Suddenly, An Xiyue raised her head slightly and stared into the Queen Mother's eyes. Only then did she see clearly that the anger in the Queen Mother's eyes was far deeper than she imagined.
Looking at the Queen Mother in front of her, a dream she once had flashed through An Xiyue's mind. She dreamed that the current Queen Mother, the late Emperor Huo Zhaoyi, was plotting with a beautiful woman.
And that woman was the former emperor's empress. No one knew why the former empress was deposed and imprisoned in the cold palace. No one cared whether she was dead or alive.
An Xiyue could only connect the few words she learned from her grandfather.
At this time, a conjecture flashed through An Xiyue's mind. The late Queen might not be dead yet. If she found her, she might know the real cause of Princess Lingjing's death.
She also wanted to see what the noise was that she heard when she was kidnapped and passed by the cold palace.
Grandfather said that Princess Lingjing died in childbirth, and maybe there were secrets in the palace that they didn't know about.
Therefore, An Xiyue quickly made a decision to stay in the palace.
Princess Yu couldn't hold it in anymore and said anxiously: "My wife is willing to serve the Queen Mother in the palace..."
The Queen Mother saw that An Xiyue's face turned pale and she didn't speak for a long time. She just thought that she was scared.
Seeing an unprecedented expression on Nangong Yuanyi's face, the Queen Mother immediately extinguished the anger in her heart and said with a smile: "The princess is not feeling well. The prince is young. Serving the Ai family is a great filial piety."
Suddenly, An Xiyue's lips curved into a sweet smile, she bowed and said respectfully, "Xiyue will do her best to take care of the Queen's grandmother's health."
"Xi Yue's grandfather was good at using medicinal foods to condition the bodies of the nobles in the palace when he was a royal physician in the palace. He said that this not only avoids the bitterness and odor caused by the medicinal materials themselves, but also does not offend the users. "It not only has a therapeutic effect, but also has a nourishing effect, so Xiyue listened to her grandfather's teachings and also studied medicinal diet."
An Xiyue mentioned her grandfather, firstly because she knew that her grandfather was actually very respected when he was a doctor in the palace. The Queen Mother would take her grandfather's face into consideration and not embarrass her.
The second is to tell Nangong Yuanyi not to worry about her. If the Queen Mother makes things difficult for her, she will naturally find a way to get out. She doesn't want to become his weakness. If he wants to do something, just let him do it.
King Yu saw that An Xiyue was so eloquent, and he also had some appreciation in his eyes. Mei Zongzheng had saved the Queen Mother from danger several times, so the Queen Mother would still give her face.
The Queen smiled and said: "I am very happy that the Crown Princess will stay in the palace. I also miss the cup of medicinal food that the Queen Mother took just now. It happens that Yun Qiao is pregnant, so I will call her tomorrow." Come into the palace, enjoy the glory of the Queen Mother, and ask the Crown Princess to prescribe some medicinal food for Yun Qiao to nourish her."
An Xiyue replied: "Xiyue is not very honored."
The prince stood obediently to one side. When he heard that An Xiyue wanted to stay in the palace, his eyes suddenly lit up.
Concubine Su secretly hated her when she saw the look in her son's eyes. She didn't know what happened to the Queen Mother tonight, so she got angry one after another. She wanted to choose a candidate for the Crown Princess as soon as possible to win over the Crown Prince's heart.
Although the eldest princess also looked anxious, An Xiyue was relieved when she thought that the Queen Mother was targeting Nangong Yuanyi. At worst, in a few days she would bring Wei Mingfeng into the palace to pay her respects to the Queen Mother, and Wei Mingfeng would try another way. Take An Xiyue back.
As time passed, the Queen Mother's anger dissipated somewhat.
Everyone has their own thoughts...
