Surprise!!! The Regent Princess is actually a hidden boss

Chapter 116 The Queen Mother and the Empress Conspire

In Kunning Palace where the Queen was, she was listening to Aunt Song, who was serving beside her, coming to report that Concubine De had earlier added a dowry to General Chu's daughter.

"Defei and the sister Yunying have a good relationship." The queen said casually while playing with the finger gloves on her hands.

"Empress, Nanny Ning from the Queen Mother's service is here." The maid standing outside the door came in to report.

"Please come in quickly." The queen said and sat up straight.

Nanny Ning came in and bowed to the Queen and said, "I pay my respects to the Queen. The Queen Mother asked me to ask the Queen to go to Shoukang Palace."

"What's going on behind the scenes?" The Queen was puzzled. Why did the Queen Mother come to her for no reason? Was it because the Regent wanted to marry Yunying's daughter?

Thinking of this, the queen smiled. If the queen mother was of the same mind as her, things would be much easier.

Then he stood up and said, "Since the Queen Mother called me, I should hurry over. Don't let anything important delay me."

The group of people walked towards Shoukang Palace where the Queen Mother was.

After arriving at Shoukang Palace, the Queen Mother only allowed the Queen to enter.

The queen had already guessed what was going on in her heart.

"Please sit down, Queen." The Queen Mother said with a kind smile.

After thanking the Queen Mother, the Queen sat down on a chair beside her, lowering her head slightly and waiting for the Queen Mother to speak first.

The Queen Mother said slowly, "I remember that before you got married, you seemed to have a very good relationship with General Chu's wife?"

The Queen nodded and said, "My daughter-in-law and Aying grew up together. Aying's father was also the Emperor's teacher, so the three of us had a pretty good relationship. I wonder why you suddenly brought this up?"

The Queen Mother looked at her deeply and didn't speak for a long time, which made the Queen feel a little uneasy.

After a long while, the Queen Mother spoke up: "Although the Emperor is in power now, you also know that the Regent holds most of the military power in our Canglan Country, and now he is married to General Chu's daughter. Although we are in the harem, we should also help the Emperor solve his problems. What do you think, Queen?"

After hearing this, the queen did not answer immediately, but pretended to be a little embarrassed.

After a moment, she sighed and said, "Of course, your daughter-in-law is on the same page with your mother and the emperor. When you offered the regent a marriage before, he refused directly, which shows that he is really ambitious. If your daughter-in-law can help you, please ask your mother. Your daughter-in-law will definitely do it without hesitation."

When the Queen Mother heard this, a hint of appreciation flashed in her eyes, and then she said, "Since you said this, I feel relieved."

About an hour later, the Queen came out of the Queen Mother's Palace.

However, he did not return to Kunning Palace, but went directly to Huayang Palace where Concubine De was.

Defei had just woken up from a nap when she heard the Queen coming. The maid beside her hurried forward and helped her stand up, waiting for the Queen to come in.

The Queen came in and said with a smile, "The Virtuous Concubine is not feeling well to begin with. Please sit down quickly. Don't stand. I have nothing to do here today. I just came to see you."

Concubine De still bowed to the Queen and said, "Greetings, Queen."

"Hurry up and sit down. Help your master to sit down."

After Defei sat down, the Queen spoke again, "Your body is still too weak. The Emperor has loved you for so many years, how come you still don't have a..." At this point, the Queen glanced at Defei's dazed look, sighed, and stopped talking.

"It is because I am not blessed."

The queen waved her hand and said, "How could that be? If you have nothing to do, go out for a walk. It's not good to stay in the palace all the time."

"Huh? By the way, I heard a few days ago that your daughter, Ah Ying, became the disciple of Doctor Yue. Doctor Yue is an extremely powerful figure. It is said that he can revive a person as long as he is still alive."

After hearing this, Concubine De frowned slightly. She had not heard of this. Thinking about it, she and her elder sister had not seen each other for a long time.

Then she said, "I have never heard of this matter from my elder sister."

"I was also shocked when I heard it. Ah Ying's daughter is really amazing, and she has some of her charm back then. And I was thinking, Doctor Yue is so famous, even though Doctor Yue has been missing for most of the day, I'm sure Miss Chu has also learned some of his true teachings these days."

"And it just so happens that she is about to get married to the Regent. Why not use this opportunity to have her come to the palace to show you? You, Aying, and Miss Chu haven't seen each other for a long time. You can take this opportunity to get together. What do you think?"

When Concubine De heard the Queen say this, she felt that it was not that simple. A hint of gloom flashed across her eyes. She pursed her lips tightly and said softly, "I don't want to make Big Sister and Qianqian worry. Let's just forget it. Besides, I have been seen by many imperial doctors over the years, and they couldn't help me. How can a child who has just learned medical skills for a few days be able to cure me?"

The Queen's eyes drooped when she heard this, as if she was unhappy. However, remembering the purpose of her visit today, she suppressed her temper and continued to persuade: "De Fei, I actually mean more than what I just said. You also know that I have had a good relationship with A Ying since childhood. So I also want to take this opportunity to meet A Ying. I also hope that De Fei will not reject my kindness."

Having said that, Concubine De could no longer refuse, otherwise she would be ungrateful.

So she could only nod helplessly and said, "In that case, I will send someone to ask them to prepare to enter the palace in two days."

The queen showed some satisfaction when she heard this, and then she stood up and said, "Okay, in that case, I will not disturb you. You should have a good rest. Otherwise, Aying will come and see you looking so haggard in a few days, and she will be sad again."

With the help of the palace maid beside her, Concubine De stood up, bowed and saw the Queen off, then sat down.

"Empress, it's time for you to take the medicine." A palace maid walked in with a tray in her hand. The medicine on it was still steaming.

After hearing this, Concubine De's eyebrows twitched slightly, and she unconsciously clenched her teeth. Then she said, "Put it aside for now, and I will drink it when it cools down a little."

"But if your majesty's medicine gets cold, its efficacy will be reduced by half. You should take it while it's still hot."

Concubine De looked at her coldly and said, "What? Now you, a little maid, are thinking of being my master? I said you should drink it later, so you should drink it later! Leave it there!"

"I dare not." The palace maid was so frightened that her hands shook and she almost knocked over the medicine bowl.

In the past, Concubine De treated her servants very well and never lost her temper. What happened today? Why is she so abnormal?

"Qinglian, help me to the table."

After Qinglian agreed, she helped Defei to sit down at the table.

She sat on the chair for a long time without moving. I don't know how long it took before she slowly said, "Grind the ink."

After everything was ready, she began to write smoothly without any pause, and stopped after writing only a few lines.

Then he raised his hand and said, "Help me to rest on the couch. You will clean up here later and then deliver the letter to General Chu's mansion."

"Yes, I know this."

After Qinglian helped Concubine De to sit on the soft couch, she looked at the cold medicine on the table and asked, "Madam, the medicine is cold. How about I ask someone to get you a new bowl?"

"No, just bring it here."

"this..."

"Why, even you are going to disobey me?"

"I dare not. I will get it for you right away."

After Qinglian brought the bowl of cold medicine over, Concubine De picked up the bowl and drank the medicine in one gulp without even frowning, as if she was drinking plain water.

After handing over the empty bowl, he supported his cheek with his hand, looked out the window, his eyes full of loneliness.
