The Yuxia Palace on the other side was in a state of chaos.
"Go and check the small kitchen to see if the sweet soup is ready?"
"Light the candle a little, Your Majesty, don't hurt your eyes by reading at night."
"Baoqin, take a look, does this hairpin look better on me, or does this hairpin look better on me?"
Zhong Chuchu held two hairpins and gestured to the mirror and asked the maid behind her.
There was a smile on Baoqin's lips: "Your Majesty, you have a beautiful face, and you will look good no matter what you wear."
When Zhong Chuchu heard this, she smiled proudly: "This is natural."
"The master and madam also know the good news about your mother-in-law, and they are very happy for you." Baoqin said while combing Zhong Chuchu's hair behind her.
Zhong Chuchu pulled the jewelry in the jewelry box in front of her with a smile on her lips: "Yes, the only wish of father and mother is that I can conceive the emperor's heir as soon as possible, so that our Zhong family can be prosperous forever."
"Your Majesty has a special liking for the empress. It's only a matter of time before the emperor has an heir." Baoqin only picked up the nice things and said.
These words spoke to Zhong Chuchu's heart, and privately she felt that it was just something within reach.
"When I give birth to a prince, he will be the future prince."
When Zhong Chuchu said this, a cruel look flashed in his eyes.
"When the time comes, no matter how well I deal with that bitch, I will definitely let her taste the feeling of being cut into pieces by a thousand cuts, and life will be worse than death."
Thinking of the humiliation of the slap this morning, Zhong Chuchu felt more and more hatred in her heart. Mu Qingchao, with such a humble status, was so rude to her. Why should she?
Once she had grasped Shen Muchi's heart and established a firm foothold in the harem, killing Mu Qingchao would be like squeezing an ant to death.
At that time, she would hate it and return it a hundred times a thousand times.
However, just at this moment, a young eunuch rushed in in a hurry. His behavior was a bit reckless, and he accidentally bumped the table, causing a "ding, clang, clank" sound.
The hurried look on his face seemed a bit out of place with the joyous atmosphere in the entire Yuxia Palace, which particularly ruined the atmosphere.
Before Zhong Chuchu could say anything, Baoqin behind her started scolding her.
"What are you doing? You are in such a hurry that you have offended the queen. Can you bear it?"
The eunuch threw himself down and knelt at Zhong Chuchu's feet: "This slave deserves to die, this slave deserves to die, please spare my life..."
Zhong Chuchu turned her head away unhappily, and just as she was about to retaliate, she looked at the little eunuch at her feet who seemed somewhat familiar, as if she had seen him by His Majesty's side.
She pressed down impatiently and asked: "What can I do for father-in-law?"
"Your Majesty, your Majesty asked your servant to deliver a message. He...can't come tonight."
"What?"
Zhong Chuchu's face suddenly fell.
"What do you mean you can't come? What do you mean you can't come?"
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty originally planned to come to Yuxia Palace, but halfway... on the way, I heard that the Queen Mother suddenly fainted and fell unconscious. Your Majesty was deeply filial, so he turned around and went to Chaoyun Palace.
Your Majesty couldn't bear that your Majesty had to wait so long, so he sent a servant to send a message to your Majesty.
Madam, please rest early, you don’t have to wait for him tonight."
"Snapped."
As soon as the little eunuch finished speaking, he felt something hit his forehead, something cold and painful.
As the thing "dingdong" fell, he saw clearly that it was a hairpin.
When he looked up at the Jade Concubine again, he saw that her face was ashen, she was leaning on the dressing table with one hand, and her whole body was trembling.
"Why is filial piety so important? Is it possible that Your Majesty really has a deep mother-son relationship with that bitch?"
Zhong Chuchu was so angry that she couldn't help but speak.
The little eunuch was so frightened that he lowered his head and said in a trembling voice: "I don't know what the empress is talking about. I am just responsible for passing on the message. These are all your Majesty's wishes."
