"alright!"
Seeing that Nanny Ran was indignant and her words were a little offensive, the Queen Mother scolded her: "Stop talking, he is the emperor, and the Ai family is the Queen Mother. If the Ai family doesn't do anything, who will do it?"
"Your Majesty!" Granny Ran was anxious.
The Queen Mother waved her hand and leaned directly on the pillow: "The Ai family knows what you want to say, but the Ai family and the emperor are one and the same."
"The emperor has been in difficult situations many times, and the prince has even forced him to almost abdicate. The people in the court who are outsiders are becoming more and more disrespectful of the royal family. If this continues and his throne is unstable, what good life can the Queen Mother of the Aijia have?"
"Besides... do you think the Aijia is just for the emperor? The Aijia is also for themselves."
The Queen Mother felt uncomfortable, and she felt a little breathless after speaking a few words. She waited for a long time before continuing.
"You saw Rongyue and Song Tangning just now. The Ai family hasn't said anything or done anything yet. Then Rongyue can use words to block the Ai family, and Xiao Yan can force the emperor to give in step by step. For the position of crown prince and crown prince to be appointed by one of his ministers makes the royal family almost a big joke."
"When Rongyue was still in Prince Cheng's Mansion, she was so respectful when she saw the Ai family, but now? She actually dares to use Xiao Yan, that rebellious minister, to suppress the Ai family!"
The Queen Mother's breath became confused when she mentioned "Xiao Yan", and she couldn't help coughing hard several times.
Aunt Ran quickly stepped forward and patted her on the back, and she slowed down. Only the flush from exertion appeared on her face, and her somewhat old and muddy eyes were filled with anger.
"And that Prince Huan, who has pretended to be a dandy for so many years, now dares to have such thoughts, even the prince is disobedient."
"The emperor is right. If the Ai family really does nothing, they will just sit back and wait for death. It is impossible for the Ai family and will never allow anyone to offend the royal dignity. Let alone anyone want to take away our mother and son from the emperor's hands. s right."
This world belongs to their mother and son, and to her son.
No one can get involved! !
Aunt Ran couldn't help but open her mouth when she looked at the sharp-eyed Queen Mother. She wanted to say that the throne was not originally the emperor's, and that the emperor's current situation was his own fault.
If he had not done that kind of thing with the Lu family at the beginning, if he had been more thorough in eradicating the roots, even if he could have listened to the Lu family's advice and not to trust Xiao Yan to promote him below the next person, the court would not have become It looks like this now.
And she could also see clearly that Mrs. Rongguo and Princess Xiangning had no intention of offending the Queen Mother, and they were very respectful when they entered the palace. However, the Queen Mother suddenly mentioned the late Mrs. Rong, and her words involved Princess Xiangning. Only Mrs. Rongguo would "fight back" like that.
On the contrary, Your Majesty, the person who keeps saying that he respects the Queen Mother, but ignores the fact that the Queen Mother is still ill and allows the Queen Mother to risk her own life, is the most unreliable one.
Aunt Ran had served the Queen Mother for decades, and she truly felt that there was no need for the Queen Mother to get involved in the affairs of the previous dynasty.
No matter how fiercely the Crown Prince and His Majesty fight, the Queen Mother is still the Queen Mother. No matter who wins in the end, the father and son, she will still be the most noble woman in the palace.
As for Xiao Yan, he is a person who has a clear distinction between love and hate. Although his methods are ruthless and he will retaliate, as long as the Queen Mother is willing to show her kindness, even if she just stays quietly in Shoukang Palace as her Queen Mother and ignores external affairs, even if Her Majesty is really If anything happens, no one will hurt the Queen Mother's life.
But she knew that the Queen Mother would not listen to these words even if she said them to her.
Aunt Ran could only say: "But the prince made a mistake before and was reprimanded by the court. Your Majesty has already taken back the power of the court. Although Xiao Yan is intimidated, he does not dare to go too far. Why do you have to do this for His Majesty?"
"When His Majesty came to look for you that day, he kept saying that it was for you, but what he said was somewhat true. If he was really filial and caring about you, he wouldn't have made such demands even knowing that you were in such a bad state. You use yourself to make things happen for him..."
"okay!"
The Queen Mother interrupted Nanny Ran: "When did you become so talkative?"
Seeing that the Queen Mother was angry, Aunt Ran was filled with anger and did not dare to say anything.
Seeing this, the Queen Mother sighed softly: "The Emperor's thoughts are known to the Aijia, but as he said, he is surrounded by wolves now. If the Aijia's own mother doesn't help him, who can help him."
"The Queen Mother..."
"Okay, the Ai family has made up its mind."
The Queen Mother gasped softly and said: "Besides, the arrow is on the string, and the Ai family has no room for maneuver."
Aunt Ran could only shut her mouth, but her eyes were red.
The Queen Mother's expression softened when she saw her so sad. She remembered that when she entered the palace, she had a humble status. She was favored by the late emperor and was forgotten by fate. However, she became pregnant and almost became a full harem. A thorn in the side of those high-ranking concubines.
During that time, everyone tried their best to humiliate and torture her, and she almost couldn't survive. It was the little girl in front of her who once had a fiery temper, who tried his best to protect her and follow her in the palace full of treacherous schemes. She survived step by step until today.
The down-and-out concubine became the empress dowager that everyone worshiped, and the fiery little girl became the calm and reserved Aunt Ran who was respected and feared by everyone in the palace.
No one knows how loyal the person in front of them is to them, and the relationship between the two of them has long been more than just master and servant.
The Queen Mother softened her eyebrows, took Nanny Ran's hand and whispered: "Aran, you have been following the Ai family for many years, and the Ai family only trusts you. Can you help the Ai family?"
Aunt Ran looked at the old and declining Queen Mother and lost all desire to persuade her.
"Okay, my slave will help you..."
The Queen Mother smiled lightly, and her decayed and sickly face seemed to reveal a bit of youthful splendor: "After this incident is over, you can take Cailing out of the palace. The Ai family has bought a farm and a house for you. That girl Cailing is a good girl, let her take care of you and live peacefully in the future."
"master……"
Nanny Ran's eyes instantly turned red, and she held the Queen Mother's hand and choked.
"I won't leave, I will stay with you."
…
When it was getting dark in the palace, Tang Ning saw Madam Wenxinhou and Zhou Yuchang returning. Along with them were Madam Cui and several others. However, before she could say a few words, someone from Shoukang Palace came to tell them. The letter said that Mrs. Wen Xinhou and his daughter and Mrs. Liang Er would be waiting for him tonight.
Tang Ning and the others had no choice but to stop reminiscing about the past and stay in the side hall of Qiyun Palace to rest.
The next morning, Tang Ning and the others were supposed to get up early and go to Shoukang Palace to pay their respects. However, the other party gave the news that the Queen Mother needed to rest for a long time, so they were spared from paying their respects. Mrs. Cao and the others were asked to take over Mrs. Liang's and several others to attend to the illness.
Tang Ning and the others continued to stay in Qiyun Palace.
In the next three days, several princesses and ladies who entered the palace took turns to attend to the illness. Even Fu Jinrou was summoned, but Rong Yue, Tang Ning and Qian Qiyue were not summoned.
Listening to those who came back from attending the illness laughing and saying that the Queen Mother was getting better and better, Tang Ning felt that her uneasiness was getting worse.
