Dong Shu naturally did not know the Empress's current thoughts. She felt that the Empress was sincerely treating her well, so she took extra care when taking care of her.
Since the empress had experienced so much, it was easy to tell if she was sincere or not.
When she needed convenience, Dong Shu would personally serve her, but she did not feel dirty, and because of this, he felt that Dong Shu was extremely filial.
The queen was in a good mood, but her heart was troubled because she had been served by such a filial junior like Dong Shu.
Therefore, when Mama Su and Mama Hu came together to rotate Dong Shu and Xu Nuanwen at the latter half of the night, they discovered that Empress's expression was much better than before.
At this moment, the empress had gotten some more sleep. She didn't sleep much when she got old, so she didn't feel sleepy at all.
Seeing that Mama Su and Mama Hu were staring at his face, she could not help but laugh: "Do you think that my face is good too? This disciple has served Shu'er's heart and is in a good mood, so I naturally look a lot better. "
Mama Su and Mama Hu were both intelligent people, but when they heard the empress's words, they understood that the empress not only liked Dong Shu, but wanted to pass on her reputation.
"Third Madame is naturally filial, it was also because of Old Madame's foresight. Otherwise, how would Third Madame have the chance to meet the Empress?"
It was rare for the Mama Hu to say so much, and it was even to praise the Old Madame Xu.
The moment the empress heard the Mama Hu's words, she immediately smiled and said, "That's right, if it wasn't for Shu'er marrying into the Xu Family, I really wouldn't have been able to see her." After saying this, the empress paused for a moment before continuing, "Help me remember this matter. Wait until my body is better before you announce that Old Madame is allowed to enter the palace. However, the reward you gave to Xu Family this time can't be missing the one you bestowed to Old Madame Xu. "
As long as the empress was in a good mood, would not say a word, not to mention a reward, even if she had to deliver all the things inside the Phoenix Palace warehouse to Xu Family.
Now that the empress had gone into a state of desolation, His Majesty continued to deliver gifts to Phoenix Palace despite the guilt in her heart.
Previously, the empress would only occasionally bestow some rewards to Hu Family, but now, she didn't have to worry about those things falling to the dust after they had been stored in the warehouse for too long.
With Dong Shu, who was sincerely filial to the Empress, there was finally a chance for him to take out the things in the Phoenix Palace warehouse to reward others.
Dong Shu didn't know what the Mama Hu and Empress were thinking. After the Mama Su and the Mama Hu arrived, she went with the Aunt Sister to the side hall that the Phoenix Palace palace maids had prepared for them to rest.
Because Xu Nuanwen was worried that it would be the first time that Dong Shu would spend the night in an unfamiliar place, she specifically told the empress that she would rest with Dong Shu at night.
Although Dong Shu was silly, she was not stupid. Seeing that Aunt Sister had always been guarding her, after she finished washing up and laid on the bed, she also understood the reason why Xu Nuanwen had always been by her side today.
"Big sister, thank you."
In the darkness, Dong Shu softly thanked Xu Nuanwen but Xu Qinghu did not speak. She only raised his hand and lightly patted the back of Dong Shu's hand.
Sensing the comforting aura from Aunt Sister, Dong Shu said with sour eyes: "I don't know if Yuanxi has missed me. Since she was born, it's still the first time I've left her for so long."
Hearing Dong Shu mention her child, Xu Nuanwen finally replied, "There's Mother at home, so you don't have to worry. Furthermore, he will be back at night, and at times, with Autumn's help, Yuanxi will definitely be well taken care of. " After saying this, Xu Nuanwen thought for a while and continued, "I saw that Imperial Mother's mental state was much better than before. When I woke up, I'll see what the imperial physician has to say. If it's really no good, I'll send a letter to your brother-in-law and have him send someone to the manor to stay for two days with the children. "
Xu Nuanwen thought that the empress hadn't been well today, so the Emperor Ruikang had basically sealed her Phoenix Palace. When the news of the empress waking up tomorrow spread, there would definitely be other people who would come to the palace to visit the empress.
Although they didn't want to admit it, the empress was still their legitimate mother. If she became ill, then their daughter-in-law would definitely go to the palace to tend to her ailments.
"There's no need to trouble Brother-in-law. With Mother at home, I can be at ease." But this is my first time leaving home after all. I miss Yuanxi a little in my heart. " As for Hubby, Dong Shu naturally knew that words like Hubby were not something that could be said casually, which was why she opened her mouth and said Hubby was Yuanxi.
Xu Nuanwen thought about how she would wake up her sister-in-law from sleep tomorrow, so she did not think deeply about what Dong Shu had said. She comforted Dong Shu a little more, then fell asleep with her.
Today, Dong Shu and Xu Nuanwen hurriedly rushed over from the Villa, not mentioning how worried they were, even after arriving at the Imperial Palace, they were still holding their breath.
