Playing bad and eating melons: The whole court is laughing? No, no

When Guo Yuanzheng heard that the Queen Mother wanted to live, he said nothing.

Gu Ling'er walked towards her step by step. When she reached the bed, she said calmly, "Empress Dowager, your illness has damaged your liver. It's almost impossible to cure it."

Hearing this, the Queen Mother subconsciously wanted to scold them, but then she changed her mind and realized that she still had to rely on them for treatment, so she endured it.

She forced a smile and said amiably, "Miss Ling'er is from Yaoling Valley. She has superb medical skills. There must be a way."

"My abilities are limited, and there's really nothing I can do."

The Queen Mother slowly grasped the mattress, suppressing her anger, "Is my illness really incurable?"

"I can't cure it anyway." Gu Linger said bluntly.

Guo Yuanzheng secretly tugged at her clothes, signaling her to speak more tactfully.

Gu Ling'er ignored her and continued, "All we can do is try to make you feel better."

"Forget it, maybe this is my fate."

That's what she said, but she didn't think so in her heart. Earlier, she heard that Jiang Yueyang had a way to save her.

As long as she waits for the emperor to calm down and coaxes him, he will definitely let Jiang Yueyang save her!

From childhood to adulthood, the emperor cared about her as a mother.

***

Early the next morning, the empress dowager ordered someone to deliver Emperor Yuan's favorite snacks before he went to court.

At noon, she ordered someone to deliver lunch.

In the evening, she sent someone to invite Emperor Yuan to have dinner at Shoukang Palace, and also sent a letter expressing her guilt.

Emperor Yuan ignored it, remained indifferent to the affairs of Shoukang Palace, and never asked about the empress dowager's illness.

On the second day, the Queen Mother continued to send snacks and meals, and letters were also delivered one after another.

Emperor Yuan couldn't help but read the letter. The contents of the letter mentioned how he had insisted on sleeping with the Empress Dowager when he was a child, how the Empress Dowager had taken care of him all night when he was sick, and how he and the Empress Dowager had played together...

In short, these were the few warm moments between him and the Queen Mother.

Emperor Yuan knew that the Queen Mother had ulterior motives in everything she did, and it was definitely not because of love for him or guilt.

But memories flooded back like a tide, and his heart was still a little shaken. After all, those warm moments had really existed.

He remembered his mother's gentle smile, caring words and warm embrace when he was a child.

Those few warm moments kept appearing in his mind like a movie.

Just when he was about to be overwhelmed by memories, the words the Queen Mother said to him yesterday suddenly rang in his ears.

The heart that had just softened became hard again, and a high wall fortress was built outside.

He ordered in a cold voice: "From now on, there is no need to hand over anything sent from Shoukang Palace to me."

Hearing this, Li Fuquan on the side quickly glanced at his face and replied "yes".

Meanwhile, in Shoukang Palace, the Empress Dowager's condition worsened, with pain in the liver area and ascites.

Gu Ling'er gave her acupuncture to relieve the pain, and it took a lot of effort to make her feel a little better.

I saw her lying on the bed with a pale face, her hair soaked with sweat, and she dared not move.

Gu Ling'er wrote a prescription and gave it to Guo Yuanzheng before going to the side hall to rest.

If the Empress Dowager's illness was not rare and worthy of research, she would have wanted to leave.

Dean Guo watched her leave without saying anything, and only ordered someone to quickly get the medicine and boil it.

After the medicine was boiled and brought over, the palace maid fed it to the empress dowager, and then Guo Yuanzheng went down to rest.

As soon as Guo Yuanzheng left, the Empress Dowager called the head aunt over and asked, "What's going on with the Emperor?"

The aunt in charge shook her head, her meaning was self-evident.

The Queen Mother pondered for a moment and then said, "Send someone to summon Jiang Yueyang to the palace and tell them that the Emperor sent her to treat me. Keep away from the Emperor's people."

"promise."

Afterwards, the aunt in charge went down and ordered someone to go to the Supervisory Office to summon Jiang Yueyang into the palace.

At this time, Jiang Yueyang was sitting in Lu Yunting's study choosing their wedding invitations.

Lu Yunting personally designed more than a dozen invitations and asked Jiang Yueyang to pick one she liked.

"Yangyang, which one do you like?"

Jiang Yueyang looked at him with a smile and asked, "Did you make these invitations yourself?"

"Ah."

“Isn’t it too ugly?”

Jiang Yueyang shook her head, "No, they all look great. I don't know which one to choose."

"Pick the one you like."

"Hmm..." Jiang Yueyang's eyes swept back and forth over the dozen invitations, and finally picked up one, "Then this one will do."

She chose an invitation with their miniature portraits on the outside and pear blossoms on the inside.

Lu Yunting's mouth curled up slightly, "Okay, let's use this for our wedding invitation."

"This is such a beautiful painting. Who drew it?" Jiang Yueyang gently brushed past the two little figures on the invitation.

"I."

"You drew this?" Jiang Yueyang was slightly surprised.

Lu Yunting smiled slightly, "Surprised? You think a military commander can't paint?"

"No, I just didn't expect your painting skills to be so good."

“Is it really a good painting?”

Jiang Yueyang nodded affirmatively, "Very good, the pear blossoms are so realistic that they seem to move. However, your painting is so beautiful that the person who made the invitations will probably find it difficult to replicate it."

"I drew it myself."

"What?" Jiang Yueyang was surprised again.

Lu Yunting reached out and gently pinched her cheek, "I will make our wedding invitations myself."

"Too much."

Although there was a high degree of overlap in the guests invited by the two families, they still had to send out invitations separately.

The two families had at least two hundred invitations combined, and the artwork on the invitations was so exquisite, so you can imagine the workload.

Lu Yunting shook his head. "Not much. If possible, I hope everyone in the capital can receive our invitation."

"Ayue~"

Jiang Yueyang felt warm in her heart, she knew she had made the right choice. To have such a good man was enough for her life.

After an unknown amount of time, Guyu came home and said that Emperor Yuan had sent someone to summon her to the palace to treat the Empress Dowager.

Jiang Yueyang sighed inwardly. His Majesty still hadn't made up his mind. Unfortunately, she didn't want to save the Queen Mother.

But whether she wanted to save him or not, she still had to go to the palace.

Therefore, after saying goodbye to Lu Yunting, she went into the palace with the people sent by the palace.

Soon, she arrived at the palace gate.

Unfortunately, as soon as she entered the palace gate, she met Emperor Yuan who was about to leave the palace to relax.

Both of them were stunned when they saw each other.

Emperor Yuan was surprised that Jiang Yueyang entered the palace at this time, because she would never enter the palace again after leaving the court.

Even if it was a matter of life and death, she would wait until tomorrow to discuss it.

Jiang Yueyang felt strange. His Majesty summoned her to the palace to treat the Queen Mother. Shouldn't she be staying in Shoukang Palace at this time?

"His Majesty."

"Jiang Yueyang."

The two of them spoke together.

After a pause, Emperor Yuan spoke again: "Jiang Yueyang, why did you enter the palace?"

"Didn't His Majesty summon me to the palace to treat the Empress Dowager?" Jiang Yueyang looked puzzled.

Emperor Yuan understood that the Empress Dowager falsely conveyed his order to summon Jiang Yueyang to the palace to treat her illness.

The Queen Mother knew that Jiang Yueyang could cure her illness. If Jiang Yueyang said that he couldn't cure it, she might not know what to do.

Thinking of this, he said with a cold face: "I want to go out of the palace to watch a play, you come with me."

"The Queen Mother..."

"Director Guo will take good care of it."
