Cold Emperor Loves Consort Ardently - C167
Just as she was thinking this, the empress dowager was carried away by the mama. She told her, “Watch carefully, take out some stewed congee and feed it to him. Don’t be hungry, my Xu.”
“Esteemed empress dowager, don’t worry.” The mama smiled as she carried the prince away.
After it was quiet, the Empress Mother said, “Do you know why This Dowager has called you here?”
“Chenqie is stupid and slow-witted. May Esteemed Empress Dowager please give me some pointers.” I don’t know. In any case, you won’t announce my arrival. You don’t like me at all, from my family, to my people, there isn’t a single thing that entered your eyes.
If it wasn’t for you and the emperor who used me as a chess piece, you wouldn’t have turned a blind eye to him loving me so much. However, you still warned me to remember my identity, but I didn’t know that at the time.
Her Majesty looked at me and said, “This Dowager doesn’t seem to be a dull person. There really is something that requires your presence here today. Take a seat first.”
“Empress Dowager Xie.” Two ladies brought me soft chairs to sit on.
This made me more and more uneasy. I looked warily at Her Majesty, feeling a little nervous. It was mainly because I didn’t expect her to be so polite to me. She’s always been more than a mumble to me.
“If there’s anything the empress dowager needs, please step forward and instruct.”
She looked at me with her sharp eyes and let out a long sigh. “Lu Yao is a good sister of yours, but I watched as she grew up, and her personality was just too stubborn. When she decided on something, she was like a stubborn donkey, she would not walk or retreat, and when she treats others well, she would give the best of herself to others regardless of what they want. As long as they like it, she can give it to them.”
I have no objection to that. There is nothing to be said about Lu Yao’s kindness to me.
After I returned to the palace, she went around looking for medicine for me. She wanted to adjust my body, and she also collected a lot of flower petals.
“Lu Yao is still a virgin even though he has been bestowed the title of Empress.” After a pause, she said this again.
I’m not surprised that Lu Yao and the empress don’t have any feelings for each other. The two of them are rather arrogant, and neither would take the initiative to approach the other.
Her Majesty then said: “If this were to spread, wouldn’t it embarrass me greatly? Wan Yi, in this imperial harem, the emperor has always pampered you, but you have to advise him on some matters. ”
I really feel a little lucky now that this was Her Majesty’s intention.
Thus, he replied, “In reply to Esteemed Empress Dowager, the emperor returned from the northwest and no longer called chenqie to sleep with him. Today, he’s favored by the palace’s Duke Feng.”
Now, how can I persuade him? I don’t care about his affairs.
“This empress dowager also knows what you’re thinking about in your heart. I know very well what kind of twists and turns you’re playing, and calling you over here today is to let you know what to do. After all, the emperor is the emperor, not the man you people in a small household think of, and what he wants is the world.”
“Chenqie understands. If the emperor were to visit Moon Viewing Hall, chenqie would definitely advise the emperor to visit the palace more often.”
When the Empress Dowager heard this, her face revealed a praising smile.
I knew that this was what the empress dowager wanted the most. Lu Yao didn’t fight for favors nor was he favored by them. The people of the Lu family would eventually allow her to do as she pleased.
I really felt sad for the road, no wonder it felt weird to see me for days.
What’s wrong with that? We’re sisters, not people he can influence.
Lu Yao was destined to be a queen, so some things couldn’t be avoided.
The empress dowager nodded. “You know your own limits, so it’s a good thing. The empress is on good terms with you, so go and tell her more.”
“Chenqie obeys.” I feel a little sad and I don’t know what I am.
Carrying the weeping Xu to the palace, he fell asleep and let the reason and the nurse send him back to the palace before he went in.
Lu Yao was pruning the flowers in the palace, as if venting something. He cut with all his might, while the palace maids stood to one side, not daring to make a sound.
“Esteemed empress, don’t hurt yourself. Let the servants do these menial tasks.” A mama stood by the side and earnestly advised.
She said coldly, “If you have nothing to do, leave. You don’t need to wait on me.”
“Luyao.” I called out softly. Her scissors stopped cutting, sighed slightly, then looked back at me. She smiled and said, “Zhi Qiu, your face looks much better. It has really turned a lot paler. I’m sure that Feng’s balm is still useful.”
