Xie Mulin couldn't hear about Zhu Rui for a long time, and he was a little worried about it.

Although she knew that Zhu Rui would not be in danger, she would be worried about the situation of the Four Princes.

The poison in his body should be able to be removed, right? It won't leave any sequelae on the body, right? Zhu Rui should have successfully found the medical book that recorded the poison, right? Did the detoxifying herbs she had collected earlier help the Four Princes?

There was no news from the Yanwang Mansion for a long time, and even the county lord of Yongping stayed in the Forbidden City every day and did not come to the Xie family again. Now Xie Mulin has no source at all, except for some gossip from his parents and family, so he can only sit at home and worry secretly.

Xie Pu didn't show any abnormalities on his face, Wen thought that the Queen Mother was really sick during the trip, and made an appointment with several familiar official wives to pray for the Queen Mother in the temple. She didn't know that the Four Princes were also here, and when he was still on the way from Putuo Mountain to Beiping, sometimes she would sigh: "The Four Princes are still children, and in this summer, they have to travel thousands of miles to Beiping, it's really hard!" The Queen Mother took a boat to walk the canal, and no matter how urgent she was all the way, the waterway was also stable. But if the four princes came by land on fast horses, it would be too much of a sin! ”

Xie Xianzhi and Xie Yinghui both feel the same way. Xie Yinghui also showed a worried expression: "His Royal Highness was not very healthy when he was a child, and Qiao Meiren had to sue him for three days. Can he really hold up to this long journey? Why did the emperor let him suffer this crime? I really can't rest assured that the Queen Mother's illness can also send the children of the clan to come over? Besides, according to my idea, the prince should show his face and show his filial piety in this kind of thing. Since he insists on relying on the throne of the prince and refuses to give in, he should also let people see, in addition to coveting beauty and spoiling concubines and destroying his wife, he can also have some real benefits, worthy of the honor of the prince! Otherwise, the holy family asked his younger brother to go, and his filial piety also lost to his younger brother, what else can he compare with others?! Is it better than his own mother who can die for him, or is it better than his uncle's family who is jealous of the emperor?! ”

Both Wen and Xie Xianzhi showed uneasy expressions, Xie Mulin coughed hurriedly, gave the eldest sister a look, and found an excuse to divert the conversation: "Recently, there have been rumors in Beiping City, and there are all kinds of things. But I see that the Yanwang Mansion is quite stable, except for not revealing any news, there is no panic. I guess the Queen Mother's condition shouldn't be very serious, right? Otherwise, where can the Yan Wang family still care about going back to the palace every day? I have long stayed in Cining Palace to serve the sick day and night! Although it was built as a royal palace, it can only be regarded as a palace now, and there are no harem concubines, so the access control is not so strict. ”

Xie Yinghui thought about it and was a little skeptical: "But if the Empress Dowager's illness is not serious, why don't King Yan's family mention it?" Even if you just ask the house doctor to come forward and say a word, the Tao is that the Queen Mother's condition has stabilized, and it won't lead to rumors flying all over the sky? ”

Xie Mulin estimated that the Yan Wang family might not be able to take care of this matter. It seems that the treatment of the fourth prince is not very smooth, and I don't know if Zhu Rui has returned......

Wen listened silently, and felt that he should go to the governor's wife to find out. When the governor's wife was in the capital, she also followed her mother-in-law to be a frequent visitor to the queen mother's palace, so on the second day after the queen mother arrived in Beiping, the governor's wife sent a post to the Forbidden City, asking for a meeting. Although she has never been able to get permission, she has never been less than a day, and occasionally she can meet with the palace people sent by Cining Palace to spread the word, and she may be able to get some news there, but I don't know.

It's not that the Wen family wants to hear about the forbidden matter, but the Queen Mother's condition and safety are very important, and she also has to consider the marriage of her eldest son Xie Xianzhi......

The governor's wife has always been very polite to Wen. Since the title of Zhu Rui Yong'an County King was decided, the attitude of their husband and wife has become more polite. Unlike others who lament or ridicule Zhu Rui for failing to become the prince of King Yan, the governor and his wife have their own conjectures about Zhu Rui's identity, firmly believing that he will become the future master of King Yan's Mansion sooner or later, and the king of Yong'an is only the first step. Therefore, they did not dare to slack off on Zhu Rui's future Yue family, even if the official rank of the governor was above Xie Pu, they would treat him with an equal attitude when they met on weekdays.

Wen personally came to the door to ask for a meeting and inquired about the Queen Mother's condition, and the governor's wife would not treat her with a perfunctory attitude towards others, but quietly told the truth: "I have never seen the Queen Mother once, I only know that the Queen Mother is ill, and I don't see the foreign ministers and officials, except for the four members of the Yan Wangfu, and I don't see other clans." However, although the expressions of the palace people around the Queen Mother were a little anxious, they were not very frightened, so I thought...... The Queen Mother's condition should not be tight. If the Yan Wang family does not leak the news to the outside world, there must be their reasons, but this kind of thing should not last long, and it is estimated that there will be an explanation in the next two days. ”

Wen solemnly thanked the governor's wife, calmed down a little, and went home, only when she got home, she heard the news from Mrs. Wan who came to the door in a hurry, and learned that Princess Yan returned to the Yan Mansion from the Forbidden City in advance today, and it seemed that she went back to rest because she was too tired, just in time for Mrs. Xu to rush to inquire about the queen mother's condition with a few female dependents of the side branch clan, and questioned when the previously rumored decree would be promulgated? Could it be that these decrees are all disguises and not true? Otherwise, the Queen Mother will be sick, and others will announce the decree, what difference will it make?

Wen and the children were taken aback when they heard Mrs. Wan's words.

Xie Mulin couldn't help but sneer: "Is Mrs. Xu crazy?" Say such things...... Other clans also let her talk nonsense? The emperor has grace, and they just wait to receive it. But the Queen Mother was sick, they didn't say more to show loyalty and filial piety, but said that when the Queen Mother was sick, she should send another person to announce the decree to them, this is for fear that the emperor will not be angry with them? ! ”

Mrs. Wan said with excitement on her face: "As soon as she said this, several clan wives who were traveling with her immediately defended it, for fear that Princess Yan would misunderstand!" All of them regretted it on their faces, and they couldn't wait to stay away from her! ”

At that time, Princess Yan was really angry, but it didn't make sense to attack Mrs. Xu on the spot. She told everyone very bluntly that the Queen Mother's condition has stabilized, and she is now sane, knowing that everyone in the clan cares about her, and she is very relieved, and plans to reward everyone. Princess Yan asked everyone to go home, because it would not be long before the queen mother's messenger would come to the door, so don't delay receiving the order.

The ladies of the clan who came to ask for questions almost instantly walked away, leaving Mrs. Xu sitting there alone and embarrassed, and Princess Yan ignored her and left to go back to the room. no longer regards her as a sister-in-law, but as an ordinary concubine in the uncle's house. How could the concubine need to deal with the concubines of other palaces?

In the end, Mrs. Xu could only leave alone. When she got home, she didn't know what her daughter and son-in-law would tell her when she heard the news!
