Chapter 219 The Regent's Stepmother

Aunt Sizhu was dragged into the darkroom, and the guards tied her to the wooden bed.

Aunt Sizhu begged the guard, "Please, send a message to the prince, saying that Aunt Sizhu didn't die because of him, I was just tired and didn't want to live anymore."

She knew that the noble concubine would definitely tell the prince that she died because of him, and she didn't want the prince to feel guilty or suffer.

In this life, she has done many things wrong, and today's end is what she deserves. She just wants to do something for the child who was grinning in her arms at the end. I would like him to bear anything.

At the same time, the noble concubine entered the palace again, please play the Empress Dowager Ming, and it was written on the imperial jade certificate in the inner palace that Murong Jie had a foster mother, Aunt Sizhu.

The Empress Dowager knew that Si Zhu had always loved Murong Jie very much, and also knew that the Concubine Gui was very dependent on Aunt Si Zhu, and thought that this was her exchange condition, so she made an exception and asked the inner government to add Aunt Si Zhu and Murong Jie to the jade certificate. For the foster mother.

This is the first precedent for a servant girl to be on the royal jade document since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

The Empress Dowager felt that Sizhu deserved this honor, and she didn't care if it could calm the Empress Dowager's heart.

It never occurred to her that this woman who had the honor of being the first in the Great Zhou Dynasty had already died in the Regent's Mansion.

When Murong Jie came back that day, the Concubine Gui ordered someone to tell him that Aunt Sizhu was already his adoptive mother, and she had entered the palace to ask for a performance. Murong Jie didn't think it mattered, he respected Aunt Sizhu very much.

Xiao Tuo and Su Qing came back with him, and the three of them looked quite depressed, because Wang Yu's condition was very bad. Although he was put to sleep with a needle, he couldn't drink water, eat anything, and couldn't bear it. of.

Before returning, they also went to the Prime Minister's Mansion to find Zi'an.

Zian suggested to increase the ingredients of the drug and force him to drink some soup when he was drowsy.

Murong Jie gave orders, but everyone knew in their hearts that it was just delaying time and would not help his condition in the slightest.

"This king went to meet the emperor today." Murong Jie said to Su Qing and Xiao Tuo after sitting down.

The two looked shocked, "Really?"

They had speculated privately before that the emperor might have died, but the empress dowager allowed him to go in to see the emperor, which meant that the emperor was still alive.

"Yes!" Murong Jie said solemnly.

"How is the emperor?" Su Qing asked.

"I woke up today," Murong Jie recalled when he went to Xiwei Palace to see him today, and finally understood why the Empress Dowager did not allow anyone to see the emperor, "The situation is not very good, but I spoke to the king a few words."

"say what?"

"I didn't say anything, I just asked about the situation in the court. He is not in good spirits, so I can only listen to what this king has to say." Murong Jie replied after taking a sip of tea.

Su Qing asked: "Can Miss Xia go to treat the emperor?"

"No!" Murong Jie flatly refused, "No need."

Su Qing and Xiao Tuo looked at each other with puzzled expressions.

"Forget it, you guys go back, I also have some things to be quiet."

"Aren't you going to see Aunt Sizhu? She is your stepmother now." Xiao Tuo asked.

"I won't go today. I'm worried. I don't want her to worry. I'll go to greet her tomorrow morning."

"Are you afraid of seeing the Concubine Gui? Right now she must be serving the Concubine Gui. She will go to the garden to cut flowers tomorrow morning. Do you want to see her then?" Su Qing recognized her at a glance. Put on.

"Is it annoying?" Murong Jie gave them a displeased look.

Xiao Tuo turned and left, "I'm a little annoyed, I won't accompany you to dinner tonight, I have an appointment with Chen Liuliu."

"Ah?" Su Qing pulled him back, "You just returned to Beijing yesterday and you dated her today? Don't you?"

"What are you thinking? I want to introduce a man to him." Xiao Tuo said, and left on his own.

"I'll go too, take me with you." Su Qing quickly chased after her.

A smug smile flashed in Xiao Tuo's eyes, that's right, I want you to follow.

Where did Su Qing think that Xiao Tuo, who is so stubborn, would also be distracted?

Speaking of which, Nanny Yang also entered the palace today to meet the empress.

"Did Xia Zian talk about King Liang's illness?" the queen asked.

Nanny Yang said: "Go back to the empress, every time the eldest lady goes to see His Highness for treatment, she will tell her when she comes back that His Highness is doing well now, so the eldest lady said that she is going to treat his leg injury."

"Can she be said to be sure? Ben Gong has never trusted her very much." At first, the queen really pinned all her hopes on Xia Zi'an, but after a while she calmed down, she felt that such confidence was absurd, and Not to mention the illnesses there, just talking about the legs, he has been bad for many years, except for the imperial doctor in the palace, he has also been treated by the so-called miraculous doctors in the folk, but there is no effect, can she cure it?

Nanny Yang replied respectfully: "Miss said that the leg injury is an old problem, and it will take a lot of effort to treat it, but it is not incurable."

The queen felt relieved when she heard this, and asked again: "The prime minister's mansion has been quite noisy recently, what do you think about these things?"

Nanny Yang's heart skipped a beat, the Queen's questioning like this proves that she has begun to distrust her.

"Returning to the Empress, the servants rarely ask about these things in the prime minister's mansion, and Miss Xia will not order the servants to do other things, but just serve them closely. Therefore, the servants can't tell what happened in the mansion. I feel that the struggle between their father and daughter seems to be endless, but this servant hopes to calm down for a while, and let the eldest lady heal His Highness first, then, even if they fight to the death, it has nothing to do with this servant."

She knew that what the empress wanted to ask was her opinion on these things, which meant who she thought was right and who was wrong, and who she thought she was on.

Therefore, she must remain neutral.

When necessary, she would even criticize the eldest lady, because the empress doesn't care who is right or who is wrong. In the harem, there are always many people who don't care about right and wrong, they only care about standing.

The queen was very satisfied with Nanny Yang's answer, "Very well, you are trying to keep Xia Zian in the mansion, and I will tell my father not to cooperate with the Prime Minister's mansion to persecute Xia Zian for now, and wait until Xia Zian heals King Liang before talking about other things. "

"Yes, servants, remember." Nanny Yang said.

"Well, you are in the palace tonight. I have something to ask you for a while, so go." The queen said.

"Yes, the servant will leave!" Nanny Yang bowed and left.

The queen's voice came from behind her, a little cold, "You've been outside the palace for a long time, it's best to remember your identity clearly, and don't be confused by others."

Nanny Yang turned her head and looked at the queen slightly surprised, "Your Majesty, what do you mean?"

The queen stared at her for a long time, "You understand."

Nanny Yang pretended to be puzzled, "Your Majesty, is it because the servants were not careful? Because the crown prince and the Taifu were also present, the servants didn't know what the empress meant, so they didn't help Miss Xia. Forgive me!"

"It's okay, you can go." The queen finally waved her off and sent her away.
