Empress Dowager Empress Dowager

Chapter 273
After a long time, Baili Jingqi said: "How does the Queen Mother feel now?"

"It's much better, thank you for your concern." Huo Mingzhu was not used to lying down and talking to Baili Jingqi, and always felt uncomfortable, so she struggled to get up, but because she hadn't eaten all day, she was a little powerless.

Baili Jingqi stretched out his hand to help Huo Mingzhu up, and after Huo Mingzhu sat up, Baili Jingqi said: "The queen mother is not happy about Prince Duan's rebellion?"

Baili Jingqi didn't say that Baili Zonglu was about to lose his life, was she unhappy about it?

Huo Mingzhu said: "The emperor is too worried."

She was unhappy in her heart, because she felt that she had no goal in the future, and could not go out, and lived in this Palace of Compassion and Peace all day long, not knowing what to do, it was just so unhappy.

Afterwards, Xiao Anzi came in to report that the meal preparations were delayed, and when the meal was passed on, Baili Jingqi asked the horse to upload it, and Huo Mingzhu looked at Baili Jingqi in surprise.

Baili Jingqi is so free?Just didn't say anything.

The meals are mostly light, but they are all Huo Mingzhu's favorite dishes. Among them, there is the gold and jade full of dishes that Baili Jingqi used at Huo Mingzhu's in the past. Huo Mingzhu suddenly discovered that Baili Jingqi likes to cook This golden jade was placed in front of her, and it was the same when she became a companion in the past.

As long as Baili Jingqi gives food, there will be this dish.

Immediately, a nanny and two maids came in. The nanny served Huo Mingzhu's meal, while Baili Jingqi was served by Cao An. Just now, when Baili Jingqi ordered Cao An to change Nanny Fang, she had already woken up. Come to think of it, this nanny might stay to serve her in the future.

Seeing Huo Mingzhu staring at the nanny, Cao An hurried forward, and said to Huo Mingzhu: "The empress dowager, this is Nanny Feng, who used to serve in the prince's palace. , from now on, she will serve you, Empress Dowager."

"The emperor gave the old man in his own palace to Ai's family. I am afraid that Ai's family cannot bear such a blessing." Huo Mingzhu didn't intend to oppose Baili Jingqi, but just felt that sending such a nanny by her side would Isn't it just to monitor her? How can this make Huo Mingzhu feel at ease.

Baili Jingqi didn't get angry, and after eating the food in the bowl slowly, he said to Huo Mingzhu: "As the queen mother, your blessings are not rich, who is richer? I? I will only be treated as a It is discarded like waste."

The emperor's words were so sour that Huo Mingzhu suddenly became speechless. This was indeed what she had done in the past, but, these words are not what an emperor should say. Suddenly, Huo Mingzhu felt that this Life is not so hopeless, at least she is not the only one who feels uncomfortable.

Seeing that Huo Mingzhu stopped talking, Baili Jingqi did not continue, but concentrated on eating meals. Not only Huo Mingzhu hadn't eaten for a day, but Baili Jingqi was also busy reviewing the memorial and was delayed During the meal, there was another commotion in the harem, and Huo Mingzhu fainted, so it was delayed again and again.

Next, the two of them ate in silence.

This scene is different from any other time in the past. In the past, if the two had a meal together, Baili Jingqi would keep talking. Although Huo Mingzhu always agreed with each other a few times, the way was still pleasant, just like now It was so quiet that there was only the sound of bowls and chopsticks colliding, which was really the first time.

Huo Mingzhu's appetite is not very good, so she didn't want to move after using some, so she stopped her chopsticks and didn't look at Baili Jingqi, but focused on the dishes in front of her.

These dishes are very beautiful, but Huo Mingzhu didn't focus on the dishes, but put her attention on Baili Jingqi who was beside her. Although she didn't look at him, she really focused all her attention on on Baili Jingqi's body, waiting for him to finish his meal.

