Chapter 71 The Queen Mother
After dismissing everyone, the queen mother explained a few words to Lin Yanran, and then asked the nanny to drag her unconscious clothes back to the Longevity Hall.

Seeing that the Queen Mother was far away, Bai Feiwu leaned against Lin Yanran and said, "I don't know if the princess is going back to the residence now, but it's convenient for Feiwu to go with her." Seeing that Bai Feiwu was flattering her, Lin Yanran didn't speak, she was arrogant nodded.Then the two turned to the queen to leave.

Empress Cao worriedly glanced at the direction Nishang was leaving, shook her head and walked towards her Qiankun Palace.Taking her back to her residence, Empress Cao was a little restless. She remembered the conversation she heard when she wanted to go to the imperial study to deliver soup to the emperor that day.

It was already late that day, but the seventh prince asked the emperor to marry him and a commoner in the imperial study, and the emperor was furious after hearing this.Since the concubine is a saint, she can't be offended, but this unworthy son insists on marrying a commoner.

After a while, the emperor avoided all his followers, and the seventh prince told the truth. It was the saint's suggestion to marry a commoner, and she had her own plan.Although the emperor thought it was nonsense, he didn't refuse. It's just that the princess made a lot of trouble at that time, and the seven princes had no choice but to marry together.

Empress Cao helped this side concubine today because she knew the inside story, and hoped that the saint would help her if she needed a favor in the future.Now in this harem, although her natal family is becoming more and more powerful, the emperor no longer loves her. She knows what the emperor means, but what she is looking for is not glory and wealth, but the man who only had her eyes on her at that time.

After thinking about it, empress Cao showed bitterness again.Putting away the memories, "Should I help her? What should I do?" Empress Cao murmured.

At this time, the servant girl beside the queen also heard it, and looked at her master's tangled appearance and said: "Although the servant girl does not know why the master wants to help this side concubine, if the master wants to help, the servant girl will quietly go to inform the seventh prince. I heard that the prince is very nervous about this side concubine, thinking about it, I will also be grateful for the kindness of the master."

After hearing what her maid said, Empress Cao nodded and said: "Go and remind the Seventh Prince, that Concubine Chang was invited by the Empress Dowager to learn the rules. Don't worry, my lord."

"Yes." The servant girl stepped back and rushed forward in response.

The discussions in the previous court were not as unsatisfactory as in the harem. The examiners for talent selection in the early stage of this conference were all confirmed, and the others were the same as usual, except that the examiner for this year's martial arts examination was not Prince Pingjin, but the emperor. Feng Qingran was used after the Seventh Prince's suggestion. Although everyone was surprised, no one objected.This Feng Qingran was once a well-known general, and it is not unusual to be an examiner of martial arts examinations.

After all the arrangements were made, the emperor suddenly looked at King Pingjin and said, "The Palace of Prince Pingjin is an important minister who has been loyal to Dongli Kingdom these years. I want to entrust the safety of the palace during the conference to King Pingjin."

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in the court.

Since ancient times, the safety of the imperial palace has been controlled by the imperial guards, and the imperial guards directly obey the orders of the emperor alone.This time the emperor directly handed over the power of the imperial guards, which shows the emperor's trust in King Pingjin.The person who was laughing secretly at King Ping Jin just now was even more shocked and speechless at this moment.

Ling Hai, who was standing on the left side, was even more secretly happy, God is helping him, it seems that this time he will surely get his wish.Ling Yanshu, who was not far away, also looked relaxed and happy.

After the affairs of the court were arranged, the emperor announced his withdrawal from the court.After Emperor Dongli left, everyone overwhelmingly congratulated King Pingjin.King Pingjin greeted each other one by one, and finally walked towards Ling Younan respectfully: "Seventh Prince, my sister has been taken care of by you since she was a child, and now she is your side concubine, but my sister has no father or mother since she was a child. You are sensible, and I hope the prince will be more merciful."

Seeing King Pingjin's appearance, Ling Younan didn't know what it meant, but said: "Yanran has known me since childhood, I will never treat her badly."

King Ping Jin nodded and felt relieved when he heard Ling Younan's words.Although he did not agree with his younger sister marrying into the Seventh Prince's Mansion, but his younger sister insisted on going her own way.It's a pity that I have already chosen a camp, and it is too late now.Thinking like this, he didn't say much, bowed and withdrew.

Ling Younan was aware of King Pingjin's uncharacteristic behavior. Although he didn't know which side King Pingjin chose to stand on, it was obviously not his side. Obviously, Lin Yanran didn't know.It seems that no one is optimistic about him, just like the important officials in that court only had casual acquaintances with him.

After Nishang was brought to the Hall of Longevity, she was punished to kneel in the Hall of Longevity.Nishang didn't resist, she knew that the Queen Mother was in a rage at this time, so it's not easy to make fun of herself.She just lowered her head, sighed for her numb legs, and thought of ways to get out.When the queen mother came back, she went back to the bedroom to rest.

After a while, the maids in the sleeping hall got busy in a hurry, one of the nuns beside the queen mother had already rushed out, and the other nun was walking back and forth in the hall, drenched in sweat.Nishang couldn't help asking: "What happened?"