Zhong Chuchu was almost going crazy.
"roll!"
This was what the young eunuch was waiting for, and the words "Slave resign" would make him lose his temper.
Just at this time, a little maid came up with sweet soup.
She felt that the atmosphere was a bit depressing, but she was afraid that she would do something wrong, so she bit the bullet and asked: "Mother, the sweet soup is ready and Your Majesty has not yet come. If you put it on the table now, will it get cold?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he felt a gaze fall on him.
The little maid met Zhong Chuchu's eyes, which were like knives. She was so frightened for a moment that she didn't dare to say anything.
"ah!!!"
A sudden scream made everyone's hearts tremble.
Zhong Chuchu raised her hand and directly overturned the sweet soup in the little maid's hand.
The hot sweet soup splashed all over the little maid, which made her grimace in pain, but she did not dare to hum.
"If you had fainted earlier, you would have fainted later, but you fainted at this time. She did it on purpose, on purpose. She just deliberately went against me!" Zhong Chuchu's voice was sharp and crazy.
Only Baoqin also felt sorry for his master and knelt in front of her: "Your Majesty, please write a letter to me and let me tell you how to kill that bitch."
"Write a letter? What letter?
It was known to everyone that His Majesty summoned her to Fulin Palace this morning, and this afternoon he passed on the imperial edict, saying that he did not dare to disobey the late emperor, respected etiquette and laws, and still respected that bitch as the Queen Mother.
Dad didn’t say anything at that time, can he still regret it temporarily now?”
Zhong Chuchu dug her nails into her flesh and said through gritted teeth: "Besides, what do you want dad to say?
He said that he originally thought that His Majesty was going to visit me, but he didn't expect that now he was cut off halfway. So he wanted that bitch's life again?
Do you think dad can say this?"
She never expected that she would be teased by Mu Qingchao like this.
A despicable person whom she had never looked down upon before, was now playing tricks on her again and again.
Unforgivable!
Baoqin didn't know what to say for a while. In the huge Yuxia Palace, everyone held their breath and kept silent. It was as quiet as death.
Only the candles illuminated the palace brightly, but they were swaying as if they were mocking.
**
On the other side is the Chaoyun Palace.
Mu Chaoyun lay on the warm bed and woke up quietly.
The brocade quilt beneath him was soft and comfortable, and the charcoal fire in the charcoal basin burned brightly, heating the whole room. Mu Qingchao only felt drowsy.
"Queen Mother, are you awake?"
Chun Ya stayed by her side and asked with concern.
"I just fainted?" Mu Qingchao asked.
"Yes." Qiangwei said from the side: "Your Majesty came here just now, and the imperial doctor also came to see me. Fortunately, I just contracted wind and cold. The imperial doctor prescribed medicine, and I will be fine in a few days."
Qiangwei stepped forward to help Mu Qingchao hold the corner of the quilt and said, "I heard that the one from Yuxia Palace was making a big fuss by smashing cups and plates. That's what the Queen Mother did."
Chun Ya laughed at the side: "But it's really a relief. I really want to see that cousin's face. She must be so wonderful."
When Chun Ya said this, Qiangwei couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"It's true to relieve the qi, but the Queen Mother must never abuse her body like this again. Fortunately, it's not a serious problem. If there are any shortcomings, the gain will outweigh the loss."
Mu Qingchao listened to the two girls talking but said nothing.
After a moment, she said: "Chun Ya, go put out the charcoal fire."
Chun Ya was stunned.
"ah?"
She suspected that she heard wrongly, "The Queen Mother has just caught a cold, should she put out the charcoal fire now? Hasn't she already treated her cousin, why do she still need to..."
"Qiangwei, go and open the window."
Mu Qingchao directly interrupted Chun Ya's words and turned to Qiangwei.
"Also, the quilt on Aijia's body is too thick. Go get a thinner bed."
