The Emperor said, "On a snowy day, Ning'an and Zhen just went to give something to the Empress, but she punished us by kneeling all night..."
Having reached this point, the Emperor let out a sigh, "She's so afraid of us getting close to the Empress."
Eunuch Wei was dumbfounded.
This Empress in the Emperor’s mouth should be Empress Dowager Zhuang when he was still young.
He had already heard about this from the Emperor, but this wasn’t how the Emperor said it at that time.
"In the freezing weather, she tricked Ning'an into giving her something, causing Ning'an to be punished by imperial concubine mother when she returned and fell seriously ill! This wicked woman can't stand seeing others happy for a single day!"
These were the words of the Emperor back then.
How had it changed now?
What was going on with you, Your Majesty?
The Emperor suddenly realized that his headache wasn't as severe. He turned his head and looked at Eunuch Wei beside him, "What did you say just now?"
"Nothing, nothing." Eunuch Wei felt that the Emperor might have been stimulated by something, becoming muddleheaded. He needed to go and ask the little miracle physician if the Emperor was sick or under some curse or something.
Eunuch Wei was thinking about when to go out of the palace to find Gu Jiao, not expecting that Gu Jiao would enter the palace on her own.
Eunuch Wei ran into Gu Jiao in the imperial garden. His eyes lit up at once, "Young Miss Gu!"
"Eunuch Wei." Gu Jiao greeted him.
Eunuch Wei smiled and said, "Why have you come to the palace? Is it to visit His Majesty?"
Gu Jiao replied, "I came to see Grandaunt."
"Ah..." Eunuch Wei smiled awkwardly but politely. How could he forget that the Emperor’s tendency to always suspect Empress Dowager Zhuang had offended the little miracle physician.
Seeing him hesitate, Gu Jiao asked, "What's wrong, Eunuch Wei? Do you have something to say?"
Eunuch Wei looked around their surroundings and lowered his voice, "Well... This servant doesn’t know how to say it, but His Majesty... He... He's a bit..."
"Eunuch Wei."
Not far away, the calm voice of Imperial Concubine Dowager Jing suddenly came.
Eunuch Wei's heart trembled, and he quickly turned around, bowing respectfully, "Imperial concubine dowager."
Grannie Cai was recuperating in the nunnery due to her injuries, and by Imperial Concubine Dowager Jing's side at the moment was the young nun named Hui'an.
Imperial Concubine Dowager Jing walked over with her and glanced at the two of them. She said with a smile, "Young Miss Gu has also entered the palace. I happen to be going to visit His Majesty. Would you like to come along, Young Miss Gu?"
"Sure, I'll come along." Gu Jiao replied.
Eunuch Wei widened his eyes. Uh... Wasn’t she supposed to visit the Empress Dowager?
Imperial Concubine Dowager Jing's eyelashes trembled slightly, as if she hadn't expected Gu Jiao to agree so readily. She stood still for a moment, then smiled and said, "Then let's go together."
Gu Jiao and Imperial Concubine Dowager Jing proceeded to Huaqing Palace.
The young nun was very excited, looking around in all directions.
Gu Jiao didn't know the exact intentions of Imperial Concubine Dowager Jing. She and Eunuch Wei hadn't even exchanged a few words when Imperial Concubine Dowager Jing arrived. The reason she followed along was to see what Imperial Concubine Dowager Jing was up to.
She really just wanted to observe and had no plans to do anything, but unexpected things tend to happen in this world.
As they crossed the threshold of the small garden, Eunuch Wei suddenly slipped and accidentally bumped into Gu Jiao.
Because it was Eunuch Wei, Gu Jiao didn't dodge, otherwise, he would have fallen.
The Emperor, who had just come out of the study after reviewing the memorandums, witnessed Eunuch Wei beside Imperial Concubine Dowager Jing suddenly bumping into Gu Jiao, who received a solid hit.
Although she didn't cry out in pain, the Emperor could tell that the collision wasn't light.
The Emperor's face darkened, "Imperial concubine mother, why did you push Eunuch Wei?"
Imperial Concubine Dowager Jing, who hadn't even moved a finger: “..!!”
"Your Majesty..." Eunuch Wei wanted to say that Imperial Concubine Dowager Jing didn't push him, but before he could speak, the Emperor coldly said, "Zip it!"
Eunuch Wei fell silent.
The Emperor looked at Imperial Concubine Dowager Jing, her face showing signs of being hurt, but for some reason, the previous tenderness in his heart was gone, replaced by a faint resistance and suspicion.
I didn't do it.
Imperial Concubine Dowager Jing ultimately didn't say these words.
Because she knew better than anyone else the effectiveness of that medicine.
"Imperial concubine dowager didn't do it." The young nun argued, "It was Eunuch Wei who lost his footing on his own."
The Emperor coldly said, "How could he lose his footing out of nowhere?"
Eunuch Wei: Uh... It's true that I lost my footing myself!
Imperial Concubine Dowager Jing gave the Emperor a final glance, her hand tightly clutching her handkerchief, before walking away!
"Imperial concubine dowager! Imperial concubine dowager!" The young nun helplessly followed after her. She kept looking back in hopes that the Emperor would stop Imperial Concubine Dowager Jing, but he didn't.
The Emperor watched the receding figure of Imperial Concubine Dowager Jing, his expression momentarily dazed. However, it only lasted a moment before he composed his face and headed back to the study with a serious expression.
Eunuch Wei was completely confused. He dismissed the palace servants and said to Gu Jiao, "Young Miss Gu, you saw it too, right? Is there something wrong with His Majesty? He wasn't like this before. Did he have an argument with the imperial concubine dowager? Or did something happen to him?"
Gu Jiao didn't respond to his words but asked, "Did Imperial Concubine Dowager Jing really not push you just now?"
Eunuch Wei said, "No! His Majesty got it wrong! It was really me falling on my own, it had nothing to do with the imperial concubine dowager! It's really strange..."
"When did His Majesty become like this?"
"Young Miss Gu, what do you mean..."
"I mean, his sudden indifference towards Imperial Concubine Dowager Jing."
