Chapter 389 Make Your Own Decision
Li Xuan quickly grabbed her.
Niuniu turned back and looked at him in surprise.
Li Xuan just had very high demands on himself, and was not unreasonable. He said to Niu Niu: "I know how you want to leave the palace to be with your family, but you are crying to find the Queen Mother. People along the way saw it, and I'm afraid Will spread gossip."
Niu Niu couldn't stop her tears: "My family has encountered so many troubles, how could I not cry? And why can't I cry in the palace?"
"Even if we cry in the palace, we do it secretly behind others' backs because it would violate the taboos of those above us." Li Xuan explained.
Niuniu was still sobbing.
Li Xuan looked at her helplessly, took out a handkerchief from his arms, gently wiped the tears on the little girl's face, and then said: "If you keep crying like this, I'm afraid it will be difficult for the Queen Mother to agree to let you go out." palace."
Hearing what Li Xuan said, Niu Niu's tears stopped instantly. The little girl lifted up her skirt and ran towards Shoukang Palace.
Li Xuan hurriedly chased after him: "Run slowly, if you turn around you will be hit by someone again!"
Niu Niu slowed down when she heard this reminder.
Li Xuan took her hand and said, "When you meet the Queen Mother soon, don't be anxious. Speak slowly and make sure you speak clearly to avoid misunderstanding by the Queen Mother."
Niuniu nodded vigorously.
When the two children walked into Shoukang Palace hand in hand, the Queen Mother suddenly brightened up when she saw this scene.
"Why did you two come here together?" the Queen Mother asked with a smile.
Li Xuan kowtowed to the Queen Mother in a polite manner.
But Niu Niu didn't have so many scruples. The little girl ran and threw herself into the arms of the Queen Mother: "Grandma, the Queen Mother, I want to go home from the palace!"
When the Queen Mother heard this, she immediately looked at Li Xuan with a scrutinizing look. She suspected that Li Xuan had said something to Niu Niu.
Li Xuan lowered his eyebrows and stood aside without saying anything.
Niu Niu pulled the corner of the Queen Mother's clothes and said, "In the prince's office, Li Shuo, who was particularly seriously injured, told me that my family has suffered a great disaster! I am very worried about them!"
The Queen Mother withdrew her doubts about Li Xuan, turned around, looked at Niu Niu, and said, "Don't worry, my dear, even if something happens to your family, for your sake, Your Majesty will take a lenient sentence."
When Niuniu heard this, her eyes widened: "But my family has done nothing wrong."
The Queen Mother thought of the news she had received. Three people became a tiger. According to the rumors, the Gu family seemed to be very unbearable. She only liked Niu Niu and had only met Zhang Yunniang once. She did not know the rest of the Gu family. She was inevitably affected by the rumors. .
Li Xuan, who had not said a word since entering the Shoukang Palace to pay his respects, suddenly spoke at this moment: "The Queen Mother, it is human nature for children to miss their parents and want to be with them when the family is in danger. Please The Queen Mother cared about Niu Niu's human relations and allowed her to leave the palace. "
The Queen Mother looked at him in surprise, but still did not say anything to allow Niu Niu to leave the palace. After all, the child in Concubine Shun's belly was brought about by Niu Niu. The Queen Mother was also afraid that after Niu Niu left the palace, the child would have some problems.
"Okay, dear baby, just keep your heart in your stomach. The Ai family has already told your uncle, the Emperor, that the Gu family's affairs will be carefully checked and they will never wrongly accuse a good person." The Queen Mother patted Niu Niu's cheek. He asked the palace servants on his left and right to ask the imperial kitchen to prepare Niu Niu's favorite dishes.
Niu Niu burst into tears when she heard what the Queen Mother said.
The Queen Mother felt extremely distressed. She hugged him in her arms and said coaxingly: "Don't worry, nothing will happen. Your uncle, the emperor, knows what he is doing. Your father is very important and he will not let himself get lost in these things easily."
Niu Niu shook her head and kept saying: "My family members were all wronged... They are the best people in the world... They will definitely not do these things..."
The little girl kept mumbling these words, just like a puppet on strings, her eyes were empty, as if she had lost her soul.
Li Xuan was very worried on the side and couldn't help but remind the Queen Mother: "The Queen Mother, there seems to be something wrong with Niuniu."
The Queen Mother looked down and was shocked. The little girl was happy every day. She had never seen such an empty time.
"Call the doctor over here! Hurry!" the Queen Mother urged Nanny Sun.
Everyone in Shoukang Palace knew that Niu Niu was the Queen Mother's favorite, and they were afraid that the little girl would have some shortcomings, so they went to see the imperial doctor very quickly this time.
When the imperial physician arrived, he was followed by Concubine Shun, who was surrounded by a group of people.
After Concubine Shun was confirmed to be pregnant, she was promoted from Luo Meiren to Concubine Shun. At this time, her belly was far from showing that she was pregnant. However, the Queen Mother was afraid that the fetus would be in danger, so she always required Concubine Shun to have six people around her. .
The first two people opened the way, the middle two people supported Shun Fei, and the two behind people prevented anyone from attacking from behind.
"Empress Dowager, I was out for a walk. I happened to see the imperial doctor walking in a hurry, so I followed him to have a look." Concubine Shun explained the reason why she came here.
When she got closer, she was shocked when she saw Niu Niu with tears on her face and dull eyes.
"Good boy?" Concubine Shun asked softly.
A glimmer of light slowly appeared in Niu Niu's eyes. She just glanced at Concubine Shun, then turned her face away with the corners of her mouth pulled down.
"It's so good, why are you so sad?" Concubine Shun also felt very distressed.
The Queen Mother reluctantly explained: "There was that talkative person who came to Niuniu and talked nonsense. The child was frightened and had to leave the palace and go back to accompany her parents."
Shun Fei was surrounded by the Queen Mother's people, and these people did not dare to talk to her, so she was not really clear about what was happening outside. At this time, she looked at Nanny Sun with a puzzled look. Nanny Sun lowered her voice and explained the whole story to Shun Fei.
"Your Majesty, there is no reason to send a child who has just become pregnant." Nanny Sun said in a low voice.
For a moment, Shun Fei's guilt towards Niu Niu reached its peak. If it were not for her pregnancy, why would Niu Niu be confined in the palace all the time.
If it were for herself, she should stand on the same front with the Queen Mother, but seeing Niu Niu now nestling in the Queen Mother's arms, her little appearance looked so pitiful, and she was immediately full of pity.
"Your Majesty, my concubine's pregnancy is stable, so why not let the baby go out of the palace..."
Shun Fei's words just came out, and she met the Queen Mother's eyes.
The Queen Mother had always been meditating and worshipping Buddha, and she always showed a kind face. Even when she scolded the former Concubine Li in public, her expression would not fluctuate too much. Concubine Shun had never seen the Queen Mother with such a terrifying look, and she was so scared that she swallowed the words she had not yet said.
"The Gu family will be fine, and the child in your belly will be fine too. There is no need to talk about this matter anymore. I have made my own decision in my heart." The Queen Mother said coldly.
