Ling Ruo quickly ordered someone to stop the carriage, lifted the curtain and looked back, only to see Yong Lian running quickly on her calves, running all the way to the carriage. Although Ling Ruo was dissatisfied with Mingyu, it did not affect her.
She liked this grandson, so she stroked his little face which was red from running and said, "If you don't study hard, what are you doing here?"
Yonglian took a moment to catch his breath, and then said eagerly: "Grandma Huang, why are you going to Mount Wutai? My grandson can't bear to leave you."
Ling Ruowen said: "Grandma Huang is reluctant to leave you, but Grandma Huang has to go and will be back soon. You have to study hard. Grandma Huang will test your homework when she comes back."
"Yes." After Yonglian responded, he ran to the carriage where Xianyue was riding and said in a dull tone: "Auntie, do you have to go too?"
Xianyue smiled slightly and said: "Your imperial grandmother is old. If my aunt doesn't follow me, how can your imperial mother rest assured?" Seeing Yong Lian's gloomy look, she added: "I will tell you when my aunt comes back.
Interesting things outside the palace, okay?”
After all, Yong Lian was still a child. When he heard this, he immediately nodded excitedly and said, "Okay, I haven't been outside the palace yet. My aunt means what she says. You can't cheat, otherwise you will be a puppy."
Seeing his extended little finger, Xianyue smiled and hooked up with him, "Okay, it's a deal!"
Under Yong Lian's reluctant eyes, the chariot moved forward again and finally disappeared from Yong Lian's sight.
After ordering the palace servants to take Yong Lian back to Kunning Palace, Mingyu said worriedly: "Your Majesty, is the Queen still blaming me for Shui Yue?"
Hongli sighed deeply and said: "After all, Shuiyue has been with Huang's mother for so many years. Now that she passed away suddenly and died so miserably, Huang's mother will inevitably feel uncomfortable. When Huang's mother comes back from Mount Wutai, she should be fine.
Already."
Mingyu's eyes turned red and she cried: "I didn't mean to harm Shui Yue. I... I told Shui Yue not to touch her, but Shui Yue didn't listen to my words, so she ended up being plagued by smallpox and lost.
I lost my life. I am really a queen.
Regret, I shouldn’t have listened to Concubine Hui and done such harming things to others and myself. In the past few days, whenever I close my eyes, I will see Shui Yue standing in front of me, saying that I killed her.
I am so afraid that she will really come to claim my life."
Hongli held her trembling hands tightly and comforted: "No, let the past things pass. It's useless to think about it. But in the future, such things must never happen again, do you understand?"
Mingyu shook his head quickly and said repeatedly: "I don't dare to do it anymore, I absolutely don't dare."
Hongli nodded and said, "Okay, let's go back. I still have a lot of things to read."
Mingyu pulled his sleeve and said anxiously: "Can the emperor come to Kunning Palace for dinner tonight? I will personally cook some dishes that the emperor likes to eat."
Hongli hesitated for a moment, but finally couldn't bear to disappoint Mingyu, and said: "Okay, I will come over after I approve the memorial. But you are not in good health, so you don't have to cook specially. Just let the palace people do it."
Hongli's agreement made Mingyu feel relieved and smiled, "I'm just cooking a few dishes, it won't bother me."
After watching Hongli leave, Mingyu also returned to Kunning Palace. As soon as he stepped into the palace gate, a palace attendant came to greet him and said: "Master, Concubine Hui is here and is waiting in the side hall."
Mingyu's eyes darkened, and when she entered the side hall, she saw Mrs. Gao waiting there. As soon as the latter saw her appearance, she immediately came up to her and said, "I would like to pay my respects to the empress."
Mingyu glanced at her and said, "What are you doing here, Concubine Hui?"
Mrs. Gao could hear the impatience in her words and said: "My Lady, what did the Empress Dowager say to you in Cining Palace the day before yesterday? Why did the incident suddenly turn out to be Xiao Liuzi's doing, but Concubine Xian was fine?
?Now you are accompanying the Queen Mother to Mount Wutai?"
Mingyu said coldly: "Didn't I say that I don't know? Concubine Hui kept asking questions, but she didn't believe what I said?"
Mrs. Gao lowered her head slightly and said: "I don't dare, but the empress is the first person called in by the Queen Mother. If you say you don't know anything about it, it would be a bit unreasonable. Let's say..." She turned her eyes slightly and said: "The Queen Mother
Don’t you want me to tell you?”
Mingyu looked panicked, turned away and said: "Whether you believe it or not, I don't know why things turned out like this. The Queen Mother called me in, she just asked about the situation at that time, nothing else."
How could Mrs. Gao believe it? When she wanted to ask again, Mingyu said: "I am very tired, Concubine Hui, please leave."
"Empress..." As soon as Mrs. Gao said these two words, Mingyu called the palace servants to help her go to the inner hall to rest. Her behavior, which was almost escaping, not only Mrs. Gao, but also Wenzhu noticed that something was wrong.
He whispered: "Master, the Queen seems to be very reluctant to talk about this matter."
"She must be hiding something from me." Gao thought for a moment and said: "Now that the Queen Mother is not in the palace, you can find a way to inquire at Cining Palace and see if you can get some clues about the smallpox incident.
As a result, I feel weird no matter what I think."
Wen Zhu nodded and said, "I understand, but the people in Cining Palace are notoriously strict with their mouths. I'm afraid they won't be able to gain any fame."
Mrs. Gao gritted her teeth and said: "No matter how strict you are, you have to find a way to pry me open. Since that incident, the attitude of the Queen Mother, the Emperor, and the Queen towards me has changed. There must be something weird among them."
In the next few days, Wenzhu spent a lot of money and thought of many ways, but he still could not get any useful information. However, Gao was not depressed about this, because since these days, Hongli often turned over
Her sign summoned her to sleep with her, and she was expected to be even better than before. She received rewards every three days. Such favor and kindness made Gao gradually forget about the smallpox incident.
However, I don’t know since when, Mrs. Gao began to feel weak and dizzy. Zhou Minghua was sent for diagnosis and treatment. He said that his qi and blood were weak, and he prescribed a bunch of medicines to replenish qi and blood, but the situation remained the same as before, no, I should say...
It got worse and worse, and later on, Gao didn't even have the strength to get off the ground, so he could only lie on the couch all day long.
On this day, Mr. Gao woke up from his deep sleep. When he saw Wenzhu standing guard in front of the bed, he asked weakly: "What time is it now?"
Wenzhu lifted Mr. Gao up and sat on the bedside, then picked up the medicine bowl placed on the small table and said: "When I return to the master, it's already past Shenshi. You have slept for almost a day, and the medicine has been heated several times. You
Drink it quickly."
Mrs. Gao said with disgust: "After drinking for so long, my condition has not improved at all. Even if I drink more, it will be useless. I just drank it and poured it down."
Wenzhu advised: "Mr. Zhou said that your disease has never been seen before. It must be treated slowly and not in a hurry."
"Why treat it slowly? According to me, he is simply incapable of curing my illness. Fortunately, the emperor still trusts him so much." Mrs. Gao said excitedly. After taking a breath, she said: "Go, please
Other imperial doctors come to diagnose and treat me."
