After the Empress Dowager left the main hall, she sat in the backyard and never appeared again. She took a sip of the tea brought by the palace ladies and stared at the distance in a daze.
After a while, she asked the palace maid next to her: "Is Queen Mother Yuexi still kowtowing there?"
"Yes, the Queen Mother!"
"Well, you go down!" The Empress Dowager raised her hand to the palace maid.
"Yes, I will leave this slave."
After the palace maid withdrew, the Empress Dowager frowned again.
Inside the main hall——
Luoshui looked at Queen Mother Yuexi who kept kowtowing at the door and did not dare to relax at all. She shook her head feebly.
What on earth is this Queen Mother doing? She has harmed both the Emperor and herself.
She really couldn't understand, the emperor was also her son, how could she have the heart to risk his life for that little emperor? How could there be such a mother in this world.
Just looking at her like this, she really couldn't bear it. A woman and a child came all the way to Jinling to borrow troops, and failed repeatedly. In fact, she also understood that if the Queen Mother could not borrow troops, not only the little emperor would have to bear the burden.
With the reputation of the king who subjugated the country, even Yuexi herself was too embarrassed to go back to meet the people of Haoyue.
Seeing Yuexi knocking her forehead so hard that her forehead was bleeding, she finally couldn't help but speak out after falling into the water.
Walking up to Yue Xi, she said calmly: "Queen Yue Xi, please stop knocking!"
Luoshui's words made Yue Xi suddenly raise her head, a trace of surprise flashed in her eyes, "Luo... Miss Luoshui, I..."
"Get up, I'll talk to the Queen Mother!" She said to the maids standing around her: "Hel Queen Mother Yuexi up."
"yes."
The palace maid obediently stepped forward and helped Yue Xi up. Seeing that her forehead was bruised and bleeding, and her feet were weak from kneeling for a long time, she looked at her in the water and shook her head helplessly.
"Girl who fell into the water, you..." Yue Xi bit her lower lip, looking like she was hesitating to speak. After hesitating for a long time, she hesitated and said: "Can you... can you help me beg the Empress Dowager?
