Metaphysical Talisman Wife Fortune-telling Spirit: Orion eats chaff and I eat meat

"Huai Jin, Daye City is now handed over to you. After the first month of the year, when Xue gives birth, you two can take the child with you."

"Yes." Chen Huaijin said without hesitation.

However, Yang Chenghou took into consideration the fact that Xiao Luoyi had lost his status as the leader of Xuantian Sect, so he thought about it and looked at Xiao Luoyi.

"Second brother's wife, you may have to work hard running back and forth. If the court or Xuantian Sect needs you, you should help."

Xiao Luoyi naturally wouldn't refuse: "Yes."

……

Mu Wanwen has been suspecting these days that the emperor does not favor her because she is too plump.

She wanted to lose weight, so she asked the imperial physician to prescribe some medicine, and then she started to have diarrhea every day.

My stomach was aching dully, and I kept running to the toilet. The diarrhea was so severe that it was worse than death, and my face was as pale as paper.

She couldn't help but complain: "It's New Year's Day, and they don't even come to see me..."

The palace maids and eunuchs were silent: They all knew that His Majesty did not care much for the Queen. When she came, she would sit there reading books and marking memorials, and leave after an hour and never stay overnight.

It’s just that His Majesty’s rewards are always few, so outsiders mistakenly believe that His Majesty favors the Queen.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, brothers Chen Huaijin and Chen Huaiyu took Xiao Luoyi and Lu Yingying to the Mu Mansion to pay New Year's greetings.

The two solemn princes came to pay New Year's greetings, and the entire Mu family opened the middle door to welcome them.

"Greetings to His Royal Highness Prince Zhong!"

"Greetings to His Royal Highness Prince Xing!"

Brothers Chen Huaijin and Chen Huaiyu hurried forward to support him, shouting, "Greetings, Great Grandfather..."

The maternal grandfather became the great-grandfather, but he was helpless: they were now Mu Wanwen's sons.

After a chaotic visit, the heavy door of the Mu Mansion was closed, and the two brothers followed Mu Chengsong to the study.

Shen Danxia accompanied Xiao Luoyi and Lu Yingying to the warm room.

Knowing that these two "grandsons-in-law" were greedy, Shen Danxia asked someone to prepare snacks and milk tea early.

"This milk tea is a new flavor launched by Yihelou. I specially asked someone to go to Yihelou to buy it early in the morning. Come and try it to see if it tastes like this..."

Lu Yingying took it and started eating it immediately.

With a bite of dessert still in her mouth, she couldn't help but nod repeatedly: "Delicious..."

Looking at Lü Yingying who had been eaten like a little squirrel, Qian Yuxiu and Shen Danxia both laughed.

In the study, Mu Chengsong and Mu Zhaopeng looked at the two handsome brothers in front of them with seriousness in their eyes.

After closing the door, Mu Chengsong said in a deep voice: "There are no outsiders in the house, so just call me grandpa. Everything will proceed as before."

"Yes! Thanks, Grandpa."

Chen Huaijin is quick to accept good advice.

Mu Chengsong and Mu Zhaopeng looked at each other, and it was Mu Chengsong who spoke first: "You have won the favor of His Majesty and become the legitimate son. You will be different in the future..."

After saying some words of warning and reminder, Mu Chengsong changed the subject: "But we don't know the current situation of the Queen. Huaijin, you are walking in the palace, do you know her situation?"

Chen Huaijin has recently been in charge of the imperial guards, so he naturally knows about Mu Wanwen's situation.

After thinking for a while, he said implicitly: "Your Majesty will definitely visit your mother one day in seven days, and will stay in the Central Palace for about an hour each time."

One hour is enough if you want to do something.

But after only one hour, something felt wrong.

Mu Chengsong felt very upset when he thought of Mu Yaohua.

Chen Huaijin and Chen Huaiyu had sensitive identities, so there were some things he couldn't say directly to the two princes and could only speak implicitly.

"She is a family member after all. If she did something wrong, we should save her life if we can."

