Chapter 126 Begin!
The queen lowered her voice and said, "Queen Mother, you need to know who is in charge of the harem now!"
The Queen Mother sat aside and said leisurely: "Why are you so powerful now? Do you have someone to back you up? Don't forget, you are also a member of our Zhao family."
The queen snorted coldly, "Do you really think I'm from the Zhao family?"
Emperor Tianyou hurried over and said, "Empress Dowager, I have said that you are not allowed to cause trouble to the Queen."
The Queen Mother smiled faintly, "I have not caused any trouble to your precious Queen. I called her here today for tomorrow's Hundred Flowers Banquet."
Hundred Flowers Banquet? What is this old lady up to?
Emperor Tianyou had nothing to say this time. Since she still had the title of empress dowager, he could not go too far and could only agree to her first.
"In that case, the Queen Mother can find someone else to do it and there is no need to trouble the Queen." Emperor Tianyou took the Queen's hand in front of the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother saw that the Queen's fingers were trembling slightly and a smile appeared on her face. See, she was still afraid of her.
The Queen suppressed her fear and said expressionlessly, "Since the Queen Mother wants to hold a Hundred Flowers Banquet, then go ahead. There is no reason for me to disagree. But I am too busy to help you with the chores. You should find someone else."
The Queen Mother nodded. This was exactly what she wanted. She had called the Queen here just for this sentence. "Since you don't want to, I won't force you. I've been in this deep palace for a long time and need something new to pass the time. If the Queen wants to attend tomorrow's Hundred Flowers Banquet, please come. My door is always open to you."
The Queen held Emperor Tianyou's hand tightly, and Emperor Tianyou slowly rubbed the back of her hand with his thumb to comfort her, "Since the Queen Mother has made up her mind, I will take Ran'er away."
Emperor Tianyou took the empress away without waiting for her to speak. As soon as they walked out of the Xiangci Palace, the empress collapsed on Emperor Tianyou. Emperor Tianyou supported her and asked with concern: "Ran'er, how are you? I'll carry you away." After that, Emperor Tianyou picked up the empress and walked directly to the imperial study.
"Old man, I want to leave the palace." The queen leaned in his arms with tears in her eyes.
Emperor Tianyou had no choice but to ask Jiang Su to find a car and leave the palace overnight.
Outside the palace, Jun Zhuoyuan was reading a memorial in the study room when the butler knocked on the door in a hurry, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty."
Jun Zhuoyuan raised his head and rubbed his brows, "What's wrong?"
The housekeeper said anxiously, "Your Majesty, the Emperor and the Empress are here, and they are already outside the palace gate."
"What?" Why did these two people come out of the palace?
Jun Zhuoyuan put down the things in his hands and just walked into the front hall when he saw the loving couple, "Why are you here, old man?"
Emperor Tianyou snorted, "What's wrong? Can't I come to your house to take a look?"
Jun Zhuoyuan looked at the two of them meaningfully, "Is it that the inner palace is looking for my mother?"
Emperor Tianyou nodded silently.
It seems that he needs to act quickly. The inner position in the palace also played a role in the death of his mother. If it weren't for her, how could his mother have died?
Jun Zhuoyuan didn't blame anyone for this matter. He only blamed himself for being too young at the time and not being able to protect his mother. This kind of thing would never happen again. He was capable now and would definitely be able to protect everyone around him.
Jun Zhuoyuan led the two into the backyard. When Emperor Tianyou came out after comforting the queen, he saw Jun Zhuoyuan standing in the pavilion with his head raised, "Yuan'er."
"Father, why did she come to see mother tonight?" Jun Zhuoyuan looked at the bright moon in the sky.
Emperor Tianyou said solemnly, "There will be a flower viewing banquet tomorrow."
Jun Zhuoyuan said: "It seems that she has chosen the right person. Let the Queen Mother stay with me for one night. I will bring Yanyan back to the palace with her tomorrow."
Emperor Tianyou nodded and instructed: "Okay, Yuan'er, take good care of your mother. She can't sleep alone tonight."
Jun Zhuoyuan sighed. When he was young, he had seen his mother being bullied. When the empress dowager was in power, his father had a rough time in the court. The entire harem was controlled by the empress dowager, and she stuffed many of her people in, even his mother.
When my mother was young, she was the legitimate daughter of the second branch of the Zhao family. The second branch had no right to speak as the head of the first branch. My mother was also an extremely filial and well-behaved daughter. This was what they saw in her. They forced my mother into my father's harem, used her parents to restrain her, and let her stay with Emperor Tianyou to be used for other purposes.
The empress dowager at that time had the final say. My mother had a strong temper and was very uncooperative with their actions at first. So the empress dowager sent people to capture her and locked her up in a dark dungeon, torturing her day and night. After so many times, my mother couldn't stand it anymore. In the end, it was my mother who rescued her. Relying on the power of the Sun family in the previous dynasty, the empress dowager did not dare to touch my mother easily. In the end, the Sun family failed and my mother died. My father finally rose to power, but it was too late.
Since then, the stepmother has always been afraid of the queen mother. It is a fear from the bottom of her heart. She has not seen the queen mother since the queen mother lost power. The sudden summoning of the queen mother today must mean that she is going to take action, and it will start tomorrow.
The queen huddled in bed, with Bixi by her side. "Your Majesty, Bixi is here, Your Majesty..."
The queen poked her head out from under the quilt, "Bixi asked the old man to come in."
Bixi nodded quickly, "The Emperor and His Majesty are looking for you."
Emperor Tianyou followed Bixi into the house and squatted beside the Queen, "Ran'er, I'm here, don't be afraid. Our Ran'er was very brave today." Emperor Tianyou carefully pushed aside her hair, revealing her clear face.
"I know." The Queen said with a nasal voice, "I feel different tonight."
