Harem Daily Life

Chapter 376 The Emperor Awakens

Upon hearing what the Queen Mother said, the minister immediately apologized: "Please forgive me, Queen Mother, I didn't mean that. I just think that it is more appropriate for Your Majesty to come forward regarding the matter concerning the Queen, so that people outside will not speculate that there is a rift between the Queen Mother and the Queen, and that the Queen Mother wants to depose her and appoint the Shu family's daughter. After all, Concubine Shu also gave birth to a prince, and people outside will more or less think too much."

The Queen Mother sneered and said, "I see, it's not the people outside who think too much, it's you who think too much!"

The minister smiled awkwardly, his hands almost leaving afterimages.

The Queen Mother rolled her eyes at him and looked around at everyone: "Although I am also a daughter of the Shu family and a relative of Concubine Shu, I have never thought of making Concubine Shu the queen. You all don't need to think too much, let alone think about the Shu family."

The Queen Mother was so annoyed. Even if she wanted to make Concubine Shu the Queen, her own son didn't want to! It was already very good to be able to leave Concubine Shu with a child. If Concubine Shu was made Queen at this time, her son would probably be afraid of the Shu family, which would completely freeze the relationship between her son and the Shu family.

At this time, a minister from the Ministry of Revenue stepped out and said, "I think that Concubine Tao is beautiful and intelligent, smart and witty, and quite talented. She is also raising three royal heirs and is very favored by Your Majesty. If we are to talk about the choice of the empress, Concubine Tao is very suitable."

As soon as he said this, everyone started talking.

"Princess Tao is young and her family background is ordinary, so she is not qualified to be the queen."

"That's right. I've been in the palace for a short time and I don't have any biological children. This is not possible."

"She is suitable to be a concubine, but to be a queen... No, no, her appearance is too bright and she doesn't have the bearing of a mother of the country."

The Queen Mother listened to their gossip for a while before she raised her hand to quiet them down: "Alright, you guys have nothing better to do than to come and meddle in the Emperor's harem! The Queen will be deposed one day, it's only a matter of time. Right now the most important thing is government affairs. Go back and do your work, don't be idle all day and come to me to gossip."

The Queen Mother looked unhappy, and everyone had to leave. Although they did not achieve their respective goals, they did not gain nothing today. At least they knew the Queen Mother's attitude towards the Queen. It seemed that Queen Wang had to be deposed, and the fate of the Earl Wang Mansion had come to an end. With a deposed Queen in the family, the family's reputation would not be as bright and beautiful as before.

After the ministers left, the Queen Mother looked at the memorials on the table and felt a headache. She rubbed her forehead and said tiredly: "I didn't expect that I would have to suffer the hardships of government in my later years. What a hard life!"

Eunuch Qin poured her a cup of tea and advised: "The more capable you are, the more work you should do. It is thanks to the Queen Mother that she has protected the Zhou Dynasty for Your Majesty. When Your Majesty wakes up, the Queen Mother will have less to worry about."

As soon as he finished speaking, a young eunuch came hurriedly to report that the emperor had woken up!

The empress dowager was overjoyed and hurried to Changle Palace in a sedan chair.

He Linzhang was half lying on the bed, and Tao Yanyan was feeding him white porridge.

"Your Majesty has just woken up, so you can't eat anything too greasy. Eat some porridge and some side dishes to nourish your stomach. If you feel better in two days, I will make you some nourishing food."

He Linzhang looked at the haggard concubine in front of him, stretched out his hand and gently pinched her face: "I was in a coma for the past few days, thank you for your hard work! By the way, are the children okay? Is their fever gone? Yue'er... this child is pitiful, thank you for your hard work to accompany her more."

Tao Yanyan glared at him and said, "All three babies have recovered from their illnesses, but if you want to talk about pitiful people, all three of them are pitiful."

Little Jin'an was separated from his biological mother since birth and became a beggar on the street, which was so pitiful that it made people feel sad.

The eldest princess's biological mother, Mrs. Wen, was dying. She had lost her mother at such a young age, and Tao Yanyan had been thinking about taking her to see Mrs. Wen in the next few days.

The second princess was manipulated by the queen, but she knew the truth. The little girl was forced to find her own way out. She pretended to be stupid to escape from her biological mother and came to Tao Yanyan.

Although the royal heir is an expert at reincarnation, born into a wealthy and powerful royal family, a rare talent among men, and invaluable, the three little ones are indeed pitiful little ones.

He Linzhang naturally knew what Tao Yanyan meant, but he didn't respond, and he couldn't respond.

In those days, Yin Jieyu's family participated in the rebellion and was executed. Little Jin'an lost his mother since he was a child. As for Wen Shi, He Linzhang was not completely ruthless to her, but what Wen Shi did was really unforgivable, so he could not pardon her.

Because he remembered everything about Concubine Yin and Wen Shi, He Linzhang suddenly realized that his memory had been restored!

Unexpectedly, the stimulation from the Queen caused him to develop disgust towards her, and actually detoxified the amnesia pill.

However, he did not say it out loud. Instead, he tried to think about other people, and he could remember them all very clearly, so he felt relieved.

He was about to tell Tao Yanyan when Tao Yanyan put down the bowl of porridge she had finished drinking, took out a handkerchief to wipe his mouth, and said, "Your Majesty has been in a coma for the past few days. I was really worried. The Queen Mother went to court to handle state affairs for Your Majesty and was very tired. I was very tired worrying about Your Majesty all day long."

He Linzhang clenched her hand distressedly: "Thank you for your hard work, Yan Yan."

Tao Yanyan smiled and said, "As long as Your Majesty can get better, everything will be worth it. Your Majesty doesn't know that you fainted in Fengyi Palace that day, and the Queen didn't let me take you away. I was scared at the time. Fortunately, I took out the token you gave me and ordered the guards to move. Otherwise, Your Majesty might not be able to see me when he wakes up."

He Linzhang narrowed his eyes. He was an emperor who was very good at political politics. He naturally knew that if Concubine Tao had not forcibly taken away that day, the Queen would probably have secretly kept herself from waking up in order to secure her position!

By then, the Queen will be in power, which will be a devastating disaster for Concubine Tao, who once had a dispute with her and knows what she has done!

"You were scared that night, weren't you? He Linzhang gently hugged her into his arms: "It's all my fault? Everything started because of me. When I get better, I'll solve the Queen's problem."

The two hugged each other, and Tao Yanyan's tense mood of the past few days finally relaxed.

"Zhang'er, Zhang'er!" Tao Yanyan heard the voice before seeing the person. As soon as she heard the Queen Mother's voice, she immediately escaped from He Linzhang's arms and stood aside obediently with her ears red.

He Linzhang looked at her with amusement, calmed himself down, and then saw the empress dowager walking in hurriedly.

"I'm sorry for making you worry. You've been busy these days." He Linzhang was deeply moved when the mother and son met again.

The Queen Mother said with relief: "It's good that you woke up, it's good that you woke up! By the way, I have already downgraded the Duke's Mansion to the Earl's Mansion, and also confiscated the Queen's jade seal and golden book. As for the matter of deposing the Queen, I will wait until you wake up to deal with it."