Chen Huaijin respectfully agreed: "As a son, I will protect my mother." But Mu Chengsong said: "She chose this path herself. She should bear the hardships and joys herself. Your first priority is to protect yourselves."

"If she does something outrageous and it's unacceptable, let her bear the consequences herself, and don't let her cause any trouble for you brothers."

Don't implicate the Mu family.

Chen Huaijin and Chen Huaiyu both understood.

The two of them bowed respectfully to express their agreement, but said nothing else.

There are some things that cannot be said.

"How long will it take for Prince Ren to arrive in Beijing?" Mu Zhaopeng asked.

"Brother is leaving for Beijing. It will take about ten days to travel day and night."

"Yes. You will leave Beijing when he comes back, right?"

Chen Huaijin replied: "We will wait until the second day of the second month in the capital before leaving."

On February 2, Concubine Xue probably gave birth.

Mu Zhaopeng looked at the two brothers with a complicated expression.

When they just came back from exile, the two brothers were still from the countryside, and their own daughters looked down on them because of their backgrounds.

How long has it been? He has become a prince who is second only to one person and above everyone else!
Dad said that the emperor made Wen'er the queen just to give the three brothers a legitimate status.

He didn't believe it at first, but after hearing Chen Huaijin talk about His Majesty's attitude towards Mu Wanwen, combined with the previous handling of the poisoning incident in the palace, he had to believe it.

If Your Majesty is interested in Wen'er, he will definitely clear her up from the injustice she has suffered and will not smooth things over and cause misunderstandings.

What's more, Your Majesty only goes to Wen'er Palace for one hour every seven days?
Wen'er is still the queen, so it is only natural for Your Majesty to stay overnight.

After finishing the meal with different thoughts, Chen Huaijin and Chen Huaiyu said goodbye and left.

Because Mu Wanwen was no longer at home, the women in the Mu family were all safe and sound, and no one dared to provoke Chen Huaijin and his brothers at this time.

After the second day of the Chinese New Year, the major families that are on good terms with each other would greet each other.

Qiao Yuerong's mother's family, Minister Qiao, brought their children to visit and wish a happy new year.

Minister Jin and his family came to pay New Year’s greetings.

General Luo Hongzhang and his family came to pay New Year's greetings...

Xiao Luoyi reluctantly received them at first, but later said that he was not feeling well and refused to participate in such a crowded and lively occasion.

Anyway, she is pregnant now, and she is the princess and the leader of Xuantian Sect... Any of these reasons are enough for her not to participate in the reception.

Lu Yingying is even worse at socializing and can only smile foolishly when she is next to Chen Huaiyu.

In the end, the two brothers took on everything.

After visiting all the familiar families, Chen Huaijin and his brothers just breathed a sigh of relief when bad news came from the palace: the Queen Mother suddenly fell into a coma after suffering from diarrhea for several days!
The imperial physician who was responsible for taking the Empress' pulse every day was found strangled to death in the Imperial Hospital.

The other doctors of the Imperial Medical Bureau were ordered to check the Queen's pulse and found out that the Queen had been poisoned and the diarrhea was caused by the poison.

Upon questioning, the palace maids said that the Queen Mother wanted to lose weight to win favor, so she asked the imperial physician to prescribe medicine, and the imperial physician also said that it would cause mild diarrhea.

Diarrhea is actually a symptom of poisoning, so no one took it seriously.

After suffering from diarrhea for several days, the Queen Mother finally couldn't bear it anymore and passed out.

The emperor was furious and ordered a thorough investigation.

Not long after Chen Huaijin and his brother brought Xiao Luoyi and Lu Yingying into the palace, the Queen Mother could no longer hold on and passed away.

Shen Danxia, ​​who was ordered to enter the palace, fainted without saying a word when she heard the news.

Zhao Zhi was accompanying Xiao Luoyi nearby, and upon seeing the situation, he rushed forward to provide treatment.

After a few injections of silver needles, Shen Danxia woke up quickly, but after waking up, she burst into tears and sobbed, but could not say anything. (End of this chapter)
