Chapter 381.4: Leaving Unsettled, Illness

After sending away Luo Old Madam, Jing Wan stuck her two hands at her waist, ‘menacingly’ opening her mouth, “Properly fess up, what all did grandmother say to you?”

Li Hong Yuan seductively smiled, using the tip of his finger to brush across the side of Jing Wan’s face, lowering the tone of his voice, “What does Wan Wan think your grandmother would say to me?”

Jing Wan felt that her own ears were about to get pregnant. Bastard, using this move again. Every time it was all like this, yet every time she was all unable to resist. She pushed away his hand, “Not gonna bother with you.” Jing Wan turned and left. What her own grandmother would say, for the most part, she was able to guess.

Li Hong Yuan rubbed his fingers as if reminiscing, slowly following behind Jing Wan with a smile on his face.

What the outcome was on Noble Consort Su’s side, Li Hong Yuan knew. Luo Old Madam’s battle strength, he also believed in, and because of him, Noble Consort Su won’t get involved. But, on the Empress’s side, this definitely won’t be the end. Even if knowing that Jing Wan’s fault in this matter was also just that, her attitude won’t be like Noble Consort Su, because this concerned her face as well as position. No matter how capable she was at enduring, this matter, she cannot endure. If she were to not do anything at all, then she will only get mocked by the imperial concubines, believing that she wasn’t that capable after all. An Empress that wasn’t valued by the Emperor, if to then lose her authority and prestige in the inner palace, what kind of consequences there will be, one can well imagine. That’s why, letting the Empress fall seriously ill is not only for the sake of breaking Kang Qinwang’s arm, but also for the sake of Jing Wan. Empress Sun was too skilled. When seriously scheming something, one may not necessarily be able to guard against completely.

Just when Kang Qinwang heir’s condition stabilized and just need to take medicine to fully recover, the palace suddenly broke out with news of the Empress vomiting blood and falling unconscious, the illness coming in a torrential rush……………

Even Kang Qinwang heir’s injury was all able to cause quite a big disturbance, for the Empress to suddenly fall ill, this naturally made people even more alarmed.

Especially the people of Kang Qinwang’s faction, in a certain sense, Kang Qinwang may be the core, but the Empress was their pillar. Just based on Kang Qinwang’s temper and abilities, if not for the Empress, the amount of people supporting him would steeply decline by at least two-thirds. It can be said, without the Empress, Kang Qinwang definitely would be done for.

Kang Qinwang’s awareness towards this bit perhaps wasn’t very clear, but he still vaguely understood. That’s why, he instantly panicked, tossing everything else aside, and hastily rushed towards the palace.

The two three imperial physicians that were originally still staying at Kang Qinwang Manor, this while, also entered the palace. As for Gong Jiu, no one asked him to come along. After all, the imperial palace wasn’t an ordinary place. Someone of his status naturally can’t casually enter. Moreover, even if going, it should still be Li Hong Yuan bringing him along, not Kang Qinwang, and further not the imperial physicians.

Because Yu boy just needed to continue taking medicine, Gong Jiu returned to Jin Qinwang Manor.

Li Hong Yuan was idly flipping through a book, letting Gong Jiu make preparations, and afterwards, enter the palace with him.

Gong Jiu let out a response.

The ones that don’t wish for the Empress to meet with mishap weren’t just the people of Kang Qinwang’s faction. This also included Noble Consort Su and them.

With the Empress collapsing, the balance in the inner palace will be broken. There won’t be another person that can contend against Noble Consort Su. The older Le Cheng Emperor gets, the heavier his paranoia will grow, and the seat under his butt, he further didn’t want to yield out, so without a doubt, he won’t ignore this kind of situation. And to want to reestablish balance, that was just letting Noble Consort Su also collapse.

The other imperial concubines were unable to make out the stakes in this matter, similarly assuming that without the Empress, Noble Consort Su will solely grow in power, having plenty of time and energy, and thus they will only be even more miserable.

That’s why, there truly weren’t anyone that wished for the Empress to meet with mishap at this time.

Just, when Jing Wan looked to Li Hong Yuan again, her eyes carried a bit of admiration. To just let the Empress fall ill with his words, this ability……………

After appropriately putting everything in order, they slowly entered the palace, and actually more or less arrived at the same time as the other grown princes.

Just, as the focus of conversation during this period of time, Jing Wan naturally attracted quite a bit of attention, yet Jing Wan herself was like an uninvolved party.

Quite a few people inwardly thought to themselves, just this composure was already impressive.

As the mother of a country, many people naturally rushed over first thing, and even more people wanted to come but were unable to.

As such, when Jing Wan and them arrived outside Kunyi Palace, the residents of the palace that were able to have a place were all present. Regardless of what they were thinking inside, on the surface, they all revealed either genuine or fake worry. Some even used their handkerchief the press the corner of their eyes from time to time.

