Chapter 351: Sick Body Begs for Mercy

Qian Rongsheng looked at the emperor in surprise when he heard this.

He was not wondering when there was a new child in the palace, but was surprised by the emperor's determination.

As the chief eunuch who served the emperor closely, everyone knew the emperor's favor and indulgence towards Concubine Li in the past. How could he not be surprised when the emperor suddenly made such a determination today.

Qian Rongsheng bowed his body and stepped back. When he left the main hall, Niu Niu happened to be holding a bouquet of gardenias and was being led by Luo Meiren to go into the hall.

"Uncle Qian, have the bad guys been caught?" Niu Niu asked crisply.

Qian Rongsheng, like Li Shunfu, has no choice but to accept this title.

"Niuniu, we're caught. Don't worry, no one will dare to do these things again. Come in quickly, the empress is waiting for you." Qian Rongsheng didn't dare to reveal too much, and he didn't even say who the bad guy was.

Naturally, these words easily fooled the little girl.

Luo Meiren glanced at Qian Rongsheng and did not ask any further questions.

In the main hall, after hearing the servant's announcement, the Queen Mother and her son stopped what they were saying in a tacit understanding.

"Grandma the Queen Mother! Look, these flowers are so fragrant!" Niu Niu rushed to the Queen Mother holding a bouquet of gardenias.

The Queen Mother immediately smiled so hard that her eyes narrowed into slits.

"I'll put it in the house for you, so you don't need to incense it." Niu Niu raised her little face and said seriously to the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother nodded, and immediately someone from the palace brought the flower vase over, and carefully placed the bouquet of gardenias.

The emperor said casually: "Niuniu, why are you still partial? Why do you only send flowers to your Queen Mother and not to the official?"

I send it? "

Niu Niu looked surprised and said: "I didn't know that the emperor's uncle also likes flowers. Then I will pick a bunch for you later. This time it is my fault."

When the Queen Mother saw that the little girl actually apologized for such a small thing, she immediately became unhappy and said angrily to the Emperor: "Emperor, you are such a big man and you still bully a child."

The emperor couldn't help laughing. He didn't know why. As soon as he saw Niu Niu, he couldn't help but want to tease her. Maybe it was because he felt so empty under his knees.

"Have you done all your homework today?" the emperor asked again.

Most children don't like others asking about their homework, but there is one exception, and that is when the homework is completed seriously.

Niu Niu now had a look of pride on her face and said, "Sister Beauty accompanied me to finish my homework, and then she took me to the Royal Garden to pick flowers! I'm not lazy!"

The emperor also looked at her cute appearance and said deliberately: "Really? Can the homework you wrote stand the inspection?"

Niu Niu was a little unhappy and said: "Since I am doing my homework, I must complete it well. If it is a fool, it is better not to do it."

The emperor was stunned when he heard this. He really didn't expect that a little girl who was less than seven years old would have such insight, and asked: "Is this what your father taught you?"

Niuniu shook her head: "My eldest brother said that. My eldest brother is serious about his work. As long as you leave the matter to him, you don't have to worry!"

The emperor couldn't help but sigh in his heart, Gu Mingda had a good life, and his son and daughter both became useful.

Niu Niu turned around and ran into the small study next door. That room was specially organized by the Queen Mother for Niu Niu's use.

After class, the little girl ran over with her homework and sent it to the emperor: "Uncle the emperor, look, I wrote seriously!"

Niuniu's daily homework now, in addition to what Gu Mingtang assigned in class, is to practice calligraphy every day.

The emperor had just received this pile of big characters when another palace official came in to report.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I would like to see you."

The Queen Mother was originally looking at the inner hall, where everyone was happy, but when she heard the announcement, she frowned slightly.

The emperor's first reaction was still worried, and asked: "Isn't she sick? Why did she come here?"

When the palace official heard this, he could only explain: "The imperial concubine does have a sick look on her face, but she forced herself to beg to see her."

The emperor hurriedly said: "Why go out when you are sick? Let her come in first, and then you can ask someone to go to the Imperial Hospital to invite an imperial doctor."

The Queen Mother's expression moved slightly and she said softly: "Emperor, the son of a rich man cannot sit down in the hall, but something happened to a palace maid next to him. She still insists on asking to see her even though she is ill. She and the palace maid are deeply in love, and she is not afraid of getting over her illness. Angry to you."

When the emperor heard this, his expression suddenly became subtle, as if a palace maid's status in Concubine Li's heart was more important than that of the emperor.

Concubine Li was helped in. At this time, her face looked sick and haggard.

When the emperor saw her like this, he couldn't help but feel sad.

Before Concubine Li could get closer, she was stopped by Grandma Sun.

"My dear concubine, your majesty is a precious person. We are too close. It would be bad if the illness is transmitted to your majesty." Grandma Sun placed a futon about five meters away from the emperor and the queen mother.

Concubine Li scolded the man in her heart, and then she could only look at the emperor helplessly.

Although the emperor was distressed, the Queen Mother had a motherly heart, so he couldn't say anything. He could only take the initiative and said: "My concubine, your body has not recovered yet. What is it that you have to come over now to talk about it?"

The imperial concubine is not pretending to be ill, but her personal maid Taozhi knows too much about her. If she goes to the Sentence Department and speaks out, she will also be in bad luck.

What's more important is that so many servants around her are staring at Taozhi at this time. If she, a noble concubine, can't protect her, it will also chill the other servants.

"Your Majesty, I heard that the head maid was sent to the Ministry of Punishment while I was still ill, but she made a big mistake?" The imperial concubine asked knowingly.

She couldn't figure out why Taozhi was involved so quickly. They were always cautious in selecting people. Even though the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs was her man, she deliberately took a detour to do this and let the little maid in the cold palace do it. How could it be exposed so quickly?

The Queen Mother took the initiative to say: "Since you know that those who entered the Ministry of Punishment have committed serious crimes, why bother to come and ask?"

The Imperial Concubine had long lost the respect she should have when facing the Emperor and the Queen Mother due to her long-term favoritism. In addition, her illness inevitably made her mind confused, so she asked:

"Empress Dowager, Taozhi has always been considerate and proper. Is there any misunderstanding here? Did the Ministry of Punishment arrest the wrong person?"

This attitude that made others reflect on themselves made the Queen Mother very dissatisfied, and she said: "Empress Dowager, do you think that I deliberately wronged your maid?"

Li Imperial Concubine hurriedly said: "Empress Dowager misunderstood, but I don't believe Taozhi would make a big mistake. I have long been accustomed to Taozhi serving by my side. If there is a misunderstanding, it is better to solve it as soon as possible. I can't leave her for a moment."

The Queen Mother's face instantly turned cold.

Even the Emperor, when he heard this, had a little coldness in his eyes.
