Chapter 338
In the Palace of Compassion and Ning, seeing her daughter running out crying, Empress Dowager Sun leaned weakly on the couch, with her right hand resting on her temple, her chest heaved, and she was obviously very angry.

The maids and servants who were serving beside him were careful not to make a sound.

Only Wang Jin, the chief eunuch, couldn't escape, bit the bullet and brought a cup of new tea to Empress Dowager Sun, comforting her in a soft voice.

"Holy Mother calm down, His Royal Highness the Eldest Princess is also in a moment of urgency. It must be the matter of today's son-in-law, which shocked His Highness. His Highness has always been filial, and will never have the intention of contradicting you."

Empress Dowager Sun opened her eyes, picked up the teacup and took a sip, the irritability in her heart dissipated a bit, she thought about it, and asked.

"Wang Jin, besides coming to the Compassionate Ning Palace, who else has Changde been close to these days?"

Empress Dowager Sun still understands her own daughter, and has never had any twists and turns.

But her performance today is obviously dissatisfied, and it is not a day or two.

The fact that Xue Heng was grounded was probably just the trigger for Changde's final performance, but the root cause was definitely not in this matter.

Wang Jin frowned and thought about it, then replied.

"His Royal Highness the eldest princess has always been quiet and doesn't interact with anyone very much. When she came to the palace these days, she not only came to pay her respects to the Holy Mother, but also went to Changchun Palace twice to visit His Royal Highness, and then went to Yikun Palace to accompany her. Let Empress Duanjing talk to relieve boredom, and the rest is nothing."

Changchun Palace is the residence of the crown prince's birth mother, Concubine Zhou. Originally, the Empress Dowager Sun wanted to keep Zhu Jianshen in her palace.

But she couldn't stand Zhou's repeated crying, and the situation had stabilized, so it was not suitable for Zhu Jianshen to stay with her because of the people coming and going at the Palace of Compassion and Peace.

Therefore, a few days ago, she sent Zhu Jianshen back to the Changchun Palace, and continued to be raised by the Zhou family.

As for Yikun Palace, it was the residence of Empress Duanjing Qian. Since the new emperor came to the throne, her sister-in-law was no longer suitable to live in Kunning Palace, but moved to live in Yikun Palace.

Zhou's side, there should be no problem.

Although the Empress Dowager Sun sent Zhu Jianshen back, because she was worried about this precious grandson, she specially allocated a lot of people to serve her personally. If there was any news, she would not miss it.

On the side of Yikun Palace, she didn't pay much attention.

So, Empress Dowager Sun continued to ask, "What's the latest news from Qian's side?"

Hearing the Queen Mother Sun asked about this, Wang Jin sighed, looking a little embarrassed, and said.

"Empress Duanjing is still the same as before. She enshrines a Buddha statue in the palace and prays for the Supreme Emperor every day, day and night."

"A few days ago, the imperial doctor came to report, saying that because of kneeling for a long time, the cold air entered the body, the right leg of the empress has been unable to move, the liver qi is stagnant, the mind is not smooth, and the left eye is also blurred."

"what?"

Empress Dowager Sun immediately sat up, with a dangerous gleam in her eyes, she shouted in a low voice: "Why didn't you talk about such a big matter earlier?"

Although she doesn't like Qian's cowardly temperament, she still approves of Qian's feelings for Zhu Qizhen.

Now that she heard that Qian's body was so sick, how could she not be in a hurry?
Wang Jin was so frightened that she immediately fell to her knees and said.

"The Holy Mother's forgiveness is not because the servants deceived you, but because Empress Duanjing didn't let it go out, let alone report it to you, saying that she was afraid that you would worry."

"The imperial doctor has used all the medicines that should be used, but the empress is not at ease, and she stays in front of the Buddha statue day and night, and the servants have nothing to do."

Empress Dowager Sun felt complicated for a while, thought for a while, stood up from the couch, took two steps forward, stopped again, stood there for a while, let out a soft sigh, and sat back to the distance.

This result, she should have expected.

Qian Shi was the empress personally selected for Zhu Qizhen before Empress Dowager Zhang died.

To be honest, Empress Dowager Sun didn't like this daughter-in-law and thought she was too cowardly.

But unexpectedly, she looks weak, but she is actually tough. This friendship alone is enough for the Queen Mother to recognize this daughter-in-law.

Leaning on the soft couch, Empress Dowager Sun waved her hands weakly and said.

"If you order someone to send some high-quality medicinal materials, Aijia won't go to see her."

Wang Jin responded, and was about to step back when she heard Empress Dowager Sun's voice again.

"Continue to investigate, Qian's temperament is not the type of gossip, but there is no trouble, send a letter, let the outside of the palace also investigate, to see which family is closest to the princess mansion recently, the Ai family wants to see, who is there Talk nonsense in front of Changde!"

This time, Wang Jin did not leave in a hurry, but asked a little embarrassedly.

"Holy Mother, it's not difficult in the palace, but outside the palace..."

Empress Dowager Sun understood when he saw him hesitating.

Ever since Jin Ying was sent to Nanjing, communication inside and outside the palace has been inconvenient. Because of this, she had to ask Princess Changde to be in charge of communicating inside and outside the palace.

But now, it is Changde herself who needs to be investigated, how can she continue to ask her to spread the word.

After figuring this out, Empress Dowager Sun couldn't help but feel a little headache.

"Forget it, it's not a problem if it goes on like this. Changde's temperament should not be involved too deeply. From now on, don't ask her to spread the word."

Wang Jin nodded, and asked cautiously: "After that, contact outside the palace?"

After pondering for a moment, Empress Dowager Sun rubbed her forehead, sighed, and said, "write the letter, seal it and ask Changde to take it out. If there is any news over there, write a letter and bring it in. Don't let Changde know the specific news." gone."

The servants of the Compassionate Ning Palace retreated one after another, but the Empress Dowager Sun was still quite restless.

Although she was very firm in front of Princess Changde just now, in fact, she still had some hesitation in her heart.

Although Princess Changde's words were a bit naive, they were not completely unreasonable.

Empress Dowager Sun did not question the loyalty of the British government. Their bond with Zhu Qizhen was too deep. Even if they wanted to change their families, the new emperor would not accept them. There was no doubt about it.

But ask yourself.

Today's Zhu Qizhen is no longer the emperor of Ming Dynasty, but only a titular emperor, and he is not yet in the capital.

The British government will indeed not betray Zhu Qizhen.

But, will they still regard Zhu Qizhen as their master sincerely like before the Civil War?
Empress Dowager Sun is not an ignorant woman who has never read a book.

She still knows the story of Han Xiandi and Cao Cao.

Even if you look closer, the allusion of the yellow robe adding to the body is widely circulated.

You know, in the past, when Zhu Qizhen was still the emperor, the British government had eight guts, but they didn't dare to make a fuss about Huichangbo Mansion.

But now, what Princess Changde said is ugly, but is it not the truth?

Uncle Huichang's mansion is the mother family of Empress Dowager Sun, and she feels most uncomfortable about this matter.

But now, what can be done?
The last thing Tianjia can talk about is family affection.

Especially after seeing Zhu Qiyu's methods, Empress Dowager Sun dared not entrust the lives of her mother and child on Zhu Qiyu's thoughts.

So even if she knew that the British government was turning against customers, she could only accept the four words, involuntary, which were vividly reflected at this moment.

Standing up and coming to the window, Empress Dowager Sun looked at the gradually darkening sky, her gaze was far away, condensed with unresolved melancholy...
