Chapter Twenty-Three: The Queen's Trouble
Xiao Liyue picked up the medicine bowl in her hand, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart, this Chinese medicine is really difficult to swallow, it would be great if there were a few cold capsules at this time. There is no way, who makes the current era, after all, far, far away from the era in which he lives. Xiao Liyue pinched her nose, held her breath and drank the Chinese medicine in one breath.
As soon as she swallowed the medicine, Xiao Liyue heard the sound of "The queen has arrived" at the door, and the medicine she had just swallowed almost squirted out!
Xiao Liyue and Shuang'er looked at each other, and Shuang'er saw Xiao Liyue secretly pointing in the direction of the East Palace with her finger, and immediately understood.
This queen will definitely not come to the Moon Tide Pavilion for no reason, and there will definitely be all kinds of difficulties for a while, how can they survive this catastrophe if they don't find a rescuer?
So Shuang'er took advantage of everyone's inattention and quietly retreated through the side door. As soon as she got out of the gate, Shuang'er ran away, thinking that she must hurry up and bring His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, a rescuer, or something might not happen for a while.
Xiao Liyue supported her weak body, because without Shuang'er's support, she reluctantly moved from the bed to the ground, and almost fell.
But she couldn't care so much anymore, and quickly knelt on the ground and waited for the queen to enter the door.
Since she learned the true identity of the fifth princess, she really didn't want the queen to find out the slightest fault with her. She must live well, and live well for the owner of this body, even if she lives temporarily, she will definitely not let these people who watch the excitement succeed.
As soon as the queen entered the house, she glanced at Xiao Liyue contemptuously and said, "This palace heard that the fifth princess was sick, so she came to take a look." Although he said that he was here to visit the patient, he didn't mean to let Xiao Liyue get up at all.
Xiao Liyue knelt while scolding the eighteen generations of the queen's ancestors in her heart.
However, there is nothing that can be done. Who allowed herself to cross over to such a weak and incompetent princess? If this crosses over to the emperor, see which of you dares to do this?
Xiao Liyue muttered a little forgetful in her heart, her expression inevitably changed a little, and she rolled her eyes while scolding the queen in her heart, but this move was seen by Mama Wu.
"Yo, what kind of attitude is this of the fifth princess? The queen can come to care about you and look at you, this is the blessing you have cultivated in several lifetimes? If the princess doesn't know how to appreciate it, then the old slave will teach you what it means to be respectful and inferior. As she spoke, Mama Wu stretched out her hand, apparently wanting to slap Xiao Liyue.
Xiao Liyue dodged Mama Wu's slap with a quick dodge. She was already angry to the extreme at this time, she thought to herself that no one dared to touch a finger of me since she was a child, and I crossed over once, not to mention that I had to be beaten when I was angry.
Xiao Liyue couldn't hold back the anger in her heart, and without waiting for the queen to speak, she stood up on her own and angrily went back to her grandmother.
"Didn't Mama want to teach me what it means to be inferior to the elderly? I am the master, you are the slave. Even if it's not my slave, it's the queen's slave, the queen didn't speak, you want to beat me, the little master? I really don't understand if there are any rules in this harem. ”
As soon as Xiao Liyue's words fell, the queen came up again and slapped her with a backhand, this time she didn't hide, she knew that her words angered the queen.
Just when Xiao Liyue said what she said just now, the queen was actually taken aback. It is said that the temperament of the fifth princess has changed suddenly, and she is no longer the wretched woman she once was. However, she didn't expect that the fifth princess would dare to bump into her face now.
"I think there are really no rules at all in this harem, and this palace really has to take care of it. Anyway, you have to call me the queen mother, in front of your queen mother, how dare you be so presumptuous? The queen was furious at Xiao Liyue.
Then he continued, "I heard that the fifth princess was sick, and I asked a doctor to alarm the entire hospital, thinking that the condition was quite serious. The palace is also distressed by the princess and wants to visit.
But now it seems that the princess's illness is about to be cured, right? Otherwise, how could you have so much strength to quarrel with a minion? And I heard that the princess's appetite is also very good, and she can talk and laugh with her maid when she eats, so it seems that the distress of this palace is really redundant. ”
After listening to what the queen said, Xiao Liyue finally understood what was going on in the crack in the door just now. It turned out that the queen heard about her hospital, and then specially sent someone to monitor her.
Xiao Liyue couldn't suppress the anger in her heart anymore, and thought to herself, I just let them out today, and I can't let them bully me like this anymore. It's really a tiger who doesn't wield, you treat me as a sick cat!
"Yo, I said, how did the news spread so quickly? It turns out that there are ears in the door! It seems that the queen mother really feels sorry for her daughter, so she specially sent someone to visit her daughter. I was afraid of disturbing my daughter's rest, so I didn't dare to go into the house to disturb it. Don't forget to leave me a crack in the door even when I leave. Xiao Liyue also learned the queen's half-yin and half-yang tone!
