Chapter 45 The Empress Dowager Takes a Rest!
"This Nalan Yaoyao is really arrogant..." The current queen mother's anger came from the Cining Palace, and the cup in her hand was thrown to the ground by her. The palace maid standing beside her hurriedly knelt on the ground and picked up the fragments.
Eunuch Li, who was standing aside, had a heartbeat and hurriedly smiled with her, "Empress Dowager, don't be angry. What should I do if I get angry?"
"Hmph... Even if the Ai family is dead, no one will pay attention to it!" The empress dowager snorted coldly. Eunuch Li was so scared that he knelt on the ground, "Empress Dowager, you can't do this! The servants are panicked..." As he said that, he started to cry.
The Empress Dowager sighed in her heart as she looked at the appearance of Eunuch Li, "What kind of evil did the Ai family do?"
"Empress Dowager, the emperor is young and energetic, and it is inevitable that he will not do anything in a good way..." Eunuch Li laughed and persuaded. When the empress dowager heard this, she snorted coldly, "I don't understand this, what's wrong with Yun'er? My son is both in family background, appearance, and talent. Why is my son unwilling to do it?" The more the empress dowager thought about it, he felt that he couldn't understand it thoroughly. I don't know what was wrong with this problem in the middle that he resisted so much.
"The Emperor is here..." Eunuch Li wanted to persuade the Empress Dowager, but was suddenly interrupted by the voices outside, and hurriedly knelt down to welcome the Emperor.
"My son, please pay my respects to my mother..." Feng Qingcheng walked in and looked at the empress dowager sitting at the upper seat and saluted her. The empress dowager was still angry with him and did not show any good expressions. She just looked at Feng Qingcheng coldly, "Isn't the emperor a busy day? Why are you free to come to the Cining Palace of Ai's family today?" The tone was ridiculous, and the fools could hear it. Eunuch Li and the nanny kneeling on the ground, and the palace maids were all shocked and sweated.
Feng Qingcheng could hear it, but she just smiled gently and sat in the seat next to her. "I am indeed very busy, but thanks to my mother's good daughter-in-law who is reasonable. She advised me that no matter how busy I was, I had to come to visit my mother, so as not to think that I had a wife and forgot my mother's dissatisfaction..." When everyone heard this, they were sweating coldly. Is this a normal mother-son dialogue? Why do you feel that the emperor came to provoke? Isn't it?
"Daughter-in-law?" The empress dowager did not laugh, but instead snorted coldly, "Your Majesty has made a mistake? The Ai family does not have such an unknown daughter-in-law. Even if it is only Yun'er from Duan's Mansion..."
"I think since the Empress Dowager likes Yun'er so much, there are still twelve emperor brothers below. Let's keep it for him..." Feng Qingcheng said with a huge pound of pounds. That indifferent tone really made the Empress Dowager angry. The Empress Dowager stared at Feng Qingcheng hard, "What are the confused words of the emperor? Twelve is only twelve this year, and Yun'er is already sixteen. The two are apart in age, but they are really unworthy. They are very good at matching with the Emperor, so it's better for the Emperor to marry Yun'er..."
"I only have the position of Empress Yao'er, and everyone else has to stand aside!" Feng Qingcheng looked at the Empress Dowager and smiled evilly. "If you, the Empress Dowager, really like it, why don't you marry me?"
"Bastard..." When the empress dowager heard this, she slapped the table so angry that she slapped her palms. She just stared at Feng Qingcheng with her eyes. "What the emperor said is really too unconsider. The Ai family is a woman, how can you marry? Are you humiliating the Ai family and Yun'er?"
"The Empress Dowager calms down. I don't mean that. I just don't understand why the Empress Dowager insists on letting me marry that Yun'er? Do I have to rely on Duan's mansion to settle down today?" When Feng Qingcheng said this, the temperature of his eyes had dropped to the lowest level, and he looked at the Empress Dowager coldly, "I am so unbearable in the Empress Dowager's eyes?"
When the empress dowager heard this, she relieved her emotions and looked at Feng Qingcheng, "The Emperor blamed the Ai family wrongly! The Ai family just felt that you had just ascended the throne, and the ministers in the court were unstable. It would be better to find some daughters of ministers to win over the hearts of the people. In this way, the situation in the court became much more stable, and the ministers naturally devoted themselves to loyalty..." The empress dowager paused when she said this, "This method was used by emperors of all dynasties. Why did the emperor rebound so much?"
"I appreciate the kindness of the Queen Mother. But I don't want to do these things..." Feng Qingcheng bounced the invisible dust on his body. "I'm here to tell the Queen Mother. Whether you want it or not, the Queen Yao'er is determined!"
"You..." The Empress Dowager narrowed her eyes when she heard this, and her eyes were now looking at Feng Qingcheng with anger. "Is the Emperor going to go against the Ai family?"
Feng Qingcheng smiled and looked at the Empress Dowager, "My mother is saying this seriously. How can I go against you? I will serve you with delicious food and drink..." Speaking of this, Feng Qingcheng stood up. "The Empress Dowager is in good health for a while and no one is allowed to visit him during her recuperation. The palace maids and eunuchs in the Cining Palace are not allowed to enter and exit without permission. Violators will be killed!" As soon as Feng Qingcheng finished speaking, many guards rushed out of the gate of the Cining Palace. The leader watched the emperor kneel to him, "The chief guard Zuo Qing bowed to the emperor..."
