Chapter 503: Lift
The emperor hinted to him, intentionally or unintentionally, that there might still be remnants of King Yuchang lurking in the capital, and ordered him to be more careful while being cautious, fearing that the emperor would take action soon and asking him to be prepared to arrest people.
With Liang Minglang's words, Xu Zhichun breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that it would be okay for him to refuse the empress dowager's summons, as long as the reason was reasonable.
That's good.
Then she knew what was going on.
The palace maid failed to bring Xu Zhichun into the palace. The empress dowager was very angry and scolded the maid.
So they sent someone to summon him. They couldn't go again tomorrow, which would not look good. They would have to wait for quite some time. The Queen Mother was even more unhappy.
She was losing patience.
Concubine Xue observed the empress dowager's words and expressions and gave her an idea. Wouldn't it be a good idea to let her mother bring Xu into the palace together?
The Queen Mother's eyes lit up, she nodded and smiled, "That's a good idea, let's do it."
"Yes, Queen Mother."
Lady Xue was also very proud. She wished her mother could suppress Xu Zhichun and have the opportunity to ridicule her.
She didn't know anything about Anshi or the eldest daughter. They were irrelevant people who shouldn't exist. She was the legitimate eldest daughter of the Xue family.
Lady Rong'an was also very happy to receive the message from her daughter. It was also an honor to be able to enter the palace.
It would also let everyone see that even if her daughter was only Concubine Xue now, so what? As long as the Queen Mother liked her, she would soar to the sky sooner or later!
Lady Rong'an sent Nanny Yu to the Marquis Wuxuan's residence and asked Xu Zhichun to go to the Marquis Rong'an's residence tomorrow morning, as she wanted to go to the palace with her.
"This is the Empress Dowager's oral order."
Hadn't Xu Zhichun publicly declared that this had nothing to do with her family? She would personally visit tomorrow morning so everyone could see.
Lady Rong'an has made it all up to her. When Xu Zhichun comes tomorrow, she will definitely humiliate him and teach him a lesson.
Anyway, she now has the Empress Dowager's oral order and has nothing to fear. She really doesn't believe that Xu Zhichun, no matter how domineering he is, can still go against the Empress Dowager?
If she really had the courage, Lady Rong'an would be more than happy to do so!
Going against the Queen Mother? Oh, she probably thinks her life is too long.
Mrs. Rong'anbo's mind was filled with countless thoughts, and she never expected that Xu Zhichun would actually refuse.
They refused in a fair and open manner.
What a coincidence, isn't it?
They are fasting and serving the Buddha, how can they leave so easily?
Even if you are the queen mother, it is impossible for you to compete with the Buddha.
Mrs. Rong Anbo's confident punch was completely in vain. She gritted her teeth and said, "Is she really in the Buddhist temple? You saw her? Are you lying?"
Nanny Yu was also very depressed. She had originally thought that she could show off her power and regain some respectability and pride by going to Wuxuanhou Mansion today, but she didn't expect that she would be defeated in an instant and feel bored.
"This—she shouldn't be so bold as to deceive the Queen Mother, right?"
"snort!"
Lady Rong'an also felt that she didn't dare.
Mrs. Rong'an's head started to hurt again. She was so upset that her hopes were dashed, let alone the Queen Mother?
When I go to the palace tomorrow, how should I explain this to the Queen Mother?
In fact, the best way is to send a message in today. Since she is not in front of the Queen Mother, she will not be scolded. Replying today also shows that she takes the Queen Mother's instructions to heart and gives timely feedback as soon as possible.
But Lady Rong'an was conflicted and reluctant to give up the opportunity to enter the palace.
Firstly, it was an honor, and secondly, she hadn't seen her daughter for a long time and wanted to take this opportunity to see her.
The next day, Lady Rong'an had to enter the palace alone.
The Queen Mother was furious when her hopes were dashed.
"Why didn't you send someone to report earlier yesterday?"
She had spent the entire night planning what to do today, but it was all in vain.
Isn't this just playing a trick on her?
Mrs. Rong'an is so brave!
Lady Rong'an kowtowed hurriedly, "Please calm down, Empress Dowager. I just thought it would be safer to report this to you personally."
"snort!"
It was just a matter of one sentence, so why would anyone care about whether it was safe or not? She just wanted to take the opportunity to visit Concubine Xue in the palace.
The Queen Mother was very angry and wanted to drive her out of the palace, but she didn't have many people she could use, and Concubine Xue was one of them, so she didn't want to disappoint her.
The Queen Mother suppressed her temper and waved her hands, "Forget it, I understand. Kneel down and pay your respects. You two haven't seen each other for a long time. Let's talk for a while before leaving."
Isn’t this what Lady Rong’an came here for?
He immediately kowtowed to thank her for her grace and went to the bedroom with Concubine Xue.
The mother and daughter had a lot to talk about and couldn't wait to ask about each other's situation.
The wife of the Marquis of Rong'an was concerned about her life in the palace, while Concubine Xue was concerned about the situation of the Marquis of Rong'an's mansion and the Marquis of Wuxuan's mansion.
She hated Xu Zhichun very much and was full of hostility towards him. She wished Xu Zhichun would be in trouble, but she had to admit that it would be of great benefit to her if Xu Zhichun returned to the Bo Mansion.
She suppressed her disgust and pinched her nose, thinking, that little bitch is lucky, so let her recognize her ancestors and return to her roots, and we will talk about it later.
With the support of the Empress Dowager, she has no doubt that she will not have the opportunity to succeed.
When talking about Xu Zhichun, Lady Rong'an had an endless amount of complaints to pour out, and Concubine Xue's face grew darker the more she listened.
"Outrageous! Outrageous! How dare she! How dare she!"
"This bitch! Could it be that she doesn't want to recognize her ancestral roots in this lifetime?"
"That's too much! What does she want? What does she mean?"
Lady Rong'an sneered, "She's even taken your father to court, showing how shameless he is. It's absolutely impossible for him to return to his roots. Fortunately, my son has regained his position and is favored by the Queen Mother. He will surely rise to prominence in the future."
Lady Xue smiled very reluctantly: "."
She knew very well that the Queen Mother was willing to help her this time because of the powerful connections and strength of Wuxuan Marquis Mansion, Ji Yingxuan and the Jinling Ji family behind him.
If all these things turned out to be hopeless illusions, would the Empress Dowager still value her? In other words, was she still valuable to the Empress Dowager? She didn't know.
Lady Rong'an was completely unaware of all this. She only thought that the empress dowager was loyal and righteous, and that what mattered to her was her daughter's life-saving grace.
She was relieved, but also had long-term concerns.
Lady Rong'an whispered to her daughter, "Mother, let me say something extremely disrespectful. Although the Empress Dowager values you, you are, after all, the Emperor's concubine. The most important thing is to have children for the Emperor. My daughter, there is still a long time to come, so you should think carefully about this. While the Empress Dowager still has a say, you must find an opportunity to get pregnant. The Emperor has few children, and as long as you have a child, you will definitely have a bright future in the future."
Lady Xue's eyelids twitched violently.
Some things cannot be said too directly, as long as the mother and daughter know the meaning.