The queen was obviously half angry by Xiao Liyue's attitude, her face was red and white for a while, she gritted her teeth and said to Mama Wu, "Give me a good lesson for this girl who doesn't know the height of the sky, I want her to know who is the master of this harem." ”
"Slaves obey!" As Mama Wu spoke, she showed a hideous expression, and walked towards Xiao Liyue while rolling up her sleeves.
Xiao Liyue complained in her heart about why this Xiao Chumad was so slow, and didn't hurry to save herself, while glaring at Mama Wu viciously.
Mama Wu didn't take Xiao Liyue in her eyes, she ignored her various expressions at all, and slapped Xiao Liyue again.
This time, Xiao Liyue didn't hide, but just held up her weak body, used her greatest strength to grasp Mama Wu's wrist, and then pushed back vigorously, and Mama Wu directly came to her back and turned over.
"Oops, the old slave died." Mama Wu struggled to get up while complaining, and then glanced at the queen very aggrievedly, probably trying to arouse the queen's anger.
"Come on, take down this girl who doesn't know whether she is alive or dead." The queen was indeed completely enraged by Xiao Liyue's move, and called the two eunuchs with her. One person held one arm and pressed Xiao Liyue there.
Xiao Liyue thought in her heart, it's over, this time it's dead. However, while still unconvinced, he shouted, "What crime have I committed, why should I be beaten and scolded at every turn!" You keep saying that it is my mother, which point does it look like a mother? ”
The queen also pointed at Xiao Liyue angrily and yelled, "Okay, today I will let you know what the queen mother is!" ”
After speaking, he turned to the other entourage and said, "The fifth princess is sick and confused, and her brain has burned out, so why don't you quickly dig a basin of deep well water and sober up the princess!" ”
As he spoke, the attendant brought a basin of water, "Quickly sober up the princess." ”
The queen gave an order, Xiao Liyue only felt that her whole body suddenly felt cold, and a basin of cold well water poured Xiao Liyue from head to foot.
Xiao Liyue felt as if she had entered a cold hell, her whole body was cold and piercing, she tried to struggle, but she was pressed to death by the two entourage, she was already weak and she had no strength to resist again, but she still muttered unconvinced, "Queen Mother, you are bullying, aren't you afraid of karma?" You also have a daughter, if one day, your daughter is bullied like this by others, how dare you think? ”
It's okay not to say this, but when she said it, the queen was even more angry. shouted hysterically, "You dead girl, hurry up and shut your stinky mouth, my daughter will never be as uneducated as you, there is really a mother, there is no mother!" ”
"The prince has arrived!" Suddenly, the voice of the prince coming from outside the door. Xiao Liyue's tense heart finally relaxed, she breathed a long sigh of relief, and thought to herself, finally here, this is also the first time she is happy to see the prince!
As soon as the prince entered the house, he couldn't help but frown when he saw the messy scene in front of him. However, as the crown prince, he still did not forget the courtesy, and hurriedly knelt down to the queen to say goodbye.
"Get up!" The queen replied impatiently. Then he asked, "What kind of wind is this blowing for the prince to come to her Yuexi Pavilion?" ”
The crown prince replied respectfully, "I heard that the fifth emperor sister is sick, and I am the eldest brother, so I came to visit, but I didn't expect to meet the queen mother here!" ”
The prince's seemingly casual answer made the queen suddenly embarrassed, she hesitated for a moment, but immediately continued to ask the prince reluctantly, "When did the prince and the fifth princess start to have a deep brother-sister relationship?" I've never heard of the prince having a deep friendship with the fifth princess before? ”
"My father is deeply blessed, we will have many brothers and sisters, we must unite and love each other, as the eldest son, I have the obligation to protect any of my brothers and sisters, otherwise it will be in vain for the prince." Xiao Chufang's seemingly innocuous words were powerful, and the queen naturally understood the other meaning of his words.
"The palace also heard that the fifth princess was sick, so I came over to offer condolences, since the prince came to catch up with his sister, the palace won't bother much," after that, he turned around and glared at the two entourages who were pressing Xiao Liyue and said, "What are you doing, don't you let go of the fifth princess quickly!" ”
After speaking, he was on his toes and led the people she brought without looking back.
Xiao Liyue finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the whole person collapsed on the ground, trembling all over, panting weakly.
"Princess, are you alright?" Shuang'er pounced on her with a crying voice, and then tried hard to help Xiao Liyue up, but Xiao Liyue didn't have any strength at all, she couldn't work hard at all, and she couldn't get up, and Shuang'er's petite body couldn't lift Xiao Liyue.
"I'll do it!" Xiao Chu walked towards Xiao Liyue with a straight face, and before Xiao Liyue could react, he was already beaten and picked up by Xiao Chu.
Suddenly, Xiao Liyue's heart was a deer, and Xiao Liyue couldn't help but curse herself in her heart, "Why are you so unproductive, what is the blush, this person is Xiao Chumad!" "I was thinking about this, but suddenly my eyes went dark, and I didn't know anything.