The nanny was probably too anxious, she didn't think about it for a moment, she subconsciously said: "The queen mother suddenly gasped, but today the imperial doctors in the hall have all gone to the imperial hospital, and the imperial hospital is still some distance from the Longevity Hall, what should I do... ..." Suddenly, as if realizing something, he quickly stopped talking.

When Nishang heard what she said, she immediately stood up, ignoring the nanny's scolding, and went directly into the dormitory and ordered, "Open all the doors and windows immediately."

The maids and mothers looked at each other, but no one moved.

Nishang was furious, and roared: "Why are you standing still? Do as I say." Everyone was frightened by this sound, and they all moved one after another.

Nishang looked around at the surrounding decorations, and then ordered: "Take out all the flowers in these decorations, as well as the incense burner." Saying this, Nishang approached the bed, and removed the Queen Mother's high pillow, Mention her Shun Shun Qi.

When Mammy approached the bed and found that the Queen Mother was much better, she hissed.The queen mother, who was much more comfortable, saw the sweat-stained Nishang kneeling in front of the bed and said to the nurse next to her, "Take the concubine Chang to change clothes and rest."

Nishang looked back and saw that the imperial doctor was also rushing over, so she retreated with the nanny, just turned around, suddenly remembered again, and turned back and said: "Change the velvet blanket covered by the empress dowager, it is best to replace it with a silk blanket." Quality quilt." After finishing speaking, he turned and left.

The imperial doctor who came to take the pulse looked at the woman who was about to leave, and quickly stopped him: "Does the side concubine know how to cure the empress dowager's disease?" I don't know the intention.

Hearing the imperial doctor's question, Nishang didn't know how to answer for a while, but said ambiguously: "I don't know about it, it's just that there were people in the family before, but they all encountered pollen, hair, pungent smell and other similar substances. It will only happen, so I just dared to do this, and it is a fluke to be effective."

The imperial doctor listened and nodded thoughtfully.Seeing that Nishang saved the empress dowager, Mammy also treated Nishang better.After leaving with the neon clothes, he carefully prepared hot water for her to take a bath and a change of clothes. The neon clothes were indeed frozen, so she rested on the bed after soaking in the hot bath.

When the emperor heard the news and came, the queen mother's illness had been restrained, so he just sat for a while and left.

Not long after the emperor left, Ling Younan came over. He sat in front of the queen mother's bed and chatted with her for a while, but his eyes were wandering around, as if he was looking for something, but after looking around a few times, he couldn't find the person he was worried about. My son, my heart is getting heavier and heavier, and there is some anxiety on my face.

Seeing Ling Younan's absent-minded look, the queen mother smiled and said, "Are you looking for your side concubine?"

Seeing that she couldn't hide it from the Queen Mother, Ling Younan nodded generously.

The queen mother deliberately put on a straight face, and said with an angry look: "Why is a commoner who doesn't know etiquette so nervous? Are you afraid of what the imperial grandmother will do to her?"

Seeing that the Queen Mother was angry, Ling Younan quickly pulled the Queen Mother's sleeve and said coquettishly: "It's not that my grandson doesn't believe in the emperor's grandmother, but this concubine has a special status and is not a commoner as rumored by the outside world. In fact, this concubine is my grandson's princess in disguise. She is a saint."

Seeing that Ling Younan even made up such a lie to save his concubine, the queen mother couldn't help being very angry. She threw the medicine bowl in her hand and said angrily, "How dare you bully the emperor?"

Ling Younan quickly knelt down, and the mothers also hurried up to please the Queen Mother, signaling Ling Younan not to talk too much.

Ling Younan knelt for a while, the queen mother was also distressed, her grandson was already disabled, what should be done if it got worse.Thinking about it, he said: "Get up, Nan'er. Your side concubine will stay with the imperial grandmother first, and the grandmother will teach her the rules for you before sending her back to you. Don't worry, the grandmother will not hurt her."

Ling Younan saw that things were not turning for the better, so he didn't say any more, and left after saying goodbye.

After Lin Yanran returned to the mansion, she waited and waited until Ling Younan could not be reached, so she was a little anxious and sent someone to the palace to inquire.Those who came back said that they did not meet the prince, but the empress dowager in the Longevity Hall was ill.Lin Yanran couldn't help being happy when she heard the news, it seems that this time this untouchable is going to be in trouble.

Ling Younan didn't return to the palace until it was getting dark, and he went directly to Xuanran Pavilion after returning.Lin Yanran in Xuanran Pavilion was finishing her meal, when she saw Ling Younan coming, she quickly got up, Ling Younan said: "There's no need to salute, let's sit down and eat."

Lin Yanran was very happy to see Lin Younan sitting next to her, and the two of them didn't talk much and just had their dinner quietly.After the meal, Ling Younan did not leave, but just sat and chatted with Lin Yanran.Ling Younan first told the news about the important mission of the Taoist Emperor in Pingjin Palace today, and Lin Yanran was overjoyed when she heard it.Then Ling Younan asked unintentionally: "Why did you come back so early today?"

Lin Yanran was calmly enjoying herself at this time and didn't think much about it, she just replied truthfully: "Our group waited for Concubine Chang in the palace for a long time but we didn't see anyone. Later, the queen mother found her sleeping by the river, and the queen mother was furious Let everyone come back."
