Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife-Chapter 685
With the end of the national mourning, it was as if the heavy sadness of the past had come to an end. Although he still felt depressed and uncomfortable thinking about it, it was no longer as heart-wrenching as when he was immersed in it.
Mu Yunyao didn't take the matter of Prince Jin's maid coming for an audience to heart. Even if the Emperor treated her brother kindly for the sake of his reputation and didn't do anything to him, with his crippled body and the rights he'd been deprived of, he still wouldn't be able to do anything.
Arriving at Qin Fang Yuan, Mu Yunyao saw Xu Qi again. At this moment, she was accompanying First Princess Yi De on a stroll in the garden. Her bright smile and intimate attitude made the Grand Princess very happy.
"Yao'er greets Grandmother."
"Come over here quickly. Just now, Xu Qi was praising the few stalks of camellias that you grew. They're so gorgeous that it makes people unable to let go of them."
Mu Yunyao smiled from the corner of her mouth. "Since Miss Xu likes it, when we leave later, let Jinqiao bring you to the Flower Room to pick a flower. The thing that the Qin Fang Garden does not lack is beautiful flowers."
Xu Qi was obviously very happy, and did not decline: "Thank you, Royal Concubine."
Mu Yunyao glanced at her surroundings, "Where's mother? Why didn't she accompany Grandmother to admire the flowers?"
"Your mother accidentally sprained her leg. She's resting in her room right now."
Mu Yunyao's heart tightened, "How did you suddenly break your leg for no reason?" This morning, she helped you take care of that peony Wei Zi, and accidentally slipped while walking. The maids were not by her side, but fortunately, Xu Fei passed by and brought your mother back. " The voice of the Grand Princess was calm and gentle, but it also seemed like she was narrating a common little matter, causing others to be unable to distinguish between her and her …
It was clear what emotions were contained within.
The worry on Mu Yunyao's face deepened, "I don't know if it's serious or not. Grandmother, let Miss Xu accompany you on a tour around here. I'm going to take a look at mother."
"Mm, go ahead."
Mu Yunyao turned around and walked towards Xu Yanhan's courtyard, and the expression on her face immediately darkened.
Inside Bi Ning's room, Xu Yanhan was leaning on the soft couch as she stared blankly at the jade pendant on the table, her expression blank. No one knew what she was thinking, but after hearing Mu Yunyao's footsteps, she regained her senses and immediately revealed a happy expression on her face, "Yao`er, you're here."
Mu Yunyao walked up quickly. When she saw her foot lying flat on the soft couch, she hurriedly lifted the hem of her clothes to check, "Mother, I heard that you sprained your foot. What happened?"
"It's nothing. That peony just watered and the pebbles on the ground had some water stains on them. They accidentally slipped and got Si Qin to apply some ointment on me to knead them. Now, other than some red and swollen, they're fine."
Mu Yunyao examined the situation carefully and found that the situation was as Xu Yanhan had said. Only then did she calm down. "I saw mother staring blankly just now, but I don't know what she's thinking about."
Xu Yanhan hesitated for a moment before gesturing Mu Yunyao to look at the jade pendant on the table, "I sprained my leg today and was sent back by Master Xu. He accidentally left this jade pendant behind when he left, and I was thinking about what kind of thank you gift I should prepare as well as returning the jade pendant." Mu Yunyao carefully sized up Xu Yanhan's expression. Seeing that she didn't reveal any change in expression, she finally let out a sigh of relief, "That's easy. I'll help mother prepare it. Your foot is injured right now, so you need to take care of your health. Don't think too much about it. Quickly go to bed and rest. You can eat lunch with me."
"They did?"
Xu Yanhan nodded, "I did."
Si Qin helped Mu Yunyao carry the teacup, "Madam coaxed the princess again. Previously during lunch, you clearly said that your feet hurt and you had no appetite, so you only drank half a bowl of the silver ear soup."
"Yao'er, there's no need to trouble yourself."
"As long as mother is happy to eat, it won't be troublesome even if I have to work in the kitchen every day." After Mu Yunyao finished speaking with a smile, she turned around and walked out.
Si Qin and Si Cha laid down on Xu Yanhan's bed and slowly left.
At the door, Jinlan and Jinqiao were waiting with rapt attention. When they saw them come out, they lowered their voices and said, "Miss ordered the two sisters to go to the kitchen to see her. My lady's servants will wait here for now."
"Yes." Si Qin and Si Cha were already prepared. After giving a response, they quickly headed to the kitchen.
Mu Yunyao was just thinking about what to do when the scribe and painting carefully stood to the side.
Si Qin and Si Cha entered and saw this scene, they immediately knelt down, "Your servant deserves to die ten thousand times for my crimes, please punish me, Miss."
Si Shu and Si Tu quickly knelt down on the ground with shame on their faces.
Mu Yunyao put down the tender spring onion in her hands and took out a handkerchief to wipe the water droplets on her fingertips. She looked at them indifferently, "You few have always been cautious, and this is also the reason why I have handed my mother over to you for your care. However, today's actions have disappointed me greatly."
Si Qin and Si Que lowered their heads, unable to refute his words.
Mu Yunyao was silent for a moment before speaking, "Get up. Kneeling and begging for forgiveness is useless. Tell me what happened this morning. I want to know why when mother was hurting her leg, none of you four were by her side. Instead, you let an outsider send her back."
Si Qin and Si Cha did not dare to get up and could only kneel down and report back, "Reporting to Miss Xu, after Madam heard that Miss Xu was also present this morning, she did not have a meal with Grand Princess Yi. She only prepared two refreshments for the Si Shu to send over."
The scribe hurriedly replied, "I wanted to return as soon as possible after delivering the snacks, but Senior Servant Qu told someone to help me find a book, so I temporarily let me go to the library. So I delayed coming back for nearly two hours." Si Qin continued, "Si Shu did not come back, and the Madam did not notice. Seeing that the sky was getting dark, she wanted to go out and take a walk, so she asked Si Tu to stay with Bi Ning and bring her servant and Si Que to the garden to enjoy the scenery." Passing by the Peony Court, I thought of Miss's favorite Wei Zi and went to check it out.
Seeing that the gardener had just finished raising the soil and was in the mood to help you take care of it, he asked the servant to fetch the fertilizer, leaving Si Que to stand guard on the side. "
Mu Yunyao nodded and looked at Si Que, "Then, why did you also leave in the middle of the journey?" Miss, as for Grand Princess Yide, she saw that the Madame did not go to eat, so she was very concerned. She sent some of her favorite dishes over, and as the serving maid passed by the Peony Garden and saw that the Lady was present, she came forward to give a reply. The Lady then had the servant take the dishes back to Bi Ning's room.
It wasn't appropriate for the Madam to be here by herself, but the Madam had said that they were only a few steps away from Bi Ning's residence. "After that, Madame twisted her leg …" One ring after another, everything seemed like a coincidence, but there were so many coincidences in the world?
