Chapter 52

Eunuch Sun shouted sharply: "Presumptuous, how dare you be so arrogant in front of the Empress Dowager in Shou'an Palace?"

Mrs. Linglong was furious when she saw a eunuch dare to scold her, "What is your identity? How dare you yell at me."

Concubine Mei didn't expect Mrs. Linglong to be so ignorant, she was really annoyed, now that she was caught in this muddy water, it was really a thousand mistakes.

The empress dowager looked furious, and when she was about to explode, she glanced at Concubine Mei, then held back, and said sharply: "Come on, Mr. Xiang and this ignorant lady, please go out. There will be no permission from the Ai family in the future. You are not allowed to step into the palace gate."

Mrs. Linglong panicked now, she quickly knelt down and kowtowed, "Forgive me, Empress Dowager, this concubine was just a slip of the tongue..."

"Whether it's a slip of the tongue or it's just like this, the Ai family doesn't want to know, and the Ai family doesn't bother to deal with you like this. The matter of regretting the marriage, for the sake of Zi'an's meritorious service, the Ai family will not pursue it, you go out of the palace." The empress dowager said directly An order to evict guests was issued.

Mrs. Linglong wanted to say something, but Prime Minister Xia grabbed her. Seeing her violent face, she felt disgusted in his heart, "Shut up, don't you think it's embarrassing enough?"

Mrs. Linglong was stunned immediately, since she entered the gate of Xiangfu, he had never spoken to her so loudly.

Prime Minister Xia bowed with a pale face and said, "Empress Dowager, I will take my leave!"

Since the Empress Dowager did not pursue the matter of regretting the marriage, he didn't want to entangle too much, he just wanted to leave quickly, lest Linglong, a stupid woman, say something wrong and make the Empress Dowager furious.

Before Prime Minister Xia left, he glanced at Zi'an complicatedly, and Zi'an looked at him without fear. Everyone present saw the gunpowder smoke that the eyes of father and daughter intertwined in the air.

The queen frowned, thinking in her heart that she might not be able to let Xia Zian leave the palace so quickly. Although she has excellent medical skills, how could she defeat the scheming Prime Minister Xia and the old lady?

In particular, the two of them had officially turned against each other now, and this prime minister's mansion might not be able to accommodate Xia Zi'an anymore.

Thinking of this, she winked at Nanny Yang and moved a finger. Nanny Yang understood and bowed out.

Murong Jie saw it in his eyes, and a smile slowly appeared on the corners of his lips, Madam Linglong will have a good meal now.

The Empress Dowager looked at Concubine Mei, and said with a stern face: "Your thoughts are clearly seen by Aijia, before the tail is exposed, hide it quickly, Aijia doesn't want to see it again."

Just now she endured it for the sake of the third prince's face. In two or three years, the third prince will be crowned king, and she didn't want outsiders to think that his mother and concubine are useless at this time.

Concubine Mei's face turned pale, "The concubine doesn't have any careful thoughts, the queen mother should not misunderstand the concubine, the concubine was also misled about today's matter, but the concubine will keep in mind in the future, it is not the concubine's business, the concubine does not care about it. I'll take care of it."

The empress dowager said coldly: "Educate the third prince well, educate him well, and you will be blessed in the future. He is the son of the emperor and the grandson of the Ai family. No one will wrong him. If you are a mother If you don’t know how to cherish blessings for him, then you will definitely harm him in the future, Aijia will never allow such a thing to happen, don’t blame Aijia for saying it first.”

Concubine Mei lowered her head, knowing that it would be useless to justify, and the Empress Dowager would no longer believe her words, so she lowered her head and said in a muffled voice: "I know now, I will leave!"

Concubine Mei glanced at Zi'an before leaving. He really couldn't understand why the regent would be willing to marry a woman like Zi'an. She knew that there was another thorn in the way she planned for her son, and Xia Zi'an was not easy to deal with.

After Concubine Mei left, the empress dowager sighed softly, "How long has it been since the emperor fell ill? These people's thoughts are revealed. It's only because the prince is too mediocre. The civil and military ministers have their own ideas, so they push A concubine who has a prince, everyone wants to be a minister of the mountain, it's time for the empress to discipline the prince, otherwise the position of the prince will be taken away at some point, you, the queen, cry!"

What the empress dowager said today was very harsh, she didn't give the empress and Concubine Mei any favors in front of Murong Jie and Xia Zian.

Concubine Mei left with resentment in her heart, but the queen understood the truth of what the empress dowager said. The prince is too mediocre, and there are not many people in the court who are optimistic about him, so what happened to Concubine Mei today.

The queen said with a restrained voice: "The mother's words are reasonable, and the concubine knows what to do."

After the empress dowager finished talking about the queen, she looked at Murong Jie again, and sighed softly, "Although you have the talent of an emperor, you don't have the life of an emperor. Take good care of your nephew, don't leave him helpless."

The empress dowager was talking about her nephew instead of the prince, which sounds like a mystery to Zian. Could it be that even the empress dowager is not optimistic about the prince? But now, the only person who can sit on the crown prince's seat, apart from the third prince born to Concubine Mei, is His Royal Highness King Liang.

When Murong Jie heard what the Empress Dowager said, he said jokingly: "My son doesn't have the ability to do this. We should wait for the emperor to recover before teaching the prince."

As soon as the Empress Dowager's expression changed, a layer of mist suddenly appeared in her eyes, and her voice became low and sad, "Your brother is not getting better."

Murong Jie glanced at Zi'an indifferently, "Mother, it's different now, but now there is a doctor here."

Zian looked at Murong Jie a little strangely, he seemed to want to recommend himself to the empress dowager to heal the emperor, but couldn't he be the master of this matter?

Of course she didn't want to treat the emperor, after all, the emperor had been seriously ill for a long time, and she didn't know what the disease was, she might not be sure to cure him, if the emperor died during her treatment, she would be in danger of killing herself.

She was just surprised that the Prince Regent had always acted arbitrarily on the matter of treating King Liang, insisting on her treatment, and even the Empress Dowager objected to it. If he couldn't, it proved that the Emperor had given him a lot of power.

In this way, he can decide to heal the emperor, but he was joking just now to ask the empress dowager for permission.

Zian looked at the Empress Dowager, only to see that she shook her head slightly, a little embarrassed, and then said: "Go back, Aijia is also exhausted."

This attitude surprised Zi'an even more, the Empress Dowager didn't even answer the question directly.

The queen immediately stood up and said goodbye, "The queen mother will rest first, and the concubine will go back to see Ah Xin."

The Empress Dowager looked at her, hesitated to speak, and finally waved her hand, "Go!"

The Queen's power is already at the height of the sky, and the Queen can make up her own mind about what she says, and she knew what was going on when Nanny Yang left just now.

That's okay, let the people in the Xiangfu know how powerful they are, and don't always pick soft persimmons.

Zi'an could clearly see the disappointment on Murong Jie's face. Although the smile on the corners of his lips didn't diminish by half, there was no smile in his eyes. There was even a trace of fatigue and loss.

Through today's events, Zian also feels that the Queen Mother is not as domineering as she thought before. In fact, she could have taken care of Mrs. Linglong today. After all, she is so presumptuous in this Shou'an Palace. Not at all excessive.

However, the empress dowager neutralized the relationship between the three parties like muddy mud.

Zian knew in her heart that she was not afraid of things, she was just trying her best to maintain the superficial peace of the court and even the harem.

For an old queen to do this, it can be seen that the situation in the DPRK and China is actually gradually approaching a white-hot stage.
