Chapter 257 The Queen Mother's Methods
The Queen Mother had an idea because if the original owner died, the harem would be left without a master and would be in chaos.
When the queen dies, it is a national mourning, and the empress dowager needs to come back from Yushan to take charge of the situation.
And Chen Xier is the Queen Mother's person, so when the time comes, she will say a few words to Xie Yu.
The Queen Mother had a legitimate reason to return to the palace and restore the mother-son relationship between her and Xie Yu. In this way, everything was reasonable.
Lin Junxue said again, "Now that Chen Xier is dead, the people that the Queen Mother had placed beside the Emperor are gone, and I have been controlled by the Queen Mother for the past few years. In just one year, the situation in the harem has changed drastically. The Queen Mother is naturally anxious to return to the palace, suppress me, take back the power of the harem, and let me continue to be the queen in name only."
Qiao Xin and the other two looked at each other, and a chill suddenly rose in their hearts.
It's terrible that the Queen Mother was able to set up such a scheme even though she was not in the harem.
Your Majesty will have to face such a Queen Mother in the future. If you are not careful, you will be doomed.
Seeing the worried expressions of the three people, Lin Junxue smiled instead.
Naturally, she did not dare to be careless in the slightest towards the Queen Mother, her enemy, but she was not afraid of her either.
No matter how cruel and evil the enemy is, since both sides are fighting to the death, what is the point of being afraid?
The more afraid you are, the more arrogant the enemy will be.
Once you lose your composure, you will no longer have the courage to fight the enemy.
Lin Junxue stood up, looking at the bleak autumn leaves outside the window, and a smile slowly appeared on the corner of her lips.
The Queen Mother thought that this game was perfect and she could return to the palace like this.
What a pity...it also depends on whether Lin Junxue is willing!
Lin Junxue turned and looked at Guyu
"Go, ask the kitchen to make a bowl of lotus seed soup and send it to Taiwu Palace, saying that I have prepared new food and am waiting for the emperor to come and taste it together."
Guyu nodded and said, "My lady, I will go right away."
Taiwu Hall
Xie Yu put down the letter in his hand and looked at the guard kneeling on the ground. He did not speak, his eyes deep.
When my father passed away, he left twelve personal guards with superb martial arts skills for my mother.
In the past few years, he has been closely guarding his mother's safety.
When he ascended the throne, the situation was full of crises, and his mother did not give him these personal guards.
And these twelve personal guards have always obeyed the Queen Mother.
If he, the emperor, and his queen mother were in danger at the same time, these deadpools would only protect his mother first.
for a while
Xie Yu said in a deep voice, "Go back and tell mother that I need to think about returning to the palace. Back then, when mother left the palace, she told me that she would return in five years. Mother, have you forgotten?"
The guard kneeling on the ground raised his head expressionlessly.
The Empress Dowager had long expected the Emperor to say this, and the guard repeated the words the Empress Dowager had taught him.
"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager said that she has been praying for you and the late emperor day and night for the past three years. In the past two days, the Empress Dowager woke up from nightmares and heard that the concubines in the harem had accidents one after another. Therefore, she couldn't sleep or eat well and was very worried about you. The Empress Dowager knew that she had said that she would return to the palace in five years. Now, she came back early, but the Emperor did not allow it. This time, the Empress Dowager came to give this thing to the Emperor."
Gao Cheng stepped forward and took the amulet from the guard.
As soon as Xie Yu saw the stitching on the amulet, he knew it was sewn by the Empress Dowager herself.
Xie Yu couldn't help but think of when he was a child, his mother had personally sewed a sachet for him on his birthday, which also looked like this.
Recalling this, Xie Yu's heart moved slightly, and he felt a little relaxed.
The guard said again, "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother said that she has not been by your side for so many years, and she misses you very much. She can only worship Buddha in Yushan and ask the gods and Buddha to keep you safe. This amulet was made by the Queen Mother after praying for you for seven days and seven nights, and it was also added by the master. The Queen Mother only asks that Your Majesty keep it with you to protect your safety. Even if Your Majesty does not allow the Queen Mother to return to the palace, it is fine."
Xie Yu picked up the amulet, his eyes deep
The Queen Mother prayed for him for seven days and seven nights. She cared so much about him.
Forget it, it’s been three years. The Queen Mother left the palace in anger because of the eldest princess. Now she has sent guards over, and her words are all about trying to please him.
If the queen mother is not allowed to return to the palace, the relationship between them and her son will probably become completely estranged.
After these three years, my mother should have understood something.
He is already the emperor, and no one is allowed to violate his authority, not even her.
Just as Xie Yu was about to ask the empress dowager to return to the palace in two days, he saw the young talent walk in.
"Your Majesty, the Queen's Guyu has arrived. She said that the Queen specially made lotus seed soup."
Xie Yu said in a deep voice, "Let her in."
After the young talent left, Xie Yu did not speak again, and the guards could only step aside.
The next second, Guyu walked in, glanced calmly at the guard standing next to him, and then quickly looked away.
She held the lotus seed soup in her hand, knelt on the ground, and offered it with both hands.
"Your Majesty, the Queen said that it's cold today, and I heard that you don't eat much for breakfast, so I asked the small kitchen in the palace to make the lotus seed soup that you praised last time, and asked me to bring it over. Please have some, Your Majesty."
When Xie Yu heard this, he instantly felt much more at ease.
Among all the concubines in the harem, Jun'er is the only one who still cares about whether he eats enough.
Gao Cheng took the lotus seed soup and first tested it for poison with a silver needle. After confirming that there was no problem, he put it on the table.
After Xie Yu took a bite, his stomach instantly felt better and his complexion also improved a lot.
Xie Yu praised, "The Queen is thoughtful. The lotus seed soup is good. I am very satisfied."
Guyu continued, "Your Majesty, our queen has asked the kitchen to prepare some fresh food. Please go to Zhonghe Palace in the evening to taste it together."
Without even a second thought, Xie Yu agreed to have dinner with Lin Junxue in the evening.
After Guyu left, Xie Yu paused as he looked at the guards waiting on the side.
The Queen Mother said she was concerned about whether he ate well and slept well?
But in these three years, he had not been to Yushan, and his mother had never sent anyone to ask about his dragon health.
Jun'er was the one who really cared about him. Knowing that he had eaten little in the morning, she immediately asked someone to bring him lotus seed soup.
Jun'er, this is real concern
But what about the Queen Mother? Thinking of this, Xie Yu's heart became colder.
Xie Yu said, "Since my mother wants to return to the palace, the harem must also prepare to welcome her back. You go back to Yushan first and tell her that the harem is ready. I will send someone to Yushan to invite her back to the palace."
The guard was stunned, and seeing Xie Yu waving his hands impatiently, he had no choice but to retreat.
Just now, the Emperor was clearly planning to give in and let the Queen Mother return to the palace.
Why did the emperor's attitude change immediately after drinking a bowl of porridge?
What exactly is going on?
The guards did not dare to delay and rode back to Yushan at full speed to report the matter to the Empress Dowager.
Taiwu Hall
Xie Yu took a look at the amulet, and finally let Gao Cheng tie it around his waist. Then, he continued to review the memorials.
Gao Cheng stood aside and sighed silently.
Your Majesty, you still care about the Queen Mother.
If the eldest princess had not made such a big fuss three years ago and the empress dowager had not given in to the emperor, she would not have had to go to Yushan to worship Buddha for three years.
Now, the Queen Mother wants to come back, but in these three years, the Emperor is no longer the same Emperor as before.
