My wife is sick

Chapter 406 Disappointment
Even if Empress Fang is the lord of the central palace, even if she has ruled the palace for decades, she can only have that kind of authority in the imperial city. If she leaves the imperial city, even if she is a queen, she will have at most people in her hands. They are just maids of honor in Kunning Palace.

But now those people surrounding the Princess Mansion are not something Queen Fang can control.

Someone who is not Queen Fang...

Isn't it obvious whose person that would be?

Her imperial brother finally doesn't want to indulge her anymore?
Realizing this, although it was midsummer, Princess Changning felt chills in her heart.

As for Li Hui, no matter how excited she was about being a princess, she could see something was wrong at this moment. This is the princess mansion, who dared to be so bold as to surround the princess mansion?
Li Hui looked at Princess Changning, and only hoped that Princess Changning could reprimand the people outside and make them go away.

However, to Li Hui's disappointment, Princess Changning, with a dejected face, just stood there for a while, and then led her back to the inner house.

"Mother, what's going on?" Li Hui's voice couldn't hide her confusion.

At this moment, how could she have any excitement and excitement?
She also faintly felt that it might not be a good thing for her to return to Beijing this time.

Princess Changning looked at Li Hui, and after a while, she smiled wryly and shook her head: "Hui'er, do you think it's a good thing that you have been named a princess at this moment? Don't even think about it. I'm afraid that mother and daughter hate you to the bone, she will take you out of Baiyun nunnery so kindly, knowing that you will be named a princess, how can she still smile at you so calmly?"

Li Hui also began to feel chills.

Li Hui was not completely unaware of the abnormalities that Princess Changning said, but after she knew that she was about to be named a princess, she only cared about being happy. With such happiness, how could she think about these abnormalities? where?

She was just lucky, thinking that Queen Xu Fang knew that these were what Emperor Jing Wen wanted, so no matter how unhappy she was, she could only suppress it.

but……

How can there be so many flukes?

After a while, Li Hui asked that question again: "Mom, what's going on?"

Princess Changning recounted recent events.

After Li Hui heard it, her expression was disbelief. She pointed to her nose and said sharply: "Mother, what you mean is that the emperor's uncle named me a princess not to compensate me, but to let me go to Xiyi Marriage?"

Princess Changning didn't speak.

But at this time, her silence was already an answer.

Li Hui stood up abruptly, "Marriage? Go to Xiyi? I won't go, I won't go anywhere! I won't be this princess either, let whoever loves to do it!"

Princess Changning heard this, but she didn't comfort Li Hui as usual.

Don't be a princess, and don't make love?
These are not things that their mother and daughter can control.

Princess Changning can only pin her hopes on the Empress Dowager Zhuang now, hoping that the Empress Dowager Zhuang can get the news before Emperor Jingwen makes the decree, and then prevent Emperor Jingwen from making the decree.

otherwise……

*
And just as Princess Changning hoped, Empress Dowager Zhuang did get the news before Emperor Jingwen issued the imperial edict.

Empress Dowager Zhuang did not know that Li Hui had returned to Beijing yesterday until Princess Changning brought Li Hui out of the palace, and she had rested in Kunning Palace. She also knew that Princess Changning had entered the palace early in the morning. He took Li Hui out of the palace soon, without even visiting the Palace of Compassion and Peace.

Having lived in the harem for several decades, Empress Dowager Zhuang naturally has a very keen sense of these unusual things, especially when Princess Changning entered the palace but did not come to the Palace of Compassion, which made Empress Dowager Zhuang even more suspicious.

This suspicion will naturally make people ask.

Although Empress Dowager Zhuang has been indifferent for many years, she still has useful people under her command. No matter how concealed Empress Fang was about Li Hui, Empress Dowager Zhuang still found clues.

Empress Dowager Zhuang was not as naive as Li Hui. After knowing this, she immediately considered the worst direction. In this way, it didn't take long for her to guess Queen Fang's plan.

As a result, Empress Dowager Zhuang naturally couldn't sit still, and immediately led people to Emperor Jingwen.

Emperor Jingwen was preparing to issue an order at this time.

Li Hui has already returned, and the peace negotiation between the two countries cannot be dragged on like this forever. Once the marriage is finalized, there will naturally be no obstacles to the next peace negotiation.

Knowing that Empress Dowager Zhuang was coming, Emperor Jing Wen frowned slightly, but soon relaxed.

He nodded towards the eunuch who delivered the decree, the eunuch put away the imperial decree, stepped back a few steps, and then turned around to prepare to retreat.

"Wait!" Empress Dowager Zhuang shouted.

Although Empress Dowager Zhuang is the biological mother of Emperor Jingwen, and Emperor Jingwen has always respected Empress Dowager Zhuang very much, but Empress Dowager Zhuang usually knows how to measure herself. Whenever she comes to see Emperor Jingwen, she will let the palace people inform her, and wait until Emperor Jingwen agrees. Even if Emperor Jingwen said many times that there was no need to do so, she still insisted on going inside.

But this time...

Out of concern for Li Hui in her heart, Empress Dowager Zhuang came in before waiting for Emperor Jing Wen's response.

Moreover, the eunuch who delivered the decree was summoned.

These are things that the Empress Dowager Zhuang would never do.

After being sternly yelled at by Empress Dowager Zhuang, the eunuch who passed the decree stopped in place, not knowing what to do for a while, so he could only look back at Emperor Jingwen, until he saw Emperor Jingwen nodded slightly, and then retreated. while waiting.

Seeing this, the Empress Dowager Zhuang breathed a sigh of relief.

She took a few steps inside, "What is the order of your majesty?"

Emperor Jingwen was silent.

Although in Emperor Jingwen's heart, he had already decided to let Li Hui go to marry and would not change his mind, but in front of Empress Dowager Zhuang, Emperor Jingwen couldn't speak.

After all, Emperor Jingwen knew very well how much Empress Dowager Zhuang loved Princess Changning and Li Hui.

The last time Emperor Jingwen decreed to take away Li Hui's title of county magistrate and send her to Baiyun Nunnery, Empress Dowager Zhuang might have developed a suspicion in her heart. This time he wanted Li Hui to marry, and Zhuang How will the Queen Mother react when she finds out?

Although Emperor Jingwen didn't speak, Empress Dowager Zhuang's heart kept sinking.

The silence at this time is already very good at explaining the problem.

Even though the Empress Dowager Zhuang had already guessed the worst possible situation, she still had luck in her heart all the way here, and hoped that these were just her overthinking. In fact, Emperor Jingwen would not do it. make such a decision.

But now it seems that she was disappointed.
