The arrogant imperial concubine arrives, the favorite of the regent

While Yun Mujiu was thinking, she heard Madam Kong comforting her: "Queen Mother, the Emperor is the Son of Heaven, and no one can interfere with his actions. You should just focus on recuperating and take care of yourself." Even though the Emperor cared about the Queen Mother, he would not completely follow her ideas. Even if the Queen Mother wanted to protect Princess Ye, she was probably powerless.

They could not interfere with the emperor's decision and could only accept it.

The Queen Mother complained: "If I had known this would happen, I would have given birth to a child! A child wouldn't have to go through so much trouble!"

"Empress Dowager!" Madam Kong was extremely panicked and looked around. Fortunately, she and the Empress Dowager were the only ones in the room.

She placed her hands on the Queen Mother's arms and said fearfully, "Queen Mother, you can't say this. It would be bad if the Emperor knew about it."

"I know you care about me, but I am upset and cannot speak the truth in private. I am really frustrated as the queen mother."

"Alas..." Madam Kong, the loyal old servant, had a worried look on her face. As the empress dowager's personal servant for many years, she could empathize with her.

However, the master and servant could not change some facts, so they could only advise: "Empress Dowager, perhaps the emperor has his own difficulties."

The Queen Mother said coldly: "No matter how much he had his reasons for what happened back then, it cannot absolve him of the guilt he has."

"Empress Dowager, the emperor is now the emperor of Zhongyue State, and few people can say anything wrong about him." Even someone as noble as the Empress Dowager did not have much say in front of the emperor. Even if the Empress Dowager was dissatisfied with the past, she could not do anything to the emperor.

Madam Kong paused and whispered, "What's more, the emperor is the empress dowager's son. I can understand your feelings, empress dowager. Your heart is entangled with love and hate, and the hatred is far greater than the love between mother and son. Empress dowager, you should open your heart and rest assured to recover from your illness."

Yun Mujiu stood quietly outside the Queen Mother's bedroom and happened to hear the conversation between the Queen Mother and Madam Kong. She was not the kind of person who liked to eavesdrop. She originally wanted to come to see the Queen Mother for a follow-up visit, but unexpectedly she heard the conversation between the Queen Mother and Madam Kong. It was not right to leave, and it was even more wrong to knock on the door and go in. So she could only stand there and wait.

But what did the Queen Mother mean by that? "I'd rather just have one child!"

When she was young, the Queen Mother did not want to have more children? Could it be that the Queen Mother had more than one child?

The door of the Queen Mother's bedroom was closed, and the Queen Mother and Madam Kong thought that people outside could not hear what they were saying. However, they did not know that someone was outside the room, and they did not know that Yun Mujiu had a certain amount of martial arts internal strength, and his hearing had become stronger, so he could hear the whispers in the room.

"Queen Mother, didn't someone just report that Princess Ye is about to arrive at Renshou Palace? Can you cheer up and prepare to meet Princess Ye?"

"Yes. Send someone to pick up Mu Jiu. Renshou Palace is so big, Mu Jiu doesn't know the way, and there are not many people in the palace. I'll have to trouble her to find my bedroom later."

The Queen Mother had already sent a group of people from Renshou Palace to Qianqing Palace to wait for Yun Mujiu, but she didn't expect Yun Mujiu to come back on his own. There were not many people in the palace at this time, and the Queen Mother was worried that Yun Mujiu would not be able to find the specific address of his bedroom.

"I understand." Madam Kong combed the Queen Mother's hair and would go out soon.

Yun Mujiu's ears twitched slightly, and he saw Fusang shaking his head not far away, his eyes meant: "Someone is coming."

Yun Mujiu slowly backed away and walked to Fusang's position. If someone saw her standing in front of the Queen Mother's door, the Queen Mother would probably wonder if she had heard something she shouldn't have heard. To be on the safe side, she should stay away from the Queen Mother's bedroom door.

At this time, some palace maids and eunuchs came over.

They saluted seriously, and the leading maid said, "Princess Ye, we were ordered by the Queen Mother to go and pick you up."

"It's okay, I can come here by myself." Yun Mujiu waved for them to stand up, and then said: "You lead the way, I'm going to the Queen Mother's bedroom."

When Nanny Kong went out, Yun Mujiu just happened to arrive at the door.

Yun Mujiu entered the room and greeted the Queen Mother politely.

The Queen Mother signaled with her eyes for the servants to help Princess Ye to stand up, and asked anxiously, "Are you tired from walking? Why don't you ask someone to bring a sedan chair?"

Yun Mujiu smiled faintly: "Queen Mother, I'm not tired, I just want to walk and enjoy the scenery inside the palace."

The Queen Mother looked at Yun Mujiu for a few seconds and saw that she was well-dressed, but her face was a little pale.

"Is there anything wrong?"

"To answer the Queen Mother, I'm fine." Yun Mujiu took the tea brought by the servant and said with high emotional intelligence: "The Emperor summoned me only to inquire about your health. The Emperor is really filial to you, the Queen Mother!"

The Queen Mother nodded slightly and smiled slightly: "I'm glad you're okay."

Then he replied, "The emperor is a filial child." The second half of the sentence was not said: it's just that this filial piety is not necessarily that great.

Yun Mujiu did not mention the emperor's intention to look for her, nor did she talk about the specific content of the conversation with the emperor. The queen mother was in a high position, so she could naturally guess why the emperor looked for her. However, there was no need to involve the queen mother in the matter between her and the emperor, and the queen mother could not do anything, so there was no need to say more to the queen mother.

The Queen Mother did not ask Yun Mujiu what he was doing, nor did she ask Yun Mujiu what happened in detail. Seeing that Yun Mujiu had no abnormality on his face and no external injuries, and hearing Yun Mujiu say "nothing" himself, the Queen Mother silently chose not to ask any more questions.

Yun Mujiu began to take the empress dowager's pulse, while the palace maid brought her the medicine box that she had left in the side hall last night.

After taking the Queen Mother's pulse, Yun Mujiu found that her condition had improved slightly, so he took out another needle and gave her a second acupuncture treatment.

After a cup of tea, the acupuncture was over. The Queen Mother's cheeks turned a little pink, and her complexion improved.

"Queen, you can take the medicine I left for a few days. I will make new medicine for you after I return home."

"You are a thoughtful child." The Queen Mother said with a smile. "You haven't had lunch yet? Do you want to stay and have lunch before leaving?"

The Queen Mother was asking for Yun Mujiu's opinion, rather than asking him to stay.

Yun Mujiu already had an idea in his mind, but he still deliberately showed a hesitant expression.

"This... Thank you Queen Mother for your kindness, but let's forget it. I will return to the palace if I have the chance in the future. I have to go back home today. The prince still needs someone to take care of him."

While Yun Mujiu politely rejected the Queen Mother, she also used Ye Xiaohan as a pretext. The Queen Mother was the Emperor's biological mother, and although she had no ill will towards her, there was no guarantee that she would not do something for the Emperor in the end.

Therefore, when rejecting the Queen Mother, he brought up the fact that Ye Xiaohan needed someone to take care of him as another reason, which just happened to hint to outsiders the "fact" that the Night King was weak.

The Queen Mother was slightly startled, and stared at Yun Mujiu with an unpredictable look in her eyes...
