In Yongfu Palace, the Empress Dowager was leaning on the soft pillow on the soft couch, her brows were tightly furrowed. You Jing and Wen Wan'er took a small hammer wrapped in cotton cloth and gently tapped her legs.

"Prince Huan is here!"

You Jing dropped the mallet in her hand, stood up abruptly, looked at the stalwart man who walked in, her face was full of surprise and admiration.

Wen Wan'er frowned, gently pulled the corner of her clothes, and shook her head secretly.

"Huan'er is here, sit down quickly, Wan'er serves tea."

The queen mother stretched out her hand and pulled the person to sit down, "Just you? How about it?"

"She went to Huimin hall, and she will enter the palace to greet you another day. My son just came from Chengguang hall."

The Empress Dowager noticed that Yao'er's eyes were reddish, and she couldn't help but her eyes were filled with tears, and the suppressed grief in her heart welled up.

Wen Wan'er came over gracefully and gracefully holding the tea tray, and just as she put down the tea, the Queen Mother waved her hand.

"You all go down, Aijia and Wang Ye talk to each other."

"…Yes."

When everyone left, the Empress Dowager covered her face with a veil, and wept silently. Xiao Huan had heard from the emperor's brother just now, and the Empress Dowager knew about it.

"You all keep it from Aijia, but have you ever thought about it, it's the meat that fell from Aijia's body..."

The king's life is not long. How serious is such a major event related to the fate of the country. As a mother, she has to watch her child wither day by day. Time is running out, but she can't cry and mourn.

"Mother..." Xiao Huan closed his eyes, feeling sad.

"A few days ago, the Ai family saw that the emperor had no more headaches, and he was getting better. I don't know how happy the Ai family is, why... my son is in his prime, how will the Ai family live in the future!"

The Empress Dowager saw Xiao Rui faint again a few days ago, and only found out after being forced to question her. shoulders, crying bitterly.

Zheng Yan was the only one standing outside the hall. Hearing the faint sobs coming from the hall, she sighed sadly. She had served the Queen Mother for nearly half her life. How could she not see the abnormality of the Queen Mother these days? She fainted, and she guessed it vaguely, so she sent all the palace people away when she left the palace just now, and stood guard here alone.

The Queen Mother cried for a while, rested for a while, and wiped her eyes, "Huan'er, if An is a good doctor, is there really nothing else she can do?"

"Ru'an said that if Brother Huang absolutely rests and stays away from the hustle and bustle of common affairs, he may be able to earn some more time, but Brother Huang's brain disease is serious, and the medicine stone is no longer effective..."

The empress dowager put down the veil in a daze, "The state affairs are busy, the emperor has been on the throne since he was enthroned, he is diligent in governing and caring for the people, and even if he is ill, he never slacks off for a day. How can he absolutely rest..."

"Mother, just now, my son and I have told the emperor face to face, and retreated to the royal courtyard to recuperate." Xiao Huan said slowly.

"What?" The Empress Dowager was startled, grabbed his hand, terrified, "Retreat? Isn't that just Rangxian? Yaoyao! Why do you say such nonsense?"

"Don't worry, queen mother, the emperor didn't blame the son and said bluntly."

"Really?" The Empress Dowager held her beating heart in a low tone, "Yaoyao, even if your imperial brother doesn't blame you, you can't talk nonsense. Have you ever thought about the situation of your mother? Your imperial sister married Dazhao far away. , It’s hard to meet again in this life, the empress only has you and the emperor by her side, if you have anything else, can the empress still live?”

"My son is just admonishing me bluntly. As for how to choose, let the emperor make the decision."

At the side hall, You Jing looked anxiously at the door where only Madam Zheng was standing on tiptoe.

"Haven't you come out yet? It's rare for me to see the prince once, and I couldn't say a word. Mother Zheng is too unkind, and she won't even let you stand at the door." You Jing complained in her tone, but in Yongfu Palace, no one dared to say anything. No respect for Zheng Yan.

Wen Wan'er next to her also had a flash of anxiety in her eyes. She was ordered by the queen mother to go home this time to visit her aunt who was sick, but she was not close to her aunt at all. Only then did I learn that the queen mother found two noble families for her, and asked her to discuss the choice with her father.

