Chapter 337 What's Next
Xiaohong whispered, "Second Madam said she also felt strange, so she went home to ask the old lady. The old lady asked me to tell you:
"Your Majesty's move may just be a test, but if King Zhongshun responds so violently, this matter cannot be resolved peacefully.
"Now that we don't know whether Prince Beijing is alive or dead, the four kings and eight officials are uneasy. This is not a good sign!
"The old lady said that at this critical moment, please do not act rashly and do not care about others!"
Lin Daiyu remained silent for a while, then nodded slightly.
Silent all night.
The next morning, everyone in Yanjia Palace naturally flocked to the side hall to watch Lin Daiyu packing her things.
Ming relied on Lin Daiyu's good temper and Qingwen's close association with them. They all leaned on the doors and windows, exclaimed at the sight of a piece of clothing, and admired at the sight of a pen holder. It was as lively as a vegetable market.
Lin Daiyu had a terrible headache.
Fortunately, Aunt Meng still had some dignity. She stood at the door and rolled her eyes: "Breakfast is served, hurry up and get out!"
The palace maids smiled and dispersed.
Lin Daiyu pretended to wipe the invisible sweat from her forehead and smiled at her: "Why? Didn't you leave the palace early to give my grandmother acupuncture today?"
Aunt Meng walked in and shook her head, saying, "When I went there yesterday, your old lady was impatient and insisted that she was already well.
"I checked her pulse and thought she was okay, so I left her a prescription and told her to take care of it."
Lin Daiyu sat up straight from the pile of clothes and looked at Aunt Meng steadily: "You really don't need a needle?"
"Almost." Aunt Meng came up to her, half squatted on the ground, stretched out her hands to help her tidy up her clothes, and whispered, "The old lady is depressed. No matter how much I tell her to ignore everything and open her mind, she won't listen.
"Don't even mention me, a mere female doctor. Even if I were a Golden Immortal, I can't buy her a long life!
"No choice, just leave it to fate."
Lin Daiyu sat down weakly, her face gradually turning pale.
The general trend will be chaos.
There was no one in the Jia family who could plan the overall situation. At this time, the old lady was racking her brains and was willing to sacrifice her own life in exchange for Jia's life.
Can't be persuaded.
Lin Daiyu lowered her head, her eyes red.
She was talking to Aunt Meng, and the three maids were sensible and kept a little distance away.
However, Xiaohong was particularly attentive. Seeing that Daiyu looked unhappy, she hurried over and asked softly, "Princess, why don't you go and have breakfast with the Queen Mother? I will take care of these trivial matters."
Aunt Meng nodded repeatedly: "That's right! You've been busy this morning, you should eat something."
He dragged Lin Daiyu to the front hall.
After forcing herself to cheer up and eating half a bowl of porridge with the empress dowager, Lin Daiyu wanted to go back to the side hall to hide and have some quiet time.
Unexpectedly, a report came from outside that Emperor Zhaoming had arrived.
The Queen Mother glanced at Daiyu and ordered her to sit down: "I am just about to ask the Emperor a question. Please stay with me and help me ask."
Lin Daiyu felt uneasy, but she didn't dare to leave abruptly. Besides, the news that Lady Jia would not live long made her panic, and her usual clever plans became confused and clumsy.
Because Zijuan was recently selected by Cheng Qian to be taught, and now follows the empress dowager in her daily life, she didn't know what happened yesterday and this morning. When she saw Daiyu's condition, she was shocked.
He didn't care about the rules at that moment, and hurried forward to offer Daiyu a cup of hot milk: "My princess, you ate little just now, so drink a little more."
Daiyu shook her head.
Zijuan advised softly, "This cup is insulated, it's not hot, and it cools down slowly. It's fine if you just use it to warm your hands."
The master and servant have been dependent on each other since childhood and naturally know each other very well.
In front of others, Daiyu knew that she couldn't persuade Zijuan, so she had to take the cup and hold it in both hands.
But in this way, everyone in the hall could see that she was in an unstable state of mind.
At this moment, Emperor Zhaoming strode in, bowed to the Empress Dowager, and Tanchun and Daiyu also bowed to him. Then everyone took their seats.
The Queen Mother then asked, "Did the Northern Palace copy it?"
"Yes." Emperor Zhaoming looked at the Queen Mother and smiled, "But Princess Beijing is still quite capable. She didn't find any of Rong'er's correspondence with other people."
The words were said with a smile, but a hint of hostility clearly flashed across Emperor Zhaoming's face!
The Queen Mother sighed: "Although Rong'er was wrong, the people around him did not lead him to the right path, which is also a big cause and effect."
After a pause, he thought of someone and asked Tanchun, "When the Northern Queen's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were talking about it that day, did they mention Taoist Zhang, the substitute for the Duke of Rong?"
Tanchun lowered her eyes and replied yes.
The Queen Mother snorted, "This idiot is not a good person either! He started stirring up trouble after Lord Rong left. He is obsessed with fame and gain. My son, check him out!"
Emperor Zhaoming agreed with a smile, looked at Daiyu in surprise, and asked with a smile: "In the past, Zhaoqing was the only one who was eloquent. Why is he silent today?"
Daiyu was originally at a loss, but after being pushed by Zijuan, she finally reacted. She opened her mouth, but before she could say anything, she choked and tears welled up in her eyes!
Everyone was shocked!
The Queen Mother hugged Lin Daiyu in her arms and asked distressedly: "What happened? If you have something to say, just say it. Why are you crying?!"
Emperor Zhaoming also stood up and looked at Zijuan and Aunt Meng with a sullen face: "What happened? Why don't you report it quickly!?"
Zijuan was so anxious that tears were about to come out, and she looked at Aunt Meng hurriedly.
Aunt Meng then sighed and told Lady Jia about her situation: "...Shi is such a worrywart that she refuses to let it go. In my opinion, it will only take two or three months.
"If one or two more major incidents occur at this time, I am afraid that the emergency will be gone in an instant. It is hard to say..."
Lin Daiyu’s face turned pale, she closed her eyes, and fainted instantly!
The Queen Mother felt her hand sink. She lowered her head and choked up with fear: "Zhao Qing! Zhao Qing!"
Emperor Zhaoming stepped onto the platform in one leap, looked at Aunt Meng with a sullen face, pursed his lips tightly and said nothing.
Aunt Meng was almost scared out of her wits by this look. She stepped forward tremblingly to feel Daiyu's pulse and said in a trembling voice, "It's just due to emotional agitation. It's nothing serious..."
The Queen Mother was so angry that she punched Aunt Meng with her own hand and cursed: "Are you crazy? You know that the old lady of the Jia family is her knot, but you still speak so directly! Will you die if you beat around the bush? Huh?!"
Emperor Zhaoming, however, took a deep breath, relaxed his expression, bowed slightly and comforted the Queen Mother:
"Things have happened one after another in the past six months, and Zhaoqing has been a little too nervous. It would be a good thing to relax for a while.
"Besides, there will be more things to come. It is an unexpected blessing for her to be able to be kept by her mother's side to recuperate."
The Queen Mother's heart trembled slightly. She looked up at Emperor Zhaoming. After a while, she slowly nodded and said softly, "You too. Knowing that there will be more things to come, you must take better care of yourself and cherish yourself. Do you understand?"
Emperor Zhaoming took a half step back, crossed his arms and bowed: "Yes! Son will follow mother's teachings!"
