Chapter 173 The Queen Mother's Hysteria
Chapter 173 The Queen Mother's Hysteria
The Queen Mother just stared at Su Rutang and said, "Good boy. Tell Chang You not to blame the Royal Grandmother. She is worried about him.
The Empress Dowager knew that he was afraid of heat, and he had been afraid of heat since he was a child.
How could he bear such a big fire?" The Queen Mother's thoughts began to become confused and she started to talk nonsense.
He held Su Rutang's hand again.
"Sister, I failed to protect your child. You died to save me, and before you died, the one you were most worried about was the prince.
I swore that day that I would protect your child and let my son assist your son."
"Woooooooo..."
The Queen Mother cried very sadly.
There were footsteps coming in from outside.
The Queen came in with the old concubine, "What happened? Why did Su make the Queen Mother cry?"
Su Rutang was shocked.
The Queen is taking this opportunity to accuse her of a crime, probably because she doesn't want her to leave safely.
"Queen Mother."
The Queen Mother was tired of crying, so she hugged Su Rutang and cried, "Mom, why don't you come back to see me?"
Su Rutang: “…”
Okay, the Queen Mother has changed the scene.
The Queen and the old concubine looked at each other. What did it mean when the Queen Mother hugged Su Rutang and called her mother?
"Mom. You don't want to hit me again, do you?"
Su Rutang hurriedly coaxed the Queen Mother:
"No, no. Here is a bowl of sugar water. Do you want to try it and see if it tastes good?"
"Then feed me." A smile appeared on the empress dowager's old face, and she even acted coquettishly towards Su Rutang.
"Okay. I'll feed you."
Su Rutang took a sip of the medicine and realized that something was wrong with it.
The emperor was standing right behind.
Su Rutang had no choice but to continue feeding the Queen Mother, "Is it delicious? It's very sweet."
The Queen Mother took a sip.
He raised his hand and knocked the medicine bowl to the ground.
"It's a lie. It's bitter..."
The queen's expression changed, "Why did you spill the medicine?"
"I fed the Queen Mother half a bowl of wine earlier, so it's okay if it spilled." Su Rutang stood up and saluted the Queen. "I'll take my leave now."
"I'll take you out."
The Queen gave the old concubine a look and she stayed.
"I will chat with the Queen Mother for a while."
The Queen Mother spat, "You old thing, you look old and smelly, who wants you to talk to me?"
Done.
He looked at Su Rutang and said, "Mom, can you come and accompany me tomorrow?"
Su Rutang felt sad when he saw her pale face with a hint of hope. Who knew that the Queen Mother was ruined by her own son and daughter-in-law?
"Okay. I promise you."
"Then I'll go to sleep." After saying that, the Queen Mother turned around, leaving the old concubine with a thin back.
Su Rutang left the Cining Palace.
The queen returned to her former self.
"Su's family."
"The Queen."
"What did the Queen Mother tell you?" The Queen stared at Su Rutang with an inquiring look.
Su Rutang knew that the nanny beside the Queen Mother was a loyal person.
She immediately looked panicked, "The Queen Mother has been calling me "Mother" all the time, and she even told me about the time when I was naughty as a child and was punished. Your Majesty, I didn't mean to take advantage of the Queen Mother."
"Anything else besides this?"
Su Rutang thought for a moment and said, "No. When I arrived at the Cining Palace, the Empress Dowager was still sleeping."
“Is it the Empress Dowager’s illness…?” Su Rutang pointed to his head.
"Just pretend you know nothing and don't tell anyone that the Queen Mother is crazy."
"Yes."
Su Rutang responded.
She left the palace.
Before he got on the carriage, he was pulled into it by someone.
Sitting in the carriage was Prince Nanli Li Yun. Li Yun handed a cup of tea to Su Rutang.
"Sister, have a cup of tea to moisten your throat."
Su Rutang pushed his teacup away. "Your Highness the Crown Prince forced me to get on the carriage. Didn't he just want to invite me to drink tea?"
"Sister is so smart."
"I'm not your sister, so how can I have a brother who is a prince?" Su Rutang gently lifted the curtain of the carriage and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the carriage was heading towards Tangyuan.
"It doesn't matter if my sister doesn't recognize me."
Li Yun's eyes fell on Su Rutang's face, "I heard that Miss Shen has a good relationship with my sister. How about I marry Miss Shen?"
"You...Shen Yunying is not suitable for you."
"Sister seems to trust the Shen family. But why do I feel that Shen Zhongshu is an old fox?"
