How did my host die?

However, the Queen Mother is very angry today. Such a banquet was originally hosted by her, the Queen, but today Concubine Hua took the lead and the Emperor hasn't said anything yet.

Yes, Concubine Hua directly took care of the Queen's affairs, and the only thing left was to tell the Queen to rest and not come out.

Fortunately, she has no children, otherwise, the emperor would be worried.

As they were talking, they both reached dawn.

Okay, I'm here. You can go back. Remember to come and play tomorrow. Days like this are almost over. While the emperor hasn't said he wants to go back, let's play for a few more days. When we return to the palace, we won't be so free anymore.

Okay, your majesty, you can go back.

As soon as I got back, Meixiang came into the room.

Master, how was your day? Was the banquet hosted by Concubine Hua fun?

Is there anything fun? If you like it, I’ll take you there next time.

I still have to take care of the young master, so I won’t go.

How is it, nothing happened today. Today, a palace maid came and said that the Queen Mother wanted to see the young master, but the maid sent her away, saying that the young master was sick and was afraid that the Queen Mother would pass on her illness, so she would go to see him after she recovered.

Queen Mother, I want to see the child. Do you know that palace maid?

I don’t know him. That’s why I feel strange.

Okay, you can go down now. I have eaten at the flower-viewing banquet, and I won’t be eating tonight. Just eat whatever you want. Don’t worry about me. I am going to rest.

Lying on the bed, I said to Tuanzi, "Today's maid belongs to someone, Tuanzi, do you know who she belongs to?" I have seen that maid in the Queen's Palace, but she was not a close servant. She was tending to the flowers and plants in Jingren Palace, Tuanzi said.

How could the Queen's people pretend to be the Queen Mother and say that the Queen Mother wanted to see the child? Fortunately, Meixiang was smart.

Duoduo thought that he could go and check at night. The security in the garden was not that strict, so he could go to the Queen Mother and the Queen's palace to check. It would be inconvenient to go back to the palace.

At night, Duoduo changed her clothes and went to the palaces of the Queen and the Empress Dowager. She didn't see anyone in the Queen's palace, so when she arrived at the Empress Dowager's, she saw that the Queen was also there. That was good, the two of them were together, and she didn't have to go to the Queen's place anymore.

Queen, what's the matter with you letting your maid pretend to be my person and take Concubine Xian's child today? Didn't I tell you not to hurt the child? Why can't you understand? The last time the Emperor told you to rest, haven't you learned your lesson?

Empress Dowager, you should know that everything I do is for the honor of my family. I just want to bring the child to you and let you raise him.

The virtuous concubine is a concubine and is qualified to raise a child. Why am I holding the child? Don't do this again in the future.

The Queen's thoughts were seen through by the Queen Mother, and she remained silent.

I know what you want to do, but the virtuous concubine can raise her own children. Besides, all the children in the palace are yours, and you are their imperial mother. What on earth are you doing acting like a human being?

How can a child be devoted to me if he has a biological mother?

Why do you still want to kill the virtuous concubine and save the mother and the son? The Queen Mother was surprised.

Queen, you are too stupid. How could Concubine Xian be promoted from a palace maid to a concubine? Is she stupid? Don't let the emperor completely dislike you, or you will have no way out. Stop it and don't do it anymore. Just be a good queen.

The Queen Mother didn't say anything, and the Queen Mother couldn't do anything.

Empress Dowager, I'll take my leave now. Please have a good rest.

Did Zhuxi Ai do something wrong? The Queen would harm the entire family by doing this. How could she think of killing Concubine Xian? Ai did not get any benefits from Concubine Xian, so it is even more impossible for her to do so.

Your Majesty the Queen Mother, the imperial physician tells you to worry less. The Queen Mother will understand your suffering, Zhu Xi said to comfort the Queen Mother.

I also hope the Queen can understand. I don't want to become the Queen Mother after going through so much trouble and then let Yixiu become the Queen. I just don't want the throne to fall into the hands of others. But Chunyuan is too soft-hearted and Yixiu is too cruel. The Emperor has not let down his guard against her, otherwise why would he put Hua Fei under house arrest and not let the Queen handle palace affairs in the future? Now Hua Fei is fine, and when she returns to the palace, the power of the palace will still be in Hua Fei's hands. Fortunately, Hua Fei has no children, otherwise I would not be able to sleep well. The Queen is still thinking about Concubine Xian's children. Isn't she afraid of courting death? said the Queen Mother.

Your Majesty the Empress, can't you let the Queen hold one of Concubine Xian's children? She gave birth to three. Even if the Queen raises one, there are still two, right? Besides, if the Queen raises it, it doesn't mean that Concubine Xian can't see it. Can't she see it anytime she wants? Besides, I see that Concubine Xian is not favored much. Why don't you give it a try, Your Majesty the Empress, Zhu Xi asked.

No, the Emperor would not agree, and Concubine Xian would not agree even more. You see that Concubine Xian is not favored much, but I know that although the Emperor does not see Concubine Xian very often, he does see her a lot, and every time he rewards her, he never forgets her. This is because the Emperor holds Concubine Xian in his heart. I know the son I gave birth to. The Emperor is not a person who can say good things. On the contrary, if he holds someone in his heart, he will protect them everywhere. You see, Concubine Xian has been a noble lady since her initial title. In the founding of the Qing Dynasty, there was no such fast promotion speed. Moreover, she did not want to get up early to pay her respects, so the Emperor found a reason for her, saying that she was not feeling well, so that she did not have to pay her respects to the Queen every day, but only go once in a while when she felt better. You see, Concubine Xian’s rewards were always the best, even worse than Concubine Hua. Everyone just thought that the Emperor did it for the three children, but many of the rewards were for the children. It just happened that there was a child as an excuse to make everyone not focus on Concubine Xian.

The Queen still wants to hold Concubine Xian's child. I'm afraid that if something happens to Concubine Xian, the Emperor will raise three children personally and will not give them a foster mother. But the Queen said that she can't see clearly, and I don't know how long I can protect her.

My lady, it'll be fine.

Duoduo listened to the words of the Queen Mother and Zhuxi, thinking, this Queen Mother is worthy of being the champion of the last palace fight. The Queen still wants to hold her own child, dreaming, since she is so capable of causing trouble, it is better for her to be sick. It just so happens that the Emperor will soon return to the palace, so let the Queen stay sick here, anyway, she always has a headache, so let her continue to have a headache. It is not realistic to ask the Emperor to depose the Queen. Besides, if the Queen is deposed, who knows what will happen if there is another Queen. It is still fine like this, a sick Queen, the Queen Mother will not have other ideas, how good it is.

Duoduo took advantage of the fact that the guards in the garden were not as strict as those in the palace, and asked Tuanzi to get the medicine and went to the Queen's yard. She couldn't kill people at will, as the Queen had a somewhat fickle fate, but it was okay to make her sick. When she arrived at the Queen's place, she asked Tuanzi to be on guard while she found a chance to make the Queen take the medicine.

I was still waiting when I heard the Queen say, Jianqiu, I'm thirsty, bring me some water. Here comes the opportunity.
