"His Majesty only wants to set up a target so that people will deal with you, thereby protecting his eldest son, Prince Jing!"
"You actually think you're so great... It's your good fortune that I can sit on your swing."
"When my husband becomes the crown prince and then ascends the throne, you and your mother will have to kneel before us and beg us to give you and your son a way out!"
After Ye Qingxue finished speaking, she slapped the Ninth Prince hard across the face and slammed him to the ground.
"If you've got the guts, come and get revenge on us!" Ye Qingxue said, clapping her hands and strode away!
The Ninth Prince fell into the broken watermelon, getting his hands covered in juice mixed with dirt.
He had never suffered such humiliation before. He glared in the direction Ye Qingxue had left, his eyes filled with intense hatred.
He clenched his fists tightly, his whole body tense, as if he were holding Ye Qingxue's life in his palms.
"I will avenge this humiliation! Ye Qingxue and Yun Zhuo, you just wait! I will make sure you die! Otherwise, I will not rest until I have done so!"
...
After much deliberation, Ye Qingxue felt that the Empress Dowager did not lack anything, and that this visit to the palace to express her feelings was more about conveying her sentiments.
She went to Xiangsi Zi, told her about the Empress Dowager's condition, and asked Xiangsi Zi, "Is there any pill that can make the Empress Dowager feel refreshed and restore her normal appetite?"
Xiang Si Zi said, "It seems that the Empress Dowager is suffering from heatstroke, which is why she is sweating excessively, feeling tired, dizzy, nauseous, and vomiting."
"That must be it. The Imperial Hospital has already given the medicine and acupuncture, but there has been no improvement. That's why I wanted to ask you if you have any miraculous medicine?"
Xiang Si Zi said, "If the injury is serious, it will take some time to treat. However, since the imperial physician has already treated it with acupuncture, it should be fine. I have some heat-clearing and detoxifying pills here, which are quite effective. You may take them."
"Thank you." Ye Qingxue took the pills and prepared a fifty-year-old ginseng before taking Qiu Shen to the palace to visit the Empress Dowager.
Because of her resolute defense of the Zichen Palace last time, the Empress Dowager had a good impression of her and spoke to her very kindly.
After having the imperial physician examine her pills, she took one herself and kept praising Ye Qingxue for her thoughtfulness.
Overall, the Empress Dowager was quite kind and gentle to her, which was the image of her grandmother in Ye Qingxue's imagination.
However, when she entered Shou Kang Palace just now, the Ninth Prince was also there. After Ye Qingxue bowed, she met his gaze and felt that his eyes were very strange.
After visiting the Empress Dowager, when she came out of the inner room, Qiu Shen quietly told her, "The Ninth Prince's gaze towards you was strange, as if it was filled with intense hatred. Although he tried to hide it, I still caught it."
The Ninth Prince sat on a chair in the front hall, slowly sipping his tea, a book in his hand.
When Ye Qingxue looked over, he seemed to notice her, raised his head to look at her, and gave her a gentle and harmless smile.
The smile on the face of a ten-year-old child is simply full of innocence.
What's more, the Ninth Prince is also good-looking.
Autumn Deep: "..."
If she hadn't observed carefully just now, she would have thought she had misunderstood the Ninth Prince.
However, the two women couldn't understand why the Ninth Prince was so hostile towards Ye Qingxue. In their memories, Ye Qingxue and he had never interacted.
Qiu Shen continued in a low voice, "He seems to have an injury on his face, but it has been treated and you can't see it unless you look closely."
Ye Qingxue was surprised. The Ninth Prince was the most popular prince at present, and Consort Xian was the most popular concubine in the harem. Who would dare to let the Ninth Prince get hurt?
And on the cheeks?
Ye Qingxue and Qiu Shen walked out as if nothing had happened.
The Ninth Prince stood up, a gentle smile on his face: "Miss Ye, my mother has always admired your courage and competence. These days the weather is hot, and my mother, mindful of the difficulties you faced in entering the palace, specially brewed a bowl of cool tea and asked me to bring it to you. I hope you won't find it offensive."
The Ninth Prince looked at her quietly.
This is Shou Kang Palace, not the deserted Imperial Garden. His mother, the Consort, bestowed her cool tea, and everyone in the palace was watching. If Ye Qingxue dared not drink it, that would be insubordination!
He could use this charge to arrest Ye Qingxue.
If you drink it, the consequences will be even worse.
At this moment, everyone was looking at Ye Qingxue.
For the daughter of a court official, the virtuous consort's offer of tea was a sign of care and honor.
Ye Qingxue had no right to refuse, so she had no choice but to step forward.
The eunuch beside the Ninth Prince had already presented her with a bowl of cool tea.
