Chapter 520 Coaxing Daughter
Chapter 520 Coaxing Daughter
When Chen Duo rushed to Yinyu Hall, Wang Xifeng was trying her best to coax her daughter.
Ru'er waited until everyone else had left before she collapsed to the ground with her legs weakened. When An'er came to ask her, Ru'er cried and told him everything she had heard and seen outside.
Everyone then realized: someone must have planted a maggot in front of the Emperor. The Emperor was wary of the old power of the Wang Family, and at the same time felt that the Imperial Concubine was suppressing the Empress. So before he died, he had to take action on behalf of the Emperor and Prince Duan to deal with the Imperial Concubine!
Everyone was so scared that they were sweating and their faces turned pale.
Especially Aunt Ji, she put her hands together and waved them upwards, chanting Buddha's name non-stop: "Amitabha, may the late Saint Empress Dowager bless you, the Imperial Concubine is safe and sound, and the Princess is safe and sound!"
He Ke was panicking, and without saying a word, he rushed into the inner room, crying so hard that his face was covered with tears, and shouted at Wang Xifeng:
"Does mother think I am such a heartless person? If mother is gone, what is the point of living?!
"Abandoning me at this critical moment!
"The relationship between us as mother and daughter is so frivolous, can it be blown away by such a little storm?!
"If mother thinks I am a burden, just tell her! I will report to father right away, and tomorrow I will register the imperial certificate back to Li's name!"
Everyone in the room looked at Wang Xifeng with raised eyebrows.
Wang Xifeng hurriedly tried to pull He Ke, but He Ke shook her off and went back to her own warm room crying.
Wang Xifeng hurriedly chased after them and turned back to ask Nanny Ji and Aunt Meng for help to smooth things over, but to her surprise, the people around her had disappeared without a trace.
Wang Xifeng could only smile and coax him: "How could I mean that? I thought the emperor was dying and was afraid of chaos outside, so I didn't let you follow..."
"Mother, do you think I'm a fool?!
"If that's the case, you should have brought Jing Lichunsheng and An'er Chunnuan with you, why did you leave all four of them behind?!
"Sister Ruer has rarely appeared in public this year, but she is the most stable person in our family. You only brought her with you. Can't I see what this means?!
“Mother, don’t treat me like a three-year-old child!
"Why did the Emperor send an edict just now asking you to supervise the Imperial Mausoleum? Why did Jianzhong say that he 'originally' wanted to take me with him, but was rejected by the Empress?
"Don't I understand?! Then hasn't my mother raised me for nothing over the years!?"
He Ke cried and yelled, and even wanted to slam the table at Wang Xifeng.
Wang Xifeng was speechless and could only smile: "Mother was wrong for a moment... I will definitely take you with me wherever I go tomorrow, okay?"
He Ke shed tears and sneered: "I have listened to and believed everything my mother said before, so what? I was abandoned today!
"I will go to the Empress Dowager's coffin to report to my father in a moment, and tomorrow I will move to Aunt Yongning's place to accompany her in mourning. By the way, I would like to ask my father to help me renovate the Princess's mansion!
“Three years later, when Aunt Yongning is in mourning, I will marry someone directly from her house!
"I will not trouble your Majesty any more!"
Wang Xifeng came forward awkwardly to hug her daughter, but was also pushed away.
But he was in the wrong this time and had no choice but to sit close to his daughter and promise her all kinds of benefits before he could make He Ke cry less.
Fortunately, Chen Duo arrived and rescued Wang Xifeng.
Nanny Ji appeared out of nowhere, smiling and bringing Chuncao and water for washing face to help He Ke wash up.
Wang Xifeng couldn't help it and glared at them one by one: "All of you are just watching my fun!"
"Who can we blame?" The voice of County Lady Zhai came out.
When he turned around, even Lin Daiyu was standing aside with a stern face: "Your Majesty, you are coming to the meeting alone, how majestic and heroic!"
After saying that, he even rolled his eyes and walked into the room to accompany He Ke.
Princess Zhai smiled and said, "He Ke was just sitting there with us, with cold hands and feet.
"I didn't run over until your chariot stopped in front of the palace. My legs were weak and I fell."
Wang Xifeng sighed: "I know, I know, but..."
Princess Zhai ignored her and went into the warm room.
Wang Xifeng, who had finished her defense halfway, had no choice but to go to the main hall to meet Chen Duo with a hum.
Chen Duo knelt down cheerfully and saluted, and then told Wang Xifeng about his promotion. He then informed her, "Your Majesty said that Eunuch Qinghai has another mission. Should he come back soon?"
"Although he is incompetent and has no character, he grew up with the emperor. The emperor will keep him in a safe place and take care of him."
Wang Xifeng waved her hands, "He has nothing to do with us, so let's not worry about him."
Chen Duo bowed and said yes.
"If you get promoted, Old Xia will have no hope. When we meet in the future, you still have to be more respectful and careful."
Wang Xifeng gave another instruction and then discussed with him about setting off the next day.
Before leaving, Chen Duo glanced at the warm room and asked softly, "The princess is left alone in the palace, and Concubine De was slapped by you before...
"Do you want me to leave a few people for the princess?"
Wang Xifeng looked at him and asked, "Are you talking about Jinglian or Chunhe?"
"I plan to follow my master to the imperial mausoleum. Han Lue and the others will stay behind. If my master thinks it's okay, I will make the arrangements."
Chen Duo said.
Wang Xifeng nodded without hesitation: "Assign Jinglian to Heke and Chunhe to Shi Ronghua."
Chen Duo raised his eyebrows: "Shi Ronghua has a Nanny Duan by her side, isn't that enough?"
"Madame Duan is old after all, and it is hard for her to handle the situation alone against the Empress and Consort De."
Wang Xifeng sighed, "The emperor said that I lured hundreds of birds to pay homage to the phoenix in the palace. I have thought about this matter over and over again, and I am afraid that only Shi Ronghua has witnessed it.
“She was good friends with Mr. Sang before, so she might have told him about this.
“The fact that the Supreme is forcing me to do this will sooner or later reach her ears.
"I'm afraid she'll go looking for trouble with Sang on impulse, and then harm her fetus, which would be more trouble than gain."
Chen Duo nodded in understanding: "Then I will arrange it right away."
As the two were talking, Wu Jin came running in from outside, followed by the little tabby cat Bannu - the half-year-old Bannu had grown up and was very beautiful with delicate features.
As soon as the two cats meowed, Su Yu jumped out from the inner room. She was stunned when she saw the situation, then opened her mouth and said: "Meow~~~~~~"
Wang Xifeng couldn't help scratching her ears at the howling. "All right, you three! When I'm not home later, you can talk all you want! Now shut up!"
The three cats ignored her and instantly huddled together, scratching and kicking her, with cat fur flying everywhere!
Seeing that the situation was not good, Chen Duo quickly said goodbye and slipped away.
Wang Xifeng sat there waiting for half a quarter of an hour. Seeing the three cats still tearing at each other, she finally couldn't help but yelled:
"An'er, return the jade to Concubine Xu!
"Deduct Wu Jin's meal today!
“Open Ercai’s chain!
"Let me see who else dares to be so presumptuous!"
When they heard that Jin Ercai was going to be released, the three cats walked away with shamefaced looks on their faces and found a corner to lick their fur.
Yinyu Palace finally quieted down.
The evening drum sounded in the distance and the palace gates were locked.
The Daming Palace was brightly lit. Although the doors of countless palaces were closed, people were coming and going, and the palace was quietly bustling.
