Chapter 767 Leading the Queen Mother
"Your Majesty, I have asked people to pay attention to Prince Xiao's condition."
"Well, don't get too close."
The emperor sighed, "By the way, didn't they say the Queen Mother has arrived?"
"We were supposed to arrive yesterday, but the snowstorm slowed down our progress, so we are just entering the city now."
"Go, pass the message and let her know that Prince Jun is sick."
"yes."
The emperor gently stroked his jade ring, his expression a little gloomy.
The gates of Prince Jun's Mansion were still closed today, but the people he sent to inquire brought back news that the atmosphere in Prince Jun's Mansion was heavy.
It was obvious that Xiao Lanyuan had not yet recovered.
Moreover, Fu Zhaoning had not left the palace yet. Her parents had finally returned after more than ten years, and as a girl who was not even twenty years old, she must stay at home to look after them and ask them where they had been and what they had been doing all these years.
After all, how can one finish talking in one day?
Also, we have to discuss with them how to explain to Prince Jun, right?
Prince Jun has to find a way to resolve the hatred he has had for them for so many years, right?
For such a big thing, she should be running back and forth.
But once she entered Prince Jun's mansion, she locked herself in and refused to leave. What does this mean? This means that Xiao Lanyuan is really ill, and his illness must be serious!
This means that he was very likely infected by the man who was infected with the dirty disease.
Very likely!
Now he wanted the Queen Mother to go in and check. If Prince Jun was really infected with that disease, the Queen Mother would not be able to come out after she went in.
Anyway, as long as it is confirmed, he will announce to the people of the whole city that Prince Jun is infected with syphilis.
By then, Prince Jun will have lost all his dignity and it will be hard to see how he can stay in the capital!
Concubine Le knew that he was planning these things, and spoke to him softly when she brought him the ginseng soup.
"Your Majesty, what disease do you think Prince Jun has?"
"I don't know. Princess Jun is here, so I didn't send the imperial physician."
The emperor didn't want to say too much to her.
There is no point in saying more as the matter has not yet come to a conclusion.
"I wonder if Prince Jun's face will get worse because of his illness?" Concubine Le glanced at him and deliberately brought it up, "If it really gets worse, will Prince Jun really not dare to go out in the future?"
Huh?
An idea suddenly occurred to the emperor.
Face?
He suddenly had an inspiration. If Prince Jun had not yet been confirmed to have contracted that disease, he could also confirm the disease for him and bite to death that Prince Jun's face was rotten because of the disease!
Anyway, he just happened to be in contact with the patient, so he would definitely not be able to refute it!
He used this incident to force Prince Jun to hand over the Dragon Shadow Guards. He was afraid that the Dragon Shadow Guards would also be infected with the disease. If the Dragon Shadow Guards were wiped out, wouldn't that be a shame to the royal family and the emperor?
How else can Xiao Lanyuan resist?
When the emperor thought of this plan, his eyes lit up. He felt that this was absolutely feasible!
Of course, we can wait and make sure. It would be great if he really has contracted a serious disease!
"My beloved concubine is truly my lucky charm. My dear, come here, let me kiss her--" The emperor was in a good mood. He hugged Concubine Le and kissed her face.
The two faces were put together, one was youthful and invincible, the other had loose and wrinkled skin, it was a picture that was hard to describe.
The snow in the capital was getting heavier.
Main Street had been cleared of snow, but now it was covered again.
The carriage moved slowly.
The Queen Mother sat in the carriage, holding a hand warmer in her arms, with her eyes closed, but she was not asleep.
She had been thinking about what the emperor would ask her after returning to Beijing, and how she would answer. It was also possible that A Yuan had already dealt with the matter.
But this time when she came back, she had already made up her mind to change her attitude towards Xiao Lanyuan.
She no longer wanted to pretend to hate him. She wanted to establish herself as the queen mother and protect him well.
In the past, A Yuan was young and she had many concerns. Now that A Yuan has grown up and has his own abilities and means, she should follow her heart and get along well with him.
Otherwise, who knows when she will step into the gates of hell.
At her age, she doesn't have much time left.
Some people came over in the snow. There were two of them. Maybe because of the wind and snow, they spoke louder, as if they were afraid that the other person couldn't hear them.
"Do you think Prince Jun is well or not? Why is he unconscious again?"
"Even if he's better, wasn't he in jail? He must have suffered a lot in jail. He's not in good health, so it's normal for him to fall ill again, isn't it?"
"That's true. Prince Jun's mansion hasn't opened its doors for two days. I heard that the servants in the mansion all had wooden faces and looked very depressed. Could it be that Prince Jun is really in trouble this time?"
"Empress Dowager, something bad has happened—"
The driver heard the conversation and wondered if the Queen Mother had heard it, so he wanted to tell her about it. The two men sped up as the carriage passed them.
"Is what they just said true?"
The Queen Mother had opened her eyes and her expression changed.
“Why don’t we send someone to Prince Jun’s mansion to inquire about this?” said Nanny Gui, who was sitting in the carriage with the Queen Mother.
She was also a little panicked.
"No, I will go there myself! Don't go back to the palace yet, go directly to Prince Juan's mansion."
The Queen Mother was not at all at ease. Anyway, she was closer to Prince Jun's Mansion at the moment. After returning to the palace, she would have to go through more troubles. She might even have to see the Emperor first. She didn't know how long it took to finish the whole process. How could she bear it!
It would be better to go directly to Prince Jun’s Mansion now.
The Queen Mother and her entourage hurriedly went to Prince Jun's Mansion.
As expected, the gate of Prince Jun's Mansion was closed.
"Go and knock on the door."
The guard went forward and knocked on the door, but no one came to open it after knocking for a long time.
"Tell them I'm here!"
The Queen Mother became anxious and got off the carriage herself.
Aunt Gui quickly helped her walk to the front door.
"Open the door, the Queen Mother is here!"
The gatekeeper of the palace was told to close the door to visitors for the next two days and not to answer anyone knocking on the door.
But when he heard that it was the Queen Mother who came, the doorman almost fell off his chair and sat on the ground. He quickly got up.
The person who came was the Queen Mother, how could he dare to ignore her?
He quickly opened the door and wanted to stop the Queen Mother and ask her to wait for him to go in and report. However, the people around the Queen Mother had already pushed him away, and the Queen Mother went straight in.
"The Empress Dowager is here!" Seeing this, the doorman was a little anxious and could only shout at the top of his lungs to at least alert the housekeeper.
"What? You came too late?"
The housekeeper was also startled when he heard the voice, and quickly sent someone to the backyard, "Quick, go inform the princess first."
He himself led people to go out to meet them.
"Greetings to Her Majesty the Queen Mother—"
The Queen Mother glanced over, looked at Butler Zhong, then looked around again, and then felt that her reaction was a bit redundant. Is it possible that white lanterns are hung in Prince Jun's Mansion now?