Emperor Tianyou held her hand tightly, "Then our Ran'er is really amazing."
The queen was amused by his appearance and said, "Go back, old man. I can do it myself."
Emperor Tianyou squeezed her hand and said, "Don't worry, I'll wait until you fall asleep before I leave. Go to sleep, I'll always be here. When you wake up tomorrow, Mu Nanyan will be here. Let her accompany you tomorrow."
"Nan Yan is coming?" The queen's eyes sparkled.
Emperor Tianyou nodded helplessly. What kind of aphrodisiac did Mu Nanyan give Ran'er to make Ran'er so excited? Emperor Tianyou pushed her down and hugged her in his arms, "Go to sleep, you will see her tomorrow morning."
The queen nodded, and the gloom in her heart was mostly dispelled by Mu Nanyan's name. Not long after, she fell into a deep sleep.
Emperor Tianyou hurried back to the palace in the night. It was okay for the Queen not to be there, but he had to be in the palace. In recent years, the Queen Mother's power had grown stronger and stronger and he needed to keep an eye on it.
Jun Zhuoyuan sent a letter to Mu Nanyan that night.
The next day, Mu Nanyan got up early and left the house without even saying good morning.
Without waiting for the Queen to wake up, Mu Nanyan had already taken the patient's pulse. Ting Jun Zhuoyuan told her what happened last night and also learned about the days when the Queen Mother was in power. Mu Nanyan was very worried about the Queen's health, so she came early to take the patient's pulse while she was sleeping. She was relieved to see that the pulse was stable and there was nothing wrong.
The queen saw Mu Nanyan as soon as she opened her eyes in the morning. The old man really didn't lie to her last night. Could it be that Nanyan slept here last night? This Yuan'er is really good. He kidnapped her back so quickly.
Mu Nanyan noticed that her eyes were becoming more and more strange, and she coughed lightly, "Mother, it's time to have breakfast. Yan'er hasn't had breakfast since she left the mansion."
The queen understood what she meant. It seems that Yuan'er still needs to work hard!
"Okay, mother will get up right away." The queen sat up with a smile, and Bixi stood aside waiting.
Jun Zhuoyuan was waiting in the flower hall. The table was filled with Mu Nanyan's favorite breakfast. The Queen noticed it as soon as she came in, "Yuan'er, you..." The Queen looked at the table and was hesitant to speak.
Mu Nanyan lowered her head shyly. Jun Zhuoyuan was really too ostentatious.
Jun Zhuoyuan said in a frivolous way: "Mother, do you think Yanyan has gained weight recently?"
The queen took a deliberate look at him. He had gained a lot of weight recently, and his skin was whiter than before. "Are you showing off to me?"
Jun Zhuoyuan nodded proudly, "Of course."
The queen couldn't stand his arrogance anymore and decided not to talk to him anymore. She took Mu Nanyan's hand and sat opposite him. Jun Zhuoyuan was dumbfounded at the time and kept signaling Mu Nanyan with his eyes.
After breakfast, Jun Zhuoyuan pulled Mu Nanyan into a dark place and kissed her for a long time before he felt relieved. Mu Nanyan punched Jun Zhuoyuan's chest with her fist.
The Queen sat in the carriage, looking at Mu Nanyan's red lips from being kissed, and secretly laughed in her heart, this was a kiss!!!
Mu Nanyan didn't see the queen's eyes. Her mind was full of Jun Zhuoyuan's face. Just thinking about it made her blush.
Jun Zhuoyuan entered the palace earlier than Mu Nanyan and the other two. The queen took Mu Nanyan directly into Fengyi Palace.
"Yan'er, you are finally here!" Concubine Ru came in from outside with her palace maids.
When Mu Nanyan saw her, she quickly bowed, "Empress Rufei."
Ru Fei really liked Mu Nanyan from the bottom of her heart, "Nanyan, I heard that you are going to open a medical shop outside."
Mu Nanyan nodded, "Yes, Empress Rufei's shop is called a hospital, but it's actually similar to a Chinese medicine shop."
Concubine Ru approached the Queen and said, "Sister, your daughter-in-law is really good. Not only is she a good doctor, but she also opened her own shop. Can you find one for me?"
The queen pinched her face and said, "I still don't understand your thoughts. Do you see Yuan Errang?"
Mu Nanyan was confused. What were these two people talking about?
Is this a secret signal?
The Queen saw her standing there in a daze, and said with a smile: "Look, let Yan'er hear it. Stop talking, pack up and go to Xiangci Palace."
After hearing this, Concubine Ru was stunned for a moment, "Where are you going, sister?"
The queen gritted her teeth and said, "Xiangci Palace!"
Concubine Ru didn't say anything else. It has been many years since we heard this in Xiangci Palace. It seems that the Queen Mother is going to take action.
The Queen walked in front with gritted teeth, Mu Nanyan supported her, and Concubine Ru didn't say a word all the way.
As soon as Mu Nanyan entered Xiangci Palace, she heard Murong Yue's voice, "Empress Dowager, let me help you cut your hair."
The Queen Mother had a kind face. Not bad, not bad. This was the granddaughter-in-law she wanted. Although she was not her biological grandson, it was not bad to have a granddaughter-in-law. "Okay, then Yue'er, be careful with your hands."
Murong Yue said shyly: "Thank you for your concern, Queen Mother. It is the Queen Mother who loves Yue'er."
The Queen Mother touched her head and asked, "Why, is Yue'er not having a good time at home?"
Murong Yue said with a nasal voice, "Your Majesty, I don't have any. Everyone in my family treats me very well."
The Queen Mother understood the meaning of her words and continued to ask, "Don't be afraid, Yue'er. I'm here. Just speak without worry. I want to see who dares to bully our Yue'er!"
