Male supporting role is not a stepping stone

The queen rolled her eyes at her son, quickly adjusted her mood, suppressed the joy that should not be shown to others, and returned to the sad and sad look that she should have.

Before everything is settled, she won't do anything to make it true. Anyway, there will be plenty of time for her to be happy in the future.

The speed of this face change is really amazing!

Yang Yan was amazed, it seems that her acting skills still need to be improved!

Now that he had obtained the emperor's consent, he began to implement his plan, and the Xianzhuang Palace was already surrounded by his confidants.

All the imperial doctors, palace maids and eunuchs were not allowed to leave during this period, and were not allowed to hand out needles or threads. Even picking up food and clothing were under the strict supervision of the East Palace guards.

It must be done so that no one can tell the real news, and what outsiders can find out is just what he wants people to know.

Shaoyangji had been anxiously waiting for news in the palace since he arranged for someone to take action. Although the emperor did fall ill as planned, the news came from outsiders, which made him never feel at ease.

Two more days passed, and there was still no news about Li Xiuyuan and the spies who had finally inserted themselves into Xianzhuang Palace. He couldn't sit still. After thinking about it, the only one who could help him now was probably Rong Yinhua.

Although he did not intend to involve her in this matter at first, for the smooth implementation of the plan, he could not help but worry so much now. Without hesitation, Shaoyangji sneaked into Rong Mansion again.

With such a big thing happening in the palace, Grandpa Rong and Father Rong were all focused on political affairs and had no time to discipline their granddaughter/daughter. When they heard Rong Yinhua said that he wanted to visit the prince and queen in the palace, they pondered. I agreed immediately.

Now is the critical period of the transition between the old and the new. Their relationship with the prince is too close, so it is hard to take any big action. Otherwise, if the emperor recovers from his illness, not only the Rong Mansion will be settled by the Queen, but also Even the prince may be implicated.

It wouldn't be a problem for Rong Yinhua to enter the palace. Firstly, she was just a little girl, and she was not interested in spying on the palace. Secondly, she had often been to the palace since she was a child. She had a deep relationship with the queen and the prince, so she went to express her condolences. Very much so.

"You can go and talk to your Majesty. Just give her some comfort. Don't do anything unnecessary." Before leaving, Rong's father warned with some worry, "Don't take any initiative regarding matters in the palace, especially those involving Your Majesty." Inquire, just listen to whatever the queen says."

"My daughter understands." Rong Yinhua replied obediently.

"Also," Rong's father said sternly, "whether you are treating your empress or your highness, remember to be respectful and humble, and never act like a little girl to make yourself petty."

She has always been careful to flatter the mother and son, right? This is not enough. Does her father have to be satisfied if she kneels on the ground and licks their toes?

Rong Yinhua felt extremely wronged in her heart, but she didn't dare to show it on her face. Brother Ji's early attack must have been because of her. Now that she was finally able to help him, she didn't want to mess it up because of a temporary blockage.

"My daughter knows." She said with a sigh of relief, thinking that they wouldn't be proud for long anyway, so she should just endure it for the time being, and she would get it back sooner or later.

Father Rong didn't expect his daughter to have so many thoughts. Seeing that she looked well-behaved and sensible on the outside, he thought that the discipline these days had worked. He nodded with relief and finally watched her get on the sedan with peace of mind.

The queen has been staying in Xian'an Palace to attend to Emperor Zhengrui's illness these days. Of course, as a noble queen of a country, her duties are not to give medicines and rub the body with her own hands. These are done by the palace maids. She only It's just a matter of talking to the side.

The palace affairs were left to the imperial concubine to take care of, and there were no other chores to bother her. Not only did she not look haggard after a few days, her face was even more rosy. She needed to put on a little more powder every day when dressing up to avoid others noticing.

Hearing that her good niece had come to visit, the queen curled her lips almost imperceptibly and asked her to wait in the side hall. She slowly ordered the maids to serve the emperor well. It took more than an hour before she finished her explanation. Everyone waited carefully, Shi Shiran got up and went to see her.

Rong Yinhua had long been impatient with waiting. He was walking back and forth in the room, but his footsteps were getting faster and heavier. He wanted to step on the queen as if she were a stone slab on the ground.

However, the situation was stronger now. The moment she saw the queen, she could only suppress her unwillingness and obediently stepped forward to pay her respects: "Yin'er has met my aunt."

Although her heart was filled with hatred for her, the Queen's face did not move at all. After sitting down, she remained as before, cordially beckoning her to come closer, and asked with a loving look on her face: "Good boy, why are you here?"

"Yin'er is worried about my aunt," Rong Yinhua said sadly, sitting on the embroidery pier brought by the palace maid, leaning on her knees, looking up at her, "I heard that my aunt has been attending to His Majesty's health these days. All tired and thin.”

