Chapter 227 No need for you to worry
Thinking of Master Xiannian and his disciple, she hurriedly said, "Where is that master? Quickly go and ask for two more talismans for me to carry with me."
Just now, a gust of wind blew by as soon as she mentioned "death," which was too strange. She was still scared!
Despite the master performing three rituals and repeatedly assuring her that there was nothing supernatural involved, she was still very uneasy.
This person is leaving soon, so she needs to hurry and ask for a few more talismans, just in case something unexpected happens.
When the personal maid rushed to the room where the master and apprentice were eating, no one was there, but there were several yellow talismans on the table.
They must have gone somewhere else?
She went outside and saw Dongshuang, so she asked, "Where are the master and the others? Where did they go?"
Dongshuang glanced into the room and replied, "Reporting to Granny, I just delivered tea; the two masters are currently having their vegetarian meal."
The old woman was terrified when she heard this! There was no one left in the room! The Empress hadn't even said to release them yet, and she didn't know if anything else was going on. Wouldn't she be furious if the master left?
She carefully wrapped the talismans in a silk handkerchief and put them in her bosom. She then called several palace maids and eunuchs to help her search.
She searched the entire Huaqing Palace but still couldn't find the master and disciple. Having no other choice, she had to dismiss everyone.
When the yellow talisman was presented to Qin Wanyue, the personal maidservant looked around nervously.
Qin Wanyue slammed her teacup down on the table. "Say what you want! There's no one else here!"
The personal maid looked at her, seemingly wanting to say something but hesitating, "Your Majesty..."
"The master has disappeared."
"What! The old monk is gone?!" Qin Wanyue exclaimed in surprise.
The wind was so strange today. She was hoping the old monk would perform a few more rituals, but where did he go?
The personal maid said they had searched everywhere but couldn't find it. Qin Wanyue waved her hand, "Never mind, if we can't find it, we can't find it. It just means that old monk really does have some skill."
She picked up all the yellow talismans on the table and stuffed them into her sleeves.
From now on, she will take it wherever she goes, and she doesn't believe that anything unclean can get close to her.
"Where did the Emperor go after leaving Huaqing Palace?" she asked lazily, leaning back on the chaise longue.
The old woman bowed and lowered her voice, "Your Majesty, His Majesty first sat in the Imperial Garden for about half an incense stick's time, and then went to Renshou Palace."
"Hmph," Qin Wanyue snorted coldly.
She said that this man was just dealing with some damn political affairs! He was just going through the motions.
However, as long as it's not to other women's palaces, she always finds a way to get people to come over.
When Jun Shuyan arrived at Renshou Palace, Shen Sangning and others were also there. Empress Dowager Xiao, contrary to her usual behavior, became very kind and gentle to him.
"Your Majesty, what brings you to my humble abode? Ningning just arrived and you've already caught up with her."
Her gaze swept over the two of them, intentionally or unintentionally. After Shen Sangning stood up and bowed, she didn't even glance at Jun Shuyan.
Jun Shuyan, however, kept his eyes on Shen Sangning, it was unclear whether he was looking at her or at Yaoyao in her arms.
Empress Dowager Xiao coughed lightly and then asked, "I heard that Consort Qin summoned the imperial physician today. How is she?"
Actually, she didn't care about Qin Wanyue's condition at all; she was just curious how Qin Wanyue had managed to become the head of the Imperial Medical Academy.
Could it be that they were truly terrified by the filthy rumors circulating in the palace?
Didn't they say that the monk was indeed a highly skilled monk who had already resolved the situation?
Jun Shuyan only snapped out of his reverie when he heard her question. "I just had some free time, so I came to visit my grandmother."
"Wanyue is a little weak from all the exertion, thank you for your concern, Grandmother."
Empress Dowager Xiao nodded gently, took Yaoyao from Shen Sangning's arms, and said with a smile, "I am very happy just looking at Yaoyao."
"That Chun-ge'er is not bad either!"
The two people in the room besides her didn't say a word. Empress Dowager Xiao rolled her eyes, patted Yao Yao, and said, "The little princess will grow up so fast. You two are still young."
"Hurry up and have another son. If Grandmother can still hold him, she can die in peace."
Shen Sangning frowned, her tone tinged with reproach, "Grandmother, what are you saying? At your advanced age, please don't spout such nonsense."
Empress Dowager Xiao gently slapped her mouth. "Ningning, don't be angry. Grandmother just wants to hold the little prince."
Shen Sangning glanced at her but said nothing more, her gaze falling on Jun Shuyan before shifting away.
The old lady truly wanted to hold her great-grandchild, and she was also genuinely worried about her.
She was already used to the rumors in the palace about her inability to give birth to a son, and some people had even started to suggest that Cheng Yan'er's Chun'er be raised in her care.
She laughed. Cheng Yan'er was only acting this way because of her child.
If it weren't for the fact that Chun'er's face was scratched by Qin Wanyue, she would definitely still be the same unassuming and unambitious person she always was.
If Chun'er were to be taken away, she wouldn't doubt that the woman wouldn't go crazy.
Moreover, she didn't want to raise other people's sons either. The other princes were so young that they practically had "I want to be emperor" written all over their faces, which was a real headache.
Jun Shuyan is still young and can have many sons with other concubines. There will always be one suitable to be the crown prince.
"We'll discuss this further; Grandmother, please don't worry about it."
She sat far away from Jun Shuyan, as if he were some kind of filthy thing.
His father had been transferred far away and hadn't ordered him to return to the capital, leaving the Right Chancellor to act ruthlessly and greedily in the court.
She was afraid that the prince she gave birth to would be just like this man, so she thought it better not to have him at all to avoid worrying.
Jun Shuyan was displeased. As an emperor, how could this woman refuse him time and time again? Where was his face to be?
So many women in the harem are thinking of him; this woman is far too ungrateful.
"Grandma, please don't worry about this. Just focus on taking care of yourself."
He glared at Shen Sangning fiercely, as if in a fit of pique.
Shen Sangning pretended not to see it, stood up and bowed slightly, "Grandmother, I have other matters to attend to in the palace, so I will take my leave now."
"Your Majesty, I shall take my leave."
She didn't give Jun Shuyan a second glance, took Yaoyao from Empress Dowager Xiao and left.
Empress Dowager Xiao sighed softly when she saw that the child didn't even bother to turn her head. This child was both stubborn and strong-willed.
If she could give birth to a legitimate son, how much less gossip would there be? What empress is constantly being pointed at and told that she can't produce a son?
Even if the Empress could tolerate it, the Empress Dowager couldn't. She just hoped that one day the child would come to his senses and accept the Emperor.
After Shen Sangning left, she and Jun Shuyan had nothing to say to each other. The emperor had only come to see her about the tiger tally.
"I am tired. If Your Majesty has nothing else, you may return."
Jun Shuyan's gaze deepened as he looked at her, a slight smile playing on his lips. "I have done what Grandmother asked of me. Grandmother, don't forget to give me the things."
Although he released Gu Wenhuai, the old man had no freedom at all. He didn't believe that with so many people watching, Helian Yue's men could still find a loophole.
If Helian Yue dares to return to the capital, he will definitely be able to take his life.
Empress Dowager Xiao pinched the bridge of her nose. "Go back! I'll have someone send it to the Emperor later."
Jun Shuyan originally wanted to say that he had taken it, but seeing that she had already closed her eyes, he didn't say anything more. He had already waited for so long, so what difference would a little more time make?
