Chapter 116: The Younger Daughter of Wang Ma's Third Sister-in-Law's Cousin
Chapter 116: The Younger Daughter of Wang Ma's Third Sister-in-Law's Cousin
When Zhao Zhen returned to the Palace of Tranquil Longevity, he happened to meet Empress Cao face to face.
Queen Cao was refused entry, and her face turned pale and blue, looking very ugly.
Zhao Zhen's sullen face immediately put on a smile: "Your servant greets the Queen."
Empress Cao glanced at him and said in a displeased tone, "Your Majesty's illness is very severe. Does the imperial physician have any way to cure it? You are so bold that you can't even let me in to take a look!"
As she spoke, she became angry.
Zhao Zhen cried out, fell to his knees, and kowtowed repeatedly: "The Queen has wronged me. Your Majesty was afraid that the disease would pass on to the Queen, so he ordered me not to let the Queen visit. How dare I stop the Queen? I am wronged."
Zhao Zhen's head banged against the ground with a clanging sound. Empress Cao looked down at him and spoke after a while, "Alright, since it's His Majesty's order, I won't make it difficult for you. Tell the people in the Imperial Hospital to be careful. If His Majesty has any problem, send someone to tell me in time."
"I obey your command!" Zhao Zhen kowtowed twice again and answered crisply.
It was not until Queen Cao snorted and left that he stood up, covering his forehead.
The young eunuch hurried forward to support him and said, "Eunuch Zhao, are you okay?"
Zhao Zhen rubbed his forehead: "Nothing."
If he didn't know the severity of the blow, he would have used more force when hitting the ground. With those few hits just now, his forehead would have been bleeding.
He looked in the direction where Empress Cao left and did not take her instructions to heart. Compared with her, Zhao Zhen was now more worried about how to report to Emperor Shunde.
When I entered the room, I saw Emperor Shunde lying on the couch, his head supported by one hand and reading a bamboo slip with the other. Beside him was a little palace maid, feeding him grapes in a very proper manner.
When he saw Zhao Zhen, he didn't even raise his eyes: "Where is he?"
Zhao Zhen took two steps at a time and stepped forward, kneeling on the ground: "I deserve to die for not inviting His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
"Since you haven't been invited yet, what are you doing back here? Keep going and invite them until they are invited."
The originally calm voice of Emperor Shunde began to fluctuate. Although his face showed no expression, if one looked closely one could see that his brows were slightly furrowed.
"I'll go right away." Zhao Zhen didn't dare to disobey, and quickly got up from the ground and was about to leave.
"What did the prince say to you?" Emperor Shunde called him.
Zhao Zhen did not dare to hide it and quickly replied: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that he would come back after the matter was completed."
With a loud "bang", the bamboo slips were slammed onto the table by Emperor Shunde.
Zhao Zhen was so scared that he knelt on the ground without any hesitation.
"He's rebelling against me, and he dares to threaten me."
Zhao Zhen didn't dare to say anything.
"Go and tell him that if he doesn't come back, there's no point talking about what's on paper!"
"Minion, I obey your command."
Zhao Zhen shrank his neck and walked out of the house, then hurried back to Yongning Palace in a panic.
After hearing Zhao Zhen's message, Xuanyuan Che smiled slightly and said indifferently: "In that case, go back and tell him what I did. He should not blame me. I did not discuss it with him, I was informing him."
So Zhao Zhen hurried back to the Yangxin Palace.
After going back and forth five or six times, Zhao Zhen held onto the wall of the Hall of Mental Cultivation and sat down on the ground.
I was so tired that I was panting and my legs were shaking.
He had a lot of grievances and thought that if the Crown Prince didn't come back, his legs would be broken from exhaustion sooner or later.
Speaking of Mei Susu, after Xuanyuan Che left, she held up her skirt and started gesturing on her body.
Since there were no outsiders around, she had no worries and stood naked on the couch, preparing to put on her clothes.
But just as he put one leg on, the door of the hall was pushed open with a creak.
Mei Susu was so frightened that she fell on the couch in a panic.
It was not until she heard footsteps that Mei Susu hurriedly pulled the mattress to cover herself. She thought it was Xuanyuan Che, but when the veil was pulled aside, Yueya's little face appeared in her sight.
"Crescent moon!" Mei Susu was overjoyed.
It was Yueya who took care of her when she was a cat, so she was naturally kind to her. Now that she has become a human, she must also want Yueya to serve her.
So when he saw it was her, he excitedly called out her name.
But Yueya didn't know her. Hearing Mei Susu calling her so warmly, Yueya was a little scared. She thought that she was unruly and had taken the gauze curtain without permission, which made the nobleman angry. So she quickly took a step back, knelt on the ground, and began to beg for mercy.
Mei Susu grabbed the clothes on her legs, put on the mattress and ran out of bed.
She squatted in front of Yueya, pulled her up from the ground, and said to her with a smile: "Sister Yueya, don't you recognize me? I was the daughter of Mei Susu, the cousin of Nanny Wang's third aunt, from the palace next door to you when you were a child."
Yueya opened her mouth, her face full of confusion: "????"
"Oh, I knew you couldn't remember. It's okay, I just need to remember you. I'm favored by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. From now on, you will stay by my side and serve me. I promise not to treat you unfairly."
When Mei Susu smiles, there are two shallow dimples on her face, her eyes are clear and bright, and her whole body exudes innocence and purity, which makes people involuntarily want to get close to her, trust her, and then pamper her.
Yueya was naturally attracted by her bright smile and did not doubt her words.
After all, she was just a little palace maid and had nothing, so the other party could not find her for anything they wanted.
Maybe it was really as she said, they had met when they were young. After all, she was sold into the palace when she was young, and she had never told anyone except a few people who knew about it.
If she lied, how did she know this?
So she must have forgotten, Yueya thought.
In fact, this matter was really a coincidence. How could Mei Susu know when she entered the palace? She subconsciously thought that Xuanyuan Che would not use people he doubted. Since Yueya was sent by him to take care of Susu, she must be someone Xuanyuan Che trusted very much.
The people he could trust were either those who grew up under his nose or secret guards like Zhuixue and Zhuiyu who were trained by him personally.
But Yueya has no martial arts skills, so Meisusu made a blind guess about the first one.
I never thought I would guess it right.
"Yueya, come here." Mei Susu pulled Yueya to the bedside and brought the clothes over: "It's just right that you're here. This dress is really cumbersome. Please help me put it on."
As she said that, Mei Susu threw away the quilt and stood naked in front of Yueya.
Crescent Moon: “!!!!!!”
Look no further!
She lowered her head in panic.
Mei Susu didn't feel uncomfortable at all. They were all women and had seen everything. When she shared a bed with her best friend in modern times, she even touched her big bear and said that it was not as big as her own.
Ancient people were still too conservative.
"Don't just stand there, help me." Mei Susu had already lifted up her clothes and was waiting for Yueya to help her adjust the ribbon on her back.
Yueya let out two "ohs" and quickly changed her clothes.
Looking at Mei Susu's white and tender skin like tofu, Yueya couldn't help but exclaim: "My lady, your skin is so good, and you are also very beautiful. You are the second most beautiful person I have ever seen."