It wasn't until the empress woke up that the two of them were able to breathe a sigh of relief. They were worried that the empress's illness would repeat itself while they were guarding the empress.
Only after lying down did the two of them feel relieved. They could really have a good rest.
It was an honor to serve the empress, especially after the Hu Family found out that Dong Shu was treating the empress, and sent the post to the palace but was rejected by the empress herself.
Dong Shu and Xu Nuanwen, who were kept by the Queen's side, were completely shocked.
However, intelligent people knew that Xu Nuanwen would enter the palace because they were worried about Dong Shu. After all, Dong Shu was not the empress's daughter-in-law, and even more so not her daughter.
Although Emperor Ruikang is old, it's not like his harem doesn't have a young concubine.
Therefore, anyone with eyes would know that the one who was truly accompanying the empress and treating her illness was actually Dong Shu, the Third Madame of Xu Family.
On the morning of the third day, when the Queen was able to go down to the ground, it proved that Dong Shu was blessed.
There were already many people who knew about Dong Shu being fortunate. Now that the matter of the Empress had been revealed, there were naturally even more people who believed that Dong Shu was fortunate.
Third Prince Ye Jingche thought so too. When the news of the empress waking up and landing on the ground spread out in the palace, he was so angry that he threw everything he had at that time.
After throwing everything down and releasing the fire, Ye Jingche finally seriously thought of Dong Shu.
Thinking about the rumors in the capital, Ye Jingche laughed coldly, his entire person revealing a gloomy aura.
Within the Phoenix Palace, because the empress's complexion was much better than yesterday, and the imperial physician's pulse said that it was much better than the day before, everyone's complexion had also improved quite a bit.
Seeing that everyone's face was filled with joy, Emperor Ruikang immediately waved his hand and bestowed the Phoenix Palace upon them, especially Dong Shu and Xu Nuanwen. The two of them received even more rewards, and among the rewards, Dong Shu's reward was even thicker.
The empress just watched silently as the Emperor Ruikang bestowed rewards to the top and bottom of the Phoenix Palace. Seeing that he didn't mention anything about punishing those who harmed her, she didn't mention anything either.
However, his heart, which had originally been wounded, had become colder.
Even though Emperor Ruikang knew that the empress didn't seem to investigate the person who harmed her this time, it didn't mean that she really didn't care.
He wanted to say a few words of persuasion, but he didn't know how to begin.
The empress had been married to the Emperor Ruikang for so many years, how could she not know his personality? Seeing his troubled expression, she immediately spoke up, "Your Majesty, it's best if you don't say anything. You should also understand that even though I've been peacefully staying in my Phoenix Palace and don't go out, it doesn't mean I don't know anything."
When the Empress said this, Emperor Ruikang's face immediately flashed with awkwardness.
When the Empress saw the Emperor Ruikang's expression, she coldly snorted in her heart before looking at Xu Nuanwen and Dong Shu and saying, "These two days have been tough on you two. You are both the manager's wife, so it's not good for you to stay here and wait. After receiving your rewards, I will have Mama Su send you out of the palace. "
Everyone understood that although the empress's words were spoken while looking at Xu Nuanwen and the others, she was actually speaking to Dong Shu alone.
Not to mention that the Fifth Prince had been waiting in the palace for the past two days, Xu Nuanwen was able to see the Fifth Prince the moment she stepped out of the Phoenix Palace, even the Fifth Prince Palace was not far from the Imperial Palace.
But Dong Shu was not.
Forget about Xu Shiqiu who was still in the camp training new recruits, even the houses in the Xu Family capital did not have a master present. The only one who needed a gift from the Mama Su was naturally Dong Shu.
When Dong Shu heard the empress's words, she also didn't react. It was only when Xu Nuanwen opened her mouth and said that she would be able to return home after leaving the palace that she finally understood what the empress's words meant.
"There's no need to trouble Mama Su. The Empress can send a carriage to escort this official's wife." Dong Shu naturally did not want to trouble Mama Su.
Forget about the fact that Mama Su was also very tired from taking care of the empress these two days, even if they leave, the empress would definitely have Mama Su and Mama Hu waiting on them.
When the Queen heard Dong Shu's words, she was initially unwilling to do so. After all, Dong Shu had been brought over by her men. If she wanted to return this time, it would naturally be her own men who would send them back.
But before she could speak, she heard Dong Shu continue: "Furthermore, the Empress still needs Mama Su to wait on her. It's just that from the capital to the villa, with a carriage to send her off, and this subject has Mama Yan by her side, everything will definitely be fine."
Dong Shu did not feel that her body was delicate, and that she had the Mama Yan to accompany her, so she did not feel that she needed the Mama Su to send her off.
When Dong Shu's words came out, before the Empress could even speak, Emperor Ruikang had already nodded her head and said, "You have your duty."
