Chapter 365: The Queen Mother's Thoughts
The Queen Mother said, "Queen, tomorrow, I will lead all the concubines to follow the Buddhist to worship the Buddha. Are you feeling better? If you are, follow me to the temple to worship the Buddha. You are the Queen, so you should set an example for the harem in worshiping the Buddha."
The concubines lowered their heads silently.
Lin Junxue is calm and composed
As soon as Xie Yu left, the Queen Mother couldn't wait to show her power in front of everyone.
Lin Junxue smiled slightly, very respectful
"What the Queen Mother said is true. Two days ago, I told the Emperor that I wanted to worship Buddha with you, but the Emperor insisted that I rest for a few more days and recuperate. It was my fault. Tomorrow, I will worship Buddha with you and pray for the Emperor."
Lin Junxue directly brought up Xie Yu, and the Queen Mother's face darkened again, smiling with a fake smile.
"The Emperor loves you. Okay, I'm going back to the palace now. You guys can go yourselves."
Lin Junxue and the other concubines sent the Queen Mother away
Chen Mi raised his eyes and met Lin Junxue's eyes.
Once some people become enemies, there is no going back.
Zhonghe Palace
At lunch, Lin Junxue ate half a bowl of rice, which showed how happy she was after Xie Yu left.
At the very least, she doesn't have to act in front of a disgusting man every day and have to sleep with him.
Speaking of the days that followed, one can imagine how comfortable Lin Junxue felt.
Danzhen served the dishes, "Your Majesty, you have eaten too much today. Wait a minute, I will help you digest the food. The Ministry of Internal Affairs has just sent you a few pots of peonies. They are so beautiful. Your Majesty will definitely like them."
Lin Junxue put down her chopsticks and said, "Well, my sister-in-law's letter should be delivered in the next few days."
Guyu said, "My lady, the letter arrived last night. It has a yellow mark on it. It is not important. I will bring it to you right away."
Lin Junxue nodded slightly
“Bring it here.”
She and Ye Yushuang had already agreed that if there was anything important in the letter, it would be marked in red.
If it is not an important matter, it will be marked in yellow to distinguish it from others.
Lin Junxue sat on the couch, opened the envelope, and after reading it, asked Guyu to burn it.
Dan Zhen said, "My queen, how is the young lady? I've calculated that the baby in her belly has been more than six months old."
Lin Junxue said softly, "Well, my sister-in-law said in the letter that she is fine and that she is at the border. My brother comes back from the barracks when he has time to accompany her. She also had morning sickness in the past two months, but the baby in her belly is also sensible and will be fine after vomiting for a few days. My father is also fine. After my sister-in-law went there, she took care of my father and brother's daily meals. She is doing very well."
"That's great. For so many years, the young lady has been supporting the entire general's residence in Kyoto alone. If it weren't for the young lady's strong resilience, I'm afraid she would have collapsed long ago."
Lin Junxue nodded
"Although my sister-in-law is a woman, she is stronger, more courageous and resourceful than men. If she were a man, she would definitely be able to achieve great things and would not necessarily be worse than my brother."
Dan Zhen said, "Madam, this has been said by the old general and the junior general before. If the young lady were a man, she would definitely be a stunning and talented person. Even the junior general might not be able to compare to her."
Qiao Xin walked in and said, "Your Majesty, there's a message from Ci'an Palace. The Queen Mother is telling Wang Chu..."
He paused, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.
Lin Junxue raised her eyes
"what happened?"
Qiao Xin then said, "The Queen Mother wanted Wang Chu to serve her. Yesterday, Wang Chu barely escaped. But now that the Emperor has left the palace, the Queen Mother has no scruples. I'm afraid she will force Wang Chu to do that again."
Danzhen was stunned, speechless
"No, Aunt Qiao Xin, you mean the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother..."
After all, she is a girl, Danzhen blushed and felt that this matter was too ridiculous.
Lin Junxue's expression was calm. This was not surprising.
The Queen Mother has been favored for so many years. Not only is her beauty the most beautiful in the harem, but she also has her own ways and schemes in bed.
The scale must have been very high, which would have made the late emperor willingly pamper the empress dowager for so many years.
The Queen Mother has ruined her body and is now over fifty years old.
The late emperor has been dead for so many years, she must have her own physical needs.
How can a person who is used to indulgence always live a pure and simple life?
Furthermore, a person who looked like his sweetheart for many years suddenly appeared beside him.
Even if he was just a eunuch, it wouldn't be surprising for the Queen Mother to have such thoughts.
Even though Wang Chu was a eunuch, sometimes there were other means to satisfy the Queen Mother's dissatisfaction.
This matter depends on whether Wang Chu is willing or not.
After all, she had already told Wang Chu this when she sent him into the palace.
Once you enter the palace and want revenge, there is no turning back.
If Wang Chu can be willing to take it easy, the Queen Mother's trust in him will be even greater in the future, and he will be able to replace Nanny Wu in the near future.
If one wants revenge, he has to go it alone and be able to pay the price.
Lin Junxue asked, "What did Wang Chu say?"
Qiao Xin said, "Wang Chu asked me to tell you that since he has entered the palace, he is ready to risk everything. Please rest assured, he knows what to do."
Lin Junxue's eyes deepened. It seemed that Wang Chu had already made his choice.
As expected, she made the right choice in choosing Wang Chu, a man who can bend and stretch.
"Okay, got it. I'll go to Xuan Wuji later. Come here and see me."
Ci'an Palace
The bed was a mess, with clothes scattered all over the bed, which showed how fierce the battle had just been.
The Queen Mother was lying on the bed, her eyes full of spring, obviously she was well nourished, her eyes closed.
Wang Chu stood up
"Your Majesty, I will pour you some tea to moisten your throat."
The Queen Mother touched Wang Chu's face and was very satisfied with his performance today.
"Go ahead, I'll be waiting for you"
Wang Chu put on his clothes and got out of bed
Nanny Wu walked in and looked at the disheveled Wang Chu with a look of disgust.
She didn't expect that the Queen Mother actually hired Wang Chu to serve her. If this were to be discovered, where would the Queen Mother save her face?
But the Queen Mother is now obsessed with a eunuch named Wang Chu, and it is useless to dissuade her in every way.
Tonight, let Wang Chu serve, this matter must not be discovered
Wang Chu looked at Nanny Wu, and saw that her expression had not changed at all after serving the Queen Mother. Her attitude remained as respectful as ever.
"Your servant pays respects to Madam Wu."
Seeing that he was not arrogant, Nanny Wu felt better as she could not persuade the Queen Mother.
"You serve the Queen Mother well."
Wang Chu bowed his head and agreed.
After Nanny Wu left, Wang Chu looked up at her back, with a flash of murderous intent in his eyes.
Then, he poured a cup of tea, returned to the bed, and fed the Queen Mother himself.
In the past few years, the Queen Mother has been living a widow.
Tonight, after being nourished, she feels naturally different. She looks at Wang Chu very gently.
"What's wrong? Is it Aunt Wu who came in?"
Wang Chu's eyes were red, very humble
"Empress Dowager, it is my blessing to be able to serve you, but Aunt Wu seems to be a little dissatisfied with me. I know I shouldn't overstep my bounds, but I can't help myself towards the Empress Dowager."
The Queen Mother saw Wang Chu's eyes turn red, and immediately pulled him back and coaxed him.
"Madame Wu is only loyal to me. As time goes by, she will see your loyalty to me and will naturally treat you well."
