Chapter 787 The Queen’s Illness Is Not a Disease
This time, Yun Mujiu entered the palace on his own initiative and did not encounter any obstacles.
While Yun Mujiu asked the people in Ye Palace to pass the message to the Queen Mother, the Emperor, the Queen, and some concubines in the harem also learned the news.
It was no secret that Yun Mujiu was preparing to enter the palace. In addition, Yun Mujiu herself did not intend to hide her intention to enter the palace from the people in the palace. Those people would know it sooner or later anyway, so there was no need for her to keep the news secret.
The emperor frowned slightly and didn't react for a while.
Eunuch Li was used to trying to figure out the emperor's mind, and he suggested like a shrewd man, "Your Majesty, do you need me to summon Princess Ye over?"
The emperor frowned and paused. "No need for that. Since she is here for the Queen Mother's follow-up visit, I must put the Queen Mother's health first."
The subtext is that there will always be opportunities to make things difficult for Yun Mujiu, but the Queen Mother's health and safety are the most important in the immediate future.
The emperor added, "What's more, I just angered the Queen Mother last time by inviting Yun Mujiu to the palace. This time, Yun Mujiu should obey the Queen Mother's wishes, and no one should interfere with the Queen Mother's follow-up work."
Eunuch Li understood and stepped aside.
The emperor pursed his lips. In addition to the two reasons related to the empress dowager mentioned above, there were two other reasons for letting Yun Mujiu enter the palace smoothly. First, Yun Mujiu had the token of the previous emperor given by Ye Xiaohan, so it was difficult to touch Yun Mujiu.
Second, as for Ye Xiaohan's survival, if Yun Mujiu makes a big mistake, it is possible that Ye Xiaohan will fight him to the death.
...
When the Queen learned that Yun Mujiu was preparing to enter the palace, her reaction was somewhat indifferent.
The personal nanny beside him suggested that they take advantage of the opportunity of Princess Ye entering the palace to deepen the relationship with her and give her a good beating.
The queen waved her hand and rejected the nanny's suggestion.
Her bright red lips curled up slightly as she said meaningfully, "The last time Yun Mujiu was summoned to the palace by the Emperor, I used the fact that Yun Mujiu was treating the Queen Mother's illness as a pretext to keep Yun Mujiu in Fengyi Palace. I never thought that the Queen Mother would actually let Yun Mujiu stay in her palace."
"Then, I took the opportunity of Yun Mujiu's follow-up visit to the empress dowager to go to Renshou Palace. This time, we must not do anything else to avoid arousing the suspicion of the empress dowager, especially Yun Mujiu." She originally wanted to use the excuse of visiting the empress dowager to bring Yun Mujiu back to Fengyi Palace for a talk, but unfortunately she failed.
Nanny Pei had only a vague idea of what was going on. The Queen glanced at Nanny and said directly, "Avoid alerting the enemy..."
"Yes, thank you very much for your advice, Your Majesty." Nanny Pei responded respectfully.
She turned around and took a bowl of medicine from the palace maid who had just entered the room.
"Empress, you should drink the medicine."
The queen raised her eyebrows, and a hint of displeasure appeared on her dignified face.
"What medicine are you drinking?" The queen looked unhappy and her temper rose: "I have been drinking it for so many years, but it doesn't seem to have any effect. On the contrary, these medicines make me weaker!"
Nanny Pei's old hand holding the soup bowl shook, and she almost spilled the soup.
"Your Majesty, to cure an illness you need to take care of your body for a long time. If Your Majesty is not satisfied with the miracle doctor who treated you recently, can I find a new miracle doctor for you?"
Nanny Pei advised earnestly, fearing that the Queen Mother would no longer be willing to take the medicine. After all, the Queen Mother had been taking it for so many years, how could she stop the treatment now?
"What's the use of having more miracle doctors! Even the so-called Wu, the famous doctor in the four countries, can't cure my illness. Over the years, many miracle doctors have been unable to cure my illness!"
The queen's graceful face was filled with complex emotions. She had thought about recovering, but she had tried her best but failed.
After so many years of hard work, she had already failed. How could she be absent for a short while? She no longer had any confidence or interest to continue.
Moreover, her illness was not something that could be cured by doctors. Her illness could not really be considered an illness.
The queen really felt very uncomfortable. She waved her hands and insisted that the medicine be brought down.
The people around him were unable to persuade him any more and just stood there with their heads down.
The queen became immediately angry and glared at the servants and started scolding them.
"You are a bunch of blind dogs. Have you forgotten what I told you to do?"
The servants bowed their heads and remained silent, then began to apologize, saying that they were doing it for the queen's health.
They were not disobeying orders, but were considering their master's health.
In fact, their real master was not the emperor who was high above everyone else in the palace, but the queen whom they had followed for many years.
Once the queen falls, they will all disappear. At the same time, the queen is also their good master. Whether for their own future safety or to achieve the purpose of loyalty to the master, they all hope that the queen will pay attention to her health instead of falling into a negative and decadent mood.
The queen became even angrier when she saw that they were disobedient.
She began to reprimand the servants again, saying all kinds of dirty words. At the same time, she pointed her fingers at them and criticized them, completely lacking the manners and grace of a queen.
She has been tolerant in Zhongyue for so many years, why does she need to be so graceful?
She didn't want or expect these people to disobey her.
She is their master. If the people below do not listen to her, they are afraid that they are doing it for her own good. Then what is the use of these people? And her hard work in cultivating these people for so many years will all be turned into a pool of waste water.
The queen slammed the table and shouted, "Anyone who dares to disobey my orders will be killed without mercy."
"Plop!" Nanny Pei and the others immediately knelt down.
"Please forgive us, Queen! We deserve death, Queen, please don't be angry, please take care of your body first!"
The Queen shouted coldly, "Go and do as I command."
Nanny Pei was so frightened that she came back to her senses, bent down, and winked at a little maid beside her. The little maid bowed to the queen, stood up, picked up the tray and the soup bowl, and ran out.
The others also looked guilty and frightened. They were overthinking about their master and were so flustered that they forgot what their master hated most over the years - someone daring to interfere with her decision.
The Queen looked down at Nanny Pei, several palace maids and eunuchs who were kneeling on the ground, and her red lips curled up slightly.
"This is your last chance. There won't be a next time..."
The queen narrowed her eyes and said coldly, "Next time you dare to interfere with my decision, I will send you to hell."
The people below were all terrified and kowtowed in reply.
The queen asked Nanny Pei to stand up. Nanny Pei had been her confidant for many years and had been her personal maid when she was in Nantai. In any case, she treated Nanny Pei differently from other subordinates.
After everyone else had their heads bruised, the queen nodded in satisfaction.
"All of you, get out."
"Yes! Thank you, Her Majesty!" The servants kowtowed vigorously and ran out in a hurry.
They knew how powerful the queen was. Their companions had died tragically before just because they had offended the queen. Even though those people were the queen's confidants who had worked for her for many years, they did not receive any tolerance or forgiveness from the queen.
The queen naturally knew how fearful the people below were, and she didn't care how they felt. Anyway, she always had these people firmly in her hands, and not only would they not disobey her, but they would also follow her loyally for the rest of their lives without any objection.
If she wasn't ruthless, she would have died in Nantai, the cannibalistic place!
It was precisely because of that experience in Nantai that she was forced to develop her current ruthless and cruel personality!
