Chapter 295 The Queen Mother is Sick
The emperor called Bei Jingyu over and asked, "Aren't you always thinking about your elder sister? Why don't you speak?"
"You keep talking about it when no one is around. Why are you still shy now that your elder sister is here?"
Bei Jingyu came over and comforted her in an unskilled manner: "Don't be sad, elder sister."
Bei Jingchu: ...Such comfort from a straight man.
After the meal, the emperor sent his stupid son away, and Bei Jingchu took the initiative to admit his mistake: "Aye, I was too emotional."
Bei Heng sighed: "Humans are not plants or trees, so who can be heartless?"
"Emotions are the thing that can most easily affect judgment."
He closed his eyes and said, "You have to know that the people around you are more likely to make big mistakes in the future."
"Because those who are not close to you have been eliminated year after year. They have no money or power and cannot make any waves."
"On the contrary, you will promote those who follow you and give them high positions and generous salaries. The more power they hold, the greater the trouble they will cause."
Bei Jing had mixed feelings when she first heard this, as these were advices that Aye had drawn from his own personal experiences.
She replied: "Killing the people around you is like removing bones and flesh, but if the rotten flesh is not removed, people will die."
"I will remember to make sure I make it when I have to."
But, it's okay if you make a mistake.
Bei Jingchu still felt uncomfortable when she executed her relatives and friends who were implicated in the case in order to make an example of them.
The emperor looked tired, as if he had been very busy recently and had not had a good rest for a long time.
But the number of memorials on the desk was not much more than before, probably because he was not in good spirits.
He took a sip of the strong tea and put down the cup.
"With great power comes great responsibility. If you want to shoulder the responsibility of the entire Daiyue, you can't let your emotions control your mind."
"I am not asking you to give up all feelings and love, but I am saying that you can cry and swing a knife at the same time."
"Forget it this time. I believe you will figure it out. You are a smart child."
"The Queen Mother and the others miss you very much. Go and pay your respects."
Bei Jingchu bowed and went out, knowing that the matter was over.
When you enter the main hall of Renshou Palace, you are greeted by a strong smell of medicine.
The Queen Mother leaned on the couch, looking at the door with a smile as she walked in.
"Chu'er is here, come quickly and let Grandmother take a look."
Bei Jingchu quickened his pace and hurried over.
"What's wrong with Grandmother?"
She thought it was an excuse to reject Jiujiu's request for help.
Although it is far from the point where he cannot face people, it now seems that the excuse is true and his bedridden illness is also true.
Aunt Hui replied, "Your Highness, the imperial physician said it was a heart disease."
Heart disease......
She must be sad too.
But he could only stay in Renshou Hall and force himself not to interfere.
Just as Aye said, you can be sad, but crying and wielding a knife do not conflict with each other.
She pinched Bei Jingchu's face, which had become thinner due to weight gain, and found that not much flesh could be removed.
"What a sin, Heng'er, you really made our Chu'er suffer."
Bei Jing didn't agree when she first arrived: "Grandmother, Aye is trying to protect me."
Maybe Aye didn't know how much sanity she had left.
If she had caused trouble at that time, such as intercepting the prison cell and replacing people, she would have lost her position as crown prince.
So locking him up is the safest option.
The Queen Mother's eyes lit up as if she had thought of something.
"I just had a dream. I saw Sister Qiu. She took Qin'er away."
"It was the first time I saw my grandson, and I loved him so much."
"I liked it so much that I took it away."
"I scolded her and told her not to do such a thing even if she wanted the child."
Bei Jingchu listened and asked, "So, Mrs. Qiu likes him very much, right?"
"Then he should be very happy."
The Queen Mother smiled and said, "Yes, that child is very happy."
"That's great. I'll be able to go there and be with them later."
"The late emperor is not around to bother us, so we are the only ones here. We are bored and play backgammon, chess, and leaf chess together."
Bei Jingchu found this discouraging and interrupted her: "May our great mother live a long life, so let my cousins wait for a few more decades."
The Queen Mother still smiled and said, "Don't worry, I am still strong and will not die so soon."
"We can hold on for a few more years until the children of your generation grow up."
Although she is over 50 years old, she doesn't have many worries in her daily life and she takes good care of herself, so she looks like she is almost 40.
This time, her hands looked much more dry and yellow than before, and she looked older all of a sudden.
She stroked Bei Jingchu's hair and said, "At least we have to wait until our Chu'er can really stand on his own feet."
We stayed in Renshou Hall late, but luckily the East Palace was connected to Taiji Palace, so we didn't have to worry about not being able to get out because the palace gate was locked.
When Bei Jingchu went out, she heard Aunt Hui say, "Your Highness, the Imperial Concubine and the Virtuous Concubine are waiting."
Bei Jingchu paused, "Do they want to pay their respects to the Great Mother?"
"No, you two often come to Renshou Hall to pay respects, and this time we came here specially to wait for you..."
Bei Jingchu rushed to the side hall, and the two sat down and chatted.
When they saw people coming, they all greeted them with a smile.
The imperial concubine simply took her arm and walked out.
"We can't wait any longer. We thought you would go from Renshou Palace to Xunfeng Palace and then to Xianchi Palace. We have to wait until tomorrow."
"Auntie can't wait to see if our little prince has lost weight."
"It's getting late. I won't bother the Queen Mother anymore. I'll just tie you up and take you to Xunfeng Palace."
Bei Jingchu:? ? ?
The imperial concubine said with a little pride: "In order to prevent you from being unhappy, I also dragged Sister Kong along."
The virtuous concubine had no expression on her face, but she stood beside her, clearly looking very supportive.
Bei Jingchu was half-dragged and half-walked to Xunfeng Palace by the two women who were missing her like crazy.
The imperial concubine held her arm, feeling extremely distressed.
"Look at these arms and waist, they have lost a lot of weight."
"You need to eat more to replenish your body." The imperial concubine was busy in the small kitchen preparing meals.
Bei Jingchu refused: "Auntie, I've already had dinner."
The imperial concubine said that the refusal was futile: "Then have some more midnight snacks."
"There's no fat on my stomach, how can this be okay?"
Bei Jingchu turned to her master for help, but Concubine Xian cruelly looked away and agreed, "You are a martial artist, so it is better for you to be a little fatter. This is a token of my kindness."
Fortunately, she walked around and digested a lot of it, so Bei Jingchu didn't have to run away from this heavy midnight snack.
Fortunately, she was not raised by a royal concubine, otherwise she would have grown into a ball.
Concubine Xian asked with concern: "What is your Majesty's attitude now?"
"Do you need my help?"
Bei Jingchu didn't rush to answer as she was curious about her help.
"How is Master going to help me?"
The virtuous concubine still looked cold and indifferent, and said slowly: "I usually stay away from the world, but I still have a few friends among the concubines."
?
"The imperial concubine has even more friends."
?
"so?"
The virtuous concubine gave a serious suggestion: "Let them persuade your father-in-law."
Bei Jingchu thought about the scene. As soon as his father entered the harem to look for concubines, the concubines brainwashed him in his ears: The prince is good~ The prince is good~ The prince is the best~
What's wrong with feeling a little miserable?
"...If necessary, it doesn't seem impossible."
She was touched by her master's kindness, but declined, saying that Aye did not intend to settle the score anymore.
Xian Fei was a little worried: "Really? Don't be so stubborn."
"Master still relies on you for his old age."
"Really, really, um!"
As he was speaking, the imperial concubine beside him took advantage of the opportunity to stuff a mouthful of shrimp into his mouth.
