The crazy daily life of the mistress

Chapter 45: Always answering the wrong question

Ah Ru replied: "Okay, I will go right away."

When Nanny Ru left, Nanny Hui poured a cup of hot water and handed it to the Queen Mother, saying, "Queen Mother, drink some hot water first to warm yourself up."

The Queen Mother took the hot water, held it in her palm, and said, "Ahui, tonight is already September 16th."

On September 16, the little prince died in the empress dowager's arms.

September 16th was the last night the Queen Mother stayed at Fuguo Temple.

When Madam Hui knew, she replied in a low voice: "Yes, I know. Tomorrow morning, the queen will leave for the palace."

The Queen Mother said, "Yes, I have to go back to the palace."

Not long after, Nanny Ru came over with ginger tea.

Said: "My lady, the ginger tea is here."

The Queen Mother put down the hot water, held the ginger tea in her hand, blew on it in small sips, and slowly drank the bowl of ginger tea.

The oil lamp opposite finally went out.

At this time, a eunuch came out with a lantern, bowed and said, "Queen Mother, it's late at night, you should rest."

Nanny Ru and Nanny Hui walked over to help the empress dowager up, and said to the eunuch with a smile, "Eunuch Li has come at the right time. We were just about to help the empress go to bed."

Eunuch Li smiled and said, "The Emperor is filial and allows me to serve the Empress. The Empress, please do not think that I am too talkative. Although it is early winter, the night is cold and the Empress is weak. It is better not to sit outside for a long time."

The Queen Mother said, "The Emperor is thoughtful."

Eunuch Li said again: "Your Majesty, we will leave for the palace at 1:00 a.m. tomorrow. You should go to bed early."

The Queen Mother walked towards her own meditation room and replied, "Okay, Eunuch Li, go and rest as well."

The Queen Mother entered the meditation room, and soon the oil lamp in the meditation room was blown out.

Only then did Eunuch Li feel relieved and left with the young eunuch.

The emperor sent him to serve him and show his filial piety. In fact, the most important thing is supervision.

The Queen Mother is not the Emperor's biological mother, and the whole world knows this.

After all, the emperor is already thirty-two years old this year, and the empress dowager is only forty-four years old.

The Queen Mother couldn't give birth to a son this big.

The empress dowager entered the palace at the age of sixteen and had no children for four years. She thought there was no hope of getting pregnant, so she adopted a motherless prince, the current Emperor Tiansheng.

Who knew that she would become pregnant a year later, but she encountered many difficulties during the pregnancy and the baby was born with only a weak breath left.

In order to save the child, the late emperor immediately made him the crown prince. Hoping to bring good luck to the child, the imperial doctors in the palace tried their best to treat him, and precious medicinal materials were sent to the queen's palace like water.

But the little prince only lived for sixteen days.

From then on, the Queen Mother was depressed all year round.

The late emperor and the empress dowager were deeply in love, but they never had children of their own.

Emperor Tiansheng became the Empress Dowager's only child.

The late emperor was afraid that other princes would treat the empress dowager badly after they succeeded to the throne, so he passed the throne to the current Emperor Tiansheng before his death.

Eunuch Li was the chief eunuch of Emperor Tiansheng.

I grew up with Emperor Tiansheng since childhood.

The two had a few years of hardship together.

Therefore, the person that Emperor Tiansheng trusts most in this world is Eunuch Li.

Who wouldn't praise the Emperor for being filial when he sent his most trusted and closest person to serve the Empress?

Eunuch Li knew that the emperor was not filial at all.

Because he was young without the protection of his biological mother and had suffered a lot of bullying, Emperor Tiansheng developed a suspicious, violent and murderous personality.

After being adopted by the queen, he spent more than a year on his journey from earth to heaven.

He went from being an unpopular prince who could be trampled upon by everyone to a noble prince whom everyone had to bow to.

Such days made him feel elated, but he was always worried that one day he would lose such good days.

He heard the palace maids and eunuchs discussing that the queen adopted him because she had no children and was unable to give birth.

If one day the queen becomes pregnant and gives birth to her own child, he will not be able to live his current life. Instead, he will be reduced to his original form and become an unpopular prince again.

Although he was only nine years old at the time, when he heard that the queen was pregnant, he appeared to be as happy as a real child and said he wanted a younger brother or sister, but in his heart he began to search for various ways to make the queen have a miscarriage or give birth to a daughter.

The queen was indeed very cautious at that time, but how could she doubt the children around her?

Therefore, it was very easy for Emperor Tiansheng to attack his adoptive mother back then.

He personally put all kinds of toxic drugs into his foster mother's food and pregnancy-preserving medicine.

In the end, his adoptive mother gave birth to a baby boy.

Looking at the child who was breathing weakly, his adoptive mother suspected that someone in the palace wanted to harm her child.

She talked about everyone she suspected and checked everything, but she never suspected the child who was by her side.

After that day, the adoptive mother became weird and refused to let anyone see or hold the child.

She locked herself and her child in the room, not allowing anyone to visit them, and only allowed the imperial physician to go in and treat them.

After ten days, she refused to let even the imperial physician in.

Just holding the child and crying inside.

On the sixteenth day, the little prince died.

The queen also fell ill and could not get up.

After two years of rest, my health gradually improved.

After that, I would come to Fuguo Temple and stay for sixteen days every year.

This is nothing. When the late emperor was alive, the Empress Dowager came here to live every year.

But after Emperor Tiansheng ascended the throne, he began to suspect that after the empress dowager came to stay for these sixteen days every year, her mood would improve when she returned to the palace.

Emperor Tiansheng was suspicious by nature, so he wondered whether the little prince was still alive.

So in recent years, he sent his personal eunuch, Eunuch Li, to Fuguo Temple.

The next day, at the hour of Mao, it was still dark.

The monks in the temple have already gotten up for their morning prayers.

The Queen Mother, supported by Nanny Ru and Nanny Hui, bid farewell to the abbot.

Then he boarded the phoenix chariot back to the palace.

The abbot's name is Mingzheng.

Standing in front of the main gate of the Great Hall, watching the Queen Mother leave.

Zhan Shixuan came over and saw only the tail end of a team. He asked, "Master, who is coming to burn incense so early?"

Mingzheng looked at Zhan Shixuan and replied, "Amitabha, burning incense does not matter whether it is early or late, as long as your heart is sincere, it will be effective."

Zhan Shixuan said, "Master, why are you like Master Wu, always answering questions irrelevantly?"

Master Mingzheng looked at him lovingly and said with a smile: "Since you are here, please do morning prayers with me."

Zhan Shixuan knew that Master Mingzheng wanted to tell him something, so he replied, "Okay!"

The two entered Master Mingzheng's meditation room.

The young monk immediately brought hot tea.

Master Mingzheng said, "I am going to discuss the sutra with you, you can go down first."

The young monk put his hands together, bowed and said, "Yes, Abbot!"

As soon as the little monk left, Zhan Shixuan immediately lay down and said, "Master, why are you all so nice to me?"

Mingzheng said: "A Xuan, what do you want to ask?"

Zhan Shixuan stood up, sat cross-legged, and said, "I was so rude just now, why didn't the master scold me?"

Mingzheng recalled that when Zhan Shixuan was a child, he would get angry in his meditation room and refuse to read the scriptures. Mingzheng would then take a ruler and hit the small table with it. Zhan Shixuan would then be frightened and stand up, pick up the scriptures and begin to read aloud.
