Chapter 240 Qi Ru is in a state of panic; Ruyi shows weakness to Zhen Huan
Qi Ru: "Hey, I've already resigned from the emperor."
Zhu Quan: "Then the Emperor agreed?"
Qi Ru shook his head: "You, learn well, because you will take over my job in the future."
"Yes, Master. Then would you like to ask the Queen Mother for help?"
"Hmph, if I go to beg the Queen Mother now, I'll really be dead." With that, the two of them went back to the Imperial Hospital one after the other.
Seeing that Doctor Qi had a serious expression these days, Jiang Yebi often sat alone in his seat in a daze.
Zhu Quan quickly took over most of the work, and Qi Ru would send him to treat all the ladies below the rank of concubine.
In the past, he always waited for his master outside the Yangxin Palace. Ever since Qi Ru resigned last time, he followed his master into the Yangxin Palace to check the emperor's pulse.
Hongli also knew that Qi Ru really didn't want to do it anymore, but he still didn't give in.
For dinner, Ruyi accompanied Hongli to the Cining Palace.
Zhen Huan asked, "Emperor, when will the Western Tour to Mount Wutai be scheduled?"
Hongli replied: "On the thirteenth of this month, and on the third of next month, I will return to Luan. You can rest assured that your son will be with you."
Zhen Huan nodded, and Fujia served a dish of golden soup with oatmeal and fish maw.
Fish maw is as famous as bird's nest and shark fin.
It is one of the "Eight Delicacies".
It is also known as the "marine ginseng".
Not only does it have a unique taste, it is also extremely rare.
Zhen Huan said, "The Emperor has been working hard lately, he should take good care of himself."
As she said this, she was about to serve the food to Hongli herself.
Hongli did not refuse. He waited for the empress dowager to serve him the food and then took a bite.
"Thank you for your concern, Empress Dowager." His tone was light.
Zhen Huan chuckled: "Of course I care about the emperor."
After dinner, Hongli returned to the Yangxin Palace.
Only Ruyi was left to chat with the Queen Mother.
Zhen Huan was playing with the tabby cat.
She said, "Shupin really believed you."
Ruyi: "Madam, your Majesty, I am doing this for you. Concubine Shu is trapped by herself. In fact, she really is like me."
Zhen Huan raised her eyes and said, "Yes, what you are seeking is harder to pick than the moon in the sky."
"Empress Mother, the Emperor already knows that Qi Ru works for you. Please make a decision as soon as possible on how to deal with this person."
Zhen Huan nodded: "Yes, the Queen is thoughtful."
"This is for the sake of securing my position as Queen."
Zhen Huan looked at her and said, "Didn't you say that the position of Queen is what you care least about?"
Ruyi: "Yes, I don't care, but now I am the Queen, and there are so many eyes watching me. I only hope to protect the people I care about. I beg the Queen Mother to grant me this."
"You are the queen, why do you need to beg me?"
"You have conquered Lian Jinse, and you have the emperor's exclusive favor. You have already won."
Ruyi shook her head: "The road ahead is uncertain, and I, your son, cannot see clearly."
Zhen Huan curled her lips and said, "I know. Don't worry, I will definitely take care of you and the children. But as for the Emperor... you know what to do."
Ruyi stood up and saluted, "Thank you, Empress Dowager, for your favor. I will serve you wholeheartedly."
Rong Pei helped Ruyi out of the Cining Palace.
Rong Pei asked, "Your Majesty, what are you worried about?" Ruyi's words just now made her suspicious. Ruyi's situation should be very good, but why did she show weakness to the empress dowager?
Ruyi asked, "Don't you see that the Emperor and the Empress Dowager are at loggerheads?"
"I have noticed this, but what does this have to do with you showing weakness to the Queen Mother?"
