If the Empress doesnât have evil thoughts or hurt other peopleâs hearts, she wonât be calculated by others. Xiao Zian doesnât think he has done anything wrong, he was kind enough to not fight back.
Imperial Concubine Zhou also felt that Xiao Zianâs move was very good, but there was still a problem: âWhat if the Empress doesnât come? Xiao Wangye has been in Hanfang Palace for more than 2 hours, and he canât stay in there all the time. He might be gone the next moment.â
âIf the Empress doesnât come, mother concubine will treat it as if it didnât happen.â After talking for a long time, his mother concubine still didnât give up the idea of breaking into Hanfang Palace.
It was scary for a woman to become stubborn, and he has seen it today.
âNo!â Imperial Concubine Zhou refused without thinking: âI must know what Xiao Tianyao is doing in Hanfang Palace!â
Things came back to the original point, Xiao Zian sighed weakly. He no longer had the patience to explain to Imperial Concubine Zhou, he just said: âMother, donât worry, the Empress will send someone.â
âIâll wait for half an hour. If the Empress doesnât send anyone within half an hour, Iâll go find her.â After listening to Xiao Zianâs persuasion, Imperial Concubine Zhou also became more considerate.
The Empress was the master of the harem. This happened in the harem, so the Empress must be asked to go out.
Xiao Zian stayed silent and did not answer.
Half an hour was short, he doesnât want to say a word now. Anyway, it was useless to say more.
Time passed by, and Imperial Concubine Zhou looked up at the hourglass from time to time while sitting in the hall. Seeing that the hourglass was halfway through, the Empressâs people still hadnât come, so she couldnât help but ask: âZian, why havenât people come yet?â
âHalf an hour hasnât arrived yet, mother concubine donât have to worry.â Xiao Zianâs face was indifferent. As if the winning ticket was in his hands, making Imperial Concubine Zhou couldnât help but wonder if her son knew something.
Helpless, Imperial Concubine Zhou could only wait. Affected by Xiao Zian, her mood gradually calmed down. Seeing that there was only one-third of the hourglass left, Imperial Concubine Zhou did not rush to urge her son.
She believed in her son and would not aim at anything.
God seems to love Xiao Zian very much. When there was only one-fifth of the hourglass remaining, they heard the anxious cry of the little eunuch: âItâs not good, itâs not good⊠Imperial Concubine, itâs not good, itâs not goodâŠâ
Imperial Concubine Zhouâs heart skipped a beat, and when the little eunuch came in, she said calmly, âWhatâs wrong?â
âOld lady, old lady⊠sheâs out of breath!â The little eunuch ran into the hall, with snot and tears all over his face.
âWhat did you say?â Imperial Concubine Zhou stood up abruptly and moved forward, knocking down the decorations beside her because she was walking too fast.
âImperial Concubine, General Zhou sent someone to send a message saying that the old lady⊠is in a bad state. The General begs Imperial Concubine to invite Imperial Doctor Qin to come to the house.â The little eunuch didnât catch his breath and finished speaking in one breath, for fear that Concubine Zhou would be unhappy if he was a step too late.
âImperial Doctor Qin, Imperial Doctor Qin⊠âŠâ Imperial Concubine Zhou Guifei lost her sense of control when she heard that her old mother was not well, and hurriedly shouted: âHurry up, get someone to invite Imperial Doctor Qin.â
Xiao Zian was also anxious, but he was much calmer than Imperial Concubine Zhou: âMother Concubine⊠Imperial Doctor Qin is going to give Imperial Father an acupuncture treatment, so he canât go out.â At this time, no need to mention the old lady of the Zhou Family dying, even if it was Imperial Concubine Zhou who was dying, there was no way to invite Imperial Doctor Qin.
âImperial Doctor Qin canât go there, what should I do? Zian, your grandmother canât die. If she dies, your grandfather and uncleâŠâ Imperial Concubine Zhou did not dare to say the following words.
She was indeed concerned about her mother, but she was more worried that after her mother dies, the man in their family will have no support from the previous court.
âMother concubine donât need to be impatient. Iâll ask Imperial Doctor Guo to accompany me to visit my grandmother in the Zhou Mansion.â Although he knew what his mother concubine was like, when he heard that what his mother concubine cared about was not about his grandmotherâs life or death, but about his uncleâs marquis title, Xiao Zian felt chilled.
Maybe he asked too much. Living in the royal family but wanting pure affection was simply the biggest joke.
He can see through everything, except in the matter of affection.
âImperial Doctor Guo? Okay, okay, he has been treating your grandmother, I can feel at ease with him going, you go quickly⊠If you need someone to enter the palace and tell me immediately, and I will send it over there.â It was not Imperial Concubine Zhou doesnât worry about her mother, it was just, she was more worried about power.
âMother Concubine mother, donât worry, I will take good care of my grandmother. YouâŠyou must remember my words!â Xiao Zian knew without thinking that the accident in the Zhou family must be the work of the Empress, and the purpose was naturally to get him out of the palace.
If he was not in the palace, his mother concubine will be easy to provoke, and she can do anything.
Although his mother concubine was smart, because of her growth environment, her vision was too short-sighted. She was good at fighting women in the palace, but if she was placed in the court struggle, she will only be eaten with no bones left.
âI know, I know⊠you go, donât delay your grandmotherâs illness.â Imperial Concubine Zhou hurriedly pushed Xiao Zian out.
She was not an idiot, her mother was seriously ill and she canât think about other things.
âMother Concubine, take care of yourself.â Xiao Zian was still worried. If he can, he doesnât want to go out of the palace at all, but⊠âŠ
His mother concubine canât leave the palace, and his grandmotherâs illness canât wait. If he doesnât bring the imperial doctor, not only his mother concubine will be unhappy, but also the Zhou family will be dissatisfied.
Besides, he couldnât afford to gamble. Even if he was not afraid, what if his grandmother was seriously ill?
So, knowing that this matter was likely to be a trap, he can only jump into it.
Now, he can only hope that his mother concubine will be smarter and stop being used by the Empress.
Xiao Zian left full of uneasiness and took another look at Imperial Concubine Zhou before leaving the palace gate. Seeing that Imperial Concubine Zhou was not as irritable as before, he felt a little more at ease.
He hoped things wonât be too bad, he doesnât want to confront his Imperial Uncle Xiao at all!
The Empress and Imperial Concubine Zhou have been keeping a close eye on Xiao Tianyao in Hanfang Palace, so Xiao Tianyao will naturally send someone to watch their movements.
Although he didnât know what they were talking about in the palace, but seeing what the people from the two palaces went out to do something and who they met, Xiao Tianyao could guess their plans.
âXiao Zian, does the Empress want to join forces with Imperial Concubine Zhou?â Xiao Tianyao tapped the armrest casually with his fingers, then looked into the distance indifferently, completely ignoring the actions of the Empress and Imperial Concubine Zhou.
One force surrenders ten meetings. The military power and political power were in his hands. How much trouble can the Empress and Imperial Concubine Zhou make?
Not to mention that no one can break into the Hanfang Palace under his defense. Even if someone breaks in, so what if they learn what was going on in the Hanfang Palace? Will they have a chance to tell it?
âWangye, do you want to stop it?â The shadow guard asked in a low voice.
Xiao Tianyao snorted coldly with an unhappy expression: âDonât worry about the Empress and Imperial Concubine Zhou, just let them come here.â
No matter what they want to do, it was impossible to succeed. He will do what he promised Lin Chujiu⊠âŠ
