Prime Minister Min handed over his hand and said, "My father-in-law is so kind that I will never forget it."
Eunuch Qing shook his head, "No need, Prime Minister, you understand what the Emperor means. It is up to the Prime Minister to decide what to do in the future."
After Eunuch Qing finished speaking, he said goodbye and left.
The muscles on Min Xiang's face trembled slightly. He naturally understood what the emperor meant. He arrived in Beijing and went to the palace to have a drink with the emperor that day. Although the emperor's words were vague, the meaning came out.
The emperor hopes that the prince will be obedient and can take back a little bit of the prince's power. If he wants to help the prince, help him implement new policies and win the hearts of the people, the emperor will not be happy.
The family suddenly became hesitant. They didn't expect that they would encounter such a thing just after returning to Beijing.
This is a kindness and a warning.
Eunuch Qing also went to the East Palace and reported to the Crown Princess that the Emperor had permitted the Min family members to come to the East Palace to meet the Crown Princess tomorrow.
Moreover, he said that the emperor had granted the old lady the title of second-grade imperial concubine. Therefore, when the old lady enters the palace tomorrow, she must first go to Mu Ci Palace to pay her respects.
Leng Xiaogang was very happy when he heard the news, but when he thought about it, he felt that things were not that simple.
She asked Eunuch Qing to sit down and asked, "Eunuch, have you met my grandmother?"
"When I went back to the Crown Princess, I didn't go in to pay my respects."
"Then before the emperor issued the decree, had he met anyone before?"
Eunuch Qing hesitated for a moment, "This..."
"Father-in-law, it doesn't matter if you say it. Even if you say it, no one will know that it was you who said it."
Eunuch Qing thought that this matter could not be hidden, so he said: "Before the emperor issued the decree, he met the imperial physician, and the imperial physician once went to the Min Mansion to diagnose and treat the old lady."
Leng Xiao's heart sank, "So, my grandmother's condition is serious, right?"
"The situation is very serious. The imperial doctor said that if you can take the decoction, it will last for ten and a half eight days. If you can't take the medicine, it will only last for three to a few days."
Leng Xiao calculated the time to enter the palace.
If we enter the palace early tomorrow morning, the carriage will take at least an hour to travel from Min Mansion to the palace, because grandma is in serious condition and cannot run fast.
After an hour of turbulence, I had to wait at the palace gate, waiting for the people from Mu Ci Palace to come out to guide me.
When the married woman arrived at the palace gate, she could no longer take a carriage. From the palace gate to Mu Ci Palace, she had to walk through a long palace lane before reaching the harem. When she arrived at the harem, she had to pass through the Imperial Garden, and then walk through the cloister of the Imperial Garden. After walking for a while, we arrived at Mu Ci Palace.
Grandma might not be able to walk such a long way.
Moreover, servants of the Min family were not allowed to enter the palace. Those who did not need to express gratitude could not go to Mu Ci Palace without being received by the Queen Mother.
In other words, the people around the Empress Dowager could only lead the grandmother to Mu Ci Palace alone.
"Eunuch, can the Empress Dowager prepare a chariot?" Leng Xiao asked.
Eunuch Qing said softly: "Since the founding of the Wei Dynasty, there has been no precedent for a foreigner's wife to be carried to Mu Ci Palace on a shoulder cart to express her gratitude."
"You can't ask my uncle and the others to carry him there, right?"
"Of course it won't work. The Empress Dowager has not announced that a foreign man has entered the harem."
Leng Xiao's voice gradually became colder, "And even if the Queen Mother asks my aunt to go with her, my aunt won't be able to carry such a long distance."
"Princess, you can go to Mu Ci Palace tomorrow and wait. As soon as the old lady arrives, you can treat her immediately."
Leng Xiao raised her voice, "The question is, can she get there?"
"Princess, please go and beg the Emperor or the Queen Mother. I can't help you." After Eunuch Qing finished speaking, it was not convenient for him to stay for a long time, so he left.
Leng Xiao gritted her teeth and took Ape to Mu Ci Palace to ask for a meeting with the Queen Mother.
The Empress Dowager was chanting sutras in the Buddhist hall and asked Leng Xiao to wait outside for half an hour before coming out.
After she sat down, she saw Leng Xiao kneeling directly in front of her and saluted.
