When Chu Zhao arrived at Ci'an Palace, your father-in-law was already waiting outside the palace. When he saw her coming, he went to greet her personally and led her to the Queen Mother's bed.

"The princess is here. The queen mother has been diagnosed and treated by the princess in the past few days. She has been eating well and sleeping well. I wonder if the princess went out of the city to meet the prince today and missed the time to give the queen mother an acupuncture. The queen mother suddenly became ill again."

Your father-in-law was thoughtfully making up a reason, secretly observing Chu Zhao's reaction.

Chu Zhao didn't even bother to give him a look, and bent down to look at the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother lay quietly on the bed, her face was rosy, her breathing was even, and there was nothing unusual except that her eyes were closed and she could not wake up no matter how she screamed.

She sat down in front of the bed, grabbed the Queen Mother's hand and felt her pulse.

Your father-in-law asked cautiously: "How is it? Is the situation serious?"

Chu Zhao did not answer, but said calmly: "Excuse me, please send someone to call my two assistants, and then go to Chaoyun Palace to invite Princess Huai'an. I will continue to perform acupuncture on the Queen Mother."

When your father-in-law heard what she said, he didn't know whether she could see that the Queen Mother was pretending, so he could only nod in agreement and sent people to the Taiyuan Hospital and Chaoyun Palace.

Chu Zhao used his other hand to feel his pulse, and then said: "I was walking in a hurry just now, and I forgot to tell the prince not to drink too much. I would like to trouble your father-in-law to run for me and tell the prince face to face."

"Ah?" Your father-in-law hesitated for a moment, fearing what Chu Zhao might do by sending him away, so he said, "The Queen Mother can't live without our family. It's not a big deal. Let's ask Gao Lin to come over!"

Chu Zhao knew he would say this, and said with an indifferent expression: "Anyone can go, as long as the message reaches us."

Murong Xiao had just arrived in Beijing, and everyone around him stayed outside the palace. Even Beiyuan couldn't follow him. She thought about asking Gao Lin to go over and say hello. If Murong Xiao had anything to do, Gao Lin could help take care of him.

Your father-in-law didn't know Chu Zhao's plan, so he immediately called Gao Lin over.

Chu Zhao told Gao Lin: "Go and tell the prince, just tell me what I said. He has traveled a long distance and is tired of traveling and traveling. He should not be too indulgent at once. Let him eat more vegetables and drink less. After eating, he should return to the palace to rest early and wait for him." After you have rested, come back to the palace to pay your respects to the Queen Mother. By the way, please tell Her Majesty the Queen Mother that the Queen Mother's condition is not serious, so don't worry."

After Gao Lin listened carefully, he bowed and resigned.

Your father-in-law probed: "The princess said that the Queen Mother's condition is not serious, right?"

Chu Zhao glanced at him and said indifferently: "If it's serious, how can my father-in-law be so calm?"

"..." Your father-in-law choked and did not dare to say anything further.

Princess Jingnan is so wise that she almost seems like a demon. The more he talks, the more secrets he reveals. It is better to just pretend to be dumb.

After a while, A'ao and Yun Qi came with medicine boxes on their backs, and Princess Huai'an was also picked up from Chaoyun Palace.

Chu Zhao was still wearing the princess's dress. Ah Ao couldn't help but feel slightly lost when he walked in and saw her in such a bright and moving outfit.

This was the first time he had seen a princess dressed so grandly. He had to say that this outfit really complemented her. A person like her should be so noble by nature, high in the sky like the blazing sun, and admired by everyone.

It's just that this nobility was given by the prince and has nothing to do with him.

The young man lowered his eyes to cover the loneliness in his eyes, and asked as if nothing had happened: "The princess has met the prince. Is everything okay with the prince?"

"Yes, I see." Chu Zhao didn't notice anything strange about him and said with a smile, "The prince is doing well. He looks more majestic than before."

"...That's good." A'ao said. Since it was the Queen Mother's territory, he didn't ask any more questions.

Chu Zhao waved his hand and called Yun Qi: "I got up too early to greet the prince, and I am very tired at this time. To avoid any mistakes, you will give the Queen Mother the acupuncture today."

"Me?" Yun Qi was taken aback and hesitated, "Can I do it? The Queen Mother has a daughter of gold, what if I..."

"Nothing goes wrong, I will be there to guide you. Besides, Princess Huai'an is here." Chu Zhao gave him a look, "You try it on the princess first and then give it to the Queen Mother. It will be fine."

"Okay then!" Yun Qi said bravely, "Since the princess said so, I will give it a try boldly."

The Queen Mother had been pretending to be ill, but when she heard that Chu Zhao wanted this little assistant to give her an acupuncture, she suddenly felt uneasy.

But she couldn't wake up suddenly at this time, so she had no choice but to passively accept it.

Chu Zhao took Princess Huai'an's hand and gently reassured her not to be afraid. He then whispered in her ear: "You have to scream loudly later that it hurts."

