The Legend of Noble Woman

Chapter 104 The Queen Mother 2
"Please ask this aunt. Those who don't know are not guilty. Please pass it on to me."

Liu Zixi stretched out his hand to support the servant girl. This servant girl was from the Empress Dowager's palace. Naturally, she would not easily offend her.

"The servant girl Xueling will pass it on to Concubine Chen, please wait a moment, Concubine Chen."

Xue Ling blessed her, and then went into the palace to report.

Without waiting too long, Xue Ling came out and said to Liu Zixi, "Chen Concubine, the Empress Dowager is here to invite you."

"Aunt Xueling please lead the way."

Liu Zixi nodded to her, then followed her into the Yongshou Palace.

When she came to the main hall of Yongshou Palace, the Empress Dowager was leaning on the soft couch, her complexion was a little sickly yellow, it could be seen that she was suffering from chronic illness.

Liu Zixi had also heard about the Queen Mother's deeds.

Empress Dowager Mo, the daughter of Duke Chang, was monogamous with the former emperor, and was the head of the imperial harem.She gave birth to a son, Feng Yichen, who was established as the crown prince at the age of two, and later gave birth to another son. When the prince was five years old, the youngest son died of illness.After the death of the first emperor, the eldest son became emperor at the age of 16.

Afterwards, she stayed in Yongshou Palace to recuperate.

Liu Zixi walked into the hall, and respectfully saluted the empress dowager, "Zixi pays respects to the empress dowager, and wishes her phoenix health. Hearing that the empress dowager is ill, Zixi made a statement to the emperor, and personally served the empress dowager at Yongshou Palace." , to show filial piety."

"Are you Concubine Chen?"

Empress Dowager Mo was wearing a long gown with honey-combined dark flowers, and a large green leaf skirt swayed behind her. The neat black hair was simply tied up in a bun, and a few magnolia dotted emerald flowers were randomly adorned in the hair, making the neat green hair more soft, bright and moist.

I saw that although her complexion was slightly yellow, it could not hide her outstanding facial features. At this time, her face was aging, and she was more kind and majestic.

Liu Zixi nodded, "Go back to the Queen Mother, yes."

"So, you are the granddaughter of General Qin and the niece of Concubine Qin?"

"Yes."

Empress Dowager Mo did not reply for a long time, but her eyes fell on Liu Zixi for a long time, as if she was recalling something, her thoughts drifted away.

Liu Zixi just kept on paying respects and didn't make a sound, his demeanor didn't waver in the slightest.

At this time, a female official in her 40s came out from the side hall. When she saw Liu Zixi, she said, "Empress Dowager, Concubine Chen is still holding on to you."

"Concubine Chen, please excuse me."

The queen mother sighed softly, and looked at the female official, "Baozhu, where have you been? Aijia's spirit is getting worse and worse. If you don't wait by her side, Aijia will really become an old fool."

"Queen Mother, this servant is going to bring you medicine. The temperature of the soup is just right. You should drink it."

Aunt Baozhu stood aside, facing the empress dowager's scolding, she presented the bowl of black medicine calmly.

"This medicine is very bitter. Drinking this kind of medicine every day, Aijia didn't feel any effect, so put it aside."

The queen mother shook her head, not really wanting to drink this soup.

In fact, she has been taking medicine and soup every day for the past few years, but she still doesn't see any improvement in her health.The scope of her daily activities is to stay in this Yongshou Palace, as for other places, she can't go at all.

She has been lingering on the sick bed for ten years...

Aunt Baozhu has become accustomed to the empress dowager not wanting to drink soup like this, "Empress dowager, if you don't like the bitter taste, how about this servant to prepare some candied fruit for you?"

"Too sweet."

The queen mother frowned, she never liked sweets, so when faced with Bao Zhu's proposal, she directly rejected it.