Baili Jingqi didn't seem to notice that Huo Mingzhu was waiting for him, and it took him half an hour. In the end, Huo Mingzhu didn't have much appetite, but he felt hungry when he saw Baili Jingqi using it so deliciously. .

It's just that the meal is already cold, even if Huo Mingzhu is a little hungry, she doesn't have the appetite to eat this, but at this moment, she heard Baili Jingqi order Cao An: "Go, let the imperial dining room make me some sweet-scented osmanthus crisps and sweets. Here comes the soup."

"Yes." Cao An led the order and went out.

Huo Mingzhu looked at Baili Jingqi in surprise, he could really eat it.

Baili Jingqi just thought that Huo Mingzhu was like air, but when the sweet soup and sweet-scented osmanthus cakes were delivered, he said: "Empress Dowager, such sweet sweet-scented osmanthus cakes, if only I use them, they will lose their taste. Why don't you use some with me?"

Huo Mingzhu was already a little hungry, smelling the scent of the sweet-scented osmanthus cake, she naturally had an appetite, so she twisted a piece in her hand and started eating.

Baili Jingqi saw that Huo Mingzhu had eaten it, so he twisted a piece of it for you and ate it. He just took a bite and then drank it with the sweet soup. In this way, a bowl of sweet soup is eaten in two or three strokes. It hurt Baili Jingqi's stomach.

Huo Mingzhu ate the sweet-scented osmanthus cake and thought it was very good. She even ate a few pieces to fill up the emptiness in her stomach. Finally, she drank a bowl of sweet soup, which was actually more comfortable than eating that meal.

After eating and drinking, Baili Jingqi left, but Huo Mingzhu felt that the doubts in her heart intensified. She couldn't figure out what Baili Jingqi's purpose was this time, as if she was simply eating with her , but Huo Mingzhu felt that she might not be so innocent.

Thinking like this, but she couldn't figure out what he meant, and finally she didn't want to think about it at all. After she was full, she felt sleepy again, and Huo Mingzhu put herself in the bed.

Thinking, it should be that the great revenge has been avenged, and after relaxing her body and mind, she must feel very sleepy. Thinking in a trance in her mind, she has already fallen asleep, even she herself feels strange.

Why can I fall asleep so peacefully, isn't she imprisoned?In the end, I didn't think of an accurate answer. I just thought that I was indifferent by nature, didn't pursue any fame and fortune, could have a leisurely life, and didn't die as miserable as the previous life.

She fell asleep so peacefully, poor Baili Jingqi walked up and down in front of Jingren's palace because of eating too much, kept touching her belly, her eyebrows were deeply furrowed, and she looked very uncomfortable.

Seeing that his master was suffering so much, Cao An complained to Huo Mingzhu very much, and couldn't help but said: "Your majesty, the empress dowager eats very little food, so you don't need to waste your body to accompany her. You are already the emperor, Long Your body is important, Your Majesty."

Baili Jingqi suddenly became angry, stopped, glanced at Cao An and said, "Cao An, as a slave, how many heads do you have to lose if you try to figure out what I want?"

Baili Jingqi's voice was very stiff, it could be seen that he was really angry, and Cao An was so frightened that he hurriedly knelt down, regardless of the cobblestone pavement under his knees, he could only kneel down on one of the pebbles, Come on, this piercing pain is not fake.But even so, Cao An didn't dare to get up, the Holy Majesty was going to lose his head when he got angry.

"Your Majesty, please calm down. Your servant has made a slip of the tongue. Your Majesty, please calm down." Cao An kowtowed a few times, looking terrified.

In the end, Cao An was also for the good of Baili Jingqi, and sympathized with his master's good intentions. Although Baili Jingqi was angry with him for speaking out, he never thought of really punishing him. Yes, continue to rub your stomach and move forward.

Cao An didn't hear Baili Jingqi's voice, so he raised his head and glanced at Baili Jingqi, seeing that he was already far away, he hesitated, whether to chase after him, because the emperor didn't say forgive him for his innocence.

Just as he was thinking, he saw Baili Jingqi stepping on a slippery stone and tilted his body. Although he stabilized his body in the end, Cao An was frightened. He quickly got up and rushed to Baili Jingqi. holding him by his side.

