Song Qingci's awakening not only caused a stir in the General's Mansion, but also in the Imperial Palace.

Queen Zhou looked at Li Jianguo who was changing clothes in a hurry.

She stepped forward and took the belt. "If you tie it like this, it will come undone in a few seconds."

The emperor rarely had the chance to wear his clothes himself.

Originally, Li Jianguo was used to being served by palace maids and eunuchs.

However, now that he wanted to disguise himself and sneak out of the palace, he didn't want anyone else to get involved.

He could never fix this dress with laces.

After watching Empress Zhou fix her belt, he casually asked, "Are you really not going to the General's Mansion with me?"

Empress Zhou smiled and shook her head. "I won't go this time. Your Majesty, if you leave, someone will have to stay behind to take care of the others. Besides, my son still needs someone to take care of him. Your Majesty, please go and check on him for me."

"Oh, by the way, I'd like you to bring this string of Buddhist beads to Princess Anguo. I requested it specifically for her. Now that she's awake, it's time to give it to her."

Queen Zhou was also happy from the bottom of her heart that Song Qingci had awakened.

These days, not to mention other people, even she kneels in front of the Bodhisattva every day to pray for blessings.

I just hope that Princess Anguo can turn the bad luck into good luck.

Now, I finally got what I wanted.

After His Majesty leaves, she will go to the Bodhisattva to fulfill her vow.

Li Jianguo took the Buddhist beads and agreed with a smile.

When Li Jianguo arrived at the general's mansion, he found that the originally deserted Chixiao Courtyard was now full of people.

Xiao Wenye, Imperial Physician Jiang Cheng, and Master Xueyi were all standing in the yard.

His arrival instantly silenced everyone in the yard.

Although they knew that His Majesty would go on a secret visit, they did not expect him to show up at this time.

Judging from the time, he must have gone straight to the general's mansion right after the morning court session.

Everyone lowered their heads and retreated in tacit understanding, forcing themselves out of a passage.

Li Jianguo walked straight in and saw that not only Song Qingci, but all the masters of the general's mansion, big and small, were in the room.

Seeing him come in, the old lady subconsciously stood up and saluted.

Li Jianguo interrupted her, saying, "I'm not here as the emperor today. Madam, there's no need to be so polite. Just treat me as an ordinary junior."

This was the first time in the old lady's life that she had heard an emperor say this. She had no idea how to respond.

Song Qingci, who was still sitting next to her, took her hand and said with a smile, "Grandma, since they have said so, then we should just follow their wishes."

The old lady's heart was comforted.

These days, she was not allowed to come to Chixiaoyuan to visit Song Qingci.

Firstly, he was afraid that the old lady could not bear it, and secondly, he was afraid of violating taboos.

There is a folk saying that elders should not visit sick or seriously injured younger generations at will, otherwise it may shorten the younger generations' lifespan.

So, after such a long time, today is the first time that the old lady has seen Song Qingci.

The old man felt sad to see his granddaughter-in-law, who used to be pretty, now looked haggard.

The appearance of His Majesty made her even more frightened.

Ah Ci is still the best. Whatever she says makes her happy.

Although there was no need to perform formalities, the old lady still consciously gave up the main seat.

This time Li Jianguo did not refuse.

After he sat down, he exchanged a few words with everyone.

The others left first with various excuses.

In the end, only the couple and Li Jianguo were left in the room.

Xiao Wenye was even more perceptive.

After His Majesty entered the house, he arranged for everyone in the yard to evacuate.

The Chixiao Courtyard finally returned to peace.