“Luyao, when you don’t want to laugh, don’t force yourself.” I sighed. “You’re very sad. Is there anything you can’t tell me?”
She dropped the scissors and sat down on the grass.
I sat down too and said softly, “I was just at Her Majesty’s palace.”
She turned around, burying her face in my shoulder. “Zhiqiu, don’t say it. I know what the empress dowager’s aunt told you. Don’t say it.”
“Don’t hold anything in your heart. The empress dowager will definitely say the same about you, won’t she?”
She nodded. “That’s right. The empress dowager wanted me to be pampered, but I think it’s like this, Zhi Qiu. How can I possibly be together with you, but …” She started to panic and bit her lips, not saying anything.
Laughing lightly, I put my hand on her shoulder and said, “Luyao, you are the empress, aren’t you? You will never be able to leave this palace. Luyao, have you woken up? ”
She still nodded her head. “I know. Hah, actually, it’s nothing much. It’s just that I’m familiar with a familiar person. About that, what’s the big deal. Anyway, he’s pretty good-looking.”
Her face was slightly flushed, her eyes somewhat shy.
I think that before I came here, Luyao actually thought it through. I really don’t know why she changed it, but I know it’s definitely not Her Majesty’s words or the interests of the family.
I think I should be happy for my good sister to figure it out, but when I laugh, it’s still so sour and powerless.
His heart felt like it was being stuffed in by a cold wind. Even though the sunlight was shining on the surface of the water, he still felt a little cold.
For this reason, he softly asked, “Empress, do we still need to eat dinner?”
“Yes.” Why not eat it? I must take care of myself, for no one else but myself.
After calmly eating dinner and drinking some nourishing sweet soup, his aunt added, “Benefactor Feng has brought in a lot of pastries. If the Empress likes them, why don’t you bring them in?”
“No need, I’ve just eaten my fill and my stomach is still full. I’ll go take a look at the little prince.”
Her Majesty had given the order to have the Emperor stay in the palace for three days in a month.
Luyao can choose not to fall in love with the emperor, but she is the empress. Her status is different now, she can have a child, but I have an inexplicable intuition. I don’t think Luyao will scoff at her whenever he talks about him like he did in the past, no longer feeling that he is holding her back.
The cold made me worry. It was not only not getting better as the imperial physician expected, but it was getting heavier. Looking at how uncomfortable he was, I couldn’t help but hug his face. “Don’t be afraid, mufei is here. Don’t cry.”
He clawed at my clothes with his small hands and cried bitterly.
I touched his forehead. It was still very hot. After thinking for a while, I said, “Let’s take this chance to see if Imperial Physician Lin is still around. I want him to come over.”
Ever since that incident, I gave him a slap in the face and didn’t announce him again.
But when I said I would let it go, it’s not right to say that I beat him up. Even though he lied to me, but like he said, he’s just a subject.
If the Emperor can forgive me, am I to blame for a physician?
“Don’t cry, don’t cry.” My heart ached from the crying.
Grasping his small hand, he takes my finger, as if he’s trying to find some warmth and safety in me.
I carried him to the outer hall and walked him around. “Look, this flower is so beautiful. Don’t cry, don’t cry. Come, let’s call the ball out to play. Ball, ball.”
I called the lazy cat, but I didn’t know where to hide to play.
“Miaomiao.” I imitated the meowing, and the little guy calmed down, but stopped and cried again.
He had no choice but to learn again. After calling out a few times, the sound of a cat could be heard.
“Jag, look, the ball is coming. Let’s touch its fur.”
Pointing at the table, Ball jumped up and lay down on his stomach to look at us.
When he saw that, he didn’t cry anymore. I secretly let out a sigh of relief and said in a low voice, “Empress, Imperial Physician Lin is here.”
“Bring him in.” I had to shake him slowly, and as soon as I didn’t, he began to sob.
Hurry up and get better. If you don’t, you’re going to grow very slowly. The jacaranda child has to learn to crawl and also have to learn to walk and talk. Rinloran entered and saluted me.
I said, “There’s no need to be so courteous, Doctor Lin. Quickly go and take a look at the little prince. The cold hasn’t been good for the past few days.”
