Chapter 348: The Plan Failed
When Xie Yu heard what Nanny Wu said, his expression improved a little and he looked at the angry empress dowager.
"Mother, if you want someone you like by your side, I can order the eldest prince to come to Ci'an Palace to serve you."
The Queen Mother's expression did not improve at all because of Xie Yu's words, and it was even gloomier than before.
Who is the eldest prince?
With my mother's background, she will never be able to reach that position in the future.
No matter how outstanding the eldest prince is, it would be a waste of her efforts. What's the point of raising him?
The Queen Mother sighed, and instantly put away her dissatisfaction.
Showing weakness again
"Your Majesty, my mother is old and knows she is useless. Forget it. Since your Majesty does not want the Second Prince to be raised in Ci'an Palace, I will not force it. Please do not let this matter hurt the relationship between us mother and son. In the past three years, my mother has always been thinking about the past days."
As she spoke, the Queen Mother's eyes turned red, and the nostalgia in her eyes still touched Xie Yu.
After all, Xie Yu could not easily forget the mother-son relationship of so many years.
Aunt Wu quickly offered her a handkerchief
"Hey, Queen Mother, your headache has never been cured, please don't cry. If you have a headache, it will hurt so much that you can't sleep. You have to take care of yourself."
Xie Yu asked with concern, "Mother, your headache has gotten worse again. I will summon the imperial physician to Ci'an Palace immediately."
Seeing the worry in Xie Yu's eyes, the Queen Mother immediately said, "No need, Your Majesty, it's all old illness, and it's useless even if the imperial physician sees you."
Xie Yu looked at the empress dowager's sad expression, and finally, when he left, he still did not agree to let Xie Ziyi be raised in Ci'an Palace.
After Xie Yu left
The Queen Mother got angry again
Wang Chu came in and took the initiative to rub the Queen Mother's head
"Empress Dowager, what's wrong with you? You are so angry. I just saw the emperor leave, and his face didn't look very good."
Nanny Wu immediately reprimanded Wang Chu for being too talkative. Wang Chu bowed his head respectfully, not daring to say anything more. The Queen Mother felt distressed when she saw this.
The Queen Mother now trusts Wang Chu very much and requires Wang Chu to serve her personally every day.
The Queen Mother frowned, "Okay, Nanny, Wang Chu is someone close to me and he is just concerned about me, why do you have to scold him?"
Nanny Wu frowned as she saw how the Queen Mother was favoring Wang Chu.
She regretted more and more that she should have stopped Wang Chu from serving the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother now trusts Wang Chu very much. Just a few days ago, she gave the position of the chief steward of Ci'an Palace directly to Wang Chu.
From now on, I'm afraid that Wang Chu will step on her head by relying on his appearance that is the same as that man.
Nanny Wu's eyes turned fierce, and her expression changed when she looked at Wang Chu.
I am the one who has accompanied the Queen Mother from her residence to today. How can I let a mere eunuch take away my place beside the Queen Mother?
Wang Chu sensed the change in Nanny Wu next to him, and became more respectful, lowering his eyebrows and keeping his posture to the lowest level.
How could the Queen Mother bear to see him looking so pitiful with a face that looked just like her first love?
She couldn't help but put her hand on Wang Chu's face, her eyes flashing with a hint of fascination.
Nanny Wu reminded, "Your Majesty, Wang Chu is a eunuch."
The Queen Mother came to her senses, abruptly withdrew her hand, and realizing her recent misconduct, her eyes darkened.
"It's nothing. Your Majesty, come here and tell me that the Second Prince cannot be kept in my Ci'an Palace."
Wang Chu said, "Empress Dowager, in my opinion, it is better for you not to keep the Second Prince by your side. Today, the Second Prince cried so hard as soon as he left Concubine Lan. The Second Prince is still young. If he really goes to our Ci'an Palace and hurts his body by crying, I am afraid that the Emperor will be even more alienated from you, Empress Dowager. Tell me, is this not worth the loss?"
After Wang Chu said this, the Queen Mother's mood immediately improved a lot.
"You are the only one who knows how to talk. However, what you said makes sense. I really cannot be estranged from the emperor any longer. Forget it, let's not talk about this matter anymore. Let the second prince be raised by Concubine Lan."
Seeing that Wang Chu once again appeased the Queen Mother with just a few words, Nanny Wu became even more dissatisfied.
Wait until Aunt Wu goes down to prepare the sweet soup
Wang Chu suddenly said, "Empress Dowager, I have something to say, but I don't know if I should say it or not."
The Queen Mother lay on her side on the couch, enjoying Wang Chu's massage very much.
"Go ahead, what do you want to say?"
Wang Chu let go of his hands, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed respectfully.
"Empress Dowager, please let me go back to the Imperial Service Office. I have been very happy since I was promoted by you. But, Aunt Wu seems to be on guard against me these past few days. Heaven and earth can bear witness to my loyalty to you."
The Queen Mother looked at Wang Chu who was kneeling on the ground.
Since Wang Chu appeared in the palace with the same face as his, and was not sent to her by others, Wang Chu must be a servant in her Ci'an Palace.
The Queen Mother said, "I know that Nanny Wu has been with me for many years and is the person I trust the most. She is not on guard against you, she is just being cautious. Well, don't worry. From now on, with me here, what are you afraid of?"
Wang Chu then stood up, walked to the Queen Mother and continued to rub her head.
When the Queen Mother opened her eyes, she saw Wang Chu's jaw and was slightly dazed.
How could anyone imagine something like that when his expression was almost identical to his? Even the frown was the same.
Is there really such a thing as reincarnation?
Of course, the Queen Mother didn't know that Wang Chu had been secretly trained, so she had already figured out his expression.
If he couldn't achieve 90% similarity, he would never be arranged to be by the Queen Mother's side.
When Nanny Wu entered the palace carrying the sweet soup, she felt the coldness on the Queen Mother's face and her heart tightened.
The Empress Dowager hasn't looked at her like this for many years. What happened?
Second day
Li Shiwen got up early. He didn't sleep much all night, waiting for today's news.
She was extremely worried. Until noon, Nanny Wu did not come to her palace to take Xie Ziyi away.
Li Shiwen's heart finally settled down, she knew that Ziyi could stay with her.
The Queen Mother's wish to keep Zi Yi by her side has come to an end.
Fortunately, everything happened as the Queen had expected, and she and Ziyi no longer had to be separated.
Zhonghe Palace
Lin Junxue was making pastries when Xie Yu walked in with Gao Cheng.
Lin Junxue put down the cake in her hand
"Your Majesty, what's going on?"
As he spoke, he told Qiao Xin to serve tea, and then sat down next to Xie Yu.
Xie Yu pulled Lin Junxue's hand, squeezed it gently, and said in a deep voice.
"Jun'er, I don't agree with your mother's wish to keep Ziyi by her side. Last night I went to Ci'an Palace and suggested sending Wuji to your side, but your mother rejected my idea outright."
Lin Junxue paused. She didn't expect that Xie Yu had proposed to keep Wuji in Ci'an Palace yesterday.
From what I hear, it seems that the Queen Mother doesn't like Wuji.
Yes, with the Queen Mother's personality, how could she care about someone she didn't even like?
