Envoy Zhao also stood up and stood aside with his hands down. Apart from his pale complexion, there was nothing unusual about him.
Queen Mother Yu, who was sitting on the phoenix chair, returned to normal in just a short moment.
Xie Mingxi twitched the corners of her lips slightly and stepped forward to salute: "My daughter-in-law wishes my mother the best."
Before Empress Dowager Yu could open her mouth, she said with a joyful smile: "Envoy Zhao is here, and he must have told his mother the good news. Her illness has been improving recently, and this morning she actually said three words.
! My daughter-in-law was so happy that she came here to report the good news to her mother."
He came here specifically to poke her heart and show off his power!
Empress Dowager Yu sneered in her heart, but her face showed no trace of it, but she actually showed a happy smile: "Okay! It is indeed excellent news!"
"Ms. Xie, you have done a good job in taking care of the disease! The Ai family will definitely be richly rewarded!"
Xie Mingxi thanked her with a smile, then laughed softly and said: "The Imperial Grandmother has always been thinking about the Queen in her heart. Today, when she opened her mouth, she called out the Queen's maiden name."
Queen Mother Yu: "..."
Empress Dowager Yu clenched the handle of the chair with her right hand, revealing the veins on the back of her hand.
Empress Dowager Li opened her mouth to call her by name, and indeed she was always "missing" about her!
Xie Mingxi seemed not to notice Queen Mother Yu's suddenly gloomy expression, and said with a brisk smile: "My daughter-in-law has ordered someone to deliver this good news to Yiqing Palace. I think the emperor will come soon after hearing the news."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhilan came in and reported: "To the Queen Mother, the Emperor has arrived at Jiaofang Hall."
When the Emperor arrives, the Queen Mother does not need to get up. As the Queen, Xie Mingxi naturally goes out to greet him.
Sheng Hong, who was wearing a dragon robe, also looked happy and took Xie Mingxi's hand into the hall.
…
Empress Dowager Yu's eyes passed over the clasped hands of the Emperor and Empress, and a distant scene suddenly flashed in her mind.
Thirty years ago, Emperor Jianwen and her husband and wife were in love. Emperor Jianwen often held her hand like this, and went hand in hand to meet the Empress Dowager Li.
At this moment, she could slightly appreciate the unhappiness that Queen Mother Li felt when she saw her son and daughter-in-law being so affectionate.
It turns out that as a mother-in-law, seeing such a scene is so dazzling.
In front of him is the young and loving empress, but sitting on the phoenix chair, he is alone and aging. Such a strong contrast, such a sharp contrast, how can it not make people feel like they are stuck in their throats?
"I heard that the emperor's grandmother's illness improved, and I was extremely happy." Sheng Hong smiled brightly and said, "I want to visit the emperor's grandmother now. Would you like to go with me?"
When the mother-in-law's illness improves, how can the daughter-in-law not visit her?
In the past, Empress Dowager Yu rubbed Empress Dowager Li, and Emperor Jian'an just did not know. Now, Sheng Hong mentioned the emperor's grandmother confidently and openly. As his daughter-in-law, Empress Dowager Yu had to abide by her filial piety.
Empress Dowager Yu cannot help but jump into this trap!
Empress Dowager Yu pursed her lips tightly, looking past the young smiling faces of Sheng Hong and Xie Mingxi, and sneered in her heart.
What a great Shenghong!
What a great Xie Mingxi!
You used the word filial piety to set up a trap to deal with me. If this is the case, no wonder I will be ruthless in the future!
"Of course I want to go." Empress Dowager Yu suddenly laughed: "You two are very filial. The late Emperor knows how secretly he is, and I don't know how happy he is."
The first emperor mentioned by Queen Mother Yu, of course, refers to Emperor Jianwen.
Sheng Hong didn't seem to hear the slight sarcasm in Empress Dowager Yu's mouth, and sighed with a smile: "Yes! Before my father passed away, the thing he was most worried about was the emperor's grandmother. Now that the illness of the emperor's grandmother has improved, my father's spirit in heaven must be happy.
