It was rare to hear a thank you from Dongfang Che. Yu Xuan accepted it happily without replying and continued to taste the tea in his hand. However, for some reason, the taste of the tea seemed to have suddenly changed. It became dull both in the mouth and aftertaste.
Sweet.
Zhan Meixiang, long time no see, how are you?
After all the details regarding Zhan Meixiang's safety were handled, Dongfang Che breathed a sigh of relief. Now Dongfang Che still needs to worry about his queen mother.
Only when everyone he cares about has arranged an escape route and has no worries can he, Dongfang Che, give it a go.
Arriving at the front hall of the Queen Mother's palace, the Queen Mother was walking in her back garden.
"The Emperor has arrived!"
Upon hearing the announcement in the front hall, the eunuch hurried over to tell her that the emperor was here, and the queen mother was immediately happy from ear to ear.
Dongfang Che was very busy these days and had little time to see the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother knew that Dongfang Che was very busy, so she didn't have the heart to disturb him, for fear of delaying his handling of court affairs.
Now that Dongfang Che has come to see her, the Queen Mother is naturally very happy. She has not seen her son for several days. I wonder how he has been sleeping recently, is he eating well, and has he lost weight?
As she thought about it, the Queen Mother's footsteps became much brisker. After a while, she arrived at the front hall and saw Dongfang Che, who had been standing in the front hall for a long time.
"See the Queen Mother." Dongfang Che still said hello to the Queen Mother very sensibly.
"Che'er, I haven't seen you for a long time. Please come here and sit here more often when you have free time. My mother misses you so much." The Queen Mother carefully looked up and down at Dongfang Che several times to make sure that she was not thin.
Peace of mind.
"Queen Mother, I'm here to see you," Dongfang Che said. He wanted to arrange for the Queen Mother to move to the basement. After all, that is the safest place. In case of any emergency, the Queen Mother would not be allowed to move to the basement.
been implicated.
"The Ai family will go find the cook to make some of your favorite pastries for you to try. Why don't we leave after dinner." The Queen Mother smiled kindly, but looking at Dongfang Che's hesitant application, she vaguely felt
She was a little uneasy. If her own son had something to do, could he hide it from a mother like her?
"No, mother, don't bother me. I have something to discuss with you today. Everyone else should go down." Following Dongfang Che's order, the palace maids and eunuchs immediately followed the order and retreated, including Aunt An.
When he was about to retreat, Dongfang Che nodded to Nanny An and said, "Nanny An, you can stay."
Aunt An looked at Dongfang Che in surprise and then at the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother nodded slightly and said, "Since Che'er asked you to stay, you can stay."
"Yes, I obey." Nanny An bowed and stood back to the Queen Mother.
"Queen Mother, you also know that recently there are three forces around Dongfang Kingdom that are ready to move, and some even have the intention of rebellion. I hope that Queen Mother and Aunt An can move to the basement. There has been enough dry food and water for more than half a year.
There is a change of clothes, enough for you and Nanny An to live there for a while." Dongfang Che paused here and looked at the Queen Mother's expression.
Sure enough, as Dongfang Che expected, the Queen Mother's expression became very complicated. She frowned and shook her head suddenly, refusing to agree no matter what, "No, Che'er, don't leave you to go to the basement alone. What will you do if the Ai family leaves?"
