Chapter 305: The Queen's Care
Ruan Wanwan was a little surprised. The most taboo thing in the imperial family was for the princes to cling to each other and form cliques for personal gain. The fact that the four princes and their wives were so close to the prince's palace had already aroused criticism from others.
Ruan Wanwan was previously worried that some nefarious people would go to stir up trouble in front of the emperor, causing both the Prince's Palace and the Fourth Prince's Palace to suffer losses.
Now it seems that no one is gossiping, and not only does the emperor not blame, but he is happy to see the Fourth Prince's Palace and the Prince's Palace moving around.
As if he knew what she was thinking, the emperor spoke slowly.
"Recently, there have been too many things happening in the court. I have dealt with them one by one. I have already seen through the plans of my sons. Ye'er and the four kings are both very good. There is nothing to say, so I can rest assured.
, let you work together."
This was the first time Ruan Wanwan heard the emperor say such heart-wrenching words, and she was at a loss for a moment, not knowing how to proceed.
"Yes, your Majesty is wise."
"The emperor's family is the most ruthless, but the most rare thing about the emperor's family is the friendship between brothers and sisters. Ruan Wanwan, do you understand what I mean?"
Ruan Wanwan raised his head and saw the emperor rubbing his temples with a tired look on his face. He did not look like a powerful emperor, but like an ordinary old father in an ordinary family, worried about trivial family matters.
Ruan Wanwan couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Yes, I understand."
"I'm tired. The Queen is worried about Ye'er. You can go back and report to the Queen."
"Yes, I will retire."
After leaving the royal study, I realized that the queen had already sent people to invite her several times. The queen's personal maid was waiting for her in the corridor. Ruan Wanwan immediately followed her to see the queen.
It's late at night now, and the queen hasn't rested yet. Her face is not very good, her eyes are red, and she looks like she has cried.
"I, my concubine, see you, the Queen."
"No need to be polite, get up quickly, good boy, you have been working hard recently."
The queen held her hand and looked at her carefully: "I just visited Ye'er. How many days have I been on tour? He has lost a lot of weight, which is really worrying."
Ruan Wanwan knew that she felt sorry for Bei Liangye: "I have not taken good care of you, please forgive me."
"What's your fault? I've seen all your hard work lately. In the final analysis, it's Ye'er's own fault. He's such an old man and he still doesn't know how to take care of himself."
The queen pulled her to sit down and poured Ruan Wanwan a cup of tea.
Ruan Wanwan comforted her and said, "Don't worry, my dear. Fortunately, the prince's illness is not serious. The doctor said that he will be fine after a few days of rest."
"You have worked hard to take care of Ye'er these past few days."
The queen said and winked at the maid, who quickly brought out a tray with several exquisite boxes on it.
"Take these tonics back. You and Ye'er will use some. I see you have dark circles under your eyes. Don't be too tired. You must take good care of yourself."
"Thank you, ma'am."
The queen waved her hand and all the servants in the room left. It seemed that the queen had something to say to Ruan Wanwan alone.
"I already know about the prescription and the emperor's plan. This matter is too dangerous. The enemy is in the dark and I am in the light. If you are not careful, you will suffer big losses. And you are a weak woman, how should you deal with it?
If it really didn't work, I went back to the emperor and asked the emperor to send someone else to investigate."
Ruan Wanwan knew that the Queen felt sorry for her, and a warm current surged through her heart: "It's okay, Madam, the Emperor also trusts me. Don't worry, I will be more careful and won't let anything happen to me."
The queen looked hesitant. Ruan Wanwan was her daughter-in-law, so she was naturally unwilling to let her take this risk.
But the emperor has already given the order, and Ruan Wanwan has no objection. No matter how unwilling the queen is, there is no other way.
"Well, since the emperor has issued the decree, you can go ahead and do it without worrying about anything. If you encounter any difficulties, just come and tell me, and I will do my best to help you."
"yes."
When she came out of the Queen's Palace, it was already very late. The Queen was worried that she would go back alone, so she sent someone to take her back to the Prince's Mansion.
Ruan Wanwan had been busy all day and running around all night. She was exhausted, but she still had to go to see Beiliangye.
Several attendants had been guarding him in the room, and the butler, who rarely appeared, also came.
Ruan Wanwan held Bei Liangye's hand. It didn't feel as cold as before, and his face became rosier. It seemed that he had improved.
The attendant reported: "The prince has already taken medicine and was given some water just now. The doctor said that he will be fine when he wakes up tomorrow."
"I know, you guys should go down and rest for a while."
Ruan Wanwan was very dissatisfied with their poor care of Bei Liangye, but now Bei Liangye could not live without people. If he were replaced by other servants, he was afraid that he would not be able to serve him well, so he did not let go of these servants for the time being.
They continued to serve Bei Liangye and made mistakes.
Several attendants knew that the princess was angry and did not dare to go down.
"Thank you, Crown Princess, for your consideration. My subordinates are not tired."
Ruan Wanwan said: "Okay, I have been tired from following the prince on patrol these days. Don't stay up now. Go to bed quickly and recuperate so that you can have the energy to serve the prince tomorrow."
After hearing this, the attendants realized that the princess was no longer angry, so they left.
Ruan Wanwan called a few more maids to come and take care of her. When she was about to leave, she saw that the housekeeper was still there, hesitant to speak, as if he had something to report.
"What's wrong?"
"Back to the Crown Princess, during the time you entered the palace, several concubines visited the Crown Prince."
Ruan Wanwan didn't think anything was wrong. The prince was sick and the concubine came to visit. Isn't this normal?
The housekeeper added: "Concubine Xiao is here too."
"Xiao Luxi?"
Ruan Wanwan paused, feeling a little confused.
This Xiao Luxi rarely goes out, and has never been interested in worldly affairs. He only closes the door to eat fast and chant Buddha. This state has lasted for many years. When he sees Beiliang Ye on weekdays, his attitude towards him is also indifferent. Today, he unexpectedly
It's really rare to take the initiative to visit.
"Why is she here?"
The housekeeper said: "I don't know, but Concubine Xiao did not come with the other concubines. She came alone after everyone else left. After asking about His Highness the Crown Prince's situation, he sat for a while and then left.
"
Ruan Wanwan couldn't hear anything wrong. These were Xiao Luxi's usual behavior. Even if she took the initiative to care about others, she would only care about others and never show too much intimacy. It was normal.
Ruan Wanwan was so tired today that she didn't think much about it. She ordered the housekeeper: "If she comes again, you don't have to stop her. Just let her see."
"yes."
The housekeeper responded, cupped his hands to Ruan Wanwan, turned around and left the room.
