If the Emperor was truly crippled, then what status would he have to continue his future life? Would he send himself back to the Yuanzhou? If he was no longer the Queen, would his mother be the first wife?

She turned around and walked out of the hall. Without waiting for the Emperor to chase her out again, she walked away on her own.

"I have seen her in your Longevity Palace. It was only on that day that we met that she found out that the General Shen that Qing Ya was talking about was the great hero that helped us kill bandits in Yuanzhou three years ago."

The empress dowager's eyes lit up with interest. "There's such a story? Tell me, I'll listen to it."

Back then, if Shen Zhe had not descended from the sky, the Yuanzhou City would have been in trouble. The Qiu Family's ancestral home could be considered a big family in the Yuanzhou, it would definitely become a large meat in the eyes of the bandits. Fortunately, when Shen Zhe led his troops, they were able to avoid a disaster.

The few simple matters weren't any different from what Shen Zhe told the emperor. It was just that Shen Zhe took that beautiful girl into his heart, but to the little girl, he was just a benefactor who would feel grateful if she were to bring it up.

These words were merely the heroic deeds of her nephew, but the simple Empress Dowager had not known such an interesting thing.

Forget about her nephew, not to mention that the empress dowager had never thought about that sort of thing, when her daughter-in-law spoke of the past in such an open manner, she did not suspect that they had met each other before. Even if the empress dowager had really thought about it further, she would still understand that there was nothing wrong with Xiu-Er over here.

However, she didn't know that her son had already made an absurd decision.

Shen Zhe was late, the messenger returned to report, saying that the General Shen had been sent by the emperor to handle the errands, and couldn't come today to pay respects to the empress dowager.

The empress dowager was unhappy. "He only has this one younger brother, and he wants to tire him to death. Look for him for everything."

Seeing that it was already late in the night, and thinking that they had walked quite a distance outside today, the Empress Dowager told Yu'er to rest early. After the wife and daughter-in-law separated, Yu'er returned to her room as usual, but there was no elegance to be seen from the door. The other palace maids said, "Yun mama went to the kitchen and said that he was worried that Imperial Mother might have a bad appetite in the bitter summer, so he personally made porridge for you."

"I ate some snacks with the empress dowager outside and don't want to eat anymore at night. You guys go find her and bring her back. It'll be better if I stay with the empress dowager tomorrow morning."

However, Qingya was not in the kitchen. She was a person who had just walked out of the emperor's Hall, and she was holding a paper bag tightly, as if she felt the sweat on her palms was soaking through the paper, and quickly stuffed it into her bosom. When Zhou Huai came over and saw that she looked pale, he asked worriedly: "What happened to you, why are your face so pale, and your lips so white."

Qing Ya looked at him, feeling conflicted. Even Zhou Huai did not know about this?

She was stunned and asked, "Where is the general?"

Zhou Huai shook his head: "I only saw him come and I didn't see him leave, but I heard that he went to handle some errands."

Zhou Huai hurriedly supported her as her clear and elegant legs trembled. She smiled bitterly: "It's fine, I just got heat stroke."

When she wandered back to the empress, she was about to take a bath and change her clothes. When she saw Qing Ya's expression, she smiled and asked, "Did you faint from the heat in the kitchen?"

Her noble and indifferent gaze was the same as when they first met. She always felt that she could not hide anything from the empress. Her gentle and tranquil smile seemed to contain great wisdom. She was just a fairy that came to the afterlife to laugh at the wind and clouds.

As for Yu'er, she understood from the first day that Yun Qingya was the emperor's person, but she did not have anything to hide from the emperor, so she did not care if there were any spies or not. Since the emperor liked to spy on her, then she would watch over her, and whether or not someone was watching, she would live gracefully and elegantly.

The palace maids served the Queen's Soup bath. The beautiful woman's cheeks were red and her mouth was dry. She gracefully and elegantly brought out a bowl of iced sour plum soup. After slowly drinking half a bowl, she felt refreshed and refreshed. Wearing a thin layer of silk pajamas, he leisurely stood under the window and leisurely waved the fan made of jade in his hand.

"Your Highness, are we going to smoke it tonight?" Qing Ya sent away the bowl of sour plum soup and turned to the empress.

In the blink of an eye, the fan fell to the ground. The jade handle was broken into two, and Yu'er's vision turned black as she fell to the ground. She didn't know anything.
