These days, looking forward to Li Yu's arrival, the Queen had a lot to say, but facing her son's indifferent expression, she didn't know where to start for a while, and a look of guilt appeared on her face.
"Yu'er, go over..."
"There is no need to mention the past." Li Yu interrupted the Queen's words.
The empress looked at Li Yu with mixed feelings: "It's a misunderstanding."
"Oh?" Li Yu looked mockingly, "Yes, it's a misunderstanding."
Ruan Mianmian couldn't help but shake her head. The Queen is used to being aloof, but if she is not willing to put down her body and admit her mistakes now, I'm afraid she won't even have the chance to admit her mistakes in the future.
Seeing Li Yu's expression, the Queen knew that what she said was inappropriate. She was anxious and wanted to make amends but didn't know how to say it.
"Since it's a misunderstanding, let's make it clear. Mother, don't take it to heart." Li Yu raised a sneer at the corner of his mouth, "You'd better take care of yourself and take care of yourself, so that your father won't worry about it."
At this point, it was no longer necessary to say any more. Ruan Mianmian looked at Li Yu and couldn't help but feel distressed.
The queen didn't care whether the queen was sad or not, but Ruan Mianmian really regretted it, so she shouldn't have dragged her little brother here. It was obviously just adding salt to his wounds.
After Li Yu finished speaking, he took Ruan Mianmian and bowed slightly, then turned around. He could feel his mother's eyes falling on his back.
Seeing her son's back slowly leaving, the Queen felt very anxious.
Seeing that Li Yu and Ruan Mianmian were about to step out of the threshold, the queen finally couldn't help shouting: "Yu'er!"
Hearing the call from behind, Li Yu paused for a moment, but in an instant he raised his foot and crossed the threshold again.
"Pfft——!" The Queen couldn't help but spurt out a mouthful of blood.
Seeing them coming out, the serving maid shouted loudly as soon as she stepped across the threshold: "The Queen!"
Li Yu stopped but still didn't look back. Ruan Mianmian looked up and saw the worry on his face.
It was really awkward. The little breasted dumpling pulled Li Yu around and rushed: "Quick, go in and take a look."
"Mother." Li Yu quickly came to the queen's bed.
Seeing her son go and come back, the Queen Mother suddenly grabbed his hands and said: "Yu'er, my Yu'er, I'm sorry."
As soon as she finished speaking, the Queen burst into tears. Her pale face and the blood on the corners of her mouth and on the quilt made people feel unbearable.
Ruan Mianmian quickly reached out and touched the Queen's pulse, while Li Yu remained motionless and allowed her to grab his hand.
"It's okay. It's not a bad thing to spit out this bruise."
"Welcome to the Emperor. Welcome to the Queen Mother." The little eunuch outside knelt down in panic.
All the maids and eunuchs inside and outside the house knelt down. It was a coincidence that when the emperor came to the door of Kunyi Palace, the Queen Mother also arrived, so they both came in together.
"Queen!" The emperor couldn't help but become nervous when he saw the queen's appearance as he approached, "Quickly call the imperial doctor."
"Your Majesty, there is no need to panic." Ruan Mianmian said calmly.
The Queen Mother has complete trust in Ruan Mianmian: "Your Majesty, since Mianmian said so, the Queen must be fine."
Ruan Mianmian suggested cautiously: "However, it would be better if the imperial doctor comes to see you. At least he can prescribe a prescription to adjust your body."
Hearing that there was no need for the emperor's orders, Eunuch Kang hurriedly went down and asked the imperial doctor to come.
"Your Majesty, Queen Mother, I want to talk to Yu'er alone." The Queen held Li Yu's hand tightly and begged.
Seeing that the emperor's brows did not relax and he was obviously still a little worried, Xiao Naituanzi stepped forward and said: "Brother, I know what I'm doing, so you don't have to worry."
The Queen Mother also advised: "Your Majesty, Yu'er has his own sense of proportion."
"Your Majesty!" the Queen begged again.
"Okay." The emperor could only agree.
Soon a palace maid came forward to help tidy up and wipe away the blood from the corner of her mouth. After changing the quilt, the Queen's face was still a little pale, but there was a faint blush on her cheeks due to excitement.
Seeing that the Queen was in much better spirits than before, the Emperor finally felt a little more relieved. He turned around and supported the Queen Mother and went out first.
Ruan Mianmian walked up to Li Yu and smiled at him. Their eyes met in mid-air, and he knew without words that she was supporting any decision he made.
After walking out of the door, the maid of Kunyi Palace led Ruan Mianmian towards the main hall. When she entered, the Emperor and the Queen Mother were already waiting there.
"Your Majesty, the Queen is depressed, and the blood has made her feel better." Ruan Mianmian said as she entered the door.
The Queen Mother shook her head: "Your Majesty, it is up to them to resolve the matter between their mother and son. Yu'er is a sensible person."
"It's all Mian Mian's credit." The emperor looked at the little breast dumpling, "No one can persuade him, but you, a little kid, can persuade him with just a few words."
Ruan Mianmian bowed slightly: "Your Majesty, forgive me, but I am not that capable. I just want to see the Queen. As for the rest, as the Queen Mother said, no one else can interfere."
"The queen is at fault, but Yu'er is too stubborn." The emperor shook his head.
The Queen Mother snorted coldly: "If you and the Ai family hadn't protected Yu'er overtly and covertly all these years, it's not certain whether he would have survived in the palace."
"Mother." The emperor frowned, "It's not that exaggerated."
"I'm afraid the emperor has forgotten the days when Aijia and you were walking on thin ice in the palace. Although Yu'er is the prince, he is a child without mother's care. In this palace that eats people without spitting out bones, how can he live?
What kind of day is it that you have no idea about? Now, what qualifications does the queen have to ask him to forgive?"
It was so well said that Ruan Mianmian almost couldn't help but want to clap her hands. Fortunately, the Queen Mother spoke for Li Yu.
Glancing at the emperor, the Queen Mother added: "Don't say Yu'er has any resentment towards the queen. Even if he has resentment towards you, you both owe him."
After hearing this, the emperor finally felt guilty after thinking about it carefully: "The Queen Mother has taught you a lesson."
Ruan Mianmian sat and waited obediently, not daring to say anything. After all, it was the emperor's family matter, and she was just a little baby. Even if she understood, she had to pretend not to understand.
The eunuchs of Kunyi Palace served tea and snacks, and Eunuch Kang took them and served them himself.
Anyway, after waiting, Ruan Mianmian politely started to eat some snacks. The Emperor and the Queen Mother were originally in a bad mood, but they couldn't help but relax after seeing the small breast dumplings being eaten happily.
After about half a stick of incense, Li Yu came over from outside and avoided the expectant looks of the Emperor and the Queen Mother.
"The Emperor and the Queen Mother should go and see the Queen Mother." Ruan Mianmian jumped off the chair, "Brother, would you like to take me out of the palace?"
"Okay." Li Yu walked forward silently, took Ruan Mianmian's hand, and walked out.
They walked all the way towards the palace gate, with Jiu'er behind them. The coachman from the Ding'an Marquis Mansion saw this and followed them in the carriage with a wink.
