Chapter 40: Take An away to welcome him
"Your Majesty, the Queen, and Concubine Shu, please accept the order."
Aunt Jade's voice was a little tough. After all, she was a member of the Queen Mother, and when she went out, she represented the Queen Mother's face.
Emperor Qingling looked complicated, but he still said: "My son will obey the emperor's decree."
The empress also followed and said: "My daughter-in-law would like to obey the emperor's decree and thank the emperor for the reward."
Concubine Shu's voice could not hide her weakness, and there was also a hint of confusion in it: "I respectfully obey the Queen Mother's decree."
Aunt Yu stepped forward and put Yizhi on the table. She lowered her head and looked at Ying'an, and said calmly: "Shu Fei, the Queen Mother said that there have been bloody meetings in Guangling Palace in the past two days, and there is also a concubine here. After being punished, it will be inconvenient for Princess Ying'an to stay here. The Queen Mother's place is clean and there are few people. There are often imperial doctors coming and going. The Queen Mother asked Princess Ying'an to stay in the longevity palace for the past two days. She also asked Imperial Physician Lin to go to the longevity palace twice a day to check the princess's health. The empress dowager was free. You can also go and see Princess Ying’an.”
After Aunt Yu finished speaking, Concubine Shu's heart had already sunk.
As for the front, there is still room for change.
But later, the Queen Mother gave her no room to refuse at all, and clearly blocked her words directly.
Before she agreed, the Queen Mother asked Doctor Lin to go to the Longevity Palace to check on Ying'an. This meant that she was notifying the concubines and officials of the previous court that she was interested in easing the relationship with the Prime Minister. If she did not agree, she would It's her who doesn't give the Empress Dowager face.
Originally, the relationship between the imperial court and the Prime Minister was already at loggerheads due to the salt matter. If the Queen Mother was offended over such a trivial matter, I'm afraid the gain would outweigh the loss.
Concubine Shu only regretted that she was unable to keep Ying'an by her side, and she even racked her brains and couldn't think of a way to have both.
And listening to what Aunt Yu meant, the Empress Dowager clearly wanted Ying'an to stay in the Longevity Palace for a long time. I'm afraid it would be even more difficult for her to get Ying'an back from the Empress Dowager in the future.
Concubine Shu raised her eyes, her crying had not completely subsided, and even had some nasal sounds. She looked pitiful, and she opened her lips and said: "I have something to ask of you. I wonder if Aunt Yu can inform the Queen Mother for me. Really. Ying'an has never been away from me for such a long time, and I am worried."
Aunt Jade ignored Concubine Shu's reluctance and said in a deep voice: "Concubine Shu, don't worry, Princess Ying'an is the granddaughter of the Queen Mother. How can she not feel sorry for her? Besides, the longevity palace is far away from Guangling Palace. So close, even the empress goes there every day The Queen Mother will not find you troublesome if you go to the Palace of Longevity. The Queen Mother will protect Princess Ying'an, so just rest assured, I promise, the Queen Mother's place is much safer than your place, Princess Shu."
As soon as these words came out, Concubine Shu's heart sank even more.
Aunt Yu's words were clearly a warning to her.
Now, the queen is targeting her, and even Hua Zhiyao is trying to get rid of her.
As Ying'an said, the fifteenth day of next month will be her death date, so in this month, she will probably face many life and death moments.
If Ying'an were in Guangling Palace, he would inevitably be implicated.
Furthermore, if she said anything to offend the Queen Mother at this juncture, she would probably have to add the Queen Mother as a powerful enemy, which would not be a good thing for her.
Concubine Shu concealed the look in her eyes, and even her tone became a little calmer: "In this case, then Aunt Lao Yu will take the princess away and hand it over to the Queen Mother for two days. After the matter in Guangling Palace is completed, I will return to the palace again." Go and pick her up. The princess is still young and cannot live without a wet nurse. Since the princess was born, Aunt Xiang has been watching over the princess and coaxing her to sleep. With Aunt Xiang by her side, the princess also slept more peacefully. She also asked Aunt Yu to take Aunt Xiang to the Longevity Palace so that the Queen Mother could have a peaceful sleep. Also, the princess just woke up and she has not been around recently. There is no imperial physician, so all the imperial physicians in Guangling Palace are invited to go to the Longevity Palace to be on standby. If the princess has any trouble in the middle of the night, they can be treated easily. "
Concubine Shu's words were flawless.
It seemed that he was worried that something would go wrong on the night of welcoming An, so he asked the imperial doctors to come and take care of him, but in fact, he sent all the imperial doctors away. Firstly, it was to ensure Ying'an's safety. Secondly, it was raining heavily tonight and there was no imperial doctor to treat Concubine Xian. She was kneeling in the Guangling Palace in the rain. Isn't this a punishment for Concubine Xian?
Concubine Shu, you are venting your anger on the princess.
Aunt Yu understood clearly and agreed directly.
"Concubine Shu is thoughtful and considerate. How can I be unreasonable? In that case, I will take the princess back to the Palace of Longevity to rest. Doctors, please follow me."
All the doctors stood up at the same time.
Emperor Qing Ling, who had been silent all this time, opened his lips indifferently.
"Doctor Zhao stays."
Doctor Zhao was suddenly called upon, his body trembled slightly, he bowed and said: "I obey my orders."
Aunt Jade bent her knees and looked at Emperor Qingling: "By the way, Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager also said that the affairs in the harem have been busy in the past two days, the queen has been punished, and such changes have occurred in Guangling Palace. I am afraid that something big has happened in the harem. In recent days, Si Tianjian doesn't know if he sees anything. For the sake of the dragon body, the emperor should not run to the harem these days and just stay in the Yangxin Hall to rest."
Emperor Qingling snorted coldly, lowered his eyes and said solemnly: "I don't have to worry about my stay or leave. Please tell the queen to tell her to take good care of Ying'an, and don't do anything wrong. If Ying'an is here, Longevity palace creampie If anything happens, I must give an explanation to the Changshou Palace. There is no way that the Queen will be accused of harming the emperor's heirs. By then, don't blame me for not caring about my mother and son. "
With her face unchanged and her heart not beating, Aunt Jade knelt down and saluted: "I must bring the message to the Emperor."
Ying'an was held in Nanny Yu's arms and she held her hand calmly.
She knew early on that the Queen Mother would definitely interfere.
Based on the operation she just performed in the Longevity Palace, the Queen Mother must be having trouble sleeping, eating, and sleeping. Only if she is left in the Longevity Palace will she feel at ease.
The reason why she tried so hard to get the Queen Mother into the situation was to give her mother-in-law and the Queen's party an opportunity to take advantage of her.
As for the little doll under the flower bed, she has plenty of ways to bring it to light.
But what she didn't expect was that the emperor dared to refute the queen mother's face in public, and even used the affection between mother and son as a bargaining chip.
In the storybook, there is never any mention of the mother-son relationship between the emperor and the queen mother.
The emperor glanced at the unknown Ying'an in Aunt Yu's arms and almost laughed angrily.
He was about to break up with the Queen Mother because of her, she was so heartless, she really had the temper of a child.
She really didn't understand why the Queen Mother did this?
This is clearly to keep the harem firmly in his hands, first to evade the queen, and then to use Hua Zhiyao to restrain Concubine Shu's hands and feet, in this manner of watching a tiger fight from afar.
That posture clearly meant that he would not stop until his harem was set on fire.
But, why didn't she keep the two princes under her control, but insisted on keeping Ying'an by her side?
Is it possible that... Huang'e Niang also knows the difference in Ying'an?
