Quickly wear the pregnant queen

"Go check this Wu Zhaoyi."

After the palace banquet was over and as soon as he got on the carriage, Eunuch Wang heard this order.

"Your Majesty, what's wrong with Wu Zhaoyi?"

Qi Yuan looked cold and solemn.

During the banquet, she secretly glanced at him four times.

"My lord, maybe she is interested in you?"

Eunuch Wang heard why Qi Yuan wanted to investigate Wu Zhaoyi, but he still felt that his prince was too charming.

Qi Yuan gave him a cold look, "Just go and check. I believe she is an assassin and deliberately approached His Majesty."

Perhaps the purpose was to assassinate their uncle and nephew.

Eunuch Wang nodded and said no more.

----

"The emperor's uncle has left Beijing." Qi Yun pinched his eyebrows, "I actually feel empty in my heart. Although the emperor's uncle does not interfere in the government affairs on weekdays, with him here, I will feel safe in my heart."

Even if something happens, his uncle will always be there to help him.

"Is there something important for Your Highness to leave the capital?" Xu Lingyi asked tentatively while sharpening his ink for Qi Yun.

"It's not an important matter." After Qi Yun finished speaking, he added, "But it is for the emperor's uncle. He wants to find his wife and will leave Beijing this year."

Xu Lingyi's hand shook.

Qi Yuan sent so many people to find her but failed, and now he has to go find her himself.

Wasn't he angry with her?

If she was abandoned by someone, I'm afraid she would hate this person for the rest of her life and would never go to him.

But Qi Yuan...hasn't he given up on her, a heartless woman?

"What's wrong with you? Which sentence scared you?" Qi Yun said with a smile.

Xu Lingyi shook his head, "I'm just a little surprised, why hasn't the prince given up yet?"

"I don't know why your uncle is so persistent and infatuated."

Qi Yun couldn't understand it, but he also respected his uncle's decision.

"On his deathbed, the emperor's grandfather wanted to appoint a concubine for the emperor's uncle, but the emperor's uncle still refused. After that, he fought against the courtiers for this woman."

"Uncle Huang is willing to have only her as his wife in this life, but this man is so ignorant of cherishing her. There is no other man as good as Uncle Huang in the world."

Xu Lingyi looked pale and agreed softly, "Yes, this woman is not worthy of the prince."

"The Imperial Grandmother is old and the Imperial Uncle has left the capital. I'm afraid that Grandma will feel uncomfortable in her heart. During this time, you can spend more time with the Imperial Grandmother for me."

After he ascended the throne, he realized that there were too many government affairs to attend to.

Even though she was such a beauty, even though he was admitted to the palace, he didn't have much time to spend with her.

"Okay, I understand."

Sure enough, less than seven days after Qi Yuan left Beijing, the Empress Dowager fell ill.

She was the only one in the harem, so she would definitely go to attend to the illness in person.

Although the Empress Dowager's illness was just a cold, it came on quickly and healed very slowly.

Xu Lingyi took care of her for nearly half a month, and the Empress Dowager's cold was much better.

"You are a good boy. You have worked hard during this period."

The Empress Dowager didn't like her very much at first.

Because her appearance was so striking, it reminded her of Xu Lingyi.

It is also as bright and moving as her, making people unable to take their eyes away.

Since Xu Lingyi abandoned Qi Yuan, she has had prejudices against extremely beautiful women.

"This is my duty as a concubine, and it is not considered hard work."

Xu Lingyi gently put down the medicine bowl and helped the Queen Mother to sleep.

"You have a good rest."

During the cold weather before, Xu Lingyi had thought of using some of the treasures in her brocade bag for the Empress Dowager.

But I was worried that the effect would be too significant, so I waited until yesterday to use it.

The treasure given by the immortal is indeed extraordinary. The Empress Dowager is much better today and she seems to be in good spirits.

"If she were like you, the Ai family would laugh out of their dreams."

The Queen Mother looked at her and sighed again.

"I wonder how Yuan'er is doing outside?"

After being ill for more than ten days, what the Empress Dowager missed most was Qi Yuan who was away from home.

During this period, Xu Lingyi would hear her talking about Qi Yuan every day.

"If His Highness knew that you were sick, he might return to Beijing soon." Xu Lingyi comforted her softly.

"not necessarily."

The Empress Dowager's voice was hoarse, "The Ai family knows Yuan'er well. He has been like this since he was a child. He seems cold and indifferent to outsiders, talks little and seldom gets close to others."

"But once he likes something or someone, he will be particularly persistent."

The Empress Dowager sighed, and things from Qi Yuan's childhood came to mind again.

"The Ai family still remembers that he had a cat when he was a child. When the cat died, Yuan'er cried hard."

"He was already a little older by then, and the Ai family hadn't seen him cry in front of others for a long time, but that time he was extremely sad."

"This is already true for pets, let alone humans."

The Empress Dowager held Xu Lingyi's hand and said, "This son of the Ai family will never let go of anything he believes in. He is extremely stubborn. He was unwilling to get married in the past. No one can persuade him."

"Now I stubbornly like a woman and refuse to give up no matter what. The Ai family is really afraid that she will never be found. What will happen to my Yuan'er then?"

The more the Empress Dowager talked, the more depressed she became.

"If we can find her, if she is willing to stay with Yuan'er safely, the Ai family will be able to forgive everything she has done in the past."

The Queen Mother's bottom line dropped again and again.

She was not angry, but she was willing to let go for Qi Yuan.

…………

Xu Lingyi came out of the Queen Mother's Palace. On the way, she couldn't help but think about what the Queen Mother said.

She originally thought that her leaving would only make Qi Yuan angry for a while.

After all, he already knew that she was not a good woman.

A lot of things in the past were just pretended by her.

But she never thought that Qi Yuan would not be able to let go of her departure for so long.

When he acted like this, she felt even more guilty.

But she couldn't ignore the immortal's mission.

…………

"Go back to Beijing."

Qi Yuan had just walked halfway, and only eight days later, he received a letter from Beijing.

The queen mother is ill.

The letter stated something serious, so Qi Yuan did not dare to delay and hurried back to the capital overnight.

I finally got there today.

While feeding the horses and resting, Eunuch Wang also handed over the information he found to Qi Yuan.

"Your Majesty, this is the Wu Zhaoyi you wanted to check last time. All the information is here."

He just sorted it out.

"Your Majesty, there doesn't seem to be any problem with Wu Zhaoyi's identity?"

"The daughter of a farmer in Wujiazhuang? She grew up in a temple?" Qi Yuanya looked at the letter.

"Yes, I even sent someone to take Wu Zhaoyi's picture to the temple to ask questions. She indeed grew up in the temple since she was a child."

"Although people around the village haven't seen her much, they all know that this daughter of the Wu family has been practicing in the temple since she was a child. She is extremely beautiful."

Qi Yuan's stern eyes narrowed slightly, "Check again!"

His voice was cold.

"My lord, is something wrong?"

"There's something wrong with this person."
