Traveling to the ancient harem

Chapter 729 The Stubborn Queen Mother

Cining Palace.

Xu Rou cried so hard that she almost fainted twice.

Although the empress dowager hated her viciousness, her surname was Xu after all, and she was her own niece.

"You also know... how much the Queen hates my Cining Palace... Even if I ask her for the antidote, she may not pay any attention to me."

"Aunt, even if it's for Rou'er's life, please go to Ning Yuxuan..."

Xu Rou didn't dare to ask the Queen Mother to go to the Emperor.

She almost harmed the royal heir that day, and the emperor must hate her now.

The only person she could ask for help was the Queen Mother.

"Shi Cairen, what do you think about this matter?"

The Queen Mother has always been at a loss as to what to do. She looked at Shi Yaoyao and asked.

"Your Majesty, I don't have any good ideas..."

Shi Yaoyao's voice was trembling, which showed that she was extremely scared.

"Shi Yaoyao, help me think of a solution. You haven't dealt with the queen yet, so she won't do anything to you."

Xu Rou looked at Shi Yaoyao as if she were looking at a life-saving straw.

"Your Highness, I really can't think of anything... I'm very scared."

Now, Shi Yaoyao really wants to say goodbye to the Queen Mother and go back.

But her legs were so weak that she couldn't stand up.

"Useless things…"

The Queen Mother was also very disappointed when she saw Shi Yaoyao's useless appearance.

What kind of people are these two people that she values? Each one is more timid than the other.

Forget it, for Rouer's sake, she should shamelessly go to Ning Yuxuan.

Ningyuxuan.

Huang Ye's due date is in these few days, so two midwives and two wet nurses are on standby at Ning Yuxuan.

These midwives and wet nurses were all carefully selected and sent here by Huang, the chief steward of the Imperial Household Department.

Because the Queen's childbirth is the most important issue and there can be no mistakes.

Huang Ye was now leaning against the head of the bed, chatting with the emperor who was sitting beside the bed.

Hongdou and Fanghua were also sitting in the room, occasionally interjecting a word or two.

In short, everything here seems so peaceful and tranquil.

Unfortunately, this harmonious scene was broken by the arrival of the Queen Mother.

"Your Majesty, the Queen, and the Empress Dowager are here."

Xiaoyinzi, who was waiting outside the door, saw the empress dowager coming in from the gate and hurried in to report.

"What is she doing here at this time?"

The emperor didn't think that his mother came here to care about the queen.

He instinctively felt that his mother was here to cause trouble again.

So he patted the back of Huang Ye's hand soothingly, and then instructed Fanghua and Hongdou.

"You two should serve the queen well and don't scare her."

After saying this, he walked out of the bedroom.

When the emperor came out, he saw the empress dowager had just walked into the corridor.

"Mother, if you have anything to say, please go to the small living room and talk."

The emperor was not polite to the empress dowager, and he didn't even give her a perfunctory greeting.

The Queen Mother dared not disobey the Emperor's wishes now.

Not to mention that she needed help today, so she was particularly cooperative.

"Mother, why did you come to Ningyuxuan today?"

After the Queen Mother sat down, the Emperor went straight to the point.

"Your Majesty, Rou'er has been poisoned. I came here to ask the Queen's master for help..."

The Queen Mother did not say anything roundabout.

Between mother and son, they had long since discarded all those hypocritical courtesies and had become more straightforward in their conversations.

"poisoned?"

The emperor was a little surprised.

Obviously, he didn't know about this.

"Yes, Rou'er has been poisoned and is now in critical condition. I am her only relative in the palace, and I cannot stand by and watch her die."

The emperor already understood by now.

The Emperor also heard from Eunuch Yu that Xu Rou wanted to murder the Queen and her son.

At that time, he wished he could beat Xu Rou up and lock her up in the Ministry of Punishment.

It was the Queen who advised him not to get involved in the matter and to avenge herself.

Xu Rou is now poisoned, and it is obviously the Queen's doing.

He couldn't ruin the queen's business.

"Please go back, mother. Even if you beg the nun, she won't save you. She knows what Concubine Xu has done."

The emperor spoke to the queen mother expressionlessly.

"Your Majesty, Rou'er is your cousin..."

The Queen Mother couldn't help but scream.

"Rou'er is not only your cousin, she is also your concubine. Are you just going to watch her die?"

"cousin…"

The emperor's face also darkened.

"Go ask her what good things she has done in the past? She wants to kill my child... If it weren't for my mother's sake, how could I let her go?"

The Queen Mother also knew that Xu Rou almost harmed the Queen and her son.

She felt sorry for it at that time.

Unfortunately, Xu Rou was not strong enough and failed to kill the queen.

"Then the queen is fine, isn't she? Rou'er's life is hanging by a thread now."

The Queen Mother softened her tone.

"Even if the Queen Mother begs you, you are the Emperor, and that nun...she wouldn't dare to disobey you."

"Please go back, mother. You have to let the queen get rid of this anger."

Didn’t the emperor think that poisoning was just to make Xu Rou suffer a little?

After the Queen has vented her anger, she will naturally help her detoxify.

"Your Majesty...human life is at stake..."

The Queen Mother didn't dare to lose her temper with the Emperor, she could only beg.

"Your Majesty, do you also know that human life is of paramount importance? When Concubine Xu killed the Queen, it was… two lives. Did you say anything to her at that time?"

The anger in the emperor's heart was boiling over.

"I...I have scolded her before."

The Queen Mother defended herself guiltily.

In fact, she did scold Xu Rou, but the meaning of the scolding was different.

She was scolding Xu Rou for being useless at that time.

Scolding her not only did not hurt anyone, but instead gave people something to hold against them.

"Mother, please go back to your Cining Palace. Don't interfere in this matter..."

The emperor could see that the empress dowager was feeling guilty.

After she arrived at Ningyuxuan, she had not asked a single question to the Queen and her unborn grandson.

Where did she get the confidence to ask me to let go of the vicious Xu Rou?

It has to be said that the Queen Mother succeeded in making the Emperor angry.

In the past, the emperor could be said to have had a little bit of goodwill towards Xu Rou.

Now, because of what she did, all her energy has been completely wasted.

"Your Majesty...Even if Rou'er did something wrong, for the sake of your maternal family..."

Thinking of Xu Rou's haggard appearance, the Queen Mother felt a rare pang of heartache.

She decided to ask the emperor for help again.

"Please go back, mother."

The Emperor has completely lost his patience with the Queen Mother.

He stood up and walked out without even looking at the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother was so angry at the Emperor's rudeness that she was gasping for breath.

The emperor hadn't agreed to her request yet, and he just left like that...

What about her Rouer?

Are we just going to watch her die in torture?

Thinking of this, the Queen Mother's stubbornness came back.

She went straight to the queen's bedroom.

She wanted to talk to the Queen directly about this matter.

Unfortunately, Eunuch Yu was guarding the door.
