After all, she was the Queen Mother, the emperor's biological mother. If something like this happened, he couldn't just ignore it, otherwise it would spread to the ears of officials and people, which would not be very pleasant.
"However," the attendant hesitated for a moment and said, "she asked to see the princess."
"She wants to see the princess?" This fact surprised Bai Yuxian.
She has already fallen to this point, what else does the Queen Mother do when she sees Yu Siling? Yu Siling is a princess from a foreign country, what can she say when she sees her? Could it be that she has some other tricks up her sleeve?
"I understand, please step back."
After the entourage went out, Bai Yuxian put down the official document and fell into deep thought.
The person Ye Fuxun hates most now is the Queen Mother.
Now that Ye Fuxun finally has a peaceful life, shouldn't she be allowed to see her enemies and remember bad past events again?
When Bai Yuxian returned to the room, it was already very late. She originally thought that Ye Fuxun was still sleeping, but she didn't expect that she woke up and went to the kitchen to make some midnight snacks.
"I'm back, I made a midnight snack, come and eat."
"If you don't sleep well, what are you doing with all this work?" Bai Yuxian was moved, but also felt sorry for her and didn't want her to have to worry about anything.
"When I woke up and found you weren't there, I knew you must be busy with official duties again, and couldn't sleep anymore, so I went to the kitchen to make some porridge and wait for you to come back."
Ye Fuxun said, holding Bai Yuxian and sitting down at the table. He soon noticed the worry in his eyebrows and asked, "Is there something wrong? I see you are frowning."
Bai Yuxian paused, then said: "It's the Queen Mother's business."
"Queen Mother? What's wrong with her?" Ye Fuxun couldn't help but frowned when she heard it was related to the Queen Mother. These days, she rarely thought of that old woman.
"News came from the palace today that the Queen Mother committed suicide by cutting her wrists in the cold palace."
"Dead?" Ye Fuxun just raised his eyebrows slightly, but there was no big reaction.
Bai Yuxian shook his head: "No, she was rescued and she didn't die, but I think she didn't really want to commit suicide, she just wanted to cause trouble."
Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence that I didn't cut my wrists earlier and later, but had to wait until the palace attendants came in to deliver the meal? Besides, the Queen Mother cherished her life very much and was not someone who would commit suicide.
"Yes, she must still be dreaming about making a comeback. How can she be willing to die?"
Ye Fuxun actually felt a little disappointed. It would be better if the Queen Mother died. But thinking about it again, she felt that the Queen Mother had done countless evils in her life, and it would be too easy for her to let her die like this.
Seeing Bai Yuxian frowning, Ye Fuxun also had a guess in his heart, so he asked again: "Did something happen related to me?"
Bai Yuxian nodded: "Yes, the Queen Mother wants to see you alone, but I don't know what she has in mind."
What he could think of was that the Queen Mother used benefits to beg Ye Fuxun, no, it should be said that it was Yu Siling who helped her leave the cold palace. But his intuition told him that things were not that simple.
"She wants to see me? What qualifications does she have to see me now?"
Bai Yuxian said: "If you really don't want to see her, then you don't have to go, so as not to cause trouble for yourself. The cold palace is guarded by the imperial guards. No matter how powerful she is, she won't be able to jump up."
Having said that, the Queen Mother has always been very cunning. This time she pretended to slit her wrists and caused a disturbance. There is no telling what she will do next time. Moreover, it is possible that the Queen Mother will say something that they don't know.
After much thought, Ye Fuxun decided to go see the Queen Mother.
Bai Yuxian was a little worried, but Ye Fuxun finally calmed down. He didn't want the Queen Mother to disturb him.
"Since you are going, I will accompany you tomorrow."
Ye Fuxun naturally understood that he had good intentions, but the Queen Mother only said that she was alone. If she saw Bai Yuxian present, she might not say what she originally planned to say.
"No, it's fine for me to be alone. Besides, you're so busy every day, so don't be distracted by me."
In this case, Bai Yuxian said nothing more.
The next morning, after breakfast, Ye Fuxun went into the palace without even a maid.
At first, the Queen Mother was imprisoned in her original palace. Later, because Ye Fuxun said, "She lives so well," she was moved by Bai Yuxian to the North Palace, the most remote and worst environment in the palace.
It was the cold palace where the deposed concubines lived over the years, and there were many concubines who were killed by the Queen Mother, and their ghosts still linger.
There are fallen leaves everywhere in the cold palace, and there are no decent flowers and plants. It is deserted, desolate and desolate. But in Ye Fuxun's opinion, this is better than many places in the world, and it is still a good place for the Queen Mother to live.
The soft sedan stopped at the entrance of Leng Palace. Ye Fuxun stood up, glanced at the word "Beigong" on the door plaque, and walked in on foot.
At this time, the Queen Mother was leaning on the soft couch, looking out the window at the sky with white clouds. She was wearing a dark yellow middle coat, her face was as pale as paper, her lips were a little chapped, and her hair was scattered on her back.
She has gained a lot of gray hair in just a few months, and she looks more than ten years older. But that's just because her face looks older, but her eyes are still bright and bright, exuding the same shrewdness as before.
of light.
When Ye Fuxun walked in slowly, the Queen Mother just turned her head. The two of them looked at each other up and down, with deep hatred in their eyes.
However, the emotion in the Queen Mother's eyes was quickly hidden. She actually showed a smile, pointed to the seat not far away, and said: "You are here, sit down."
Ye Fuxun walked over and sat down calmly. There was no expression on his beautiful face. He just asked lightly: "The Queen Mother came to me, what's the matter?"
The Queen Mother straightened her back, sat up, faced Ye Fulun, and then said slowly: "The Ai family has mentioned Hong Yue to you before. I believe you still have an impression, Princess?"
Ye Fuxun didn't know why the Queen Mother suddenly mentioned this name, so he looked at her suspiciously.
"Of course I have an impression, because not only have I heard about this person from you, but your good righteous daughter Xiao Lanxin has also mentioned it in front of me more than once."
The Queen Mother paused, thinking that Xiao Lanxin had been beheaded, and she still felt a little reluctant. After all, that was the daughter she had loved with all her heart, but now was not the time to be sad.
"Then you should also be very clear about Hong Yue's status and weight in Xiao Zichen's mind, right?"
Ye Fuxun lowered her eyes and raised the corners of her mouth slightly. She could probably guess what the Queen Mother was going to say next.
"So what if it's clear? Doesn't the Queen Mother want to tell me that a dead person can still snatch King Chen from me?"
The Queen Mother was stunned for a moment, not expecting that the other party could actually see through her thoughts. However, this did not matter.
"Why not? In King Chen's eyes, Hongyue is the only one who can take his heart. Maybe you are somewhat similar to that woman, but you are not her after all.
