Fast-wearing female supporting roles: the villain is pretending to be pitiful again

Chapter 2181 Aijia really just wants to raise an old man (23)

If he said this, then he really didn't think there was anything wrong.

Since the Empress Dowager began to feel unwell a few months ago, she really didn't care as much about the emperor as before.

But isn't it because the empress dowager is not in good health and lacks energy?
The emperor himself should understand this matter.

Eunuch Wu said cautiously: "The empress dowager has been in a bad mood these days, and her energy has been low. She may have neglected you, the emperor, but the empress dowager has the best heart for you."

Ling Yichen gave him a slightly bored look, "I know these things, so I don't need you to say more, I mean today."

Eunuch Wu endured so much that he didn't raise his hand to wipe his sweat.

As the years got older, the majesty of the emperor became stronger, and sometimes just a look could make people's hearts tremble.

After deliberating for a while, he said carefully again, "Today, the Empress Dowager is probably busy writing the method of finding underground water, and she didn't see the emperor because she was afraid of being distracted. The emperor doesn't need to think about it."

Ling Yichen pondered for a moment, but still felt something was wrong.

"Don't you think that my mother has become a little estranged from me recently?"

Although as he got older, since he was 12 years old, he and his mother have not been as close as before, and he has never acted coquettishly or willfully noisy in front of his mother. Then have a meal together when you have time.

But in the recent period, they spent very little time alone, and most of the time was rejected by the queen mother on the grounds that she was unwell and was afraid of passing on her illness to him.

She also asked him not to come to pay his respects every day.

He also once wondered if she knew something, but when she faced him occasionally, she acted very naturally, as if she had discovered something.

Could it be... In the past three years, he has become more and more busy, and he has not been as close to her as before, so he was negligent, and he didn't even know when she changed her temper?

Ling Yichen couldn't figure out whether he had been negligent for too long, or because of other reasons.

But he is very clear about one thing, there seems to be an invisible wall between him and the queen mother.

Seeing that the emperor seemed to be very troubled, Eunuch Wu hesitated, "Could it be... because the emperor is getting old now and is about to get married and have children, and the empress dowager wants to avoid suspicion, so she has been estranged from the emperor in recent days? "

Even though the empress dowager is the emperor's aunt, the emperor and the empress dowager are not biological mother and son after all. Now that the emperor is about to get married, it is right to avoid suspicion.

What's more, even if it is a mother and son, at the age of the emperor, it is very necessary to avoid suspicion.

"According to my servant, the empress dowager cares about you a little bit. It is said that a few days ago, the empress dowager made a special portrait of a noble lady in Beijing to choose a virtuous and talented person for the emperor during the draft. A queen who is both gentle and virtuous."

Eunuch Wu sensibly did not mention that the Empress Dowager tried her best to find a solution because she was worried that the emperor was anxious about the drought in the north.

Now that the emperor is getting older and has more capable people around him, he doesn't like listening to others pointing fingers. Even if the empress dowager is kind, the emperor doesn't think so.

Although I don't know what happened, but in the past three months, the Empress Dowager has been in a situation of gradually retreating.

This is a signal.

Anyone with a smarter mind can probably see it clearly.

Although the previous emperor's decree was to wait until the emperor's crown was weak, the empress dowager could retire to the harem, but now that the emperor is so outstanding, capable and resourceful, and eager to take power, it is a wise way for the empress dowager to do so.
