Chapter 206 Yun Qiao Enters the Palace to Seek an Audience
Yun Qiao submitted the invitation to enter the palace, but received a reply a few days later. It was Empress Dowager Chen who invited her to enter the palace, but did not say anything about the emperor.
Yunqiao felt a little chilled.
After all, the post about her entering the palace said that the old lady's health was getting worse.
The old lady of the Marquis' Mansion is the emperor's grandmother.
As expected, the man who became the emperor was cold-blooded and heartless, and did not recognize his relatives.
Yun Qiao was led by the eunuch into Empress Dowager Chen's palace, and then a palace maid came to lead her there. Empress Dowager Chen's palace was much more luxurious than before, and it was obviously renovated.
But Yun Qiao had no time to care about these things at this time.
She walked up to Empress Dowager Chen and bowed.
When the late emperor was still alive, she, the princess, still had some value. Now that the late emperor is gone and Chen Jingyan is not in Kyoto, she, Princess Huayang, has become a decoration.
If she wants to give you some respect, she will give it to you. If she doesn’t want to give it to you, she can only follow other people’s orders.
Perhaps because she married Chen Jingyan, Empress Dowager Chen was very concerned about her.
First, he asked about the situation of the Chen family in the Marquis' Mansion.
Yun Qiao answered them one by one.
"Empress Dowager, Grandmother has been in worsening health these past few days. I'm extremely worried, but the Marquis has been ordered to garrison Mobei and cannot be summoned. He cannot return to Mobei without permission. However, Grandmother is his only grandmother. If something really happened to Grandmother and the Marquis could not return, it would be a lifelong regret for him..."
This is what Yun Qiao was worried about, so she told Empress Dowager Chen directly.
Empress Dowager Chen looked very worried.
But what this says...
"Huayang, you're also a princess, so you should know that the emperor's words are his decrees. Besides, Sanlang has been in Mobei for less than a year, and he's already coming back. Isn't this an insult to the emperor? Furthermore, Sanlang hasn't done anything over there in the past six months. I heard that some tribes in Mobei are planning to unite and attack Yicheng, and yet Sanlang hasn't taken any precautions..."
Yun Qiao didn't know all this.
If she had not entered the palace, she would never have known that in the hearts of the emperor and the empress dowager, Chen Jingyan was such a person who was willing to risk his life for the country.
"Empress Dowager, are all the things you said true? Is there any evidence to prove it? Don't you believe your own nephew?"
Yun Qiao only dared to speak to Empress Dowager Chen like this because she relied on her status as a princess.
If Empress Dowager Chen were in a different position, she would never allow Yun Qiao to speak to her like that.
"Huayang, you're concerned about the Marquis' Mansion and Chen Jingyan. Your Majesty and I are concerned about the Zhou Kingdom and its people. You should also understand the dilemma your Majesty and I face."
"As for the old lady in the Marquis' Mansion, I will send the best imperial physician to treat her. You can rest assured."
"But at this time, Sanlang would never dare to come back. He is the general defending the city. If he can defend Yicheng well, His Majesty will not treat him unfairly, nor will he treat the entire Zhenbei Marquisate unfairly."
"Okay, you can go back as well."
Empress Dowager Chen sent Yun Qiao away with just a few words.
Yun Qiao felt helpless. To be honest, she was very disappointed with the emperor and the empress dowager.
Not long after Yun Qiao left, Emperor Showa arrived.
"Is she gone?" asked Emperor Showa.
Princess Huayang is his aunt after all. If she really cries, makes a fuss, and even threatens to commit suicide, he really doesn't know what to do. Besides, Yun Qiao is now Chen Jingyan's wife.
