Because the female relatives attending the banquet today have to go to Cining Palace to pay homage to the Queen Mother, ladies and ladies summoned by the Queen Mother come to pay their respects from time to time in the main hall, plus a group of eloquent concubines and ladies are mobilized. The atmosphere, the atmosphere is not too cold.
Xia Luotong ignored others and just chatted with Si Hanyan. He also spoke to the Queen Mother from time to time, which was quite comfortable.
"Luo Tong, come with the Ai family." The Queen Mother put down the tea cup and suddenly spoke.
The Queen Mother didn't say what the reason was, she just stood up. Xia Luotong didn't ask, and quickly stepped forward to support the Queen Mother. The two of them went to the inner hall together, leaving a lot of curious eyes.
The Queen Mother had always been like this, not to mention that she didn't need to tell others what she was going to do, but she didn't tell others, but it aroused the curiosity of others.
The Queen, Concubine Wu and others were a little concerned about why the Queen Mother asked Princess An to go to the inner hall, but no one dared to ask the Queen Mother, so they could only watch the two people leave.
It wasn't until the figures of the Queen Mother and Xia Luotong disappeared into the inner hall that the Queen withdrew her gaze. Seeing Si Hanyan who had returned to his usual quiet and submissive appearance, her eyes flashed slightly and she raised a gentle smile: "Han Yan, do you know why the Queen Mother called Prince An and Princess An over?"
Concubine Wu and others saw that the queen was the first to ask, and they all followed the conversation calmly.
"Replying to the Queen, Hanyan doesn't know." Si Hanyan replied softly, so respectfully that you couldn't find any fault, as usual.
She already had her own way of getting along with the concubines in the palace. She even knew the thoughts of the Queen, Concubine Wu and others, and she could understand them without the Queen Mother telling her.
The Si family is a prominent family in the northwest. With her background and upbringing, she is not vague about the rules here.
Unexpectedly, a figure of Qingjun flashed through her mind, and a touch of tenderness flashed through her heart, but what followed was confusion about the future. She didn't know if she would be able to be with the man she truly loved in the end. , she doesn’t even know if he is interested in her...
Thinking of her two best friends, she became a little more determined. Since getting to know them, she has become more and more aware of her changes. They have made her stronger and stronger, and she will work hard to pursue herself. the life you want.
Seeing that Si Hanyan's expression didn't seem to be fake, the queen smiled and nodded, and didn't ask any further. She was determined to win this gentle and gentle girl, so she would naturally show her kindness from time to time.
If he can get the support of the northwest Si family and a large number of civil servants under Prime Minister Liu, the prince's chances of winning will be even greater!
The queen was determined, and her eyes became more friendly when she looked at Si Hanyan. It seemed that she had to let the prince take more initiative, otherwise it would be disadvantageous if other princes took the initiative!
Don't blame her for being anxious, after all, there are several adult princes under the emperor's knees now. Not only do they have their own methods, but they are also in charge of a lot of government affairs, actively win over the courtiers, and their intentions are obvious!
Although the prince she gave birth to is the eldest son and still lives in the East Palace, this prince is obviously not very stable. Not to mention the second prince born by Concubine Wu and the third prince born by Concubine De. The other princes were also staring at that seat eagerly, and they kept moving secretly, trying to pull the prince off the seat.
Throughout the dynasties, there have been a lot of people who became princes but failed to ascend the dragon throne. After all, any prince can occupy the prince's position, not only the princes born from the queen.
Moreover, the emperor's attitude now makes the queen somewhat unpredictable. Although she still works hard to cultivate the prince and adopts many of the prince's suggestions, she does not stop other princes from secretly forming cliques, and is even quite willful. The idea of letting them develop and grow made the queen even more uneasy.
From this, she could see that the emperor did not have to be the prince. He even had the intention to observe the situation of the other princes, and it was unknown whether he might be replaced by the prince in the end!
She will never tolerate such a thing happening! The throne can only belong to the prince!
If the prince fails to ascend the dragon throne in the end, she knows what kind of fate awaits her and the Duke's Mansion in the end, without even thinking about it! Moreover, she has suppressed other concubines for so many years, and even Concubine Wu's first child was aborted by herself! Otherwise, the position of the eldest son may not necessarily be hers!
Once she fails, these women who have been suppressed by her will definitely eat her until no bones are left!
The queen's heart felt slightly cold, and she turned to look at the Zheng family in General Anbei's Mansion below, thinking about those plans and speeding up...
After Xia Luotong helped the Queen Mother into the inner hall and sat down, she stood quietly aside, waiting quietly for the Queen Mother to speak. She neither took the initiative to please nor made any move. She knew that the Queen Mother must have something to do with her, and it was because Regarding Wu Zechen, after all, apart from Wu Zechen, she had nothing worthy of the Empress Dowager coming to this inner palace to talk privately.
Sure enough, after the Queen Mother looked at her quietly for a while, she slowly opened her mouth, with a smile on her face and a somewhat satisfied expression: "How is Chen'er's health now?"
There is nothing more important than loving your grandson's body. The Queen Mother raised this question when she opened her mouth, which did not surprise Xia Luotong.
"The prince's will is extremely firm, which I admire endlessly. The speed of detoxification is beyond my expectation. If nothing happens, the poison will be completely detoxified in a month or two at most."
Xia Luotong was speaking from the bottom of his heart. The pain during detoxification was far beyond what most people could bear, but Wu Zechen not only endured it, he was always under the highest intensity of detoxification. This happened day after day, and his endurance continued. She had to express her admiration.
But this also made her feel distressed for him for the first time, because she knew best that she had gone through the purgatory-like training in her childhood. If she wanted to have such endurance, she could only have it through repeated training. , which shows that it is not easy for Wu Zechen to reach this point. He must have gone through countless pains and hardships to develop such terrifying endurance.
When the Queen Mother heard what Xia Luotong said and learned that the detoxification time had been shortened again and that the toxins in her beloved grandson's body could be completely removed faster, she was naturally extremely happy.
She had seen with her own eyes what Wu Zechen looked like when he was poisoned. His expression of pain could make him look so painful even when a mountain of mountains collapsed. This showed how terrifying the poisonous effects were, but he often had to experience such pain. …
It would not be an exaggeration to say that the pain was in his body and in her own heart. Just thinking of her beloved grandson enduring such pain for so many years, the Queen Mother felt extremely distressed.
