The elevator takes me to find supplies for the motherland

After Peacock came out of the Cining Palace, he quickly flew back to the Observatory with the two of them.

As soon as Peacock and the others landed, White Tiger and the others came over.

"How is it? What is the Queen Mother's attitude?"

"It should be no problem. He even asked me to make more pills for His Majesty today. It seems that he agrees to help us."

"That's good. With the Queen Mother's help, we can speed up the progress of our affairs."

"indeed"

Peacock glanced around but didn't see the Seventh Princess Mo Li.

"Where is Qiqihar? Why isn't he exercising in the yard?"

"The Queen Mother is back in the palace, and all the princesses are going over there to greet her. Didn't you see him?"

"No, when I got there I went in to see the Queen Mother and didn't look anywhere else."

Peacock thought about it and was still worried, so he asked Chameleon to put an invisibility talisman on him and go to the Seventh Princess to protect her secretly to prevent any accidents.

Inside the Cining Palace

After Peacock left, the atmosphere between the Empress and the Queen Mother became even colder. The two of them sat there sipping tea, neither wanting to pay attention to the other.

At this time, the eunuch who served the empress dowager came over and reminded quietly.

"Queen Mother, you haven't met the princesses and princes yet!"

The eunuch reminded the Queen Mother that she had not yet checked on the Seventh Princess' current situation and wondered if she was worthy of being crowned the Emperor.

"Let them in"

"Emperor Xuan's daughter and the prince come to see him"

A group of children walked into the hall in an orderly manner.

"Greetings to the Imperial Grandfather. May he be blessed as vast as the East Sea and live forever."

"Be good, get up and let me see you."

The Queen Mother looked at the Empress's children and couldn't help but shook her head in her heart.

(Alas, these poor children have been led astray by this foolish emperor. Look at these young children, but most of them have cruel and cunning faces. There are only a few who look decent.)

The Queen Mother looked again and saw the princess standing in the front shaking her head inwardly.

(This child is completely useless. I heard from my sister that this princess has become more and more unruly in recent years. She hangs out with men in the palace every day, just like her heartless mother.)

No matter what the Queen Mother thought, she always looked at the children with a smile on her face.

"Princess, come and let Grandfather see if you have grown taller?"

"Grandfather, why did you stay at the Taoist temple for so long? Your granddaughter misses you."

"My royal grandfather went to the Taoist temple to pray for our Fanghua Nation, so of course he had to stay there for a while. How have your studies been in recent years?"

The princess touched her nose guiltily.

"Not bad, not bad. The tutors always praise me for my intelligence."

"That's good, that's good"

The Queen Mother turned her gaze to the Seventh Princess standing at the back.

"Seventh Brother, come here and let me take a look."

The Seventh Princess, supported by her servant, walked slowly to the Queen Mother and knelt down to pay her respects.

"Greetings to the Emperor Grandfather"

"How's your health been these past few years? Is it getting better?"

"Replying to the Emperor, it's still the same as before. You can't do any strenuous exercise. You can only take a few slow steps."

The Seventh Princess was thinking about the instructions given by the Imperial Master.

(My master told me not to show that I was getting better outside. I had to continue to breathe heavily with every step I took, just like before. That way, the other princesses would let down their guard against me.)

When the Queen Mother saw him like this, she frowned tightly.

(Didn't the Imperial Preceptor send word that the Seventh Princess' health had improved? Why is she still so frail? I guess I'll have to send someone to ask the Imperial Preceptor later.)

"Since you're not feeling well, go back and rest. Don't join them here."

"Yes, granddaughter, take your leave."
