It's too hard to chase after the demon concubine

Chapter 33
After about half a stick of incense, Ruyi led Imperial Physician Lin to come.

It was an old man in his sixties, his temples were already grey, but he was full of vigor and brows.

When he entered the door, he took a look at the empress dowager's slightly gloomy face, his brows were slightly lowered, he hid the glint in his eyes, brushed off his clothes and bowed down, "The old minister sees the empress dowager."

The queen mother just waved her hand to signal him to get up, and asked straight to the point, "Did the emperor get injured last night?"

A trace of surprise flashed across the eyes of Imperial Physician Lin, and then he said, "Report to the Empress Dowager, Your Majesty..."

"Ai family must listen to the truth!"

Doctor Lin paused for a moment, then said with a normal expression: "The emperor was indeed injured last night."

"Is it serious?"

"Please rest assured, Empress Dowager, it's just some skin trauma, just a few days of recuperation will be enough!"

Hearing what Doctor Lin said, the Queen Mother frowned, and a dark light flashed in her eyes, "Is that really the case?"

"Yes!"

The queen mother took a step forward slowly, staring intently at Imperial Physician Lin, with a smile on her face, but a sharp look in her eyes, "If that's the case, why did the emperor block the news?"

Doctor Lin's eyes flickered, and he lowered his head slightly and said in a deep voice, "Because the emperor doesn't want the empress dowager to worry!"

"Oh?"

A simple word, but a terrifying pressure fell in the air.

Doctor Lin's body tensed slightly, but there was no panic in his expression, "The emperor knows that you have always loved the empress, if you knew that the empress stabbed the emperor, you would be heartbroken and embarrassing, and the emperor doesn't want to see you sad, so Only then did the news of the injury be blocked from the outside world!"

These words are reasonable and impeccable. The queen mother narrowed her eyes slightly, and her gaze stayed on the face of Imperial Physician Lin for a long time before raising her eyebrows slightly, "Is that really the case?"

"I will never dare to lie to the Empress Dowager!"

Vaguely, Imperial Physician Lin seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

"You step back!"

"Yes! Weichen resigns!"

After saying that, Imperial Physician Lin saluted, and slowly exited the hall. When he was out the door, he slightly raised his hand to wipe the thin sweat from his forehead, and strode away.

In the main hall, the queen mother glanced at the rising red sun outside the window, the corners of her lips slightly raised, but the smile did not reach her eyes, "Ruyi, from now on I will order people to secretly observe the emperor's every move. Sorry to report."

Hearing this, Ruyi's eyes flickered with shock, "Empress Dowager, don't you believe what Doctor Lin said?"

"Hmph! Lin An is just an old fox! Aijia doesn't believe that the emperor just suffered a skin trauma."

"Yes! This servant will pass on the order."

After Ruyi finished speaking, she walked towards the outside of the hall, but was stopped by the queen mother, she immediately stopped, "What orders does the queen mother have?"

"Order Chiying to search for Yun Ruo in secret, once found, bring her to see Ai's family immediately, remember, don't hurt her at all!"

Hearing this, Ruyi was slightly startled. Chiying is a secret guard organization of the royal family. Its power spreads all over the rivers and lakes and courts, but it is mysterious and unpredictable. They're all on the move!

As if seeing the suspicion in Ruyi's heart, the Empress Dowager smiled slightly, "Under the reward, dragons and snakes are mixed together, Yun Ruo is simple-minded, and has no power to restrain a chicken. The Ai family will never let Yun Ruo fall into the hands of others!"

"But, Empress, she..."

If she wants to talk but stops, can a weak woman who has no strength to restrain a chicken do such things as beating noble concubines, stealing national treasures, and blowing up palace gates?Even a big insider doesn't have the ability and courage, right?
Seeing Ruyi's expression, the queen mother raised her eyebrows disapprovingly, "You mean those rumors in the palace?"

"Yes."

"Before meeting Yun Ruo, the Ai family wouldn't believe a word!"

Hearing this, Ruyi couldn't help but sigh in her heart, the reason why the empress dowager cares about Yunruo so much is not because... It's a pity that good fortune tricks people!

"I'll do it now, servant girl!" Ruyi turned and left the hall, hiding the sadness that flashed in her eyes.

The hall is full of prosperity and jewels are shining, but it can't hide the emptiness of the room.

The Empress Dowager looked at the pot of prunus bamboo in front of her, and her graceful and luxurious face was stained with a touch of loneliness, vaguely, with a trace of distant desolation.

"Would you blame me for not protecting her well..."

The wind blows, and the fragrance of bamboo is cold. Before the sigh melts, it has dissipated in the fragrant mist that fills the hall. I don’t know who it is asking?
At this moment, Yong'an Hou Mansion.
