After the regent and his wife left in a hurry, Chamberlain Xu secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at the face of the empress dowager and asked carefully: "Master, do you want the imperial doctor to come back and take a look at your phoenix body?"

The upright figure of the Empress Dowager collapsed on the pillow like a deflated balloon. She waved her hands feebly: "If the imperial doctor had been useful, there would be no such drama today."

Chamberlain Xu heard the profound meaning of the Empress Dowager's words, and finally had the courage to ask a nonsense question: "I have something on my mind, I don't know whether I should talk about it or not?"

"Our master-servant relationship has lasted for decades. When did the Ai family treat you as an outsider? Why are you hesitant to speak now that you are old? Tell me."

Waiter Xu's eyes were hot, and he came closer, looked around, and then whispered: "Old slave, I feel that your illness comes and goes strangely. The king, the princess... seems to have a problem. She just

It doesn’t sound like it’s true that I feel dizzy and uncomfortable.”

After all, he did not dare to point the finger directly at Zhong Jiuchou, and vaguely blamed the princess.

Who knows how many regents there are in Feng'an Palace. He doesn't want to die too early.

The Empress Dowager understood what he was thinking and gave him a thoughtful look. In this situation, her own safety had to be decided by that brat. For a slave to say this, he was already loyal to his master.

.

She sighed: "Xu Ying, if you live a long time, you will realize that many things are beyond your control. When I was young, I thought only that the mother is more valuable than the son. As long as the son born in the Ai family can get the throne, Ai

The family can do whatever they want in this life. Unexpectedly, the son failed to live up to his expectations and left his mother behind to go to the underground to meet his ancestors. He left behind a mess that was difficult to clean up. Only then did the Ai family understand that relying on their son alone was not enough.

My grandson must be brought up by me since he was a child so that he can be stable for the rest of his life."

Her words seemed to have nothing to do with the vague words of the waiter Xu, but in fact they confirmed the suspicion of the waiter Xu.

Chamberlain Xu has followed her into the palace since she was a child, and they have grown up together. They have experienced ups and downs, gained power, and grown old. Now that the situation is not good for them, they feel very sad.

However, he clearly remembered that the little prince born to the late empress was smart and had a deep relationship with his grandmother. For some reason, she would kill her grandson?

Is it just because the child's maternal grandfather's family is powerful in the court and difficult to control?

But today's little emperor not only has a powerful grandfather's family, but also has the backing of the regent. Compared with the abandoned son before, he is even more difficult to deal with.

Waiter Xu did not dare to speak anymore, but quietly served her some porridge. After a long while, he asked again: "Why did the master give that phoenix hairpin to the princess? That's..."

The next words were cut off by the Empress Dowager, and she did not dare to say any more.

Then she snorted coldly and said faintly: "The imperial court has almost become a monologue now, and the Shi family is becoming more and more unruly. We need to find something for Xiaojiu to do to distract him."

Waiter Xu suddenly understood and flattered him.

Tu frowned again: "But, the one wearing the mask is still guarding the court on behalf of the prince?"

"He is just following orders. How could he be so concerned about Shi Hanzhang's mother and son? There is always a way. When things calm down, you can summon King Xian to come and see the Ai family, and say that the Ai family wants him to sing 'Jade House Spring'

'Yes."

Waiter Xu immediately understood and bowed and retreated.

In the carriage, Zhong Jiuchou held Ran Shaotang's little hand tightly and asked with ardent concern: "How are you? Are you still dizzy? If you still feel uncomfortable, let's go back to your parents' house immediately and let your mother-in-law take a look at it for you."

"What are you looking at?"

"Look, are you pregnant?"

"Fart. You haven't even consummated your marriage, how can you be pregnant?"

"Oh, you also know that the marriage was not consummated? You are so pitiful for your husband."

Ran Shaotang picked up his ear with one hand: "Are you pitiful? There are several beautiful concubines waiting for you in the house? I'm afraid you won't be able to do it."

Zhong Jiuchou immediately did not dare to mention anything else and quickly changed the topic.
