Queen Juan is here, run away

But knowing that spring was like a formidable enemy, he regarded it as a big deal. He rummaged through the boxes and cabinets and started looking for ointment. When he couldn't find it, he hurried out again.

Lihua hurriedly stopped her and reassured her that she was fine. The red sha disease would subside naturally and there was no need to alarm others.

Only then did Zhichun stop in surprise, not letting the entire Tingliyuan know about her master's injury.

Lihua was ashamed. How could Zhichun, an ignorant little girl who could only read gossip, understand this? Even she only understood it yesterday.

That's how the turbulent episode passed.

Lihua felt that there was no need to exercise this morning. Firstly, she got up late, and secondly, she had enough exercise with the monster last night and needed to relax a bit.

After all, there might be a battle tonight, and she had to recharge her batteries and be fully prepared.

During breakfast time, Lihua asked, "Is there anyone coming to Zhuangning Palace?"

Zhidong said: "When it was dawn, the Empress Dowager sent someone to convey the message, saying that there is still no need to pay greetings today."

"It's dawn?" Lihua caught this key word and felt something was wrong.

It was the wrong time. In the past, Zhuang Ning Palace would not usually come so early to deliver the decree, unless it was a sudden decree from the Queen Mother.

In these days, the palace was being searched extensively, so Zhuang Ning Palace was exempted from greetings.

When Lihua came out of seclusion, she originally wanted to go to Zhuangning Palace to pay her respects. Firstly, she wanted to thank her, and secondly, she wanted to let the Queen Mother know that she had recovered so that she could feel at ease.

Unexpectedly, Zhuang Ning Palace came first, so that Haosheng could rest without going there, so Lihua had no choice but to hold back.

But it is still like this today, and it is a bit strange to inform him so early.

Zhidong answered affirmatively: "Yes, people from Zhuang Ning Palace came as soon as Long Live Master left. They passed on the decree and left in a hurry, saying that they would also pass it on to the next palace."

Lihua asked: "Didn't you say anything alone?"

Zhidong shook his head: "No." At that time, Zhidong was freshening up and going to prepare breakfast. He saw someone entering the yard, so he went to greet him, but the person came and left in a hurry, and she didn't even plan to leave after seeing her master.

Lihua was even more puzzled. It felt as if the Queen Mother didn't want to see her.

But that shouldn't be the case. The Queen Mother personally took care of her when she was in coma and taught that no one in the harem dared to spy on Tingliyuan.

Lihua was confident that the Queen Mother cared about her and would not turn a blind eye to her recovery, and it was strange that the Queen Mother did not come even once after she woke up from a serious illness.

You must know that the Queen Mother mistakenly thought that the emperor was bullying her, so she hurriedly found a place for her without even changing her clothes.

This is a guess made after the Lihua incident based on Zhichun's words and what happened before and after, as to the purpose of the Queen Mother's sudden visit to Tingliyuan.

But what happened this time? She hadn't seen the Queen Mother since she woke up, and Lihua missed this old lady.

She felt uneasy for no reason, but then she thought about it, if she didn't need to say goodbye, she would be facing all the concubines in the harem.

Perhaps after experiencing the turmoil of the massive palace search, the Queen Mother wanted to give everyone a buffer time.

Moreover, Nanny Qin had come to visit her according to the order. There was no news about Zhuang Ning Palace. Lihua felt a little relieved when she thought of this.

As for the messenger coming so early, she thought maybe the old lady was angry and gave the order on a whim.

Although she didn't have to go to say hello, Lihua was worried and still wanted to visit Zhuang Ning Palace, so she went there knowing the way.

But unexpectedly, Lihua was stopped when she reached the gate of Zhuangning Palace.

Lihua looked at the familiar palace people and asked to be conveyed that she wanted to see the Queen Mother. After a long time, a reply came from inside: The Queen Mother has been behind closed doors for the past few days, chanting sutras and praying, and has not seen anyone. Please come back.

Lihua's brows suddenly tightened, and she retreated and asked to see Nanny Qin. Cui Die needed to ask Nanny Qin to leave the palace, but she still didn't see anyone.

She felt like something was happening, but she didn't know what it was. This feeling was very bad and made her very uneasy. (End of chapter)
