Bai Yueguang, the stand-in for Prince Sick Jiao

Chapter 280 Exposure
Ling Youyao blushed a lot from her, turned her head away unnaturally, and muttered to herself: "He doesn't know how to hurt people at all."

Fu Yunchuo stopped teasing her, and said: "It's getting late, don't you still want to see the queen? It just so happens that the painting that Chen'er gave me last time has been changed, let's go there together."

"it is good."

The two left Yanfu Palace together.

Back then Ling Youyao left the palace before saying goodbye to the empress, but today she found the opportunity to enter the palace while visiting the empress dowager.

Since the empress had a miscarriage, Fengyi Palace has become much quieter, and even the concubines did not pay their respects on weekdays, only saying that they were afraid of disturbing the empress' recuperation.At first, Fu Xiuyun would come to Fengyi Palace every now and then, but later he saw that the queen always looked sleepy, so he came less frequently.

On the contrary, Fu Yunchen would come to Fengyi Palace to accompany the queen every day after school.

When Ling Youyao and Fu Yunchuo came, the queen was guarding Fu Yunchen to practice calligraphy.Seeing them coming, Fu Yunchen's eyes lit up immediately, and he reminded in a low voice: "Mother, Aunt Huang and Auntie are here."

The queen looked up, and she really saw Ling Youyao and Fu Yunchuo coming in together.

She touched Fu Yunchen's head lovingly, and said, "Go."

Fu Yunchen got the permission, and immediately jumped off the chair and rushed towards Ling Youyao.

Seeing this, Fu Yunchuo stopped in front of him with a smirk, and said, "Chen'er hasn't seen aunt for a long time, why does he only want to hug Youyao alone? If your uncle finds out, be careful he beats you."

"Uncle Huang won't beat me up." Fu Yunchen refused to accept, and looked at Ling Youyao eagerly.

Ling Youyao was amused by him, stepped forward and said, "Long time no see, Chen'er seems to have grown a lot taller."

Fu Yunchen said: "Chen'er remembers Aunt Huang's words, eat well and study hard every day."

The Queen walked over with a smile and said to Ling Youyao: "Since you left, Chen'er has been thinking about you all the time, and today I finally hope for you."

Fu Yunchuo was not happy to hear this, and looked at Fu Yunchen with feigned displeasure: "Chen'er said last time that she likes aunt the most, why did You Yao forget aunt after being with you for a few days?"

Fu Yunchen quickly hugged her hand, raised a smile and said: "Chen'er naturally likes aunt, Chen'er drew a picture of begonia yesterday, aunt can help Chen'er take a look?"

Seeing what he said, Fu Yunchuo let him go: "Since that's the case, then I will help you take a look."

Feeling relieved, Fu Yunchen got permission from the empress before leading Fu Yunchuo down.

The queen watched them leave with a smile, then looked at Ling Youyao, and said, "Youyao, why did you think of entering the palace today?"

She hasn't gone out for many days, and there are only Qingdai and Chunlin around her, she doesn't know that the queen mother was fainted by Yu Guogong.

Ling Youyao said: "The queen mother is ill, I will come to visit her in the palace."

"Why is the queen mother suddenly ill?"

"The empress mother had some conflicts with Duke Yu, and she collapsed in a fit of urgency," Ling Youyao explained, "But the imperial doctor said there is no serious problem, so you don't need to worry too much."

The queen sighed softly: "So it is like this, the queen mother is sick, and I should take care of it."

Ling Youyao looked at her pale and tired face, and said: "Since your majesty didn't tell you, it's because you don't want to make you too tired. The queen mother has someone to take care of her, and the empress should take care of her body."

"My body has always been like this, I'm used to it." The queen lowered her eyes, with a trace of unresolved melancholy in her eyes.

Ling Youyao knew that she was thinking of Xie Yuanting in her heart, but after a few months, there was still no news.

When Xie Yuanting left, the pear tree in Fengyi Palace hadn't bloomed yet, but now the pear tree was covered with dark green, but he seemed to have disappeared, and all the people sent out returned empty-handed.

"Ma'am, I know you are concerned about Mr. Xie, but you have to take care of yourself. If Mr. Xie knows that you are unhappy because of him, you will also blame yourself."

Thinking of Xie Yuanting, the Queen's quiet eyes fluctuated, and she said, "Ah Yuan has been gone for so long, where did he go? Tell me, did something happen to A Yuan?"

Hearing the last sentence, Ling Youyao's heart skipped a beat, and she hurriedly comforted her: "How could it be? Mr. Xie said he would come back to see you, so he won't lose his word. Don't think too much about it."

The queen knew that she was comforting herself. These days, although she didn't say it, she knew in her heart that Xie Yuanting was going to avenge Lushan.But when he was wounded and left, even if he went to take revenge, with his own body, how could he bear the bloody revenge of Lushan's family?
"Actually, you don't need to hide it from me," her voice trembled slightly, "Ah Yuan's injury is no longer serious, but the poison in his body has reached the point where it cannot recover."

Ling Youyao was surprised and said: "Your Majesty, how do you know?"

The queen endured the soreness in her heart, and said slowly: "When A Yuan was recuperating in the palace, the masters of the state teachers from the southern border would come to the palace every day. Although I don't know why he went to Xuanguang Hall, but that time I saw the wound on his arm by chance, and besides the smell of medicine, there was a faint smell of blood in Xuanguang Hall. At that time, Xiaoqi led the troops to march to Southern Xinjiang, so I guessed that maybe His Majesty had reached something with Nanjiang protocol."

Although they deliberately hide some things, when they really care about a person, they will still find clues everywhere.

Ling Youyao looked at her quietly, not knowing what to say for a while.

The empress suppressed her tears, and smiled bitterly: "In the past, when A Yuan was away from home, he would always write a letter to this palace to report his safety, but now it has been so long, but this palace still has not received any letter from him."

"It may be a little sad to say that, but if he really can't come back, bengong... bengong"

As she spoke, she choked up a little, and the following words seemed to be blocked in her throat, and she couldn't say it no matter what.

Ling Youyao held her hand and said: "No, Mr. Xie will definitely come back. Before the Master of the National Teacher entered the palace every day, it was for Mr. Xie to detoxify. Since Mr. Xie chose to leave, he is sure to be able to help you. Lushan takes revenge. Madam, you have to trust him."

"Although there is no news about him right now, it is the best news if there is no news. Please wait for Mr. Xie to come back, okay?"

She held the queen's hand tightly, and she was equally afraid, afraid that Xie Yuanting would never come back, and also afraid that the queen would collapse because of it.

When Fu Yunchuo led Fu Yunchen back, seeing that their eyes were red, he asked suspiciously, "What's wrong?"

The queen wiped the corners of her eyes and forced a smile: "It's okay, I just remembered some past events."

But Fu Yunchen said: "Chen'er knows that the queen mother is thinking about uncle again."

Ling Youyao's heart skipped a beat.

Fu Yunchuo looked at Fu Yunchen curiously, and asked, "Uncle? Which uncle is Chen'er?"

"Little uncle, Xie Heng, Xie Yuanting."
