Time travel, Your Highness Ninth Prince has been rejected from marriage again!

As he spoke, he took out the soup bowl from the food box.

"This is the medicinal diet recipe that I asked the imperial physician for. It is said that it can nourish qi and blood. I made it specially and sent it to Your Majesty for a taste."

Concubine Shu gently opened the soup bowl, and the clear yellow soup allowed one to clearly see the ingredients inside.

It was nothing more than some tonic herbs such as ginseng, wolfberry, and angelica, which could be seen at a glance. When it was first opened, it was still steaming and had a little bit of oil floating on it.

The fragrance drifted to Emperor Yan's nose, causing him to curl his nose and then smile. He picked up the soup bowl and smelled it, then looked at Concubine Shu in front of him.

"Concubine Aicai is really thoughtful. The soup looks good, but..."

Before Emperor Yan finished speaking, his hand, which was supposed to be behind Concubine Shu's back, had already placed it on the back of her neck, pressing her forward tightly, and pouring all the soup in his hand into Concubine Shu's mouth.

When Concubine Shu was first controlled, she was terrified and had no ability to resist. When she realized what Emperor Yan was thinking, she slowly relaxed and drank all the soup from his hand.

Emperor Yan noticed her change, and although he wondered if he had guessed wrong, he did not stop. When there was not a drop of soup left, he threw the soup bowl to the ground.

boom--

The soup bowl fell to the ground and broke into pieces. Emperor Yan threw Concubine Shu to the ground with his backhand.

An Shi stepped forward and handed over the handkerchief. Yan Di took it and wiped the soup left on his hands. His face was full of disgust, as if he had touched something dirty.

Then he lowered his head to look at the embarrassed Concubine Shu on the ground and warned her: "I am in good health. If nothing unexpected happens, I will definitely live longer than you. Don't have any evil thoughts about me. Otherwise, I will not keep you and your family."

Concubine Shu looked up in shock. The burning pain in the back of her neck was still there. Her hand had just pressed on the broken porcelain pieces on the ground, which were now covered in blood. But she seemed to feel nothing and just stared at Emperor Yan in a daze.

All that was in her mind was what he had just said. Her hands slowly tightened, her heart was firm in her choice, and she lowered her head to hide the look in her eyes.

"I understand. For my family, I know what to do."

Emperor Yan was very satisfied with Concubine Shu's obedience and waved his hand to have the person taken away. Only when the person in front of him disappeared and the imperial study was cleaned up again did Emperor Yan prepare to sit back down again.

But before he could sit down, another report came from outside the door: "Your Majesty, Aunt Haiyue wants to see you."

Emperor Yan paused for a moment and sat down again.

"pass".

The door of the imperial study was opened again. Haiyue lowered her head and approached, but did not go too close. She stopped five meters away from Emperor Yan and knelt down to salute.

"Your Majesty, I have met you. Long live Your Majesty."

Emperor Yan raised his eyes and looked at the person who came, with some impatience in his eyes, "Get up, but is there something the Queen Mother needs?"

Haiyue stood up respectfully and said, "Yes, the Empress Dowager's headache has worsened today. She has difficulty sleeping at night and now she has fallen ill. Her condition is very bad."

Emperor Yan frowned and said, "In that case, just find the imperial physician. I don't know how to treat illnesses."

Haiyue's expression remained respectful, "Your Majesty, the Imperial Hospital has examined it, but it was useless.

In the past, the Empress Dowager relied on the Princess's calming incense to sleep well, but recently the incense has run out and the Imperial Hospital is helpless, so the Empress Dowager asked this servant to ask for Your Majesty's mercy.

Emperor Yan understood what the Queen Mother meant. She just wanted to see Qingyun. She didn't plead for Qingyun, nor did she ask him to release her. She just wanted to see her, so he couldn't even find a reason to refuse.

"In that case, let Qingyun go and take a look. It would be best if the recipe was kept so that it would be easier for the imperial physician to research it in the future. After all, we won't be able to see Qingyun again in the future."

Emperor Yan stared at Haiyue who was respectful in front of him, as if he mistook Haiyue for Qingyun. The murderous intent in his eyes and the complacency in his tone were obvious.

Haiyue didn't change at all, she just knelt down respectfully and said, "Your Majesty, I thank you."

Emperor Yan raised his eyes and waved to An Shi, "Go, take her to see Qingyun."

"Yes," An Shi bowed and led Haiyue towards the dungeon in the palace.

But when he arrived at the door of the dungeon, An Shi stopped, glanced at the person guarding the door, and said: "The Queen Mother wants to see Qingyun. I am taking Qingyun to the Cining Palace on the order of His Majesty."

The guards nodded and one of them walked in.

Haiyue stood outside obediently, without looking inside, and without asking why she didn't just go in and bring Qingyun out. When Qingyun came out, she stepped forward and saluted Qingyun.

"Greetings, Princess."

When Qingyun was told that the Queen Mother wanted to see her, she was expecting it, but Haiyue's attitude surprised her.

Although she is now a suspect, what is Emperor Yan's attitude? Her identity has been basically abolished. Even An Shi dare not call her the eldest princess, let alone pay homage.

But Haiyue's attitude did not change at all, just like every time I saw her before.

Qingyun knew that Haiyue's attitude was the same as the Queen Mother's, and she quickly realized that the Queen Mother was on her side.

He reached out and helped Haiyue up, "No need to be so polite, but is the Empress Dowager's headache coming back again?"

"Yes, the people in the Imperial Hospital are helpless, so the Empress Dowager asked me to ask the eldest princess to go over there."

Qingyun nodded and said, "Let's go."

An Shi was pretending to be blind and spoke at the right time: "Miss Qing, please."

He raised his hand and bent down to make a gesture of invitation. At this time, he really didn't know how to address Qingyun, so he could only call her by her original name.

This is the imperial palace. Although the gatekeepers are Yan Siyuan's men, some of the words will inevitably reach Emperor Yan's ears, so he is still extremely cautious. Although the address has changed, the attitude is still respectful, without any neglect.

Qingyun didn't care about these empty formalities, and followed An Shi to the Cining Palace. She felt relieved after not seeing the sun for a long time. She knew that after coming out today, it would be impossible for her to go back.

They arrived at the Cining Palace in silence. An Shi tactfully withdrew, leaving the space for Qingyun and the Queen Mother.

It was still the same door with carved curtains, but the heavy cotton curtains of winter had been replaced with light gauze curtains. After entering the room, I saw the empress dowager who had been waiting for a long time.

The moment she saw the Queen Mother, Qingyun slowly breathed a sigh of relief, her tense body relaxed, and just as she was about to bend down to salute, she was stopped by the Queen Mother.

"Okay, okay, you just came back, you must be feeling unwell, why bother going through all this formality and coming to grandma."

Qingyun stood up straight with her knees still bent, walked to the Queen Mother's couch and sat down, snuggling up to her like a wronged child.

The Queen Mother raised her hand and stroked Qingyun's shoulder, silently comforting her. The kindness and heartache in her eyes were genuine.

"Look at this little face, it's not as round as before. I'm afraid he has suffered a lot."
