Zou Yangyao, who had a high fever, woke up at this time. The servants were very surprised and hurried to call a doctor.
Zou Yangyao looked very weak and asked, "Why did you go and ask the doctor? Why did you call the lady over?"
Yesterday was their wedding night, but he couldn't make it and fell into a coma. He felt really ashamed when he thought about it. He also had no idea how he had resolved yesterday's incident.
A maidservant still stood there, looking at Zou Yangyao in embarrassment, and then responded: "General, you were unconscious yesterday and you may not know that the Madam was taken into the palace by the Queen Mother, and you only hit her with less than half of the hundred sticks."
Zou Yangyao obviously did not expect the maid's words. He looked at the maid in surprise.
Then he wanted to get up and move, but even the slightest movement made him feel pain all over.
The maid quickly held Zou Yangyao down and said, "General, you'd better take good care of your injuries. If Madam were here, she would definitely want you to take good care of yourself. When you recover, the Queen Mother might even let Madam return to the palace."
Zou Yangyao's face was full of doubts: "Empress Dowager, why did you let my wife enter the palace? What happened on the wedding day?"
Facing Zou Yangyao's questioning, the servant told him everything in detail.
When Ni Yueshan from the Regent's Palace heard that Zou Yangyao had woken up, he immediately went to the General's Mansion.
Seeing Zou Yangyao struggling to drink the medicine, Ni Yueshan immediately apologized, "I'm so sorry, General Zou. On our wedding night, an unintentional competition ruined our wedding like this."
Ni Yueshan sighed as he spoke, and seemed a little apologetic.
Zou Yangyao frowned, as if he didn't quite believe Ni Yueshan.
He questioned, "Why didn't you protect Chu'er yesterday? Chu'er is used to practicing medicine in the Jianghu, so how could she know the rules of the palace? Yesterday at the General's Mansion, the Queen Mother punished us so harshly. If it was in the palace, wouldn't she have found any excuse to execute Chu'er?"
Even though Zou Yangyao was in great pain in his back, he scolded Ni Yueshan without any hesitation.
Qingluan and Qingfeng stood behind Ni Yueshan. Upon hearing Zou Yangyao's words, Qingfeng immediately scolded him, "General Zou, our princess came to visit you with good intentions, and you speak to her like this?"
Facing Qing Feng's scolding, Zou Yangyao didn't feel that he was at fault at all. He continued to speak confidently and righteously: "Whether you and your wife are to blame for this matter, this general will not argue with you. You know it in your heart!"
Zou Yangyao looked at Ni Yueshan angrily: "If you are truly sincere, bring Chu'er out of the palace! Come, show her away!"
Zou Yangyao didn't want to say another word to Ni Yueshan. After giving the order, he turned his head to the side and didn't intend to pay any more attention to anything.
The maidservant beside her said with some embarrassment: "Princess, please... leave."
Ni Yueshan did not open his mouth to argue, but only said: "General, have a good rest."
Then the man walked out.
Ni Yueshan did not return to the palace, but went to the palace to ask to see Miao Qinghua.
It was already afternoon, and a long time had passed since lunch break. Ni Yueshan asked for a meeting, but the palace servant responded that Miao Qinghua was still resting and asked Ni Yueshan to wait patiently.
Ni Yueshan frowned, but finally responded calmly: "If the Queen Mother wakes up, please inform her immediately."
Then comes a long and patient wait.
Although it is autumn now, the sun is still a little too hot. Qingluan and Qingfeng stood behind him, their faces full of worry.
"Princess, why don't you pretend to be unconscious so you can take a rest!" Qingluan suggested.
Ni Yueshan frowned and said, "I've been standing here for two hours, and it's not even sunny. If I pretend to faint, no one will believe me!"
Qing Feng followed up, "Princess, the Queen Mother is obviously deliberately neglecting you. Even if we pretend to be unconscious, she should see through it without saying anything!"
Ni Yueshan didn't say anything, still standing there with his back straight, waiting for Miao Qinghua to summon him.
Gradually, the high sun moved slowly to the west, the sky was dyed orange, and the sunset glow seemed to stretch for thousands of miles, which was extremely beautiful.
Ni Yueshan felt her legs stiffen and she could no longer stand. At this moment, a palace maid came out and respectfully reported, "Princess, the Queen Mother has awakened. Please follow me into the palace!"
Ni Yueshan took a step forward and walked into the hall.
Inside the hall, Miao Qinghua was sitting upright, holding up the teacup in front of her. Ni Yueshan glanced at her but didn't see Xiao Chuer.
She bowed politely to Miao Qinghua and said, "Greetings, Queen Mother!"
Miao Qinghua looked at Ni Yueshan with a calm expression, "Princess, you came to the palace to see me, but no palace servant woke me up. I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."
Ni Yueshan frowned, "No, Your Majesty, you are already resting. As a minister, I should wait as long as possible. But yesterday, Your Majesty brought the general's wife into the palace, and I wanted to see her so that I could ask about my husband's illness."
Ni Yueshan spoke directly, without beating around the bush. Miao Qinghua was surprised when she heard this: "Shouldn't the Prince Regent be fully recovered? Otherwise, I should send an imperial physician."
Ni Yueshan immediately refused: "Thank you, Queen Mother, for your kindness. The General's wife was the first to contact me, so it is natural that she should be the one to make the follow-up visit. It is most appropriate."
Ni Yueshan's words were neither humble nor arrogant, but they made some sense. Miao Qinghua looked at the palace maid and said, "Go, invite them over!"
Not long after the palace maid respectfully left, Xiao Chuer was brought in.
When Xiao Chu'er saw Ni Yueshan, she quickly shifted her gaze, lowered her head, and saluted Miao Qinghua: "Greetings, Queen Mother."
Then he turned around and bowed to Ni Yueshan: "Greetings, Princess!"
