Chapter 191 The Queen's People
Half a month later, the old emperor's dizziness finally disappeared.
He asked the imperial physician to diagnose him, and the physician said in surprise: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, your condition is improving, and the blockages in your body have been unblocked. Your physical condition is now the same as when you were fifty years old. You just need to continue to maintain a light diet and exercise regularly in the future."
The old emperor was surprised, he knew that this was all thanks to Doctor Fang and Li Yujiao.
In his joy, he issued another imperial decree, raising Li Yujiao's rank to the second rank.
In this way, Li Yujiao could be on an equal footing with the concubines in the palace, and her position was only below the queen and several concubines.
……
Li Yujiao was sitting at home when the imperial edict came from the sky, inexplicably raising her rank. She didn't know whether this was a good thing or not. If it happened to others, it would definitely be a good thing, but she always questioned herself.
Maybe this is fate.
She changed many plots in the book and also gained a lot of extra things, including Jing Qishan's love.
Li Yujiao's mention of rank was bound to cause a stir in the capital.
There are those who are jealous, and there are those who are skeptical, but they are just discussing things secretly behind the scenes.
The queen's bedroom.
The queen was lying on the couch, with two maids peeling oranges for her.
But she had no appetite at all.
She had previously asked the imperial physician about the old emperor's health, and the physician had said that he might not survive the winter.
She had originally planned to push her son to the throne as soon as the old emperor died.
She was the daughter of Marquis Ding'an. Her father was in charge of the army in the north. More than ten years ago, she entered the palace with the family's mission just to give birth to Long Er.
After giving birth to two princesses, she finally gave birth to a prince.
In terms of background, her four-year-old son Xiao Yujing is the most powerful. He has a mother who is the queen and a grandfather who is a marquis. She can rule the country from behind the scenes and hold great power. Maybe Daqi can change his surname to hers!
However, now he has been cured by a folk miracle doctor and Li Yujiao!
If you miss this opportunity, you don’t know when you will have the chance to come again.
"Madam Liu, go tell Guard Xiao that the plan has changed and that we should not move for the time being."
Nanny Liu went there quickly.
Afterwards, the Queen instructed Nanny Chen: "Nanny Chen, pick a few people for the Minister of War's residence and say that I sent them. After all, there are not many people in their residence."
Nanny Chen also hurried there.
……
Shangshu Mansion.
Jing Qishan and Li Yujiao were having dinner while teasing little Huaning.
Little Huaning was one year old and could already eat soft stewed food. Li Yujiao wouldn't let anyone feed her and let her eat by herself. She held a small spoon and wanted to eat a piece of pork ribs, but she couldn't get it on the spoon. She was so angry that she threw the spoon away.
This fierce look made both Jing Qishan and Li Yujiao laugh.
Li Yujiao picked up the spoon and said, "Ning'er's character is like his father, fierce and mean."
Jing Qishan couldn't help but feel aggrieved: "When you are fierce, you are like me?"
Li Yujiao picked up the piece of ribs and put it in Xiao Huaning's hand, asking Xiao Huaning to hold it and chew it. Xiao Huaning ate all the meat in the front part and didn't know to change to another position to chew. He didn't get any meat and was so angry that he wanted to throw the ribs away.
She made her parents laugh again.
Li Yujiao said: "Ning'er, you are so fierce, be careful that you won't be able to get married in the future."
Jing Qishan on the side said: "If you can't get married, then don't get married. Just follow your parents in the future."
"..."
The two were coaxing the baby when someone from the palace came with a message saying that the Queen had sent a group of people to their house.
Li Yujiao and Jing Qishan looked at each other and both knew that the Queen had ill intentions.
Send someone to them for no reason?
But after all, the person was sent by the Queen, and they had no choice but to refuse.
After Nanny Chen brought the people and the words, she left, leaving behind a few maids and servants in the palace.
Li Yujiao looked at the maids and servants lined up in a row. These were all people who came out of the palace. If they were in the common people, each of them would have an extraordinary temperament and was not an ordinary person. Their temperament was even better than that of some wives of ministers in the capital.
It's such a waste to have her here.
Headache!
But at the critical moment, there is Nanny Zhang.
Nanny Zhang was given to her by the Emperor, so she must be more noble than the Queen's people.
"Madam Zhang, please assign tasks for them. However, they are all elderly people around the Empress, so you can't neglect them. Pick some light tasks for them to do, not heavy ones."
Nanny Zhang is a smart person and of course she knows what Li Yujiao means.
We cannot arrange people to the outer courtyard, otherwise the queen will be unhappy.
They were arranged to the inner courtyard. These people were obviously here to test the waters. It wouldn't do to be too close.
He just casually assigned some purchasing or miscellaneous work to them, including two people in the study.
At night, Li Yujiao breathed a sigh of relief after coaxing Huaning to sleep.
Then he said to Jing Qishan: "The Queen is sending us people on the surface, but in fact she is looking for someone to keep an eye on us."
Jing Qishan put his arm around her shoulders and said, "Can you solve it? If not, I'll solve it for you."
"I can." Li Yujiao didn't want to trouble Jing Qishan for everything.
"Anyway, there are no secrets in our house. She sent people here to work for free. What should I complain about?" Li Yujiao said.
Jing Qishan smiled and kissed her at the same time: "My wife is so good."
After saying that, he wanted to do something naughty with her again.
Since having a baby, this kind of thing has been done less often. Li Yujiao doesn't want the baby to sleep with the wet nurse. A child will belong to whoever he sleeps with before the age of three, and he will not be close to his mother when he grows up.
Jing Qishan also wanted to sleep with them, so the two of them were very careful when doing naughty things for fear of waking the child.
After a round of sex, Li Yujiao was so tired that she fell asleep.
But Jing Qishan opened his eyes in the darkness.
At this time in the previous life, the old emperor was critically ill, and a stone suddenly appeared in the south of the Yellow River with eight words written on it: The phoenix comes out of the sky and becomes a dragon with its child.
It was widely rumored among the people that Feng was the Queen and that she would help her son ascend the throne. It was God's will!
But this was just a trick directed and performed by the queen herself.
I wonder if the queen in this life will perform the same act again?
……
In the palace, Madam Liu came over to tell the queen: "I have sent a message to Guard Xiao, asking him to cancel the operation in the south."
The queen nodded.
But after a while, he said, "Send a message to Guard Xiao, telling him that I will go to Baolin Temple to pay homage on the fifth day of next month, and ask him to make arrangements."
Nanny Liu understood.
……
early morning.
Li Yujiao stretched lazily.
Because little Huaning went to bed early, she woke up early too. Li Yujiao didn't have the energy to take care of her, so she asked the wet nurse to come in, wash and dress little Huaning, and then feed her some rice porridge.
She continued to sleep until the sun rose.
When she got up as usual, she found a row of people standing in the yard. Upon closer inspection, they were all the people sent by the Queen yesterday.