His words seemed to mean something.
Su Rutang didn't have time to investigate further.
"Mr. Zhongshu Ling is naturally not an ordinary official, but you are the crown prince of the Southern Li Kingdom, and you have as many women as you want. Why do you like Shen Yunying?"
"For my sister."
Li Yun's narrow, almond-shaped eyes flashed with a morbid possessiveness, "Sister, you will definitely thank me in the future."
Su Rutang didn't want to thank him.
"Your Highness seems to have forgotten that Princess Lisa is your biological sister."
Thinking of Lisa's remarks.
Li Yun poured out the tea in the cup with an ugly look in his eyes, "She is a princess who lives on my mother, so she is not worthy of me calling her sister anymore."
Su Rutang didn't want to be involved in Nan Liguo's affairs.
"Your Highness, why do you have to joke with me? If it weren't for you, why would Princess Lisa be so malicious towards me today." Su Rutang said this to make things difficult for Princess Lisa.
There is no reason. She is making things difficult for herself, but I still have to be polite to her.
"Sister." Li Yun lowered his head.
The carriage suddenly stopped.
"Second sister, get out of the car."
Su Buli's cold voice sounded, "I'll take you back."
"Second brother."
There was a faint smile in Su Rutang's eyes, and he was inexplicably happy.
It was so dazzling in Li Yun's eyes.
Su Rutang nodded to Li Yun, "Thank you, Your Highness, for giving me a ride."
Get out of the car.
Su Rutang got on Su Buli's horse and said, "Second brother. Why are you here?"
"I was waiting for you to leave the palace, but you were led away by someone." Su Buli snorted coldly: "There are many monsters in the capital. From now on, my second sister can't get on anyone's carriage."
"understood."
The sound fades away.
The groom asked, "Prince, are you going back?"
"Yeah." Li Yun closed his eyes with a smile on his face. "Sister, I'm really worried about you."
He recalled his childhood.
His mother hugged him and cried, "Yoona, you have a sister. A sister who is related to you by blood."
"Mother, I have many sisters."
"No. Mother only gave birth to two children, one is your sister and the other is you. Mother feels so ashamed of your sister..."
Li Yun doesn't think that the one who is related to him by blood is his sister. He likes women who are bold and intelligent. If that woman is stupid, then... she is his damn sister...
Su Rutang returned home.
Su Buli did not go in, but looked at Su Rutang tenderly while riding on his horse. "Second sister, I have something else to do. Don't be afraid of what others say. Just do whatever you want to do in the future."
"Brother, I don't take it to heart."
After Su Buli left.
Su Rutang then remembered that he had forgotten to tell him about the Queen Mother.
Back to the backyard.
Yuan Ming, who was beside Shang Yan, invited her over.
Su Rutang changed into casual clothes and wore only a crabapple flower hairpin and two flat hairpins on her head.
Fresh and refined.
Shang Yan sat in the pavilion in the yard drinking tea.
"Commander Shang."
"Sit down." Shang Yan put down the teacup in his hand. "Princess Lisa of Nanli Kingdom is vindictive. I guess she will not let you go."
"Humph. The petty tricks of the Nanli Kingdom were all caused by that prince."
"The prince's biological mother is from the Great Zhou."
After a pause, Shang Yan looked at Su Rutang. "I heard that the emperor of Nanli Kingdom met a woman while traveling around the countries, and they fell in love. I don't know why, but the woman didn't marry him."
Su Rutang looked at Shang Yan nervously.
"The girl's father did not agree with their marriage and hurriedly married her to his student."
"Are you talking about my parents?"
Su Rutang seemed to sense something.
She didn't remember much about her childhood, and when she occasionally remembered it, she remembered that her father was as gentle as jade, very kind to her mother, and very fond of Su Rutang.
If this is true...
So is there any inside story behind my father’s death?
Shang Yan sent people to investigate because he discovered that the Crown Prince of Nanli Kingdom treated Su Rutang differently.
"Rutang. What if there is a secret behind your father's death?"
"Then I will raise a group of death warriors and find ways to kill them..." The "they" Su Rutang mentioned included that man and that woman.
"When I was a child, I felt that my mother was sometimes very nice to me, and sometimes very distant."
“I didn’t understand it then.”
"Now that I think about it, she might not be willing to marry my father. But she had to marry him..." Su Rutang didn't understand why she gave birth to her with her father if she didn't agree?
"Initially, the emperor of Nanli Kingdom did not want to marry your mother."
