Mrs. Liu lowered her head in embarrassment. Later, Mrs. Dai Jia and Mrs. Wu also tried to persuade her, but to no avail. Just as Ling Ruo was about to speak, Wu Yashi had already said, "You don't have to persuade the Aijia. The Aijia said they don't want to."
eat."
Ling Ruoxiao smiled and said: "I know that I actually want to play a piece of music for the Queen. I wonder if the Queen is up to listen?"
Hearing this, Wu Yashi became somewhat interested. At the same time, she remembered something, "The Ai family has remembered that the late emperor liked to hear you play music very much and even gave you a flute." He said this.
, she nodded and said: "Okay, if nothing happens, you can play a song for the Ai family to listen to."
"Yes." Ling Ruo bowed slightly, took the jade flute handed over by Shui Xiu and began to play slowly. It was "Goose Falling on the Flat Sand". When she met Kangxi by chance in the forest in the past, she played this song, which was so spacious and spiritual.
The music is so timeless and fresh that one can't help but feel immersed in it, unable to regain consciousness for a long time.
After the last syllable fell, Wu Yashi said: "Bring the jade flute to the Ai family to see."
Ling Ruo handed it over as instructed, Wu Yashi's hands were shaking slightly when she took it, and her nose couldn't help but feel sore when she stroked the warm body of the flute.
Late Emperor, I will come down to accompany you soon. In the past three years, I have spent every day in my thoughts. I often think of the scene when you and I first met. How wonderful it would be if time could be frozen at that time.
, there will be no later separation of life and death...
After returning the jade flute to Ling Ruo, Wu Ya said to Wan Qiu: "Give the medicine to the Ai family."
A hint of surprise flashed in Wan Qiu's eyes, "Queen Mother, are you willing to take the medicine?"
"Concubine Xi guessed in advance that Aijia would not take the medicine and brought the flute. How could Aijia not give her face?" In such laughter, Wu Yashi drank up the medicine and felt the taste in her mouth.
Bitterly, she said: "In late autumn, go get the pickled plums that the queen sent last time."
Hearing this, Wan Qiu reminded: "The Queen Mother has forgotten that the plums have disappeared a few days ago. I heard from the Queen that the plums are all freshly pickled. I know that your mouth will feel bitter after taking the medicine, so I gave you all the pickled ones last time."
You brought it, and if you eat it now, the Queen will have to marinate it again."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Liu and others showed a bit of discomfort on their faces. The fact that La Shi was stabbed by Mr. Nian was still hidden from Wu Ya Shi, for fear that her condition would be aggravated due to worry. If she goes now in late autumn,
Now, don’t you know everything?
Thinking of this, Mrs. Dai Jia smiled and said: "If the Queen wants to eat plums, she can just let the imperial kitchen pickle them. Why do she have to have the Queen's plums?"
Hearing this, Wan Qiu said, "I don't know what I know. Although they are all pickled plums, only the ones made by the Empress are the most suitable for the Queen Mother." After answering like this, she handed a cup of jasmine tea to Wu Yashi.
"Your Majesty, please rinse your mouth first. I will ask the Queen to pickle the plums."
Seeing that Late Autumn was about to leave, Mrs. Liu hurriedly called to stop and said, "Queen Mother, I have some ready-made candied fruits over there. Why don't you go get them for you to try?"
When Wu Yashi was about to refuse, she suddenly saw that several people looked strange, and she couldn't help but become suspicious, "Are you hiding something from the Ai family?"
Dai Jia was a little uncomfortable and said: "The Queen is joking, how dare I hide this from you?"
Liu and others joined in, but Wu Ya's suspicion increased. She looked at Ling Ruo who had not spoken and said, "Concubine Xi, tell the Ai family what happened, and is it related to the queen?"
Ling Ruo knew that she couldn't hide it, so she could only tell the truth: "Yes, yesterday Nian went crazy and said that the queen poisoned the third elder brother and assassinated the queen in public in Kunning Palace. Fortunately, the queen was blessed and did not let her succeed, but she also
He was injured and is now resting in Kunning Palace."
Wu Yashi sat up straight in shock, "How could such a thing happen?" Without waiting for Ling Ruo's answer, she asked again: "How is Nian Shi? Has the Emperor dealt with it?"
Now that we have talked about this, there is no point in hiding it anymore, Ling Ruo said quietly: "The emperor has deposed the Nian family and put him in the cold palace."
While Wu Ya was shocked that Nian had done such a rebellious thing, she also sympathized with her. The reason why Nian was so mad about gain and loss was, in the final analysis, caused by the memory of her son.
"In late autumn, you go to Kunning Palace later to see how the queen is doing, and also give her the Ganoderma lucidum that the emperor ordered before. It would be a waste to use these things on the Ai family."
Because of this incident and the thought of Hong Sheng who died young, Wu Yashi's mood was cast into a shadow. Even if Mrs. Liu told another joke later, it could not make her laugh.
"Queen Mother..." Mrs. Wu looked at Wu Yashi with some worry. The latter knew what she wanted to say and waved her hand: "The Ai family is fine."
Wan Qiu took the opportunity and said, "Queen Mother, would you like me to help you sleep for a while?"
"No, the Ai family is not tired for the time being. Besides, we will have lunch later. Please go down and have lunch brought here. The Ai family will use it with Concubine Xi and the others. On such a day, it will be like this in the future.
Not much more.”
When Mrs. Liu heard this, her eyes suddenly turned red and she said with a little choked up: "Queen Mother, you are so kind and amiable, God will bless you and everything will be fine."
Just as Wu Yashi was about to speak, she heard the palace people outside calling the emperor auspiciousness. She looked up and saw Yinzhen striding towards him. The first thing he said after entering the palace was: "The emperor feels so good today."
how?"
Looking at Yinzhen, who was dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe, Wu Yashi slightly showed her face, beckoning him to come closer, "With Concubine Xi and the others chatting with the Ai family, they didn't feel bored at all. As for their bodies, they were still the same as before. But the emperor was like this
I'm coming here at that time, I'm afraid I've just gone to court, so why don't I go and see the Queen?"
As soon as Yinzhen heard what she said, he knew that Wu Yashi had already known about the queen's injury, and immediately said: "I will go there later, Queen Mother, don't worry."
Wu Yashi nodded and said: "If the emperor is not busy with court affairs, he might as well stay here and have lunch with the Ai family. Concubine Xi and the others are all here, so it will be more lively."
"How dare I disobey the emperor's mother's orders?" Yinzhen agreed obediently, and then said: "I have already issued an order to my fourteenth brother. Tomorrow he will enter the palace to bid farewell to the emperor's mother."
"Okay, the Ai family understands." Wu Yashi smiled and nodded without saying too much, because she knew that Yinzhen understood.
After asking a few more questions about Wu Ya's health, Yinzhen glanced at Ling Ruo and said with a slight thought: "I have something I want to discuss with the Queen."
Wu Yashi asked Wanyue to stuff another cushion behind her back so that she could sit more comfortably, "Please tell me and listen."
Yinzhen said softly: "Now the queen is injured and needs to rest; the Nian family has been relegated to the cold palace, but it is absolutely impossible to have no one in charge of the Sixth Palace. Therefore, I want Concubine Xi to temporarily take charge of the affairs of the Sixth Palace.
What do you think?"
Ling Ruo looked at Yinzhen in surprise, and immediately felt a faint joy in her heart, but it was not because of the power in front of her, but because of Yinzhen's trust.