Jing Wan quietly followed by Li Hong Yuan’s side. In any case, this while, they won’t be able to meet with the Empress, so they just need to wait outside. As for how long, and whether or not they’ll be able to see the person, this will all depend on the situation. As for whether or not they, these ‘daughter-in-laws’, need to serve by the bedside, this will have to depend on Le Cheng Emperor’s intention. However, under normal circumstances, even if the Empress is awake, he most likely won’t do this kind of thing that will offend others.

Noble Consort Su saw them as soon as they entered, even somewhat impatiently going forward, “Yuan’er……………”

“Greetings consort mother.” Jing Wan greeted her along with Li Hong Yuan.

“Quickly rise.” Noble Consort Su reached out, but probably recalling the current setting, in the end, she just modestly lifted her hand.

Noble Consort Su studied Li Hong Yuan. That appearance was like as if having become ill from longing.

Li Hong Yuan lightly furrowed his brows, “Consort mother’s complexion isn’t too well, is your body unwell? Have you invited the imperial physician over for a look? What medicine are you taking?”

Li Hong Yuan’s concern made Noble Consort Su nearly shed tears, “No, consort mother is quite well. Yuan’er doesn’t need to worry.”

“This son has brought along the manor doctor as well. It’s best to let him take consort mother’s pulse. As such, this son can also rest assured.”

“Alright, all listen to you.” Noble Consort Su rather wanted to mention the unpleasant matter between them previously, just when the words reached her lips, they got swallowed back again, changing to a relatively tactful way of wording it, “Just, Yuan’er hasn’t entered the palace to see consort mother in some time.”

“This is this son’s fault. Lately this son has been a bit busy, but this son is already done being busy, so can enter the palace to see consort mother at any time. Whenever consort mother wants to see this son, just let someone come inform this son.” The underlying meaning in this couldn’t be more obvious.

With her son no longer avoiding her, Noble Consort Su naturally was happy, but she was also very clear, barriers already exist now, and afraid can’t be erased. However, Noble Consort Su didn’t have the courage to touch and uncover the wound, because she wasn’t sure whether, after uncovering the wound, the wound will heal little by little, or worsen to an even more serious degree. That’s why she can only maintain the current state.

Shortly after, Noble Consort Su pulled Li Hong Yuan to idly chat, and perhaps because of Li Hong Yuan shielding Jing Wan, while clearly not having any good feelings towards Jing Wan, for the sake of her son, she still said a few words to her. Jing Wan responded naturally, and as for the matter between her and Noble Consort Su, heheh, who would really care about the true relationship between them.

And Noble Consort Su discovered, when she spoke with Jing Wan, the air around this son clearly softened a little. In her eyes, this son still hoped for their relationship as mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to be able to be harmonious. Thus, enduring the unpleasantness inside, she idly chatted with Jing Wan some more.

Jing Wan took it all in with her eyes, but understood in her heart. Getting grasped in her son’s hand, and can even be said to be toyed with in the palm, truthfully speaking, Noble Consort Su, this consort mother, to have reached this stage, was actually quite miserable and sullen. But, Jing Wan didn’t really sympathize with her. Can only say, Noble Consort Su was just reaping what she sowed. Either wholeheartedly be good to him, or just handle everything in a strictly businesslike manner and not put in personal feelings, yet she just had to choose the middle ground. That’s why, regardless of what kind of fruit is produced, she all needed to swallow herself.

The people paying attention to them weren’t in the minority. The one with the most thoughts among them was probably just Li Hong Ming.

Through this matter this time, he roughly understood one thing, his own consort mother had him treated as an heir, while having Li Hong Yuan treated as a son. Between these two, there naturally was differences. Moreover, this disparity sometimes was even very big. In the past he would resent out of jealousy, but from now on, he will work hard to have his mentality set straight. Li Hong Yuan in the end did help him out, so what he needed to thank him for, he still needed to thank. Previously he didn’t have the opportunity, so it was best to quickly handle it.

Rui Wangfei had everything all taken in, lowering her head and restraining her eyes, not uttering a word.

“Greetings to imperial father.”

These words startled the others. Shortly after, they all saw Le Cheng Emperor come out from the Empress’s resting chamber, successively bowing to greet.

Le Cheng Emperor indifferently nodded, “You can all rise.” Afterwards, his gaze landed on Li Hong Yuan, “Old six, where’s the manor doctor from your manor, let him enter the palace to examine the Empress.”

In any case, Gong Jiu’s medical skills, because of Kang Qinwang’s heir, has already been shown off once, receiving the imperial physicians acknowledgement, so naturally no one would say anything at this time.

“When this son entered the palace, one just had the person brought along. At this time, he’s right outside the hall.”

“You have heart. ———-Summon the person in.”
