Chapter 459: Gossip
Xuanyuan Ling knew that the Queen Mother's illness could not be cured. When he first learned that she had this disease, he thought that one day he would see her like this. But when he really saw it, it was always a little different.
The empress dowager in Xuanyuan Ling's memory was very flamboyant, and rarely acted unrighteously in front of him. Even though he had been cold to her over the years, she always relied on the fact that she was his mother and dared to speak unscrupulously in front of him.
But now, he just lies there, looking miserable.
"Is there any possibility that the Queen Mother can recover?"
The imperial physicians have been treating the Empress Dowager for so many years, but she cannot control herself. She cannot follow the imperial physicians' instructions on eating, nor can she cultivate herself according to the doctors' orders. Now that she has come to this point, how can she be saved?
They could only confess their guilt in unison: "We deserve to die."
The leaders among them knelt down, and he also had to explain the Empress Dowager's condition. In short, it was still the same things, but today's summary was more. He only said that from now on, the Empress Dowager would have to lie like this and be served by others.
Xuanyuan Ling was silent for a while and said, "Everyone, go out."
Others didn't know that the emperor would actually want to be alone with the empress dowager. The relationship between the emperor and the empress dowager was really not good at all. What happened today, should we say it or not, did the emperor make the empress dowager so angry? If this got out, the emperor would be very unfilial. Of course, no one dared to spread anything at this time.
Xuanyuan Ling's gaze fell on the Queen Mother, thinking how ironic it was. They were this mother and son. After all, she gave birth to him, but she didn't treat him well, and he didn't treat her well either. The Queen Mother treated him unkindly, and he was unfilial to the Queen Mother. In the final analysis, who owed whom?
It seems like the grievances of the previous life are being repaid in this life.
The Queen Mother woke up after being frightened, but when she opened her eyes she saw Xuanyuan Ling's expressionless face. At that moment, perhaps due to her illness and the current situation, her eyes were filled with fear.
It seemed like she was afraid that Xuanyuan Ling would do something to her.
Xuanyuan Ling sneered at her horrified expression. Even when he hated her the most, he had never thought of doing anything to her, let alone now? However, the mother and son really didn't need to be alone like this. After all, there was nothing to talk about.
He turned around and told the kneeling servants, "Serve the Queen Mother well."
Xuanyuan Ling sat on the sedan chair and went farther and farther away from Shouxiang Palace without looking back. Unless the empress dowager was really on her last day, he would never come to Shouxiang Palace again.
Zhao Hai followed Xuanyuan Ling's imperial chariot and waited until they were a little further away from Shouxiang Palace before he said, "Your servant has something to report."
He really didn't want to start this day at this time, as he knew the emperor was not in a good mood at the moment. But he had to report it, as the emperor was visiting the Empress Dowager just now, and he got the news from outside, which was about the virtuous concubine.
Xuanyuan Ling was actually fine, as he and the Queen Mother were just like that, so he said in a calm tone: "Go ahead."
Zhao Hai relaxed, and then told the matter of Shen's mother first: "The Chen family means to expose this matter in the morning court tomorrow." This means to catch them off guard. If they talk about it in the court, it will naturally make a big deal.
Fortunately, the emperor had been prepared. On this day, he thought that the Chen family was going to cause trouble and was keeping an eye on them. Unexpectedly, it would actually involve the Empress Consort Xian. He never expected that this matter would be brought to the court, and it would be difficult to save the situation.
Originally, Zhao Hai privately thought that if the Queen was gone, then the Virtuous Concubine might be in danger.
But if this incident were to get out, not only would the virtuous concubine be criticized, but even the Sixth Prince would have something to talk about.
Xuanyuan Ling didn't expect this to happen. Who would have thought that the Shen family would hide such a thing! And the Chen family knew about it.
In just one day, the Chen family can really do something strange.
Xuanyuan Ling directly ordered: "Send a message to the Chen family. The Queen Mother is seriously ill and wants to see her relatives. Summon the heads of the Chen family to the palace."
Zhao Hai thought to himself that he never expected that the Empress Dowager would be useful at this time.