"My aunt has loved you all these years in vain," the queen "forced" a smile, touched her head happily, and said, "Now that you are a big girl, you know that you feel sorry for your aunt."

"So Auntie, you must take good care of yourself." Rong Yinhua's patience had long been exhausted. After a few perfunctory words, he couldn't wait to ask what he wanted to know most now, "I wonder how your Majesty's health is and what will happen to him before he recovers? "

The Queen was startled, then waved back and said, "Do you want to ask this yourself, or was someone asking you to ask it?"

Rong Yinhua was a little panicked and said hurriedly: "My grandfather and father are also worried about my aunt!"

"It turns out it's my father and brother," the queen sighed, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid he's not doing well!"

A hint of surprise flashed in Rong Yinhua's eyes, but she quickly covered it up and put on an anxious look on her face: "How could this happen? Your Majesty is in the prime of life, it's just a minor illness, why can't he get better? "

"Your Majesty's illness came on suddenly and very strangely. Even the doctors at the Imperial Hospital couldn't figure out what the illness was. Now His Majesty has been in a coma for four days. He can only rely on some soup every day to hang up. I'm afraid he won't last more than a few days. ”

The queen's expression was so sad that no one could tell there was any hint of drama, at least not by Rong Yinhua.

Her heart was beating wildly. Although she had known that the emperor was about to die, now that she heard it with her own ears, she had a sense of reality. Brother Ji would soon ascend to the throne, and she would soon be the queen!

Suppressing the joy in her heart to avoid being seen by others, Rong Yinhua tried her best to calm down her tone: "Auntie, please don't worry too much. Your majesty has his own destiny. Maybe he will be fine soon." ?”

"I hope it is true as you said!" The queen sighed again and warned, "The palace has temporarily blocked this matter and dare not spread it outside, for fear of causing commotion. You must remember to only tell your grandfather and father, and do not say a word to outsiders. Can’t mention it.”

"Don't worry, aunt, Yin'er will keep her mouth shut tightly!" Rong Yinhua quickly assured.

Now that she had achieved the purpose of her trip, she was eager to pass the news to Ai Lang. She suppressed the impatience in her heart and said a few thoughtful words, and then proposed to leave on the pretext of going back early to reassure her grandfather and father. .

The queen no longer wanted to make excuses with her, so of course she agreed smoothly. Seeing her hurriedly leaving, she couldn't help but sneered in her heart: What a good white-eyed wolf!

Her father knew that in order not to arouse the emperor's taboo, he would never let anyone come to inquire about the information under such circumstances, so it was self-evident for whom this woman came.

It's a pity that they think they have a plan, but it's not sure who is planning who!

After Rong Yinhua returned home, she naturally would not tell her grandfather and father the news about the emperor. Before leaving, they repeatedly told her not to pry. If they found out, instead of praising her, they might be embarrassed. She would not You are asking for trouble!

She just said that the empress looked a little haggard, but she was in good spirits. She brushed them off and excused herself to go back to her room to rest, where Shaoyangji was already waiting for her.

"How's it going?" As soon as he saw her, Shaoyangji hurriedly stepped forward to ask.

Rong Yinhua could no longer suppress the joy in her heart and told him what the queen said with a smile.

Shaoyangji was overjoyed when he heard this, but he still suppressed it. He repeatedly asked her to describe the tone and demeanor of the queen's words at that time, and found nothing wrong. Only then was he finally able to confirm that his good father was really dying!

As for why Yin'er was so happy, he didn't think much about it. He just assumed that it was because she heard what the queen said and felt that the emperor's death would be beneficial to the Rong family after the prince came to power.

It's a pity that what the queen and the others thought would never come true, and Yin'er's glory could only be given by him.

"Thank you Yin'er," he couldn't help but hug her tightly and said, "You really helped me a lot this time!"

Rong Yinhua was actually very clear in his heart, but he had a confused look on his face: "Ah? What are you talking about? Brother Ji, how have I helped you?"

Worried that he would scare her if he said it, Shaoyangji still endured what he was about to say, scratched her nose and said: "You will know later, now I have something to do, you just wait at home obediently." Me, don’t run around, I will come to marry you soon.”

"Well, I'll wait for you, brother Ji." Rong Yinhua lowered his head shyly, with an ugly expression on his face where he couldn't see it.

She didn't understand why Shaoyangji hadn't told her about his rebellion until now. Could it be that she had done so much for him and still couldn't get his trust?

This is not good news. What she wants is to be his only woman, a noble queen of a country, and even the future queen mother.

If he doesn't trust her because she is the daughter of the Rong family, then there are variables in everything.

It seemed that something had to be done so that he would know that his heart was completely tied to him, and nothing about the Rong family or the prince was as important as him.
