After Qin Tianjian finished speaking, everyone present was stunned. The atmosphere was quiet for a while, with only the sound of your breathing rising and falling.

"Ahem..." The empress dowager's cough broke the awkward silence. Qin Tianjian immediately knelt down and kowtowed to Xiao Jingheng and Chu Yunning: "Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the emperor, Feng Luanxing."

Xiao Jingheng was still holding the Queen Mother's arm with one hand. Hearing this, his eyes fell on Chu Yunning.

Those eyes were so gentle and watery.

He didn't speak, he was waiting.

After the Queen Mother finished coughing, Aunt Su immediately came forward with tea and asked the Queen Mother to take two sips to moisten her throat. But not long after, the Queen Mother started coughing again. Chu Yunning noticed the Queen Mother's gaze and took it out of her arms.

Several silver needles quickly penetrated into several major acupuncture points of the Queen Mother.

Finally, the Queen Mother's coughing subsided, and her complexion gradually returned to rosy.

"Queen Mother, your face has been ugly these days, but now you have recovered somewhat. Chu Shang Palace is really amazing," Aunt Su said.

The Queen Mother glanced at Chu Yunning with relief: "Since it is destiny, the Ai family cannot hinder the destiny. With Chu Shanggong accompanying the emperor, the Ai family can rest assured."

The Queen Mother spoke without saying anything, giving Xiao Jingheng enough time to convince the civil and military officials.

The most difficult problem is King Xiao. If King Xiao never lets go, Xiao Jingheng will always bear the reputation of coveting his sister-in-law.

Now, with the support of the Queen Mother, Prince Xiao's hurdle has been solved.

"Mother, please take a good rest. I will order that no one disturb you."

Xiao Jingheng immediately issued an order not to allow any idlers to disturb the Queen Mother's rest. He thought that since the old prince was old, he would not be punished this time. If he was guilty again, he would be punished with both crimes next time.

After hearing this, the Queen Mother just advised everyone to think of the overall situation and not to lose the relationship between the monarch and his ministers and the people's support.

"Mother, my sons and ministers know this. Please rest assured, mother."

Xiao Jingheng glanced at Prince Xiao who was about to faint, and then at the sudden growth of hair between the Queen Mother's temples. He couldn't bear it, and waved his hand: "Send Prince Xiao down."

After King Xiao kowtowed to his superiors, he fainted without struggling and was immediately carried away by two guards.

The inner hall became quiet, and Aunt Su dismissed everyone. Xiao Jingheng stood up, lifted up his clothes and knelt down to the Queen Mother: "My son, I thank my mother for your success!"

Chu Yunning also knelt straight, feeling very moved by the Queen Mother's devotion to her. From the day she came here, the Queen Mother had cared for her overtly and covertly. In fact, when she returned to Beijing this time, she didn't have much confidence in her heart.

It was on the apex of my heart, and I didn't feel completely relaxed until now.

"My son is unfilial and has made my mother worried." Xiao Jingheng pursed his lips tightly, with mixed feelings in his heart.

The Queen Mother was no longer as weak as before. She sat up and looked at the two of them kneeling together, with a smile of relief on her face: "It's not easy for you two to get to where you are today. The Aijia hopes that you will support each other in the future.

, grow old in peace and safety.”

"Yes!" Chu Yunning choked, moved by the Queen Mother's true feelings.

Seeing Chu Yunning's eyes turned red, the Queen Mother bent over to help her up with distress, and said to Xiao Jingheng: "The emperor doesn't have to kneel anymore, get up."

Xiao Jingheng stood up with a smile.

The queen mother on the side held Chu Yunning's hand: "The royal family has owed you so many years. If you hadn't saved the emperor several times, the southern end of the country might not be as prosperous as it is today. Even if the Ai family died, they would still be able to survive.

His straight waist is worthy of his ancestors."

