Quick Wear: The female supporting role makes a comeback by giving birth to a child

Yikun Palace.

The heavy door curtain was opened, and a smell of decay hit me in the face.

Even if the palace servants burned incense every day and ventilated the room from time to time, they could not eliminate the smell that emanated from the palace owner at all times.

The palace servants in the hall were probably already accustomed to the smell, and they were standing in the hall without changing their expressions.

Although Nanny Qiu was younger than Madam Liu, she also passed away last year.

The person who serves Liu closely now is Nanny Deng, whom she promoted later.

When Nanny Deng saw Xiao Che, she was delighted and hurriedly opened the curtain herself: "Your Majesty, please come in."

The fifteen-year-old boy now has a tall and straight figure.

With a height of nearly six feet (note: converted according to modern units here), he already gives off a strong sense of oppression.

He had a handsome face and was dressed in a solemn dark dragon robe, which made his slightly childish face look more majestic.

When the other palace servants in the hall saw him, they all knelt down and saluted.

When the young emperor waved his hand, they all retreated.

There was a charcoal basin burning with silvery charcoal next to the bed in the fifth hall.

The Empress Dowager Liu was lying on the bed, looking haggard and exuding the aura of death.

Perhaps she heard some noise, she opened her droopy eyes, squinted, and tried hard to look.

After a long while, she finally gave up wasting her energy and simply turned her head to look at the curtains above the bed:

"Is it the Emperor?"

"Great-grandmother, it's my grandson." Xiao Che looked down at the woman who had been able to make things happen in Daliang for nearly forty years.

His eyes were calm and his emotions didn't seem to fluctuate.

"I heard that you granted marriages to many of the ministers' descendants at court this morning?"

She was breathing heavily as she spoke.

Something was blocking her throat, causing her to make a "humming" sound every time she breathed.

"Yes."

Xiao Che's answer was still concise.

It seemed that as long as the other party didn't ask, he didn't intend to say anything more.

Liu panted for a while again, and it was not known whether she was angry about Xiao Che's answer, but she did not utter a word for a long time.

After a long time, the grunting sound finally died down, and then her slightly hoarse voice was heard:

"I want to know why. As far as I know, those ladies should be the candidates for queen that I asked your mother to look at, right?"

Even if there were a few of them she put in there randomly to confuse people.

But most of them were carefully selected by her.

If these people cannot become queens, they can still occupy a place in the palace, which will help the emperor stabilize his government.

"Yes. Great-grandmother has a very good memory. These people are indeed the ones chosen by great-grandmother."

He answered quite frankly.

Liu choked and said, "What does the emperor have to say about me?"

"What do you mean, great-grandmother? I have always followed your instructions since I was little! I respect you so much, how could I be dissatisfied with you? Or do you think you have done something wrong to me?"

Xiao Che looked puzzled and even kicked the question back directly.

Liu: ...

She suddenly sighed heavily, "I have been shrewd all my life, and I have been on guard against your mother all my life, but I didn't expect that I would still be fooled by her!"

The words just now were not something that the stupid kid in her mind could say!

Xiao Che was stunned for a moment after being exposed suddenly, but he didn't care too much:

"Great-grandmother has always been a master of strategizing. How could mother dare to fool you? If great-grandmother is dissatisfied with her grandson, she can just teach him a lesson. Mother has worked hard all her life, and she should not be subjected to these groundless suspicions."

"Haha! I was in charge of the overall situation, but I didn't see the little tricks you guys were doing right under my nose. The emperor doesn't have to be so cautious. I'm already a dying man, and I won't do anything to you, the emperor."

She sighed, with a hint of relief in her voice.

"I know that you have hated me all these years. However, I don't care. Now that you have your own ideas and can stand on your own, you must be careful to guard against the people around you. Imperial power is a very attractive thing. Don't let the imperial power of Daliang fall into the hands of others again."

This sentence sounded like it was written with Xiao Che in mind, but it also carried the suspicion of sowing discord.

Xiao Che sneered, "Don't worry, great-grandmother. Mother is not like you, who is obsessed with power! Besides, even if Mother wants this power, I will definitely give it to her with both hands!"

Unfortunately, his mother was a very lazy person.

She doesn't care at all about things that others care so much about and have always wanted to fight for.

Sometimes, he even thought that if it weren't for him, given his mother's temper, she would have found a way to escape long ago.

The world is vast, and freedom and ease are what the Queen Mother desires most.

Liu couldn't see the expression on Xiao Che's face, but she didn't believe what Xiao Che said.

Once people have tasted power, no one will be willing to let it go.

She is, Shen is, her daughter Changle is, so her granddaughter will definitely not be an exception!

She sneered, her cloudy eyes flashing with calculation.

She didn't expect that she had underestimated her granddaughter before.

I thought she was just a little girl who was easy to control, but I didn't expect her to be so patient.

"The emperor is willing to believe her, and I don't want to be a bad person and say anything more. Since those noble ladies have been granted marriage, let it be! There are still some girls of the right age in my family..."

"Grandma, you are not feeling well. You should take a good rest. My mother will take care of my grandson's marriage. Please don't worry about it!"

Xiao Che interrupted Liu's words in a cold voice.

His eyes were slightly cold as he looked at his great-grandmother who had a calm face.

But Liu had a faint smile on her face, but was silent for a long time.

Xiao Che frowned slightly and listened carefully, but he didn't hear the "grunt" sound of Liu's breathing for a long time.

His face changed slightly, and he quickly reached out his hand, trying to feel the other person's breath.

A hand so withered that it was almost skin and bones suddenly stretched out.

Xiao Che quickly stepped back and withdrew his hand.

But Liu was stunned for a moment, and the outstretched hand suddenly fell heavily.

There was a "bang" sound.

With deep reluctance, the empress dowager, who had been stirring up trouble in the court for nearly half her life, finally breathed her last.

At that moment, Xiao Che's face turned dark.

If he hadn't practiced martial arts, or if he had reacted a little slower just now, I'm afraid...

"Queen Mother!"

A scream came from outside the bed.

Xiao Che glanced sideways, watching the man walk in quickly and approach the bedside of the Empress Dowager.

I don’t know what she saw, or if she didn’t see the expected scene, a hint of surprise flashed across her eyes.

But when he turned around and met Xiao Che's cold eyes, the man's eyes rolled and he reacted quickly.

She fell to her knees with a plop, crying, "The Queen Mother has passed away!"

Xiao Che looked at her reaction and sneered in his heart. His great-grandmother's last move was really unexpected.

It’s a pity that she used the wrong person!

I also misjudged people's hearts.

Looking at the unwilling eyes of the person on the bed, Xiao Che lifted his robe and knelt down decisively: "Grandson, I am sending you off! Rest in peace, great-grandmother!"