After saying this to Dong Shu, the Emperor Ruikang then looked towards the empress and said, "Since the empress is worried, we will arrange for a few guards to send them back."
After hearing Emperor Ruikang's words, the empress looked at the Mama Su at the side who also had a face full of worry, and did not insist on letting Dong Shu personally go.
Everyone heaved a sigh of relief seeing that the empress had given up.
Although the Empress did not insist on letting the Mama Su send Dong Shu back, she gave Dong Shu a lot of rewards.
Dong Shu was originally feeling apprehensive, but after seeing Aunt Sister secretly give him a meaningful look, she finally accepted the rewards.
In the end, Emperor Ruikang had no choice but to arrange for two carriages. One carriage was used to place the bestowal, while the other carriage was reserved for Dong Shu and Mama Yan.
After everything was tidied up, Dong Shu walked forward quickly to the empress's side. When the empress took the initiative to hold her hand, she said a few words of concern to the empress.
"Niang Niang, after Shu'er returned home to see if she was alright, she organized the matters of her family and then entered the palace to accompany you."
It was impossible for Dong Shu to not return. After coming out for two days and hurriedly coming out for another two days, she had long ago started to think about Yuanxi and the others at home.
So when Dong Shu thought about it carefully, the sky gradually cooled down. This time, when she went back, she could sort out the matters in the manor, and then move back to the city.
After moving back to the capital, she could enter the palace to accompany the empress every morning and only return in the afternoon when the palace doors closed.
This way, not only could she serve the Queen, she could also see Yuanxi everyday.
After the Queen heard Dong Shu's words, she naturally felt very comfortable and only felt that Dong Shu was considerate.
Emperor Ruikang saw that the Empress liked Dong Shu so much, he could not help but say: "Since the Empress likes the Madame Dong this much, it would be better to give her a piece of Phoenix Palace. In the future, it would be more convenient for her to come to the palace to visit the Empress."
Emperor Ruikang really wanted to curry favor with the empress, but the empress shook her head and rejected his suggestion after hearing his words.
After the Queen rejected Dong Shu, she saw that Dong Shu's face was only blank and expressionless, and couldn't help but look at Xu Nuanwen, "Fifth Elder, accompany your Shu'er out of the palace later. You must personally send her out of the city."
When Xu Nuanwen heard the empress's words, she understood what she meant. She nodded at the empress and said, "Imperial Mother, don't worry.
Emperor Ruikang felt awkward being rejected by the Queen. Fortunately the time for him to consume the medicine had come, so he quickly ordered his personal attendants to personally send Dong Shu back.
After the Emperor Ruikang left, Dong Shu followed Xu Nuanwen and left the palace. The moment they left, Xu Nuanwen explained the reason why the Queen didn't agree to give him the tablet.
"Mother didn't give you the plate because it's good for you. If someone were to steal your plate and do something to you, it would be bad for you."
Hearing Xu Nuanwen's words, Dong Shu immediately understood.
"Elder sister, don't worry. I understand." Saying that, Dong Shu blinked her crescent eyes, and smiled at Xu Nuanwen seriously.
Seeing that Dong Shu truly understood, Xu Nuanwen did not mention this matter. She repeatedly reminded Dong Shu to rest well for two days before returning to the capital.
After Xu Nuanwen sent Dong Shu to the city gate, Dong Shu got off the carriage from the Fifth Prince Palace and sat in one of the carriages arranged by the palace.
After getting on the carriage, Dong Shu only wanted to close her eyes and rest. In the past two days, she had been staying in the palace, and although there were people who did it, because they were in the palace, she was very tense.
After exiting the capital, she naturally relaxed a little.
Seeing Dong Shu's exhausted face, Mama Yan naturally did not say anything. She only told her to rest at ease and wake her up when she returned to the Manor.
With Mama Yan's words, Dong Shu naturally closed her eyes and rested peacefully.
Seeing Dong Shu resting with her eyes closed, Mama Yan also sighed in her heart.
She really did not expect that Dong Shu would really enter the Empress's eyes. Presumably, with the help of this treatment, even the few princesses in the palace would have to be more respectful when they met Dong Shu again.
Thinking about these things, Mama Yan couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. Dong Shu's personality was simple and honest, wholeheartedly working for Empress, so the Empress naturally had some feelings for her.
Dong Shu didn't know that after the Mama Yan looked at her and thought about it so much, she leaned against the carriage and slowly entered into her dreams as the carriage drove on.
In her dreams, she saw Yuanxi smiling at her in happiness, but in the next moment, she suddenly felt that the carriage she was sitting on was struck by something.
Before she could regain her senses, the Mama Yan in the carriage suddenly threw her down and protected her from the ground: "Madam, do not be afraid.
Dong Shu was stunned for a while before she realized what Mama Yan meant.
At this moment, the smell of blood came from outside the carriage.
