Chapter 286: Return to the Palace Postponed
Chapter 286: Return to the Palace Postponed
Xie Yu did not expect that Ye Yushuang encountered several dangerous situations along the way, and even met vicious bandits in the Chushan area halfway.
The Lin family guards fought desperately to protect Ye Yushuang, and in the end, she escaped safely, and the baby in her belly was not hurt at all, so the danger was turned into safety.
Yesterday, Ye Yushuang arrived at the border and met the father and son of the Lin family.
Lin Junxue observed Xie Yu's expression calmly, and then continued to sip her tea.
Eyes slightly deepened
It seems that Ye Yushuang and his group have arrived at the border safely. Xie Yu's plan failed, so he is naturally in a bad mood.
This time, Ye Yushuang left Kyoto. Even if Xie Yu did not send anyone to take action, he would definitely send people to follow her all the way. Therefore, the news would naturally come to her faster than to her.
In addition to her planning, this matter also helped Ye Yushuang get away as she wished.
The most important thing is that Xie Yu looked down on women from the beginning to the end, and he looked down on Ye Yushuang even more.
Xie Yu thought that Ye Yushuang was a weak woman who was pregnant, and the journey of thousands of miles would be extremely dangerous.
How can Ye Yushuang, a mere woman, protect herself and her child?
It’s a pity that Xie Yu will never understand a woman’s nature and wisdom.
Ye Yushuang is the best among women, but even though she is so outstanding, she still cannot catch Xie Yu's eye, and he only thinks of her as a weakling.
Xie Yu looked at Lin Junxue. He seemed happy, but there was no joy in his eyes.
"Jun'er, I came here today just to tell you that Ye Yushuang and the Lin family arrived safely at your father and brother's place yesterday. They have been settled now, so you don't have to worry."
Lin Junxue showed a look of relief
"That's good now. With my sister-in-law taking care of my brother, I can rest assured."
Seeing that Lin Junxue was so happy these days, Xie Yu let it go.
He said, "Well, you must be very tired during these days. I will go south in the spring of next year. You can arrange the list of concubines who will accompany me."
When Lin Junxue heard that Xie Yu was going south, her eyes deepened slightly.
As an emperor, Xie Yu would go on a tour to the south every three years to inspect the people's conditions.
Next year when we go south, she can also follow me to Li Gong, which is not bad.
Moreover, the Empress Dowager was going back to the palace in March, and Xie Yu went south in February.
Before the Queen Mother returns to the palace, she needs to make Xie Yu love her more and trust her, so that she can have more capital to confront the Queen Mother.
Once the Queen Mother returns to the palace, the difficulty of the palace fight will not be the same as it is now. She will fight with the champion of the previous palace fight.
Going south, this is a good opportunity.
Lin Junxue thought for a moment and said softly, "Your Majesty, we will go south after the New Year, but the Queen Mother will return to the palace in March, and the southern tour will take at least two months. Wouldn't this mean that we will miss the Queen Mother's return to the palace?"
Lin Junxue knew that even if she didn't mention it, Xie Yu would still remember it.
Why not, she bring it up now and see how Xie Yu arranges this matter?
Xie Yu said in a deep voice, "I have also considered this matter. I originally promised my mother that she would return to the palace in March, but the southern tour has already been decided and cannot be changed. In a few days, I will send someone to Yushan to tell my mother that she can return to the palace in May. It doesn't matter if it's delayed for two months. Political affairs are more important."
Lin Junxue didn't expect that there would be an unexpected gain. In order to go south, Xie Yu asked the empress dowager to return to the palace in May, so he was two months late.
If the Queen Mother knew, she would probably be so angry that she would die.
If she didn't add fuel to the fire at this time, she would really be sorry for the Queen Mother's calculations and murderous actions against the original owner over the years.
If she had sent someone to Yushan to deliver a message asking the empress dowager to return to the palace two months later, it would be much more murderous than Xie Yu's decree.
Lin Junxue stood up, walked over to Xie Yu and sat down, then spoke softly.
"Your Majesty, for this matter, why not let me issue an order and go to Yushan?"
Xie Yu frowned, "Jun'er, what do you mean? I will issue the decree for this matter."
Lin Junxue shook her head
"Your Majesty, my mother is eager to return to the palace. A few years ago, your Majesty and my mother had a quarrel over this matter. Your Majesty promised that my mother would return to the palace in March and would welcome her with a grand ceremony. But now, in order to go on a southern tour, your Majesty has to consider government affairs and let my mother return to the palace in May. It has been delayed for another two months. My mother..."
At this point, Lin Junxue paused deliberately, and Xie Yu took her hand.
"Jun'er, go on."
Lin Junxue sighed softly
"Your Majesty, it is inevitable that my mother will be angry and create a rift between you and me. In order to prevent my mother from feeling dissatisfied again, I will issue an order on this matter. Even if my mother is dissatisfied, she should be satisfied with me. Please do not ruin the relationship between you and me."
Of course, Lin Junxue had to issue the decree personally not only to anger the Queen Mother.
Moreover, in the future, when the Queen Mother returns to the palace, she will definitely plot against her.
Naturally, she had no intention of letting the Queen Mother, the murderer of the original owner, go. The two sides would fight to the death.
Now, if she did this, and the Queen Mother blatantly wanted to target her, then Xie Yu would definitely think that the Queen Mother was deliberately making things difficult for her because of this matter.
In this way, Xie Yu's heart will naturally lean towards her.
Xie Yu took Lin Junxue's hand and patted it. He was touched that Lin Junxue considered everything for him, even at the cost of offending the Queen Mother.
Jun'er took the overall situation into consideration so as not to damage the mother-son relationship between him and his mother.
Xie Yu said, "Okay, let's do as Jun'er said. You will send someone to Yushan to inform my mother about this. When my mother returns to the palace, I will explain it to her in person when I have the chance."
Lin Junxue shook her head
"Your Majesty, you don't need to explain anything to my mother. I am willing to do anything for you. Even if you really explain, my mother may not believe it. Let's just forget it."
Of course Lin Junxue couldn't let Xie Yu explain to the Queen Mother
If he explained, wouldn't his order be in vain?
Xie Yu nodded, thinking that Lin Junxue was considering him wholeheartedly.
He said helplessly, "Okay, I won't say anything, just listen to Jun'er. Jun'er, you have been wronged in this matter. In the future, I will definitely compensate you well."
Xie Yu said, holding Lin Junxue in his arms
Lin Junxue leaned on Xie Yu's chest, lowered her head, and slowly smiled.
The more rugged the Queen Mother's journey back to the palace is, the angrier she will probably be.
But it’s not enough
Second day
Lin Junxue got up early and personally served Xie Yu in the morning court.
Perhaps it was because Xie Yu had been so busy at Zhonghe Palace that he didn't need Lin Junxue's service the next day.
Today, Lin Junxue occasionally got up to serve him, and Xie Yu seemed to be in a very good mood.
Lin Junxue watched Xie Yu leave with a happy face. After he left, she immediately put away her smile, turned around, and returned to the palace.
In less than half an hour, Lin Junxue sent someone to Yushan to convey the order, asking the empress dowager to return to the palace in May.
Zhonghe Palace
After Lin Junxue had lunch, Ning'an Palace came to report that Qin Shushu was unwell in the morning.
The imperial physician was just summoned and he diagnosed that the woman is pregnant and has been pregnant for more than a month.
Lin Junxue washed her hands slowly and waved, letting the palace maid who had reported the matter go down first.
The women in Qin Shushu's family were all fertile. Less than a year after entering the palace, she became pregnant.
It seems that the genes for easy fertility are indeed strong.