Feng Yi on the side looked very puzzled, he had seen the master's kung fu, why is it just such a small stone, and the master can't avoid it?

Cao An didn't think much about it, and after supporting Baili Jingqi, he said, "Your Majesty, be careful, this servant has the audacity to stand up for himself. Even if the Emperor wants this servant's life, if he sees the Emperor leaving alone, this servant must also get up and accompany him."

Baili Jingqi didn't care to listen to his nonsense, there were too many things in his stomach, and it was still swollen after so long, which made him feel very uncomfortable. However, thinking of Huo Mingzhu using so many sweet-scented osmanthus cakes, he felt a pang in his heart. Much more comfortable.

Thinking of Huo Mingzhu, and inevitably thinking of Huo Mingzhu venturing out of the Palace of Compassion and going to prison today, his complexion sank again, and he said to Feng Yi behind him: "Commander Feng."

"My minister is here." Feng Yi walked to Baili Jingqi's side and folded his hands for orders.

Baili Jingqi said: "Tomorrow, Prince Duan, the traitor, will ask to be executed, are you ready?"

"If you go back to the emperor, everything is ready. If anyone wants to rescue Prince Duan, they will never return." Feng Yi said respectfully.

"Well, all the power in Prince Duan's hands has not yet surfaced. This time, the remnants of Prince Duan will definitely come out to rob the execution ground. We must wipe out Prince Duan's party in one fell swoop." Baili Jingqi said fiercely .

Baili Jingqi would not be so naive as to think that Huo Mingzhu had defeated all of Baili Zonglu's party before, and based on Baili Jingqi's understanding of Baili Zonglu, he must be able to stay in the prison so quietly now. If there is perseverance and no fear, then Baili Jingqi will let Baili Zonglu watch with his own eyes all the power in his hands disintegrate.

"Yes, my minister obeys." Feng Yi said respectfully, and then said to Baili Jingqi: "Your Majesty, forgive me for speaking bluntly, what's wrong with the emperor's dragon body?"

Baili Jingqi frowned, looked at Feng Yi and said, "I'm fine."

"My minister is talking too much." Feng Yi secretly regretted, why did he ask, the current His Majesty is not the former prince.

Hearing Feng Yi's words, Cao An opened his eyes wide and looked at Baili Jingqi, and then at Feng Yi, as if he was asking Feng Yi, what's the matter?Why did he always follow the emperor, but didn't know that the emperor's dragon body was not in good condition?
Baili Jingqi seemed to be trying to appease Feng Yi and Cao An, or had some other intentions, and said: "I just eat too much, and the stasis in the stomach is uncomfortable, it's not a serious problem."

Feng Yi nodded hastily and said, "Yes, this minister is wrong."

Baili Jingqi glanced at Feng Yi and said, "Feng Yi, you are a smart person, and you have never disappointed me in the past, but you have also committed such a foolish thing, guessing what I mean without authorization, so you are not afraid that I will take you head?"

Feng Yi was taken aback by Baili Jingqi, and so was Cao An. Just now he was guessing what His Majesty meant, and Cao An felt a chill run down his spine.

Seeing that the two were frightened, Baili Jingqi continued with a half-smile, "I'm not a fool who doesn't know right from wrong. You've been with me for so long, so you should know this. In the future, you can say what you have to say, What shouldn't be said, it's better to swallow it, even if you don't let me hear it, let the queen mother hear it, I will punish you too."

Only then did Feng Yi and Cao An know that the emperor had warned them not to speak casually. If the queen mother listened to these words and had any thoughts, they would be punished.

Thinking of this, both of them understand that the empress dowager is probably more able to control their life and death than the emperor, and now it's fine if the empress dowager doesn't know, if she knows in the future, then...

Feng Yi and Cao An looked at each other, and they both saw the same worry in each other's eyes. Your Majesty is so dependent on the Queen Mother and considers her in everything. What will happen in the long run?
