"My subordinates led the Royal Guards to search all palaces, and found this flower only in Cining Palace..." Mo Li lowered his head and said
"I know, you go back first, I'm going to see my mother." Dugu Chen walked out of the palace
"Showing the Cining Palace——" Li Dehai's high-pitched voice echoed in the empty and silent palace.
In Cining Palace, Queen Mother Yin tossed and turned. For some reason, she couldn't fall asleep tonight no matter what.
It feels like there is a stone in my heart, which makes me feel very uneasy
Hearing that she had not yet fallen asleep, the maid on guard at night asked softly: "Your Majesty, do you have any instructions?"
Queen Mother Yin sighed and said: "Help the Ai family to get up, the Ai family can't sleep."
The palace maid opened the curtain, helped Queen Mother Yin up, placed a soft cushion behind her, and said: "Your Majesty, your Majesty has not been resting well these past few days. I will ask the imperial doctor to prescribe a prescription for the Soothing Decoction to my Majesty tomorrow."
The Queen Mother leaned on the cushions, sighed, and said: "The soothing soup was still effective in the past. After drinking it, I felt like sleeping, but I was always distracted and couldn't fall asleep even if I wanted to."
"What's on your mind, Your Majesty?" The palace maid knelt in front of the bed and gently squeezed the Queen Mother's legs.
"It's not like the incident with Lady Fang a few days ago made the Ai family upset." The Queen Mother rubbed her brows.
The palace maid heard this and stopped talking. An hour ago, she heard someone said that Fang Guiren and Liang Guiren were poisoned, but at that time the Queen Mother finally fell asleep, so she didn't let anyone report it. If she had reported it, I'm afraid it wouldn't be as simple as being unable to sleep.
"What's going on with Xueyao recently?" the Queen Mother asked.
"Miss Xueyao has been in the palace these past few days and has not gone out," the palace maid replied.
When the Queen Mother heard this, she finally felt a little relieved. She didn't have a capable informant around her now. Even if Lin Xueyao really ran out to do something, she would be unable to guard against it.
At this time, Li Dehai's high-pitched voice came from outside the palace: "The Emperor has arrived——"
When the maid heard this, she got up and went to lift the curtain. The queen mother was confused, why did the emperor come so late?
"My slave, please give your regards to your Majesty. May your Majesty be blessed with peace and prosperity." The palace maid saluted Dugu Chen as he walked in.
Dugu Chen flicked his sleeves and said: "You guys go down first, I have something to talk to my mother."
"Yes" the palace maid responded and left with Li Dehai.
Seeing that Dugu Chen came so late and sent all the maids out, the Queen Mother had a bad feeling in her heart. She looked at Dugu Chen and asked: "Your Majesty, why are you here so late?"
Dugu Chen walked aside, sat down and said, "I have something I would like to ask my mother for advice."
"Oh?" The Queen Mother raised her eyebrows slightly, "Why do you have to ask for advice so late?"
Dugu Chen raised his eyes to look at her, trying hard to hide the coldness in his eyes, "I would like to ask my godmother, if someone is kind to me, how should I treat them?"
The Queen Mother was a little puzzled when she heard this, but she still said: "Repaying kindness is what a gentleman does. What's more, the Dugu family has always repaid a drop of kindness with a spring of spring."
Dugu Chen nodded, "What the Queen Mother said was that the Queen Mother was kind to her children, so the children knew how to repay their kindness and did not hold the ninth brother accountable, which allowed the Queen Mother to ascend to the position of Queen Mother and live a prosperous life."
The Queen Mother was slightly startled when she heard this, then nodded and said nothing more.
"Does the Queen Mother think Qing Yi is kind to her son?" Dugu Chen asked.
The Queen Mother chuckled, "This is natural. When the traitors besieged you, Qingyi blocked a sword for you, not to mention what Qingyi did to help you win the throne in the future. The Queen did for you, they are all countless.
