Leng Xiao helped the queen go back and leave Huiqing Palace, which was full of conspiracies.
Back in the palace, the queen looked pale and exhausted, "I hope her fetus can be saved and nothing more will happen, otherwise I don't know who will be involved."
"Mother, don't think about that, just have a good rest." Leng Xiao advised.
The queen looked at her and asked, "What did you say to the emperor when you went out just now?"
Leng Xiao did not tell the truth and only said: "I just said that the fetus may not be saved."
"If you say that, the emperor must be sad and angry," the queen sighed. "Ever since Concubine Hui became pregnant, he has been so happy. How uncomfortable he would be if the fetus was gone."
Leng Xiao said: "Children are a blessing given by God. If they cannot keep it, it can only be said that they do not have this blessing."
The queen was shocked and shouted quickly: "No nonsense, you must not say such things outside, do you understand?"
"I know what's appropriate." Seeing her reaction so loudly, Leng Xiao knew that he really had no status in the emperor's heart, and his head would be clicked if he said a wrong word.
"You..." the queen looked at her plain face and sighed again, "I really shouldn't have called you here. You told the emperor this way. If the fetus can be saved, you will have committed the crime of curse. If you can't save it, If you are right, the emperor will not be happy, you shouldn’t come.”
Leng Xiao said: "When the emperor is angry, he always needs to find someone to vent his anger on. It's either me or you, the queen mother."
The Queen looked at her in astonishment, "So you are here for me?"
His heart suddenly softened, and he held her hand and said, "You silly child, I am the queen after all, and if he gets angry, he will just say a few unpleasant words. He will not do anything to me, but you... "
The queen didn't say anything anymore. It wasn't that she was sensitive, but that although the emperor seemed to have nothing to do with Leng Xiao, and occasionally said a few words of appreciation for her, he was conflicted in his heart. He said he admired her, but he couldn't help but feel suspicious in his heart.
What frightened her the most was what the emperor once said. He said that although Leng Xiao had made meritorious service to the court, this woman dared to attack even her own father, so she was not an ordinary person.
He didn't accuse Leng Xiao of anything, but he could hear the rejection and displeasure.
Leng Xiao knew it in her heart, so she said to the queen: "Mother, don't worry about us, it's you. From today on, don't give anything to Concubine Hui. Just explain, whatever Huiqing Palace needs, the inner government will do it for you." What are you giving me? Tomorrow, you will start pretending to be sick, not allowing anyone to come over to say hello, and do everything you can to avoid Concubine Hui."
The queen looked at her blankly, knowing the seriousness of the matter. She calmed down her sadness and looked serious, "Okay, I know this, so you should be careful."
Leng Xiao said: "I said today that I can't do anything and said some unpleasant words. The emperor will not ask me to treat Concubine Hui again, so I can stay out of the matter."
Only then did the queen realize that her offense was actually out of good intentions. The queen felt uncomfortable because the child had suffered such a big sin and could not enjoy the happiness when he came back. He was immediately involved in the struggle between the concubines.
I couldn't help but get red eyes, "It's hard for you!"
Leng Xiao was very touched by this sincere love.
She had never received much love and care since she was a child, and she was used to keeping her emotions sealed away, but in fact she knew very well that she longed for care in her heart.
She can fight against all evil, but she just can't resist a little good love.
Leng Xiao still prescribed some medicine to the queen, which was used to lower blood pressure, but the amount was well controlled. It was mainly used to deal with the imperial doctor coming to diagnose and treat tomorrow when she said she felt unwell.
The queen couldn't help herself. Only when she was really uncomfortable could she have reason to refuse the concubine's invitation.
