Murong Xitian saw that the Queen Mother's complexion calmed down, and waited for the imperial doctor to arrive before he stood up and left.
However, he did not leave the palace directly, but went to Zheng'an Palace to meet the emperor. After the brothers discussed it, Murong Xitian left the capital. Murong Leiting got up in the middle of the night and hurried to the Queen Mother's palace.
The Queen Mother, who was thinking about countermeasures, heard that Murong Leiting was coming, and she was startled and immediately thought of his purpose.
"Emperor, are you feeling better?" The Empress Dowager asked Murong Leiting to serve tea, and then revealed the reason for his visit before Murong Leiting could speak, "Is the emperor here to lobby for Xi Tian?"
Murong Leiting smiled faintly: "Xi Tian is different from me. He always has his own opinions and doesn't like others to interfere in his life. The Queen Mother should let it go as far as getting a new wife."
"What about the continuation of the Murong family? Don't want it at all?" The Queen Mother suddenly became furious, "Emperor, as the king of a country, how can you be so affectionate as a son and daughter? It doesn't matter whether you feel sorry for your brother or don't want the Ai family to force Xi Tian.
The Ai family has made up their minds about this matter, and even the emperor’s intercession will not change anything.”
"The Queen Mother..." Murong Leiting didn't expect the Queen Mother to be so tough, and couldn't help but worry about Murong Xitian.
Today's conversation with Murong Xitian made him understand that he had already been deeply in love with Princess Xiao. And Princess Xiao's attitude towards Murong Xitian in the hall that day was by no means ruthless.
I'm afraid that if the Queen Mother persists, she will only make things get out of hand.
"The Ai family is tired. The Emperor should go to bed early." The Queen Mother said with a cold face and put the Buddhist beads in her hand on the table.
Murong Leiting knew that the Queen Mother was too angry and could not persuade her, so he had to say goodbye and retreat for the time being. When he found a good opportunity in the future, he would help Murong Xitian to persuade the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother was lying down, but she was tossing and turning and couldn't sleep.
She suddenly stood up and called Eunuch Xin over: "Pass the Ai family's decree and summon Zixuan into the palace immediately."
"I sincerely obey the Queen Mother's decree." Eunuch Xin got the order, left the palace that night, and rushed to the palace to pick him up.
Ye Zixuan, who was in a daze after receiving the imperial edict, had no time to dress up delicately, so she changed into ordinary clothes, simply combed her hair, and followed Eunuch Xin into the palace.
It was already midnight, and suddenly half of the dark clouds blew over the starry sky, covering up the brilliance of the bright moon. The earth fell into darkness, which was deep and depressing.
When Ye Zixuan walked to Fuxi Hall, a whirlwind suddenly blew up, forcing her to stop.
Why did the Queen Mother urgently summon her to the palace? It must be because of what happened during the day, but she was still not sure whether it was good news or bad news.
"What's wrong?" Father Xin had to stop because she stopped, and turned around to ask her why.
Ye Zixuan hurriedly and politely thanked Eunuch Xin: "It's just that the strong wind blinded my eyes for a moment, causing trouble to Eunuch Xin. I really feel sorry for it."
"Easy to say, easy to say. Princess, hurry up, the Queen Mother is waiting." Eunuch Xin urged in a sharp voice, but his complexion did look much better.
Although he knew that the Queen Mother loved Princess Haoyang very much, he still looked down upon such a person who had no backing and power, no matter how high his status was.
If the lady in front of her was Princess Xiao, then it would be a different matter. She would only kneel down and lick her shoes.
Ye Zixuan hurriedly followed, but she secretly made a calculation in her heart - when she becomes Murong Xitian's concubine in the future, and then brings Xia Ziluo out of court and she becomes the head wife, then who will dare to show off his power in front of her?
