Chapter 160 Worry
"Do you know why the Empress Dowager gave such orders?" Xiao Jieyu frowned upon receiving such a reply from the palace servants. She was not in a hurry to continue to Fengming Palace, but stood here and asked the palace servants beside her clearly.

"I heard that because of the princess, the princess has been sick for a few days, and these days are hot and cold, and a palace official in Fengming Palace is also sick. The queen mother listened to the slander, thinking that the princess's illness will be extraordinary..."

Having said this, there is no need to continue, Xiao Jieyu also understood, after thinking about it, she put down her sleeves and turned to look at Xie Yun.

"General Xie, can we go together?" Since His Majesty left Xie Jun in the capital to protect the safety of the capital and the palace, he can patrol inside the palace, and naturally he can also pass outside Fengming Palace, but he cannot enter the palace.

"Yes." Nodding, Xie Jun lowered his eyes slightly, so as not to look directly at Xiao Jieyu's face, Xiao Jieyu nodded and led the way.

The two walked one after the other, Xie Jun frowned slightly, in addition to thinking about his own sister, he was also worried about his mother.

It's not that she is worried that her mother will be detained in Fengming Palace and cannot enter and leave, but that her mother will lose her temper when she sees her sister being wronged.

Although these years, with the growth of mother's age, her temper is not as hot as before, but there are some things that are really hard to say.

He didn't forget that his mother helped his nephew fight with others before.

It's also fortunate that the family is even more unreasonable, otherwise, this matter would have become a big mess.

Xiao Jieyu, who was walking in front, didn't know what Xie Jun was thinking. She asked Xie Jun if she could go with her, because she was worried that the queen might need help, but she couldn't.

But Xie Yun is different, he has His Majesty's edict, and he can deceive his elder brother, which is not bad if he thinks about it.

This is the palace, so it's impossible to do anything easily, but some preparation is better than no preparation.

-

At this time, in Fengming Palace, Zhao Jing stood at the gate of the palace, staring at the guards blocking the gate.

"The empress is pregnant, if something happens, can you bear it?"

Staring at the guards, Xiao Yun yelled sharply, the guards are getting more and more embarrassed, don't know what to do?

"I left this Fengming Palace. If there is anything wrong, I will take care of it. But you stop me here. If there is anything wrong, it will implicate your family."

Zhao Jing spoke in a calm tone. Hearing that his family would be involved, the guards finally couldn't stand it anymore and knelt on the ground.

"Don't worry, I won't pursue what you did just now, and I won't let the Queen Mother make things difficult for you."

After finishing speaking, Zhao Jing supported Xiao Yun's hand and walked out of Fengming Palace, going to Fushou Palace.

"Ma'am!" Xiao Jieyu's voice came, Zhao Jing looked over and saw Xie Min behind her.

"Empress." If he was at home, he would naturally be called Zhaozhao, but in the palace, under the current situation, in front of so many people, he still had to be called Empress.

Seeing Xie Jun, Zhao Jing was a little surprised, he called Xiao Jieyu to get up, and then talked to Xie Jun.

"The general is going to inspect the palace. He heard that there is something wrong with Fengming Palace, so he came over to have a look. Can your empress help?"

While talking, Xie Jun looked around calmly, but when he didn't see his mother, his heart tightened.

"Your Majesty, mother, she..."

"I'm here." Qin's voice came, she walked out of Fengming Palace, came to Zhao Jing's side, and took the "girl"'s arm from Xiao Yun.

"Since the Empress Dowager is going to the Fushou Palace, I have been in the palace for a long time, so I should go and ask the Empress Dowager to please her."

"Mother...Mother, you...you..." Xie Jun hesitated, fearing that his own mother would cause trouble for the Queen Mother.

Anyway, that's the Queen Mother.

"Don't worry." After giving him a blank look, Qin could guess what was going on in her son's heart. She helped Zhao Jing into the soft sedan chair, and she followed suit.

Zhao Jing didn't know why Xie Jun was like that, but since his mother-in-law said that he would go with him, he couldn't say much.

The soft sedan was lifted up to go to Fushou Palace, Xie Jun looked over with worry in his expression.

"Don't worry, general. With Mrs. Qin here, even if the queen mother wants to embarrass the empress, she will definitely take care of it."

Xiao Jieyu has a good relationship with Shen Chongyi and others. Shen Chongyi is the niece of the Queen Mother, so she naturally knows her aunt.

She once said that her aunt always liked to pretend to love the queen in front of people, as if she really loved the queen as a daughter, Xiao Jieyu remembered it in her heart.

Of course, these words were said in private by them, and they were all drunk at that time, so they could hear them, otherwise, Shen Chongyi would not have said such words when they were usually sober.

"Hey, you don't understand..." Sighing, Xie Jun smiled wryly, he couldn't stay here for too long, so he saluted Xiao Jieyu and said goodbye.

"Let's go slowly, general." He greeted each other with Xie Jun, after he left, Xiao Jieyu thought about it, and ordered the palace servants around her to invite Tao Jieyu to Changxin Palace.

After receiving the order, the palace servant took the order to go to work, and she carried the pastry and headed towards Changxin Palace.

She was thinking that Shen Chongyi and the Queen Mother were relatives, and she should be able to get news from Fushou Palace as soon as possible.

-

"Report to the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager and Mrs. Zhongyonghou seek an audience." In the Fushou Palace, the Empress Dowager received the report.

"Did someone block Fengming Palace, why..." The Empress Dowager was a little puzzled, but she didn't miss the last sentence of the palace servant.

Since Mrs. Zhongyonghou has also come, it is not easy to keep people out, but...she feels a little guilty, after all, she ordered Fengming Palace to be sealed off.

Zhao Jing and Qin Shi went into the main hall together, the Empress Dowager sat on the soft couch, and they both went forward to salute together.

"The queen is pregnant, so there is no need to be more polite." She greeted with a smile, and in front of Qin's face, the queen mother specially ordered someone to add an extra layer of cushions to the "queen".

The queen mother's behavior made Qin sneer in her heart, but she remained calm on the face.

In fact, Xie Jun's worry is unnecessary, even if he feels sorry for his daughter, Qin will not lose his mind and have any conflicts with the Queen Mother.

One of the reasons she came to Fushou Palace was to get in touch with the Empress Dowager personally to see what kind of old thing this is.

Furthermore, she was thinking that if she was there, no matter how dissatisfied the queen mother was, she would take it into consideration, after all, she would have to face.

Both Zhao Jing and the Qin family sat down, and the atmosphere in the hall was a little stagnant for a while. Zhao Jing was thinking about what he should say, and the Queen Mother was thinking about Fengming Palace being blocked.

"Speaking of which, the minister's wife is guilty. She should have come to pay her respects to the Empress Dowager long ago, but she didn't come here until today. She also asked the Empress Dowager to forgive her sins."

While the two of them were hesitating, Qin stood up, pointed at the Empress Dowager, and said with a smile.

"It's okay, it's all from my family, so there's nothing wrong with it." The queen mother also responded with a smile.

"Don't dare. The minister's wife is just the wife of a loyal and brave marquis. How dare she and the Queen Mother be called a family?" The Qin family was still smiling, and the Queen Mother was slightly relieved.

It's not enough to ask the teacher to ask the crime, she is a bit self-aware, but she still has to say something to save face, so the smile on the Empress Dowager's face is even deeper.

"The daughter of your Xie family married into the royal family and became my son's wife. Aren't we a family?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Qin's face was suddenly surprised...
