Chapter 916: The Queen Mother
Lin Zhixuan hasn't entered the palace for too long, and this palace is no longer the palace she is familiar with. This empress dowager is not the empress dowager she is familiar with.
Lin Zhixuan watched Liu Xi stare at the carriage of King Jing's Mansion all the way out of the palace, and the guards behind did not chase him out, but she was still uneasy in her heart.
Lin Zhixuan's face was as usual, and she smiled and said hello to Liuxi, "What is Aunt Liuxi going to do with such a big battle?"
Liu Xi turned back to look at Lin Zhixuan, Fang Cai even forgot to salute, and now he naturally smiled and saluted, and said to Lin Zhixuan: "There is a small palace daughter in Cining Palace who stole the bracelet of the Empress Dowager, and I saw people going back and forth and said that someone was caught, so I took someone out to take a look." ”
Lin Zhixuan sneered: "Oh, what kind of bracelet, so expensive, even Aunt Liuxi can be alarmed, and she brought so many palace daughters and guards to get people, I thought someone was going to assassinate someone." ”
Liu Xi smiled and said to Lin Zhixuan: "Niangniang said that you are laughing, please come inside, the Empress Dowager has been waiting for you for a long time." ”
Liu Xi said and led Lin Zhixuan to Cining Palace, but Liu Xi turned around when Lin Zhixuan was not paying attention, and gave the chief guard of Cining Palace a look, and the group of guards had already chased the direction of Princess Ke Chun's escape.
Lin Zhixuan only twisted her eyebrows and sighed slightly, Princess Kechun, I'm afraid I can't save it.
I just hope that Brother Shu will be fine.
It's just that the Queen Mother is Shu Ge'er's own grandmother anyway, she should, shouldn't do anything to her own grandson.
Lin Zhixuan's brows tightened, not knowing what was going on. In Cining Palace, the Empress Dowager was still the sick and weak appearance when she came to see her a few days before Wei Mingxu's birthday, but she saw that the illness was more serious than the last time.
The Empress Dowager coughed, saw Lin Zhixuan, and beckoned to Lin Zhixuan as if she was fine, and called her to come and sit by the bed.
Lin Zhixuan also looked as usual, and sat down as she said, the Queen Mother was just sickly and weak, but judging from her eyebrows and eyes, she was no different from before.
Last time, she and Shuhui stopped by to see her, and she also confessed to her, saying that she had not come to serve for so long, and it was her dereliction of duty as a daughter-in-law. But the Empress Dowager comforted her indifferently, saying that Brother Shu was the most important, Lin Zhixuan gave birth to Wei Mingxu's only son, who was the biggest hero, she had to take care of her body and take care of her son, so naturally she didn't have so much effort to go out and walk around.
just told Lin Zhixuan that if she and Brother Shu'er are in good health in the future, she must take Brother Shu into the palace to take a look at her.
The words are true, and she is an amiable old grandmother.
Lin Zhixuan is still in a trance of what happened today, and feels unbelievable.
The Empress Dowager asked, "Didn't you ask you to bring Brother Shu to me to see? Why didn't the child come?"
Lin Zhixuan didn't know how to answer at the moment, so she only said: "It was cold last night, and Brother Shu'er was uncomfortable when he got up in the morning. So I didn't bring it into the palace, and when Brother Shu'er's body was slightly better, the daughter-in-law would definitely bring it to the Queen Mother. ”
The Empress Dowager listened to Lin Zhixuan fooling herself so calmly, between her eyebrows and eyes, there was no lack of heart, and the Empress Dowager couldn't help but believe it when she looked at it and listened.
Sure enough, he is also a master of acting.
The Empress Dowager looked Lin Zhixuan up and down carefully, and just now, she heard someone report that Lin Zhixuan and Princess Kechun had met.
Lin Zhixuan also obviously entered the Shenwu Gate with the child in her arms.
Suddenly, so many things have happened and heard so many things, if she is a fool and believes in herself, the old queen mother-in-law, then she should not believe Princess Ke Chun's words, but should ignore Princess Ke Chun and come to see her with Brother Shu.
After all, it is absolutely impossible for Princess Ke Chun's brainless words to explain to Lin Zhixuan clearly, but whether Lin Zhixuan believes it or not, she should be panicked and helpless when she sees herself at this moment. Whether it was because she ordered someone to send Brother Shu out of the palace suddenly, or because she suspected that she was an old woman, it was not as simple as it seemed on the surface.
But no matter what, she shouldn't be so calm in front of herself.
The Empress Dowager coughed lightly twice and said, "Well, that child is delicate, I am sick now, and I am afraid that I will be sick to that child." It's just that it's hard for you, and you even went into the palace early in the morning to say goodbye to the mourning family, regardless of the cold weather. ”
Lin Zhixuan also smiled on her face, and said: "Isn't it exactly what a daughter-in-law should do to ask the empress dowager to say goodbye? In the past, when I was married to the prince, I often entered the palace to see the ancestors in three days, and I always led the ninth sister over, and the ninth sister lived in the palace for more than half a month, and she was more familiar with the palace than the Jingwang Mansion since she was a child. It is also because of this child that I am with my ancestors to relieve my boredom, and I am also filial piety for me and the prince.
Now, it is only because of Brother Shu'er, the daughter-in-law is weak, and when she was pregnant with Brother Shu'er, she was uncomfortable in every way, so she neglected etiquette and did not enter the palace to greet the Queen Mother. Now that Brother Shu is slightly better, the daughter-in-law should naturally come to the palace from time to time to greet the Queen Mother and listen to the Queen Mother's teachings. ”
The Empress Dowager sighed and said, "Okay, it's naturally good that you can come to accompany the mourning family more, but I'm afraid that the mourning family doesn't have many days to let you accompany you." ”
Liu Xi brought the tea and served it to Lin Zhixuan, who suddenly remembered the words of Princess Fang Cai Kechun.
Looking at this cup of tea, I was a little hesitant.
The Empress Dowager also stared at Lin Zhixuan's actions quietly, and said with a pleasant face: "This is the newly paid maple dew tea outside, don't you want to taste it?"
Lin Zhixuan took it, silently thinking in her heart, and gently skimmed the tea leaves with the teacup lid, which was then sent to her mouth, but Lin Zhixuan only made a show, and the tea didn't touch her lips at all, so she put it down, and said to the Queen Mother with a smile: "It's really good tea." ”
The Empress Dowager naturally saw Lin Zhixuan's precautions, there were some things, since Lin Zhixuan had doubts in her heart, if she was allowed to go back to her house today, she would naturally not say anything to Wei Mingxu.
And once Wei Mingxu is aware, then Wei Mingxu will definitely come to him, the queen mother, to get to the bottom of it.
This is the last thing the Empress Dowager wants to see, besides, she called Lin Zhixuan over today, one is to get rid of the little doll Brother Shu. Since Liu Xi let people out, it must have been perfect.
The other is to discuss with Lin Zhixuan the countermeasures to get out in front of Wei Mingxu.
The Empress Dowager didn't want to continue to play dumb riddles with Lin Zhixuan.