"When the Empress Dowager is recuperating, you must pay attention to the Cining Palace. No one must disturb the Empress Dowager's understanding of purity?"
"I obey the order..." After Zuo Qing received the oral order, he took his subordinates to assign work.
The empress dowager sitting in the upper seat was so angry that she trembled all over, "Okay, Your Majesty. Are you planning to put Ai's house under house arrest, aren't you?"
After hearing the Queen Mother’s accusation, Feng Qingcheng remained unchanged, "My mother is confused. I just asked you to recuperate well in the palace so that some people would always disturb your rest and delay your sick body. When the Queen Mother recovers from illness, these people will naturally be removed..."
"Your Majesty, you don't have to be hypocritical. Wouldn't you know if the Ai family is sick? Now that you have placed a house arrest in this palace, aren't you afraid of being called unfilial by the people in the world?" The empress dowager trembled all over.
"I don't worry about this. When I do this today, the ministers and the people in the court can only praise me as a filial son. As for those who can spread slander me, they are just seeking death..." Feng Qingcheng narrowed his eyes slightly when he said this, and looked at Zhu Xi, the close maid behind the empress dowager. Zhu Xi was so scared that he shook his whole body and lowered his head to minimize his visibility.
"My mother, you are recuperating now. I think you should hand over the phoenix seal as soon as possible. Anyway, I have to give it to my daughter-in-law sooner or later, right? Why not just hand it over now..."
"The Ai family will never recognize that Nalan Yaoyao's fox charmer. Fengxi's Ai family will not hand over it. If the emperor really wants it, then search..." The empress dowager was so angry that her heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys were hurt. Well, the son she raised was so old, she was so disobedient to him. I really regretted that he was the emperor at the beginning, and if Ling'er had not suffered such grievances now, she felt even more frustrated in her heart...
Feng Qingcheng stood there and looked at the empress dowager's expression of regret on her face. There was no need to guess what she was thinking in her heart at this moment. Feng Qingcheng's lips sneered at the corner of her mouth and said, "Why are you still standing there? The empress dowager said that you asked you to search it, but you still haven't searched it?"
"Yes..." Wuya heard it and disappeared. When the queen mother looked at Feng Qingcheng with disbelief, she stared at Feng Qingcheng with disbelief. Before she finished speaking, she fainted when she turned her eyes.
"Empress Dowager, Empress Dowager..." Zhuxi and Eunuch Li behind him hurriedly stepped forward to support him. Zhuxi looked at Feng Qingcheng anxiously. "Empress Dowager, I beg you to treat the empress dowager with a doctor! The empress dowager is not safe and is not good to the emperor..."
"Bai Zhi, go..." Feng Qingcheng did not look at Zhu Xi, but just sat on the chair beside him and ordered Bai Zhi behind him. Bai Zhi curled her lips in her heart, feeling that she didn't want to treat the old witch. With her vicious heart, she should happily set off firecrackers to celebrate after she was gone? But since the emperor gave the order, she had to go through the motions. She walked over with a cold face, took out the slap on the empress dowager's wrist, and put her hand on.
Take the pulse. On this number, Bai Zhi's eyelids twitched a few times, then she looked at the empress dowager who fainted in Zhuxi's arms and stood up, wiped her hand with the veil placed on the empress dowager's hand and threw it on the ground. "Back to the emperor, the empress dowager is full of liver fire. When I go back and prescribe a few medicines, I will drink seven or eight times a day and I will be almost cured!" The old witch, I'm dying. I'll treat you well once, and I'll give you a handful of coptis chinensis to death...
What a smart person Feng Qingcheng is? After hearing what Bai Zhi said, he quickly understood what it meant. The corners of his lips bent, and he glanced at the Queen Mother and said to Zhu Xi and Eunuch Li, "You two unopposed slaves, the Queen Mother fainted. Why don't you help me back and lie down? If there is anything wrong with the Queen Mother during this period, be careful of your head..."
"Yes, yes, yes, slaves (members) obey the order..." Zhuxi and Eunuch Li hurriedly helped the empress dowager to the inner room reasonably. Wuya also walked out, holding the Fengxi hidden by the empress dowager in his hand. Feng Qingcheng took Fengxi carefully and saw that it was true. Then he showed a smile and took Wuya and Bai Zhi back home.
The empress dowager who was helped back to the inner room suddenly opened her eyes and stared at the ceiling with fierce eyes. Zhuxi and Eunuch Li were so scared that they knelt on the ground.
"Zhuxi, use my sign to recruit the Iron Cavalry Guards. Ai's family wants to see Nalan Yaoyao die tragically in Jingren Palace..." When the empress dowager said this, the cold tone made Zhuxi and Eunuch Li fight fiercely.
Seeing that the empress dowager was furious at the moment, Zhuxi and Eunuch Li were not brave enough to persuade him. They had to take the sign, Zhuxi hid it on his body and then retreated. At the moment, the guards who were patted by the emperor were watching him, and it was probably not feasible to walk through the main gate. Fortunately, there was a secret passage in the Cining Palace that could lead to the outside of the palace. In this case, the emperor did not notice it. After Zhuxi returned to his room, he changed into an ordinary civilian dress and went to the secret passage to find the Iron Cavalry Guard.
