Chapter 295: It's Never as Good as the First Time

poured it What are you talking about" She was genuinely confused, after all, she was far away in Xiushan County and didn't know what was happening in Beijing. 。Looking at Ye Wen's demeanor, he f...Empress Li went to Yan Huagong and knelt, clearly understanding that Ye Wen relied on someone at night.

Li's ancestral grave was in such a state of disrepair, so she had reason to suspect that Mr. He had also provoked Ye Wenyan. 。The result turned out to be surprisingly true. It seemed that after the 15th day of the twelfth lunar month, the Left Minister kept bringing up the matter of Ye Wuyan's disappearance outside the city in the court, ruining her reputation. 。When Bao Chan told her this story, even Li Taizi (Empress Dowager) couldn't help but laugh. 。... the collapse of He's family, Li's family would not be an exception. This means there must be problems with the land in Li County. 。Besides, Kyoto also experienced a land dragon upheaval. She could attribute it to the poor harvest, causing geological disasters in multiple locations. The Li family would have no reason to suspect her anymore. 。The Empress Dowager Li was delighted. Bao Chan, seeing her happiness, let out a sigh of relief and hurried to serve her the freshly cooked snow lotus soup. 。However, before she could even use up two mouthfuls, a palace attendant entered and announced, "Your Majesty, the Prince Regent has arrived." 。The Empress Dowager, upon hearing this, frowned. "I haven't summoned him into the palace. What could he possibly want Has his injury healed"The eunuch who had come to deliver the message replied, "It seems he is fine. He walks quite briskly." 。" Paochan whispered in her ear, "The people from the Prince Regent's Mansion got hold of that kind of pill that Night Fourth Sister had." 。"

Li Taizi suddenly understood. No wonder she recovered so quickly; it turned out that she had secretly been benefiting from Ye Wen's night warmth." 。But in that case, if the Regent had already recovered, wouldn't he have been intentionally avoiding her these past few days "If he doesn't want to see me, there's no need to come to Yong'an Palace anymore." 。"Go tell the Regent to come back!" The Empress Dowager waved her hand impatiently, dismissing the palace maid. 。Unfortunately, her words came too late. The Regent King had already walked in on his own accord. 。In a plain grey robe, he still looked like a refined scholar. 。It was almost noon, the sun shining brightly. When the Regent King walked in, a ray of sunlight followed him, illuminating the jade bricks of Yong'an Palace, just like many years ago when Li Xiaohan first saw this man, a scene that felt strangely familiar. 。 She lived in the Li family back then, as their eldest legitimate daughter. 。Now she resides in the Royal Palace, as the Imperial Dowager Empress of the Western Palace. 。My humble opinion is, I humbly present myself before the Empress Dowager. 。The Regent bowed to her, kneeling on the ground, with utmost respect. 。Empress Dowager Li gave Baochan a knowing look, and Baochan then led the maidservants away. 。The palace gate was shut, blocking out all the sunlight from outside, and the interior of the hall grew dark. 。The incense in the burner filled the room with smoke. Once the door was closed, you could see it swirling and hear the strong scent, which was a bit overpowering. 。Even counting didn't help. The Empress Dowager, in her own right, stood up and walked to the incense burner. She opened the lid and broke the incense with the tongs placed beside it. 。As the incense stick came to an end, falling into the ash tray and struggling to burn for a while before finally extinguishing completely, Quanji was satisfied. He closed the lid and turned to Empress Li, saying: "No more smoke..." 。“

Empress Li remained silent. It seemed that no words were needed from her; Quanji simply turned back, looked at her for a moment, then pulled a chair over and sat beside her, even calling out, “Xiaohan” 。"

Finally, Empress Dowager Li could no longer stay silent. She spoke back to him, saying: "This is the Imperial Palace, you should address me as Empress Dowager." 。"Here is Yong'an Palace, the palace gate is closed, and there is no one inside." 。"Without waiting for her to ask, Quan Ji proactively began explaining, 'It's not that I haven't come to see you sooner. I really wanted to use my injury as an excuse to stay away from the emperor for a while, giving him time to handle this mess himself.'" 。“What’s the result then” Empress Dowager Li laughed, “This old woman has heard that the Emperor handled things very well. Now people in Lin'an, both inside and outside the city walls, are praising him. Even with such a great disaster, the Emperor remained calm and composed, personally going to plead with Ye Si for medicine. An emperor like this should ascend the throne sooner rather than later, he will definitely govern Northern Qi better than before.” 。"Is this your laundry" Yuan Ji also laughed, "So I'm here in the palace now! I can go to court tomorrow." 。No matter what happens outside, the Northern Qi has a system in place. The emperor cannot get married before the age of eighteen and cannot take power. So no matter how he tries to stir things up, this court still relies on mylding onto the Regent King's heart Can you please return it to him quickly I think he's in so much pain.” 。"You've been digging so deep that you almost made me feel sorry for you, I suppose that count...
