In front of her eyes was Xie Mingxi's beautiful face, with a smile on her lips and an earnest expression. She looked considerate and filial.
After being tortured for several years, Empress Dowager Li was tortured to the point of suffering unspeakably. What was hateful and annoying was that she did not even have a chance to seek death. There were people guarding her day and night.
She knew that Queen Mother Yu deliberately wanted to torment her and make her suffer.
No matter how much anger and unwillingness she felt in her heart, she could do nothing about it. This was the case in the palace, those who had the power could control others in the palm of their hands.
The only thing she can do is wait for death.
She was aware of the continuous changes in the palace and the changing of the day. She could not move or speak, but her hearing was not affected. The ladies in the palace often gathered together to gossip about everything in the palace, and she heard everything without missing a beat.
Emperor Jian'an died, several rebellious vassal princes also died, Princess Ningxia died, Princess Lu and Princess Fujian were under house arrest in the palace. The new emperor ascended the throne, and Xie Mingxi became the queen... She knew all this.
However, when Xie Mingxi came to Cining Palace to "take care of the disease", she was still shocked. She had to think in the darkest place in her heart. Could it be that Empress Dowager Yu finally couldn't bear it anymore and wanted to torture her to death, so she sent
Is Xie Mingxi coming?
After a day or two, she had to change her mind.
Empress Dowager Yu wanted to completely trap Xie Mingxi through the matter of "waiting for the disease".
And Xie Mingxi is obviously not an easy master to manipulate. A series of movements are enough to reveal Xie Mingxi's power and superb methods.
Her life, which had been dormant for a long time, was suddenly re-injected with vitality.
She doesn't want to die, she wants to live and watch the battle between Queen Mother Yu and Xie Mingxi.
It doesn't matter if Xie Mingxi uses her as a pawn. The enemy of the enemy is always one of our own. Past grudges are nothing. In order to deal with the common enemy, everything can be temporarily put aside.
Over the past few days, Empress Dowager Li became more and more pleasantly surprised. No one else knew, but she knew her own body best. After changing the prescription, her body slowly became conscious.
Maybe Xie Mingxi can really save her from the fire and water.
But at this time, looking at Xie Mingxi's smiling face, Empress Dowager Li did not feel lucky, but felt chills in her heart one after another.
Xie Mingxi is so young, but her methods are so clever. She is more familiar with the way to control people's hearts.
Empress Dowager Yu is getting older, and she is as old as a rotten wood, and her mind is becoming more and more confused. She has no confidence in front of the young and powerful grandson-in-law.
…
Xie Mingxi's eyes were as bright as a mirror, clearly reflecting the panic of Empress Dowager Li.
Xie Mingxi smiled slightly and said in a gentle voice: "Is the Imperial Grandmother feeling better today? I was interested in medical skills when I was young, and I have studied many medical books and prescriptions. That's why I dared to boldly change the prescription for the Imperial Grandmother."
"The emperor's grandmother has been ill for several years, and her condition has neither worsened nor improved. This is because the imperial doctors did not dare to use strong medicine, which delayed the illness of the emperor's grandmother."
"Don't worry, Grandma Huang, I will definitely help Grandma Huang get better in a month."
This last sentence completely hit Empress Dowager Li seven inches!
Empress Dowager Li's old eyes flashed with eagerness.
As long as her condition can be improved and she can move and speak, she is willing to be a pawn in Xie Mingxi's hands.
Xie Mingxi saw the changes in Empress Dowager Li's expression, and a smile flashed in her eyes. The bait was so tempting that Empress Dowager Li could not refuse it.
Xie Mingxi glanced at her and ordered the maids: "Please step aside for now. I want to have some private words with the Imperial Grandmother."
The maids did not dare to respond and filed out.
Every day, Xie Mingxi would spend a moment alone with Empress Dowager Li. No one knew what they said.
In fact, Xie Mingxi said nothing. She only took out a delicate white porcelain bottle from her sleeve, poured a small pill from the porcelain bottle, and stuffed it into the mouth of Empress Dowager Li.
This pill melts in your mouth, and after taking it, your whole body feels comfortable, and your limp body also has more strength.
In the past few days, Empress Dowager Li's health has improved slightly, which is naturally related to this pill.
This is a pill that Xie Mingxi refined when she was in Shu. It has the effect of regulating the body. Empress Dowager Li was tortured to the point where she had only one breath left. Xie Mingxi had to put in some effort to make her better.
After Xie Mingxi took the pills, she opened her mouth and ordered the food to be passed around.
The show was complete. Xie Mingxi personally fed Empress Dowager Li a bowl of meat porridge before going to have lunch.
She used her tricks and carefully set up the situation, and Queen Mother Yu was already involved. Now, Queen Mother Yu had no choice but to give in. Xie Mingxi, who was in a good mood, had an extra bowl of rice for lunch.
…
Empress Dowager Yu found it difficult to eat.
Now she has completely experienced the feeling of "shooting oneself in the foot".
Xie Mingxi is the daughter-in-law, and she is the mother-in-law. She originally had the upper hand, and she could come up with many ways to torment Xie Mingxi based on her status. But she accidentally thought of a stupid trick and sent Xie Mingxi to Cining Palace.
It's better now that Xie Mingxi is taking up the banner of Empress Dowager Li, openly confronting her, and humiliating her.
If this continues, the situation will be very bad.
Xiao Yuhan also lost his appetite. After taking two bites, he put down his chopsticks. Then, choked with tears, he said: "I heard that Master Yu and others in the court today did not agree with the ceremony of conferring the title of queen. Thank you Shangshu.
When you open your mouth, it’s like a brother-in-law, a widower, or something like that.”
"My daughter-in-law has the courage to ask my mother to issue an edict as soon as possible and perform the ceremony of canonizing the queen. This will also prevent rumors from spreading inside and outside the palace. How can my daughter-in-law have the face to meet the late emperor underground in the future?"
Xiao Yuhan's eyes were red, with a sad, angry and aggrieved look on his face.
Sheng Hong was embarrassed and ashamed. He stood up and apologized: "Sister-in-law, please don't be embarrassed! The idea of a brother-in-law and a widowed sister-in-law is completely nonsense. I have always respected the sister-in-law of the emperor very much!"
Xiao Yuhan covered his face and sobbed.
Sheng Hong could only apologize again with a wry smile, and then looked at Queen Mother Yu with embarrassment: "Mother, what should I do now?"
How could Queen Mother Yu not see that this was a double act that had been planned long ago?
However, she had no other solution at this time except nodding in agreement.
"The countermeasure is very simple." Empress Dowager Yu endured the surging anger in her heart and the shame and indignation of others' calculations, and said gently: "Let the Ministry of Rites determine an auspicious date as soon as possible and perform the queen's canonization ceremony."
"Ms. Xiao, you don't have to worry about trivial matters. The pure will be pure by themselves, and the turbid will be turbid by themselves. You have an open heart, so why worry about rumors."
Xiao Yuhan stopped crying and answered "Yes" with red eyes, filled with emotion in his heart.
She had been anxious and worried about Xie Mingxi before. Unexpectedly, in just a few days, Xie Mingxi had reversed the trend and completely gained the upper hand, forcing Queen Mother Yu to nod.
She had been the Queen of the Central Palace for more than three years, and she had always been like a puppet on strings. If it had been Xie Mingxi, she would have taken back the Phoenix Seal long ago.
