Chapter 415 - 415 - Not bad craftsmanship"Hmm, your cooking skills are indeed quite good. You"ve been busy the entire afternoon. Go and rest!" The Queen closed her eyes again.
Wei Yuanwei bent down, saluted obediently, and then left.
The moment Wei Yuanwei left, the Empress"s dozing eyes quickly opened, and her indifferent eyes burst forth with an extremely biting cold light, filled with craftiness and profoundness.
If you let her stay in the palace, the longer you can get along with the crown prince, then who knows when the authority of the Eastern Palace will fall into her hands. Eunuch Li, will you settle this matter tonight? The Queen looked at the smoke rising from the censer and said indifferently and viciously.
Eunuch Li who was waiting at the side heard her question and her face froze for a moment: "Then, what if the crown prince asks?"
"This girl has a wild personality. She accidentally fell into a well and drowned in the middle of the night. Could it be that she also needs me to take responsibility?" The empress"s tone mentioned a decibel.
Eunuch Li bent down immediately, and replied respectfully: "This servant will definitely take care of this matter thoroughly tonight!"
The moment Wei Yuanwei walked out of Weiyang Palace, the docile smile on her face instantly turned into a cold expression. As he faced this ice face all day, her smile was about to turn stiff.
No matter how this queen looked at it, her entire body was cold like a thousand-year zombie. When she didn"t speak, she shocked everyone, but when she did she worried that she might jump out like a zombie at any moment and bite them.
"Aiya, I"m sorry, I"m sorry …" Wei Yuanwei had not walked more than a few steps when he was knocked into by a palace maid who was carrying a cup of tea. The hit splashed all over Wei Yuanwei"s body and following that, the palace maid immediately used a handkerchief to wipe Wei Yuanwei"s body.
Wei Yuanwei immediately used his hand to wipe away the blood, but his hand actually came across a hard object. The palace maid used the handkerchief in her hand as a cover and directly placed a piece of paper into Wei Yuanwei"s hand.
Without waiting for Wei Yuanwei to say anything, the palace maid quickly left.
Wei Yuanwei looked around, and then found a place with no people, he opened the slip of paper in her hand, and saw the contents inside, Wei Yuanwei"s back felt cold.
This Queen actually wants her life?
On a moonlit night, Eunuch Li led a few eunuchs to"s room. One of the eunuchs picked up a cigarette, broke the paper on the door, and blew the smoke in. Not long after, a few young eunuchs walked in and carried a person out.
Wei Yuanwei hid in the shadows and personally watched as the eunuch threw the person in the gunny sack into the well. Then, with a "plop" sound, she fell into the water.
Eunuch Li looked into the well for a long time. After seeing that there were no movements, he left.
After waiting for Eunuch Li and the rest to leave, Wei Yuanwei then came out of the darkness, patting his chest in fear. If not for Zhong Lixian"s reminder, the person who was thrown into the well would really be her.
A trace of killing intent quickly flashed through Wei Yuanwei"s clear and beautiful eyes, and he swiftly left the scene of the crime.
Today was the seventh day of the new year, and on the day that the emperor came to the empress"s palace to eat, the empress knew that the emperor hadn"t even gone to the imperial court in the past few days for Princess Xi Ya"s matters. Thus, she only asked the kitchen to make a few delicious and exquisite snacks, leaving a few caring palace maids by his side to wait on him.
"Your majesty, although I only have this one princess, now that the princess has become like this, it"s not suitable for me to let her stay in the palace. It"s better to take her out of the palace and find an imperial physician to treat her." The empress spoke softly while giving the emperor a gentle temple.
Perhaps only in front of the emperor could the empress"s expression be gentle and amiable.
The emperor frowned even more when he heard this. "At this point, this is the only way out. If we allow the princess to continue to stay in the palace, it will only harm our country"s reputation. We have already ordered someone to prepare."
When he was young, he was so cute and made people ache for him. Why did he turn into this when he grew up, and why was he so disrespectful and ungrateful? As long as he was awake, he would never say a word about him leaving his man.
When the empress heard that Huang Shoudao had already made up his mind, she knew that there was no need to persuade him otherwise. Right now, all the empress was unwilling to part with the Princess Xi Ya, but as time went by, the empress would naturally forget about it.
"Your majesty, it"s been a few days since you last had a proper meal for the princess. Today, you should eat more or less; you should think about the dragon"s physique!" Just as the Queen finished speaking, the Eunuch Li walked in.
"Your majesty, the empress, the crown prince is here!"
The Queen looked at Eunuch Li and the gentleness in his eyes faded. The crown prince"s injuries had not fully healed yet, why did she suddenly come?
Of course, there was no need to explain. He definitely wanted to take advantage of the emperor"s presence to take the girl back.
What a pity … He could only get a cold corpse.
The Eunuch Li knew what the Queen wanted to do, so she nodded at his.
Only then did the empress relax. "Since Xing"er is here, let him in quickly. It"s freezing outside, we can"t let him freeze."
His Majesty was now angry at Zhong Lixian. If it wasn"t for Zhong Lixian, Princess Xi Ya wouldn"t have married Xie w.a.n.g in Eastern Chu, and he wouldn"t have fallen to this state.
He then warmly advised, "Your majesty, although the princess" marriage was brought up by Yin"er, you should be clear about the princess" temper. This matter cannot be blamed on Yin"er, he was defeated by Xie w.a.n.g himself, and he had to marry Xie w.a.n.g, Xing"er had merely sent a letter to Your majesty!"
When the Emperor heard the Empress"s words, he nodded but his brows did not loosen. He sighed, "At that time, I should not have allowed Xia to follow Zhou`er and send her to the Eastern Chu!"
Zhong Lixian was pushed into the room by Little Yun Zi on a wooden wheelchair.
"This son greets royal father and mother," Zhong Lixian said as she bent down to pay her respects.
Seeing this, the emperor hurriedly said, "Your leg injury has not healed yet, so you should dispense with all this red tape!"
"Yin"er, why aren"t you recuperating at the crown prince"s palace? Why did you come to Mother?" If there"s anything, can"t you just get Little Yun Zi, who"s beside you, to pa.s.s it on? " The empress looked at Zhong Lixian with a kind smile, her tone seemed to be blaming him, but it was more of concern.
The Emperor glanced at his legs, which were covered by a layer of velvet. "Did you come here to tell me something? The imperial physician said that your leg ailment won"t be able to get out of the bed for a month! "
This is the first time this young lady has entered the palace, and does not understand the rules of the palace. After the empress saw this young lady, she had to take her back to the palace to personally teach her, and was afraid that this young lady would run into your father"s side in the future, and after giving you guidance, she would send you back to your son"s palace. But just now, this young lady suddenly felt an itch in her leg, and after inviting the imperial physician, this son could not make a decision, and this son happened to have some matters regarding the Princess Xi Ya, so he decided to tell my father himself.
