Chapter 287 Seeking Help from the Queen Mother
She grabbed the Queen Mother's hand and shook it back and forth.
"grandmother……"
Her voice was inflected, and she sounded like she was acting coquettishly.
The Queen Mother was amused by her, poked her head, and then nodded.
"Okay, okay, it's all yours. I give it all to you."
Princess Rongyang nodded happily, stood up immediately, and took Nanny Li to the warehouse to get something.
"This Rong Yang..."
Emperor Rongcheng also smiled fondly, "You're so old, but you're still like a child."
Jiang Xianhao looked at Princess Rongyang's back and suddenly spoke.
"Rongyang has been pampered since she was little. I heard she's very fond of the boy from the Luo family. Your Majesty, why don't you just agree to their marriage? That way, I can rest assured."
Emperor Rongcheng frowned when he heard this, and he immediately turned around and looked at Jiang Xianhao.
"How old is she?"
"Are you actually talking about marriage to her now?"
The Queen Mother nodded.
"She's not young anymore. If she sneaks out of the palace all day and hangs out with that brat, people will inevitably talk about her. It's better to arrange the marriage in advance than to be talked about and lose the face of our royal family."
But Emperor Rongcheng still frowned.
Because the incident between Gu Jingchun and Luo Ziqian was too serious, he had a bad impression of Luo Ziqian.
Moreover, his daughter should be matched with the best man in the world.
Why should Luo Ziqian, a wicked man who had other women in his heart, marry his daughter?
So, he frowned and didn't nod, but said: "Rongyang is still young, so we should consider this matter in the long run."
As he spoke, he looked at the Queen Mother again.
"Since Rongyang always sneaks out of the palace, we need to keep a closer watch on her. We absolutely cannot let her go out again, and she must not get too close to that boy."
After Emperor Rongcheng finished speaking, he made an excuse to leave.
He stood up and turned to look at Jiang Xianhao, wanting Jiang Xianhao to go with him.
The Queen Mother spoke first.
"Your Majesty, please go ahead and do what you need. I haven't seen the Queen for a while, so I'll talk to her today."
Emperor Rongcheng couldn't refuse and could only look at Jiang Xianhao.
After Jiang Xianhao nodded, he left first.
As soon as Emperor Rongcheng left, the empress dowager's eyes fell on Jiang Xianhao.
"What happened recently?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Xianhao immediately stood up and slowly knelt in front of the empress dowager.
"Mother, I beg you to help Hechuan and Rongyang."
Upon seeing this, the Queen Mother immediately stood up and helped Jiang Xianhao up before saying, "Tell me first, what happened?"
Jiang Xianhao then told the Queen Mother about his poisoning.
“The imperial physician said that this poison is extremely rare and difficult to prepare an antidote.
But His Majesty said that Concubine Hui specially prepared an antidote for her daughter-in-law, which requires seven days of consumption to completely detoxify her.
"But, I don't believe that Concubine Hui would be so kind as to help me with the detoxification. I think she is deliberately trying to calm His Majesty..."
The Queen Mother was a very cautious person. Upon hearing this, she immediately asked, "What does she want to do?"
Jiang Xianhao shook his head.
"I don't know either, but I suspect she has no leverage left. I'm afraid she might become desperate and do something treasonous!"
The Queen Mother stood up immediately upon hearing this.
“She dares!”
Jiang Xianhao: "Mother, do you know that the rumors about Hechuan's identity that were spread by the people before were all caused by Concubine Hui?
For this reason, I wrote down the events between His Majesty and me and gave it to Old Master Wang, which helped to restore Hechuan's image among the people.
"However, this also disrupted Concubine Hui and the others' plan, so she was so angry that she poisoned me."
"Perhaps, she didn't expect His Majesty to have such a strong reaction, so she used the antidote to pretend to calm His Majesty.
However, judging from your Majesty's attitude, it seems that you still have trust in Concubine Hui Hui. But now that Hechuan has not returned, your daughter-in-law dare not let her guard down, so she came to ask for help from the Queen Mother."
Upon hearing this, the Queen Mother also understood the seriousness of the matter.
"Hechuan is my grandson. Even without you telling me, I will put him first. Even without you asking me, I will do my best to help him ascend the throne."
The Queen Mother said this and sighed.
"Our Majesty, everything was fine, but how could he fall for that woman's tricks and believe her words so completely?"
As she spoke, she looked at Jiang Xianhao.
"then……"
Jiang Xianhao interrupted the Queen Mother.
"What happened back then is in the past. Now, my daughter-in-law feels that Concubine Hui is definitely not that simple. Please, Queen Mother, be prepared in advance."
The Queen Mother nodded.
"You're right to be concerned."
"But, if Concubine Hui wants to rebel, she will definitely need a helper. Who do you think her helper will be?"
Jiang Xianhao shook his head.
"I only know Prime Minister Wang and a few ministers in the court. As for the others, I know nothing at all."
The Queen Mother hesitated.
"If she wants to start a rebellion, she will definitely need military support. However, the military power of Yong'an Marquis has been handed over, and there is no one in Tiandu with military power anymore."
"Unless she has her own private army, she won't be able to start a rebellion."
The Queen Mother said this and made up her mind.
"However, this matter must be prevented."
As she spoke, she took out a token and handed it to Jiang Xianhao.
"This token is a keepsake from when I personally led troops on the battlefield."
“Although it is of no use now, when a crisis comes, the veterans in the barracks will see it and will send troops even without the tiger talisman.
This is the rule I set myself back then."
"Now, I hand her over to you. If anything unexpected happens that day, you must immediately lead your men to the garrison camp to mobilize troops."
"I am old, and now I am trapped in this deep palace, with no one around me to use."
Jiang Xianhao nodded.
"Okay, thank you very much, mother. I will definitely not let you down."
After he finished speaking, he stood up, bowed, and turned to leave.
The Queen Mother looked at Jiang Xianhao's thin back and felt a mixture of emotions.
This woman who was swallowed up by the harem finally found herself at this moment.
It's just a pity that the price is too heavy.
After returning to Jingyu Palace, Jiang Xian looked at the token in his hand and couldn't help but clench it tightly.
She handed the token in her hand to Jingtan and Yunshu.
"I'm handing this thing over to you for safekeeping. If anything happens to me or Prince Rui starts a rebellion, you must do everything you can to leave the palace and mobilize troops from the garrison camp.
As for the people at the palace gate, you don't have to worry, I have already made arrangements."
Jingtan and Yunshu felt the tokens in their hands were as heavy as a thousand pounds.
"With Hechuan away, you are the only ones I can use."
Jingtan and Yunshu nodded.
"Don't worry, madam. Even if we risk our lives, we will never betray your trust."
