Chapter 244 Deliberately
Upon hearing this, everyone immediately responded and left.
Xiao Jingyi held Jing Mo's hand and glanced at Yun Fuling worriedly.
Yun Fuling looked up, met his gaze, and nodded slightly, indicating that he didn't need to worry.
Only then did Xiao Jingyi take Jing Mo's hand and walk away, looking back every few steps.
After leaving Shoukang Palace, Xiao Jingyi did not leave the palace directly, but turned around and went to Zichen Palace.
Emperor Jingping, who had returned to the Purple Palace first, looked very calm when he saw Xiao Jingyi appear, as if he had expected it.
He pushed a pile of memorials towards Xiao Jingyi and said, "Since you are here, you can help me approve all these memorials."
Xiao Jingyi had already been assisting Emperor Jingping in handling government affairs.
Emperor Jingping also intended to give Xiao Jingyi some practice and give him some experience in state affairs, not too big or too small.
The matter of reviewing memorials has happened before.
It’s just that the people in the Purple Palace kept their mouths shut, and Xiao Jingyi and Emperor Jingping also tacitly agreed not to reveal it to anyone.
Emperor Jingping assigned most of today's official duties to Xiao Jingyi, and immediately felt relieved.
He waved at Jing Mo, "Mo'er, come here, Grandpa Huang will teach you how to play pot tossing."
Jing Mo immediately left Xiao Jingyi behind, took Emperor Jingping's hand, and went to play aside.
The grandfather and grandson had a lot of fun, and laughter could be heard from time to time.
Xiao Jingyi raised his head from his desk, looked at the grandparents and grandchildren playing happily, and then compared them with himself who was working hard. He suddenly felt like he was being wronged.
He sighed secretly and continued to work hard!
In Shoukang Palace.
This was the first time that Yun Fuling was alone with Queen Mother Cui.
Although she was a little nervous, she was not afraid.
Queen Mother Cui openly kept her to take care of her illness, and would not take her life no matter what, otherwise she would give others an advantage.
Besides, with Yun Fuling's abilities, there are probably not many people in this world who can take her life.
Since he stayed to take care of the illness, he must have been chatting with Queen Mother Cui and doing some small things like serving tea and water.
Yun Fuling has experience in taking care of Xiao Jingmo, so it shouldn't be difficult for her to take care of Queen Mother Cui.
Besides, there are many palace maids and eunuchs in Shoukang Palace, so she shouldn't be needed for any work.
Yun Fuling was thinking secretly when she suddenly heard Queen Mother Cui say, "I'm thirsty."
When Sang Tao, the head female official of Shoukang Palace, saw that Yun Fuling had not moved, she immediately reminded her, "Princess Yi, the Queen Mother is thirsty."
Yun Fuling reacted immediately and poured a cup of warm water and went forward to feed Queen Mother Cui.
As soon as the Queen Mother Cui touched her lips, she reached out and knocked over the teacup, angrily scolding: "Don't you know that I have a cold? You gave me cold water to drink. What's your intention?"
Yun Fuling was slightly startled. She had just tried it and the water was clearly warm, just right for drinking.
Yun Fuling frowned, thinking that Queen Mother Cui wanted to drink some hot water. After all, when people have a cold, drinking a cup of hot water will make them feel more comfortable.
Therefore, she did not take it to heart.
He immediately said, "Then I'll pour you a cup of hotter drink."
After saying that, Yun Fuling immediately turned around and poured another glass of water.
This time the water was a little hotter than before, about 45 degrees, hot enough to drink but not scalding.
Unexpectedly, this time, Queen Mother Cui just took a sip and knocked over the teacup again.
"It's so hot, do you want to burn me to death?"
This time Yun Fuling was certain that Queen Mother Cui did it on purpose.
No wonder she was asked to stay and take care of the patient. It turned out that he was waiting for her here!
Yun Fuling had previously discovered that Queen Mother Cui was pretending to be unconscious and found it strange. She couldn't figure out what she was doing.
She thought about all sorts of things, even the idea of forcing the emperor to abdicate and launching a coup, but she never imagined that this was a trap set for her.
How could she have deserved such trouble from Empress Dowager Cui?
But why did Queen Mother Cui suddenly target her?
Yun Fuling thought about it carefully and realized that she had not done anything to offend the empress dowager before.
Queen Mother Cui was concentrating on worshipping Buddha in Shoukang Palace and did not like being disturbed.
Therefore, except for the first and fifteenth days of each month when she came to pay her respects, Yun Fuling had few opportunities to meet Empress Dowager Cui.
And every time they met, Queen Mother Cui was very kind and did not show any dissatisfaction with her.
Yun Fuling suddenly thought of the recent events in the Cui family of Cheng'en Mansion.
Others may not know, but Yun Fuling knows very well in her heart that Xiao Jingyi was behind many of the Cui family's affairs.
Although Xiao Jingyi fanned the flames and played the role of uncovering the truth, when it comes down to it, it was the Cui family itself that was not upright.
It wasn't Xiao Jingyi who forced them to do those stupid things.
If we talk about grudges, this is probably the only one.
It seems that Queen Mother Cui knows the truth.
I want to vent my anger for Duke Cheng'en's Mansion.
Xiao Jingyi was the most beloved and most valued prince of Emperor Jingping. Empress Dowager Cui did not dare to touch Xiao Jingyi easily, so she picked her as a weak target and squeezed her.
And when you get to the bottom of it, this matter was actually caused by her.
It’s a pity that she is not a soft persimmon!
What's more, as the queen mother of a country, Queen Mother Cui was too petty to use such low-level and childish means to discipline her!
Yun Fuling's mind was racing with thoughts, but only a few moments passed.
When she came to her senses, she saw Sang Tao with a stern face, scolding: "Princess Yi, this is a sweet white porcelain tea cup. There are only a few sets in the palace. It is very precious!"
"You are so careless. How could it be broken?"
Yun Fuling raised her eyebrows slightly. It was obviously Queen Mother Cui who broke it, but now she was blamed for it!
Sang Tao didn't finish her words, and continued to chatter, "You can't even pour a glass of water. It's either cold or hot. The Empress Dowager can't even drink a sip of water. How are you taking care of her?"
Yun Fuling glanced at Sang Tao coldly.
The Queen Mother is causing trouble! It's the Queen Mother causing trouble!
How dare you, a lowly palace maid, speak to me in such a scolding tone?
Sang Tao knew that the Queen Mother wanted to teach Yun Fuling a lesson, so she set up today's trap and deliberately kept Yun Fuling here to torture her.
She was Empress Dowager Cui's confidant, so she naturally knew how to share her worries.
There were some things that Empress Dowager Cui was not convenient to say, so she had to speak up for herself.
Sang Tao was talking excitedly when she suddenly met Yun Fuling's cold gaze. She couldn't help but shiver and swallowed back all the words that were about to come.
When she looked again, she saw that although Yun Fuling's expression was not good and her eyes were cold, they were not as cold and murderous as before, which made people afraid.
The glance just now seemed like an illusion.
Yun Fuling suddenly smiled and looked at Sang Tao and said, "Aunt Sang Tao is right. I have never served anyone since I was a child. Naturally, I don't know how to pour water or take care of the sick."
"I think Aunt Sangtao is used to serving others and is outstanding in this aspect. Why don't you let Aunt Sangtao demonstrate?"
