun raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a gentle yet cautious smile.
"I didn't say anything! Today, once you two leave this palace, just treat it as a gust of wind and forget it."
Chu Ruohan understood and nodded heavily, her eyes full of determination: "Don't worry, Ma'am, we are well aware of this. We will never forget your kindness today and will definitely not cause you any trouble."
After saying that, she bowed again, but was supported by Nanny Sun, who stuffed something into her hand and patted her hand...
The afterglow of the setting sun shone on them, stretching their shadows out...
Nanny Sun, supported by the palace maids, turned around and reported to the empress dowager.
The hall is filled with a faint scent of sandalwood, and the light is soft and quiet.
The Queen Mother was half-leaning on the couch, holding a scroll of scriptures in her hands. When she saw Nanny Sun come in, she gently put it down, raised her eyes and asked, "Are they gone?"
Nanny Sun hurried forward, knelt and saluted, and replied respectfully, "In reply to the Queen Mother, the Crown Prince and his wife have already left."
"The Crown Prince's wife is quite clever. She understood everything without crying or making a fuss."
The Queen Mother raised her lips slightly, these two children were also desperate and were trying all kinds of treatment.
Things like Dongzhu are specially supplied to the royal family.
Even though the Chu family is the richest family in Beijing, it is not easy to get in touch with them. Moreover, after getting such a treasure, they should not only keep it well, but also put it in the corner of the closet.
It's clearly a frame-up.
But Your Majesty, how could you not see such a simple plan?
Her son!
He is becoming more and more profit-seeking and harm-avoiding, cold-blooded and ruthless, just like the late emperor.
"Qiuju, you said these two kids have been married for almost half a year, but why is there no sign of pregnancy?"
The Queen Mother's thoughts changed so quickly that for a moment, Nanny Sun was unable to react.
She was slightly startled, then reacted, "Empress Dowager, the prince and his wife are probably still young and haven't put their minds to this yet."
"However, the Crown Prince and his wife have a deep relationship and love each other very much. I think it won't be long before you have a big fat great-grandson."
The Queen Mother sighed softly, "Anyang died early, leaving behind only Junze, and his health is not very good. At my age, I am looking forward to holding my great-grandson soon, playing with him and enjoying the happiness of family."
"This matter of having children is a big deal. Once this is over, find an opportunity to send some fertility-enhancing prescriptions over."
In the palace, apart from harming people, the most common method is to assist in pregnancy.
Nanny Sun nodded quickly and said, "Yes, Empress Dowager, I will remember this."
"After some time, I will find a suitable opportunity to talk to the Crown Prince and his wife about this matter."
The Queen Mother narrowed her eyes slightly, "If that doesn't work, send two surrogate mothers over..."
Nanny Sun replied respectfully, "Yes, I understand."
The Queen Mother leaned on the couch and slowly closed her eyes, as if she was imagining how to hold the child?
After a while, she opened her eyes again, with a look of majesty in her eyes: "Qiuju, you should pay more attention to the Chu family's affairs. If those two children encounter any difficulties, please help them if you can..."
On the other side, Gu Junze and Chu Ruohan sat side by side in the carriage on the way back.
The noise outside the car window gradually faded away, leaving only the sound of the wheels rolling in my ears.
Chu Ruohan lowered her eyes and remained silent the entire way. The thought of her parents being imprisoned weighed heavily on her heart, making it almost impossible for her to breathe.
Gu Junze glanced at her sideways, his eyes full of heartache. He softly comforted her, "Han'er, don't worry too much. There will always be a way. What Mammy meant just now..."
Before he finished speaking, Chu Ruohan slowly raised her head and met Gu Junze's gaze full of concern and worry.
Then he stretched out the hand that had been hidden in his sleeve.
An exquisitely carved token emitting a faint luster appeared in her palm.
Gu Junze had seen the Empress Dowager's token once. With this thing, he was not afraid of the Dali Temple?
She had planned everything for them...
