After the death of the previous emperor, the Empress Dowager became arrogant

Chapter 155 Entering the Palace

She smiled coldly: "Do you think I'm stupid? You haven't seen that guy surnamed Lu for half a year, and he's a gigolo. Then tell me, what kind of gigolo would you be willing to spend money to support, and you can only look at him but not eat him?"

The woman calmed down at this time, looked at the woman, and chuckled: "Everyone knows that Lu Lang is unparalleled in appearance, there is no one like him in the world. Even if you can only watch him from afar, you will be satisfied, right?"

Although her face looked haggard, she showed a spirit of not wanting to admit defeat at this moment.

"You care about Lu Lang, and you hate me so much, maybe you can't get what you want, so you want to take revenge on me."

She laughed so happily that the woman opposite her became angry and embarrassed.

"You're talking nonsense. I have millions of dollars in wealth and countless handsome men. Why would I care about a thing that doesn't know the current situation?!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she realized that something was wrong.

The woman stared at her with pleasure and said, "Listen, you just confessed it yourself."

The woman turned her face away angrily and captured the man again, "Don't you want your husband anymore?"

She thought she had found the woman's weakness, but she didn't expect that the woman didn't care at all at this moment. Instead, she laughed and clapped, "Kill him, kill him. I've been looking forward to this day. He and I were childhood sweethearts, and our two families had an engagement since we were young, so I reluctantly married him. I couldn't bring myself to do this to him, but since the girl is willing to do it for me, I naturally want it. Hurry up, hurry up, and don't delay me and Lu Lang from living together."

She was charming and enchanting, like a fairy, with a bright light in her eyes.

The woman couldn't tell whether she really wanted the man to die or was just pretending, so she didn't dare to take action, allowing the woman to gain the upper hand.

She suddenly remembered something and smiled, "I can understand that he doesn't care, but what about the child?"

She waved outside, and a man in black came in carrying a cloth bag.

There was a child wrapped in the cloth bag. The woman could no longer sit still and immediately struggled to snatch the child away.

But the man spoke at this time, "If you want to know anything, I will tell you everything. Let them go back."

The woman's eyebrows lit up with joy, but she quickly hid it and held the child tightly, "You speak first."

The man smiled with his mouth open. "Then you'll never know."

He raised his head and looked at his wife, his clear eyes full of affection. He looked at his wife's tearful face and said, "If I can't guarantee their safety, I will never say a word. If I can't protect them in this life, what's the point of living?"

He looked at the woman and smiled, "You don't want to see this result, right? After all, we are the only ones who know about that person, and you have no choice."

The woman endured and endured before she killed him with a sword. After handing the child to his men, he personally led the woman to stand up and said to the man, "State your request."

The man said word by word, "Send them back home. I want to see it with my own eyes."

……

Yuan Bo led all the officials to handle government affairs day and night and was very busy.

Yuan Qing planned to take this opportunity to quietly return to the Yuan Mansion, hoping to get some information from his father.

She climbed over the wall into the yard and was caught by the secret guards.

Yuan Qing turned around and removed the stuff on her face. The secret guard stared at her with a complicated expression.

Why do you have to climb over the wall instead of just going through the main door?

Yuan Qing jumped down from the wall and asked with a smile, "Who else is in the mansion?"

"They are gone," the secret guard shook his head, "The Prime Minister and his wife are busy outside and rarely come back home."

"What about Butler Song?"

"He was also sent out by the Prime Minister. Now we are the only servants left in the mansion to guard the yard. I didn't expect you to come back, Miss. Do you want me to send a letter to the Prime Minister?"

Yuan Qing waved his hand and said, "Dad is so busy, let's not disturb him. You continue to watch over him, I'll come next time."

The secret guard returned to the tree.

Yuan Qing returned to the Lu Mansion and found Yuan Yi standing in the yard again, as if waiting for her.

"Didn't you say you were busy?"

"His Majesty asked me to take you to the palace." Yuan Yi pursed his lips, "The Prime Minister is also in the palace."

Yuan Qing was stunned for a moment.

I originally thought that my father was on local business these days, but I didn't expect that he had already entered the palace.

Yuan Yi looked at her expression and asked cautiously, "You...are not angry?"

"Why am I angry?" Yuan Qing felt strange.

"Your Majesty's matter..."

After all, he had concealed from her the fact that His Majesty was still safe.

"Yeah, that's what you're talking about," Yuan Qing stepped forward, "I guessed it a long time ago. Otherwise, with my temper, I would definitely make a scene to get to the bottom of it even if I had to throw a tantrum."

She also knew what he felt guilty about, so she said, "Yuan Yi, you have to know that I have never regarded you as my appendage. You have your own life and experiences to go through. As long as you don't betray me and don't regard me as a stepping stone, I will let you do whatever you want as much as possible and will not restrict you in the slightest. I have told you all this a long time ago, but you have always been in the position of master and servant and never dared to cross this line."

She suddenly looked at him seriously, "Just remember my bottom line."

Yuan Yi followed her pace, and his mood became much more relaxed.

After entering Qinghe Hall, Yuan Qing saw Wen Chengyu lying alone on the couch, looking much more energetic.

His eyes were closed, his breathing was light and shallow, and he was sleeping soundly.

The eunuch Shun beside him gently waved his fan and called softly, "Your Majesty?"

Wen Chengyu did not wake up.

Eunuch Shun bent down again to look.

Yuan Qing tiptoed around the curtain and hurriedly stopped him, saying, "Since Your Majesty is still resting, I will wait outside for a while."

"Is someone here?"

Wen Chengyu's voice was hoarse, with a not very clear throat sound.

Yuan Qing turned around quickly, saluted and said, "Your Majesty."

"There are no outsiders here, so don't be so polite," Wen Chengyu raised his hand with difficulty, "Sit down."

Eunuch Shun moved a small stool and placed it beside the dragon couch.

Yuan Yi followed Eunuch Shun out.

Wen Chengyu stood up and looked around, habitually reaching around. There was a small table next to the couch with hot tea on it.

Yuan Qing reached out to help him get it, and sniffed the scent in the cup as he got closer.

Fortunately, it’s not those things.

Wen Chengyu knew what she was thinking at a glance, so he smiled and said, "Don't worry, I haven't touched those things for a long time. Now I have someone to treat the disease and keep it."

Yuan Qing pursed her lips tightly, "Then... your 'falling ill' this time, is it also related to the outbreak of the disease this time?"

"Yes, or no," Wen Chengyu said, "I deliberately let the news of 'being mad at Lu Zhao to the point of falling ill' spread in the palace. Whether it's a human or a ghost, they have all appeared recently. It's time to close the net. Go back and tell Lu Zhao to be patient for a few more days. Besides, I also want to take this opportunity to take good care of myself."

"A famous doctor?" Yuan Qing asked, "Have you checked his background?"
