After hearing what the imperial physician said, Honghui frowned even more tightly, "I understand. Thank you, imperial physician."
"If there is nothing else, I will withdraw now. I will come back tomorrow to check the Queen's pulse."
Honghui nodded, then looked at Nanny Li and said, "Nanny, please go with the imperial physician and boil the medicine and bring it over."
Nanny Li quickly agreed and then sent the imperial physician out.
After going out, Wen Mianmian saw the imperial physician coming out and asked about the situation inside. When they heard that the queen was fine, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Wen Mianmian originally wanted to go in and take a look, but was stopped by Li Ma.
Nanny Li said respectfully, "Your Highness, the Empress has not yet woken up. The Imperial Physician just said she needs more rest. Your Highness and the ladies should all go back first."
"When the Queen is well, all the ladies can come and pay their respects."
Wen Mianmian glanced at her but said nothing. "In that case, then Madam, please take good care of the Queen. When the Queen wakes up, we will come to pay our respects."
After saying that, Wen Mianmian took her people away.
When Concubine Mao and the others saw that the Imperial Concubine had left, they did not stay here any longer and left as well.
On the way back, Concubine Mao quickened her pace and caught up with the Imperial Concubine. She panted slightly and said, "Imperial Concubine, please stay."
Wen Mianmian stopped and turned around, only to see Concubine Mao quickly approaching her and asking, "Concubine Mao, what can I do for you?"
Concubine Mao came close to the Imperial Concubine and whispered, "Imperial Concubine, aren't you curious about why the Empress is so ill?"
Wen Mianmian frowned slightly when she heard this, wondering if Concubine Mao knew something. She was suspicious, but remained calm on the surface and asked nonchalantly, "What do you mean by this, Concubine Mao?"
Concubine Mao looked around warily and said, "Your Highness, why don't we talk while we walk?"
Wen Mianmian had no objection to this. She took the lead and walked forward, followed closely by Maopin.
Nanny Song, Shancha and the others also deliberately lagged behind a distance, not following too closely, while also secretly observing the situation around them.
"It's been almost a year since the Emperor ascended the throne. Logically, the Crown Prince should have taken the throne, but the Emperor hasn't made any move yet. Your Highness, why do you think this is happening?"
Wen Mianmian's heart sank, wondering what Concubine Mao meant by this. She remained calm and said, "How would I know?"
Concubine Mao smiled, as if she had expected the Imperial Concubine to say this. She continued, "Your Majesty, I have heard some gossip. I wonder if the Imperial Concubine would be interested in listening."
Wen Mianmian didn't want to beat around the bush with her, so she said in a calm tone, "Maopin, just say what you want to say. There's no need to beat around the bush with me."
"In that case, I'll be frank. As far as I know, it was the Crown Prince who didn't want to sit in that position. It was because of this that the Crown Prince and the Queen had a big fight today, and that's why the Queen fainted from anger." There was a hint of ambiguity in Concubine Mao's tone.
Wen Mianmian stopped, her heart horrified, but she showed no sign of it. She looked at her suspiciously and asked, "Where did you hear these words?"
"I have my own ways of finding out, but isn't Your Majesty curious as to why the Crown Prince doesn't want to be the Crown Prince?"
Wen Mianmian glanced at her, then continued walking forward, saying as she walked, "What does it matter whether I know or not? The Crown Prince's affairs are of great importance, and the Emperor has his own considerations. How can I interfere with the affairs of state?"
Concubine Mao obviously didn't expect the Imperial Concubine to say this, and asked with some confusion: "Don't you think this is a good opportunity, Imperial Concubine?"
If the Crown Prince doesn't want to be the Crown Prince, then it proves that the Royal Concubine's son has the best chance of becoming the next Crown Prince. Moreover, the Emperor is so good to the Royal Concubine. If she whispers a few words in the Emperor's ear, then the position of Crown Prince may fall to one of her sons.
She didn't believe that the imperial concubine would not want her son to become the crown prince.
Wen Mianmian was silent for a moment, then stopped again, staring straight at Concubine Mao, and said in a cold tone, "Concubine Mao, you must remember your status. Don't meddle in things that shouldn't concern you, lest you get yourself into trouble. I will pretend I haven't heard of this matter, and you can go back."
After saying this, Wen Mianmian strode away without looking back.
Nanny Song and others quickly followed.
Concubine Mao stood where she was, watching the imperial concubine's back gradually walk away.
"This Imperial Concubine is really calm. Could it be that she has other plans in mind?" Maopin muttered to herself as she watched the Imperial Concubine walking away.
At this time, Muxiang stepped forward and said, "My Lady, it's time for us to go back."
"Let's go."
Concubine Mao turned around and walked towards her own palace.
She originally wanted to stir up trouble, but she didn't expect the imperial concubine to be so cautious.
The queen woke up at night, and the emperor also heard that the queen had fainted, but when he came over, Ulanara was still asleep.
He sat for a while and then left.
Since Honghui was already an adult, it was not appropriate for him to stay overnight in his mother's palace, so he went to stay at the prince's residence for one night, while the Crown Princess stayed with the Empress.
When she woke up, she saw the Crown Princess busying around her.
The Crown Prince's wife was sitting nearby, and when she saw her mother wake up, she hurried over.
"Empress Mother, you're awake. That's great." The Crown Princess finally breathed a sigh of relief when she saw her mother wake up.
"Why are you here?" When Ulanara saw her, she felt very uncomfortable.
Because this woman's own son is no longer on her side, Ulanara's face turned gloomy when she thought of what Honghui said to her today.
The Crown Prince's Consort didn't know that the Empress Dowager was holding a grudge against her, so she said, "I heard that the Empress Dowager had fainted, and I was a little worried, so I stayed here to wait for her to wake up."
"Where's Honghui?"
Ulanara took a look and saw that there was no trace of Honghui beside her, which made her even more dissatisfied.
The Crown Princess did not know why the Queen Mother fainted, she just thought she wanted to see the Crown Prince, so she said:
"It's already late, and it's not convenient for the prince to stay in the harem any longer, so he is currently staying at the prince's residence. He will come to see mother tomorrow."
When Ulanara heard that he was in the prince's residence and not out of the palace, her dissatisfaction immediately subsided.
But his tone was still not very good, "Then you should go back too, I don't need you here."
She felt very uncomfortable when she saw her.
