Chapter 469 Palace Affairs
Imperial city, imperial palace.
In Fengzao Palace, the eunuch walked in quickly and said, "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother went to Yinyue Pavilion."
"I understand." The queen said calmly.
The eunuch left after hearing this. He had only come to report.
"Don't worry about it. You should just take care of what's happening and make sure nothing happens to Zhen Xiaoyi." The queen waved her hand.
Several people from Emei responded.
The emperor did not allow Zhen Xiaoyi to go out, but who could stop the queen mother from visiting? Moreover, the queen mother condescended to go to Yinyue Pavilion, which was considered to be giving her enough face as the queen.
Otherwise, if the Queen Mother wanted to see Zhen Xiaoyi and took her to Ci'an Palace, who could really stop her? The Queen Mother held Nanny Hua's hand and entered Yinyue Pavilion. As expected, no one stopped her. The eunuchs and palace maids at the door just greeted her and did not stop her.
The main thing is that the imperial edict did not say that the Empress Dowager was not allowed to come.
All the people around Zhen Xiaoyi have been replaced, and now all the people serving her are new faces.
Hearing that the queen mother had arrived, they hurried to greet her. Zhen Xiaoyi even dragged her sick body out and said, "Aunt!"
She was frightened and aggrieved, and fell ill that day, and has been ill for several days.
"Come in and talk." Empress Dowager Li felt sorry for her when she saw how emaciated she looked, so she sighed.
After entering, Empress Dowager Li looked around. It wasn't a very good place, but it wasn't completely bad either.
For a concubine who was convicted, this is quite good.
She saw the imperial physician and took medicine in time when she was sick, and no one dared to treat her badly.
But he fell from his position as Chongyi, and all the people around him disappeared overnight. Even if the treatment was good, he couldn't bear it.
What's more, she was being wronged.
"Aunt, it really wasn't me who did that. Please save me, aunt. It really wasn't me." Zhen Xiaoyi knelt down and hugged the Queen Mother's legs.
The Queen Mother sighed again, and Nanny Hua helped her stand up: "Don't be like this, Xiaoyi. The Queen Mother naturally knows your grievances. Please sit down and talk first."
Zhen Xiaoyi sat down crying: "It really wasn't me. Nanny Sun and that Xiao Chuanzi must have been instructed by someone." Zhen Xiaoyi said.
The Queen Mother nodded: "I know."
After hearing what she said, Zhen Xiaoyi's fear that had accumulated in her heart for these days was reduced a little: "But the emperor believed it."
"The emperor may not believe it, but the evidence is strong." Empress Dowager Li sighed: "No matter who plotted against you, they had planned it a long time ago. Now there is no evidence to prove your innocence. If the emperor doesn't believe you, how can you keep your life?"
"What should we do then?" Zhen Xiaoyi asked, wiping her tears.
"Don't worry. No matter who did it, the fox's tail will be exposed in the end." The Queen Mother sighed: "It's inevitable that you will have to endure it for a while."
"I'm not afraid of being wronged, I'm just afraid of being wronged forever." Zhen Xiaoyi calmed down and wiped her tears and said, "Luckily I have you, otherwise what would happen to me and the Ninth Prince?"
"It's your fault for not keeping a close watch on your subordinates. Look around you, they're like sieves. The poison was sent to the Internal Criminal Department without any investigation to determine where it came from. And the people around the Ninth Prince, the Emperor sent the files on the investigation of the people around him, and I was nearly pissed off when I read them."
There, it's really...
The Eighth Prince's things were also sent there, and the Eighth Prince was even more so, and the prince's things were arbitrarily deducted from him. He was even scolded and despised by his own servants because he was stupid.
The Ninth Prince was better, but Nanny Sun relied on her status as the prince's wet nurse to bully others and deceive her superiors and subordinates.
It was Zhen Xiaoyi who had trusted her before and asked her to control the people around the Ninth Prince.
"It's my fault." Zhen Xiaoyi lowered her head.
"Forget it, there's no point in saying these things now. I came to see you just to tell you not to commit suicide easily. As long as I'm here, I can protect you and the Ninth Prince. As for the truth, there's no time to rush." Queen Mother Li said.
"Yes, thank you, aunt." Zhen Xiaoyi knelt down again: "I will listen to you. Don't worry."
"Okay, take good care of yourself. I'm the one who takes care of the child. I can't stay here all the time. If anything happens, someone will tell me. You take care of yourself." Queen Mother Li stood up.
She came in person because she was afraid that Zhen Xiaoyi would decide not to live.
After all, she is my own niece, I can't just ignore her.
After Zhen Xiaoyi sent Queen Mother Li out, she felt much more relieved. Even if she couldn't clear her grievances for the time being, at least there were still people who cared about her.
Although she was still worried, it was different from before.
After a few days, Zhen Xiaoyi indeed felt much better.
In Fengzao Palace, just after lunch, the eunuch Fan Guanglin came in and said with a smile: "I have something to tell the Empress."
"Oh? Go ahead." The queen was quite interested.
"I just went to the kitchen and heard someone say that Zhen Xiaoyi has been eating a lot these days. She eats a lot more every meal than before, and she especially likes to drink soup. It's all nourishing."
The queen smiled: "As expected, the miraculous medicine has taken into my stomach and everything has been cured. Tell the kitchen to serve you well according to the rules."
"Oh, don't worry, Your Majesty. I know everything." Fan Guanglin left with a smile.
Your Majesty, what you said is wonderful.
Is the point of this sentence to serve well? No, your Majesty is talking about following the rules.
What rules can a little girl follow? Of course, for the sake of the Empress Dowager, she can't be too rigid, but if she still wants to follow the old rules, that's not possible.
Of course the Queen didn't like Zhen Chongyi.
When Zhen Chongyi first entered the palace, she was too arrogant and no one liked her.
Now that she has fallen into this situation, there are many people who want to take advantage of her misfortune, but since the Queen Mother is watching over her, no one can do so openly.
But what did the queen do? Rules are more important than anything else, aren't they?
Even if people far away in Liaocheng Prefecture were paying attention to what was happening in the palace, they would not know it so well.
Shen Chuliu took his people out for a walk. The garden in this temporary palace was not as good as the one in the palace. After all, it was too cold here. In this season, even if the people here spent a lot of effort to clean up the garden, there was still nothing to see.
So, it was quite interesting to meet Yan Xiurong head on.
Yan Xiurong stepped forward and said, "Hello, Concubine Jing."
"Let's get up. There's nothing to see here. Since we've met, let's have some tea together." Although there was nothing to see, there was a place to sit.
It is a warm room.
If it snowed, it would be a good place to go, but it's February now and it hardly snows in the north.
The plum blossoms have also withered, but the weather is cold, so there is nothing beautiful else. It can be said that this is the most boring time of the year.
Yan Xiurong had no objection, so the two of them sat in the warm room in the garden, and soon someone brought them tea and snacks.
"This must be tea from the north. It tastes sweeter and is delicious. But I've always heard that Your Majesty prefers warm tea. I'm afraid she won't be used to this." Yan Xiurong said.
"It's okay. I don't really like it, but I'm not to the point where I can't get used to it." Shen Chuliu smiled and said, "I can get used to it."
