A happy event in a fertile field: the black-bellied husband is as beautiful as a flower

Chapter 554

But the emperor was not confused.

Only by handing it over to the Inner Court Division can a satisfactory result be achieved.

Otherwise, hand it over to Dali Temple, and if it doesn't work out, wait for Dali Temple to poke your face?

Concubine Xiao didn't ask any more questions.

Meng Yan asked again: "The Empress Dowager repeatedly made fun of the thirteen princes, does your empress know the reason?"

Concubine Xiao's expression froze, and she said softly: "The empress has nothing to do with her so far, so she must know about it. Shisan is still very young, and the empress dowager hinted to me earlier that she wanted to adopt Shisan to the empress to raise her."

As she walked, she continued: "Adopted to the queen, he is a son. Although there will be endless glory in the future, he will not be my son after all. There are many princes in the palace. I don't ask Thirteen to stand out, but at least I want to be safe. I accept No more than thirteen years later, I will no longer call me concubine mother, so I did not agree.

"The queen mother tried to separate Shisan from me, but Shisan was crying, making trouble and getting sick. The queen mother had no choice but to let it go. But in fact, she didn't really let go in her heart."

The two chatted as they walked, and they arrived at the Empress Dowager's palace without knowing it.

It's just that all the people serving the Queen Mother are new faces, and there are not any familiar faces that are used to in the past.

After Meng Yan and Concubine Xiao entered the palace gate, they came to the sleeping hall and passed the Buddhist building. It can be seen that the palace people are dismantling it little by little, and transporting the charred wood out one by one.

The nanny who led the way respectfully said: "Concubine Xiao and Princess Yin Wu, please come here with your servants, this place is scorched, don't want to dirty the shoes of the two masters."

There was a fire in the Empress Dowager's Palace. The Empress originally arranged another palace for the Empress Dowager temporarily. However, the Empress Dowager's injury should not be tormented. In addition, although three places in the palace were on fire, the other places were still intact; therefore, the Empress Dowager was still placed in her own palace. Here, the new dormitory that was temporarily placed last night was also well-arranged this morning.

There are several palace guards inside and outside the Queen Mother's bedroom.

As soon as Meng Yan and Xiao Feifu stepped into the bedroom, they smelled a strong smell of medicine, mixed with a lifeless smell.

The decoration in the sleeping hall is mainly bright yellow, and the materials used for the curtain, table brocade and soft pillows on the couch are quite luxurious.

When we arrived in the inner room, the bed was covered by a bed curtain. According to reports from the palace staff, the Empress Dowager was resting at the moment.

Meng Yan asked, "Has the Empress Dowager used any medicine?"

The palace man replied: "I just took the decoction an hour ago. Just now the imperial physician said that the empress dowager's burn needs to be changed soon. The imperial physician has already gone to prepare it."

When the Empress Dowager was asleep, the palace servants did not dare to open the curtain without authorization to disturb the Empress Dowager's rest.

But at this time, there was a little movement in the tent, and the Queen Mother seemed to wake up.

The nanny stepped forward and asked, "Is the queen mother better? Is there anything you need? Please tell your servant."

After a while, the Queen Mother's voice came from the tent: "Get lost."

The sound was extremely rough and dry, like the sound of dead wood and old branches breaking on the ground, which was very different from the usual kind and gentle sound like a warm wind blowing.

If it wasn't for knowing that the Queen Mother was lying here, even Meng Yan might have suspected that it was sent by someone else.

The Queen Mother is no longer serving her own people, and in addition to the current situation, it is no wonder that she loses her temper so much.

You must know that she was angry in her heart before, and she would not show it on her face.

The nanny and other palace servants in the bedroom also reacted very calmly, they just bowed and retreated to the outside room.

Judging by their reactions, this is not the first time the queen mother has lost her temper.

Meng Yan said to the nanny: "Go and get a glass of water for the Queen Mother."

Mammy replied: "Yes."

Then Meng Yan stepped forward, lifted the tent, and hung it in the hooks on both sides.

This same bright yellow tent is delicate and smooth to the touch, embroidered with vivid peonies and phoenix patterns, exuding a slightly soft luster under the soft light.

After the tent was opened, the scene on the bed appeared little by little.

An old woman was lying on the couch with a haggard appearance. It was really difficult for people to connect her with the graceful and luxurious old lady in the past.It seems that I have aged ten or 20 years suddenly.

The queen mother did not expect that the person who opened the bed curtain would be Meng Yan.

At that time, Meng Yan was standing in front of her bed, against the light, with different expressions on her face, but extraordinarily calm.

When the queen mother saw her, her chest suddenly rose and fell.

She was the one who should have been burned to death last night!Why is she still here!
The Queen Mother immediately understood everything.

Meng Yan said flatly: "These people who are changing around the queen mother must not be used to it for a while. But no matter what, you should take care of your own body. In the past, the queen mother has never seen such a big anger around the queen mother, so why bother with the palace?" People are angry."

The queen mother's chest rose and fell, but she couldn't move her whole body, so she could only watch Meng Yan fixedly.

At the right time, Mammy brought a glass of water, Meng Yan reached out to take it, and said, "Leave it to me."

Mammy retreated to the outside room again.

Meng Yan gathered her clothes and sat down by the couch, and used a small spoon to scoop up a spoonful of water to moisten her mouth.

The Empress Dowager's eyes were red from the smoke, and when she stared at Meng Yan, she couldn't help crying.

The queen mother moved her throat, and said to Meng Yan in a weak and dull voice: "As expected, you are still alive."

Meng Yan wiped the corners of her eyes for her, and said: "The queen mother is seriously injured, her eyes and throat must have been smoked, so it's better to use your eyes less and talk less."

She raised her eyebrows slightly, and while feeding the Queen Mother meticulously, she said in a slow voice like a gossip: "Thanks to the Queen Mother's blessing, the minister's wife also escaped death yesterday. Unexpectedly, the Queen Mother was injured more seriously than the minister's wife, fortunately If it is discovered in time, the consequences will be disastrous."

Meng Yan said slowly again: "When I came here just now, I saw that the Buddhist building has become a dangerous building, and the palace people are dismantling it. Yesterday, it was said that the long-burning lamp in the Buddhist building leaked oil and caught fire. In this way, the Buddhist hall was lit all night without sleep. , is such a quiet place, if you are not careful, it will become a dangerous place."

She also said sincerely: "But fortunately, the Empress Dowager has a Buddha in her heart, and the Buddha must have been deeply moved by the Empress Dowager's sincerity. My wife heard that when the Empress Dowager was rescued last night, it happened to be the fallen Buddha statue that protected the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager has warded off many dangers. The Empress Dowager is always kind and compassionate, and she is devout to the Buddha, so the Buddha should protect her."

The Empress Dowager closed her eyes, trying her best to hold back her rage.As long as you move your arms a little, you will feel a pain like burning tendons.

Concubine Xiao stood beside the queen mother's bed curtain, and the queen mother couldn't see her at all.

She also never made a sound.

After all, she will have to get along in the harem in the future. She thinks she doesn't have the courage and courage of Meng Yan. Even if she hates this old woman again, she has to endure it for the sake of her own and her son's future stability.

And Meng Yan's words didn't sound wrong from the beginning to the end.
