lie made the opening remarks first and cut into the topic that Qu Yingrong had not finished talking about.
“What do you think?” Qu Yingrong looked at her own son with great interest.
Huangfu He said seriously, “Earlier, your son often heard that the servants had a bad attitude towards Second Imperial Brother. It was just that they couldn’t be caught red-handed and couldn’t be investigated. Your son believes that this servant in the palace has been disrespectful to Second Brother for a long time. Since he was caught, he should be beaten and killed to correct the atmosphere. Otherwise, this servant would be so arrogant that he would climb up to his master’s head!”
Qu Yingrong laughed and shook her head. “It doesn’t matter if it’s Prince Dun Yu or Liu Shimei. After all, he’s still young. When his temper gets the better of him, he’ll inevitably lose control. They really couldn’t be blamed for this. The Crown Prince was right. These slaves were indeed outrageous.”
She looked at Liu Shimei again and said, “Shimei, did you suffer today?”
Liu Shimei calmly and magnanimously said, “I don’t feel wronged. I’m just complaining for the prince. Even if the Prince had already established a residence outside the palace many years ago, he was still a descendant of the royal family and a member of the Tian family. I can understand why the few people led by the Chief of the Imperial Physicians don’t acknowledge His Highness just because they have some ability. However, even those palace servants who did odd jobs were the same. They couldn’t hold back their temper when I did something inappropriate. It was my fault.”
“No!” The silly puppy could not stand hearing his wife lower her head and said with a snort, “It’s the fault of these dog slaves! Wife did nothing wrong! You’re already bleeding. They’re imperial physicians. If they don’t give me face, they can’t ignore your injuries!”
These two people’s words, one good cop, one bad cop, really cooperated very well!
Qu Yingrong said helplessly to his dog temper, “Yes, yes, yes. It’s indeed the servants who were arrogant. We can’t blame you. I will clean up the Imperial Academy of Medicine’s matter, so today’s matter will be over.”
She did not hold them responsible, but her meaning was obvious: 1’11 take over this matter. You guys should stop stirring up trouble!
Relatively speaking, the Empress was already quite indulgent towards Huangfu Lingyao. It could be seen from the matter of him snatching strawberries last time.
Liu Shimei naturally understood and immediately said, “The Empress, Your Majesty, has a high sense of righteousness. I should listen to your teachings.”
When she spoke, Huangfu He, who had been stared at by Huangfu Lingyao, did not look at her, but his attention was on her.
Although he felt uncomfortable, he knew that he could not do anything out of line with their current status. Her reputation had already fallen, and he could not make it worse for her.
However, if he knew that a relationship was impossible between the two of them, he should let it go as soon as possible. However, he could not let it go and could only secretly care for her.
From the corner of his eyes, he occasionally glanced at Liu Shimei’s hand that was holding the chopsticks. It was bandaged, and he wondered how badly it was injured.
This silly Second Brother could not protect her, so how could he be at ease?
Qu Yingrong glanced at her son. Seeing that he was looking down and not saying anything, she did not say anything and only said, “Let’s eat first.”
“Yes.”
With the Empress’s permission, they began to eat.
After eating for a while, Qu Yingrong asked again, “Crown Prince, why don’t you ask why Princess Ping’an disappeared?”
Huangfu He raised his head and said calmly, “Your son saw her today. She was scared by a tiger on Tiger Mountain. The princess was angry and left the palace to return to the manor.”
“No matter what, she’s still a candidate for the Crown Princess. Even if it might not be her in the future, the Crown Prince should still put in more effort,” Qu Yingrong warned.
“I understand,” Huangfu He replied.
Qu Yingrong asked again, “Crown Prince, it’s been a while since the candidate for the Crown Princess has been decided. Do you have someone in mind?”
Hearing this, Huangfu He could not help but glance at Liu Shimei..
