There was silence in Qiuyixuan.
Xu Mingying lost too much blood, and now she was frightened, frightened and unable to hold on.
As soon as Song Yunzhao saw it, he asked someone to help her go in to rest. An Shutong hadn't woken up yet, so Xu Mingying shouldn't faint again.
Xu Mingying thanked Concubine Ming and then entered the inner room, but her steps were sloppy and her figure was swaying. She didn't look good no matter what.
Tut.
Song Yunzhao sighed. It was really hard to understand. What were the Queen Mother and An Shutong planning?
The person who reported to the Queen Mother came back and brought back two injured people. Du Wanning and Qin Xiaoyin, who were rescuing people on the spot, saw Song Yunzhao hurriedly coming over to pay their respects.
“I have seen Concubine Ming.”
Song Yunzhao looked at the two of them and said, "No need to be too polite. Sit down and let the imperial doctor look at your injuries."
It was the first time for the two of them to get close to Concubine Ming, and they were both a little cautious.
After hearing this and sitting down, an imperial doctor came over. The two of them also suffered bruises and abrasions, but they were much lighter than Xu Mingying and An Shutong.
The imperial doctor left the ointment behind and then bowed down to leave. An Xiaoyi hadn't woken up yet, so they couldn't leave, so they waited for the summons in the side hall.
Song Yunzhao asked the palace servants to take the two of them to apply medicine first, and also asked people to prepare clothes for them to change into. After the two of them had packed up and came out, Song Yunzhao asked questions.
Mainly ask about the situation of rescuing people at that time.
Du Wanning and Qin Xiaoyin said the same thing. They had a good relationship and they were climbing mountains together. So when they heard the sound, they saw An Xiaoyi rolling down, still holding Xu Guiren in her hand. The two of them didn't think of anything else at the time, so they hurried Come to the rescue. As for what happened at that time, they didn't know, so they only told what they saw exactly.
Concubine Shu has already asked these questions, so it will be much easier to say them again now.
Song Yunzhao:…
At least this proves that part of what Xu Mingying said before is true. When An Shutong fell, he did grab her and roll down with her.
There is nothing else that can be proven.
Du Wanning and Qin Xiaoyin looked at each other. The two of them sat aside and looked at Concubine Ming with a calm expression. At this time, they did not dare to say anything easily.
For this unknown empress, she has had very few interactions with her since entering the palace, and almost never sees anyone.
There is no queen in the palace, and there is no need to pay greetings to the queen mother. They and the concubines do not have the opportunity to be disciplined on weekdays, so it is not easy to meet them often.
Especially since Concubine Ming is a beloved concubine, not everyone can step into the Yaohua Palace, not to mention that the empress is rumored to have a domineering temper, so they dare not see anyone easily.
However, the tone in which Concubine Ming spoke to them just now was very soft, which was quite different from the rumors.
Moreover, the person Ming Concubine is now in private is also very different from the person she is in front of the Queen Mother.
Du Wan stared thoughtfully, lowered her head slightly and began to sort out today's events.
What made her so unlucky was that she happened to be in that position. If she and Qin Xiaoyin had not rescued people at that time, they would probably suffer a lot when the Queen Mother came to her senses.
The dull pain in her knees and arms made Du Wanning feel very bad. She had never suffered such pain in her natal family in her entire life.
Qin Xiaoyin is not as good at hiding her emotions as Du Wanning, and the unhappiness on her face can hardly be suppressed at this moment.
Song Yunzhao didn't notice. She just couldn't figure out why An Shutong targeted Xu Mingying. There was no reason?
But Xu Mingying's expression at that time did not look like she was lying, unless her disguise skills were superb.
Soon, news came that the Empress Dowager and her entourage were about to arrive. Song Yunzhao immediately called Zhang Maoquan and ordered: "Send the eldest prince back first. After sending him back, you don't have to come back. Just stay with Anshun in Yaohua." The palace looks at the eldest prince." Don't worry about other people's intentions, Song Yunzhao should protect his own children first.
Zhang Maoquan was busy responding. The eldest prince's affairs were more important than anything else.
As for An Xiaoyi and Xu Mingying being injured, they were just concubines that the emperor didn't value, and they didn't die, so it didn't matter.
Zhang Maoquan left in a hurry. Song Yunzhao breathed a sigh of relief. She stood up and walked out. Du Wanning and Qin Xiaoyin thought she was going to greet the Queen Mother, so they immediately followed her.
Song Yunzhao didn't say anything when they met and she had no grudges with the two of them. Seeing their uneasy expressions, she acquiesced.
Originally, she wanted to ask Aunt Yu something, but these two people followed her, and Yun Zhao was fine.
Soon the angry-looking Queen Mother arrived, followed by a group of concubines. Song Yunzhao quickly exchanged glances with Concubine Shu, and then brought Du Wanning and Qin Xiaoyin forward to salute.
The Queen Mother entered the palace without even looking at Song Yunzhao.
Song Yunzhao:…
Knowing that the Queen Mother was using the topic to show off her face, Song Yunzhao really couldn't bear it.
Concubine Shu came over and stretched out her hand to help Song Yunzhao up, and said to Du Wanning and Du Wanning, "You guys should get up too."
They thanked each other and stood aside with their heads lowered, not daring to breathe.
Qin Xiyue was among the crowd. Looking at Song Yunzhao's face, she felt better now.
The emperor was not in the palace, and the empress dowager showed her face. Song Yunzhao had to swallow it if he lost her face.
Song Yunzhao and Concubine Shu entered the palace. She reported to the Queen Mother with a straight face the details of the diagnosis and treatment of An Shutong and Xu Mingying by the imperial doctor. Then she also told the situation of Du Wanning and Qin Xiaoyin, and then said with a straight face: "Concubine. After receiving the news, the eldest prince was frightened and was sent back to Yaohua Palace by Zhang Maoquan. I was really worried about the child. If the eldest prince had anything, how would I explain it when His Majesty comes back? Please forgive me, the Queen Mother, I will go first. Go take care of the eldest prince."
After Song Yunzhao finished speaking, he knelt down and saluted. Without waiting for the Queen Mother's reply, he turned around and left.
There was an eerie silence in the palace.
The Queen Mother just fell in love with Concubine Ming, turned around and Concubine Ming left.
This courage is indeed consistent with the rumors.
A bold person who refuses to be wronged.
Du Wanning and Qin Xiaoyin glanced at each other subconsciously, their hearts beating fiercely. Concubine Ming at this moment was completely different from the one they had seen before.
Qin Xiaoyin's hands were getting weak. Not long ago, she had the ambition to wait for the emperor to return to Beijing to win his favor. Now she suddenly felt that living a good life was quite good.
As far as Concubine Ming wants to eat people, she...she can't do it.
Song Yunzhao left Qiu Yixuan and directly ordered people to prepare the car. The sound was heard in the palace, and everyone saw that the Queen Mother's face became even more ugly.
Unfortunately, Song Yunzhao showed up as the eldest prince. Even though the Queen Mother disliked the eldest prince very much, he was the emperor's eldest son after all. If there was any surprise, she would definitely have a quarrel with her because of her son's bad temper.
The Queen Mother's face was green and white, with a faint hint of black.
This Song Yunzhao!
Song Yunzhao got on the carriage and went straight back to the palace, not caring whether the Queen Mother's face looked good or not.
The Queen Mother has no palace rights, but she is a concubine with palace rights after giving birth to the emperor's eldest son. She is also one of the three concubines. If the Queen Mother wants to deal with her, she will not dare to do it without an honorable reason.
She is so arrogant!
