Zhu Yixiu is reborn in Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace and single-handedly kills her way throug

Chapter 139

In Jin Yuyan's eyes, Su Lujun is the person who is most easily instigated in the backyard of the Man Palace, except for Gao Xiyue.

Now she no longer has any trust in Gao Xiyue. If she wants to stir up conflict in the backyard of the palace, the only person in front of her is the one.

Sure enough, Su Lujun never let her down.

"Fujin took great care of me when she was alive. Now that she's gone, I naturally can't let anyone handle this funeral hastily. My sister is right. I have to ask about this matter."

A hidden smile flashed across Jin Yuyan's lips, and she stood up and said, "Yes, but I'm pregnant now, so I can't be too tired. How about I accompany you on this trip?"

"This is the best."

...

Regardless of what was happening in the backyard of the palace, Hongli had not slept for almost two days in the Yangxin Palace.

Wang Qin entered the room holding a bowl of Tremella fuciformis soup and placed it before Hongli. "Your Majesty, you have been busy with the affairs of the previous dynasty these past two days and have hardly slept a wink. Your health is the most important thing. Why don't you rest for a while?"

Hongli didn't even raise his head. "Don't make any noise!"

Wang Qin chuckled awkwardly, took a step back silently, reached out to pick up the ink pestle, and said nothing more.

After a moment, Hongli raised his head from the memorial and asked, "How is the situation in the mansion?"

Wang Qin bowed and said, "Your Highness, with Concubine Qing in charge of all matters in the mansion, everything is stable. However, I heard that although Master Su is pregnant, she has been busy taking care of Concubine Qing's funeral and has been staying at the Qionghua Courtyard for two consecutive days."

Reaching out to pick up the bowl, Hongli stirred the soup in the bowl and said, "She is thoughtful, but having an heir is more important. Tell someone to send a message back home, asking Su to take good care of the baby."

Wang Qin's expression changed slightly, and he quickly responded, "Yes, I understand."

"Has the Queen Mother sent any message in the past two days?"

"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager hasn't sent a message to the Yangxin Palace, but she has sent a verbal order to the Qiandi Residence, instructing Concubine Qing not to neglect the funeral rites for Concubine Fu because of the late emperor's affairs. Everything must be done according to the rules and there must be no slacking."

A look of satisfaction flashed in Hongli's eyes.

"Go to Jingren Palace in person and tell them that I will be having lunch with the Queen Mother today."

"Yes."

Wang Qin responded and went down, naturally bringing back the news that Yixiu should have lunch in the afternoon.

Putting down the memorial in his hand, Hongli stretched out his hand and pinched his eyebrows, but an uncontrollable feeling of distress came over him.

The sedan chair swayed slowly and landed outside the gate of Jingren Palace in just a short while.

"emperor."

Wang Qin opened the curtain of the sedan chair, and Hongli was awakened by the other party's gentle call.

After helping the person get off the sedan chair, Jianqiu was already waiting outside the palace gate.

"Your servant pays respects to the Emperor. May the Emperor be blessed with good health and happiness."

"Aunt Jianqiu, there's no need to be so polite. Is the Empress free at this moment?"

"The Empress Dowager learned that the Emperor would be dining with her, so she personally cooked today. She is currently in the small kitchen. Your Majesty, please come."

Hongli was stunned when he heard this.

Since he was born, he has never enjoyed the love of his mother.

Where is Concubine Xi?

She treated me well, but she was more of a teacher than a mother and child, not to mention cooking and preparing food for me.

I didn't expect that the Queen Mother would be so...

Take care of yourself.

Hongli paused for a moment and raised his head slightly. "How can I let the Empress Dowager worry about me? Please lead the way, Aunt. I will go to pay my respects to the Empress Dowager now."

"Yes, Your Majesty, please."

For some reason, Hongli subconsciously quickened his pace.

When I walked to the door of the small kitchen, I saw Yixiu holding the soup spoon and tasting it with her head down.

Then he took something from the side and added it into the soup.

Hongli paused.

If my mother were still alive, she would probably look like this, right?

As soon as this thought appeared, it grew like weeds and could not be eliminated.

At this moment, Yixiu happened to turn around and saw Hongli and Jianqiu standing outside the door.

He put down the soup spoon casually and said with a smile, "Why didn't you make a sound when you came? Aren't you afraid of startling others?"

"Empress...Mother..."

Hongli paused, then continued, "It's just a meal. How dare I trouble the Empress Dowager to prepare it yourself? The Empress Dowager is really embarrassing me."

Yixiu smiled but said nothing.

Turning around, she closed the lid of the pottery jar, walked towards Hongli, and said, "When your father was alive, his favorite dish was this old duck soup that I made. You can try it today. If you like it, I will make it and have it sent to the Yangxin Palace when I have time in the future."
