Fu Hongtang immediately understood what she meant and changed the subject, "Second sister, you love me the most. You can't just stand by and watch me die. I don't want to die yet."
The Queen Mother asked Nanny Ning to watch outside the cell, then she opened the food box, took out the food inside and placed it on the ground.
"Eat it while it's hot. You are indeed my most beloved brother. How could I possibly ignore you?"
"Thank you, second sister." Fu Hongtang smiled, his saliva watering as he looked at the food, and then he picked up the bowl and started to eat it ravenously.
He is very fat and eats a lot, usually delicacies from land and sea.
Since being put into the cell, he has not had enough food to eat or warm clothes to wear, and is also yelled at by the jailer.
He only ate one meal a day, and that was a coarse flour bun. He was so hungry that he couldn't sleep at night.
Now, even the chicken leg rice that he usually looked down upon seemed delicious.
"It's so delicious. Can someone deliver meals to me three times a day? I'm almost starving." Fu Hongtang said vaguely while eating.
The Queen Mother forced a smile and said, "Although I am the Queen Mother, I cannot do this every day. If people see me, I will be gossiped about."
She took out a bag of cakes from the lunch box and said, "You should save some of this."
Upon hearing this, Fu Hongtang's face was filled with disappointment.
I feel like the food in the bowl doesn’t smell very good anymore.
"You are the empress dowager, and the emperor has to listen to you. Why can't you even do something as trivial as giving me food?"
"I don't care. Anyway, before we go out, you have to find a way to feed me, otherwise I will starve to death."
The Queen Mother suppressed her temper and responded with a faint smile, "Okay, I will find a way, but you have to promise me that when I interrogate you, don't say anything nonsense."
"I'm the only one who can save you now. This matter has a big impact, so it may take a long time. You have to be patient."
Fu Hongtang was somewhat displeased after hearing this.
It takes a while, how long will it take?
The previous interrogation was already painful enough, and I don’t know if the next interrogation will be like a whip.
But now the only one who can save them is the Queen Mother. No matter how dissatisfied she is, she can't say anything. "Okay, I will wait for my second sister to save us. We can also find someone willing to take the blame like before."
When the Queen Mother saw that he had finished eating, she didn't think about staying.
After clearing the dishes, he stood up with the food box and said, "Don't worry, I will find a way. I still have to go see Dad right now, so I'll leave first."
Without waiting for Fu Hongtang to speak, she left with Nanny Ning.
The smell in the cell was a little unbearable for her, but she still had to go to the cell where other people were imprisoned.
When the Duke of Qi saw her, he was also a little excited, "Can you let us out?"
The Queen Mother pursed her lips and shook her head slightly apologetically, "No, I just came to see you. Don't worry, Dad. I've been thinking of a solution."
After hearing this, the Duke of Qi looked disappointed.
He snorted coldly and sat back on the hard bed. His voice was old and he said, "I raised you up and cultivated you with all my heart, step by step making you the queen and then the queen mother."
"The Duke's Mansion has made a lot of efforts to get to this point. As the saying goes, it takes a thousand days to train an army and only a moment to deploy it. We have helped you get to this point today by protecting the Fu family from wind and rain."
Becoming the Queen Mother seems to be high and mighty.
But from time to time he has to clean up the mess for the Fu family.
Sometimes she was exhausted, but she had to do it because of the blood ties.
She is of the Fu family's bloodline, so even if she is the empress dowager, they will prosper and suffer together.
"Father, I understand everything you say." The Queen Mother suppressed her emotions. "You also know the seriousness of the current situation. His Majesty is not so easy to convince."
Upon hearing this, Duke Qi closed his eyes and didn't want to listen. "Let's go! Don't come to see me until you've finished this!"
The Queen Mother: “…” She was speechless.
After a few moments of silence, he turned and left.
When he walked out of the prison, his face turned gloomy.
After returning to the Cining Palace, she angrily overturned the coffee table, "Is it my fault that things turned out like this? It's Fu Hongtang's fault for being so stupid that he got caught at the critical moment!"
"It's all because of that bitch Jiang Mengli. She's my nemesis. Now not only does the Emperor occasionally speak up for her, but even Prince Jing's Mansion doesn't bother her anymore."
As soon as the words fell, a eunuch came in to report, "Your Majesty, we just received news that His Majesty has granted Jiang Mengli a golden medal of immunity from death."
Upon hearing this, the Queen Mother became so angry that her face turned pale. Suddenly, she spat out blood, her eyes rolled back, and she fainted.
This time he really vomited blood and fainted.
"Queen Mother! Someone, come and find His Majesty! The Queen Mother has fainted and vomited blood!"
The emperor was discussing matters with his ministers in a side hall when Eunuch Fu hurried in and reported in a serious and flustered manner.
"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager vomited blood and fainted. Nanny Ning wants you to come over."
Upon hearing this, the emperor frowned and said coldly, "You're using the same trick again. Why don't you try something new? I'm busy. No matter what's going on in the Cining Palace, don't bother me!"
The Empress Dowager's condition was a bit serious this time, and even acupuncture by the imperial physician could not wake her up.
Nanny Ning sent people to see the emperor again and again, but was turned away every time.
…
Jiang Mengli had already packed up a lot of things and put them all into the space.
She told Lingqiao that she was going to Puzhou City, but forbade her to tell Jiang.
It's so dangerous there. If Jiang knew, he would definitely be worried.
Lingqiao was also worried, "Miss, can't you just refuse His Majesty? It's too dangerous."
Jiang Mengli sighed deeply and said, "On the surface, the emperor is politely asking for my opinion, but in reality, whether I refuse or not, he will find a way to make me go."
"He's the emperor. Do you think it's possible for me to refuse his request? Besides, I think it's a good idea to go. Maybe I can find a way to deal with the medicine man."
