Eight hundred and eightieth chapter confuse the enemy
The next day, Xie Mingxi reported illness.
The spy stationed in Fulin Palace secretly came to report that the emperor was drunk in another bedroom yesterday, and the candles in Queen Xie's bedroom were lit all night.
Xie Mingxi was so angry and worried that she stayed up all night. She didn't want to show weakness to others, so she simply "reported illness" and refused to come out.
Queen Mother Yu's eyes flashed with joy, and the expression on her face was particularly gentle and loving. She ordered Yu Qiao to send some supplements to Fulin Palace: "Pass on the Ai family's instructions and let the Queen rest well!"
It would be better to just get sick.
Empress Dowager Yu was in a very good mood. Concubine Mei was extremely worried when she heard that Xie Mingxi fell ill. Regardless of her frail body, she went to Fulin Palace to visit Empress Xie in person.
Xie Mingxi sat on the bed with a bleak look on her face, her face a little yellow, and the clear look in her eyes was gone, replaced by the gloominess unique to illness.
Concubine Mei herself was a weak person who had been recuperating from illness all year round, so she was particularly good at pretending to be sick.
Seeing Xie Mingxi's expression, Mei Taifei understood. She held Xie Mingxi's hand and sighed: "Queen, I know you are unhappy."
"Yesterday at the Queen Mother's birthday party, the ladies came into the palace to celebrate the Queen Mother's birthday. Everyone was accompanied by young girls who were as beautiful as flowers. Not to mention you, even I didn't feel comfortable watching it."
"The period of national mourning has not yet passed, and the Queen Mother is still thinking about choosing a concubine for the Emperor. This is clearly intended to irritate you and instigate a wedge between the Emperor and you as husband and wife."
"Fortunately, the Emperor was not dazzled by those beauties and stood by your side wholeheartedly. You are not at a disadvantage, but the Queen Mother is so angry that her face changed."
"It's better that you are 'sick' at this time, so as not to continue the confrontation with the Queen Mother. After all, the Queen Mother has the advantage of status. You have won once, so you will give in a little bit."
To be able to survive in the palace for a long time, Mrs. Mei is definitely not a fool.
Xie Mingxi followed Concubine Mei's words and said, "What Concubine Mother said makes sense."
Concubine Mei and Xie Mingxi have always maintained a relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, neither far nor close, neither cold nor hot. This was the first time they had such a heart-to-heart talk. It also invisibly brought them closer to each other.
Concubine Mei patted the back of Xie Mingxi's hand happily: "It's good that you have an idea." After a pause, she lowered her voice and said: "Let A Luo stay in Shu and never return to Beijing."
It would be best to stay there for ten or eight years, until Empress Dowager Yu closes her eyes and returns to the west before coming back.
Mrs. Mei's thoughts were clearly written in her eyes.
Xie Mingxi had no intention of keeping A Luo away from her. She said calmly: "I will bring A Luo back in half a year at most."
Within half a year, she will completely defeat Empress Dowager Yu and make her unable to stand up again.
Concubine Mei was frightened when she heard this: "Half a year? What are you and Hong'er planning to do?"
Xie Mingxi twitched the corner of her mouth, but there was no smile in her eyes: "Concubine, there is no need to ask more questions. Just rest assured and take care of yourself in Hanxiang Palace."
Mrs. Mei: "..."
Concubine Mei has never been a person with strong means and sharp temperament. Otherwise, she would not have been under house arrest in Hanxiang Palace for so many years.
Facing her powerful daughter-in-law, Mrs. Mei had no choice but to continue to be patient and give in: "That's all, since you have your own opinions, I won't say anything."
After chatting for a while, Mrs. Mei left sadly.
Of course Xie Mingxi knew that Mrs. Mei was unhappy. However, there were some things that the cautious and timid Mrs. Mei should not know at all.
She pretended to be sick and gave in in order to confuse Queen Mother Yu.
When Queen Mother Yu keeps her promise and lets her master return to Prince Shu's Mansion, that's when she will take action against Queen Mother Yu!
…
Due to Xie Mingxi's illness, all the concubines in the palace sent people to visit. Xiao Yuhan also came to visit in person. Xie Mingxi looked weak and ill. No matter what everyone was thinking, her face showed concern in a cooperative manner.
color.
It was as if Xie Mingxi was really sick.
The most anxious person is Empress Dowager Li of Cining Palace.
Empress Dowager Li's health gradually improved, and with the help of the palace maid, she was able to slowly walk around the Cining Palace. Her energy and energy were much better than before, and she could also speak intermittently.
The only shortcoming is that Empress Dowager Li's facial expression is very stiff. It is as if she is frozen, and her emotions, anger, sorrow, and joy all look the same.
This Xie Mingxi! Why did she suddenly become "sick" when she was so powerful? Without Xie Mingxi standing in front of her, what would happen if Empress Dowager Yu tried to torment her again?
Empress Dowager Li cursed Empress Dowager Yu hundreds of times in her heart, and also cursed Xie Mingxi dozens of times.
Every day when Empress Dowager Yu greeted her, Empress Dowager Li would be frightened. In private, she sent people to Fulin Palace to visit her three times a day, not to mention how "loving" she was.
Unfortunately, Xie Mingxi turned a blind eye to Empress Dowager Li's urging and continued to stay in Fulin Palace to recuperate.
Fortunately, Empress Dowager Yu had been in a good mood for several days and had no intention of teasing Empress Dowager Li any more. Empress Dowager Li had been trembling with fear for half a month, but she finally felt relieved when she saw that there was no movement around her.
…
Prince Shu's Mansion.
Yan Zhenzhen was in charge of the inner palace of Prince Shu, taking care of all the chores in the palace in an orderly manner. She also took time out to teach four children how to read.
Qin Sihun's belly was getting bigger day by day, and she was lethargic every day. She had no energy to control the naughty and energetic little Bao'er, so she ordered her to be sent to the Prince of Shu's Mansion. Plus A Luo's two companions, a total of
Six children.
Yan Zhenzhen reorganized the study room, placed six sets of tables and chairs in the study room, and added a large lecture table. She started to act as a master in a decent manner and enlightened the children in reading.
Among the children, the oldest is Sister Yan, the youngest is Sister Qing, the most well-behaved and obedient is Sister Yun, the most noisy is Xiao Bao'er, and the quietest and studious one is Brother You...
As for Ah Luo, once she studied, she showed the talent and intelligence she inherited from her mother. She has a photographic memory and can draw inferences from one instance to another. Even You Geer was a little behind.
Moreover, A Luo also showed a strong interest in practicing martial arts and archery.
Yan Zhenzhen, who had little skills as a three-legged cat, was too embarrassed to serve as a martial arts master at the same time. She simply invited the most famous female master in Shu to come into the house and teach the children how to practice martial arts and archery.
Lin Weiwei was worried day and night. In just over two months, she had lost a lot of weight and was truly as slender as a willow.
Five days ago, Lin Weiwei received a letter from Xie Mingxi.
Xie Mingxi's letter was very concise, and Queen Mother Yu had already nodded and agreed to let Chief Gu go. When Chief Gu returned home, Lin Weiwei immediately sent a letter to the palace.
After Lin Weiwei read the letter, she was not completely relieved and happy, but instead cast a shadow.
On what terms did Xie Mingxi pay for Gu Shanchang's life?
A maid walked over quickly and reported in a low voice: "There is a carriage parked at the back door of Prince Shu's Mansion. There are more than ten strong and strong guards outside the carriage. They say that they can only let Grandma Lu go there in person.
