The Queen Mother thought about it and agreed. Shen Li was here anyway and couldn't run away for a while.

Her children and grandchildren must be very worried now.

Seeing that the Queen Mother agreed, Shen Li opened the door of the bedroom.

Emperor Xuanyuan was outside, anxiously running around. When he saw Shen Li coming out, he immediately stepped forward.

"Princess Chen, how is the Queen Mother?"

Shen Li smiled indifferently, stretched out his right hand and made a "please" gesture.

The emperor took two steps at a time and walked into the empress dowager's bedroom.

Yun Chenyu, the Queen, the Crown Prince, the Imperial Physician and others also followed behind.

The emperor was relieved when he saw that the empress dowager was lying in bed in good health and her face looked much rosier.

"Mother, you are finally well!"

"I am able to recover thanks to Princess Chen!"

Emperor Xuanyuan nodded repeatedly.

When the Queen saw that the Queen Mother was cured by Shen Li, she was so angry that her face turned green.

You are already so old, why don’t you just die?

However, she still maintained her dignity and said a few nice words.

He turned around and whispered something to the palace maid Bai Zhi, and Bai Zhi quietly walked away.

At this time, the Queen Mother's youngest son, Prince Qin, also ran in hurriedly.

"Mother...Mother, what's wrong with you?"

The Prince of Qin was listening to music at Hongxiufang, a famous brothel in the capital. A palace maid had been looking for him for a long time, so he arrived late.

The Queen Mother knew that her youngest son was not doing his job all day, but who made her have a son in her old age?

The King of Qin became more and more lawless due to the pampering, and spent all his time hanging out in brothels.

As long as you don't bring those women back, she will turn a blind eye.

The Queen Mother gave him a fierce glance and said, "You still remember to come back! I thought I would never see you for the last time!"

The King of Qin quickly covered the Queen Mother's mouth and said coquettishly, "Don't talk nonsense, Mother! If anything happens to you, I will die!"

Although the King of Qin was a playboy, he was still a filial son.

"I'm able to recover this time thanks to Princess Chen. Emperor, you must reward her well!"

The Queen Mother raised her eyes and said to Emperor Xuanyuan.

"Yes, Queen Mother."

At this time, King Qin also stood up and walked to Shen Li, taking a closer look at him.

He recognized this woman.

It was Princess Shen Li, the Princess of Chen, who overwhelmed the entire audience with her skills at the Mid-Autumn Night Banquet.

Not only is she beautiful, she is also proficient in dancing and writing poetry. Now she has such superb medical skills as well. I really didn't expect it.

The King of Qin narrowed his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.

It wasn't until Mu Xiaoxiao pulled him away from Shen Li that he was pulled away.

Immediately afterwards, the solemn and dignified voice of Emperor Xuanyuan was heard: "Princess Shen Li, the Princess of Chen, is gentle, virtuous, intelligent, and quick-witted. She has made great contributions in treating the Empress Dowager. She is specially granted the title of Princess Liyang, with an annual salary of 500 dan."

what?

When the queen heard this oral order, she was so surprised that she took several steps back.

"Your Majesty, did I hear correctly? You want to confer the title of Princess on Shen Li?"

How can this be possible!

The princess is so noble, her status is only lower than that of the princess. Shen Li, a mere adopted daughter of the prime minister, is she worthy?

Emperor Xuanyuan said firmly, "I am not kidding."

"Shen Li, why don't you quickly accept the imperial decree and express your gratitude?!" the emperor reminded.

Shen Li didn't expect that saving the empress dowager would bring him such a great reward.

As expected, the Queen Mother is the master of the harem.

It would be a waste to refuse this title. From ancient times till now, officials of higher rank have always crushed those below them. From now on, let’s see who dares to bully her!

Shen Li was about to kowtow to accept the order.

At this time, a royal physician came out.

He bowed respectfully and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to say, but I'm not sure whether I should say it or not."

Emperor Xuanyuan frowned and said, "Speak."

The imperial physician lowered his head and said, "Many people in the folk experience a brief period of renewed energy and rosy complexion before their death..."

Before the imperial physician could finish his words, Emperor Xuanyuan kicked him.

"Doctor Shit! You said the Queen Mother was having a last gasp?"

"Your humble servant...Your humble servant dare not."

The imperial physician got up from the ground and kowtowed repeatedly, "I am only speaking the truth..."

He was not telling the truth at all, he was just following someone's instructions.

Concubine Zhen couldn't bear to see Shen Li get better, so she followed up on what the imperial physician had said, "Your Majesty, even the old maids in the palace would suddenly get better when they were sick and died. We must be on guard!"

Shen Li: Beware of your mother’s fart!

The Empress Dowager is clearly getting better, but you, a bunch of jealous people, insist on saying it's just a last gasp.

At this time, several imperial doctors also stood up and agreed.

They couldn't believe it. They had clearly diagnosed that the empress dowager was beyond saving, so how could she suddenly come back to life?

If it is a last gasp, then it makes sense.

Emperor Xuanyuan had indeed heard of some cases of last gasps.

He frowned and thought for a moment: "Then wait for three more days. During these three days, Princess Chen will live in Shou'an Palace, and after three days, she will move to Qilin Palace."

"Yes."

The Queen Mother was very disgusted when she heard what these people said.

He waved his hand and drove them out of the bedroom.

Although she is old, she is not stupid and can still tell who is good and who is bad.

"Mother, please let me stay with you?" The King of Qin stepped forward and took the Queen Mother's hand and said.

"No need. Accompanying an old woman like me will only delay your outing. Let's go! Princess Chen, just stay and accompany me."

Seeing that the Queen Mother had made up her mind, the King of Qin no longer insisted and followed the crowd out.

On the way back, the queen was very angry, and Zhenfei happened to follow closely behind her.

The queen slowed down her pace and spoke in a sarcastic tone.

"Zhen Fei, you are truly blessed. You got a son for free more than a decade ago, and now you've married a smart and talented daughter-in-law. Not only does the Emperor obey her every word, but even the Empress Dowager is charmed by her. You're going to have a meteoric rise in the future!"

Concubine Zhen bowed and said, "I am terrified."

"Alright, why are you so scared? From now on, I'm the one who should be scared!"

After saying this, the queen flicked her sleeves and strode away.

Zhenfei was already full of anger and had no place to vent it.

After returning to the Weiyang Palace, he smashed a lot of things.

"That evil creature has long since severed the mother-son relationship with me. How can I rise to prominence?"

Zhenfei didn't want to say this.

If you say it out loud, you'll be slapping yourself in the face.

The personal maid Bai Lu comforted her:

"Your Majesty, don't be angry. Shen Li is just proud for a moment. Serving the emperor is like serving a tiger. If she ever makes the emperor or the queen mother unhappy, she will be the first to suffer. As for you, you still have Prince Zhao by your side."

Zhenfei thought about it and realized that this made sense.

Yin'er is her biological son.

What matters now is what Yin'er did.

Make sure everything is foolproof.

Her family background is not that good and they can't provide much help, so she has to rely on herself for everything.

Once that task is completed, Yin'er will have money and will be able to equip his own men.

When the time comes, she will replace the crown prince and ascend the throne, then she will be the empress dowager, second only to the emperor.

She wants to step on everyone under her feet and rub them hard!