As he approached, I noticed that he seemed much more haggard.
Perhaps it was because the sky was getting dark, so he called for the palace lights to be lit.
He showed it to the little prince and softly said, “It’s been such a long time and the fever hasn’t subsided. What have you eaten recently?”
I called my wet nurse over and asked her to answer Lin Luoshui’s question. My wet nurse said that she would eat the same as before, never changing at all.
Lin Luoshui tightly-knit his brows, then carefully examined the juan once again. “But it should be related to eating. It’s impossible for him to be in body heat for so long, and he hasn’t stepped back yet.”
I felt a chill in my heart, and the reason why I did that was due to me cleverly leading the palace maids away.
He asked Lin Luoshui with a little trepidation, “Did he eat something he shouldn’t have?”
He looked up at me, then down again, with a touch of guilt, and said quietly, “Don’t worry, it’s just body heat. Maybe the weather has changed.”
“You don’t have to hide it from me.”
“I won’t hide anything from the Empress anymore?”
Also, I’m really sorry for what happened last time. I was too impulsive at the time, so I couldn’t control myself. I felt like everyone in the world was laughing at me. I apologize, somewhat embarrassed.
“I’m fine.” He squeezed two awkward words out of his mouth.
I smiled. “Why don’t you call me back?”
He looked at me strangely, then sighed heavily. “Yun Zhiqiu, will you really forgive me?”
“I can even forgive your majesty now. You are just a subject. At that time, I was extremely angry and I didn’t want to think about it for you. Now, I feel very sorry for you.” The most important thing for a man is his face.
He suddenly let out a soft laugh, “There’s no need to be sorry, I owe you. It’s been six or seven days since the young prince has had the fever and it’s still a little strange for him to not be able to continue on. I believe that the person serving him will not dare to think too badly, so don’t worry.
“I’m really worried. I’m always afraid of making mistakes.” I sighed. “I’ve never had a child, but I don’t want to fail Lin Shangyi.”
He prescribed some medicine and told the palace maid to fry it first to see what the young prince’s reaction would be.
I poured him a cup of tea and said, “I think we’ll have to wait for some time. Well, the jac will soon recover, and the jac won’t look good, but the mufei will always be by your side. Don’t be afraid.”
“You use your beloved child very much.” “Sometimes,” he said with a sigh, “it’s too sentimental. It’s a distraction in the palace.”
“Look at how cute he is, how can you not take good care of him? Right, Rinloran, have you eaten dinner yet? Don’t be polite with me, you still need some time to fry the medicine.”
“Nope.” He said it quite honestly.
I couldn’t help but laugh, and some of the knots in my heart eased a little, so I sent the maid to prepare the meal. He sat down at another small table and went to eat.
“Empress, the ball has caught your scented cream again.” His aunt said helplessly, “It’s a good big box, let’s catch it and play around.”
“This ball is so smelly. It is very nice to catch it when it smells good.” I didn’t take it to heart. I stood up to get some pastries to feed him, then accidentally hooked my sleeve and touched the teacup on the table. The tea spilled all over the white tablecloth.
“I was really careless. For the sake of aunt, let the palace maids clean this place up. “Ball, no water.”
The smelly paw tugged at the tea, as if it was curious about something.
Just as the palace maid was about to come to clean up, Lin Luoshui coldly said, “Wait, don’t move.”
His expression changed as he stared coldly at the tea on the table, as if he wanted to see something.
I asked in surprise, “What’s wrong with you?”
“Poisonous.”
The word slipped out of his lips and stunned me.
The golden tea flowed down the tablecloth and splashed onto the floor.
I poured this tea for him just now. I had some too. How did it become poisonous? But he didn’t seem to be joking. He looked at them very seriously. His sharp eyes were trying to see through every drop of tea.
I felt a chill in my heart, and held on to the jacaranda so tightly that I couldn’t even stand up.
He pulled me away from the tea and the ball jumped out of the water.
I stammered, “Yes… Yes… “Really?”
He nodded fearfully. “I’m sure, you see.”
He pointed at a part of the tablecloth. That snow-white square was overflowing with tea. However, it was not the golden color of the tea stains. Rather, it was a pitch-black color. It was extremely shocking.
