Chapter 768 Once You Come You Can't Leave
Fu Zhaoning was also a little surprised when he heard that the Queen Mother had come.
She looked at Xiao Lanyuan.
"Would you like to see the Queen Mother?"
"As soon as the Queen Mother entered the city, she went straight to Prince Jun's Mansion. Someone must have deliberately lured her here."
Xiao Lanyuan sighed softly. Because the Queen Mother didn't have many people available now, her information shouldn't be so well-informed.
It's not like he's been in the palace all the time. He just came back from the Huguo Temple. How could he have heard such news right after entering the city? Even if he knew, he should have entered the palace first and not come here in such a hurry.
Someone must have deliberately made his situation sound dangerous.
"The fact that she is so easily attracted shows that she still cares about you. Caring can lead to confusion," said Fu Zhaoning.
Xiao Lanyuan couldn't refute this.
"Your Highness, the butler couldn't stop the Queen Mother. She is now coming to Youning Courtyard." The guard reported.
"Let her come."
Xiao Lanyuan sighed.
Because the Queen Mother has already entered Prince Jun's Mansion, it might be difficult for her to get out, and after she gets out, she probably won't be able to enter the palace again.
The emperor will definitely find a way to stop it.
"A Yuan!"
The Queen Mother's voice trembled as it came closer and closer.
Xiao Lanyuan lay down on the bed, pulled up the quilt, and closed his eyes.
Fu Zhaoning laughed angrily, "No, how are you going to explain this to the Queen Mother? Are you going to tell her? Are you going to hide it from her?"
"Ningning, I leave it to you."
Xiao Lanyuan only said this. For the first twenty years of his relationship with the Queen Mother, they hated each other, acted and pretended to each other.
Now the Queen Mother suddenly doesn't want to play that kind of drama anymore, but he doesn't know how to face her for a while.
It was really difficult for him to deal with her kind and caring words.
"Xiao Lanyuan, I didn't expect you to be such a person!"
"Just say I caught a cold and fell asleep." Xiao Lanyuan opened his eyes and gave her an apologetic look, then he heard the Queen Mother's voice coming to the door. He immediately closed his eyes again and did not move.
Even his breathing became even and calm.
Come on, come on, it really looks like he's fast asleep! If you have the guts, don't pick up the mask and put it on now!
Fu Zhaoning was speechless.
"A Yuan!"
The empress dowager was helped in. Everyone else was waiting outside the door, and only Nanny Gui helped her in.
Fu Zhaoning stood up and asked, "Empress Dowager, why are you here?"
"Zhao Ning," the Queen Mother saw Xiao Lanyuan lying motionless on the bed, her legs felt weak for a moment and she almost fell down, "A Yuan, what's wrong with him——"
Nanny Gui quickly supported her and whispered to her to be careful.
Fu Zhaoning came over and said, "He just caught a cold and got frozen in prison. He took the medicine and fell into a deep sleep."
Xiao Lanyuan is a real dog.
"Cold? In prison? Frozen?"
The Queen Mother walked to his bedside and was stunned when she saw that he was still wearing a mask.
Why was he in his own house, on his own bed, sick, and wearing a mask?
The Queen Mother was suddenly overwhelmed with grief.
Is Xiao Lanyuan's face really ruined? He can't even face his closest wife calmly, right? So he has to wear a mask at this time.
How tired he must be.
I have to hide and hold it in when facing my family at home. When can I finally relax?
This child has such a hard life.
The Queen Mother's tears flowed down her cheeks. She held Fu Zhaoning's hand tightly, looked at her, and said in a trembling voice, "Zhaoning, your medical skills are so good, is it true that you can't cure A Yuan?"
Fu Zhaoning glanced at Xiao Lanyuan lying on the bed.
Her reputation as a doctor was damaged. She had already cured the patient.
"Queen Dowager, he doesn't have any serious problems now." This was all Fu Zhaoning could say.
"Isn't this a big problem? He must be feeling so miserable." The Queen Mother cried even harder.
No, it was just a cold, how could it be a big problem? Didn't she say that he drank medicine and fell asleep? Why did the Queen Mother look like Xiao Lanyuan was the most miserable person in the world?
Fu Zhaoning glanced at Xiao Lanyuan again, and seeing the mask on his face, she felt angry.
I want to take off his mask.
"Don't be too sad, Your Majesty. Your health is the most important thing." Nanny Gui advised.
"Yes, the Queen Mother just returned to the capital from the Huguo Temple, right?"
"That's right. Just after we entered the city, we heard passers-by passing by the carriage saying that Prince Jun was seriously ill. The Queen Mother was so worried that she ordered people to go to Prince Jun's mansion before even entering the palace." Nanny Gui explained. She also wanted Prince Jun and the princess to know the Queen Mother's love and concern for the prince.
"Zhaoning, tell me the truth, did he really just catch a cold?" The Queen Mother wiped her tears.
"Really, it's just a cold. Just take some medicine for two days and rest more and you'll be fine." Fu Zhaoning said.
"But can he sleep so deeply? In the past, A Yuan was very alert and would hear the slightest noise—"
The Queen Mother also knew about these things? It seemed that the Queen Mother did care about Xiao Lanyuan in the past.
Fu Zhaoning had no choice but to say, "I added some sleeping-aiding herbs to the medicine I gave him, just to help him sleep more peacefully."
The Queen Mother looked at her expression and felt that she did not seem to be lying. She looked at the other people and saw that they did not really have any sad or heavy expressions, so she began to believe it a little.
I believe Xiao Lanyuan is fine.
"You just said you were frozen in the prison. What did you mean?"
"Help the Queen Mother sit outside. Xiao Lanyuan is ill after all, so don't let him get too sick." Fu Zhaoning asked Hong Zhuo to come over and help help the Queen Mother go out.
When they arrived at the outer room, the empress dowager sat down and was served hot tea. Only then did she wipe away her tears.
The Queen Mother was a little overwhelmed by the anxiety and worry just now. She had been traveling for a long time, and it was snowing outside, so she was already very tired.
Fu Zhaoning saw that she looked unhappy, so he took out a heart-protecting pill and said, "Queen Mother, this is the heart-protecting pill I made. Would you like to take one first?"
Originally, such casual medication was absolutely unacceptable in the palace, and it was not allowed to be given to the empress dowager so carelessly.
The Empress Dowager generally would not take any medicine unless it was prepared by an imperial physician whom she trusted.
When Nanny Gui saw Fu Zhaoning casually take out a pill, her mouth moved, but she held back and said nothing.
The Queen Mother took it and put it into her mouth without much hesitation.
"This medicine is fragrant."
It’s really not as bad as the medicines made by the imperial doctors.
"I added honey," said Fu Zhaoning, "and some flowers."
Are there flowers added to the heart-protecting pill?
The Queen Mother was very surprised.
But after eating it, she clearly felt a little warmth in her stomach, which soon spread to her heart, and she felt her whole body was warm.
"This medicine is very good—" the Queen Mother was shocked.
There is no such good medicine in the palace!
"Thank you, Zhaoning, but I still want to hear what's going on in the prison?" The Queen Mother said anxiously.
