Chapter 323 Send Her Out of the Palace for a While
The Queen Mother's sudden cry of pain caught everyone off guard.
The old man was holding his heart and screaming that it hurt, as if he was suffering some kind of inhuman torture.
Among the palace attendants present, some people were already looking at Niu Niu strangely.
It's like Niuniu is the culprit.
Luo Meiren took advantage of the chaos and pulled the helpless Niu Niu aside.
Niu Niu had never seen such a scene. Her face was blank at this moment and she whispered: "I... I beat my grandma's legs at home... I never do this..."
Luo Meiren held the little girl in her arms, patted her back gently with her hands, and kept comforting her: "It's okay, it's okay, the Queen Mother will be fine, and so will you. Nothing will happen."
The emperor looked at the Queen Mother with concern. Another eunuch serving beside him passed over the chief eunuch and said, "Your Majesty, this child has hurt the Queen Mother. Do you want to take him down?"
The chief eunuch turned around and looked at his colleague in surprise. He recalled the emperor and the queen mother's love for Niu Niu, but they didn't say anything and didn't act like a villain.
The emperor frowned, looked back at Niuniu and Luo Meiren, and said, "You take care of Niuniu first, and I will send someone to pick up the child later."
When Luo Meiren heard this, she felt relieved. The emperor said this, at least until he found out, he would not anger Niu Niu.
Niu Niu whispered: "But I want to stay with the Queen Mother..."
Luo Meiren said quickly: "Good boy, be good. You go to my place to play for a while. When the Queen Mother is well, she will naturally summon you."
The scene was once again in chaos, and a sedan chair was dispatched from the nearest palace to chase them away.
Also coming with the sedan chair was Concubine Li.
Concubine Li saluted to the emperor, and then asked: "Your Majesty, I heard that there is a mess here, what happened?"
The emperor glanced at the chief eunuch beside him.
The chief eunuch immediately explained the situation succinctly.
Concubine Li glanced at Niu Niu and Luo Meiren who were standing aside, and whispered: "Your Majesty, although I don't know what the Queen Mother's illness is now, is it a bit unlucky for this child to cause such a big incident just one day after entering the palace? "
After all, Niu Niu was only six years old, so it was difficult to directly blame the Queen Mother's physical condition on Niu Niu, but the imperial concubine returned the favor by saying that the Queen Mother herself was "unlucky".
Niu Niu was still trying to understand what the adults were saying. Luo Meiren immediately knelt down with her child and said bravely: "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother loves Niu Niu very much. Her sudden pain must have nothing to do with Niu Niu!"
Concubine Li glanced at Luo Meiren with disdain and said: "The Queen Mother is a noble woman. The Queen Mother never likes to take a walk after dinner. Who dragged her out today? And who insisted on beating her legs to cause this? Is Luo Meiren's empty words going to completely remove all responsibility for this mess?"
Naturally, Luo Meiren couldn't argue with Concubine Li.
Seeing that the emperor looked at Niu Niu with something wrong, Luo Meiren hurriedly continued to hide the child in her arms.
However, Niuniu squeezed out of her arms. After struggling away, the little girl ran to the Queen Mother's side and held the Queen Mother's hand.
"The Queen Mother will be fine!" the little girl said crisply.
Originally, the Queen Mother was in excruciating pain. She could neither hear nor see clearly in her ears and eyes. She felt so weak that she was about to see the King of Hell.
When the little girl held her hand, the Queen Mother suddenly felt a little stronger. She had been in the palace for decades, so she naturally wouldn't think that the little girl could beat herself like this just by beating her legs twice.
She tried her best to say: "Niuniu... follow me..."
The Queen Mother seemed to have expended all her strength when she said these words. The old man couldn't bear it anymore. As soon as he closed his eyes, he fainted from the pain.
Since his own mother was still protecting Niu Niu like this, the emperor naturally had no choice but to obey.
Several people helped the Queen Mother onto the sedan chair and drove her out. Li Shunfu picked up Niu Niu and followed her.
The imperial concubine glanced at Luo Meiren and slowly walked towards Shoukang Palace while twisting her handkerchief.
Luo Meiren was a step late, with hesitation on her face.
The maid next to her advised: "My lord, the emperor didn't say anything, let's go back directly."
Luo Meiren was now naturally wary of people in the palace. It was okay if the little palace maid didn't dissuade her. Once she did, she immediately chased after her.
When the sedan arrived at Shoukang Palace, the Queen Mother's usual imperial physician was already waiting there.
The imperial doctor took the pulse for a long time and frowned.
The others looked at the doctor nervously.
"Mr. Li, what's going on with the Queen Mother?" the emperor asked.
Concubine Li took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention and gave Doctor Li a wink.
Doctor Li hesitated for a moment and said, "The Queen Mother has been feeling unwell for a long time. She moved too much today, and the child beat her legs randomly, which caused the acupuncture points to be so painful."
After hearing this, everyone immediately turned their attention to Niu Niu.
Before the emperor could speak, Concubine Li said: "Your Majesty, you have to believe the bad luck theory! Even if this child has good intentions, she did bad things and harmed the Queen Mother. This is also a fact. For the health of the Queen Mother, it is better to It would be more appropriate to send this child out of the palace."
The emperor's expression changed at this time. He secretly liked Niu Niu very much, and he was very unwilling to believe that Niu Niu was full of bad luck, and he was not very willing to expel her from the palace.
But what Concubine Li said was also true.
Concubine Luo was in a panic at this time. Niuniu had only been in the palace for one day and was sent out before she could even stay overnight. If this were to be spread out, it would be a huge blow to the girl's reputation.
Perhaps even her future marriage would be affected.
Concubine Luo knelt again and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, Niuniu entered the palace because of good fortune, and the Queen Mother also loves her very much. She is definitely not an unlucky person. If you really want to send Niuniu away, you can wait until the Queen Mother wakes up before making a decision."
Concubine Luo only hated that the princess left the palace too quickly. If there was one more person present, the emperor would definitely be able to stop her from making such a decision.
Concubine Li was fanning the flames at this time: "Your Majesty, this unlucky person will bring more bad luck if he stays with the Queen Mother for a moment longer. In the long run, I am afraid that the Queen Mother's health will get worse and worse..."
The emperor's eyes finally fell on Niuniu.
Niu Niu's eyes were red, and she cried, "Niu Niu is not an unlucky person... Niu Niu is not a jinx..."
The emperor couldn't bear to watch.
The imperial concubine smiled and continued to strike while the iron was hot: "Your Majesty, look at the Queen Mother. Even though she has fainted from the pain, her brows are still furrowed, and she is obviously in great pain."
After hearing this, the emperor finally sighed and said to Niu Niu: "Good child, there are many things to do in the palace now. You should go home for a while, and I will send someone to take you to the palace."