Princess Huai'an was stunned for a moment, then nodded obediently: "Sister Princess, don't worry, for the sake of the imperial grandmother, you will not be afraid of me no matter how much you love her."

"Good child." Chu Zhao patted her head and instructed Yun Qi to put the first needle in her head.

"Ah, ah..." Princess Huai'an immediately shouted loudly.

The Queen Mother was startled and almost sat up in excitement.

Your father-in-law was also frightened and asked quickly: "What's wrong? What's wrong?"

"It's okay." Chu Zhao glanced at it and said calmly, "Yun Qi is doing this kind of acupuncture for the first time, and his hands are a bit unfamiliar. It hurts a little, but the effect is the same."

"Ah?" Your father-in-law looked at the Queen Mother's face and didn't know what to do.

While hesitating, Chu Zhao guided Yun Qi to take the second injection.

"It hurts, it hurts, it hurts..." Princess Huai'an's little face immediately wrinkled into a ball, and she kept crying out in pain.

The Queen Mother was so frightened that she could hardly pretend anymore.

"Didn't the princess say that she is not afraid of pain for the imperial grandmother?" Chu Zhao comforted Princess Huai'an softly.

There were tears in Princess Huai'an's big black grape eyes, and she whispered: "I'm not afraid, but it really hurts..."

"It's okay. Princess, just bear with it a little longer and get a few more injections." Chu Zhao said.

Princess Huai'an sniffed and nodded.

Chu Zhao asked Yun Qi to continue piercing again.

After the injection, Princess Huai'an burst into tears.

"Yeah, she's bleeding." Chu Zhao took a look at her hair and said to Yun Qi, "Be careful and don't be so harsh."

Yun Qi became more and more cautious, looking at a loss.

"Let the princess take a moment first!" Chu Zhao said, "You should inject these three needles into the Queen Mother first according to their positions."

"Is it possible?" Yun Qi said hesitantly.

Aao added: "What are you afraid of? Don't be timid just because you are the Queen Mother. If you really can't do it, let me do it. Although my medical skills are not as good as yours, I am more courageous than you."

The Queen Mother finally couldn't pretend anymore and suddenly opened her eyes.

"What's wrong? I think I heard a child crying." She looked around pretending to be weak.

"Your Majesty, are you awake?" Your father-in-law was so surprised that he patted his chest and said, "Thank God, thank God..."

Chu Zhao chuckled lightly and said meaningfully: "My dear father-in-law, it is the princess you should thank. There is no point in thanking God."

"..." Both the Queen Mother and your father-in-law were a bit embarrassed, and your father-in-law hurriedly said, "No matter who you thank, as long as the Queen Mother wakes up."

The Queen Mother half sat up while pressing her temples, and asked with concern: "Has King Jingnan entered the palace already?"

"Yes, Queen Mother, the prince is meeting the Holy Master in Chengtian Hall," Chu Zhao said.

The Queen Mother nodded and said hypocritically: "It stands to reason that you and your wife have been apart for several months and finally met each other. The Ai family should let you have a good reunion. However, you see that the Ai family's illness is recurring, and it is really difficult to leave in a short time." If I don’t let you go, or you will continue to suffer and suffer, wait until Aijia’s condition stabilizes before reuniting with King Jingnan.”

Ah!

Chu Zhao sneered in his heart.

It is not easy to stabilize your condition. If you are stabbed to death by a needle, you will no longer have to worry about recurrence of the condition in your life.

"What did the Queen Mother say? My wife came all the way from Yunzhou just to treat the Queen Mother. No matter how important the prince is, he is only one ten thousandth as important as the Queen Mother." Chu Zhao said with a smile.

The Queen Mother was very pleased and leaned over to hold her hand: "The Ai family knows that you are a filial child. The concubines in the palace and the emperor are not as considerate as you."

"..."

Chu Zhao watched her acting calmly and said respectfully: "The Queen Mother is very grateful. It is the duty of a minister to serve the Queen Mother. It's just that I have been in Beijing for many days and have not seen what the palace is like. Now the prince is here, and the Queen Mother Can you allow me two hours of leave, let me go back to the palace with the prince to have a look, sit for a while and then come back, is that good?"

"This..." The Queen Mother was in trouble for a moment.

Just now, He Yunjie asked the young eunuch to send a message, asking her to keep Princess Jingnan in the palace no matter what.

But Princess Jingnan said what she said, wouldn't it be inappropriate for her not to let go at all?

What about Yunjie?

Why doesn't Yunjie come over in person?

The Queen Mother was in a dilemma when she suddenly heard the palace maid guarding outside the palace call "Xiaoge Lao". The next moment, He Yunjie, dressed in a crimson official robe, walked in from the door.

"Yunjie, you came just in time." The Queen Mother said happily, "Ah Zhao said that she wanted to go back to the palace with Prince Jingnan to have a look. How about you go back with her?"
