In order to hear or even see the Emperor's anger at Lady Shu and her son as soon as possible, the Empress couldn't wait and rushed to the Taiji Palace.
However, Xia Huanyu was not in Taiji Palace. The Empress frowned and asked the eunuch at the gate in a somewhat angry voice, "Your Majesty has already left the morning court, hasn't he? Where is he now? The Meeting Hall?"
The eunuch at the door hesitated for a while. Before he could answer, he saw Lady Xiang coming out from the corner and slowly walking towards the Taiji Palace.
The Empress also saw Lady Xiang, so she concealed her displeasure, raised a dignified and generous smile, and chuckled, "You are also here for the Emperor? His majesty is not here."
Ning Qian smiled and shook her head slowly. "Just now, I met his majesty and Lady Shu in the Imperial Garden. His majesty said that he would go to the Xiang Zhu Palace after dinner in the Shuya Palace and asked me to bring the documents on the imperial table to the Xiang Zhu Palace. His majesty wants to read them later." Then he took out a gold card from his sleeve and showed it to the eunuch at the door.
The Empress narrowed her eyes and recognized that the gold plate was Xia Huanyu's belongings.
The eunuch opened the door. Ning Qian smiled gently and bowed to the Empress. "Then I'll go to get the documents for the Emperor." Then, without waiting for the Empress's reply, she gracefully entered the Taiji Palace. As the head of the imperial household, the Empress was refused to enter the Taiji Palace for two consecutive days. The Empress's eyes were full of indifference. She sneered, turned around and left the Taiji Palace.
When they returned to the Wei Yang Palace, the Empress's eyes were full of scarlet. She sat quietly on the chair with a cup in her hand and closed her eyes for a long time before the scarlet in her eyes faded a little.
"Lady Shu, Lady Xiang..." the Empress murmured to herself and sneered. She suddenly put the teacup on the table heavily.
A maid slowly walked in with a dark green bowl in her hand, in which there was some dark brown juice.
"Your majesty, the medicine is ready today." The maid bowed and put the bowl on the table. The madam beside the Empress quickly went to the side and took a few preserves, putting them on a small plate on the table.
"Your Majesty, you should take this medicine while it is still hot," the madam reminded in a low voice.
The Empress picked up the bowl and put it near her mouth, but suddenly she threw it onto the ground. Everyone in the hall was shocked and hurriedly knelt down, "Your Majesty, please don't be angry."
The Empress closed her eyes, and her smile became more and more desolate. "Take it while it's hot. What's the use of taking it? His majesty hasn't stayed overnight in Wei Yang Palace for so long. How can I get pregnant alone?"
All the maids and madams lowered their heads, pretending not to hear anything. The madam next to the Empress was shocked and waved her hand to ask the other maids to leave the inner hall. "Oh, they are all pregnant. My parents keep asking me when I can get pregnant. Why don't they understand my difficulties? I have a child too! My child was once the Crown Prince! But he's gone now!" The Empress roared desperately.
"Your Majesty, there are ears on the other side of the wall," the madam kept silent for a long time and finally reminded her.
The Empress smiled bitterly and said in a lower voice, "But I'm the Empress...the Empress..."
The madam bit her lips and said softly, "Although you don't have a prince now, you still have a grandson. Besides, your majesty is the head of the imperial household. Any princd of the concubines of lower rank can be taken here for feeding if you like. Lady Hui is under the position of a concubine. If you like her child, you can bring him to the Wei Yang Palace, and then kill Lady Hui secretly. That child will be yours completely."