The two of them listened silently, and the Queen Mother said again: "When the limelight stops for a while, I will bring Chu'er to the Ai family to have a look."

"Okay." Chu Yunning agreed with a smile.

The Queen Mother's eyes turned red when she mentioned Chu'er. She felt ashamed of her grandson even in her dreams. When she suddenly heard that the child was still alive, she was surprised and happy, and she wished she could see the child immediately.

But when she thought of what happened to this child, the Queen Mother felt shameless.

While chatting, the Queen Mother yawned and waved her hands to the two of them: "There are still many jackals, tigers and leopards outside waiting for you to deal with. The Ai family is fine for the time being, so don't worry about it."

So before Chu Yunning left, he left some prescriptions for the Queen Mother to take care of her body, and planned to visit the palace again tomorrow.

After leaving the palace gate, Xiao Jingheng looked at Chu Yunning guiltily: "Aning, I'm sorry."

Chu Yunning knew what he was talking about and shook her head: "You are both the Queen Mother's son and Prince Xiao's brother. Some things are caught in the middle. I don't blame you. You have done justice to me today."

When playing the game, Xiao Jingheng obviously let his guard down, otherwise Prince Xiao would not have had the chance to return to Cihe Palace to see the Queen Mother.

But the mighty princess who was also tortured had her waist broken.

Chu Yunning felt the same about this matter and did not blame Xiao Jingheng. Being able to do this was enough.

"Aning, I'm only protecting you once. I won't interfere in the future."

Chu Yunning nodded: "Okay!"

She will resolve the grudge between her and Prince Xiao by herself.

Suddenly the old prince's voice came to his ears, and he shouted at the top of his lungs: "Your Majesty, I was the first to object to Chu Shanggong's position in the middle palace. This is absolutely unacceptable. It is unreasonable and makes people laugh.

Thousands of people reviled you, the late emperor entrusted you to the old minister, and the old minister had no face to face the late emperor."

Xiao Jingheng said to Chu Yunning: "Go back first and leave this place to me."

"good."

Chu Yunning stepped away from the side without looking back. She only heard the old prince kowtow and the banging sound. She curled her lips in disdain and sneered at the corner of her mouth.

When he was about to leave the palace, he happened to meet Jing Zhaoyin. When he saw her, he bowed respectfully and said, "Chu Shang Palace."

In terms of identity, Chu Yunning's identity was not as high as that of Jing Zhao Yin, so she dodged away.

"You're welcome, sir."

Jing Zhaoyin raised his head slightly, not even daring to look at Chu Yunning at eye level, and said: "Wei Chen will go to your lords' mansions to count the population."

Chu Yunning smiled: "You don't need to report this to me, sir. I am the harem minister and I don't care about the affairs of the former dynasty."

"Yes, it was the humble minister who was being rude." Jing Zhaoyin felt a little embarrassed, but Chu Yunning continued to walk forward. This time entering and leaving the palace was different from before, there was no one to stop her, and the people looked at her with mixed looks.

Chu Yunning smiled, got on the carriage and saw the sleepy Beibei. When Beibei heard the noise, he immediately woke up and asked worriedly: "Mother, how is the imperial grandmother?"

"Need to rest."

Just now, she was planning to take Beibei with her, but then she thought that there were too many people, it was complicated, and she didn't know what was going on. She was even more worried that someone would take advantage of him and make a fuss about Beibei, so she placed Beibei in the carriage.

inside.

After Chu Yunning sat firmly, she said to the groom: "Go back home."

"yes."

The carriage started, and Beibei felt both happy and anxious. He took out an exquisite jade pendant from his arms and divided it into two parts: "This is a reward given to me by the Imperial Grandmother when I made a good article in school the year before last."

Yes, I asked Uncle Huang to make it into a jade pendant. It was originally intended to be given to my unborn little sister, but now that I have a eldest brother, I decided to give it to him first."

As for my sister, I will look for other treasures in the future.
