Chapter 123: Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace: Wei Yanwan. 43
"I couldn't believe it at first. Since I entered the palace, I have always followed the Queen's lead and never acted disrespectfully. Although I acted a little rashly, I would never force the Queen to do anything."
There was a hint of despair in Gao Xiyue's eyes. She had always thought that it was because of her poor health. It would be fine if it was just because of the Queen Mother, but... why would that person be the Queen!
She...she was so unwilling. She was unwilling to come to this world so quietly. She was unwilling to have her life's pursuit destroyed by the Queen's hands.
Hongli looked at her like this, and in the end he was considering Fu Cha Langya's face: "This item is a gift from the emperor, maybe there is some misunderstanding."
Just seeing Gao Xiyue's tearful eyes, Hongli suddenly couldn't continue.
Gao Xiyue smiled brightly, as if they had just met before. She looked at Hongli, who seemed to have no trace of gloom on his face. "I am just speculating. If Your Majesty doesn't believe me, I can do nothing about it. But I have never regretted marrying Your Majesty. Take care, Your Majesty."
As Gao Xiyue said this, she stood up and bowed to him. At this moment, Hongli really felt that the bright and arrogant girl who had once been so lively and arrogant had really left him.
Hongli stepped forward to help her up. After all, they were husband and wife. Hongli sighed and said, "I know what you are thinking. I will investigate it carefully. But the queen is the queen after all. I... have to take care of the world."
"With your words, I will die without regrets."
Hongli came out with heavy steps, holding the bracelet in his hand and handed it to Jinzhong: "Go and check the people around the queen carefully."
He looked at the gloomy sky. The snow came much later this year.
Wei Yanwan copied scriptures in the Yangxin Palace. She had nothing to do these days, so she asked Lan Cui to take them and burn them when the time comes. It would be considered as her filial piety to the empress dowager.
Chunchan brought a cup of tea over and said, "Master, you have been writing for a long time, why don't you take a break?"
She felt tired just by looking at it. The master had been standing here for half an hour and didn't feel tired at all.
"Ordinary people write to calm their minds, but you disturb me." Wei Yanwan smiled and glanced at her. Chunchan nodded and said, "I don't have the same state of mind as your master, but you have been standing for a while, why don't you sit down and write."
"Well, I didn't feel it just now, but now I feel my hands are sore."
After putting down the pen temporarily, Wei Yanwan rubbed her wrist and looked at Chunchan, "Have you taken care of everyone?"
"Don't worry, my master. The man has been infected with scabies and has been moved out by the people in the Cining Palace."
Wei Yanwan lowered her head, took a sip of tea and said to her, "Tell Jinzhong to watch carefully and don't let anything happen. When the person is well, send him out of the palace."
"Yes."
Now, even if the Queen Mother wakes up and wants to investigate again, she will find nothing.
"Greetings to the Emperor."
Lan Cui's voice came in from the doorway, and Chun Chan smiled and said to Wei Yanwan, "The emperor will definitely come to our place as soon as he returns, so go and welcome him."
Wei Yanwan smiled and glared at her, "You shameless girl."
However, she went out with a smile on her face. Wei Yanwan wiped her hands with a handkerchief and went out. Hongli just happened to arrive at the door.
"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you." Hongli stopped her from bowing and said, "What are you doing? I heard Lan Cui say you were in the study, so I came to take a look."
"I copied some scriptures and planned to ask Chunchan to take them to Baohua Palace to burn them to pray for the Queen Mother."
The two of them went in together. Hongli looked at the small stack of scriptures on the table and couldn't help but touch her hand with heartache: "Although your filial piety is evident, you should also take care of your health."
Wei Yanwan agreed with a smile, "I am just doing my part."
……
The Cining Palace was still filled with the smell of medicine. It was probably because the Empress Dowager was a little weaker. After contracting scabies, she had a fever all over her body that wouldn't go down. The imperial physician stayed here for two days before the temperature was finally brought down.
For ordinary people, scabies would take at most half a month to heal, but for the Empress Dowager, it took a full month before she was completely cured.
But even if she recovered, it was still bad enough. When Wei Yanwan went to pay her respects, she saw the empress dowager's expression and knew that she had really suffered a lot.
"Your son leads the imperial concubines to pay their respects to the Empress Dowager, and wishes her good health and long life."
The Queen Mother nodded. Although her face was powdered, one could see the fatigue and exhaustion between her eyebrows. The Queen Mother looked up and down with her sharp eyes. Behind the Queen was Wei Yanwan. She sneered and said sarcastically, "It's hard for Imperial Concubine Ling to come and see me. I only think that Imperial Concubine Ling is the boss of the harem. She doesn't even take time to look at me."
In fact, everyone knows that the root cause lies with the emperor. After all, without the emperor's order, no matter how favored Wei Yanwan is, she cannot disrespect the empress dowager.
Wei Yanwan smiled and came out to pay her respects, then said, "I knew that the Empress Dowager was ill and should have come to serve her immediately, but unfortunately I was not feeling well, so the Emperor told me to rest and not to come to the Empress Dowager, so as not to pass on my illness to her."
"I feel deeply guilty. I should have served the Queen Mother in person, but my health is not good enough. However, I copied the scriptures and enshrined them in the Baohua Palace. When the Queen Mother recovers, I will burn them immediately to pray for her."
She was very good at saving face, so even the Queen Mother couldn't say anything more to her, and could only reluctantly call her up: "I know your filial piety."
Then she saw Jin Yuyan and Ruyi. She frowned when she saw Ruyi. This matter was really strange and no one could find out what it was. They only knew that there was something wrong with the cushion that Ruyi sent.
The Queen Mother knew that someone else must have been behind this, but she really couldn't figure out who wanted to harm her. Was it the Queen? Or... was it Ruyi?
After receiving the order from the Queen Mother, Wei Yanwan stood up and sat down. Fu Cha Langya breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the Queen Mother's expression. After all, the two of them had already been in conflict, and the Queen Mother might make things even more difficult for her in the future.
Ruyi looked at Wei Yanwan's smiling face and had no idea that she was lying. If she was really sick, why did her complexion look so good, so rosy? I'm afraid there is no one in the harem who is healthier than her.
The Queen Mother coughed while holding a handkerchief over her mouth. Looking at the people below making a fuss, she waved her hand impatiently and said, "I know how filial you are. Queen, you still need to worry about Jingse's marriage. Take them all back. I need to rest for a while, so you don't need to come and pay me respects."
"Yes, thank you for your understanding, Madam."
Fu Cha Langya's eyes flashed with disgust, and then she led her people to retreat peacefully. The Queen Mother then said, "Princess Xian stay."
Fucha Langya glanced at Ruyi, then retreated with a group of concubines without any expression.