."
…
After a stick of incense.
Empress Dowager Yu, Sheng Hong, Xie Mingxi and others arrived at Cining Palace.
Xiao Yuhan also came after hearing the news and bumped into Empress Dowager Yu and her party.
Xiao Yuhan smiled and saluted, his face beaming with joy: "I heard the good news and came here specifically to visit the Imperial Grandmother."
Queen Mother Yu showed a loving smile: "Since we met together, we went in with the Ai family." Then, she took the initiative to greet Xie Mingxi: "Ms. Xie, you and Mrs. Xiao will help the Ai family in."
It is natural for a daughter-in-law to serve her mother-in-law.
Xie Mingxi responded with a smile, and she and Xiao Yuhan supported Queen Mother Yu's arms on the left and right, and entered the Cining Palace.
Xiao Yuhan quietly winked at Xie Mingxi.
Could it be that the one-month period mentioned before was the day when Empress Dowager Li's condition improved?
Xie Mingxi smiled calmly.
After a while, the group entered the bedroom of Empress Dowager Li.
The dormitory that used to be filled with stinky stuff all year round is now clean and tidy without the bad smell. The mattresses are all new. Empress Dowager Li is wearing clean new clothes and has an old face as wrinkled as an orange.
It actually relaxed a lot.
The moment she saw Empress Dowager Yu, Empress Dowager Li's eyes lit up with fire.
Empress Dowager Yu sneered at the corner of her mouth, and with the support of her daughter-in-law, she made a virtual bow: "My daughter-in-law has met the queen mother."
Empress Dowager Li barely squeezed out two words: "Ping Shen."
Having not spoken for four years, Empress Dowager Li spoke slowly and her voice was hoarse and unpleasant, like gravel crushed by stones. It was extremely unpleasant and uncomfortable to listen to.
Queen Mother Yu's heart sank when she heard this.
This old poisonous woman can actually speak!
In the past, she covered the sky with her hands in the palace, and no one cared about how she wanted to rub the old poisonous woman. No one dared to support the old poisonous woman. Now, the young empress has made it clear that she wants to take up the role of Empress Dowager Li.
Go against her with a big chess!
"My mother's illness has improved, and my daughter-in-law is very pleased." Queen Mother Yu suppressed the turmoil in her heart, raised the corners of her lips, and said with a smile: "This is all thanks to Mr. Xie's contribution to the disease."
Enemies are extremely jealous when they meet.
Empress Dowager Yu could still endure it, but Empress Dowager Li, who had been tortured for four whole years, was filled with hatred. It almost overflowed her eyes and sprayed onto Empress Dowager Yu's face.
"hehe!"
Empress Dowager Li wanted to show off as a victor who had the upper hand, and she even wanted to say all the mean and vicious words in the world. However, her physical strength was limited, and her voice had not recovered yet, so she could only squeeze out two words.
Xie Mingxi took over the conversation at the right time and said with a smile: "The royal grandmother can see my mother today, and I don't know how happy she is in her heart."
Empress Dowager Li squeezed out another word: "Yes."
Sheng Hong smiled naturally and said: "It's rare to see the Royal Grandmother's happy face. It's better for the Queen to come to Cining Palace to visit her more often in the future. If the Royal Grandmother is in a good mood, maybe her illness will be cured faster."
Empress Dowager Li said another word: "Yes."
Xiao Yuhan was a little frightened when he heard this, and subconsciously raised his eyes and looked over.
From her angle, she could see Queen Mother Yu tightening the corners of her mouth and tightening the muscles in her chin. There was a dark fire in her eyes.
Xiao Yuhan, who was familiar with Empress Dowager Yu's temper, knew clearly that this was a sign that Empress Dowager Yu was angry.
Wouldn’t he fall out on the spot?
Queen Mother Yu said two words lightly: "That's fine."
