Chapter 21 The Queen Mother Falls Ill
At this moment, Xiao Qi approached her cautiously and said something to her.
She glanced at Xiao Tingye and said in a deep voice, "Chu Yinyin's appearance may not be accidental. You'd better not act rashly. Lu Chenzhou has the Xuanping Marquis's Mansion behind him. Xuanping Marquis commands a large army. If Lu Chenzhou gets into trouble in the capital, you should know the consequences."
After leaving these words, she took Xiao Qi and her followers and walked towards the other side.
Xiao Tingye, who was slapped, reached out and touched his cheek, staring at the direction where Lin Zhaoyue left with a dim gaze.
Your Highness, the Princess, seems to be concerned about him.
The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and a ripple appeared in his eyes like a deep pool.
[The villain's inner thoughts: My wife hit me with her own hands, she must like me, why didn't she hit Lu Chenzhou?]
[Princess can't be touched by men, but I can. I must be special.]
[It's over, it's over. Why do I feel like the villain is attacking himself? ]
【Don't feel anything, be bold, it's obviously true! 】
This is how a powerful princess should be, strategizing, calm and calculating. The princess in the original story has been much less intelligent since the heroine appeared.
[That's right, she's a powerful princess who was able to single-handedly help her younger brother become the crown prince amidst the harem struggles. How could she be slapped in the face by the heroine like that...]
Lin Zhaoyue brought Xiaoqi to the other side of the imperial garden in a hurry.
She looked at her hands as she walked.
Up to now, there has been no change in her hand, and she has not felt any discomfort at all.
"Sister, we're here..." Xiao Qi whispered, "Look, she really ran out."
They didn't come closer, but watched from a distance.
However, the subtitles of Lin Zhaoyue in front of him were very lively, all talking about how the heroine Chu Yinyin was about to become the empress dowager's savior.
Yes, she had pieced together from the subtitles before that in today's welcoming banquet, Chu Yinyin would not only perform a drama of "everyone speaking for her" and "everyone being friends with her" at her banquet, but she would also become a celebrity in front of the Queen Mother in the palace because she accidentally saved her life.
And this was also the beginning of her transcending class.
She was no longer just the daughter of a prefect from another place, but was officially on equal footing with the noble ladies in the capital.
With the Queen Mother as her backer, she could move freely in the palace. She used those novel gadgets to please many concubines in the palace and became a popular figure in the capital.
Because she was jealous of her, she tried to harm her and frame her countless times. But she always shot herself in the foot, pushing Lin Ye and Lu Chenzhou to her side time and time again, making them completely disappointed in her.
This is the message she has received from the subtitles so far.
But there were also some messages that were not revealed in the subtitles, which gave her more speculations.
for example……
If the emperor's death was caused by Lu Chenzhou, then did Chu Yinyin's freedom in the palace also provide him with many conveniences or even make him an accomplice?
"She's really brave. She dares to wander around the palace alone." Xiao Qi frowned while eating melon seeds. "How about we have someone arrest her?"
Xiaoqi actually didn’t understand why Lin Zhaoyue was staring at Chu Yinyin, but she always listened to her elder sister, so she had been watching Chu Yinyin since most of the people at the welcoming banquet had left.
Sure enough, she walked into the Imperial Garden alone for some unknown reason.
The Imperial Garden is usually not allowed to be entered without being summoned by the royal family. It belongs to the inner courtyard of the palace.
The Hundred Flowers Garden is the outer courtyard, which is usually used for banquets.
So Chu Yinyin shouldn't be here.
Lin Zhaoyue didn't answer Xiao Qi's question. Instead, she asked, "How many copies did you sell just now?"
Xiao Qi paused in her melon seed-crunching movements, "Not... not that many..." She immediately took Lin Zhaoyue's arm and began to act coquettishly, "Oh, sister, what a great opportunity! How about I give you some money later?"
Will my elder sister scold me for selling books at her welcoming party?
Lin Zhaoyue's lips curled slightly, "Okay."
Xiaoqi finally felt relieved, as she was afraid that her elder sister would not want her anymore just like she did not want the prince.
At this time, Xiao Qi was attracted by the movement on the other side. After seeing the person walking towards this side, he was surprised, "Empress Dowager?"
Yes, on the other side, the Queen Mother walked over surrounded by a large group of palace maids and eunuchs.
Lin Zhaoyue's eyes also narrowed.
[Yinbao, you must seize this opportunity! Becoming the Queen Mother's savior will allow you to walk freely in this palace!]
[I'm so pissed off that I didn't get to slap someone in the face at the welcoming banquet! It's such a waste of all the gifts the girls gave them!]
[That's great! As long as my daughter becomes popular with the Queen Mother, that bitch Lin Zhaoyue won't be able to bully my daughter anymore.]
…
At this moment, Lin Ye also ran over to find Chu Yinyin. Just when Lin Ye arrived, the Queen Mother suddenly began to roll her eyes and her whole body began to twitch.
"Empress Dowager!"
That huge group of people suddenly fell into chaos!
"What's wrong with you, Empress Dowager?"
Seeing that Lin Zhaoyue didn't move, Xiaoqi didn't move either and just watched the show.
Chu Yinyin and Lin Ye's attention was also attracted. Seeing this, Chu Yinyin hurriedly ran towards the Queen Mother.
Lin Zhaoyue frowned: This running speed... is a bit too fast?
But before Chu Yinyin arrived, a figure rushed over with a "whoosh".
Everyone looked confused.
"What the hell just ran over there?" Xiao Qi was stunned.
"Get out of the way! Everyone, get out of the way!"
Seeing this person, everyone obediently stepped aside.
Only then did they see clearly that the person who had just run over was Doctor Xu.
Nanny Chen said anxiously, "Doctor Xu, the Empress Dowager suddenly became like this! Please take a look!"
No one paid attention to why Doctor Xu suddenly appeared. At this moment, Doctor Xu was their savior.
If anything happens to the Queen Mother, all of them will suffer.
Doctor Xu immediately squatted down and began to examine the empress dowager.
So, before Chu Yinyin arrived at the "scene", she was stopped outside.
"Who are you! What do you want to do?!" Nanny Chen asked sternly.
Chu Yinyin said anxiously, "Let me see! I can cure the Queen Mother!"
Nanny Chen sneered, "You? We have Imperial Physician Xu here, so how could a woman of unknown origin like you be the one treating the Empress Dowager? I think you have evil intentions and are planning to assassinate her! Someone, come! Capture her!"
Chu Yinyin was immediately captured by two eunuchs, but she struggled to break free, shouting, "Let me try! Otherwise, the Queen Mother will be in danger!"
How dare this old woman not let our heroine in? She wants the Queen Mother to die, right?
[Yes, this is the kind of slap in the face. Now you look down on our heroine, but later our heroine baby will amaze everyone! ]
[You damn old woman, I'll beat your face until it's swollen! You'll soon know how powerful our heroine is!]
[What's the use of the imperial physician? We still have to rely on our heroine! ]
Chu Yinyin did look very anxious, and Lin Ye also hurried over to speak for Chu Yinyin.
"Let her go! Let her try! How come you still don't trust me?"
Chu Yinyin also calmed down, but her eyes were fixed on the Queen Mother lying on the ground. "If you don't let me treat the Queen Mother, don't regret it later."
A rare hint of pride and confidence appeared in her expression at this moment.
It seemed that she believed that she was the only one who could cure the Queen Mother's illness.
Lin Ye also said in a cold voice: "Did you hear that! Yinyin said that only she can cure this disease!"