If you don't take any action, wait for the queen mother to order, then there is no room for change. Wen Wan'er frowned, she wanted to use You Jing's hand and medicine to facilitate the good things between herself and the prince. If she succeeded, she would have the support and cooperation of the Wen family The empress dowager loves her so much, she will definitely be able to earn the position of side concubine, even if she fails, the responsibility is all on You Jing, and she can get over it herself, but the problem now is that it is difficult for them to even meet the prince, how can they implement the plan? ?
"...Sister Wen?"

"Huh?" Wen Wan'er came back to her senses, looked up at the confused You Jing, and responded with a smile.

"What is Sister Wen thinking? I didn't hear you when I called you several times. Tell me, what should I do now? I can't show it in Yongfu Palace. Only you can help me."

Wen Wan'er pondered for a moment, glanced at the surrounding area, and said in a low voice, "Sister has thought about it for you, under the eyes of the empress and Madam Zheng, you have no chance, so find a way to enter the palace."

You Jing frowned, "It goes without saying, if I can enter the palace, I don't have to wait here."

"Ah Jing, don't worry, do you know Xin Liu?"

"Xin Liu? Is it the eunuch in the kitchen of our palace? What did Sister Wen suddenly say about him?" You Jing asked after thinking for a while.

"My lord loves the jasper cakes made by Madam Zheng since I was a child. Since my lord returned to Jingli Mansion, the Empress Dowager asked Xin Liu to send cakes to the mansion from time to time. Every time he entered the mansion directly through the back door, the guards knew him well." , and won’t stop it.”

After hearing her say a lot, You Jing still looked blank, "Then, should I tell my great aunt to deliver it? There is no way that my great aunt will agree!"

Wen Wan'er shook her head, "My sister didn't mean that, she just asked you to bribe Xin Liu to help you."

"Help me? You mean, bribe Xin Liu and put the medicine in the jasper cake? That's useless, I can't enter the house..."

"You must not let others know about the drug administration. You can bribe Xin Liu and let him take you into the mansion. Then, you will have a chance to approach the prince?" Wen Wan'er said softly, slowly .

You Jing's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly urged, "That's right, I have the opportunity to prescribe medicine only when I enter the palace. Sister Wen, go on, how can I bribe Xin Liu?"

"Xin Liu is an alcoholic and gambler in private. He owes a lot of money to outsiders. Also, he only has one grandmother outside. I usually see him very filial to his grandmother..."

At dusk, the sunset glow shone into the glazed window sill, and in the side hall, the two gathered together to talk carefully, one with glowing eyes, the other with lowered eyebrows.

Prince's Mansion

Xiao Yan frowned with thick brows, looked worriedly at his pale-faced wife on the soft couch, and asked Mother Su beside her.

"What's wrong with Ah Fu? Isn't he still fine in the afternoon?"

"Your Majesty, forgive me..."

"Your Highness, don't blame Madam Su, or the weather is noisy. It's hot and cold, and the humidity is heavy. I went to check the warehouse in the afternoon. There is a lot of dust and smell inside, and I'm just a little dizzy."

Seeing her husband's angry face, Shi Fu propped up his weak body, his head was a little dizzy, and he persuaded softly.

"If you feel dizzy, just lie down and don't get up, go and ask the doctor to have a look."

Shi Fu leaned on the soft pillow, smiled and shook his head, "No, I didn't feel any pain, I just inhaled the smell of lacquer oil and got dizzy, so I took a nap. Your Highness knows, I'm not used to taking a nap, and every time I wake up I was dizzy and aching all over.”

"But you can't even eat food, how can this happen? Otherwise, let the kitchen prepare some white cold soup, you used to eat that when you have a bad appetite." Xiao Yan motioned Su Momo to order.

"I don't want to eat that, my mouth feels faint, mother, go prepare a bowl of sour plum soup." Shi Fu felt his mouth salivating, and swallowed unconsciously.

"Yes." Madam Su looked worried, and hurriedly responded, turned around and walked a few steps, suddenly stopped, turned around sharply, her eyes widened with ecstasy.

"master…"

"Huh? What's the matter?" Shi Fu didn't know why, so he turned his head and asked, and Xiao Yan beside him also looked puzzled.

"It's all right... I'm going to get ready now, maidservant." Madam Su restrained her expression again, hurriedly walked out.
