TV Series: When the Villain Chooses to Stand by

Chapter 142 Yixiu 11

After recuperating, Concubine Hua returned to everyone's attention.

When they paid their respects again, everyone was surprised to find that Concubine Hua was very different from before after a serious illness.

The whole person has become much calmer.

Concubine Cao noticed something was wrong at the first moment, and Concubine Hua was more serious when she saluted the Queen today.

Concubine Qi said sarcastically that Zhen Huan was valued by the emperor. If it were in the past, there would be no need for Concubine Qi to speak, because Concubine Hua would have let them know who was the big and small prince long ago.

How could it be like today, where not even a sound was made, as if Zhen Huan and the others didn't exist.

Apart from Concubine Hua, the one who was most affected was Concubine Li.

She really wanted to embarrass the newcomer, but she was not brave enough to cause trouble. She looked at Hua Fei frequently, hoping that she would take action, but all she got in response was Hua Fei's calmness.

There's nothing I can do but say a few sour words. The lethality of this idea is not something to be feared at all.

Hua Fei's excessive silence surprised both the Emperor and the Empress Dowager.

The two of them were already feeling guilty and were afraid that Concubine Hua would find out something.

The emperor frequently went to the Yiku Palace, and the familiar fragrance still lingered throughout the house. It was obvious that it was still in long-term use, and the emperor finally felt relieved.

He ordered the imperial physician to take good care of Concubine Hua. With this excuse, it was natural for him to dote on Zhen Huan, and he wanted to make up for all his previous longing for Chun Yuan on her.

Both the Queen and Concubine Hua were in poor health, and neither could pose a threat to his Wanwan.

On the other side, the Queen Mother called Yixiu over.

"The Queen is different now. It would be best if you could let it go. The dead are gone, but life must go on. You should take good care of the prince and be a good Queen."

The Queen Mother was lying sick in bed, and she was very pleased to see her niece.

Over the years, I have watched the Queen go deeper and deeper into a dead end, and I can't forget the loss of my child.

The Queen Mother was anxious but there was nothing she could do. She had done all the persuasion she needed to give.

The emperor had no love for the queen, and the queen had long lost the ability to bear an heir.

She no longer wanted to care about what happened in the past. She only hoped that Yixiu could hold on to her position as queen and maintain the glory of the Ulanara family.

The son is also her biological son. No matter how much she dislikes him, she cannot bear to see the emperor's offspring die.

Yixiu has very complicated feelings towards the Queen Mother. She is both the perpetrator and the victim, but it cannot be denied that she has always stood on her side.

Whatever the reason, being sheltered is a fact.

"What the Empress Dowager said is true. I was obsessed with something before and had frequent dreams recently. I am only now slowly coming to terms with it."

"That's good. The harem has been very stable recently. You've done a great job."

When mentioning the eldest prince who was not brought up, the empress dowager couldn't help but sigh.

They had planned everything. That child had the blood of the Ulanara family and was the best heir.

But no one expected that in the end, everything would be in vain and not a single one would be saved.

"Thanks to the Empress Dowager's guidance, the new sisters are very much liked by the Emperor. Concubine Qi and the others are also very well behaved, and the sisters get along quite well."

The Queen Mother lowered her eyes and smiled, then glanced at Yixiu meaningfully, "What about Concubine Hua?"

"The Nian family was very powerful in the previous dynasty. You and I both know what kind of personality Concubine Hua had in the past. The Emperor has always doted on her for many reasons."

"She has been given the power to assist in the management of the six palaces. This is just a minor problem caused by jealousy of a newcomer to the palace. The Queen won't seriously think that Concubine Hua has changed her personality, right?"

Yixiu avoided the Empress Dowager's gaze and said perfunctorily, "So...what does the Empress Dowager mean?"

"Pay close attention to Concubine Hua's attitude and see if she knows anything. Back then, Ai Jia and the Emperor were wronged by her, but for the sake of the country, they had no choice but to do everything."

"There are some things that Hua Fei must never know."

Faced with the Empress Dowager's persuasion, Yixiu did not respond. She slowly swallowed the last bite of the Eight Treasures Cake, and picked up the tea beside her to drink.

As expected of the Queen Mother, she is a great cook in the kitchen.

The Queen Mother looked at the Queen so casually moving her fingertips, but in the end she said nothing and just watched her movements quietly.

"Even if they knew, what would happen? Are the Empress Dowager and the Emperor going to try to make Concubine Hua disappear?"

Zhuxi, who was serving on the side, took a breath and quickly looked around to make sure that there were no outsiders around. Only then did his brows relax.

"you?"

"Is what I said wrong? Since you know that you have wronged Concubine Hua in the past, why did you continue? The country and the people? The Empress Dowager...why? You know better than anyone else."

"When did you meet Concubine Hua...?"

Yixiu reached out and placed the empress dowager's trembling arm under the quilt, pretending to be puzzled and asked, "How is it with Concubine Hua?"

"It was just a big dream. I feel that nothing matters anymore. I have let go of Honghui's untimely death. Corresponding to this is my obsession with the emperor."

"Isn't this the scene you've been hoping to see most in years?"

"Queen, I can't believe you have no fighting spirit at all. Where's the honor of your family? Have you always put it last?"

The Queen Mother's chest heaved violently, and she was obviously unable to accept such a thing.

She hoped that the queen would consider the overall situation and not let the queen hand over her power to others.

Zhu Xi hurried forward and gently stroked the Queen Mother's chest, "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother is doing this for your own good. You must not be angry."

"Madam, I have finally come to my senses, but I still have something to advise you."

"I finally won the harem dispute and received the honor of the empress dowager. There are some things that I shouldn't get involved in too much. I should just enjoy life. Is this the glory of the Ulanara family?"

"What does it have to do with you and me? Are all the men in the family extinct?"

The Queen Mother slammed her right hand on the edge of the bed and couldn't help but yell, "How outrageous!!!"

Yixiu was not frightened. After observing to make sure the Queen Mother was alright, she leaned forward and continued, "What I said was wrong. You, the Queen Mother, are here."

"For all the men in the Ulanara clan who have some ambition, no one will dare to steal their credit. Isn't this the greatest fairness?"

The Queen Mother stared at Yixiu with wide eyes, her body slumped uncontrollably, and she leaned back and fell on Zhuxi.

She was burned by the resentment and unwillingness in Yixiu's eyes, and for a moment she didn't dare to look at him.

He murmured, "That's not the case. We have received the honor of our family, so we should protect it..."

"Wake up, will you? Are we the biggest beneficiaries?"

Seeing that the Queen Mother was frightened, Yixiu straightened up and stood up, "Please remember, Queen Mother, I am the Queen, but not the Queen of the Ulanara family."

Unable to bear Zhuxi's pleading gaze, Yixiu turned and left after she finished speaking, completely ignoring what the people behind her would think.
