Nian Shilan looked at Chao Gei's happy look, so naturally he would not be disappointed. He raised his glass and drank together.
There was singing and dancing in Yikun Palace, but Jingren Palace was not so lively.
When the Queen Mother arrived at Jingren Palace, she saw Yi Xiu lying on the bed with his eyes wide open, looking at the top of the bed, wondering what he was thinking.
"You've done so much, didn't you just want the Ai family to come over? Now that the Ai family is here, don't you want to say anything?"
The Queen Mother has lived in the palace all her life, how could she not see Yi Xiu's little trick?
"aunt."
Yi Xiu knew the Queen Mother's temperament very well, so she no longer acted as strong as before. As soon as she opened her mouth, tears flowed down.
"Why,"
The Queen Mother looked at Yi Xiu and sighed and said, "Just say what you want to say?"
The queen mother thought that Yi Xiu would beg her to rescue her, but she didn't expect that she would just hold her hand and say her regrets.
"I know I was wrong. I shouldn't have ignored you at first. Now I finally wake up, but it's too late."
"No matter when you can see clearly, it's never too late."
The Queen Mother looked at Yi Xiu and said, "Now that you are in Jingren Palace, you can spend the rest of your life in peace."
"I don't want to be able to go out, I'm just an aunt."
Yi Xiu said miserably: "Now that I look like this, I only have Cuixi by my side. I don't ask for anything else. Can you find a way to bring Jianqiu back? She has been by my side since she was a child, and I have already I'm used to it, but now without her by my side, I feel uneasy everywhere."
Listening to Yi Xiu's words, the Queen Mother actually didn't understand Yi Xiu's true intention.
But if you think about it carefully, what she said is not unreasonable.
"Jianqiu is currently in the Criminal Punishment Department. It will take a lot of effort to get her out. Just wait, the Ai family will find someone to do it."
The Queen Mother did not agree too quickly, but she still gave Yi Xiu hope.
"Now that Shilan has been granted the title of Empress, you are just a commoner, so don't cause trouble anymore. If something happens again, even the Aijia won't be able to protect you."
"Don't worry, aunt. From now on, I will definitely eat fast and chant Buddha's name, and I will never cause trouble."
Although the Queen Mother said she didn't believe Yi Xiu's guarantee, she didn't believe she could do anything.
After all, now she can't even get out of Jingren Palace.
"It's your best idea."
The Queen Mother stood up and said: "The Ai family will ask Dr. Zhang to take care of your injuries. If anything happens, let Cuixi come and tell the Ai family. At other times, please don't let people leave Jingren Palace at will."
"yes."
When Yi Xiu saw that the Queen Mother had already given up her intention to save Jian Qiu, she would naturally not say anything to refute her at this time.
When the Queen Mother left, she specially called Cui Xi out to give her some instructions.
When Yi Xiu saw the Empress Dowager asking Cui Xi to go out, there was no emotion on his face, and he didn't know what he was thinking in his heart.
The Queen Mother left Jingren Palace and hurried back to Shoukang Palace.
"Queen Mother,"
Zhuxi helped the Queen Mother into the palace and said, "Why did it take you so long to go in?"
"The Division of Punishment should think of a way to get Jianqiu out."
The Queen Mother did not answer Zhu Xi's words, but said: "Shi Lan probably won't care. Just let others do it, and then send her to Jingren Palace."
"Will the queen not care?"
Zhu Xi didn't think so: "Jianqiu is the confidant of Empress Jingren Palace. Even if the Queen doesn't care, what about the Emperor? Not to mention sending her back to Jingren Palace."
The Queen Mother shook her head.
"My health is getting worse and worse. I know in my heart that my days are probably numbered. If the Ai family is gone, then Yixiu..."
"Queen Mother,"
Zhuxi interrupted the Queen Mother and said, "Don't say that. You are just suffering from a minor illness. Just take good care of it and you will be fine."
"Aijia knows her body."
The Queen Mother did not listen: "Just do as the Ai family says. If the emperor asks, just ask her to come to the Ai family."
After saying this, the Queen Mother waved her hands, as if she didn't want to say more.
Although the night was deep, the people in Yikun Palace had just dispersed.
Nian Shilan drank a lot of wine, so Songzhi asked someone to prepare sobering soup for her.
"I'll give you a massage on your head, slave. Otherwise you'll have a headache when you wake up early."
Songzhi pressed Nian Shilan's head and said, "The Queen Mother stayed in Jingren Palace for a long time. When she came out, she asked Aunt Sun to go to the Shenxing Department."
"Department of Precautionary Punishment?"
Nian Shilan originally closed his eyes but opened them: "Who is still in the Sentence Division now?"
Although Nian Shilan did not explain who he was asking, Songzhi also knew that it must be someone from Jingren Palace.
"Now only Jianqiu and Eharu are there, the others are basically gone."
What Songzhi said was already very vague. What does it mean to be gone? It is nothing more than death.
Nian Shilan understood in his heart.
I'm afraid that Yi Xiu is asking the Queen Mother to take Jian Qiu back.
Also, Nian Shilan also saw Cuixi's attitude towards Yixiu that day. How could Yixiu tolerate her?
If Jian Qiu is sent back to Jingren Palace, Yi Xiu will probably be even more uneasy.
"That's the autumn season."
Nian Shilan said something.
"I'm afraid Yi Xiu doesn't want to live a good life."
"Why did your Majesty say this?"
Songzhi said doubtfully: "If the Queen Mother sends Jianqiu back, then I'll have to think of something to do."
"What can I do?"
Nian Shilan said nonchalantly: "She is the queen mother, and I am just the queen. I can't stop her from doing what she wants to do. What's more, I don't intend to stop her."
"This servant doesn't understand what your Majesty means."
Nian Shilan looked at Songzhi's confused look and smiled: "Tell me, who does Yi Xiu trust the most?"
"Of course it's autumn."
"Then why she didn't think about rescuing Jianqiu before, but now that I have become the queen, she thinks about Jianqiu?"
Nian Shilan asked next.
"Hmph, of course I want to harm you. Who else will do her best except Jianqiu?"
Songzhi gets angry when she thinks of this.
But Nian Shilan didn't care.
"It's because she trusts Jianqiu the most, and Jianqiu is devoted to her. But the people in Jingren Palace can't protect themselves now. If they really want to harm me, do you think they will succeed?"
"Who are the guards of our Yikun Palace? Of course we won't let them succeed."
Songzhi said proudly.
"No, we still have to let them succeed."
Nian Shilan nodded Songzhi's head: "It is a serious crime to murder the queen. Even the queen mother cannot protect them."
"But if anything goes wrong, they are not worthy of your risk, Madam, are they?"
Songzhi still didn't agree.
