And since the Queen took the initiative to say this to her, it was enough to show that what she said today was somewhat useful.
The establishment of trust between people is also a very magical thing.
"Empress, your body is yours after all." Xu Mingyi said softly.
The queen nodded.
Yes, your body is your own.
Others don't cherish it, but you should cherish it yourself.
"Is there any way for the empress to hide this from the maid in charge of tea?" Xu Mingyi asked.
"This is not difficult."
In the beginning, the palace maid would consciously or unconsciously keep an eye on whether she would drink the tea, but over the years, the matter never went wrong, and the other party gradually became less cautious than she was at first.
What's more, she naturally has more people in her Jade Kun Palace. If she wanted to hide it, it couldn't be easier.
"It's just this medicine that I have to take."
The queen spoke bluntly to the girl in front of her.
No matter what the consideration, she must seek safety.
"My daughter understands."
Xu Mingyi took out an exquisite porcelain bottle from his sleeve, put it on the small table, and said: "This is the anti-pregnant medicine prepared by the maid in my daughter's home. You only need to take one pill at a time. Although it will have some effects on the body,
But in comparison, it is almost negligible.”
Coupled with the maintenance prescription she sent earlier, the damage to the body can be minimized.
The queen couldn't help but look at the porcelain vase with some surprise.
This girl even prepared these things for her...
"Don't worry, Madam, I will never mention this matter to anyone else." Xu Mingyi took the initiative to promise.
The queen raised her eyes and looked at her, her voice became softer: "I have accepted this thing, and I have also remembered Miss Xu's kindness. But - I haven't asked you yet, why do you want to help me like this?"
"
Take the initiative to plan these things for her, even though you know in your heart that she may not appreciate it, and you may even be angry with her because you want to cover up your private affairs——
To put it bluntly, even if she accepts this kind offer, knowing this secret and participating in this secret is obviously not a good thing.
"Didn't the empress often say that I have a very close affinity with you?" Xu Mingyi said with a smile, "I also feel that I have a close affinity with you."
She is indeed someone who is used to weighing the pros and cons of interests, but she does not have to carefully calculate everything.
If this were the case, life would be too boring and tiring.
This simple answer made the Queen curl her lips.
He couldn't help but say: "So casual and open-minded, he looks very much like the second uncle in your family."
Xu Mingyi was slightly startled when he heard this.
I don't know if it was her misunderstanding, but she had a vague feeling that the Queen seemed to like talking about her second uncle.
After blurting out those subconscious words, the Queen seemed to realize that something was wrong, and the smile in her eyes froze briefly.
But it was only for a moment, and it soon returned to normal.
Xu Mingyi was a little confused, but she didn't hesitate to ask more questions.
I went back and asked my second uncle the same thing.
Perhaps it was because she had just shared a secret with the girl in front of her, so when they started talking next, the queen seemed to feel a little more close to Xu Mingyi.
Afraid that Xu Mingyi would feel bored staying in the palace, he took others for a walk in the Imperial Garden.
By the time we returned to Yukun Palace, it was already time for lunch.
The queen seemed to be in a very good mood, and she left Xu Mingyi to eat with her. When she was about to give instructions to the nuns around her, she saw a palace maid walking in.
"Your Majesty, the grandson of Prince Dingnan is outside asking for an audience."
The Queen couldn't help but be surprised: "A Yuan is here?"
Xu Mingyi was also very surprised.
She had been to the palace many times and would come to Yukun Palace every time, but this was the first time she met Wu Chao.
A handsome young man wearing a crow-green robe and with a cool temperament was quickly invited into the palace.
"My nephew wishes my aunt."
"No need to be polite." The queen smiled and said, "Sit down quickly."
"Thank you, aunt."
Wu Chao sat down at the side and glanced at the girl sitting next to his aunt with his peripheral vision.
As soon as he entered the hall, he knew that there was another person sitting next to his aunt, but he did not take a closer look.
This casual sweep now made him feel that something was wrong.
Wu Chao looked up.
Their eyes met, and against the backdrop of the apricot-colored silk jacket that was of excellent quality and seemed to have a soft halo, a girl with a delicate face that was made more and more white and lovely smiled at him.
Smiled.
Seeing this scene, the cold look on the young man's eyebrows suddenly disappeared.
After being stunned for a moment, he nodded to her.
"Why, do you two recognize each other?" The queen saw the clues from the side and asked curiously.
Although there were rumors in Beijing a while ago that A Yuan was in love with Miss Xu from Zhen Guo Gongfu, she specifically asked her brother and sister-in-law about it, and found out that the rumors were indeed true.
At that time, she thought her nephew was really enlightened.
"I met you on my queen's birthday." Xu Mingyi chose a relatively safe answer.
She didn't really care about that, but Wu Chao was very afraid of being misunderstood. To avoid causing trouble to him, it was not appropriate to make the two of them too familiar.
The queen nodded lightly.
That night, despite the dissuasion from her eyes, her nephew insisted on helping Miss Xu to rescue the drowning prince. How could she almost forget this?
Wu Chao glanced at Xu Mingyi and said nothing more.
The reputation of my daughter's family is important, so in order to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings, it is reasonable for Miss Xu to say this.
But for some reason, he always felt that it was a little uncomfortable to say something like this about cutting off the relationship with him.
It's clear that he is also someone who is afraid of trouble, and this feeling at the moment is undoubtedly a bit strange.
"Why did you think of coming to the palace today?"
Although they are biological aunt and nephew, she is in the harem, which is very inconvenient. Since A Yuan came to Beijing, the aunt and nephew only met a few times.
This question interrupted Wu Chao's thoughts.
"I came here today to say goodbye to my aunt."
"Are you going back to Ningyang?" the queen asked.
Wu Chao nodded.
This time, he has stayed in Beijing long enough.
Furthermore, there were still many serious matters in Ningyang that he needed to deal with back home.
He had just met the emperor and explained to him that he was going back to Ningyang.
The queen felt a little reluctant to give up.
She has been trapped in this deep palace all year round, and she rarely sees her family. But sometimes she thinks about it, her brother and sister-in-law are still in the capital after all. This is the case with family members, even if they can't see each other often, as long as they think about leaving,
Being so close makes your heart feel much more at ease.
Now that my nephew is going back to Ningyang, he inevitably feels that the day when we will see each other again will be long gone.
But he just nodded and said: "It's okay, your grandmother has not been in good health recently, so she must be thinking about you. After you return, she can feel more at ease."
Wu Chao responded "Yes".
While answering, he subconsciously looked at the girl sitting there.
The previous smile on the girl's face was gone, replaced by an indistinct emotion between her eyebrows.
Wu Chao's mind was slightly focused.
Miss Xu...could she be reluctant to let him go?
Thinking of this possibility, the young man felt his heart beat a few times.
